And The Battle Goes On

"Eagles are protected 100%. They are protected in every way." - a wildlife rescue worker
That statement was made recently by a visitor during an event where I work. In comparison to the treatment of the unborn, it is ridiculous; animals are more protected than human beings. A law makes it illegal for a person to keep/take a feather from an Eagle, even if it be found on the ground, yet another law makes it allowable for a mother to murder the life of her unborn child. Eagles are beautiful creatures created by God, but they were not created in His Image and Likeness as humans were. It is logical to protect human life, but unfortunately, logic and common sense seem to have vanished from much of society today. I wonder how many government officials realize that they put more effort into saving a bird than they do the lives of the next generation.
Along similar lines, I am ready to go back to college and counsel in front of a certain abortion clinic on the weekend. It is quite ironic that this abortion clinic is literally down the street from the White House. While the President is in his home, unborn children are murdered nearby. I find that unsettling, and I do not even live near a clinic. While I am ready to go back to counseling those who come to the clinic, in a way, I wish it wasn't necessary. The unborn should be protected. For those that believe life begins at birth, it should make sense to them to protect the potential life in the womb. Pro-life sidewalk counselors are essentially trying to prevent a person from taking the life of another. In other words, trying to prevent a murder while at the same time maintaining a sense of understanding regarding the person's situation. It is a great joy when someone decides not to have an abortion, but to know that the person is definitely going to have the abortion or not knowing which decision has been made is a distress. In any case, prayers must be offered for the abortionists, those who come to the clinics, and those actively involved in the pro-life movement.
