Do Not Kill the Innocent

 

I’m Duane Matz and welcome to Today’s Living Word.

 

Ex 23:7 "Keep yourself far from a false matter; do not kill the innocent and righteous. For I will not justify the wicked.

 

“Do not kill the innocent.” Can it be any plainer than that? This command from God is at the heart of the right to life issue. Do you want to win me over to the pro choice camp? Then name the crime of the unborn child!

 

Did the unborn child rape? Did the unborn child commit incest? Was a crime committed in the first six weeks of the unborn’s life, but after 6 weeks he or she is deemed innocent and suddenly worthy of protection? Is being inconvenient a crime worthy of capital punishment?

 

Make no mistake about it, this matter will be the number one issue in this year’s election. One party unashamedly in favor of making the killing of an innocent unborn child legal, the other clamoring to soften up abortion restrictions by making all kinds of exceptions.

 

Both parties missing the point for the sake of political expediency, and forgetting what God plainly says about life. “Do not kill the innocent.”

 

Personally, I’m tired of voting for political expediency or the lesser of two evils. This year, I’m looking for candidates who really understand the innocence of the unborn child from conception on.

 

They may not be electable considering the current public opinion, but at least I can leave the voting booth with a clear conscience.
