By the way, I wrote the following article a couple weeks ago, so I am now in my second trimester. :)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm quickly approaching the second trimester of my pregnancy and have really enjoyed getting the babycenter.com updates in my inbox. The kids and I read them together and watch the video about how our baby is developing.
The most
recent development at 13 weeks is tiny fingerprints. God has given this
3-inch-long baby sweet little fingers with unique fingerprints on each
one. These fingerprints will be used to identify this child in the
future.
Isn't that
amazing?! A tiny human being is growing inside of my body and, at this
moment, looks complete--with fingers and toes and eyelids and spine and
heart...a miniature human. My precious baby can squint, rub his eyes,
and kick around in his safe, warm home.
Did you know
that 88% of abortions take place during this first trimester? Babies,
with fingerprints and kicking legs, are ripped apart and thrown in the
trash because their parents choose death over life.
Approximately
55 million babies have been murdered by abortion since 1973. That's
over nine times the number of Jews murdered during the Holocaust (6
million).
As
Americans march on, proudly choosing death for their children, they are
accepted and applauded. Politicians continue to pass laws to protect
the woman's right to rule her own body and that of her unborn and
unwanted children. Hail pro-choice.
But no one,
when these babies are discarded like so many bloody rags, takes the time
to bend down and look at the tiny fingerprints which will never
identify these children.
Oh God,
forgive us. Turn us toward you, the maker and creator of each
fingerprint. May we see our great sin--the sin of killing or the sin of
saying, "I can't do anything about it." Please help us to see that this
crime scene which stretches across America is covered in our fingerprints. Help us to repent of our apathy and fight for liberty and justice for all the people with fingerprints.
