Let 'em breathe, let 'em live.

Jeremiah 20:17 Because he did not kill me before birth, So that my mother would have been my grave, And her womb ever pregnant.

I really think this provides some grotesque imagery in consideration of one of America's favorite past-time: abortion. Abortion is "killing before birth." No denying that. Even if it isn't murder, it is killing something that was alive...

But it is murder and that's what makes it worse. You have turned an instrument of life into a chamber of death. God gave sexual intercourse, a wonderful thing, between a man and his wife. This act serves a two-fold purpose: bonding the couple and producing offspring. Lord knows that if sex wasn't how children were made and they were made in some neutral fashion as to be a chore, then we as a human race would've died out long ago by disobeying His command to be fruitful and multiply.

The womb ought to be a haven not a hades, safe not sheol, help not hell, peaceful not purgatory, life not death...
