Convenient Baby Killing vs. Saving Babies For Gods Glory - Culture of Death

Chiquie Estrada and her son Rafa Estrada to talk about the subject of abortion. Chiquie gives a powerful testimony concerning her own experience in having two abortions while facing the question of having a third abortion. Rafa, who was saved from abortion by his mother, gives his perspectives concerning this critical issue. Abortion is a life or death choice of the mother concerning her own unborn child. Abortion is the choice between committing the murder of a child or of saving the life of the child to the glory of God.

The Bible is clear about the fact that murder is wrong (Exodus 20:13). However, in some cases, the Bible does not forbid killing. Soldiers representing their country were expected to kill soldiers on the opposing side (Joshua 11:20). That is not murder. Animals were killed for food and for sacrifice (Exodus 24:5; Genesis 9:3–4). That is not murder either.

Murder is defined as “the unlawful, premeditated killing of one human being by another.” Murder is unlawful killing—that is, killing that is done by the judgment of one human being against another, for personal (rather than national) reasons. The Bible condemns murder repeatedly as a characteristic of a wicked society (Deuteronomy 5:17; Isaiah 1:21; Hosea 4:2; Matthew 5:21). Determining whether or not abortion is murder involves two considerations: first, whether or not a fetus in utero is actually a human being, and, second, if a fetus is a child, whether or not abortion can be rightly called murder since it is legal in most countries. If murder is unlawful killing, it would follow that a lawful killing would not be murder.
