Unborn Child?????


The new “buzz word” coming from Republican talking heads is the term, “unborn child”.  This makes about as much sense as referring to a chicken carrying an unlaid egg.  Until birth, there is no child.  According to the Bible, after God formed man in Genesis 2:7,   He “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and it was then that the man became a living being”.   Although the man was fully formed by God in all respects, he was not a living being until after taking his first breath.  In Job 33:4, it states:   “The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” And, to quote Ezekiel 37:5&6,   “Thus says the Lord God to these bones:   Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live.   And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live;   and you shall know that I am the Lord.”  According to the bible, destroying a living fetus does not equate to killing a living human being even though the fetus has the potential of becoming a human being.   One can not kill something that has not been born and taken a breath.   This means that a stillborn would not be considered a human being either.   Of course, every living sperm has the potential of becoming a human being but the potential is not the same as an “unborn child”.  It is unfortunate, but Republicans have continually demonstrated their willingness to sacrifice women, the living,  for yet-to-be born just as pagan religions sacrificed women by throwing virgins into volcanoes to please pagan gods.
