Just a great, to the point, no holds barred post here. Enjoy

Let’s not be on the wrong side of history. I say this because I like to hope that some future people who descend from us will have rediscovered the moral compass, learned to honor objective justice, found the Truth. If so, they will look back at us and be appalled at our indolence, our indifference in the face of genocidal baby slaughter.
There can be no escape for us as a people. Multiplied millions of murdered children cannot go unanswered by the conscience of any possible belief system. Only an utter nihilist could deny that the scales will ultimately be balanced and we will be found wanting. A universe which assigns no meaning and passes no judgment upon endless human carnage is an absurd nightmare.
The activities of Planned Parenthood are completely indefensible. If we cannot purge this corporate atrocity from our society, we do not deserve to call ourselves civilized, moral, or even good humans.
I do realize that all abortions are not chosen in as careless a manner as PP advocates that they should be. It may be, for many women, that all available medical advice was to terminate and try again. They may have grieved terribly over having to lose a child they wanted…Or they may have aborted for more elective reasons but felt unaccountably uncomfortable about it after. I realize that there are many women who were urged to abort for what seemed like unarguable reasons.
That’s the problem. If the default of our society is to err on the side of death in order to solve our problems, and women are confronted with life-and-death decisions when they are at their most vulnerable…death becomes the predetermined result.
Then all those women, as well as their children, become victims of opportunistic corporate interests, and the aggrandizement of relentless political interests. The best and most well-meaning solution that such a society can offer is death as panacea.
Such a value system is inadequate to meet the needs of real life. In real life, unexpected stuff happens, lives are in danger, less than perfect decisions have to be made. If the overarching goal in the face of the unexpected is to get back to our comfort and our plans, no matter what the damage, those decisions will be brutal.
We need cultural change. We need to be honest enough to admit what is clearly before us. We need to value Truth. We need to be willing to call evil, evil; and good, good. We need to be a culture which values all human life and devalues none.
When difficult situations come, as they will, our impulse ought to be an honest search for a solution which protects and honors all involved. Our default should not be death for the defenseless ones.

Somehow, we need to cultivate empathy for the pre-born and children in general. We don’t value or respect our children as we should. Too many children who do manage to survive the womb, face a childhood of abuse. We have to do better.

Sigh…so true Pam. We don’t do kids so good. You know, In my work I see tons and tons of kids. Every house in America has them. Sad how some live, you can just tell nobody really cares by the way they even talk to them.

It’s an epidemic where I live, they’ve run out of places to put kids that should be removed from their homes. I know a lot of it is drugs and alcohol but it also, seems deeper than that. Whether abortion is legal or not there is something really wrong when so many women can rationalize murdering their unborn child simply, because it was conceived at an inconvenient time.

You know, that raises an interesting point Pam. I know many of these babies were conceived due to sin and basic irresponsibility; I totally get that. But, that doesn’t negate the fact that some of these women simply cannot raise and support a child, no matter how it came to be. I wonder if we as Christians would do better with our opposition to abortion if we were willing to put our money where our mouth is?
Now, don’t misunderstand I am totally, totally, totally anti abortion. It’s murder plain and simple.
I have taken to asking people in my circle…”OK..fine. Glad you hate abortion. How many babies will you take in to save them?”

Certainly , not everyone is in a position to adopt. And many, many Christians do just that. But it ought to be true that the Church is so known for taking in orphans and “unwanted” children that our culture cannot ignore or deny it.

Oh..of course not! I didn’t mean to sound harsh if I did. I know not every person can, or even should raise a baby. But I think you hit it when you said we should be so known for it that no one can deny it.
I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving Madelyn!

I didn’t think you were being harsh at all. I was agreeing with you. Well said.
We pursued adoption (older children need homes big time) for some time, but it didn’t happen in the end.

I totally, agree. There are some organizations that attempt to give unwed mothers support but they have a hard time getting enough financial support. Still…death is never a solution and abortion causes serious spiritual, emotional, and psychological damage to women who get drawn in to ‘choose’ it. Truly, Wally there are tons of government entitlements right now that help such women and a whole bunch of others who don’t need help at all. Sometimes, we do better to make the right choice when we’ve made a bunch of bad ones, even when that right choice appears painful or impossible.
