![]() ![]() The first reason is this: God has ownership rights as Creator. And so as we examine David’s song of praise this morning, we will look at five specific reasons why we should affirm the sanctity of human life in the womb and seek to protect those children who are yet unborn. We should protect all human life in the womb, because every unborn child is a special creation of God. They apply to all human beings, at all times and in all places. But these words do not apply to David alone. In Psalm 139:13-16 David praises God as he reflects on God’s special role in David’s own creation even in his mother’s womb. Pro-life/pro-choice is not a political issue, it is a moral issue, and as Christians we have a moral imperative to stand up and speak up for the rights of the unborn. This morning, however, we will especially focus on the sanctity of human life as regards abortion and the unborn child. All of human life is sacred, and all human life should be equally valued and protected under the law. It is a day to reflect on the sacredness of human life not only in relation to the child in the womb, but also as regards the elderly, the weak and infirm, the mentally challenged, and those with physical limitations. “Sanctity of Human Life Day” actually affirms human life in many areas, not just in the area of abortion. ![]() ![]() Bush made a proclamation in which he called on all Americans to “reaffirm the value of human life and renew our dedication to ensuring that every American has access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” His proclamation continued: “Every child is a priority and a blessing, and I believe that all should be welcomed in life and protected by law.” You would think that all people everywhere would welcome a proclamation affirming the value of human life and the importance of children, but instead the President’s proclamation sparked masses of criticism from those who advocate abortion rights. In the year 2003 on the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that legalized abortion in the United States. January 22nd is the anniversary of Roe v. Since then, most presidents have celebrated this day each year on the Sunday closest to January 22nd. INTRODUCTION: Today is “National Sanctity of Human Life Day.” President Ronald Reagan declared the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day back in 1984.
