I hear these words a lot in referring to abortion, but just so it’s clear, God used these words first and they did not refer to murdering infants but to our choice for our eternal destiny.

God gives us the choice and it is up to us to make the right one. Notice that the verse shows that God yearns for us to choose life, not just for us but for our descendants that follow us. Our choices make a difference, not only for us, but for those who come behind us.
