Matthew 10:29-31
Not even a sparrow, worth only half a penny can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows.Abortion is at the center of what appears to be a never ending legal and political debate over whether a human embryo has the right to life or does a woman carrying that very embryo have the right to choose to abort an unwanted pregnancy? The moral dilemma that emerges for people when opting for abortion might be answered by the laws already in place for wildlife. Note the following law protecting an eagle embryo: "Federal protection of eagles is not limited to the live birds. It extends to their eggs, nests and dead carcasses as well. Not only is it especially unlawful to kill these birds, but federal law also prohibits the mere possession of one feather from an eagle without a government permit." When lined up for comparison, it’s apparent that an eagle's embryo has better legal protection than a human embryo. The laws protecting eagles are certainly reasonable, but how much more sense would it make to value the life of a person?
