From My Notepad: When Does Life Begin?

When does life begin? According to Barrack Obama, this is a very complicated question. According to Democrat Party, principles and policies, life begins when it becomes taxable! Of course that does not hold true about death because one is taxable after he dies (i.e., the death tax). When I vote, I don’t vote according to which candidate and/or party promises me the best financial benefits, I vote according to a morality standard. Even though I appreciate the financial and tax breaks afforded me as election promises, I cast my vote for the candidate and/or the party that values life. Today it may be the life of the newborn. Tomorrow it may be the life of the elderly. Perhaps in the future it could be the life of the disabled, disadvantaged or the impoverished. Nazi Germany determined it was the life of the Jewish population that was expendable. During this past primary season, I had 3 friends who were pregnant and delivered babies less than 2 pounds. My sympathy went out to those families because I believed that rarely will a baby less than 3 pounds could lived. How amazed I was 3 months later as each one of these infants have not only survived but have thrived. 2 of them have already been dismissed from the hospital and the third will be released shortly. Scripture teaches that God knows us from the womb.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." -Jeremiah 1:5

Those who kill the life of the unborn suffered under the Old Testament law. Jesus says whosoever offends these little ones, it would be better if a millstone was cast around their neck and they were tossed into the sea. When does life begin? It doesn't seem like such a complicated question to these 3 little miracles who survived their premature births.
