Are we all created equal? Ask almost anyone this question and they are quick to answer, “Yes!” Follow up that question with another, “Why?” and only a few can actually articulate their beliefs on equality.
One man, during a recent outreach event in downtown Columbus, had an interesting response that periphrastically implied a crucial argument for the pro-life movement. He said, “Of course we’re all created equal. We share the same blood. Breathe the same air. Eat the same food.”
What this gentleman was getting at is the heart of the matter when it comes to equality of human life; we are inherently created equal because live is valuable. There is nothing we can do to make ourselves more or less valuable. Not a change in our height, shape, skin color, hair color, eye color, socioeconomic status, and not even a change in our age can separate us from our inherent value.
Are we all created equal and why? Because of our inherent value, we are all created equal. Why is this important to understand? There is a growing and significant problem called dehumanization. If we continually allow human rights to be tossed out the window, then we are tossing along with it our inherent value. We are all created equal but not all of us are being treated equal.
How are we dehumanizing our future? By abortion specifically, we are tossing the human right to life out the window without a second thought. In just the U.S. alone, 2,900 innocent babies are being killed everyday. Legalizing abortion in 1973 has obviously not solved the problem of dehumanizing these children.
What can we do about this injustice? Speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves. We have a choice everyday: we can either speak up or keep quiet. Stand up or stay sitting. We have the power to make a difference in other’s lives by speaking out against this injustice.
There are multiple ways anyone can help. First, educate yourself on what abortion really is and why people think it is okay to kill their baby. Second, educate your friends and family. Awareness is key in fighting this injustice. Third, get your church and friends involved. Prayer is powerful and important. Getting involved with a local organization like Created Equal will make wise use of your time and efforts. Fourth, support financially. Many pro-life groups are fully funded by donors. Help fight abortion by giving to your local pro-life group. Finally, don’t give up. We are at war and we stand for justice. In the words of Winston Churchill, “Never, never, never give up.”
At the heart of the issue, we are all created equal but we are not all treated equal. Abortion is discrimination of age. Let us stop dehumanizing the most innocent of humans to show that all life has inherent value. We know that we can make an impact to help stop this injustice. Are we all created equal? What do you say?
