It was a two-day media sensation – a baby whale had somehow got itself lost in the Thames River and while British rescuers sought to carry it out to sea before it died, television stations in the U.S. and Britain carried hour-by-hour updates of the saga, tugging at the heartstrings of viewers across the globe. The plight and subsequent death of this one animal was treated as a major tragedy.
In the same two days, some 8,000 unborn American babies were butchered in their mothers' wombs – their murders taking place out of sight and out of mind. Just all in a day's work – merely an unnoticed addition to the ghastly statistics that show that over 40 million innocent unborn infants have been killed since the United States decided that it was a woman's constitutional right to turn her womb into an execution chamber.
Nobody in the overwhelmingly pro-abortion media saw fit to draw a comparison between the near-heroic efforts to save the life on one baby whale, which attracted so much of their attention and compassion, and the unnoticed murders of 8,000 unborn American human beings in the same time period. That's how low we have sunk.
We're going to pay a price for our complicity in this wholesale slaughter of the unborn – despite the claims of the secularists who sneer at the concept of Divine retribution, a God who loves his children, a God who is Justice itself, cannot be expected to be a mere bystander at the spectacle of his most innocent children, the unborn, being the victims of wholesale, for-profit butchery.
Think about it. Abortion is more than a word or a simple medical procedure. It is a grisly practice that involves chopping unborn humans into tiny pieces, using vacuum tubes to demolish and suck them out, poisoning them, and, in the most horrific of all forms of abortion – the infanticide of partial-birth abortion – dragging them most of the way out of the womb, jamming a pair of scissors into the base of their skulls, inserting a vacuum tube and sucking their living brains out as they writhe in agony.
Politicians and the billion-dollar abortion industry prate about what they deceptively term "a woman's right to choose." They carefully ignore the unborn human being who is the victim of that right to choose. It is given no right to choose to live.
And it is a human being. Medical science is unanimous in stating that human life begins at the moment of conception, when everything that makes a human being human is present in its DNA, from the color its hair will be, to the height it will reach, to the power of its intellect – to what kind of a person it will turn out to be.
Poll after poll has demonstrated that the overwhelming majority of Americans believe that abortion is murder, plain and simple. Incredibly, they also believe that a woman has the right to execute the child in her womb – to allow her child to die a horrendous death without ever being allowed to experience the life God willed that it should have.
The agreement with the fallacy that a woman can abrogate the will of God makes everyone who believes that complicit in the crime of the murder of the unborn. Every time they step into a voting booth and cast a vote for a politician who supports abortion they become his or her accomplice in the killing of the 40 million unborn Americans already murdered and the 4,000 more who are slain in abortion mills every day of the year.
They ignore the shameful spectacle of a major political party blatantly and proudly displaying their craven obeisance to the abortion industry that has bought their voices and their votes, as America is now witnessing in the matter of the confirmation of Judge Samuel Alito to be a justice of the Supreme Court. The Democrat Party is proving that it is owned lock, stock and barrel by today's version of Murder, Inc. – Planned Parenthood and its competitors in the business of slaughtering the innocent.
If you fit into that category of willing accomplices, you have blood on your hands. And even if you can't see it, God can. You and all of America will be hearing from Him soon. It won't be pretty.
bttt for zot
Sir Humphrey Appleby is(was) the greatest character on television! To really appreciate and enjoy his dialogues you have to rewind and re-rewind and savor every word. HA is like fine wine or fine cigar...
"We are ALL God's children."
Cows, too? You're not too bright, are you?
"We are ALL God's children. After that you believe what you believe"
In the context of this thread and your previous posts, is it safe to assume then that you believe killing animals for food is morally equivalent to killing human beings?
If not, then is it safe to assume that you believe that killing animals for food is morally equivalent to killing unborn human beings, regardless of how far along the development of the baby?
Yeah, and I believe that man was created in God's own image (Gen 1:27), I believe that God's Son died on the Cross for man's sin (Ro. 8:3), and that God gave animals to man for food (Gen. 9:3). Animals are created beings, but not God's children. That's why I won't waste my time with people who claim animals have the same rights than humans do. And I'm deeply offended when someone compares the murder of unborn babies to the slaughter of cattle for food.
I think the point was that they went to great lengths to save this whale, yet did nothing for poor, defenseless cattle. At least, I hope that was the point

Actually, He just promised not to do it by a flood. THe next return to balance in one fell swoop will be at the second coming, and I do not want to think about what will happen to the abortionists then.
The Canaanites were driven out of their land by Israel partially because of their use of child sacrifices. Is there any difference between sacrificing a child to Molech and sacrificing a child to convenience?
Only the euphamisms.
Considering that the Canaanites believed that they were "buying" protection from their enemies with the child sacrifices, protection for the whole community, I think what they were doing was less horrible than killing a child for someone's convenience! Yet God judged them severely, what's in store for our country?
I couldn't help remarking to my wife that if they had spent that much time, energy, and money on people, they might have saved half a dozen human lives. It's a twisted world were they are so willing to kill babies, pull the plug on those in comas, and defend pedophile murderers instead of the victims, yet they will spare no expense or effort to save a non-human creature.
Was that Humphrey?
Mom MD - I agree that, as I mentioned, God's mercy will eventually yield to justice if mankind doesn't taken upon himself to change his ways. I have a problem, however, with prognosticating this as an imminent event. How many hundreds of millions of souls were slaughtered at the hands of communism in the USSR, China, N. Korea, Indochina, etc.? Did their blood not equally cry out to the heavens for justice? Soviet communism fell (though it's still lingering with Putin), but the other entities are still committing their inhumanity without impunity.
Perhaps it would be better to call it a perfect storm of evil, with abortion, totalitarian communism, and the threat of nuclear terrorism as the symptoms of man's wholesale turning away from God in the 20th century. That's pretty much undebatable. But there's just no way to know the depth of God's patience and mercy. That's all I'm saying.
Yep.
