While listening to David Platt, Pastor of Brook Hills in Birmingham Alabama, on Abortion. He told a story of a little girl named Rachel who was born 24 weeks premature. This is her story.
Rachel is 2 months old but she is still 6 weeks away from being a full term baby. She was born prematurely at 24 weeks in the middle of her mothers second trimester. On the day of her birth Rachel weighed 1 pound 9 ounces but dropped to just under a pound soon after, she was so small she could rest in the palm of her daddy's hand. She was a tiny living human person.
Heroic measures were taken to save this child's life. Why? Because, we have a obligation to protect, to nurture, and care for other humans who would die without our help, especially little children. Rachel was a vulnerable and valuable human being.
But get this, if a doctor came into the hospital room and instead of caring for little Rachel, took the life of this little girl as she lay quietly nursing at her mothers breast. That would be homicide. however if this same little girl this very same Rachel had been inches away resting in her mothers womb she could be legally killed by abortion. That makes no sense. That is utterly ludicrous.
I totally recommend listening to the rest of this sermon called "The Child Yet Unborn"
