“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” ~ Matthew 6:21 NIV
Nothing says “Thinking of You” like a gift of abortion pills! Yes, you read that right. I saw this “article” before Christmas and almost wrote about it right then but decided against it. Why put a damper on one of the most beautiful, peaceful, and enjoyable times of the year!
Well, I still felt I needed to share it with you. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a beautifully wrapped box of abortion pills. Sound crazy? It is. This was a headline I came across on Social Media from a group called Shout Your Abortion. The headline was literally, “Give the gift of abortion pills”, all tied up in pretty boxes. And it made me pause. What an utterly terrible “gift” to give. The deadly ability to slaughter another human being, your own child no less. How much more barbaric can it get?
When I think of Christmas gift ideas for my beautiful daughters, it’s such a joyous time for me. Looking around and searching for those small gifts I know she’ll love and laugh about. She’ll know the person who gave it to her knows her, sees her, listens to her when she speaks her heart and about what she enjoys, what makes her laugh. She’ll know she is cherished. Those are the gifts I long to give my daughters.
So when I saw this article suggesting such a thing as a supply of the abortion pill be lifted up as a gift for a loved one it made me a tad nauseous.
My daughters are my treasures, who I protect and celebrate and lavish love upon. They are where my heart lies. I want only good for them as I’m sure all parents pray for their children. I want to give them gifts that uplift them and bring them happiness.
Anyone who would believe that a gift of abortion pills would cause anything other than destruction, isolation, and death is as lost and in need of mercy as those celebrating and “shouting their abortions”.
Next Step has the fierce heart, the team, the training, and the resources to be such a beacon of hope to those lost individuals. Thanks be to God – and you!
