Not Fearful Enough

"Most Abortion-Minded Women 

Aren't Calculating Killers.  

They are Afraid."

This was the headline of an article from The Gospel Coalition Web site on May 19th, 2019.  This assertion is a factor in the mindset of the ProLife establishment.  It fuels the idea that women who choose abortion are victims.  ProLife people will therefore often conclude that the guilt of the mother is lessened, and in some situations completely erased.

But let us consider that 

There are a lot of members of the Mafia, who killed because they were afraid...

AFRAID the authorities would catch them.

AFRAID the person would talk.

AFRAID they would have to share the money.

AFRAID to lose their reputation as a tough guy. 

AFRAID the Boss would kill them.

Does being afraid absolve members of the Mafia of guilt?

There is no doubt that fear can be a driver of murder.

So what?  

That doesn't change the fact that murder is still a sin and a crime.

And abortion is murder.  It should be treated as such.

I would have to say that the reason people murder their children in abortion is because they are not fearful ENOUGH.

There is no escaping the fact that regardless of why parents may choose to commit child sacrifice, they are lacking the ONE FEAR they SHOULD have.

Psalm 36:1 "The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes."

We find it again in the New Testament: 

Romans 3:10-18 
10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" 
11 "There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God." 
12 "They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." 
13 "Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:" 
14 "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:" 
15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood:" 
16 "Destruction and misery are in their ways:" 
17 "And the way of peace have they not known:" 
18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes."

As Pastor and abolitionist, James Kip Farrar puts it:

"There is no contradiction between being fearful and being a calculating killer.  In fact, they fear losing safety, security, and prosperity, and they calculate that killing their child is the best way to avoid losing those things.  But ultimately they are not fearing the appropriate person...the One Who can destroy both the body and the soul."

Jesus Christ, while He walked among us, warned us of the following in Matthew 10:28 "And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

The fear of the LORD is good.  It drives us to repent of our wicked way, and run to Him instead.

Proverbs 14:27 "The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death."

Proverbs 16:6 "By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil."
