Perception Is Key
How we perceive the nature of this conflict will control every decision we make and every action we take.
This article is a section pulled from the book, Siege.
There are those within the pro-life movement who want to see the conflict over legalized abortion as a political, or cultural, or theological confrontation between two groups of people with differing world views.
But when the first baby was killed, that position was no longer sustainable. At that moment, our society was thrust into an age in which one group of human beings – motivated by greed, murky political agendas and selfishness – would be permitted to legally slaughter another group of human beings for any reason at all or no reason at all. The womb, which God designed to be a place of protection and serenity, was instantly transformed into the most deadly environment on earth.
The result is that millions of innocent and helpless children have been killed, and continue to be killed, for simply being at the wrong place at the wrong time. That is not a clash of philosophies or ideas. That is a war.
The thing we must never forget, however, is that it is not a war between the abortion lobby and the pro-life movement; it is a war between the abortion lobby and the unborn. The pro-life movement is simply an all-volunteer army that entered the conflict as allies of those who are under attack and cannot defend themselves.
Of course, there will be people who ask what practical difference it makes whether we classify the struggle against abortion as a war or as something less polarizing.
The answer is simple. How we perceive the nature of the conflict will control every decision we make and every action we take. If this is indeed a war, but we fail to respond to it as such, or if we believe we are insulated from the rules and principles that history has shown govern all wars, we undermine our ability to either develop effective strategies and tactics of our own, or evaluate those of our enemies.
That would be a mistake the unborn and their moms cannot afford for us to make.
