Are Babies EVER an Inconvenience? Mt 19

Expecting a baby - The Salty Scrivener

The Value of Children
(Born and Unborn)

Text. Matthew 19:13-15

What value do we place on tiny human life?

– The Jews of Jesus’ day had respect for the unborn and the newly born child, unlike the pagan nations that surrounded them. The penalty under the law of Moses for infanticide was death. Leviticus 20:2 Needless to say the Israelites were disobedient. Jeremiah 32:34-36 The penalty for the death of unborn children was just as severe. Exodus 21:22-24

– In Greek and Roman society, a much more ‘cultured and civilised place to be’ the murder of newly born children was considered barbaric and uncivilised, so a child would be exposed on a hillside or open place; it wasn’t considered murder, because who knew whether a passing stranger, or even a god might come along and adopt the child. The reality was that the baby would die of dehydration, or be eaten alive by animals.

– Our modern society has greatly conflicting attitudes about children. On the one hand we over-indulge our children. They are treated like little princes and princesses, yet on the other hand, life often seems cheap when it is still in the womb. According to the World Health Organisation, there are between 40 to 50 MILLION abortions every year. The majority of those abortions are not for babies with no life expectancy, or for the health of the mother, but because having a baby is INCONVENIENT. People want to sin without consequence for themselves. The human right to have unrestricted sex on demand outweighs the right to life of the babies that inevitably result from that behaviour.

57th Anniversary of Death of Racist, Eugenicist, Serial Adulteress, Pioneer of Birth Control, Founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger on September 6, 1966 (9/6/66)

From Steve Lefemine, Christians for Personhood : 'Eugenics and Planned Parenthood – Margaret Sanger' Forgotten History https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OP7ZzV4Z338 "The term eugenics is basically a set of beliefs and practices that aim to improve the genetic quality of a human population, historically by excluding people and groups judged to be inferior and promoting those judged to be superior. But the Germans did not invent eugenics. In fact they were inspired by the founder of the taxpayer funded Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger. The truth behind the genesis of that organization and its founder are much darker than most Americans realize. " Hosted by Colin D.
