1. THE MORAL ISSUE OF ABORTION
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. – Gen 1:27

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.“ – Jer 1:5

This is what the LORD says-- he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. – Isa 44:2

2. THE MASS INVASION OF THE SEED
The scripture says first the natural and then the spiritual (1 Cor. 15:46)
What we really see happening is a spirit of death that has come upon the country trying to destroy the natural seed that God wants to use as an inheritance for the things of God.

a. It was the same spirit that would cause Pharaoh to kill all the Hebrew male babies.

b. It was the same spirit that caused Herod to kill all the male babies two years and under.
Matthew 2:2-3  the Magi came looking for the one who was born King of the Jews.
Herod was troubled tarasso- Gk.

c. It was the same spirit that tried to kill Jesus
“The grave was over whelmed!”

d. The spirit of death is still alive today
“Be fruitful and multiply.”
Psalm 127:3-5 3 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD; The fruit of the womb is a reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth. 5 How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They shall not be ashamed, When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

The spirit of death is still alive today
If Satan can destroy a seed he can destroy a nation.
If we give God a seed He can deliver a nation

The spirit of death is still alive today

3. THE MONSTER INVASION OF PARTIAL BIRTH
Phil 1:21-24 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
