Article I'm Still Working On

Please, please comment.
I'm still working on this one... Any suggestions? I'm probably going to add some pics from the Walk For Life, once it happens...



"A person is a person, no matter how small." said Theodore Seuss Giesel (1904-1991), a well know American writer and cartoonist. He was commonly known by his pen name, Dr. Seuss.

In response to the April 18 U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, prominent Democratic members of Congress the next day reintroduced the so-called "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA), a proposed federal law to nullify virtually all federal and state limitations on abortion.

What is partial birth abortion?

Partial-birth abortion is exactly what the term infers.

Intrauterine cranial decompression (commonly known as Partial Birth Abortion):
The procedure is usually performed during the last trimester of gestation up to the end of the ninth month. The woman's cervix is dilated, and the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps. Then he proceeds to pull the baby into the birth canal. The abortionist then delivers the baby's body, feet first, all but the baby's head. The abortionist inserts a sharp object into the back of the baby's head, removes it, and inserts a vacuum tube through which the brains are sucked out. The head of the baby collapses at this point and allows the aborted baby to be delivered lifelessly.

Can we deny that this is a baby? Can we allow this to happen?

We already have. The war for lives of millions of babies has already begun.
In electing Barack Obama, under the office of President of the United States of America (January 20, 2009), Mr. Obama told Planned Parenthood that: "The first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing I'd do."
The so-called "Freedom of Choice" act will:
1) Do away with state laws on parental involvement, on partial birth abortion, and on all other protections.
2) Compel taxpayer funding of abortions.
3) Force faith-based hospitals and health-care facilities to perform abortions.
Barack Obama believes this legislation will "end the culture wars."

"Though Obama is pro-choice, we are in the worst recession we've ever been."

Though it may be true, we are in a very tight situation with the economy; is this more important then a child's life? During the course of the year, over 1.2 million babies die. This is mass murder and it needs to stop. A child's life is the most important thing given to us by God. Life is to precious to be thrown away so easily. What factors are so important that human life can be sacrificed to them?

Excerpt from a conversation that two of my friends and I had:
Person1: Now, there are various ways to keep people alive.
Good health care, good foreign policy, plenty of money, and no abortion.
Person2: I would say no abortion, good health care, and good foreign policy
Person1: Without money, how can we have food?
Person2: Without people to feed, what's the point of having food? You can build pretty nifty structures out of broccoli and toothpicks, but that gets really boring after a while.

"Many are dying out on the street. This is life, and it's just as precious and important."

Yes, the lives of the homeless people are lives, too, and are just as important as the lives of the baby. However, this person has a chance in life. He has a chance in life, however. These babies haven't got a chance. People born have voices. The babies in the womb, cannot protest. They are slaughtered, and cannot help themselves.

We must try to be their voice.

My friend said: "The babies are better off dead."

I say: If you heard about a girl that someone was going to kill, and you didn't know her, but you knew it was wrong, would you say she was better off dead? Would you, and let her die? Could you, and let her die? You don't know her, no. I don't know the babies I'm trying to save.

Well, I'm honored that you consider me your friend.

You argued that abortion is wrong. We're in agreement! I definitely believe it's wrong.

A few questions:

1. "Can we deny that this is a baby? Can we allow this to happen?"

-- We actually are not allowing it, we don't really have a say in the matter because of our government works.

2. "A child's life is the most important thing given to us by God."

-- I differ- I believe a person's soul is. And it's not only a child, it's everyone's.

3. "My friend said: "The babies are better off dead.""

-- I believe most (±70%) babies are better off dead. Mostly because I believe that an aborted child will not go to Hell. However, most children that have been aborte; if they had not been, probably would not have been saved. But that point is irrelevant, I was defending what I said. As for the girl you mentioned, she's already responsible for her sins and her soul is in her own hands. She still has the chance to be saved.

Other than that, as you read in my email, you know what I believe :) This is just in reply to your post. I believe abortion is sin and a problem, but I believe there are more serious problems that should be dealt with before we worry about babies whose souls are safe. However, if you feel God leading you to argue against abortion- all to it and God bless :)

How dare you.
