    Sculpture of the unborn child
    http://www.uprait.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1198%3Ascultura-del-bambino-non-nato&catid=348%3Abioarts&Itemid=315&lang=en

    “The monument not only expresses regret and repentance for mothers who have abortions, but also the forgiveness and love of the unborn child to his mother.”

    No matter how much children are abused, they still want their parents’ love, approval, acceptance.

    WHO’LL BE THE NEXT TO GO? ~ Bob Ayala

    We’ve been sleeping much too long, now the night is come
    By the time, we wiped the sleep from our eyes so much damage done
    The number of unborn children slaughtered unknown
    Tell me who’ll be the next to go?

    Now didn’t we learn anything at all from Hitler’s Germany?
    When babies and Jews and them old folks too met eternity
    From abortion to infanticide now wouldn’t you know
    The old folks are next to go
    Oh, don’t you know
    Maybe your folks are next to go…

    Technocracy can be a wonderful thing, if you’re a technocrat
    Just as long as you’re sitting on top of the heap, well you’re where it’s at
    But the aged, the blind and disabled stay out of their way
    Hemlock Society’s paving the way, their paving the way

    And while we’ve been debating theology, they’ve been working hard
    While we’re building our crystal cathedrals, huh, they’re still working hard
    So wake up sisters and brothers, this isn’t a show

    Or we’ll be the next to go
    Oh, don’t you know, yeah, we’ll be the next to go
    What will you do? we’ll be the next to go
    What will you do? we’ll be the next to go
    When they finely come for you?
    Who’ll be the next?
    There’ll be no place to run and hide
    What will you do?
    Who’ll be the next to go?

    Can’t Argue With the Logic

    But you can argue with the morality… It’s what you get when there is no moral standard…

    Ethicists Argue in Favor of ‘After-Birth Abortions‘ as Newborns ’Are Not Persons’

    Free sex for all. Free abortion for all. The handicapped are dead. History doth repeat.

    | February 22, 2012

    The Obama administration’s healthcare agenda is so clear. First they arrange for insurance companies to fund contraception (and government funds the insurance companies) and everybody knows that the liberal definition of contraception includes all women’s reproductive rights including abortion. And the government provides free extensive prenatal testing which would become forced if one is to get health coverage. And that testing will result in increased abortions because every child with any defect will be aborted to save money. Or the mother will be denied health services. Free sex for all. Free search-and-destroy prenatal testing. Free abortion for all. The handicapped are dead. History doth repeat.

    The media is trying to keep Santorum on the social issues so people can’t see his plans on energy, the economy, etc. They are attacking his faith with ridicule and disdain.

    “Expect more from Men”

    | February 22, 2012

    The Pill Is Not Good for Women
    http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/291514

    “Women on the whole disproportionately bear the burden of the new sexual regime. They are expected to dose themselves with a Group 1 carcinogen for approximately two-thirds of their fertile years. They sustain greater emotional costs from casual sex. They are at greater risk of contracting STDs and disproportionately suffer from their long-term consequences, such as cervical cancer and fertility loss.And even after 50 years with the Pill, as many as half of all pregnancies are still unintended. Women, not men, must make the heart-wrenching choice between abortion, reckoned a tragic outcome even by its supporters, and bearing a child with little to no paternal support. After all, since children were negotiated out of the bargain by the availability of contraception and abortion, men have secured a strong rationale to simply ignore or reject pregnancies that result from uncommitted sexual relations. Nobel-laureate economist George Akerlof predicted nearly two decades ago that this would lead directly to the feminization of poverty, as it ruefully has…”

    “Contrary to a popular misconception, the alternative to the contraceptive revolution is not to roll back the clock on women’s advancement, and certainly not to promote a physically and emotionally taxing outcome in which women have as many children as biologically possible. Rather, the alternative to contraception is to respect biological asymmetry, heal the wound between the sexes, and expect more from men.”

    A suffering
    http://www.jillstanek.com/2012/02/a-suffering/

    “Out on the sidewalk Donna and I had spoken to a woman for over 20 minutes and she agreed with everything we said. She agreed the unborn baby was human, and that the baby had a right to live. She even agreed that abortion was a sin, but in the end she went into the clinic… I was gripped by a realization. I thought, ‘I’m not living in a normal world anymore.’” Monica Miller

    I can so relate to this article. This realization is probably the most disturbing thing about our time. People no longer have a value system. They have no moral code to strive toward or live by. Regarding abortion, they know it’s a baby, but they choose abortion anyway.

    And they are not willing to consider any other point of view.

    I had a letter from a mother the other day about spanking, and she said, “I will not now or ever agree with your way of thinking.” It is so sad to see others not open to learning and being moved by the Holy Spirit.

    “But whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Matthew 18:6

    It is proving true that morals and values don’t matter outside of Christianity.

    Spanking’s Popularity and The Abortion Mentality

    | February 11, 2012

    SUN NEWS, an alternative to the leftist and state-run Canadian media, had a poll the other day on spanking. When I voted, 94% of the people were in favor of keeping spanking legal. I thought, “Wow…. :-( That is exactly why abortion exists in this country!” The cavalier attitude about the need to “smack-that-kid” was truly shocking in the audience’s Facebook comments about the poll… I am always amazed by those who pretend that spanking is not common in our society, and that they think our social problems are because kids aren’t beaten enough these days. I know very, very few people who have never spanked or have never been beaten.

    Many years ago, I read Alice Miller’s books and although she did not even mention this, I was inspired to draw the connection between spanking and abortion. It is not so much the pro-aborts that are the problem. They have been clearly wounded. It is the people who think they are pro-life, but still have the deep-down desire to punish and beat children. I believe that comes from how they were treated as children, as well as religious brain-washing.

    If I could get my act together and be given the inspiration, I would like to write a book on this subject. If any of you understand the profound connection between spanking and abortion, then I encourage you to research and share your material with the world.

    I felt déjà vu while posting the following video:

    Eric Metaxas’ Pro-Life Speech to Barack Obama

    | February 10, 2012

    It was quite a sermon by Eric Metaxas that Barack Obama was forced to listen to on Friday morning at the National Prayer Breakfast. Ouch. Slide over to minute 35:00 for the beginning of Metaxas speech. I wrote down some of the things he said starting around 49:00. Good stuff before and after as well.

    “Wilberforce, because he believed what the Bible said, and because he obeyed what God told him to do, he changed the world…”

    “Human beings do not do the right thing apart from God’s intervention. We always do the phony religious thing, we go with the flow. In Wilberforce’s day, going with the flow meant supporting slavery, that Africans are not fully human. In Bonhoeffer’s world, Nazi Germany, it meant supporting the idea that Jews are not fully human. So, whom do we say is not fully human today? Who is expendable to us? …”

    Learning from Bonhoeffer, he said, You must have a living relationship with God and it must lead you to action. That you must obey God. That you will look different…”

    “…You think you’re better than the Germans in that era? [1932] You’re not. Not in God’s eyes you’re not. We’re the same. We’re capable of the same horrible things. Wilberforce somehow saw what the people in his day didn’t see, and we celebrate him for it. Bonhoeffer saw what the people did not see and we celebrate him for it. Now how did they see what they saw? There’s just one word that will answer that. It’s Jesus. He opens our eyes to His ideas which are different from our own which are radical. Now personally, I would say the same thing about the unborn. That apart from God, apart from God we cannot see that they are persons as well. So those of us who know the unborn to be human beings are commanded by God to love those who do not yet see that. [applause] We need to know that apart from God we would be on the other side of that divide, fighting for what we believe is right. We cannot demonize our enemies today. If you believe abortion is wrong, you must treat those on the other side with the love of Jesus. Today, if you have a biblical view of sexuality, you will be demonized by those on the other side – will call you a bigot. Jesus commands us to love those who call us bigots to show them the love of Jesus.”
