Fearfully and wonderfully made

"For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well." - Psalm 139: 13-14
The words inspired by God to the Psalmist are the most wonderful and beautiful picture of the glory of an unborn child concealed in its mother's womb. How often do people take for granted the value of the soul of the person God is personally forming within the womb. Unborn lives are so taken for granted, that they are no longer even seen as human lives. They are merely a mass of tissue, a clump of cells, an unimportant fetus, a "missed period", or the very popular term: "product of conception". The unborn children have been so degraded that they no longer have the right to live. Their mother decides whether they live or die. How messed up is our society that mothers, for practically any reason, can end the life of their own child? One of the biggest reasons is that many women don't fully realize what they are doing. They have been deceived into believing that they are not carrying a tiny life inside them. But rather an nonliving and unimportant "potential human". One of the biggest pushers for this lie is the organization Planned Parenthood. They are an organization that is "supposed" to be an organization that helps women to make choices that are best for their lives and the life of the their child. Instead, Planned Parenthood tends to operate with an abortion first mentality. They will do and say anything to sell as many abortions as they can. This includes lying to women about what is truly in their uterus. Please visit this link to see a video that exposes what Planned Parenthood is really telling women. A pro-life woman went under cover as someone seeking an abortion and asked Planned Parenthood what a fetus was.

In this video, the Planned Parenthood counselor says that a fetus does not have a heart beat until 18 weeks. She claims it may have something different than a heart beat called heart "tones" at 3 weeks. There is her first lie. In reality, a baby has its very own independent heart BEAT only 18 days after conception and by 21 days, the heart is pumping blood through a closed circulatory system. The counselor's worst and biggest lie is that the pregnancy is a not a baby until birth. Apart from being completely wrong, this statement is also completely ridiculous!! Only three weeks after conception, the baby already has a spinal cord, a beating heart, and several other organs. Five weeks after conception, the baby's brain is almost finished developing. Six weeks after conception, the baby is only a 1/2 inch long and has eyes, ears, a nose, arms, and fingers and is already beginning to move. Seven weeks after conception, the baby's bones have begun to develop and its toes have formed. Eight weeks after conception, the baby's eyes can close with tiny eyelids. All of this happens in only the first few weeks of a 40 week pregnancy. It is truly a baby long before it is born. Women need to realize what they are doing by having an abortion. Planned Parenthood also needs to more upfront and not cagey about the baby developing inside the mother. Women need to know that God is knitting together a baby inside them and that the baby is fearfully and wonderfully made.
