New Pro-Choice rhetoric demands new Pro-Life perspective

Very interesting perspective. The "pro-choice" group is starting to refer more and more often to unborn children as 'alive,' but that verbal-cognitive acquiescence hasn't changed their heart-behavior advocacy of abortion.

This illustrates something that is true about many of the left's regressive, miserly, anti-human arguments: they are COMPLETELY emotion-based. Their stances don't start with facts and work toward policy, they start with whim, then they find "facts" to support them. If facts arise that negate the legitimacy of their foundation arguments, they just make up new facts and keep doing the same.

A real life hydra.

Facts, reality, expert argumentation — these are not the tools needed to fight the Left's dehumanizing, regressive agenda. Something has got to change in the heart. What's needed is conversion to Christ and access to the power and clarity of HIS heart.

What's needed is a complete world-view overhaul.

That said, what I'm writing here is NOT a vindication of the so-called conservative Right — that they have somehow been right all along and the Left needs to become clones of them.

Not by a long shot. The Right is, in many ways, similarly godless.

"What? All the praying, church-going, scripture-readers? All the 'God bless the USA'? All the defend life crew? The traditional marriage advocates?"

Yup.

Here's the clincher: campaigning for a few ideals that God espouses doth not a believer make.

What doth is a massive exodus to JESUS — not just the ideals that He taught. In absolute defiance of logic, our species' salvation is found in the PERSON of Jesus Christ — not just the life-skills that He taught. That is part of what is so wrong with the world today: we have taken parts of Christ's (and every other major god-figure of history) and distilled His person to a couple of quips that give license to do whatever we want.

Don't judge. Love your neighbour. Take care of the poor. Legislate change. Care for the earth.

Very nice.

Except, with the exception of loving your neighbour, he never said those things.

And even then, the problem of obsession with His message over devotion to His person remains.

Jesus did say that His followers would have life in Him, and have it more abundantly. But he predicated that life upon death: "Whosoever will save his [own] life will lose it. But whoever will lose his life for MY SAKE and the good news I bring will find it."

"To be My follower, you must deny yourself, and take up your cross, and follow Me."

Where? Follow Him where?

To Gethsemane and Calvary.

And from THERE, to life in Him.

In HIM.

Not in a few extracted principles that He taught.

Either He is the creator and life of the world, or He isn't. We need to get past the patronizing, "Oh, you can believe that if you want," and deal with whether or not we are going to live our lives in harmony with that great reality — that Jesus IS God. That He IS out there. That He DOES care about how our hearts are developing. That His intent for humanity is that we actually become HUMANE as He is.

What the Left wants us to believe is that we are not a rebellious, immoral people — that all this we debate is simply a matter of personal preference and civil friction. And that MAN is ultimately the measure of all things. That the happiness of a few at all costs is the goal of government. That a well-justified, well-defended, well-accepted lie is a lie permissible to live out.

The reality of God's existence does not change to suit our lust.
