Murder ... So What? Film Reveals Growing Callousness to Abortion

A few weekends back, very late at night, I reread Swift's "A Modest Proposal". http://www.english.upenn.edu/~jlynch/Courses/95c/Texts/modest.html

It had been more than a decade since I had read it. I read it straight through and at a point of near sleep-reading I forgot that it was satire and started thinking it was a current and serious proposal put forth by a Peter Singer type "ethicist"

"How long till some one thinks that the old pamphlet "A Modest Proposal" is a real blueprint? How long till they start up the camps and the ovens?" That is a battle between the red and blue states. If the country went all blue it WOULD happen in short order IMO.

>>>>>>>>>As horrible as abortion is, it is only a symptom of the moral decadence that pervades American and Western European society. If conservatives fail to "conserve" and act like 1970s-era liberals, we will see euthanasia of both seniors and unwanted children under the age of two, homosexual marriage in all 50 states, and the elimination of the age of consent for sexual activities. Will the "conservatives" of 2025 then be fighting against polygamy, snuff films, human sacrifice, and the illegalization of Biblically based Christian churches and institutions?

>>>>>>>>God help us!

Very well put!

Isn't it strange that a pack of cigarettes must have a warning label concerning effects of use? And abortions do not.

In addition, why is there a drinking/smoking legal age limit? But any woman/girl can get an abortion on demand.

Why are animals treated with more respect by liberals than humans?

Why does our media withhold information about abortion from the general public?

For everyone reading this thread, please, please speak out against the atrocity that is abortion. We must continue to work to stop the senseless killing of our children. Planned Parenthood is in our public schools now. Please call or write your local Congressmen to stop these murderers from infiltrating our schools. Please purchase a video of an abortion and show it to your friends and family.

Together we can fight and win this war against God's precious infants. Since those poor babies can't speak for themselves, we must speak for them, no matter how difficult it may be for us.

Most importantly please pray to God to change the hearts and minds of the uninformed and ignorant.

It would be intellectually dishonest to respond, "You're joking, right? I'm shocked! I'm horrified!"

Black's strategy is brilliant: harden the pro-abortion crowd into the reality of what they are doing. Any act, no matter how horrific, attains normalcy in the minds of its practitioners and witnesses with regular commission over the passage of time. Murdering Jews become the norm.

You and I and those like us may be in the queue, perhaps many decades from now. Do not think for an instant that the same type of rationalizations made for abortion on demand - based as they are on expediency and the "good" of society (building a "better world" to use Margaret Sanger's words) - cannot be applied to any who are out of step with this brave "new" ideology.

Welcome to FR, Raquel. Life and death issues assume a prominent place in our various discourses. You're among (mostly) like-minded folks.

I COMPLETELY agree with you.

While I will NEVER condone abortions for ANY reason (not for rape, nor incest, nor disability, nor mother's health) I will say that these children are blessed. Blessed to never have to live on this planet where NOTHING is sacred. Blessed to not have to live with parents who never wanted them and were even willing to kill them before ever meeting them face to face. Blessed to be in Heaven and not having to wait years and years and endure hardships.

These little souls are blessed, but it is not my place to "bless" my child in this manner. Plenty of babies never make it past birth alive, and those are hard enough for a mother to endure. How can these "people" kill their babies? I will never understand it. I just realize that the babies get to go right back home with their real Father, who would never hurt them or hate them.

God bless all their little souls, and may he help their would-be parents understand what they have done and change their lives to use their experiences to convince others not to make the mistakes. That's all I can do to keep sane...is to hope that some women, somewhere, are using their mistakes to teach other women.

Thank you Lexinom. Indeed, that's one thing I've learned at FR, we have an active pro-life movement that is catching on. I volunteer as a sidewalk counselor and the moms and dads choosing abortion are uninformed almost brain washed. Sometimes it only takes a few words, or the gift of the rosary to turn them around. What we have in our country are dormant pro-lifers, once we activate them, we're on our way to putting an end to this senseless practice. God bless you and keep up the good fight.

THANKS FOR THE PING

Aren't those awesome.

My friend who did all that Pro-Life work including the signs hasn't rested for 20+ years. He is an inspiration.

"Aren't those awesome."

Yes they are.   Each tell their own story.   A picture is worth a thousand words.   I've saved a bunch of them.   I've been real busy and haven't had time to clean them up, and move them to my FTP folder for use.   But I will.

I live in Madison, WI and run into many people with this attitude. They almost always say, are you going to feed them? They show no care at all that the human child is being murdered.

The same people often say and I suppose you are for the death penalty. I am and they think I am terrible to want justice for a heinous murderer. They cannot bear the thought of a human monster being justly killed at the same time they say killing an innocent child is perfectly OK. They think I am the one who is cruel and hypocritical. I think they are nuts.

"... I think that God must step in at some point to spare the baby the pain of the procedure itself." Sadly, I must interject that God does not 'step in' and save babies the pain inflicted by heinous abusers, so it is horribly clear to this ol' freeper that the inhumanity of the serial killing for the unborn goes through the course of horrific pain (where the nervous system is developed) then death. The evil is then upon the serial killer and those complicit with the deed(s). We ought not shy away from admitting the extent of the evil, there are eternal souls at stake for the truth.
