Modern-Day Eugenics – Church Militant

Recentreportsrevealthat Iceland is aborting 100 percent of their babies diagnosed with Down syndrome. Dr. Peter McParland, an ob-gyn at National Maternity Hospital, the largest maternity hospital in Ireland, affirmed, "In Iceland every single baby 100 percent of all those diagnosed with Down's syndrome are aborted."

A recent BBC documentary, "A World Without Down's Syndrome," gives an in-depth look at the family life of actress Sally Phillips, whose whole family is blessed by raising a child with Down's syndrome. According to Phillips, the purpose of the film is to ask, "What kind of society do we want to live in, and who do we think should be allowed to live in it?"

Phillips also wanted to show the public that raising a child with Down's syndrome is "not only manageable but also an enjoyable experience." This is backed by polls, which showthat most families are enriched by caring for special-needs babies.

The BBC documentary exposes the fact that in the United Kingdom, 90 percent of babies diagnosed with Down's Syndrome are aborted. Denmark is aborting 98 percent of their Down's Syndrome babies, while roughly 90 percent of babies with that condition are killed annually in the United States.

Oklahoma is but one state pushing back against this holocaust. Last week the state's House of Representatives passed the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act of 2017. It still has a long way to go before becoming law, and the majority of other states need to do likewise.

In answering Phillip's question "What kind of society do we want to live in?" there are some societies that practiced eugenics, thinking it was in their best interest to do so. One such society was Egypt in the days of Moses.

In Exodus 1:16, Pharaoh orders the midwives, "When you shall do the office of midwives to the Hebrew women, and the time of delivery is come: if it be a man child, kill it: if a woman, keep it alive." Pharaoh, like the Communist leaders in today's China, decided who lives based on sex. Like Nazi Germany, Egypt decided who should live based on race.

Thank God "the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded, but saved the men children"; for as we read further in Exodus, Moses was saved because of it. He went on to be God's instrument for establishing the nation of Israel from which Christ would come.

God's plans with individuals are far bigger and nobler than our human plans. As God says through the prophet Isaiah 55:8: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts: nor your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are exalted above the earth, so are my ways exalted above your ways, and my thoughts above your thoughts."
