The following student report was submitted by Ambassador League Agent Erin M. during the 2007-2008 League.
*high pitched voice* you're such a cute baby! Yes you are! Let's talk for a minute about the sanctity of life. We all are alive if we are reading this; we know that through some miraculous mystery we were all created.
The Merriam Webster Online Dictionary defines life as: the quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body.
It also defines sanctity as: the quality or state of being holy or sacred.
Exodus 21:22-25 (New American Standard Version)And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman's husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise. God takes this issue very seriously. Forget about population control; forget about under populating and over populating. The fact of the matter is it is NEVER right to kill a baby, unborn or not!
Exodus 21:12-14 (New American Standard Version) He who strikes a man so that he dies shall surely be put to death. But if he did not lie in wait for him, but God let him fall into his hand, and then I will appoint you a place to which he may flee. If, however, a man acts presumptuously toward his neighbor, so as to kill him craftily, you are to take him even from my alter, that he may die. God is saying that if you kill you should be killed. In our legal system, there are a lot of second chances given to murders. But why do we put them behind bars for a time when we don't put the people that have and perform abortions in jail for life? The people that perform abortions are killing no matter how you slice it that's what it comes down to.
Jeremiah 1:4, 5a. Then the word of the Lord came to me saying: Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you;
Amos 1:13Thus says the Lord: "For three transgressions of the people of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead . . ."
do not kill the innocent and righteous. Exodus 23:7. Proverbs 6:16, 17, These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him; A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood. Babies, especially those unborn and the innocent of the innocent. They have never done any thing wrong! They did not choose to be here. Your choices brought that baby here. If that was a wise choice on your part that is your fault, however no matter what we should never kill a baby! The only case in which a mother should be allowed to have a choice is when it is a serious health concern.
We are all alive reading this because someone made a choice not to abort us. Walk into a church or day care center. What do people do automatically do when they see or pick up a baby? They smile! And then they start talking in high pitched voices saying what a cute baby it is! That right there is a perfect example of innocent life that could have been shut out by a mother's choice.
