Look at the people next to you. Think about all the people you’ve ever met and also the ones you’ve only seen and never spoken to. Could you imagine if all of those people were never born? All of them murdered before they had a chance to take a breath? Imagine if you were never allowed to have your chance at life. That would be cruel and unjust! But wait, that is happening every day. Children are being murdered in the safest place on earth: their mothers’ wombs.
Yes, this is about abortion. Did you know that there have been more than 50 million abortions since Roe v. Wade? That is 50 million children. 50 million people who could have been politicians, actors / actresses, teachers, doctors, scientists, or great men or women of God.
Let’s get a picture of just how many people make up the number 50 million. The state of Massachusetts has a population of 6,587,536 as of 2011. Let’s round our numbers to the nearest million, so it has approximately 7 million occupants. The state of New Hampshire has approximately 2 million people it it. Connecticut: 4, Maine: 2, Vermont: 1, Rhode Island: 1. Therefore the entire population of New England is approximately 17 million people. That is less than half than the number of abortions preformed since 1973. Let’s go further! New York has 20 million people in it and Pennsylvania has approximately 13. That gives us our total of 50 million, and all of those numbers are rounded up. All those states combined cover around 41 million acres! If those facts do not make you sad, I do not know what will.
I want to be clear that this speech was not written to convince you that abortion is murder. I would hope that all the people I am addressing would believe that, being Christians. God’s word clearly forbids us to kill and there really is no difference between a baby inside or outside of their mother’s womb.

Moving on, I want to state what I think needs to be done about this epidemic. Is slavery legal? No! Why isn’t it? Because it was so morally wrong that it ended up dividing our nation and causing the most destructive war in its history up to that point. All Americans today believe it is wrong, but that’s not how it was just 200 years ago! In the 19th century, slavery was seen as a common thing, and until just this past century, blacks were not on an equal status with whites. We can clearly see that the Bible condemns such treatment of our fellow human beings. Yet, 200 years ago the people who opposed slavery were considered radicals. The word “abolition” was like a bad word. People got killed, and lots of them, before blacks could be as they are today.
What am I getting at? Abortion is something that is not only morally wrong, but it is Biblically wrong. It needs to be stopped, preferably not with a war. We need to be radical abolitionists for the children. It may seem like there are plenty of people working in this ministry, but all the Christians in America would not be enough. We need to band together and stand in front of abortion clinics, pleading with mothers not to kill their children. We need to be willing to open up our homes to the girls that have no where to go unless they kill their child. We need to beg our government to make this injustice illegal. We need to convince the general public that this thing is unconstitutional, immoral, and unbiblical. We need to truly care about the millions of children being murdered every year if we dare to call ourselves Christians.
Praise the Lord that there already are courageous men and women standing in front of these clinics as well as drafting petitions. My family has recently be come a part of this growing ministry and are grieved to see how few Christians believe what we are doing is right. Most abortion clinics have many churches within 10 miles of them, yet the pastors of these churches cannot be bothered to stand with us. Many claim that it is not their calling, but it seems that they are just uncomfortable with what persecution they may face. I can assure you from personal experience that you will face persecution! Didn’t Paul rejoice over persecution? Should we not also?
My question today is, “Where are you, church?” Do you not see the holocaust that is happening in your backyard? The only difference between this and what happened in Nazi Germany is that you can do something about it! You may not see the problem with letting it continue, but if you googled an abortion, watched a video of it, and did not feel absolutely sick, I would question your humanity!

In the end, I want to encourage you to make a sign, purchase some tracts, and go stand in front of a Planned Parenthood. Try and persuade every girl who is going in to stop. Shout the truth and pray for those who deny that life begins at conception. This is a monstrosity and needs to be stopped by the Church. Today!
