Liberal politicians and Hollywood complain the Iraqi War is a waste of US life but are strong supporters of women’s right of choice which kills Americans at a rate 1000 times that of the Iraqi War…a hypocritical argument?!
THE NAZI HOLOCAUST vs. US ABORTIONS
| The Nazi Holocaust (1938-1945) 7 years, 6 million Jews killed (historyplace.com) vs. US abortions take 4.7 years to accomplish this |
The world decries this event as an unspeakable horrific crime and yet Americans through the excuse of the right of choice kill more than 9 million infants through abortion during 7 year spans today. America has not done this just once, but repeated this amount more than 5 times. Where is the real holocaust? Who has committed the greatest holocaust? Isn’t this worse when we do it to ourselves? How can Americans point their fingers at any country including African nations where there are massive civil wars and killing of ethnic groups when Americans lead the world in killing their own? We accept this killing simply as a woman’s choice or more simply contraception.
OTHER COMPARISONS
| On a recent Nancy Grace show (10/23/06), there was a discussion about the death rate of infants in Malawi in that there are 110 infant deaths per 1000 live births (1 death in 9.1 live births). Nancy stated this was “horrible”. In American, we kill 1 infant in 10.5 live births due to the choice of abortion. Isn’t this worse since we can stop this killing without any miracle medicines or large amounts of federal funds. We just have to make the “right” choice. |
| A recent commercial was pushing federal funds to support a cure for Autism which affects 1 in 175 people. And yet we abort 1 in 10.5 infants, 10 times the rate and yet we don’t take the same interest is trying to stop this atrocity. |
| State and the Federal government spend tons of money on regulations and enforcement of the wearing of seat belts and child restraints. From 1975 through 2004, approximately 7,472 lives were saved by child restraints. In two days, we abort this many infants. Why not extend the idea of choice and let everyone decide for themselves whether they want to risk their lives in cars. Remove all regulations and enforcement of seat belts and save the tax money. In 2004, seat belts save 15,434 lives. We abort this many infants in 4.4 days. Bike helmets can apply the same argument. Is it worth the money to same 784 lives (2005 deaths) or give people the choice to be stupid or not? We abort that many infants in 5.3 hours. |
| People argue that abortion is important choice to protect a mother’s health or for rape/incest. However, statistics show only 3% is for mother’s health and 1% for rape/incest. Therefore 96% are done as a convenience. Statistics show 50% of abortions is of women who use it as the sole source of birth control. |
| Since 1973, we have killed enough infants to equal the entire birth rate for 3.3 years in America. Who knows the talent and expertise we have lost in this waste of life. Does this sound familiar as to what Herod did at the time of Jesus’ birth? |
| Stem Cell research of human embryos is just another excuse to justify the killing of an infant. |
| Michael J. Fox campaigned for candidates supporting stem cell research for Parkinson’s Disease. The CDC reports that less than 20,000 people die of Parkinson’s disease each year. The US takes 6 days to kill this many unborn through abortion. Using embryos for stem cell research will kill countless times this amount to save 20,000 people who have had the opportunity to live. And guess what, we may just be killing the embryo who would have lived and found a cure for Parkinson’s Disease. |
WHERE ARE WE HEADED?
| In the recent past, we see that when a pregnant woman is murdered, the accused is accused of 2 murders, not one – the woman and the infant. This can only help in stopping the killing of infants by choice of abortion. |
| We have to get over the idea that abortion is an acceptable contraception. It is killing a human life plain and simple. |
BOTTOM LINE
| There is no such position as “Pro Choice”. You are either “Pro Life” or “Pro Abortion”. If you are “Pro Abortion”, then in reality your position is “Pro Death”. Therefore, a person is either “Pro Life” or “Pro Death”! Its time to determine reality…each person must decide where they stand on this issue. |
| A woman has a choice to have intercourse or not. She has a choice to use a contraceptive or not. She has a choice to raise the child or put it up for adoption. All other choices are God’s. It is not a choice to abort an unborn child…it is murder. This is the true shock reality! |
