In preparation for the most consequential presidential election of our lifetime, Democrats are planning on using abortion as one of the issues they believe will help them win the presidency. How far have we fallen as a nation that abortion — the killing of innocent human life — can actually be thought of as a selling point for a major political party!

More importantly, how can we win the argument to preserve the sanctity of life for the benefit of our posterity and the preservation of the blessings of liberty?

Post a prayer for your state!

We must reclaim the language. He who establishes the language wins the argument.

We have allowed the Left to define the argument as one over “abortion.” The word “abortion” speaks of the rights of the woman, and no one wants to deny women their rights. Abortion says nothing of the rights of the child in the womb.

If we’re going to win the argument for the hearts and minds of Americans, we will have to use language that focuses more on the life and the rights of the baby in the womb. Why don’t we call abortion what it really is: “child sacrifice.”

Are you shocked? This is not hyperbole or exaggeration. It is, in fact, what abortion is. Abortion is the sacrificing of a baby for the “choice” of another.

In the present debate over abortion, and through the words we use to describe the issue, the happiness of the woman is preferred over the life of the baby. That ought not to be the case.

We can win this argument. Child sacrifice must be unacceptable in modern-day America.

It will take bold public leaders to change the terms of the debate. Yes, the left will push back, but we must be firm, knowing that truth is on our side. It is, in fact, the sacrifice of a child for the choice of another. No longer should we use the word “abortion,” but rather use the term describing what it is: “child sacrifice.” We will win that debate.

Let’s win the debate. For the benefit of the yet unborn, the continued greatness of our nation, and, ultimately, for the glory of God!

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them (Ephesians 5:11 ESV).
