A very dear friend of mine doesn't. She says that in order to describe words you have to use words. Words describe words! You can't touch them or anything! I need something to touch and manipulate. Well, I love words. I love to read them, write them down, I love to write words about words with words! One day, while reading the dictionary, I began to look up a strand of words and I wanted to share them with you.
Abortion-untimely birth; miscarriage; that which falls short of maturity by arrest of development.
Arrest-to stop or stay; check or hinder or motion of; seize, take or apprehend by legal authority; seize and fix, as the eye of attention: the act of seizing; holding back by force or restraint; the state of being seized or detained by legal authority.
Seize-to take possession of forcibly or suddenly; grasp; snatch; take hold of; comprehend;
Snatch-to take or seize abruptly and suddenly without permission; seize and carry away; the attempt to seize anything suddenly; Slang-kidnapping, or the act of kidnapping.
I don't know exactly what the legal punishment is for one who has committed the hideous crime of kidnapping but I do know that it is not lawful and it is not a commended profession.
As I pray I ask that you please also. Please pray that, even if it is just one at a time, that God will change the hearts of mothers who seek to gain their normal life back with an abortion. Please pray that God will change the hearts of the doctors one at a time. A gentlemen that kept the roads clear of stone by busting them with a sledge hammer told Amy Carmichael it took many blows to break the rocks. He told her to never say, "I won this person for Christ." You may have been that last blow of MANY. That there were many blows made before you and you were just the last and were privileged to witness the breaking of that hard heart. Please, pray. One blow at a time, this evil, this child sacrifice that is destroying our country can be brought to its knees. Praying is something we can all do! And do it we must!
