What Does God Say About Ministering At The Abortion Clinic

Open your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are appointed to die.
Open your mouth, judge righteously,
And plead the cause of the poor & needy.
Proverbs 31:8-9


The Sixth Commandment
You shall not murder
Exodus 20:13

Each holy commandment of God reflects a sin forbidden & a duty required.
"The person who does not repel an injury from another when he can is a much to blame as the one who commits it."

Sins forbidden in the Sixth Commandment

The sin of neglecting or withdrawing the lawful & necessary means of the preservation of life. (Matt 25:42-43;James 2:15-16;Eccl 6:1-2)
The sin of unjustified anger (as with aborting mother against her pre-born baby) (Matt 5:22)

"Negatively, [the Sixth commandment] forbids every ... injury inflicted upon our own or our neighbor's person.
Our neighbor may be injured by neglecting him or by not assiting him according to our ability. ...
The, positively, this commandment requires the preservation of our own & our neighbor's life & safety.
This is done by rendering assistance to others or by protecting them from injuries, in a way of humanity, mercy or friendship."
~ Ernest Reisinger, Whatever Happened to the Ten Commandments?

...when we are but few and feeble
then to believe that God can not only save us, but save by us ...
Let this strengthen the weak and encourage the timid:
let it be pleaded with God for the enforcing of our petitions and with ourselves for the silencing of our fears:
It is nothing with God to help, whether with many or with those that have no power, 2 Chr. 14:11.
... He that can use us for His glory ...
We may encourage ourselves with hope that God will appear for us ...An active faith will venture far in God’s cause ...
~ Matthew Henry
