“Jesus said to him, ‘Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will not believe.'” ~ Jn 4:48 (full readings)
.
Rich’s Reflections:  You have probably heard the idiom, “seeing is believing.”  As Christians though, we should understand that “believing is seeing.”  By having faith in Jesus, He lights the way for us to see the Truth (Jn 14:16).  How is it that a large portion of our so-called Christian nation does not believe an unborn child to be human? Perhaps they need to see in order to believe.   Ultrasound technology is credited with an important role in changing attitudes in women considering an abortion.  If women see images of their unborn children, and are educated about developing life in the womb, they are less likely to abort.  Statistics show that among women considering abortion, nearly 90% of them decide to keep their babies after getting an ultrasound.  This means that ultrasound technology is literally a life saving tool that needs to be placed in the hands of every Crisis Pregnancy Center for the sake of the unborn and those considering an abortion.

Faith Challenge:  The question of whether a woman should be required to have an ultrasound prior to an abortion is a question now pending in the legislature of several states.  Petition lawmakers to pass mandatory ultrasound legislation in your state, because seeing is believing.
