Much debate has occurred over time limitations for legal abortion. Some states have adopted a 15 week standard limitation.
Why is the 15 week limit on abortion so important?
Because it legally defines and affirms the Judeo- Christian Holy Scripture’s definition of “life”….When does “life” begin? Just look in the Book for the answer.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the life [which it represents].’
Leviticus 17:11 (AMP)
Life of the flesh is in the blood……
According to embryo development timelines, the liver begins making red blood cells in the 11th to 14th weeks of gestation. When the blood cells are formed and begin circulating in the embryo, there is “life” for the body according to Leviticus….
Although that life will not be fully autonomous until the fetus is delivered, the umbilical cord is cut, and the full circulatory system, including heart and lungs, take over the full task of oxygenation of the entire physical being.
Until delivery, it is the mother’s breath, the mother’s very physical body, soul and spirit that sustains “life support” for the child. It is her will and spirit, under authority of God’s will and Spirit, that bring this child, this product of conception, into its first state of being……body, soul, and spirit ….. of the “flesh” into the physical realm.
The inspiration of the first breath to the lungs upon delivery, whatever the gestational age, gives this new human spirit its opportunity at unique separate life, as it is now an autonomous human being, though still very dependent on the mother’s nurture.
To make the choice to terminate fetal life at the 15th week (roughly 4 months) and beyond is to choose to end “life”, taking
the fetus off life support, in effect, and is tantamount to murder. To do so is to usurp God’s will and authority and shun God’s Spirit….. for the fetus and one’s self.
God promises to “preserve the life”, lifting the curse on womankind for its role in humankind’s “original sin”, if one honors God’s will and Spirit through sacrificing her own self-serving interest, giving preference to life’s protection and support to give her child life.
1 Timothy 2:15
“But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.”
It gives deeper meaning to Christ’s words:
13 Greater love has no one than this, that a person will lay down his ( or her) life for another.”
John 15:13 –
This is the love God in Christ Jesus has for us and the love that a Good Parent has for a child….. it is the definition of atonement….
At- one- ment … life preserving and connecting life to life. In the physical flesh with parent to child and in the Spirit with God to humankind. God’s physical and spiritual realms operate according to the same processes and principles, though by different means. And as mirror images the order is reversed. In the physical realm of the flesh the order is body, soul, and spirit. In the spiritual realm, the work of Christ is accomplished in reverse: spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23.)
This is part of the biblical foundation of our nation which must be recaptured. It is the foundation for protection of legal history and tradition for justice and sanctity of and right to life.
There are “blood islands” in the embryo that gives rise to blood vessels and red blood cell stem cells are in place by 6 weeks!!! The point is IF governments are to allow abortion and relieve one from what is tantamount to “murder”, is it a 6 weeks or 15 weeks standard? At the very least it is not beyond 15 weeks, up to delivery. The abortion industry wants it later to obtain more marketable, more developed “parts” for human use. That is soulless, inhumane, and predatory.
(Blood islands are structures around the developing embryo which lead to many different parts of the circulatory system. Blood islands arise external to the developing embryo on the umbilical vesicle, allantois, connecting stalk and chorion.)
