Abortion and the Book of Revelation

MADRID, SPAIN - MARCH 29:  A placard reads 'No...Image by Getty Images via @daylife
Two articles side-by-side in today's National Post. One is on abortion. The other a dismissive article on the New Testament book of Revelation.

The juxtaposition of an article on the book of Revelation with one on abortion was probably coincidental. But one of the central tenets of Revelation, that the devil continues to deceive mankind, is surely found in the sulphurous statement quoted in the abortion article, which says, "for most women, abortion is safer than carrying a pregnancy and having a baby".

As the abortion article indicates, many women suffer terrible psychological effects after abortions. They increase their risk of breast cancer. They kill their unborn child [at least half of whom are female] and jeopardize their soul.

People would do well to pay more, not less, attention to the book of Revelation, and its message of a heroic battle between good and evil, truth and deception, destruction and redemption. In John's companion work, the gospel of John, Jesus says concerning the devil, "The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

The world is getting more weird every day.

Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should

"... nothing intellectually compelling or challenging.. bald assertions coupled to superstition... woefully pathetic"
