also makes site upkeep and maintenance a whole lot easier. Because we’ve optimized the back-end code of the new site to be much more search-engine friendly, Abort73 should soon find itself with a whole lot more search-driven traffic (not to mention the fact that the new site should load faster and be significantly easier to navigate). Once the main site is up, we’ll turn our attention to the Abort73 web store, the performance and function of which will also be dramatically improved. To put it simply, Abort73 version 3.0 will be a vastly improved resource for demonstrating to people across the globe the barbaric injustice of abortion. Please pray for our progress, and help us spread the word!

whore, but not multiply, because they have forsaken the LORD.

God is doling out punishment here and I find it interesting that he says, “they shall eat, but not be satisfied; they shall play the whore, but not multiply.” The implication is that satisfaction is the normal reward for eating and multiplying (children) is the normal reward for intercourse. Apparently, God is punishing his people by withholding satisfaction from their eating and childbearing from their sexual immorality. Today, women and men do by choice the very thing which God brought upon Israel as a curse. Can we not understand what a bizarre, self-inflicted kind of abuse abortion actually is?
9:11,12 - Ephraim’s glory shall fly away like a bird - no birth, no pregnancy, no conception! Even if they bring up children, I will bereave them till none is left.

While the term conceived shows up with great frequency in scripture, this is the only time we find the word conception. I was again struck by the simple progression. Conception, pregnancy, birth. Notice that Hosea doesn’t say, “no conception, no implantation, no heartbeat, no brain wave activity, no viability outside the womb, etc.” The only decisive moments are conception and birth. Very few people believe abortion should be legal through all nine months of pregnancy. Most believe that at some point in pregnancy, abortion goes from being acceptable to being immoral. If you press them, though, they have a very hard time articulating at what point that should be. Why do they struggle? Because conception is the only decisive moment in all of pregnancy. Everything else is one long continuum of development. Apparently, Hosea knew that.

9:14 - Give them, O LORD, what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

In Hosea’s day, God punished the wickedness of Israel by causing Israelite women to miscarry. Barrenness was an utter reproach and so this was a grave punishment indeed. Today in America, and across the globe, women choose to miscarry their own children. They choose barrenness! Such masochistic behavior would be almost incomprehensible to Hosea’s audience and yet it has become tragically normal for us...
