Forbidden Sacrifices

“For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. For the one who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but if you murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty” (James 2:10-12).

When a baby is aborted, God’s wrath is kindled above,
For such is so abhorrent to our Lord who is Life and Love.
Hence His words, “You shall not murder,” and murder, abortion is,
Plus, those babies that are killed are not our babies, but just His.

As well, we all need to realize that each fertilized egg is,
A unique and distinct individual, a child that’s His.
Thus, we’ve no right to take their life, or answerable we'll be
To the Creator of this earth who rules universally.

We are told of the Canaanites, who, according to God’s Word,
Sacrificed babies to Molech and Baal, (whose screams God heard).
Thus, Christians are acting likewise when a baby they abort,
And thereby, with powers of darkness effectively consort.

When the unborn are not sacred in the eyes of humankind,
The retarded, disabled and aged are threatened, I here remind.
Some folk seem to show more concern for the creatures on this earth
Than they do for humans — made in God’s image — who’ve greater worth.

The devil hates godly seed, thus such he’s always sought to kill,
Therefore, abortion is a means by which some his wish fulfil.
For he’ll use any means he can, but isn’t it ironic,
That Christians are aiding Him by slaying the embryonic.

Yes, abortion is rebellion — it snubs God’s authority,
It’s simply foolish humans usurping God’s autonomy.
Yes, it’s demonic in nature, it’s demonic in outcome,
And it’s humanistic folly to which millions now succumb.

How many of these dear babies may well have turned out to be
A preacher, teacher, doctor, statesman -- yes, what a tragedy?
And how many of these babies a major role might have played,
If they had not been aborted because someone that choice made?

“There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that hurry to evil, a lying witness who testifies falsely, and one who sows discord in a family” (Prov 6:16-19).

“...do violence to no man…” (Luke 3:14, KJV).

"I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born."
