What is Abortion?

Abortion Ends a Life

Abortion is a “nice” word used to describe ending the life of a human baby within its mother’s womb. Simply, it’s the commission of murder or homicide against the living child in the womb. 

Abortion, as it takes many forms like partial-birth abortion, is closely related to infanticide, the ending of a life of a child outside the womb. Science generally agrees that life begins at cellular conception. The difference between abortion and infanticide is simply whether the child has left the womb.

Any means to end the life of a child in the womb, including surgical abortion, abortion pills or other means of causing death and removal from the womb of the baby. God the Creator, through His word the Bible, clearly condemns any form of abortion or murder.

From conception, the preborn human has a unique and complete genetic code given from both its mom and dad. As early as five (5) weeks’ gestation, the preborn child’s heart starts to beat. The baby starts to move about in the womb at approximately eight (8) weeks’ gestation.

Every human life matters and has a God-given right to life; and a right to grow and know their Creator. 

What is Rescue?

All of mankind rebelled against God—you and me included. For that crime, all people have receive the death sentence in the courts of heaven. But Jesus came to earth and died in our place for sin and was raised to life again, having taken all the wrath of God for those that believe in Him and take him for Lord and Savior. Now He stands between His people and Judgement.

Rescuers are like that—they see babies taken to be murdered through abortion, and stand in-between the murderers and the babies. This is a historic Christian practice called interposition. Christian rescuers stand or sit quietly, praying and singing hymns, and offer the hope of Jesus to the hurting people who intend to commit these horrific acts.

The FACE Act

This legislation was passed in 1993 as a response to effective rescues happening across the country, where children were saved from becoming victims of homicide by faithful followers of Jesus. It begins as a misdemeanor charge for physically obstructing a clinic entrance but has been expanded by conspiracy charges from the feds.

 

Hope for life after death - even for murders

Repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ.

God is holy and righteous, and the creator of everything. As His creatures, we are held to his standard of sinless and holy living through obedience. But, that men and women did not obey their creator but sinned and became objects of His Justice. 

God clearly communicated to us His requirements and His Character through the Bible. Becuase of God’s great love for us, his enemies, Jesus Christ–very God, the embodiment of His Word–came to earth as a baby, lived a sinless and perfect life and then died to fulfill the requirement of God’s justice. Jesus took in his flesh the punishment from God for the sins of those who will simply place their trust in him. 

But God did not leave Jesus to rot in the grave dead for our sins–but raised Him again to life, then He ascended to heaven where He intercedes for us at the right hand of God the Father. Because of the love Jesus has for us, and His work on the cross, we can have a new status as adopted sons and daughters of God, and recipients of his love, grace and spiritual peace even when faced with trials and trouble here on earth. We have a future in heaven with Jesus and the Holy Spirit to help us in this life just for simple faith and believe in Jesus. 

The good news about Jesus is that His death is worthy enough to pay the penalty for the most vile sins, even baby murder. Through His resurrection to new life, we can have new life too and walk in His righteousness in holiness and repentance.

For the untold millions of babies who have been murdered through abortion, we trust in God’s grace and loving kindness towards them. But they deserve life and a chance to know God on this earth. Abortion must stop.

Who are the Rescuers?

The rescuers are those who, as Proverbs 24:11 says, “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.” (ESV) 

Rescuers stand between precious babies and the act of murder. They do it because they believe that children should be loved and protected, they should not be abused, abandoned, or murdered by “Abortion”. They are here to show up to protect the lives of the unborn baby boys and girls.
