Most Americans are familiar with the idiom, “Damascus road experience” even if they haven’t read about Saint Paul’s conversion in the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament. But I had completely missed his retelling of that in the first chapter of Galatians. Perhaps it is the translation.
“But when he [God] who FROM MY MOTHER’S WOMB* HAD SET ME APART and called me through his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me . . . “ Do you really think “from” excludes “inside?”
In evaluating the policies and philosophies of the candidates, I put life issues first, as does one of our founding documents, “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Just a few years ago there was only one U.S. politician who would go on record as against the born-alive infant protection act—Barack Obama (as Illinois state senator) and he was left of NARAL, which is hard to do. Now his entire party of sheeples has followed his lead.
Joe Biden, who may have once been pro-life, has gone against his church, his savior, the founding documents, and his own conscience. And Donald Trump, like Saint Paul, who may once have been pro-choice (with no vote in Congress) but is now pro-life, is the one chosen by God from the womb to save babies.
Late term abortions are indeed rare, as my pro-choice friends remind me—maybe 1.3% of all abortions. “Only” 5,000-10,000 a year. In Ohio that’s 106 and in New York that’s 1590.** How many are the proper number for you?
*NIV translated the passage as “from birth,” with “from my mother’s womb” another translation.
