An abortion worker’s ‘ah-ha’ moment: when a surrogate mother was paid to abort a Down syndrome baby

zerosix quoted Tracy to Lancaster, "You knew it would come to this, the first time you sentenced an innocent man to death."\

My recollection is that Tracy said something more like, "IT CAME to this the first time you sentenced an innocent man to death". Tracy was making the point that the evil which the judge hadn't anticipated, began in his own court room. It wasn't about what the judge knew or expected, it was about what the judge DID.

In other words, it wasn't relevant what happened later.

Thanks (though I can’t take credit for the idea)

It is a non-intrusive/non-aggressive way of getting a message across; it is informing the conscience of someone who may not be thinking with a clear head as they plan a murder.

Hell is full of people who never repented as this woman did.

I tend to agree with wagglebee. Everyone is confronted with their sin at some time in their life, but not all respond with repentance.

Note the following two passages in Acts:

1: Acts 2:37 - Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

2: Acts 7:54 - When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

Both accounts are of sinners who were confronted with their part in the slaying of the Lord, and one group said "what shall we do?", while the other "gnashed with their teeth". Both were given the same opportunity to soften their hearts and repent.

As I always say, abortion is murder for convenience. It's usually out of sight and that makes it out of mind. This baby that was the victim of a contract killing gave a person, and individuality to this woman and woke her up.

She learned, and is dealing with the guilt of her past. That's something she has to live with and there's nothing that can be done about that. However, what she can do now is to do her best, as we all can, to stop others from being victims of murder for convenience.

I am sorry - I just don't see how anyone needs an "aha" moment for this kind of monstrous evil

The world is a jungle. Every American younger than 40 has lived under Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton their entire lives. The generations (plural) before that was the one that had individuals fight for legalized abortion. The judges who legalized it were in their 60's or 70's at that time.

We are gaining an inch at a time (Partial birth bans), but it's like the fight against slavery. It's wrong, but it's been around for generations. Men are conditioned to stay out of this area (75% of the leadership and volunteers in pro-life movement are women). That's not including the scum who pressure their significant others to have an abortion to avoid embarrassment, financial burdens, and the like as a result of some action. Women are conditioned to consider this as "choice" even if most of them personally abhor abortion and would never have one.

Despite all of that, the culture, the media, and the money from the leftist foundations, we are gaining an inch at a time to fight this. It's not good enough at all, but I think there's a chance this gets banned in my lifetime.

t’s so drastic that even I have noticed a reduction in the population & I cam ve a real space cadet sometimes. So if I’ve noticed it, it’s bad. >>

this is so sad to hear.
