Words Mean Something, Especially When We're Talking About Abortion

0:00 I Am Yours, I am yours, I am yours. Send Me. Lord. Welcome to the Gospel Center per life podcast and this episode we're going to talk about words, the words that we use when we're talking to an abortion minded mom, the words that we use when we're talking about abortion who believe the words in this podcast will be a blessing to you, so stay tuned. I felt show passish, touch your heart. Use Guys. Welcome to the Gospel Center per life podcast. Appreciate you, guys joining us. Appreciate all you guys who share this podcast. We encourage you to do that.

0:43 We're going to talk today about words and that words mean something and, of course, in particular when we're dealing with the issue of abortion, the language that we use, the words that we use, can have an impact, a good positive impact or a bad negative impact. All right, and we well know, if you've been in this area of ministry for any time, you who are listening, you well know that the quote pro choice movement knows this as well. Right and their language with plan parenthood and and other you know, the abortion industry in general. They craft language in such a way a right that makes it seem like abortion is just healthcare. Yeah, matter of fact, they say that abortion is healthcare rights, one of the thing reproductive health care. Yeah, so we're going to talk about that.

1:30 We're also going to talk about how we as as ministers of the Gospel, but as prolife ministers as well, ministers of life, the language that we use and how that language can be received or even rejected by those that were trying to reach because of the words that we use. Right, right, we need to be very careful with words. While we were thinking about doing this podcast, in this this subject, I was in an extended text exchange with a mother who was on the fence between choosing life or aborting her child. Yeah, and I was very conscious of the words I was using. And after a while she kind of went silent, which is usually not a good sign. And then a couple of days later, I wrote to her, offering help again, and she responded the pregnancy is terminated. Yeah, and it really struck me. I wanted to write back, do you mean that your baby is dead, that you have killed your baby? I wouldn't have, and I didn't, but that is what happened. But the the words that she used made it seem like, you know, a job is terminated or or you know, the the dishes are done, the pregnancy is terminated. It was such a cold and sterile sort of it's the language of the abortion industry, is yeah, and that's intentional. The abortion industry knows

3:04 that the more terminology and words that they would use that would humanize that baby, right, the less likely women are going to be to come to them and have abortions pay for their healthcare. Yeah, reproductive services. Yeah, yeah, I mean, come on, I'm going to rabbit trail on this, right, but reproductive health care, abortion is exactly the opposite of reproduction. Reproduction, the word reproduce implies that you're that something else is being created in the milt produced. Yes, and that's exactly the opposite that which has already been produced by the hand, by the hand of God. Yeah, and through the active intercourse, that baby is being killed. It's not reproduction, it's the opposite anyway. Yeah, and health. Well, health is usually that you're saving and enhancing someone's life, not taking life. That so I went through some of the words that are prominent in the abortion movement.

4:04 So, so one of the words abortion, let's talk about that. Okay, portion itself, the word abortion. What's an abortion? I mean most people outside of who are doing abortions really it's not a word. To use abortion a and it it in and of itself sanitizes what is a horrific, violent either poisoning or dismember me dismemberment, death of an unborn child. Yeah, but so the word itself, abortion distances the mother and everybody from the truth of what is actually yeah, yeah, or even that term termination of a pregnancy, right. Yeah, you know, when you think about the word abortion, I mean if you go to its root, and of course the word is abort right, and it's stoppinging a process, right, process that's in place. It's stopping that process. Now, the process, of course, in this situation is pregnancy, right, and that's another word.

5:09 People in the Abortion Industry Plan parenthood. They use the word pregnancy to apply to the baby. We're going to take care of your pregnancy, right, we're going to remove the pregnancy. Right. Well, pregnancy is not a thing. I actually say this this often, yes, as I'm talking to women at the abortion center, talking to men, and say pregnancy is not a thing, it's a process and abortion stops that process. Of pregnancy. Yeah, but you know, if you think about it, I mean thinking about the word abortion, they're actually two ways to abort a pregnancy. You can kill your child in the womb, dismemberment or a medical abortion, or you can deliver your baby, I mean delivery of a child. Your child being born terminates the pregnancy. That's right. So it's not abortion, but check to termination of pregnancy, is what you're saying. And one one very positive and one very horrific. Yeah, how about just the Word Clinic?

6:05 Yeah, abortion clinic. So what does clinic say to us? Well, it seems helpful. It seems like it's there to meet our needs, medical needs and that sort of thing. Doctors who are there to improve life. Yeah, well, so this is something I mentioned to you before we started this podcast. But yes, some of the language that we use, because there is a lingo, I guess, associated with with any I guess niche or whatever. I don't know what word to use there. Yeah, and we have a lingo on the sidewalk and within our circles. We refer to the abortion clinics as abortion mills. That's an abortion meal. And why do we do that? It's because they produce abortions. They and they do it without really you know, you think of a meal, you think of they just produce a product without really regard to anything but just producing that product.

7:00 And that's what abortion is, especially the one not far from here on the trope drive, when they're doing, we just came from there today, forty seven, more than probably more, probably more than forty seven one day abortions. Yeah, yeah, that's an abortion mill. So it's a factory. It's a factory of babies, that abortions, killing by children. Yeah, right. So we refer to it in our circles as an abortion meal. Yeah. Now, when I'm sharing, though, publicly on social media, if I go share at a church or something like that, people who aren't in this realm, right, that I want to bring into this realm, like I want them to come into this ministry. I want them to see the validity of this ministry, in the necessity of this ministry, I don't use the term abortion meal, right. I actually will use the term abortion clinic or abortion center. Yeah, now I do try to steer clear of abortion clinic so much because I don't want to validate it, because it's not a clinic, because when you think of clinic, you think of healthcare and really helping people and doctors that actually do good things. Yeah, but I do that and I use that term and knowledge and I steer clear of abortion meal so that people aren't, you know, just wondering what are you even talking about? You know, you're speaking your lingo and they don't really understand what you're talking about. Yeah, right. So just to avoid all that, I just use abortion center, right, or abortion clinic, but I might talk about it being an abortion meal and then explain that. You know, I think it's important for us, if we're going to use terms that people don't normally connect with, that we take time to explain those terms,

8:31 because terms and big words sometimes can make people pause and think about that. Right, but I think it's up to US sometimes to explain those words. So, for example, if I'm at the abortion meal and I'm calling out to a mom who obviously doesn't know the Lord, I want to share the Gospel, right, I want her to know the Lord, and I'm going to talk about repentance and I'm going to talk about sin and I will use the word fornication, I will talk about sex outside of marriage and I'll show when uses anymore. I M Biblical word and we just don't hear it much any it's not a popular word. Su Sure. Yeah, and I do that actually intense right, because I think that it it's maybe for some people it's a archaic word or whatever. Yeah, but I do it and then I explain it. So I'll say something like, you know, the Bible says that fornication is sin inside of God, and I'll say fornication is sex outside of marriage. So then I'm bringing a word into the equation to help them to think about it and then I'm explaining that word. Because if it's just say fornication is wrong, yeah, where I just say repent. So if I use the word repent, which we should, it's a biblical word.

9:37 Yeah, I will say. So you need to repent. That means you need to turn away from your sin and turn to the Lord, right, right. Yeah, yeah, and I think that word has kind of a bit of a shock value because it's just so acceptable, yeah, today's society, that everybody does it. Everybody has sex outside of marriage. So, but if you apply a word that clearly God meant it in a negative way, yeah, then I think it and most people have read the Bible, at least here in this area, and they they might look at it a little bit differently. Yeah, it. How about just the word pill? Yeah, that it's an abortion pill. So what do you think of when you think of pill? Yeah, you know, you think of I think kind of a quick fix, yeah, to your situation. You know, you got a headache, Hey, you take a head but it's a life saving right, it will, it relieves undesirable symptoms and and it and in some cases it saves lives. We take pills, medicine, whatever they want to coronavirus medicine, pills, something that will, that will lend this this pandemic. Yeah, and course, again it speaks of healthcare and a helpful thing, right, most of the time. Yeah, but of course, in this case, right, we're not really talking about as far as the abortion peel is concerned, it's really not an abortion peel. It's actually an abortion pill regiment. Right, they give to medications. Yeah, and I do take time to explain that. You know, we have in our brochure that we hand out to people going into the abortion center the abortion pill

11:07 procedure and describes it and how it works. Yeah, because again, it's not you. I'll say that on microphone. Sometimes I'll say that. You know, this is not just the magic peel that you take, your baby disappears. You going with your right, right, but it's also an act of violence. Yeah, and the medication that you take is going to kill your child and then the second medication that they give you to take it home, you're going to deliver your dead baby in the toilet, and pretty violently, with pretty violent conection. Anyone is out there listening, you've seen the unplanned movie and it really graphically shows is how an abortion pill procedures carried through. Yeah, that is the reality of it. Yeah. Yeah, so that word pill makes it seem like any see and it's yeah, it's no big deal, I'm going to take this peel. I just taking the peel right. Yeah, and yeah, it sanitizes it. Yeah, than exact.

11:54 makes it seem like something it's not as bad as actually is. Yeah, even the word pro choice, we've talked about that. The word pro pro choice. It's a pro where. Really, what they're saying is is we see very clearly that they're not supportive of the choice for life. They do everything in their power to prevent the MOM's from choosing life in that at least in that parking lot and where we're standing on the sidewalk. So it's really it's a choice for the murder of an innocent unborn baby. But you never hear that. They don't say that. You know, one of the things I've said pro choice people and to, you know, the MOMS going into the abortion center when I think it's appropriate. Yeah, is the word choice. You know, you're here because you want to exercise your right of choice. You're right to choose. There are the word choice itself implies the availability of more than one option. If you only have one option, you don't have choice. Yeah, and in an abortion center and an abortion clinic, clinic, in an abortion meal. Yeah, they're not offering other options right. I mean they're not laying out a brochure and says, okay, you can choose adoption, you can choose to part your child are you can choose abortion. They're not doing that right. And you know you wouldn't expect them to write because they make money. All there. Its children at it that right. And so choice IMPLAUSI. Availability of more than one option.

13:22 But we all know when people say their pro choice. We are they talking about? Yeah, we're talking about abortion. Their pro abortion, right, right. That's the reality of it. And of course they claim that we're just pro birth. Yeah, I mean I'm fine with that term. I'm pro birth. Yeah, I'm I'm glad you're born, Vicky. I'm glad I was born. I'm even glad there's those pro abortion people were born, you know, but we're pro you, pro you living beyond birth to yeah, I mean, that's that's all just a bunch. Yeah, yea, so many of the people that accompany the abortion patients. I don't actually that's another one. Patient. Yeah, patient. Well, they're not patients. Their clients may be clients that, you know, contributing to the murder of their own child, but they're really not. Yeah, patients. Patients are someone who have some sort of disease, right, that needs help clearing it up, and pregnancy is not a disease, it is a normal process.

14:16 Yeah, actually had somebody on facebook. I think I might have put a quote out there, not a quote, but a post out there on facebook, on our public facebook page, share in how many abortion patients were in there. And you know, I use that word because people know what you're talking about, and they correct me said these are not patience, these are aboarding moms. Yeah, exactly, and I was like, you know what, yeah, you're right. Yeah, and so moving forward I'm kind of doing the best I can, because that's what these are, aboarding mom they're there other people that are here to kill their children. So the people that comment, that accompany them, are called support people, support support people, and in fact, I love this that you said this. I believe it was last week, and I just loved it and it's so perfect for what we're discussing now, where one of the support people said you were eloquently speaking to him about he needed to go in there and help this woman to make a godly choice and to preserve that baby and to really help that woman because abortion is so devastating to women as well. And the man said, look, I'm I'm not the father, I'm just here for moral support. Moral support. Think about that, and which you pointed out so wonderfully. Well, you know, if you're here for moral support, there has to be something moral they are supporting. Yeah, and the death of an innocent human being through brutal violment means is not moral. Yeah, and anybody immoral.

15:43 It's very immoral. I think that's what you said to him. This isn't im moral. Support is is basically so. The word, though, the word that even these people that accompany the women trying to make them feel it's okay for them to be there right in whatever capacity, or support person in her. So you are. That's a positive or positive thing. You're holding them up in their time of need. But really, what they are they're an accessory. They're an accessory to murder and God will call them to account. Yeah, for their part in that. I had a mom last week actually, who she chose life and one of her relatives was aboarding and she was paying for it, right, and she knew that it was wrong and she was there. She had chosen like purpose. She was coming to support the heather. Well, they they came together and and one of them stopped to talk to me. Okay, shows life. And while we're counseling her, the nurse comes to get the payment for the relative who was aboarding and we did our best to try and talk this mom, who chose life, out of being an accessory to murder, and she kept saying, I'm just I can't, I have to support my sister. Yeah, so that words support, that it's considered support, when really, what are you doing?

17:03 You're helping someone to murder a baby. And words matter. I think a good analogy or something that people can connect with, and I use it often times if I'm talking to US support person who's just there to support their friend. Right, I'll say something like well, if they were at the bar and had a little too much of drink and they got their keys in their hand and are walking toward the door to get in their car and drop down the road, would you support them? Yeah, because if you didn't do something to stop them, if you just ignored that, or if you hopped in the car with them, right, and someone got killed, you would be an accessory. Right, you could be tried and you could be convicted. Yeah, for not helping your friend do the right thing. Yeah, you're culpable, you know. Or you know, if your friend told you, Hey, I want to get rob this bank, would you ride along with me? Right, if you hop in the car with them, you might not do any of the robbing, you might be you might even be opposed to it, and you talking to him the whole way. Hey, I don't want you to rob this bank, but you're involving in that.

18:04 You're being in that vehicle, even driving the getaway car. Its hearty agreement to that right. So they are an accessory to that. Now, of course, words do mean something and with our language and with the tone that we use, in the way that we speak, we're not just out there on the sidewalk lamb basting everyone. Right, you're all bunch of wicked accessories to murder. When we're given a one on one opportunity, we use those words and we want it the conviction, the Holy Spirit to come because ultimately, you mean, you can yell as loud as you want, you use all the words you want. Ultimately, of the Holy Spirit doesn't convict them, there's no change going to take place. So we're trusting in the Lord and we're trusting in God's timing. We're trusting in God's ability to reach their hearts. But we do need to be truthful with our language. We need do need to be calculated with the language that we use so that people don't let themselves because people will use language in their own minds to let themselves off the hook. Right, we can't do that. Yeah, and they do it with the word feed is for there's many, many words for baby.

19:02 Fetus is one that's that's kind of funny in a way because feet is just means little one. It's Latin for little one. It's not like it's saying in some way fetus is not baby, right, but it makes them feel better because you're not saying baby. But one of my least favorite, why? I have two least favorite one is just station calling the baby a jest. Station. Yeah, that to me. I don't know. That one bothers me a lot. And the second one that bothers me a lot that you hear in the abortion industry is product of conception, right, yeah, the product of conception. That's half a product of conception. Party for for the the pregnant conception shower, right, exactly, in products of conception shower.

19:47 You know these MOMS when they find out they're pregnant, your moms who were excited about their babies. Right, don't put out there, Hey, I have a product of conception, might be a girl or boy. Right, what do you think? We're going to have? A yeah, GIN to reveal fromm probably from station. Product of conceptive, the word I hate. Yeah, Watch, I mentioned earlier, is pregnancy, your pregnancy. We're going to take care, we're going to remove your pregnancy. No, you're not. That's it's not a pregnancy, it's a baby. In any other scenario, yeah, I've said this to a boarding mother's in any other scenario, if you were excited about this baby, you wouldn't refer to it as a pregnancy. Doesn't matter how early you are, you would say I'm having a baby. You know, you recommend that. The moment that you find out it's a baby. It's not like, well, this, this is just its ego to or blasticider, you just don't say that that was say it. It's unless you're trying to avoid certain realities, you're going to recognize it's a baby when you see those two lines on that pregnancy test.

20:44 You didn't think, Oh, I'm carrying a pregnancy, I have just station you know, I've got a projecty of conception or a fetus, so have a baby. I'm a mother exactly. And that kind of brings us. Brings me to this other thault and the words that we use when we're addressing the women going into the abortion center. We do say, young lady, please come over and talked with us. We call me a young lady. were, of course, kind and gentle in our tone, but we call a mom's also. Yeah, we say my mom, go in there and take the life of your baby, because that's the reality, right. Are Mother's yeah, exactly, and it's not like we're trying to just reduce them to mother's which is something I've heard people say. It is that we are pointing out. This is there, there as a mother about to slaughter their child, and the reminder you are a mother. That alone can sometimes have value and power. Yeah, you're a mother. Yeah, because the truth is that she is a mother at the moment of conception. Yeah, yeah, you know, a mother is a female, yeah, who has offspring.

21:52 Yeah, right. Yeah, she has in her womb offspring, she has a child, yeah, her baby, her son or daughter, and that baby has gender. It's either a he or she rather than an it. Yeah, so we're very conscious about using gender specific he or she, your son or your yeah, rather than referring to the baby as as it. You know who. I'll share this testimony at some point. I won't get into any length. Maybe we'll have this young lady on. Okay, the young lady who had put a post out on facebook and also put it out in our blog about the young lady who, you know, I thought was actually going into a board after we had talked to her and I said please, don't do this, and she turned around and said I'm going in for a refunds if she got her money back. I mean, awesome, the Lord just moves. She got on, went on the mobile unit after having been in the in the abortion center. She went on the mobile unit, gave her life to the Lord. Her and her mother actually came back that next Friday, wow and gave brought me a gift basket in a car to saying thank you for being a voice that was there. And her mother actually was talking about the baby and she used the word is. She said, yeah, it's going to be such a blessing. And she said, wait a minute, I shouldn't say the word it. Oh, even she bet, even she recognized it. Even she recognized sometimes in our regular common language we might use the word it referring to the baby in the womb because you don't know whether it's a boy or girl, which he even caught herself sit. I didn't refer to our baby as ant. You my grandchild,

23:23 isn't it? That's my grand baby. Yeah, yeah, it's yes, I'm story. Yeah, and another word that we use a lot is blessing, and that's the positive what a child is. They are in less seen and throughout the Bible every child is described as a blessing. Yeah, but the the negative, the words that are used in the abortion industry and from the mothers themselves is that this is a problem, right, yeah, or if cold, situation or condition. Yeah, and sometimes just shifting the focus is not a negative one. It doesn't need to be a negative one. Yeah, and that that baby is a blessing. So one of the things that I did that was really, I think, illuminating, is going to the website of the abortion center, okay, and and looking at some of the abortion center here on the tree, abortion center here Charlotte. Right.

24:18 So that there's so many and I won't hit every one of them, but one of the line said we believe every woman should have control of her life and her personal decisions. So I'm reading that and that sounds wonderful. That's true. You know, you should have control of your life in your personal decision. But this is what they mean. That they're not saying. What they truly mean is every mother should be able to murder their own child without anyone else telling her it is wicked, evil, unnatural or wrong. Yeah, that now, if they wrote that, if a doubt, that would be very well received by their client tail. Probably not. I probably would lower the rates at which they were able to make money off of killing children.

25:00 Private appointment, private appointment. That sounds good, that that's a private they offer a private appointment. So what that is in actuality is a scheduled time when mothers would be able to get away with murdering their unborn child with the utmost secrecy for an increased cost. Yeah, but it's called a private appointment, which sounds very yeah, wonderful, it does. So, and and there's so much we won't get into all of them. But they, they, it's called reproductive healthcare instead of the brutal murder, yeah, of an unborn baby. They have counselors there who are said to be sincere, caring women who are committed to helping each individual patient complete their treatment. treatment.

25:51 Yeah, okay, treatment. What is treatment? I mean treatment, you think. Okay, if you're having a treatment, that you have a condition. Of course, that's plays right into the whole thing. Pregnancy is a condition, right, as far as these people are concerned. Yeah, but yeah, so it sounds like treating a condition. It sounds like dealing with a condition. And this treatment is not the brutal murder order of an unborn baby. This is, you know, it's a treatment. Yes, the termination of a pregnancy. It's the removal of the product of conception. And get this, this kills me helping to complete their treatment with the best possible emotional, physical and spiritual outcome. Wow, that's on the abortion center website, that this treatment the killing of an unborn child created by God in his image. That treatment will be carefully completed for the best optimal spiritualcome.

26:53 Yeah, which is blasphemy, lashman's Bologny. Yeah, I mean, goodness, abortion, as far as spiritually concerned, destroys women. Yeah, I mean we know, we've heard the testimonies, we've seen people coming out of that abortion clinic, just spiritually, emotionally, physically, yeah, just Straw. Yeah, this is not. I mean abortion is a spiritual thing, just like sacrificing a goat to the devil is a spiritual thanks, right, I mean this is yeah, it's a satanic thing. Yes, the destruction of an unborn child, image bearer of Almighty God. Yeah, you know.

27:33 So that gets into some of the terminology as far as the scripture is concerned. When we look scripturally what the Bible describes the Unborn Child Ass. You know, we have terms like in someone thirty nine, you knit me together in my mother's womb. I mean what, what's the implications of those words when you think about me it together? Yeah, yeah, there's purposeful design and care and intricacy. Yeah, yeah, intricacy, purpose, even destiny. Love, yeah, love, care, fearfully and wonderfully made is in that same Oh, yes, some, right. So then you have terms like if fearfully wonderfully made, wonderful, it goes on to say in that Psalm and I love I love preaching about that song. Yeah, because there's so many good words in there, the best words. Yeah, marvelous are your works. Yeah, and that my soul knows real well that word marvelous. Yeah, when I think of it, I think of the Grand Canyon, I think of the God's creation, I think of looking at an ultrasound image of a baby in the womb and and marvel at the handiwork of God. Yeah, your mouth drops open, you're astounded. Right, and that's the words that the scripture uses concerning the child, that the abortion industry uses, words like you, product of conception and treatment, and condition, like pregnancies, a condition. Word of God uses these rich, powerful, life filled or right, like wonderful, like marvelous, like knit. Another

29:07 word in that Psalm, and some one hundred and thirty nine is you covered me. Ever here be thought about that word. You covered me in my mother's WOM. You know, a couple of years ago I was meditating on that Psalm and just meditating on what does that mean? You covered me in my mother's WOM and it really means it speaks of the involvement of God. So David is the psalmist there and he's talking about how God he know. He starts the Psalm saying God, you know when I sit down and when I rise up, you know my thoughts from afar, you know all my days before even one of them came to pass. And so he's talking about how God knows him and loves him and has plans for him. And then he takes it, of course, from just being outside the womb, being on the earth. He's talking about being inside the women. He said you covered me, means you were involved, you were concerned protecting you. You cover me now, but you covered me w while I was my mother's way back then. Yeah, and the moment of conception. So you know, scripturally, words means something. Yeah, words like what we talked about earlier, about fornication and repentance. And then, of course those are, I don't say negative words, they're meant to bring about negative connotations and ultimately positive change. Right, but then again, you have these life giving words and you have the word like gift. Children are a gift to your children.

30:27 Some thirty or one, twenty seven children are a heritage. Yeah, from the Lord less. It is he whose quivers full. So, yeah, we ever full is presented as a joy. where? How many people with large families find that? People chastise the Oh yeah, yeah, and they're my wife has come to me and that just been, I don't know, offended probably not the right word, but distraught, whatever it's like. Yeah, you know, is that the store and everybody's looking at me. I had all the kids with me, she don't normally take all the kids to the store, but yeah, we have eight kids, by the way, for those who are listening right. And so she's walking through the store and she's all these people are looking at her. You know, she even had people ask of them. And if any of you guys are listening that have large families, you probably going to ask this. Are All these kids you're you know, are they all from the same any poor thing or whatever?

31:15 Yeah, thing, bless your horn. Yeah, and one person even asked her. Actually, a couple of people best your they all from the same father as like, okay, words mean something and you need to put those words back in your mouth. That's ridiculous, but I encourage your one time I said, you know what, imagine everybody's looking at you funny, whatever. Imagine you're walking through the store and you've got a cart full of money and everybody's looking at you funny, and they're looking at you strange because you're pushing a cart full of money and they all wanted. Well, they may be looking at you funny because they think you're flouting your money or whatever. Who knows why they're looking at you funny, but are you really going to care. Right, you got a cart full of money. Right. Well, according to the word of God and the word that God's uses, children are a blessing or a heritage from the right. When you're pushing a cart full of kids through the store, you're pushing more than a cartful of money, you're pushing a car full of blessing. So you know again, God's Word Affirms Certain truths that we need to grab a hold of. Hey, and in words do mean something and as we use really and as the as the language goes. I heard this, I think, from Albert Molar just a few weeks ago, a couple weeks ago. As the language goes, thus goes the culture. And so you think about expanding beyond the pro pro life, but just things like the word gay to describe homosexuality. It's there's a very different picture when you hear the word gay first when it first came out. It gay is happy, joyful, whatever, and and it was a way to to make homosexuality very unaccepted back then when it first came out.

32:52 Yeah, and and to change how people would look at that. And and that's what's happening big time in the abortion industry. Is the words are being used to make our culture believe that this is an innocuous and even a good yeah, yeah, and it's a sad reality. So guys it. We won't encourage you. You know again, words mean something, words have value to them. We need to be intentional about the words that we use. Yeah, we don't, of course, need to be nasty when we're communicating with people, but we do need to be clear, are as articulate as possible. Yeah, we need to be biblical, you know, when we're using terminology and now, it doesn't mean we need to be like super lofty in our speech, but if we do use, and I think we should use, biblical language. Yeah, like I mentioned the example of using the word fornication and then explain those words, explain what those words mean, the word repentance, and then explain what that word means. So, as we're standing for life, as we're standing for truth, it's also contend for the words that we use. Yeah, contend for the truths that are embodied in those words. And as the Lord obviously to help us. When you're reaching out at an abortion clinic, you've got fifteen seconds. Well, at least we do. Yeah, the most scenarios. Yeah, from their car to the door, when they're walking down the sidewalk, everywhere it can got.

34:15 Yeah, everywhere, gaster, she seconds. Yeah, every word counts. Yeah, he said every word matters. Yeah. So we need to be intentional, which is, you know, part of part of what we do in our trainings and stuff like that. Right, part of what we're doing on the sidewalks for life site is trying to teach people, yeah, how to speak, how to be effective. Some folks have this mentality of add an abortion clinic. We need to steer away from words like murder. Hey, just your away from talking about God. Even. That's not what we found at all. We found that your best method is to be graciously forthright, like you don't need to be around the bush. If woman's there for an abortion, ask her, are you here from an abortion? Don't talk about the weather, don't talk about the way. You don't time man or what do you know? Don't time that baby's on its way to destruction.

35:04 Yeah, and you've got to bring truth into the equation. Right and again, you do it graciously. I don't think it's effective. I actually I know it's not effective. Just be yelling abortion is murder of the whole time. Right, but it is effective to bring that word into the equation. Yeah, to talk about the fact that abortion is murder. Yeah, I think, certainly in the eyes of God. Yeah, there's just en nothing. Talking about that word and breaking that word down when you have an opportunity to an abortion minded woman is a powerful way to show her the reality of what she's doing. Right, but we need the Lord's help, right. Yeah, God always. Yeah, we need God's help to help us to bring clarity in the situations. I hope this podcast is help you guys a little bit with words. I hope this has been a blessing. Hope all the podcasts are blessing to you. Let us know. Let us know that this podcast was a blessing to you. Let us know if you have ideas for future podcast. We're going to do one in the next couple of weeks about adoption. Yeah, that'd be esome. Yeah, and talking about adoption, I get. I mean in the past month we've gotten messages through facebooks or public facebook page about, you know, my family, we really want to adopt. Is there any chance you can connect us with an abortion minded mom at the abortion center that we can adopt her child. And, yeah, I've personally gotten too yes, yeah, I've gotten a bunch.

36:20 And so we're going to talk a little bit about how we mention adoption. Yeah, at the abortion centers, and when it's appropriate and it's not appropriate. You know, listen, guys, there are some inappropriate times to mention adoption. There are sometimes that a adoption can be a non starter in a conversation, can even be the deal breaker. Ah, yeah, what sends them running in? Yeah, I've had conversations stop writing their tracks I mentioned the word adoption and a woman going to the abortion center who would otherwise continue to engage. Anyway. We're going to talk about that in the coming weeks with Jessica Moline. Hopefully we'll be able to pin her down. She's with option, adoption, but we hope you guys are blessed with this podcast.
