The thinking of many in our society is truly twisted. Consider the case where two little boys, who were reported kidnapped in South Carolina. Actually, the mother of those little boys confessed to murdering them. She was involved with a man who wanted her company, but not her children, so she murdered them. I know you are thinking, as I was: “How could a mother do such a hideous thing?” Such a mindset is truly twisted. I’m sure many good people would have gladly taken her little boys if she didn’t want them. But instead of showing the “natural affection” of a mother, or even giving her children to others, that young mother chose to murder her two little boys. 2 Timothy 3:3 speaks of people being “without natural affection.” It is natural for parents to love their children, and for children to love their parents. Some translations have “hard-hearted,” “inhuman,” “callous,” and “unloving.” The conduct displayed by that mother was certainly unloving, hard-hearted, inhuman, callous, and void of natural affection! It is a reminder of the twisted thinking of the pro-choice mindset.<\/p>\n
Have you stopped to reflect on how this mother would have been praised and defended if she had just killed her children earlier in an abortion clinic before they were born? In fact, if she had just decided to kill her children earlier, there are some people who even think the government should have helped her pay for the process.<\/p>\n
People who are opposed to abortion are portrayed as terrible people because they are against what is called “a mother’s choice.” But what about this mother’s choice to kill her small children? Who thinks it’s a bad thing to be against her freedom of choice to do that? Think about it. From the pro-abortion perspective, this woman’s mistake was not killing her children sooner. If she had done that before their births by abortion she would have been hailed as a courageous, liberated woman. It is sad, but we are living in a twisted society where even many mothers have been conditioned to think first and above all else about their own interests and convenience, regardless of the cost to others.<\/p>\n
Just remember this, those two little boys didn’t have a choice, did they?<\/p>\n
Think on these things.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
