A 33-week-old human child.
A 33 week old human child in its mother’s womb.
For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Psalm 139:13-14
A personal aside. I was born prematurely at seven months. In 1953. I’m now halfway through my seventy-first year of life. I’m fine. Made it this far. So far. Fully developed. No learning disabilities. All thanks to God Almighty. I’m not some anomaly or freak that due to being born at seven months lacked the ability to survive, thrive, and by the grace and will of God enter my 71st year of life in this form. I’m a human being, a man, created by God. Knitted together in my mother’s womb by the gift of life from God. Let’s begin calling murder what it is, murder, and stop using euphemisms and trumped-up “rights” to premeditatively murder human children, shall we?
Let’s even reveal our being peculiar people, separate from the world, belonging to God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and even cease using the mind-numbing word abortion to describe the premeditated murder of human children, shall we? Would that be so difficult?
Let’s stop hiding behind perverted and endless words rather than speaking and writing clearly, plainly — to kill a human fetus, at any stage of pregnancy, ANY STAGE OF PREGNANCY, is murder. In the first degree. With intent. Premeditated. Because a living egg impregnated by a living sperm is, well, alive. Living. And when involving a man and a woman? Well, it’s then human. What is so difficult about this? Why have we permitted the Evil One and his legions of ministers, minions, and captives to have their way, their words take precedence over reality, the truth?
Let’s stop pretending, stop acting so high and mighty, our own person, we have sole rights over our bodies which is a direct denial of God and God’s existence, God’s will. Like we’re so advance, sophisticated, refined, and educated that we can’t speak or write plainly. The truth. And can omit God, omit the Scriptures from all conversations.
Shall we?
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah 5:20
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.
John 3:36

Talking points on abortion
Wednesday, June 14, 2023
By Ciarán Kelly
News story links about Carla Foster, the British woman who lied in order to premeditatively murder her 33, to 34week old child via abortion pills, and Psalm 139 following the article provided by the administrator of A Crooked Path.
Reprinted from The Christian Institute [in the U.K.]
People are talking about the jailing of a woman who lied to get drugs for an abortion at around 33 weeks.
Woman Killed Her 33-Week-Old Unborn Baby With the Abortion Pill – LifeNews.com
As a U.K. Woman Is Jailed, Some Call for Abortion Law Overhaul | Time
Here are a few points you could mention:
- The time limit for abortion is 12 weeks in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, and Greece. It’s 14 weeks in France and Spain.
- The most common principle cited in the UK is that the time limit should be set at ‘viability’, i.e. when babies are expected to survive outside the womb.
- Once this was set at 28 weeks. Thirty years ago, due to medical advances it was lowered to 24 weeks. But there’s no limit where a child is deemed to have a disability.
- Today, many babies born before 24 weeks survive.
- A baby born at the age of the child in this case would almost certainly survive. Many mothers have told of how their children, born at 33 weeks or younger, are now healthy adults.
We believe in the sanctity of life from conception. But even secular journalists like Allison Pearson and Sarah Vine have backed the judge and oppose those who want to legalise abortion up to birth.
For more information read our short abortion briefing or bioethicist Dr John Ling’s booklet: When does human life begin?
Please continue to pray for a change in our laws to protect the unborn.

Search Me, O God, and Know My Heart
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.
O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.
You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.a
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.
Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
O men of blood, depart from me!
They speak against you with malicious intent;
your enemies take your name in vain.b
Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD?
And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
I hate them with complete hatred;
I count them my enemies.
Search me, O God, and know my heart!
Try me and know my thoughts!c
And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting!d
Psalm 139
