Don’t you just love a baby’s soft, chunky, little feet and toes? Moms love to hold them and 
squeeze them. They’re so awesomely cute and kissable. Mom blogger Melanie Edwards asked some Moms what it is about baby feet that they love so much. One mom said, “You can hold them in the palm of your hand and be in awe of the magic of a baby while cuddling them.” Another mom said, “What isn’t there to love about baby feet? Tiny, little, pudgy, ticklish…and they are just so cute.”
But there are some who aren’t moved by sweet baby toes. And we wonder– How is it that these people called abortionists can callously suction out of the womb the hands and feet, fingers and toes of a baby and call it helping the mother? How is it possible that the abortionist doesn’t gasp in horror at seeing these sweet, tender, little baby hands and feet separated from its body? It astonishes me how these ‘doctors’ can be so blind to the taking of human life. And, it frightens me.
I’m frightened that fellow human beings, doctors who claim to protect human life, can be so anesthetized to seeing hands and feet in their vacuumed discards of the day that they forget what it means to “do no harm”. If they can’t recognize the destruction of human life, what else are they capable of?
And I’m saddened for the abortionist. One Day he will see, and be devastated at the destruction and inhumanity of his job. One Day, He will see the hands and feet, fingers and toes of Jesus, and will be awakened to the heart-stopping reality of what he’s done…and didn’t do. He didn’t save a life and nurture it with the life-giving skills he has as a doctor. He didn’t protect life. One Day Jesus will be there to remind him, “Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did not do for me.” (Matthew 25:45)
But we know through Jesus there is still hope for the abortionist (as there is for each one of us). The abortionist can turn in humility to the One who has true sovereignty over life and death…our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Jesus is the One who can open the eyes of the blind…and He will. Jesus is the One who forgives… and He will, when we turn to Him.
