The most dangerous place on earth; terror war on the un-born

Warning: This article contains graphic language the author deems necessary to help the reader fully appreciate the seriousness of the issue, both to the present and future of our nation and culture.

We mourn the loss of every service man or woman in Iraq, and rightly so, but we murder more Americans in the womb each day than the total death toll in Iraq over the past five years. Few are the voices raised against the terror-war waged on the un-born child in America! Where is the outrage? Many churches and individuals are silent in the face of this slaughter. This is tragic. God will hold us accountable for this holocaust.

This month marks the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Over 52 million Americans have perished during that time in their mother’s womb. Meanwhile our politicians are worried about Social Security funding downrange, due to a dwindling support base. If we had not been legally murdering our un-born children across 3.5 decades there would be an additional 221/2 million working Americans over 21 years old in the labor force today, paying taxes and contributing to Social Security.

If the media were fair, responsible and consistent they would demand to film the carnage as they did in Viet Nam and later in Iraq. Nightly we would witness grisly scenes of babies being dismembered. There would be footage from the sonogram showing a living baby trying to escape the probing of a hostile instrument. Against the background of dramatic music we would see the heart monitor register the obvious fetal fear and distress. We would be aghast at the sight of tiny limbs yanked ruthlessly with forceps from the body before extracting the remains of the torso and putting them in a plastic bag. The camera crew would then follow the “health worker” out the back door and film the bag as it’s tossed carelessly into a dumpster.

What kind of monster could conceive, much less carry out a late-term abortion, commonly known as D&X? Picture a viable baby, limbs and torso delivered with only the head remaining inside the mother, little arms and legs flaying; the doctor punctures the base of the skull, suctions out the brains, crushes the tiny head and the little one drops lifeless into a waiting bucket. This is America in 2008 folks. When will the barbaric carnage cease? “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Proverbs 31:8

Instead, the media describe activities inside the murder mills in antiseptic prose such as “pregnancy termination.” This has been going on for 35 years. 4,000 times a day in the United States a delicate, diminutive, defenseless and completely innocent little baby is mangled, rent, cleaved, split and ripped out – that’s one every 21.6 seconds. In the time it takes you to read this article ten wee tots have been trashed; ten miniature marvels of creation have been prematurely terminated.

It’s been 35 years now. The carnage must stop. Surely the patience of God is wearing thin. We are in danger of Divine judgment. If good, solid, decent Christian men and women will not cry out against this wanton slaughter then we become accessory to the crime. God help us.

Footnote: If you have, or someone you know has had an abortion, our Heavenly Father knows all about the circumstances surrounding this tragedy in your life.*

There is no sin that any of us has ever committed which is beyond the pale of His forgiveness and redemption through the precious blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I John 1:9

Talk to Him about it.
