Blood Offerings

Abortion stops a beating heart. You've seen the bumper stickers. And you know that it's true. But then, so do pro-choice feminists. Because, as we know from Romans 1, the unbeliever suppresses the truth, no matter how evident, in his pursuit of unrighteousness. But some unbelievers are more honest than others. Take a recent article by a woman named Antonia Senior’s in The Times [London] entitled, “Yes, Abortion is Killing. But It’s the Lesser Evil.”
Senior admits that a fetus at any stage is a child and, “any other conclusion is a convenient lie that we on the pro-choice side of the debate tell ourselves to make us feel better about the action of taking a life.” But does this confession make her repudiate the murder of children? No.
Instead, she insists that “reproduction rights” (i.e. abortion) are central to the feminist cause and “if you are willing to die for a cause, you must be prepared to kill for it, too.” In other words, sure, abortion is murder. But somebody has to die in the glorious name of feminism.
Don't be shocked by this. To be a feminist, you must despise fatherhood (patriarchy) and if you're going to despise fathers, you must despise the family. And if you're going to despise the family, you must despise childbearing. For example, in The Dialectic of Sex, radical feminist Shulamith Firestone tells us how we can free ourselves from the patriarchy.
The freeing of women from tyranny of their reproductive biology by every means available, and the diffusion of the childbearing and childrearing role to the society as a whole, men as well as women.
That is feminism in all its cruelty. Forget the liberation of women. Feminism is about rejecting the fatherhood of God. And while belivers in the true gospel cry out, "Abba, Father" (Rom 8:15), believers in this false gospel climb to a summit of their own success, upon a mountaintop of their own murdered children.

When I was a young woman I
When I was a young woman I listened to all the various issues that feminism put forth. To me it came across that the primary issue was circled around who am I, what is my purpose on earth. I felt it was an identity crisis with many demensions. I thought about it alot. I came to the conclusion that I was no one apart from God. The search for worth and value was an underlying issue. When you think there is a substitute for God or you are wondering around in the wilderness apart from God, you can not discern what is truth and what is falsehood. Life is a gift from God, and at the time I watched a number of Christian marriages fall apart, partly do to that underlying feeling that I have no value, I have no worth and I can not be loved for who I am. People substitute many things when they walk apart from God and do not realize that a life without God really is a life without hope and a life without the promises of God to rely upon and a life without the Bible is not really life. My husband was in Seminary at the time and I was moved to tears upon discovering that one of the profs was walking away from his wife... How is it that those in ministry do not realize that God has said in the Old Testament - "Do not leave the wife of your youth." Some of the foundations of marriage are built on communication, committment, and compassion, in the Lord. But then again this is not a piece on how feminism affected clergy at the beginning of this movement.
I read a piece once on a young woman who got an abortion, she had done it in desperation to be accepted and loved by her mother. What she did to gain some form of love, she found became a physcological trama that at the time left her feeling devastated. "No matter what I do I will never be loved by my mother. " It was the most tragic story I ever read on the issue. People do desperate things when they are searching to be loved, wanted and of value.
Feminism carried with it a subtle form of self centerness based a great deal on "I want."
