Snow began falling at 4 A.M.
as we packed up the ultrasound van and headed out to the deathcamp in bitter
temperatures. The roads were treacherous. Not even the salt trucks were out
as we crawled along the highway, praying the entire way, "Touch these
mothers hearts." I thought about how willing people are to come out in
this dangerous weather to proclaim the Gospel and to stand in the gap for
these babies and their mothers.
208 babies were killed. 8 babies saved. 1204 saves
since January 2000 and 18 babies have been adopted!
"Pro-choice"
advocates are for the power of choice. But more than half of the women who
have had abortions have not done so by their own choice.
Abortion is the only surgical
procedure for which a physician is not required to tell his patients of the
dangerous complications involved in the surgery, or even the truth about
what it is he is doing- removing a baby, not a lump of tissues.
The head of one of the largest
pro-life organizations in this country told about speaking to a number of
doctors and asking them this question: "Do you realize that you are
killing a baby in abortion?" He said every one of them got mad. Why?
Because they didn’t believe that it was a baby? Absolutely not. They knew
precisely what they were doing. They were upset because this man assumed
they were so ignorant that they didn’t know what they were doing.
Abortionists know what they’re doing; they just don’t want the women
to know what they are doing.
Abortion is based upon
ignorance. It’s no coincidence that the word fetus is constantly
used. Abortionists insist on translating the word baby from the
vernacular into Latin, fetus, so people won’t know what’s
going on. Deception is essential for the abortion industry.
Some people say, "Well,
I’m personally opposed to abortion, but I can’t impose my values on
other people." Wait a minute, suppose Abraham Lincoln had that view as
president. "My fellow Americans, I am personally opposed to slavery and
would never own a slave," he would have said. "However, I cannot
impose my values on others. If others choose to own slaves, that, of course,
is their prerogative." Abraham Lincoln took a firm, moral stand for
that which was right.
What about the choice of
evolution or creationism? The same "pro-choice" group, led by the
ACLU, says, "Oh no, students must not choose between the two theories.
They must be force-fed evolution and nothing else." How pro-choice is
that? The only choice these pro-choice advocates are in favor of seems to be
the choice of sin and death.
Think of the irony of the term
pro-choice as it applies to abortion. Those who use it promote only
one choice- the choice of abortion. By eliminating other choices, such as
adoption or keeping the baby, they show that they really aren’t pro-choice
after all. Allowing only one choice automatically disqualifies you
from being truly pro-choice.
A woman has a right to control
her own body. A woman doesn’t have the right to kill her body. That is a
crime. The most important thing to remember is the baby is not a part
of a woman’s body. Every single cell in the mother’s body has the same
set of forty-six chromosomes, exactly the same genes- except the baby, who
has an entirely different set of chromosomes and genes. The baby makes his
or her own placenta, umbilical cord, and nest. The baby also has his or her
own blood supply, and in 50 percent of the cases, the baby is a different
sex.
The baby is not a part of a
woman’s body. However, the baby is dependent upon her.
Pro-abortionists say, "Well, as long as the baby is dependent upon the
mother, she should have the right to kill it." May I remind you that a
baby who is six hours or six months old is also totally dependent upon his
or her mother. Leave the baby alone for a couple of weeks, and he will be
dead. Shall we kill the babies because they are dependent upon their
mothers? How about old people who are dependent upon nurses and their
children? Have they also lost the right to live?
Rape, incest, and the life of
the mother together make up less than 2 percent of all abortions. Yet they
give rise to 98 percent of the rhetoric about abortion. Let’s get
rid of the 98 percent of abortions, and then we’ll talk about this 2
percent. In the Bible, when somebody was raped, the rapist was put to death.
Today, as we have seen repeatedly, the guilty rapists frequently get their
wrists slapped or get off scot-free while the only incontestably innocent
person, the unborn baby, is killed. The innocent party is killed and the
rapist often goes free. Less than 1 percent of all abortions are due to the
threat of danger to the mother’s life.
For decades, on average about 1.5 million babies a year in this country
were aborted. At the same time, two million couples were looking for babies
to adopt. Many adoption agencies have had to close down because of a lack of
babies. They are all in the incinerator. Some childless couples have had to
wait five to ten years to get a baby.
The
"every-child-a-wanted-child" proponents say that children will be
abused if they are not wanted, and they won’t be abused if they are
adopted by people who do want them. Yet studies have shown that the
vast majority of children who are abused were wanted and planned.
Since we have destroyed about
fifty million unwanted children, child abuse should have virtually
disappeared from America. Yet it is epidemic in our time. We have destroyed
children by the millions in the womb, and we are now moving toward
destroying them after they are born. We have, in fact, become much more
violent as a culture since the legalization of abortion in the early 1970s.
The rate of violent crime has increased, and a recent headline proclaimed,
"FBI Report Shows Rise in Crime Rate." How many violent crimes
were there last year? There were 1.4 million, about as many as the normal
rate of abortions reported in America. Surely, human life has become much
cheaper in America than it was in 1973.
Mother Teresa said, "And
if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell
others not to kill one another?"
Thirty years ago, many of us
throughout the country were saying that legalized abortion was the first
step down a slippery slope that could lead to infanticide, suicide,
euthanasia, and, of course, the final stop at the end of that path-
genocide. *
We should never forget that
before Adolph Hitler ever killed a single Jew, he murdered 275,000
handicapped people. First, abortion was prevalent in Germany for over twenty
years. Then there was infanticide, the killing of babies. And then there was
the destruction of handicapped adults. Some pro-abortionists argue that
Hitler was opposed to abortion. That’s only partially true. He opposed
abortion for Aryans, but he supported and in some cases force abortions for
non-Aryans: Jews, Gypsies, and Slaves.
With almost fifty million aborted babies gone from our population, there
just aren’t going to be enough people on the workforce to provide Social
Security for today’s adults when they reach retirement age. The generation
that killed their unborn children will, in turn, be killed by the children
they failed to kill.
How ironic it is when
this past week we remembered the liberation of a horrible event in our
world’s history where atrocities took place. Over 1.5 million were
murdered 60 years ago behind the cinder blocks of a deathcamp known as
Auschwitz and the terrible atrocities would be repeated 28 years later,
founded on a lie, fueled with oppression with a vengeance. History is
repeating itself. You need only walk down and stand in front of the local
American Family Extermination Camp, the Auschwitz of today to see the truth
of abortion. It is happening all over again. Those who cannot remember the
past are condemned to repeat it.
We will never win when we sacrifice babies for our personal
comfort and safety!
Joshua 24: 14-15
"Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the
gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve
the LORD. But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for
yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your
forefathers served beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose
land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the
LORD ."
