The Silent Issue

Willian C DeMuth, you are disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

jklmn, Why is it that you must compromise your pro-life convictions in order to improve education, health care...etc???? That makes no sense! Seek to improve those areas to, but that doesn't excuse you from giving license to murder unborn babies.
I give this challenge to all Democratic voters who claim to be pro-life. If you're truly pro-life, then you MUST make sure your political party knows that and understands that you won't continue to be a "blank check" vote for them each election cycle. Be a voice that says "I like you on other issues, but you're way wrong on abortion and this tragegy needs to end!"

When does life begin? Where life is present, growth and development take place. Everyone knows this. Therefore, life begins with the multiplication and division of cells at conception.

Now, why does anyone go to hell? I will let Jesus answer that one: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." (John 3:16-19) and "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6) and "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15) and "whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea." (Mark 9:42)!

For people who claim to "believe" in Christ, you sure don't seem to follow Him or trust and obey His Word!!!! That is HYPOCRITICAL! You want everyone to be tolerant of your view, but refuse to be tolerant of those who disagree with you!!!! All are entitled to their own beliefs, but that does not make their beliefs or opinions legitimate. You may be sincere, but you are sincerely wrong!!! One day you will have to face God, with the blood of the unborn on your hands. Repent, turn from your sin, turn to the Lord Jesus and trust Him, obey His Word, and Love others (including the unborn) as you love yourself!!!! Ask yourself the question, "Do you wish you had been aborted?" If so, you do not know the Lord and His love is not within you!!! Admit your limited understanding, as I have, repent and submit yourself therefore to God before it is eternally too late! My love and prayers go up before the Father for you all!!!

The excuses many use to "justify" their vote for pro-abortion vote or support is shallow if we put it in context with the great evil of our day some 150 years ago--Slavery. Knowing now what you know about the evils of slavery and the great contribution to our society by black americans who were freed from that tyranny imagine your response to someone who said "personally I'm against slavery, but who am I to tell others not to own slaves". Or "It's MY plantation and no one should tell me what to do with it". Or "the slave is my property, so don't tell me what to do with my property". Or "There are many other evils to content with in the 1860's and slavery is just one of many moral issues, so I'm comfortable voting for a Pro-slavey candidate". Or "you anti-slavery folks are pushing your morals on the rest of us".

How would those arguments play out today??? Probably not very good. And yet with the killing of the innocent unborn, those same lame and shallow excuses are being used today to prop up support for the evil of abortion. Perhaps 35 years of this have tired some people out and they want to stop the debate. But let's get to the nitty gritty....we are approaching 50 MILLION dead babies during those 35 years. Try and get your minds around that number...it's astounding and tragic. During that same period and often overlooked, Pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood have made BILLIONS of $$$ through this profitable business of killing the unborn. And ot think they get government money (our taxes) on top of that to spread their immoral agendas. We as pro-lifers have allowed the radical left and the media to make this a "pro-choice" (sounds nice, right?) vs "anti-abortion" (sounds mean, right?) issue. But let's be clear. We are pro-life.....not just "anti-abortion". The difference is important. We're not trying to meddle in women's lives for no reason. We are speaking out for and seeking to protect the other human being involved...the BABY!!! And this point needs to GROW...."it's about the baby, stupid". Pro lifers are a voice for innocent unborn babies who are being killed. Just like with slavery, the dignity and sanctity of human life is on the line. Whether a black slave or an unborn black baby, both deserve rights, freedom, and protection. And just like with the evil of slavery, TRUTH is on the side of the pro-lifers and with God's gracious help, one day we will see true justice and an end to this abomination.

The problem is definition itself. Our legal system generally defines what is there. Contracts all over the country define almost everything discussed within. But the state religion, if you will, takes the preposterous position that the fetus is the property of the mother first and has no relevant definition of himself or herself, or certainly no definition that confers on him or her human rights. While the law does not define what a fetus is, it doesn't matter, because it effectively empowers the mother (maybe in opposition to the father) to place whatever value she wants on the possession within her. She can love and nurture it prenatally and postnatally, or she can treat it as garbage and eliminate it and throw it in a can, showing it has no value at all -- to not only her, but to us, the rest of Americans. What else in our legal system is treated so cavilierly and not defined, as a matter of legal or state policy? This is reminiscent of the Dred Scott decision, perhaps the Supreme Court's low point of all time if Roe v. Wade is not, in which the justices actually said a slave is primarily another's property and only secondarily a human being. How can there be much real movement when one side says the unborn from the time of conception on are children of God fully worthy or our nation's rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and the other side says, it's up to you women to decide whether that which is inside you has any value or no value. In fact, a woman can do both. Imagine a woman who gets pregnant and schedules an abortion because she decides her fetus has no value, but before she can she has a conversion, and sees the fetus as a person worthy of care. This is systematic madness, and I think deep down, everyone knows it it their guts, and so does God.

Jesus said: "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Matthew 7:1).

Does this mean we are never to judge? Certainly not, for Jesus also said: "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment" (John 7:24).
