Pharaoh’s daughter saw the basket. Noticing the basket among the reeds, she sent her handmaid to fetch it. On opening it, she looked, and lo, there was a baby boy, crying! She was moved with pity for him.
Holy Scripture says, she lifted the lid and found the baby. Instantly, she wanted to save him. Suddenly, her life changed because she knew this baby must be permitted to live.
This may be the first example of a conversion from the “culture of death” to the “culture of life.” This may be the first woman who accepted baby killing as “good for the society” – until she comes face to face with a baby and her heart tells her something else.
The pro-life movement has worked from this assumption – and Holy Scripture seems to underscore the message. If only you would lift the lid on the whole abortion thing and really take a good look at what’s inside, you would see for yourself that it is a baby. And your heart wouldn’t let you make any other decision.
The child must live, no matter what.
If only a few people in key places would have the courage to say what Pharaoh’s daughter said. This child must live.
