Tuesday- 45   midnight abortions         IN³, KY, CA, MO, IL             1 save, Teresa 6 weeks pregnant  mother of three already and contemplating killing the fourth child spoke with Angela. “Why shouldn’t I kill it? I have no family support. My family wants to get rid of it.” Angela took her ten month old son out of her arms and fed him his bottle. Teresa was a Christian and Angela spoke to her about God’s plans for her to prosper and not to kill that baby that He has blessed her with. “How can you pick and choose which babies get to live and which die?” After talking to Teresa she canceled her appointment and left the abortion mill.

Friday- 59         OK, IN, WI, MO, IL

Saturday- 72     IN², OK, KY, MO, IL           4 saves, - including Kaceia /Brian 18 weeks pregnant with a boy, on-site ultrasound confirmed. We handed out teddy bears to the mothers and encouraged them to choose life. It was a continual line of mothers signing the death warrants out on their babies. They needed valet parking as the cars piled in. Constant surges of parents killing their children. We haven't seen numbers like this in a while. These must have been holiday babies, concieved between Thanksgiving and New Year's. Approximately 48 of the 72 murdered were black Americans.  Where was the outcry?  This didn't make the headlines of the newspapers, or the evening news.

244 babies were killed. 7 babies saved. 1230 saves since January 2000 and 19 babies have been adopted!

Third week of black history month and it was carried out with the deaths of approximately 140 black babies of the 244 killed in Granite City, Illinois. The only uplift was the fact that almost all seven babies saved of this past week’s carnage were Black Americans. I too, like Martin Luther King Jr., have a dream, but “How can the ‘dream’ survive if we murder the children? Every aborted baby is like a slave in the womb of his or her mother. The mother decides his or her fate.”  Unfortunately the womb has become a tomb; not all, just most. We cannot win as long as we are willing to sacrifice the lives of our children for our own comfort and safety.  If we pilled up these 244 babies in front of the church doors within ears reach of this abortion mill would they care?

In the ongoing travesty of the debate over whether abortion and infanticide should be condoned, a voice in the wilderness continues to cry out, “what about the children?” We have been fueled by the fire of “women’s rights” so long that we have become deaf to the outcry of the real victims whose rights are being trampled upon, the babies and the mothers. We all know there’s only one choice inside the abortion clinic, Tuesday or Thursday? Of course a woman has a right to decide what to do with her own body. But it’s the innocent baby’s body separate from the mother’s body, that is destroyed. The mother also has a right to know the serious consequences and repercussions of making a decision to abort her child. Then too, what about the rights of each baby who is artificially breached before coming to term in his or her mother’s womb, only to have her skull punctured, and feel, yes agonizingly “feel” the life run out of her before she takes her first breath of freedom. What about the rights of these women who have been called to pioneer the new frontiers of the new millennium only to have their lives snuffed out before the calendar even turns?

            Oh, God, what would Martin Luther King, Jr., who dreamed of having his children judged by the content of their characters, do if he’d lived to see the contents of thousands of children’s skulls emptied into the bottomless caverns of the abortionists’ pits?

            It is time for America , perhaps the most blessed nation on earth to lead the world in repentance, and in restoration of life! It’s time to restore personhood to the unborn children, either they are human beings deserving the same rights and full protection as you and I have been provided through the blood of our forefathers or they’re not, and if they’re not human beings then what shall we call them?

          The Dumbing Down of America - What is happening in schools today is deplorable. There are no American heroes, school children do not know about Christianity and the founders of our country. They’re not being taught. Humanism and evolution have taken over Christianity. “The battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classroom…between the rotting corpse of Christianity…and the new faith of humanism.” ~John Dunphy who wrote the 1983 essay “The Humanist”. There is a prejudice against Christians. The very people who clamor for tolerance are completely intolerant of Christians. God is out, yoga is in. The NEA would rather teach our kids how to put condoms on bananas than abstinence. What terribly mixed signals we are sending to our society today. We allow and even encourage them to engage in promiscuous sex. Then when their sin conceives, we pretty much tell them, “Don’t kill your babies, let our abortion facilities do it for you.” We march to cure breast cancer, yet promote one of the biggest contributors. 

 We can no longer sit idly by and allow this horrible spirit of murder to cut down, yes cut out and cut away our unborn, and destroy the lives of our mothers. I am very grateful to God for the Spirit of Repentance. In repentance there is healing. In the name of Jesus we must humble ourselves and pray, and turn from our wicked ways, then God will hear from heaven and heal our land. II Chronicles 7:14

            I can only beseech the powers that be to hearken to the voice of the Lord and remember that human life is sacred. By taking the lives of our young, and wounding the wombs and lives of their mothers, we are filling in the face of God. We are taking His precious gifts and throwing them back in His face and saying, “No thanks!” We cannot play God. If we continue down this path of destruction, we will be met at the gates by our own doom. This is the day to choose life. We must live and allow our babies to live. We must end the pain of post-abortion trauma, so we don’t see the post-abortive women lined-up in the “self help” aisles of the bookstores. If the Dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is to live, our babies must live. Our mothers must choose life. If we refuse to answer the cry of mercy from the unborn, and ignore the suffering of the mothers, then we are signing our own death warrants.

            I too, like Martin Luther King Jr., have a dream. I have a dream that the men and women, the boys and girls of America will come to our senses and humble ourselves before God Almighty and pray for mercy, and receive His healing grace. I pray that this is the day, the hour of our deliverance. May God have mercy on us all.

            It is time for us to stop the incessant whining. Yes, it is time to shut up and engage this enemy on his own turf with the sharp double-edged Sword of the Spirit. We are God’s answer to abortion, homosexuality, Islam, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, teen promiscuity, drugs, teen suicide, violence in the schools and streets, increasingly debauched TV programs and commercials, the liberal media, the Hollywood elite, etc. Oh, the list could go on and on. We Christians are God’s answer! If we are truly the salt of the earth, let’s get out of the salt shaker. Let’s allow the theology of the church house to become biography in the streets. Let’s let the Lion of Judah out of the cage and see for ourselves that He can do a pretty good job defending Himself. ~Flip Benham
