Now, before I read our text,
I want to point out two verses in chapter 1 of Exodus. There
came a great change in the fortunes of Israel at this particular
time in history. And if you look at chapter 1
and verse 6, you have the first one. And Joseph died and all
his brethren and all that generation. Then look down, if you would,
at verse 8. Now there arose up a new king
over Egypt which knew not Joseph. Now that's important, we'll mention
it later. All right, look at verse 15 through
verse 22, as we have the first record in the scripture of infanticide
or abortion, if you want to call it that. And the king of Egypt
spoke to the Hebrew midwives. That was the ladies that attended
the mothers-to-be as they came to birth. The king of Egypt spoke
unto the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was
Shiphrah and the name of the other was Puah. And he said,
when you do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women and see them
upon the stools, If it be a son, then thou shalt kill him. But if it be a daughter, then
she shall live. But the midwives feared God and
did not, as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the
men children alive. And the king of Egypt called
for the midwives and said unto them, Why have you done this
thing and have saved the men children alive? And the midwives
said unto Pharaoh, because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian
women, for they are lively and they are delivered ere the midwives
come in unto them. That was a lie, wasn't it? Therefore,
God dwelt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied, and
they waxed very mighty. And it came to pass, because
the midwives feared God, that he made them houses, and Pharaoh
charged all the people, saying, every son that is born ye shall
cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive. At birth, kill them. Those that
were lived to be toddlers or whatever, throw them in the river
unto their dead. Now, as I said, this might seem
it is rather a strange passage to serve as a text on the subject
of abortion. And as those in the text were
not strictly speaking aborted, post-birth aborted as we know
it in our day. Born alive, born well, no deformity,
no illness, no disease, nothing at all. No threat to the life,
no threat to the health of the mother or to the baby whatsoever. Now the word abortion, as we
know it, actually means the termination of a child before they are naturally
born into the world. As we hear it now in our day,
full term, absolute full term. Now abortion might occur in one
of two ways as we look at it in reality. Number one, it might
be deliberate. It might be a premeditated act
that is performed and causing harm unto the child or the baby,
even it might be accidental, that it might cause the loss
of one in the womb, causing death to that child. As an example
of an accident, you have that very clearly later in the book
of Exodus, chapter 21, verse 22 through 25. When two men might
be struggling or in a fight or a tussle together
and a woman with child who is in the middle of that is injured
in some way so that as it said her fruit depart from her. She goes into labor and delivers
perhaps her child. Now, it might be alive and well,
or it might be stillborn. It could be either one of the
cases. But the man who was at fault
and who caused that was liable and subject under punishment
according to the severity of the case and the injury that
had been inflicted by his tussling. Secondly, there might be a spontaneous
expulsion of the human fetus, usually about 20 weeks into the
gestation period or before. This is usually called, however,
a miscarriage caused by perhaps several conditions. It might
have been some disease in the woman or the baby that caused
it. An infection, I read, can sometimes
cause that. Some deformity, perhaps, in the
child so that it goes into an abortion. But many women have
had this experience and usually before the 20th week of their
germination period. However, the case here in the
book of Exodus that we are using was before or rather after they
were born and well and healthy and it was nothing less than
infanticide, the killing of one born because not desired for
one reason or another. It was the deliberate and legal,
because the king ordered it, of one who had already been born
and would have been all right and grown into a normal being. Now, consider in exodus, therefore,
before we consider the present day and abortion as it is in
our society. First, what was the state interest
in this edict to all of those abortion? What led the king to
such a barbaric edict on his part? such an action to be imposed
upon a certain class of Jewish people, not the Egyptian, but
in Israel or the Jews only, and not on both genders. but only upon the male, boy-baby,
a man-child born to an Israelite woman. Now those two things that
I mentioned earlier in the chapter, Joseph is dead and gone, and
his influence has been lost toward his brethren, his family, his
people and nation. And a new king now is upon the
throne who knew not Joseph. He did not honor the arrangement
in the book of Genesis that Joseph had made with Pharaoh for the
good and the blessing of Joseph's people. They were his kinsmen. They were under his wing. It
was for Joseph's sake that they found a safe haven in the land
of Egypt. But now he is gone and all of
that generation has passed away. And then B, you notice in verse
9 and in verse 10, the increase of the Jews in Egypt was a threat,
the king thought, to the national security of the land, especially
the men child that were being born. And the fear was that they
would increase so, and there'd be so many men of strength and
a fighting age, that if a war broke out and an enemy invaded,
that the Jews would fall out on the side of the enemy of Egypt
rather than on Egypt itself. So the king imposed upon the
men of Egypt, the Jewish men, a drastic measure. And you have
it in verse 11 through verse 14, sending them to very hard
labor, back-breaking labor, toil beyond measure, even that might
ruin their health, and perhaps to keep them from coming even
at their wife. But the more they were oppressed,
the more they multiplied, the scripture tells us. And then
we see in verse 15 through verse 22, the king sent forth a double
edict in regard to the Jewish male children that were born. Number one, in verse 15 through
verse 21, the midwives, as we read, were to kill all of the
Jewish male children that were born in their houses and upon
their birthing stool. And if they delivered a male
child, the king gave word that they should be killed. They should be put unto death. They should be murdered. The
new life snuffed out just because they were male and for no other
reason. Now, this was cold-blooded infanticide
on the part of the king. This is as barbaric as it might
get in any society. You can see the same thing with
King Herod in the New Testament, in the book of Matthew, chapter
2, verse 13 through 16, when he sent out a decree that all
male Jewish children up to two years of age were to be put to
death. That would cover the birth of
the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah. But again, it is infanticide. Again, it is male babies that
are the target of King Herod. Now, secondly, in Exodus chapter
1, 18 through 22, and especially in verse 22, the male children,
which had been spared by the Jewish midwife, were to be cast
into the river. By this time, perhaps they're
crawling and toddling around, but found out to have been spared. They too were to be tossed into
the river. And Pharaoh gave orders, called
them in, why have you done this? And they said, well, you know,
the Jewish women are a lot stouter. They can have children easier
than your Egyptian women. And most of the time, they've
already delivered before we ever see them. But Pharaoh said they
were to be thrown into the river. Who would not think that this
is a cruel, heartless, Consciousness acts on anyone that orders it,
does it, or supports it. Who could hear of such a thing
without indignation, to mass murder the most vulnerable of
any particular society, the weak and the innocent, to be treated
in such a way? to count them expendable, and
consider that it is good for the country and for the welfare
of the country to place so little value upon human life. What a heathenist practice all
over the world as we're seeing it in our day. Now, the midwife
resisted that practice, number one, because they feared God,
and number two, because they put a value upon human life. Chapter 1 and verse 17, for the
king's edict violated the sanctity of life. Life is a gift of God. God gives life and breath and
all things to those who would therefore slaughter deliberately
the innocent. We can indeed say, there is no
fear of God before their eyes. So the midwives, in how they
acted to defy the king, were moved by the fear of God, disobeyed
the king, let the baby boys live, for as Acts chapter 5 and verse
29, we must obey God rather than men, said Peter under the council
when they disobeyed the orders of the council. So let's take
another passage out of Jewish laws found in Exodus 21 22 through 25. I mentioned it. When a woman with child was injured
and it caused her to go into labor, and to deliver her baby
early, her fruit depart, as it is said, for Psalm 127 and verse
3, children are the fruit of the womb. And if no further mischief,
however, follow in Exodus chapter 21, the one who injured her is
responsible for the mischief to follow. For example, if the
baby dies, or if the woman dies from the injuries that were sustained,
the one who injured her was therefore subject under punishment. The
point here is, I think, legal standing and protection for even
the unborn. That they have personhood. that
they are indeed a person so that one could be liable for causing
harm either to the pregnant woman or to the child that was injured
in the fracas. And by the way, there have been
cases even today when in our society Someone committed a murder. They killed a woman, a woman
with child. And they were charged with double
murder because of that, the murder of the mother and the murder
of the child, whether of a wife or a girlfriend, even a stranger,
and charged with two murders, the woman and the baby. Now,
this is especially important from the Bible and the Christian
standpoint that the unborn scripturally is considered a person and causing
its death or harm by abortion or miscarriage, even accidentally,
made one subject to a civil penalty for their, quote, mischief. This was part of the law that
was given to Israel called a mischief to so injure one with child. Scripture teaches us that God
is mindful of his people even before they are born, even before
they have come unto years, from the very beginning. I'd like
to read a passage from Psalm 100. And 39, whether you turn
there or not is up to you. But Psalm 139, and we read verse
13 through verse 16. And if this is not personhood,
tell me what is. Verse 13, the Psalmist writes,
for thou possessed my reign. Thou has covered me in my mother's
womb. I will praise thee, for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are thy works, and
that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from
thee. when I was made in secret and
curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eye
did see my substance, yet being unperfect, and in thy book all
my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned,
when as yet there was none of them." Now, the last part of
verse 16. My days were determined before
any of them ever were. And there is the case again of
Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 4 and verse 5 of the prophet Jeremiah. And it says this, Before I formed
you in the womb, I knew you. Before you came forth out of
the womb, I knew you, and I set you apart as a prophet unto the
nation. Before he was ever born, God
had fixed his purpose upon Jeremiah to be a prophet of God unto the
nation. Before he was born, or saw the
light of day, or grew up to manhood, God had designed him to be a
prophet. I think Paul says much the same
thing in Galatians 1, 15, and 16. Who separated me, he said,
from my mother's womb, call me by his grace that I might preach
him among the heathen. So here is the truth of scripture
that God knows and that God loves or God hates. God elects And
God reprobate. God ordains to eternal life certain
ones before they are born or have seen the light of day. In
fact, before they have ever been conceived in the womb. And that
was before the world from eternity, as we read in Ephesians chapter
1, verse 3 and 4 and verse 5. The point here being, that God
beholds and knows all, everyone, none without exception. He takes
note of us. The psalmist said he takes a
hand in forming us, even from conception to the day of birth,
and of course, even beyond that. But the conception and the development
of a child is a thing that God sees and oversees, but it is
a thing that we cannot know or understand. It is something beyond
our comprehension. Remember what Solomon wrote?
In Ecclesiastes chapter 11 and verse 5, you know not what the
way of the spirit nor how the bones do grow in the womb of
her that is with child, and you know not the ways of God. Now call back something that
David wrote in the 139th Psalm, that his substance was, quote,
curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth," unquote. That is, on the earth, in the
womb of his mother. He also mentions, my reigns thou
didst know or take Now, there are some very interesting words
and phrases here describing the formation of the human being
and the human frame before it comes to the day of birth. There's the word substance. There's
the word reigns, made in secret, curiously wrought. Now consider
all of those words that David used to describe that God knew
him and was watching him and saw him even in that prenatal
state or condition. Spurgeon wrote in his commentary
on the 139th Psalm these words. chastely and beautifully described
the formation of our being before we came to the time of birth,"
unquote. Substance is by some the frame,
the body, and the bone. Now, the word reins, R-E-I-N-S,
as we see it in the Old Testament, sometimes has the meaning of
kidneys, that is, the inward part or being of one, curiously
wrought. is a very picturesque set of
words. It means one who, with great
skill, weaves, embroideries, or fashions something, like it
was in the tabernacle, as it was curiously wrought for the
tabernacle. A tapestry of some kind that
is beautiful and that has great mystery about it. Variegated
material and colors might be weaving into it. What a production,
therefore, David is saying, is the human frame, the human body,
and the human being. They're the bones, they're the
vein, the nerves, the organ, the sinews, and all of those
things that go in to make up the body. All of that, mind you,
from something that in its beginning is too small even to behold with
the human eye. There are lungs to breathe, bones
for a frame and the stability of the body, skillfully designed
by the creator, even God. An old Puritan, Thomas Manton,
wrote on that psalm, quote, every part is so placed and framed
as if God had employed his whole wisdom about it, unquote. That God's hand. is fashioning
and is forming that in the womb. The bones do grow, the skeletal
frame. Now is that not something that
bones come out of this which is not a bone in it to begin
with? The bones do grow. They form
the skeletal frame of the body. To be certain, the conception
and the formation of a human body in the womb is one of the
great mysteries and one of the great wonders that we might ponder. I might liken it unto that work
of regeneration. It is beyond our observing it. beyond our understanding, a mysterious
and a great work of God. However, the mystery does not
end with the formation of the human frame or the body, but
there is also the union in some inscrutable way, of the body
and of the spirit or of the soul? What a mystery and past-hour
finding out. Remember that verse in Ecclesiastes
11 and verse 5? Take a look at it again and the
references in that verse to the way of the spirit. Now think about that. The way
of the spirit. You know not the way of the spirit. You know not how the bones do
grow in the womb of her that is with child. In fact, you know
not of all the ways of God. Well, there are some expositors,
I find out in reading as many as I could, who think that the
spirit there in Ecclesiastes 11 and verse 5 has reference
to the human spirit or the human soul. rather than to the literal
wind or even the Holy Spirit. There is a question that puzzles
everyone that has ever considered it, and that is, how and when
does the union of the soul and of the body occur? How and when
does that most blessed union occur? Is it at conception? Is it at the first stirrings
about of the child in the womb? Is it not until birth or first
breathing? Well, God knoweth. We cannot phantom the depth of
that. So when there is a union of the
immaterial and the material spirit within a corporal and a physical
body. That's beyond our understanding. John Henry Newman, an old-time
writer, was absorbed with such thoughts as, how is it joined
to the body? What keeps it there so that it
takes not its leave until the hour or the time of death? How do they touch? and come together,
how do they stay together? Well, God knoweth. With Adam,
we're told both were creative acts of God. God formed the body
of Adam out of the dust or the dirt of the earth, and then breathed
into Adam the breath of life. And Adam, the scripture said,
became a living soul, Genesis 2 and verse 7. But we are not
in that manner created. We are procreated and not directly
created. We are propagated through natural
generation. Still, we are body and we are
spirit. And concerning the spirit, it
seems it must be one of two ways that God makes the union. Either it is created by God directly
and then fused into the body at his time and being, or it
is produced through natural generation and the father and the mother. But suffice it to say, people
consist both of body and of soul. Now, I confess I have spoken
at length upon this because in abortion, in the issue of abortion. Do both come into play? Should both be considered in
abortion? The body, yes, but also the spirit. Now we know that the body is
killed and destroyed in the act of modern-day abortion. But is
there also in play at that time a human soul that is present
and is involved? Now, let's talk about abortion
as it is in our day and time. As you no doubt already know
from the history of it, the Supreme Court of the United States of
America in 1973 took a challenge on the issue of abortion from
a woman named Norman McCorvey. And this lady was in Texas. And the case, therefore, went
up from Texas. And the Supreme Court overturned
all laws against abortion and made it legal in all of the country. And you know what they did? They
found in the Constitution the phrase, the right to privacy. And they invented that as a justification
for, abortion, that clause they used to make their ruling. And
the ruling was seven to two for their nine on the Supreme Court,
as we know. Roe was a pseudonym, Roe versus
Wade. Roe was a pseudonym for the woman,
Norma McCorvey. And Wade was the district attorney
who fought the case and stood for the law of the state. And the ruling overturned the
laws of states which had made abortion illegal and established
a right to what is essentially known as abortion on demand. And since that ruling, 1973,
estimates are just estimates, but there are estimates that
63 million have been aborted just in the
United States of America alone. 30,000 a day that would come
out to in the USA, not counting the rest of the world. Now they
never call it what it is, infanticide, murder, killing. You don't ever
hear those words. the slaughter of innocents. You
don't ever hear them use those terms, but it is the other holocaust,
if you will. Instead they give it respectable
sounding names that people might not really understand the extent
of it. A woman's right to choose. You hear that most often today.
A woman's right to choose. What is this? This is a woman's
right to choose. Instead, they give it names like
pro-choice, women's reproductive health. Because, you see, pro-choice
means one choice. that is available is to end the
life of that living, developing, growing fetus in the womb, that
is, a baby. And you know, they often don't
call it a baby either. It's a fetus or it's a mass of
tissue and you'll find that. And at first some arguments were
made such as, well, we can't really know when it is a person. I had a lady, a chronicle writer,
we argued back and forth a while. She had a child, I took her to
issue on abortion, and she essentially wrote back and said, we don't
know at what point it becomes a baby. And I wrote back, does
it ever become anything else but a baby? And so they say,
when does life begin? When does it go from being just
a mass of tissue to actually being a, quote, potential child,
unquote. Or as newspaper wrote, clusters
of cells that have not developed into viable human beings as yet,
unquote. Now part of the rationale seems
to be Abort early, while it is not yet fully developed or while
it is not yet viable, as if that would be less offensive to the
people and the citizens. So do it before it's a person,
seems to be the attitude of some of them. But then abortions were
done later and later. And later, until now, it is up
to the time of birth and completely removed out of the mother's womb
before being put to death. Now, in the process of being
born, killed by the doctor. Have you heard the news lately,
and it is lately, in the last month or so, just recently, to
compare the law now to that of Pharaoh in Exodus chapter 1,
to kill baby boys as soon as they were born. And Herod carried
it up to two years. that he might have the one promised
to be Messiah. Now, three states, yea, actually
four, have made new laws lately and updates on their abortion
law that would abolish almost every restriction on abortion
right up until the time of birth. I'll mention Rhode Island, a
Catholic Democratic woman governor. There is New York, and there
is Virginia. Again, a Democrat governor in
Virginia, right up until the time of death. A proposed law
in Vermont says this, and I quote, a fertilized egg, embryo, or
fetus shall have no individual rights under Vermont law," unquote. No rights whatsoever. And adds
that none can be prosecuted in their state for doing abortion. Now, the New York law denies
personhood to the unborn now. The proposed Virginia law would
have allowed a baby to be born quote, made comfortable, unquote,
laid aside, and then the doctor and the mother have a discussion
about whether to let it live or not. That is the Virginia
law. And I don't think it passed,
but I heard the sound bite of the governor. He said this, Excellency,
what will happen to the baby they had? Well, born, it would
be made comfortable. It would be clean. Any needs
would be met. And then the mother and the doctor
would have a discussion about whether it would live or not
live. And I found out that governor
took $2 million in campaign contribution from planned barrenhood, as I
like to call them. Isn't that sporty? To make it
comfortable, clean it up, and then say, well, don't believe
I want it after all, and therefore put it unto dead. You ought to
be very afraid of any kind of government that passes laws like
unto this. When the New York law passed,
there was a standing ovation in the chambers of government. Everybody stood and they applauded
and they chipped, they clapped and they cheered, they rejoiced.
Celebrating abortion is legal under birth for until then you
are not recognized as a person. Infanticide is legal in New York. Happy times are Or here again,
abortion is legal even up unto birth. The more kill, the more
we might save the planet, is the attitude of some of these
butchers. Now to show the callousness,
And the hypocrisy of these people, if you did this to a dog or to
a cat, you would be arrested for animal cruelty, I guarantee
you. If you took a new litter of puppies
and knocked them in the head, as we used to do in the country,
you would be arrested nowadays and sent to jail for animal abuse
and cruelty. Did you know that it is illegal
to kill or destroy a bald eagle while in its shell? It is illegal. It is a protected species and
it is illegal to kill or destroy that developing eagle in that
shell. But it is legal to kill a developing
child or baby while it is yet in the womb. Now how do we know
when that eagle becomes an eagle? Maybe it's just a mass of feathers
and claws and beaks up to a time that is hatched out of the egg. Now did you know that many who
oppose medical research on animals, monkeys, rabbits, and rats They
say they feel pain, that they might find cure for certain diseases. They oppose that, but they support
abortion. And I want to tell you that infant
feels pain as well. It is known. So how shall we
argue against abortion in our day? For it is very clear, is
it not, that such as support abortion do not care what the
Bible has to say. They don't care. And something
else, they don't care what the Constitution has to say about
life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness. They just want
to justify abortion in any way. But I want to become or look
at it from the scientific and the medical standpoint this morning,
if you would. True science and true medical
evidence prove that from conception, yes, from conception, there is
this new life. and that that new life is a new
entity, that it is exclusively human, it is nothing else, and
never is it any other species, only human, only always will
be human, after that law in Genesis, each after their own kind. I did some research, and I learned
that the conception time of the sperm and the egg is called the
zygote, which is Greek for yoke or coupled together. It literally
means a coupling or a yoking together, which is the earliest
phase in the development of this new human being that will come
into the world, which barring any kind of disease or particular
accident or miscarriage or injury or abortion, will always and
ever develop into a baby, be born, grow up, live its life,
and pass the time and die. Now this zygote is composed of,
get this, human DNA. This zygote has in it human DNA
and human molecules. We don't know, they say, at what
point the mass of tissue becomes a baby or a person, and yet this
zygote is the result of a female human egg and a male human seed
coming together and fertilizing to start the new life and the
new child. From that union or fusion, Two
reproductive human cells form the zygote, which is undeniably
a human having not only DNA, human DNA, but also having human
molecule. It is a unique and mysterious
union artwork of almighty God. And you know something, at that
time, at conception, at the union, the yoke or the coupling that
we spoke about, a unique genetic composition is already set in
that individual, in that person, in that baby, which will determine
any diseases that that person might be subject to, personality
traits, character traits are set in that first union at that
time, their subject. Even the color of the eye, the
color of the hair is set when that occurs and all during the
formation of it, when that genetic code is set there and is inalterable. Here is a quote from an article
which I read, quote, It is also quite clear that the earliest
human embryo is biologically alive. It fulfills the four criteria
needed to establish biological life, growth, and four, three
other things, unquote. It begins immediately to grow
and to develop. Immediately, there begins growth. For example, at 22 days after
conception, the cardiac vascular system is functioning. The heart
is beginning to circulate the blood. By six weeks, the eyes,
the nose, The mouth and the tongue are formed in that individual. At 7 weeks, brain activity can
be detected. At 10 weeks, it can move. The
ultrasound video at 20 weeks can see the activity of the child
there in its very small house. You can see it yawning. You can
see it sucking its thumb. It can get the hiccups while
it is yet there in the womb. And there have even been occasion
when they have been operated on while yet in the womb and
some malfunction fixed left in the womb and carried to term.
Operation have been done in the womb. I'll never forget that
picture of that little baby holding the doctor's finger, the baby
in the womb, circulated widely 20 years or so ago. So let's make some closing arguments
here. The abortion controversy is framed
around, this is a point I want you to get, the abortion controversy
is framed around, quote, women's reproductive health rights,"
unquote, a woman's right to choose. Keeping abortion safe and legal
is what we hear. If you oppose abortion, you're
said to be against women's rights. You're said to be making a war
on women. You want them to die, and you
hear such things as that. Now, this is a point I wanted
to make. Logic will tell us, will it not, that about one half
of all abortions are of female children or babies. Is that not
true? Logic would tell us that. Have
we forgotten it? Logic would tell us that about
one half of all abortions are girl babies. Potential women,
if you please. who were not given a choice,
not at all. They did not have a choice and
never will. They were turned into medical
waste and sent away. And about half of them were women. Casualty of the abortion war. So it's not just about women. True, they have the babies. It's
about abortion. And don't you ever forget it.
Now, the advocates of abortion justify it by three points. One,
the health and life of the mother. Two, occasions of rape. And three, occasions of incest. Polls and surveys show about
7% of all abortions are for health reasons, the mother or the baby. 1% are left are for rape and
incest, which means that 92% of abortions are simply by choice,
a healthy woman and a healthy baby involved, neither of which
would be harmed or die by the natural birth. Another argument
is we don't want a child to be born into this whole world and
be abused or be neglected or be an unloved or be a victim
of a nuclear war. We don't want that to happen
to any child. What's their solution? We'll
kill it to keep it from being subjected to things like that.
We'll kill it now so it won't be abused. Cats and dogs have
more protection than children and human babies do in our society. You know, I read further. I found
some quotes from some of the old-time she-coon women libbers
admitting that it is a child and that it is a death. And some of the leaders of old
have written that. And one of the most famous abortion
doctors, one of the most prolific, finally confessed, we lied about
the number of women who died from illegal abortion. We lied
about it. We put a number out, people accepted
it. So listen, abortion is barbaric
and pagan. May I say a word? Blessed is
the woman who has loaned her body to bear children into this
world, has experienced the caring and the giving birth of another
actual human being, who has gone through the stages and who has
gone through the miscomforts of motherhood in order that she
might give life. Blessing upon all of those. Now, I want to say this in closing.
Mark it down, if you will. A society that will abort the
weak and innocent, the unborn, and even the born will ultimately
