A couple of days ago was the 38th anniversary of Roe vs Wade (the Supreme Court case that legalized infanticide in the USA). From 1973 through 2005, more than 45 million "legal" abortions have occurred in the United States. That is an average of one million four hundred thousand infants killed per year. Or put another way, an average of three thousand eight hundred and thirty six murders PER DAY! These numbers are stunning.
Another stunning number is the ratio of abortions to live births in Washington, DC. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), in year 2000 there were 869 abortions per 1000 live births in DC. That is almost as many infants murdered as there were born! If my math is correct, that means of 1869 pregnancies in DC in the year 2000, 46% were legally murdered.
This is what the progressive liberals call "Choice." A woman must have a "Choice," after all. Well, it seems to me the woman that seeks to have her child "put to sleep" has one too many choices available. She made her choice just prior to conception. If a woman and man do not want the "inconvenience" of being burdened with a child, then they should not engage in the actions that can result in pregnancy.
When you do a little research on abortion, the statistics you uncover are just staggering. It is beyond comprehension how so many people can care so little about other's lives.
What Kermit Gosnell, the Butcher of Philly, has done should classify him as a serial murderer. Not only was he killing post-birth babies using a pair of scissors on the spinal cord, but his "clinic" was so filthy that many of the women that came to him to dispatch their temporary problem were also getting sick; and some even dying.
This is just another facet of this once gem of a nation that shows just how far we have traveled down a very steep slope towards oblivion. Once it became urgent and necessary to remove God and religious context from all areas of government, the slope became very slippery. The sad thing is, the generation that remembers what it was like (to live in a nation that was not afraid to mention the name above all names, Jesus Christ) is dying out. I am of that generation and I am afraid of what my grandsons will be subjected to.
I pray for our nation to turn back to Jesus Christ. I pray for the president and his administration to turn to Him as well. For without Jesus, there is no hope, none whatsoever.
