Phil Robertson Abortion Speech

I had just recently started watching the popular TV reality series Duck Dynasty. Not that I have a fascination for watching what many might consider to be demeaning to some of Louisiana's population, but because I had heard on Fox News that the TV show was good wholesome entertainment that focuses on values and even ended every episode with a prayer. After watching a few episodes, I 100% agree! This show has to be one of the best shows I have seen that focuses on morales and values. It's like watching the Walton's, but on steroids! I absolutely loved the show!

One of the stars of this show, Phil Robertson, recently gave a speech that conformed my support for TV show and compels me to believe the people on this show are the "real deal" when it comes to their faith and beliefs. The characters of Duck Dynasty may look rough on the outside, but I think they just may have "hearts for the Lord" and be great spiritual role models.
Here is an excerpt from the Phil Robertson's speech:
"Listen, from the time you started inside your mother's womb, Thomas Jefferson had it right, ... you have the God-given right to life for crying out loud. You're this long (referring to the end of his finger). You're a week old inside your mother. They suck you out of there when you are about like that. You wouldn't be here tonight! And, when you got to be the size of my thumb, they suck you out. You wouldn't be here. Then, you grow a little bigger, like my fist - and finally eight, nine months later you come out ... And we debate whether it's a — some woman's right to tear you out of there a piece at a time! C'mon! You have a God-given right to live. And of all places, inside your mother ... what in the world happened to us?"
Amen brother! It doesn't get much clearer than that! If we don't have a right to live within the womb of our own mother's, then where do we have a right to live? And, what in the world did happen to America and the values our great forefathers founded this nation on? Just like brother Phil spoke of in his fiery speech.

 

I tell you what happened to these values! They were hi-jacked by progressive thinking. It is no longer politically correct to tell anyone that what they are doing is wrong. Even more politically incorrect to label actions such as abortion as a SIN that women will someday answer to kneeling at the feet of their Lord Jesus. The problem is we have stopped identifying and condemning sins and started accepting them as the everyday norm.
The Bible is clear and teaches us this:
Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:4-5

 

The whole debate around the legality of abortion is that a fetus is not a human being. But, God said he knew us before we were born, even in the womb. This tells me that God has a purpose for every life, including the lives that were not allowed to live because of abortion.

 

Abortion is a sin and it is murder. Do not be deceived and start calling abortion what it really is!
