[Faith-talk] Mandates On Who Can and Can't Have Children?

[Everett Gavel]

"Can't imagine a mandate on who can't have them?"  Ah, 
now we're getting into deep territory here. And it has 
everything to do with faith and blindness, so no 
worries there. Regarding this thing on telling blind 
people they can't be parents or have children or 
whatever, there are some points to consider.

*  In some other countries, China for example, I 
believe there are already mandates on how many children 
can be had.  No, not on blind people, but on everyone.

*  There are also those leaders in our own USA that 
believe there should be such limits on people here.  If 
you give thought to it, it's not all that far from 
telling, next, who can or cannot have children. 
Thankfully we have not yet openly made a practice of 
limiting how many children each family can have.  But 
they are already doing so in other countries.  And 
again, it's not so far fetched or so far beyond such a 
decree, to begin telling various groupings of people 
they can or cannot have children.

*  In this country, they are already giving the option 
of aborting babies with certain genetics, such as the 
likelihood of, what is it, Downs Syndrome, I think? 
How different is that, really?  It's us, here in 
America, already saying that people with disabilities - 
or at least, certain disabilities - don't deserve to 
live.

*  How much farther do we have to step (I say step as 
it's not much of a jump) to say people with 
disabilities don't deserve certain rights, either? 
They've already begun taking away the right to life, 
for some with disabilities.

Ponder that for a few minutes.  It's sad, and even a 
little scary, that such a world is already here, not 
just a possibility.  The people who want that as the 
rule, are right now trying to get into power and to 
sway the current leaders to get legislation as such, 
every day.  Some of our current leaders and some just 
elected I'm sure, are also following that line of 
thought.

Don't fool yourself into thinking it's not so.  If you 
pay attention, you'll see it all around you.

It's a death culture, not a life culture, that is 
rising up.  Christ's people are being pushed down, 
we're not rising up.  At least, not in as much of a 
significant way as the death culture is.  It is here, 
and it certainly is, "now."  So be wary, and don't 
think the possibility of being told how many children 
you can have, or that you can't have children, doesn't 
exist.


Strive On!
