Focus on the Family has a gripping two-part series interviewing Dr. Bernard Nathanson. As the former director of the world’s largest abortion clinic, Dr. Bernard Nathanson says he is responsible for the death of some 75,000 pre-born babies. In his two years at the clinic, he oversaw tens of thousands of abortions, and personally performed thousands more.  He stopped doing abortions after viewing an abortion through ultrasound.

The moral conscience of a society has been spotlighted by two great men. Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. both appealed for the moral consciousness of their time to arise in response to social injustice. Abraham Lincoln made the observation that slavery was a taboo subject in social circles. It was only spoken in whispers. He claimed this was because the moral conscience knew slavery was wrong, yet the people’s moral consciousness was overcome with fear. In similar ways, Martin Luther King Jr., wrote to Daisy Bates in Arkansas saying, “adhere rigorously to a way of non-violence for the moral conscience of millions of white Americans is with you.”

Many observations of popular culture make it seem the United States has lost a collective moral conscience. It is my prayer today, on Martin Luther King Jr. day, for the Lord to raise up someone who would help to once again awaken the moral conscience of this country to abolish the whispered tragedy of the unborn citizen. May time come to their side and allow them to breathe the air of freedom, hope and opportunity.

Tim Tebow became the first sophomore in the history of the NCAA to win the coveted Heisman Trophy as the best football player in the nation. Surprisingly, doctors recommended to his parents in 1987 that he should be aborted.

There are dozens of reasons why I think abortion should be stopped, this is just one more reason. Let God make the decisions, not us.

Life can be really tough. Jesus’ words are so powerful here, “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart, I have overcome the world.” Mars Hill Church, in Seattle, has produced a wonderful video series highlighting believers who over the last couple hundred years have clung to and lived in the light of the Savior in the midst of extreme suffering.
