The whole Bible is full of great verses. Everytime I open my Bible (which is wirtten in German), I find new messages that totally fit to my situation. This one of the ways I know that God is speaking to me and cares about my life. But there are some verses that are simply stunning and have shaped my life like nothing else in this world.

Matthew 5:

 ¹Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, ²and he began to teach them saying:
 ³"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
      for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 ⁴Blessed are those who mourn,
      for they will be comforted.
 ⁵Blessed are the meek,
      for they will inherit the earth.
 ⁶Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
      for they will be filled.
 ⁷Blessed are the merciful,
      for they will be shown mercy.
 ⁸Blessed are the pure in heart,
      for they will see God.
 ⁹Blessed are the peacemakers,
      for they will be called sons of God.
 ¹⁰Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
      for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

1 Thessalonians 5:

 ¹⁰See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.

Matthew 18:

 ¹⁶Be joyful always; ¹⁷pray continually;¹⁸give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. ¹⁹Do not put out the Spirit's fire;²⁰do not treat prophecies with contempt.²¹Test everything. Hold on to the good.

     

Doesn't it say that:
"Every human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his life." (In 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly declared in article three)

You can be very liberal and pro-life when you value this of the most importants human rights.

• Yes, I oppose capital punishment, because everyone has the right to life.
• Yes, I oppose euthanasia, because everyone has the right to life.
• Yes, I oppose abortion, because everyone has the right to life.

Based on this, I don't see the point of the pro-choice (or should I rather say pro-death) group that call themselves liberals yet they deny one of the most important rights in all modern, secular democracies.




Many "liberals" also make wrong claims, saying that pro-life activists simply intended to deprive women from their rights. However this contradicts with two facts:

• That there are also many women in the western world who view abortion as manslaughter. Are they fighting against their own rights?
• That 50% of the human beings are female.
• Therefore pro-life activists protect the a female's most basic right to life.

In addition to that, it is a fact that due to our predominantely patriarchal world, more females are aborted in favor of male children. This will cause a significant gender imbalance in favor of men, thus leading to an even greater representation of men that could lead to fewer rights for women.




I'm not a fan of the comparison to one of the most horrible crimes of humankind, but I believe that it is very similar in some basic ideologies that tried to "justify" the horrible killing. And it has the same characteristics of this unbelievable period of time in Nazi Germany:

• It is accepted by the majority. People deny their human dignity
• It is silent killing with Millions of victims
• The right to choose = Artificial selection (Think about it)

This is a response to the Huffington Post article "Auschwitz Revisited: The Holocaust and the Abortion Debate"
