Last night I was listening to a speech from Gordon Brown, the leader of the Labour party who is campaigning for re-election. He spoke about fairness for all, something that resonates with me.
However Joy had our twenty weeks scan yesterday, we didn't get a twenty week scan with Hannah so it was just an amazing experience. At twenty weeks the baby is moving around, fully formed in miniature, we could see their face, ten little fingers and toes it was a real opportunity to see the creator's handiwork. Psalm 139:13 says 'For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb' What occupies the womb is a little life, someone created by God, in his image and that is something that carries an enormous amount of dignity. In the UK election no-one is speaking up for the unborn, all three leaders of the main parties abstained or voted against the bill to lower abortions from 24 weeks to 20. With technological advances it is clear to see that a life occupies the womb as the Bible says and so a termination is a termination of someone who is fearfully and wonderfully made, someone created by God for His glory. If governments are going to speak about defending the weak and the vulnerable they should start with those who occupy the womb. Fairness for all should include those who are yet to be born but are already experiencing life, life in their mother's womb.
Shalom
