Sixty three million dead "through our choosing." Someone recently asked me why one should give two sh*ts whether a baby is aborted or not, and I answered "because your mother did." The feigned apathy and ignorance one encounters over this subject is amazing.

A sad and heartbreaking truth, lucidly, eloquently, and powerfully written.

Expressing such moving thoughts is something that 63 million gifts from God had denied to them, under the name of "choice", called a "right", lies from the same devil that deceitfully told Adam and Eve, "you shall not surely die".

God created us in His image and we blasphemed Him and acted in the image of Satan, the evil one.

Sarah: I look at my Grandson (just graduated from High School) and thank God and my daughter for having the strength to tell me (her Father) she would not consider an abortion, she was determined to have and keep the baby with or without my help. I was a military guy and never thought about abortion, never had cause to and until my daughter told me she was pregnant (in high school) it never entered my mind. I was upset it was kept secret from me but managed after serious thought changed my mind and assisted her in every way I could. The idea of ending a life (murder is what I call the abortion) was so abhorrent to me I can't imagine that the thought once entered my mind. You said it clearly; we must address the issue head on and stop dancing around the language, reproductive strategies, planned parenthood, let's call it what it is: MURDER. Every time someone mentions any of the progressive terms: we respond with; Oh, you mean Murder, right! Thanks again for the article, look forward to your next video.

This is what we are up against.

Abortion is justified as evicting a trespasser from private property – but not as killing

A woman has full rights to her womb and should not be held responsible for the wellbeing of an aborted foetus outside of it.

Well, even in cases of evicting a trespasser from private property, the accused has certain legal rights before a court. The accused may challenge the eviction notice. Abortion offers the fetus no such rights. Even on its face, the analogy to private property breaks down. The sexual act that produced the pregnancy did not and could not include the unborn child as a party to some contract the terms of which the fetus has somehow violated. In fact, a consensual sexual act is a unilateral invitation for pregnancy. The fetus had no say. Only the consenting sexual partners are responsible. It is a great pity that such irrational appeals are used to justify killing of the unborn in order to call that killing something more acceptable, such as "eviction." Chesterton accused advocates of eugenics of being similarly disposed toward euphemism (see Eugenics and Other Evils), Perhaps pro-abortionists are cut from the same cloth.

I’m only partially satisfied with the reversal of Roe vs Wade since SCOUTUS moved the responsibility of whether or not legal abortions to the states. Now we will have state shopping for where to have the abortion.

Excellent and bang on as usual, Sarah!

The picture in Sarah Cain’s article is from a pro-choice demonstration. The picture appropriately illustrates what Sarah has entitled, “Ignorance Is the Enemy of Life.” The photo shows a pregnant mother who has written across her belly the words "Not Yet A Human." Many years ago, this was the claim of the pro-choice movement. The fetus was not a human being, just a clump of cells. Removing a fetus was no more than cutting one’s fingernails or getting a haircut. That argument was tediously common.

Few advocates of abortion claim that today. We know better--hence, the title of Sarah Cain’s article. The fetus is a human being, not just a clump of cells. The pro-choice argument today is that the fetus, though human, is not a person. Since it is not a person, the fetus can be removed. In fact, some even claim that this argument actually justifies post-birth abortion; what we once called infanticide. What Sarah’s picture is saying, consequently, is as ambiguous as it is sinister. Is the pregnant mother claiming that the fetus developing within her is a clump of cells? Or is she saying that the fetus or even the newborn is subject to “elective abortion” until the point at which the child has actually achieved human personhood—whenever that is and whatever that means?

I hope this young mother’s pregnancy goes well and she delivers a healthy baby. But I desperately hope that she does not sacrifice her child to abortion. Moreover, I hope that child does not grow up to see this picture then to understand how his or her mother dismissed humanity with a trite, inaccurate phrase written across the expanding belly. The child would then know that he or she was the object of the mother’s political motto that personally dismissed his or her human worth. That would be a heavy slap in the face—one that the mother will regret but can never take back.

Parents often say words to their children such as these: “I love you, and you are the most important and precious gift that I have ever received.” Judging from this mother’s impassive face, and the words she has inscribed on her belly, now memorialized publicly in this published picture, this is not how she felt about her child when someone took the political photo. Instead, this mother elected to turn the growing life within her into a political prop, a prop that she could destroy as a personal right—whether she actually was considering doing that or not. Consequently, if this mother ever says to her child the loving words above, that child has every right to ask in return, “Mother, when did you change your mind about my humanity, and when did start believing that my life was important?” The mother’s answer to her child’s question will prove far more difficult to compose than the motto she scribbled over her stomach shortly before her child was born.

Industrial scale, elective abortion will soon be regarded as one of the most barbaric things humanity has ever done to itself.

One can only hope. But I think that abortion is the sacrament of our secular society, just as child sacrifice was to many ancient cultures. It is troubling, but abortion has become a religious rite. There is, in fact, a website asking women to "shout their abortion"; thus corresponding to Paul's words in Philippians 3 identifying the enemies of the cross of Christ: "Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things."
