Potential

Human potential is unlimited. When I published this piece in July of 2014 I could feel in my heart that the beginning of the end had begun for Planned Parenthood. Today the abortion industry is under scrutiny like it never has been before. For the first time in a long time there is real hope that nearly a third of all unborn children will not die at the hands of a blood-thirsty abortion industry. There is real hope that the unlimited potential that lies in every new life will be allowed to flourish, just as it was intended.

At the moment of conception each of us has already been given an expiration date.  Most of us go through life in denial, thinking we’ll be the exception, while in the back of our mind we all know our time will surely come. Most of us will never begin our last day on earth knowing it is our last day on earth.  When the end comes we will all be held accountable for the time we were given and how we spent our gift of life.  As much as many of us would rather deny this reality, it is reality, none the less.

As I’ve written on numerous occasions, I believe each of us is conceived with unlimited potential.  There are no limits to what each of us can become and achieve other than the limits we impose upon ourselves. Since 1973 in America 56 million Universally unique human beings…

It's Never Wrong to Do the Right Thing

It’s Never Wrong to Do the Right Thing

I heard these words yesterday and they moved me.  They reminded me why I’m willing to spend the rest of my life, if need be, to end the practice of abortion.  They reminded me that even if the work I do does not yield the intended result, I am working for a just cause and doing what I know in my heart is the right thing.  Too many of us acknowledge evil but fail to confront it.  I’m consumed by the evil of abortion, and I’m willing to give everything and lose everything to rid the world of it.

Sparing unborn children from the horror of abortion is the right thing to do.  The abortion industry’s agenda is killing children and making money.  The suffering and violent deaths of millions of unborn children in America would have never happened, nor would it continue today if enough men and women of principle had stood against evil and done the right thing.   I can feel in my heart that we are living in the time when the industry of death that kills thousands of children every day will be brought to its knees.

A year ago, very few of us would have believed that Congress would be taking steps to defund Planned Parenthood. No one would have predicted that horrifying videos of Planned Parenthood harvesting the organs of dead babies for sale would come to light.  There is overwhelming evidence that Planned Parenthood should not be the benefactor of over $500 million in taxpayer money every year.  To put it in perspective, each of Planned Parenthood’s 668 clinics receives nearly $1 million every year from the U.S. taxpayers.

It’s never too late for even the workers at Planned Parenthood to do the right thing.  They could stop killing babies for money tomorrow.  Knowing what the right thing to do is, and not having the courage to take action is no excuse for not taking action.  Our gift of life is granted with conditions.  It obligates us to protect our fellow humans at every stage of development, from conception to grave.  We all know it’s the right thing to do, but far too many of us will abdicate our responsibility in the hope that someone else will do our share.

Doing the right thing can subject you to ridicule and worse.  Many will tell you what you know in your heart is right, is wrong.  They’ll tell you to go along with the crowd and to not make waves.  They’ll try to convince you that the cost of doing the right thing is not worth it.  Don’t listen to them.  It’s never wrong to do the right thing, and I’ll never stop, whatever the cost.

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act

Comments

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act

For 2 years now, Congress has been toying with the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, and all they have accomplished is, well…….nothing.  The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act would ban dismemberment abortions, or more plainly stated, ripping a 5 month old unborn baby apart in order to kill it, with the baby able to feel the pain of every rip and tear as it is killed.

You would think that in a country founded primarily on every human beings’ inherent right to life, bills such as this would not be necessary.  A reasonable person could also conclude that in a country like America it would never be legal to kill over 1 million unborn children every year.  I only wish that all my fellow Americans could be haunted by the visions of the bloody dead bodies of innocent children being ripped from their mothers’ wombs, as I am, every hour of every day.  Maybe then, we would realize, as a society, that funding evil organizations like Planned Parenthood and allowing thousands of innocent babies to be killed every day is contrary to the principles we were founded upon, and flies in the face of civilized human behavior.

Why are we debating whether pain-capable babies should be protected from agonizing deaths when our focus should be on protecting every unborn child at every stage of development?  If we fail to stop the elective killing of any unborn child instead of debating the merits of not killing them only if they can feel it, we are lost.   When we find ourselves arguing over whether we hurt a child while killing it, we miss the point.  If we simply stop killing unborn children, the timing of when and how they can be killed is rendered mute.

In a perfect world we would not have to pass laws to prevent the killing of unborn children, but until we change enough hearts and minds, we have to pass bills like the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.  The House has already passed their version of it.  It’s not perfect, but it’s a start.  The Senate failed to reach cloture even though their version got a majority 54 votes.  Harry Reid’s Senate approved Federal judges with the so-called nuclear option, a simple 51 vote majority.  If the Republican leadership had any courage, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act would be passed under the same rules.

Even if the Senate musters the courage to pass this bill, President Obama will veto it.  I look forward to the President explaining to the American people why he supports Planned Parenthood and why he doesn’t have a problem with dismemberment abortion.

If we stop allowing our unborn children to be killed by an industry of death tomorrow, 60 million will have already died.  Generations from now, when historians are able to objectively assess the events of this era, abortion, especially dismemberment abortion, will be seen as the greatest human tragedy of all time.

Letter to Kermit Gosnell #2: Republished

Letter to Kermit Gosnell #2: Republished

Two years ago I wrote my second letter to serial abortionist Kermit Gosnell.  Since he has nothing else to do for the rest of his life, I was hoping to get some insight into what makes a monster like him tick.  Like most of the letters I write to those on the pro-abortion side, I never received a reply.  Monsters like Kermit Gosnell are still out there, killing babies just before and just after birth.  We can put our heads in the sand and pretend it isn’t happening or we can shine the light of truth on pure evil.  I choose the latter.

The following letter, written to Inmate #68012-066 on Sept. 25, 2015 was my attempt to inform the uninformed about the dirty job of killing children for money, and the vile individuals who kill for a living.

 

 

Dr. Kermit Gosnell

Inmate #68012-066

Federal Detention Center

P.O. Box 562

Philadelphia, Pa.  19105

September 25, 2013

Dr. Gosnell:

While you’re reaching out to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative and conducting interviews from your prison cell, how about reaching out to the pro-life community.  I, for one, would really like to know what makes an animal like you tick.  Since you have all the time in the world to characterize your crimes against humanity as your personal crusade against poverty, why not take a little time to show some remorse. Instead of trying to start a dialogue on prison and justice reform, start one on ending abortion.

By some accounts, over 44,000 children entered your clinic alive and left dead.  They did nothing wrong.  They committed no crimes.  You sentenced them to death and killed them for money, and now that the death penalty is off the table for you, you dishonor their lives by trying to justify your actions.  Dr. Gosnell, calling yourself a ‘soldier in the world on poverty’ makes about as much sense as Gomer Pyle calling himself a Navy SEAL.

During the 17 years you were killing children in your Philadelphia hellhole, your colleagues at Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry were busy killing over 20,000,000 babies.  As a horrifying part of this deadly equation, you were one of the ones they referred the very late-term, about to be born, cases to.  They all knew what you were doing and they were all complicit in your crimes.  They all said nothing and they all had no comment when your slaughterhouse was finally discovered.  Sir, as part of your defense, your attorney argued that the babies whose spinal cords you snipped were already dead.  If they were already dead, why did you have to take any further action?

Dr. Gosnell, you can peel back the curtain on the darkest side of America’s abortion industry.  You can name names and reveal the ugly truth about who did what and who looked the other way while you killed viable and even post-birth children.  You can explain how you were able to kill thousands of children for nearly 2 decades without a single regulatory agency visiting your filthy death house. You know where all the bodies are buried, so to speak.

There are more of you out there, and I want to find them and lock their asses up.  Roe v Wade unleashed a modern day Holocaust on America’s children and one more dead child is one too many.  Why not spend the rest of your miserable life working to save our children instead of trying to justify why you killed so many of them.

My letters to you are published on my pro-life blog at www.prolifepoppop.com.  Since you have nowhere to go, write back and I’ll publish your reply, unedited.

Gutless

Our elected officials on both sides of the aisle are gutless.  Politics and staying in office are more important to them than the sanctity of human life.  They would rather continue to funnel $500 million a year to Planned Parenthood than force the President to veto defunding legislation.  Same goes for the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Our elected leaders agree to hold “show votes” that they know will go nowhere so they can go home and tell their constituents that they tried.  Trying doesn’t cut it.  Doing is the only way to get anything done.

Some things in life are worth fighting for and worth risking everything for.  If we can’t count on our elected leaders to fight for the lives of innocent children, we need new elected leaders.  I’ll vote for anyone of any party who pledges to fight for the right to life of the unborn and vows to do whatever it takes to defund Planned Parenthood and put the abortion industry out of business.  It’s way past time that we stop allowing over 1 million unborn children to be killed in America’s abortion mills every year.

As I write this, the most abortion-friendly President in history has just welcomed the Pope to America.  Senate Democrats, at the urging of the President, killed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act hours before the Pope arrived.  Senate Republicans knew what the result would be, and held the vote with a wink and a nod to Harry Reid, and tomorrow the corruptocrats of both parties will go on; business as usual.

I’m sick of business as usual.  Business as usual means that over 3,000 innocent babies will be killed tomorrow, and every tomorrow for the foreseeable future.  I’m sick of Washington’s talking heads telling us what they can’t do and why they can’t do it.  And I’m sick of my hard-earned tax dollars being sent to an evil organization that kills babies and sells their body parts.

The President has signaled that he is willing to shut down the government rather than cut funding to Planned Parenthood.  I say shut it down.  Let the President explain to the American public why funding Planned Parenthood is more important than keeping the government running, even if it is dysfunctional and running on borrowed money.

The courage of your convictions should not be driven by political expediency or concern for the consequences of your actions.  The courage of your convictions should be driven by doing the right thing and following what you know in your heart you have to do.  If more politicians would follow their heart instead of the polls, imagine what America would look like.

One Year Later

Last September ISIS was brutalizing the Middle East and thousands of unborn children were being killed every day in the country I love.  Fast forward 1 year, and nothing much has changed.  The worst President in our country’s history is still inept and still clueless.  When I wrote the following letter to President Obama a little over a year ago, I was frustrated with the lack of leadership and moral clarity coming from the Oval Office.  A year later, my frustration continues to grow.

The terrorists of the world can see the weakness America is projecting, and they’re emboldened by it.  As human beings, we are honor bound to protect innocent lives whether they are in the path of terrorists or resting comfortably in their mothers’ wombs.

Since the President didn’t answer this letter the first time around, I figured I had nothing to lose by taking another shot at it.  The following letter, written on Sept. 3rd of last year, states my case for fighting terrorism and saving babies.  I await the President’s reply.

 

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW

Washington, D.C.  20500

Attn:    President Barack Obama

September 3, 2014

Mr. President:

Shortly after 9/11 your good friend and mentor Jeremiah Wright said “America’s chickens have come home to roost.”  The culture of death in America’s abortion mills and the rise of fanatical terrorist organizations throughout the world is the Universe telling us to change our ways.  Statements from a racist hate-monger like Jeremiah Wright mean nothing.  Human suffering and death at the hands of murderous organizations like Planned Parenthood and ISIS are real and present dangers to our way of life and must be dealt with now; not kicked down the road for future generations to deal with.

Statements from you that an organization like ISIS can be reduced to a manageable threat level shows that you truly are an amateur.  Mr. President, the civilized world cannot co-exist with evil; it must eliminate evil.  How do we end the practice of killing our unborn children for money or stop Islamic thugs from murdering thousands of innocent people if we don’t even have the courage to call evil out by name?  Your administration refuses to call ISIS an Islamic terrorist organization even though they use the word Islamic in their name.  You call the elective killing of an unborn child abortion, pregnancy termination, and a woman’s right to choose.  You lack the courage to call Islamic goons what they are and turn your head as over a million unborn children are murdered in the womb every year in America, and wonder why our chickens have come home to roost.

Mr. President, your ineptitude and contemptuous disregard for moral clarity have placed the world and your country in danger.  You allow thousands of innocent American children to be killed every day, but you’re reluctant to take the fight to a gang of blood-thirsty terrorists.  Sir, if any of your advisors have a shred of honesty in them they will tell you that you are projecting an image of weakness to the world.  Like it or not, we are in a war with Islamic terrorists.  You have 2 choices; win the war or do nothing and allow the world to descend into anarchy.  This is no time for the leader of the free world to become a linguini-spined, blubbering dunce.  Get with the program and start doing what you swore an oath to do.

Mr. President, this is a seminal moment for America.  We have a unique opportunity to show the world the true meaning of courage and commitment.  We can end the killing of our unborn children and show the world how we respect the Right of every unborn child to be born and to make the most of the gift of life they have been given.  We can show the world that we have the moral courage to fight those who would take innocent lives in the name of an insane ideology and to eliminate evil from the face of the earth.
