(Leviticus 18:21)<\/p>\n<p>Why would God need to tell his people <em>not<\/em> to offer their precious child on the altar of a pagan god? Well, because it turns out that sinful mankind is very apt to offer their children as a sacrifice to a god\u2014whether that\u2019s Molech or the god of self, convenience, comfort, safety, or pleasure. We\u2019re no better today than the pagan nations around Israel that gave up their children. And the numbers at Planned Parenthood prove it.<\/p>\n<p>For its 2024\u20132025 fiscal year, the abortion (baby murder) giant reports that it performed a record 434,450 abortions. Let that sink in: 434,450 precious, helpless image bearers of God, murdered in their mother\u2019s womb. That\u2019s an 8% increase from the year before. That\u2019s an averaged 1,190 babies <em>every single day<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Most of those babies are likely killed via abortion pills (which are deadly to babies and harmful to women) prescribed through \u201ctelehealth\u201d visits.<\/p>\n<p>Katherine Van Dyke, an American Life League researcher, highlighted Planned Parenthood\u2019s expanding use of telehealth services, which increased 126% from 2024 to 2025, reaching 320,390 telehealth appointments plus another 62,000 through virtual centers. These undoubtedly push dangerous abortion pills that kill babies and injure women.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, even though Roe was overturned, horrific numbers of abortions continue, even in states where it is no longer legal to operate a clinic, because anyone can order pills online and kill their baby. The blood of these murdered children is surely crying out to the God who \u201chates\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. hands that shed innocent blood\u201d (Proverbs 6:16\u201317).<\/p>\n<p>Instead of welcoming babies into the world as the blessings and gifts that God says they are, men and women are murdering the children God has given them!<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s no shock that, around the same time I saw this report from Planned Parenthood, there was another news item announcing that the US birth rate has hit <em>another<\/em> record low, dropping from 1.6 births per woman, to 1.57 births (that\u2019s more than a 1% decrease). Instead of welcoming babies into the world as the blessings and gifts that <span>God<\/span> says they are, men and women are murdering the children <span>God<\/span> has given them! It\u2019s another tragic consequence of a worldview grounded on man\u2019s word rather than <span>God<\/span>\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n<p>According to one source, the birth rate is so bad that:<\/p>\n<p>There were MORE babies born in 1966\u2014when our population was 196 million\u2014than in 2025, with 343 million people.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, if the nearly half a million babies Planned Parenthood murdered last year (and that\u2019s just the numbers for Planned Parenthood\u2014that doesn\u2019t include other abortion providers!) had been allowed to live, think what a difference that would make for the future of this nation.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, it\u2019s estimated there are over one million abortions each year right now in America.  The number of additional births needed each year in America to even out the birth rate is just over one million!<\/p>\n<p>Abortion is evil. <strong>Babies are a blessing from God, and we need to do everything we can to protect those lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n    Behold, children are an inheritance of Yahweh, &#13;<br \/>\n    <br \/>The fruit of the womb is a reward.
