I saw Unplanned on Friday. Everyone on the fence about the morality of prenatal homicide should certainly see it.

Abbey Johnson confirmed in the movie what anyone with insight already knew: the typical pattern in descending order that continues to uphold our culture of death is:

1) Fornication with one’s boyfriend
2) Abortion, out of fear and shame
3) Anger at boyfriend for break-up, and at self for being stupid enough to let it all happen
4) Self-identification with the fornication and abortion, and consequent deep seated self-loathing with hardness of heart
5) Attempting to live with oneself – by firmly rationalizing and justifying abortion, and selling it to others

Reason indicates that as a society if we do not rightly attack #1 we will have very little success with #’s 2-5.

As politically incorrect and futile as this may seem, if we do not speak with similar fervor and clarity about the moral evil of fornication as we do on the moral evil of abortion, our culture of death – prenatal murder of 4200 children per day – will not end.  As the last 46 years has clearly shown us, fornication leads to murder. Unfortunately most pro-lifers don’t seem to get this.

Although I understand why, even the movie passed over this vital point, emphasizing Abbey crying and seeking forgiveness over her abortions while ignoring (at least for the movie) the grave sin of her fornication.  But just as sex and marriage go together in the natural order, fornication and abortion tend to go together in the unnatural order. And the contraception mentality is its foundation and catalyst. No real success at building a culture of life after the devastation of sexual revolution will be realized without recognizing and attacking contraception-fornication-abortion as a triadic whole. Three cause-and-effect fruits of the same poison tree, unleashing history’s unimaginable genocidal era of prenatal homicide. All three dimensions are part of the one sexual ‘revolution’ against God and His law.

This must no longer be ignored.
