Is murder allowed in the US? Most of you would answer no it is not, but I beg to differ. You have forgotten pregnant woman. They are legally allowed to murder unborn children until a certain phase of the pregnancy.
If you are thinking, the laws allow us to do this, then I say murder is legal in the US. Think about this, if I were to accidentally or even on purpose kill a pregnant lady, I would be charged with somewhere from manslaughter to first degree murder. It does not matter at what stage the pregnancy is, as soon as conception occurs I can be charged. How can I or anyone be charged with a crime of murder when a mother is allowed to abort the pregnancy until that magical phase of the pregnancy?
So why are woman allowed to murder their babies? Well that is a good question. To me it is all about not making people take responsibility for their actions. Think about, for the past 40 to 50 years, when a person goes before a judge to be held accountable, the lawyers use the way they were raised, drugs, alcohol, etc. to say it was not their fault. What is the judges typical response? To be a lenient as possible.
How is that working out for us? We have one of the largest prison populations in the world and it is growing.
All I have to say is that people had better wake up and take responsibility, because God will hold you accountable.
Romans 14:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
We are not perfect and God understands this, it does not mean He likes it and it does not mean were are allowed to act how we want.
Lord, please help us to take responsibility for our actions. Held us to realize when we commit a sin so that we can repent. Please help our nation wake up to realize that we are killing your children.
