Speech Presented by Sandra Semac at the University of Western Ontario PRINTABLE VERSION

On Occasion of Henry Morgantaller being awarded an honourary doctorate at the University of Western Ontario on June 16, 2005

We are Truth and Love for Life.
 
We are Christians who believe all life has value and worth because it is GOD who forms each life in His own image in the womb where every life begins.
 
He has not poured out His judgment against these murders yet because He is patient, kind and loving.
 
He is giving people the chance to believe that Jesus Christ suffered the penalty for their sins, so they can be forgiven and have eternal life.
 
We grieve for women, men and children who are unjustly hurt or killed in the name of freedom and have not had the chance to make a choice for themselves.
 
The Bible says: Open your mouth for the mute, For the rights of all the unfortunate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, And defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.
 
We are empathetic to all women who have not been told the truth regarding their physical and emotional health after abortion.
 
A child from conception in the womb, is created in the image of God.
 
Once the child is conceived it is the creation of God in His own image and a life in the womb involves four persons - Mother, Father, Child and God.
 
While we empathize with both women and men, we are especially mourning the holocaust of millions of children savagely torn from the place God created to be for their protection in their weakest, most fragile time.
 
There is no other way a child can be brought into this world but through the womb, and the Bible says that it is in the womb God has formed us. We’re all created in God’s image to have great value and worth.
 
God asks us through His Word, the Bible (Isaiah 49:15) “Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? And He answers, “Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you.” He will not forget the lives of these children. He is the one that has formed each one in the womb.
 
Making truth to be whatever we want it to be is no longer truth.
 
As we mourn for these millions of children, we also hope to share the unchangeable truth of God’s Word.
 
The Bible says: Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil;
 
Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes.
 
Encouraging women to pursue so called beautiful and convenient lifestyles at the cost of God’s precious and living creations is going to bring judgment from the LORD on our country if we don’t change our ways and seek His forgiveness.
 
God is a Just God and will not allow killing or any other sin to go unpunished. We would cry out in utter horror if the same atrocities occurred outside of the womb.
 
Yet, how cold and apathetic love has become when we praise and honour those who encourage moms and dads to destroy the lives of their own children.
 
The Bible says just the penalty for sin is hell.
 
God has not poured out His judgment against these murders yet because of His patience and love for life.
 
He has not brought strict judgment yet because he wants us to save us from our sins.
 
He wants us to be saved from the penalty of our sins – and saved from the sin that we are trapped in if we don’t know Him.
 
Forgiveness isn’t cheap. It can’t be earned. We would all agree that it doesn’t matter how many good things a murderer says he’ll do to make up for his wrong. He still has to pay the penalty for his crime.
 
This is justice.
 
God sent His Son Jesus Christ to suffer death on the cross. This wasn’t a small price to pay.
 
Jesus never sinned – and so he didn’t deserve this treatment. But because of His love for us, he became the sacrifice for the sin of those who will believe that He is the Son of God and that he rose from the dead. Jesus said, “"I am the way, and the truth, and the life,” and Truly, I say to you, he who hears my word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment.”
 
The Bible says that God takes no pleasure in sending people to hell, but He wants everyone to come to repentance.
 
Because we love life in light of God’s truth, we want to see justice for the lives of these children we mourn. Because we love all life we urge those who have committed abortions to go against the selfish grain of society and humble their lives to the truth and love of Jesus Christ.
 
It is for Jesus Christ that we speak all these things in His truth and His love for life.
 

QUICK BLURB:
 
We believe all life has value and worth because it is GOD who forms each life in His own image in the womb where every life begins.
 
He has not poured out the judgment of His anger over these murders yet because He is patient, kind and loving.
 
He is giving people the chance to believe that Jesus Christ suffered the penalty for their sins, so they can be forgiven and have eternal life.
