With an ocean of pro-choice Presidential candidates on the progressive side of the fence it seems reasonable to wonder why they are not labeled as digressive candidates. Wasting a human life should never be considered progress on any level.
Besides casting a vote against them here are some additional ideas that could help in the fight to keep America from sliding any faster into the list of former great nations of the world.
Some anti-abortionist advocates favor candidly showing actual abortion videos as a means of dissuading women who are considering an abortion. Films of an actual abortion are certain not to pop up at abortion clinics; so just where could they be shown? Here are some other alternatives.
We live in a world that thanks to people like Al Gore is now nearing the panic stage with fears of global warming. One article recently posted online said ignoring global warming should be “criminalized." The common term most often used for liberal progressives who are the staunchest supporters of the green movement is the “far left" which is curiously close to an older but equally familiar phrase, “far out."
How far out can a nation go? Shall we criminalize ignoring the panic associated with possible global warming before asking the fifty million aborted babies what they think about rising temps? Would they tell us that they think America is truly the land of opportunity where all are treated equally and justice flows like a river? Or would they charge us with subjecting them to the real “inconvenient truth" that their lives were counted for nothing even when the temperature was normal.
I care little who believes me or who chooses to be the scoffer. After a lifetime of study in the Bible, eschatology, history and human nature I can promise with absolute assurance that this world does not end because of rising temperatures. What is rising (as predicted) is the wholesale immorality of a reprobate generation that brings the judgment of God on their own heads. Follow Armageddon.
The green machine has gotten up to speed much faster than the highly spurious and suspect “theory of evolution." It took about forty years for secular educators to sell this pabulum to a generation who would be more than surprised if both the science of global warming and Darwinism were more carefully examined. Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
The fact that fifty million human beings have suffered death at the hands of abortionists even while there is no proof of even one single death due to global warming is a total no brainer. No rocket science needed here, no math degree. What is needed is a whole lot less panic and a huge helping of honesty. It is a matter of the heart not the brain. The appeal to the heart can sway the hardest and even the most intelligent person even if the intelligence is of the more common pseudo-intelligent variety. Are acts that are de-humanizing, cruel, heartless and deadly given respectability because they are performed by those who are considered to be “intelligent?"
With the recent advances of forensic science a murderer can only frantically try to cover their tracks in vain. It leaves us wondering how a nation can cover the slaughter of fifty million babies either in real time or in the conscience. It would seem that if science is willing to supply the deception then Hollywood is willing to bring the distraction to the big party.
While science labels the faithful as morons it promises us that our ancient fathers and mothers were once monkeys in the murky mist. There is no culpability where there is no accountability, aren’t we just doing what the rest of the animals on the planet are doing? Hollywood steps up to stroke the national libido and lull a nation into a collective obsessive compulsive disorder that would make Caligula and the ancient Romans blush.
Harsh, don’t judge too quickly, at least wait until after the six o’clock news. If Hollywood hasn’t sufficiently distracted you then wait for the film at eleven. Massacres, murders and mayhem are followed by sports and weather.
It is not hard to see how the murder of fifty million infants can be pretty much swept away from view in the national conscience of a nation. Yet, swept away they are not. Rather they are swept under the brightly woven carpet called laughter and distraction.
For those who haven’t given in to it all, the living grows harder especially if they have lived long enough to see the world around them taking on the appearance of a cartoon episode in Mad Magazine. In the new world order Chicken Little wins a Nobel Prize for his part in the great distraction. Law makers are busy passing laws to protect perversion and Hollywood brings up the rear with a full compliment of fluff to make it all just so darn entertaining.
It isn’t about who is playing the fiddle while Rome burns. It is about the fact that children burn too. Christ said that anyone who offended or harmed the children would be better off if he were anchored with a stone and thrown into the ocean. (Mark 9:42) There is absolutely no reason to believe that he wasn’t also referring to the unborn in this pronouncement.
Some children were named while still in the womb by God or the angels but Christ had the distinction of being named before he was ever conceived. How far back does God go when he refers to the offense we so callously lay on children? I would say beware, it may go all the way from eternity to eternity.
I have a friend that is heralded for being the world’s largest internet evangelist. He hosts a live TV program every morning and sends well written and powerful daily devotionals to over forty thousand people a day. He espouses the idea of using a film of an actual abortion to shock people into looking at what is really going on in the bloodied rooms of the clinics around the nation. I find it hard to disagree with him but I’m fairly sure that not everyone will respond to this favorably. The hard part would be finding a national media platform that would show the entire matter in its horrific detail from beginning to end. Put another “don’t hold your breath" here.
Another possibility would be to show the child to the expectant mother and the father if possible. The new 3-D ultrasound technology adds a whole new dimension to this that has not been available until recently. New computer aging enhancement software could also be utilized to bring the knowledge of what is really going on in a woman’s uterus to the light without being the least bit negative.
The new techniques can show parents what the baby will look like when it is born and even further ahead in time. The prospective parents can see the child they would have to wrap up and rock gently to sleep or feed. Its character and humanity would be harder to deny or resist.
I had the good fortune of hearing a story repeated by my wife about the 3-D ultrasound her niece had undergone. Later I asked questions to her niece myself. As she recounted the event to me, others in the room both men and women laughed, gasped and their faces lit up with smiles as she described every facet of the procedure.
The 3-D image is a thousand times more revealing than the older ultrasound results and she said it was like watching her tiny unborn laying in his crib and acting out his little personality quirks and tendencies.
Both parents watched in awe as the child slept with both hands over his head. He moved from time to time but was obviously sleeping so the parents not wanting to disturb him waited a full forty five minutes before gently poking mom’s belly to disturb him. At several points he responded to the poking with a grimace and began to cry. He wasn’t too keen about being woken up.
After he was fully awake he managed to move and twist until he finally was facing his parents. He seemed almost inquisitive but he must have been hungry. They said he was a big boy and a layer of fat could be seen folding over on his neck.
He reached down to grab his foot. With a deliberate yank he tried to pull his foot up into his mouth much like a baby pulls a bottle to his mouth, he missed his mouth and poked his eye with his own foot. He was startled and needless to say so was his parents who grimaced together at the result of his poor aim.
Undaunted he simply gave up on his foot and pulled his hand down to his mouth and began to suck his thumb. Both the leg pull and the thumb sucking were done with the right hand. Being right handed was to be his fate. Being watched and adored by his loving parents was also his fate and his good fortune in that magic moment in time.
His grandmother who was present during the sonogram exclaimed that he looked so clear and alive that she wished she could just reach in and take the child into her arms for a while and then lay him down gently in his bed.
If pregnant moms and their partners could see only this much wouldn’t they be hard pressed to reconsider any notion of an abortion. I believe they would.
In preparation for his birth his parents chose a name then began to buy him clothing and furnishings for his own room. They arranged baby showers and answered countless questions of how he was progressing that his relatives and his parent’s friends were asking almost daily. All this looking and preparing and anticipation were for a human baby not a fetus.
All of that preparation and enthusiasm juxtaposed against the cold preparation to bring his life to an end in a cold sterile abortion clinic is like the difference between life and death. No, it is the difference between life and death.

Another of your great articles. I commend you for standing up for these biblical truths which are being so grosssly ignored here in the U.S.
Abortion, global warming and evolution are now facing extreme criticism not just from the religious right, but from leading scientists and philosophers as well. I believe the day is swiftly approaching that proponents of the latter two will become the laughing stock of society due to the extraordinary amount of scientific information coming to light. And proponents of abortion are now facing utter disgust from those who still believe in morality.
Regardless of civil law, abortion is the lowest of acts committed by humans. It has no place in civilized society and is not extant in the animal kingdom. The only people involved in abortions who can expect to spend eternity in heaven are the innocent victims and any who repent with sincere Godly sorrow. Even they will have a difficult time finding a way to compensate for their crime. Respond to this comment

Dear Reverend,
First, I would suggest that you do what your Evangelical brothers and sisters have already done and get on board with "thinking green" and save alot more children than you think. After all, as Christians aren't we to be stewards of our bodies as well as our land? On the subject of abortion, here's a real story that leaves out part of the REAL truth. I have been friends with a senior pastor of a mega-church in the Chicagoland area. Years ago his rebellious daughter became pregnant at the age of 15. He sent her away to live out-of-state with relatives during the pregnancy and after the delivery of the child. As far as I am aware, apart from family members, I was the only soul that knew. I asked him why he sent her away. His response was that he was embarrassed and that he wanted to protect her from the shame of the congregation! My point is, conservative Christians beliefs don't always match experience - cognitive dissonance. Oh yes, people love to go on about "saving the babies," but who wants to care for them or at least not judge the parent who has a child out of wedlock? Christians are great at talking about prevention, but not good about teaching responsible sexual behavior and supporting those who have made a life-altering mistake. Hey, I'm done preaching. LOL Thank you and have a good day! Respond to this comment

Yes Rev, Bresciani, Divine Mercy in My Soul speaks to another nation that was the leading abortion capital in the world at one time. Many may not know it in todays society but back in the 30's that was Poland. Out of that nation came a future Saint, providing a number of prophies concerning specific punishments that would fall upon them, that one might say if they believe all came to pass, the bringing to power of a Pope from that nation, the new church and the end times. Now many will laugh but one has to take a hard look at what I percieve is the darkness which has decended in my opinion upon this nation. The Ethical Relativity that sweeps all institutions and our society. Yes, is it all part of some greater plan? I think so. But those who ignore the death of an innocent and do not repent will understand when the time comes. Respectfully, RTM Respond to this comment

James, points well taken. Unless we walk the talk we are wasting everyones time. I must say it is sad that for all Christians and anti-abortionists have done to date they are still 50,000,000 babies too late. I support the effort and I also believe that kindness and forgiveness should accompany all our efforts when dealing with those who are considering or have already performed an abortion.

Thanks for you vote of confidence anonymous. We can use the support and the unity for this serious national problem. Pray for me as I will for you.

Robert M. I was wondering when you were going to weigh in. Good to hear your views on the matter. Yes, Pope John Paul was indeed a one of a kind Pope. I am not Catholic but I always held John Paul in the highest regard.

Great article, Rev MB. I am seeing fewer and fewer of articles like this these days. I would like to point out that Avis Ward IS walking the walk with her home for unwed mothers. I am so proud of her! Wish we had more Christians like Avis. Respond to this comment
» left by Rev Michael from Bresciani (1 year 51 days ago.)
Thanks April, I am glad to hear that about Avis Ward. Perhaps I will call on her to hear her views, opinions and experiences at some future time.
I recently spoke with Carol Everett briefly. She one ran abortion clinics in Texas but has since become a staunch pro life advocate. Her work is known nationally now. She has such a stirring testimony.
I have been talking with the star of the new movie Noelle and will be writing a movie review of that film that I'm sure I will submit to Search Warp among others. It has a powerful pro-life theme and is a very dramitic movie as well. It is set for release around the nation on December 7, 2007.

It concerns me that people who preach pro-life never go beyond anti-abortionism. People make mistakes, especially the young but definitely not only. When that mistake results in a pregnancy, so often there is only the mother who must deal with the consequences of that mistake. Her entire life is affected. The father so often is not involved and too easily just walks away from the entire situation. The mother is left with all the consequences and affects. Their decision is not only to keep or to abort. It is how to adjust to an entirely different life. Although there is less stigma attached than there used to be, it is actually more difficult for an unwed, single or young mother to make a life for herself and her child than it is for others. It takes much support: financial, physical and emotional to successfully raise children, in any circumstances. It is more than doubly so as a single parent. Therefore, surely, rather than preach about pro-life only as an anti-abortion issue, pro-life should be about support of life in all it's facets, both before and after an unwanted or unexpected pregnancy occurs; should involve not only the mother and her family, but the father and his family, and the community. If the life of the unborn child is valuable, then so, too, is the life of the mother; and the younger she is, the more this is true in terms of every type of support. And forgiveness, surely, is a Christian principle which should apply to those who make mistakes, especially when the consequence results in new life. So, rather than focus on the negative, why not open up new possibilities of living for those who find themselves in this situation, and ensure that, if a mistake is made, there are viable options to keeping the child rather than aborting it? Being dogmatic and judgemental rarely furthers any cause, especially in the long term.

No one is being judgmental here or dogmati just honest. I presented the first option in this article which is to recognize that it is a human being not a fetus or a piece of meat to be discarded with other refuse. Pro life centers have many options now and help for young and single mothers including putting the child up for adoption.
Fear of pregnancy was the old worlds birth control. The Bible sometimes called the decent upbringing of a child laced with a bit of that fear "the guide of youth."
Today's youth have media, sex ed and parents who let it all swing in a liberal circus of whatever feels good. Last time I looked the laws of reciprocation were still in effect. The modern vbernacular may use the term Karma but by any other name it is still the same "we reap what we sow."
I am not suggesting that part of reaping should be harshness and judgment but I am also not willing to say responsibility should be suspended because the prospect of a great life has been seriously limited for a pregnant mother.
Life goes on and there is a way. No one can forever run away and sending a baby into eternity to protect our own future is the just another way of running away.

Now here is an interesting comparison. Wasting lives of babies of iraqi mothers, just because there was a possibility that in one o those houses were "insurgents". Hundreds of children die in US army's attacks, not fetus chidren, but the ones whose mothers know their behaviour day in and day out. What do you say about that kind of wasting lives? Respond to this comment
» left by Rev Michael from Bresciani (1 year 9 days ago.)
No lives should ever be wasted. If a lot of children are losing their lives in Iraq then it is wrong. My father used to say "two wrongs don't make a right."
Having said that let me also say that whatever is going in in Iraq cannot be used to justify what is going on here at home. Both matters need attention.
