John Piper preached a powerful "Sanctity of Life" sermon last week. (HT: Between Two Worlds). Video excerpt here. Piper quoted President Obama:
“We are reminded that this decision not only women’s
health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle:
that government should not intrude on our most private family matters.”
To which Piper responded:
- No, Mr. President, you are not protecting women’s health; you are authorizing the destruction of half a million tiny women every year.
- No, Mr. President, you are not protecting reproductive freedom; you are authorizing the destruction of freedom for a million helpless people every year.
- No, Mr. President, killing our children does not
cease to be killing our children no matter how many times you call it a
private family matter. Call it what you will, they are dead, and we
have killed them. And you, Mr. President, would keep the killing legal.
