From My Perspective - - -
The news was terse and shocking: “George Tiller a Kansas doctor was
shot and killed on Sunday as he entered his church congregation. Tiller
has been one of four U.S. physicians who performed late-term abortions,
making him a target of anti-abortion protesters. He testified that he
and his family have suffered years of harassment and threats. His
clinic was the site of protests in 1991 which were marked by mass
demonstration and arrests. The clinic has been bombed in 1985, and an
abortion opponent shot him in both arms in 1993…”
Equally shocking is a report contained in an article by Charles Colson entitled: “WHERE’S THE CHOICE IN THIS?”
While the attention of the nation is diverted by Trillion Dollar
Deficits, the following was unfolding: “…a young Chinese woman ran
afoul of the Chinese government. She had become ‘illegally pregnant.’
By the time the authorities found out, she was seven months along.
Family planning officials tied her to a bed, induced labor, and, when
the baby was born, killed the baby. What happened is an abomination -
one, however, that tragically takes place regularly in China. But now,
thanks to the U.S. Congress, you and I will be paying for it. Last
March, Congress passed a bill providing $50 million for the United
Nations Population Fund. This organization promotes abortion around the
globe - including China…This blows the lid off the argument that
abortion is all about giving a woman choice. If Congress really stands
for choice, as they claim, why did they vote for coercion? If feminists
are really for choice, why aren't they fighting this law? Why isn't our
pro-choice President demanding that this brutalization of women be
stopped? Abortion is a glaring example of the difference worldview
makes. Are all children, Chinese babies or inner-city African American
babies - worthy of protection? Are babies just mouths to feed, and a
strain on the environment - or are they potential producers and
contributors? Do parents have the right under God to have as many
children as they desire? Or should governments dictate this decision?
Let's be clear: Coercive family planning is a humanitarian disaster…”
Between the years 1920 and 1940, Murder Incorporated thrived. “In
Brownsville, Brooklyn, NY…stood a small 24-hour candy store named
Midnight Rose’s. This wasn’t any ordinary candy store. It housed some
of the most lethal for-hire contract killers, consisting mainly of Jews
and Italians, that this country has ever known. These men, dubiously
named Murder Incorporated by the press, carried out over eight hundred
contract murders… Murder Inc. supplied its members with lawyers when
they needed one and bought their own police protection and politicians.
Anastasia was one of the most brutal men ever to walk the streets of
New York. When the Syndicate approved a hit it would be sent down to
Anastasia and he would make sure it was carried out with the utmost of
care. Mistakes, such as killing an innocent bystander, would not be
tolerated. Many of their victims ended up murdered, missing, or never
to be heard from again. At one point, Anastasia had over one hundred
contract killers on the payroll for as little as two hundred dollars a
week…”
How did we arrive at the place where politicians or criminal
organizations can dictate who lives and who dies. When did it become
acceptable and legal to pay to end a life? While Abortions are near 45
million in the USA, they are 10 times that number in China (over 400
million with their one child per family law). There was more of an
outcry regarding the murder of Dr. Tiller than there ever was about the
more than 60,000 third-trimester abortions performed by him. Why? What
happened to the sensibility and sensitivity realities in this nation?
Both conception and development of the fetus is stated in Psalm
139:13-19 (NLT): “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and
knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so
wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous – and how well I
know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I
was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was
born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was
laid out before a single day had passed." Consider these things with me
and let your voice be legally and appropriately heard. Men and Women
are needed to stand in the gap and to defend the defenseless, and to
protect the innocents!
