Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed.
Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.
Isaiah 1:17
An orphan but not even born yet?? Is it possible to be a child growing in the womb, and be an orphan? Oh yes.
Thousands of people every day choose to abort their child, not always realizing what they are doing. These parents disconnect from their baby, they don’t protect their child from danger and they lay it all on choice. They fall for the convenient falsehood that the child growing inside the womb is, “a blob of tissue,” “it’s not human,” or “it’s not a person yet.” Sadly, children slated for abortion have no parents…they are orphans, left to fend for themselves and fight for their own life, but of course, they can’t.
No matter what the reasons, a baby left behind in the abortionist’s office by her mother, and denied the right to life by her father, is the very definition of an orphan—“A child deprived of parental care and has not been adopted.”
So who will care for these children, who will speak up for the child in the womb? We must help these orphans when parents fail, we must come to their defense when parents won’t, we must do good when parents don’t.
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
James 1:27
