Equality? If people aren’t treated equally in the womb, it shouldn’t surprise us that they aren’t treaded equally after birth.

Equality? 

If people aren't
Treated equally
In the womb,
It shouldn't
Surprise us
That they aren't
Treaded equally
After birth.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!

The post “Equality” does not open, just the title.

  Yes. That is the entire post.

Taken as the entire post your title thesis is unclear. How are people treated differently in the womb? Robust women will have stronger babies? Maybe some women get beaten while pregnant that impacts the baby, or a woman and baby get exposed to some radiation source. What variation in preborn treatment do you see?

So unequal in utero mistreatment should be followed by unequal mistreatment as a child and throughout life. That certainly happens. If your pregnant mother is a migrant in the forest on the border of Poland, you may die, or grow up in a refugee camp with irregular care and schooling. That is no surprise, but still a complete misfortune. Some alternative outcome should be sought.

  The most glaring difference in the way people are treated in the womb is that some are intentionally killed while others are allowed to live.

    Yes, abortion is mistreatment. How does that relate to mistreatment after birth? The aborted cannot receive further mistreatment.

    Obviously. However, the people who survived the womb can be (and often are) mistreated.
