In this nation, we do not administer capital punishment on a convicted criminal unless that criminal has been found guilty “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Yet, we have administered capital punishment on 53 million unborn children in this nation without any due process whatsoever. The “crime” of which they have been found “guilty” is not being human, or not being human yet, or not being human enough.
If this nation were to grant to our own God-given children the same protection that we give to convicted criminals guilty of a capital crime, there would be no abortions because the evidence is insurmountable that these 53 million babies were, in fact, human. These unborn children have specifically human DNA. They are not puppies or kitties. They frequently have a different blood type than their mother. They are already “programed” with their own unique DNA encoded into them so that they are already their own person. The only thing needed for them to demonstrate their humanity is a bit of time.
A few weeks ago, the United States Supreme Court once again has enabled the continued murder of children. It says that murdering children is “settled law” that cannot be changed. It has declared the law of the land to consider the right of a mother to murder her child as a “fundamental” constitutional right. One can only ponder the human inventors, doctors or artists we have destroyed.
This election cycle, there is no issue of greater import than 53 million dead children. Therefore, there is no greater decision to be made than the selection of the next one, two or three Supreme Court justices. When you go to the poles this November, try to imagine 53 million headstones commemorating those already lost when you vote.
To those people who consider themselves “pro-choice,” I would simply submit that the bumper stickers that read, “keep your hands off my body” fail to recognize that the body that is being aborted is not your body!
