The Problem With Abortion

The Problem With Abortion

Contrary to popular opinion, the problem with abortion isn’t that it’s legal; the problem is that otherwise rational people don’t have a problem with it.  Abortion is the end result of a systemic erosion of basic values in our society and a conditioned response to a no consequences mindset.  We got to this point by entertaining ourselves with senseless acts of violence, and in the process became desensitized to senseless acts of violence; like abortion. We’ve abandoned the concept of personal responsibility and bought into a herd mentality that we’ve been tricked into thinking will absolve us of the consequences of our individual actions.

In January of 1973, five out of nine old white guys in black robes declared that Roe v Wade was the law of the land. Over the last 42 years nearly 60 million unborn children have been legally killed under cover of law.  The law isn’t the problem. The demand for abortion is the problem.  Legal or not, if the demand for abortion wasn’t there, there would be no Planned Parenthood or the parasitic leaches like NARAL and the NAF that depend on them.  If the demand for abortion wasn’t there, another unborn child wouldn’t be killed every 26 seconds of every hour of every day in America.

We all share in the blame for the thousands of children killed every day in our nation’s abortion mills.  Those of us on the pro-life side could have worked harder on behalf of today’s innocent victims.  The citizens of America making a living in the abortion industry, could have gone home and looked into the eyes of their own children, and realized the shared humanity between their children and the ones they helped kill today.  Our elected leaders  could look inside their hearts and realize that, like it or not, they are looked upon by those they lead as role models.  The positions they support and the behaviors they endorse are deemed the norm by the ones that put them in office.

The problem with abortion is its definition; the act of killing an unborn child.  The problem with trying to justify killing an innocent child is that there is no justification.  I can continue to write about the horror of killing innocent children and the moral ramifications to a society that allows abortion on demand until my fingers wear to the bone.  If my actions don’t save lives or help end the practice of abortion, I’ve accomplished nothing.  If I give up and hope that someone else will take my place, I’ve wasted the gift of life I was given and turned my back on the calling I feel in my heart.

The problem of abortion won’t go away on its own.  Neither will I.

It is What it Is

But only if we accept that it is what it is.  I refuse to accept that electing to have your unborn child killed in America is deemed to be acceptable behavior. The fact that it’s legal doesn’t make it right.  As I’ve written before, everything that happened in Nazi Germany’s World War 2 concentration camps was legal at the time; but that didn’t make it right.  If an unborn child is determined to have Down Syndrome in America there’s a 90% chance that it will be aborted.  It is what it is if we accept it and choose to do nothing.

When I hear someone say “it is what it is” I often hear resignation.  When I hear a pro-abortion politician say they want abortion to be safe, rare, and legal, I hear BS.  It’s easy to justify killing innocent children if you call it anything other than what it is.  If you truly believe that a woman should have the right to have her unborn child killed, you should have the courage to call it what it is without hiding behind words like abortion, pregnancy termination, and reproductive health care.   If you don’t have a problem with over 1 million unborn children being killed in America every year, speak up and tell me why those of us who were allowed to be born should be deciding who shouldn’t be afforded the same accommodation.

Life is what it is.  It’s not created by a man and a woman; but a gift that is granted by the Creator of the universe. When we refuse to accept His gifts we are saying that He has made a mistake.  When we intentionally end the life of one of His new creations we bear the consequences of our actions.  We all received our animating spark of life for a reason, just like we all were given the free will to chart our life’s course.  I feel confident in my assumption that none of us were created to kill children.

Abortion is what it is; the killing of innocent, defenseless children for money.  You can call it whatever you want, but in the end, it is what it is; millions of dead children for no good reason.  None of us can imagine the consequences of allowing nearly 60 million children to be killed in America since 1973.  We’re all accountable for how we treat the weakest among us, and those of us who choose to do nothing to stop the slaughter are just as culpable as the ones doing the killing.

Reality can be hard to take at times, but once again, it is what it is.  I will work until my dying breath to change the status quo where killing a child that’s not quite perfect or killing one that showed up at a bad time is done thousands of times every day in the country I love.  When I say it is what it is I’m not saying it in resignation.  I’m saying it in acknowledgment of an evil practice that must be ended and with determination that I will do everything in my power to see that it is.

Letter to President Obama #103

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW

Washington, D.C.  20500

Attn:    President Barack Obama

 March 3, 2015

 Mr. President:

A true leader, a man of honor and integrity, addressed a joint session of Congress today; and you were nowhere to be seen.  As a matter of fact, you had put the word out days ago that you would be watching ESPN or listening to Jay Z as Benjamin Netanyahu spoke.  Your petulance and disrespect for one of our staunchest allies is breathtaking; but we’ve come to expect no less from an American administration that’s become the laughing-stock of the world.

Mr. President, while Benjamin Netanyahu is fighting for the survival of his nation, you seem to be hell-bent on destroying ours.  In the process, you are negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran that essentially gives them everything they want, including the capability to produce nuclear weapons.  A skeptic could conclude that you don’t care about Israel.  For the record, count me as a skeptic.

Then again, there are lots of things you don’t seem to care about; like the lives of our unborn children, their security and financial future if they’re lucky enough to be born, and the rule of law in a country that’s supposed to be governed by the rule of law.  Come to think of it, about the only thing you really seem to care about is exercising your obsessive narcissism and trying to appear competent in a world that sees you as a joke.

Mr. President, if I’m coming off as disrespectful, then I’ve made my point.  While I wish you no harm, I just want you to go away.  Spend the next 2 years on the golf course; travel the world on my dime, or just hang out at the White House with Al Sharpton.  Just stop trying to be something you’re not; a leader.

Mr. President, in spite of all the damage you’ve done as the worst President in our history; most of it can be undone as soon as you are shown the door.  What can’t be undone are the deaths of over 8 million unborn children who will have died in America’s abortion mills during your tenure.  You can’t take back your ringing endorsement of Planned Parenthood and you can’t get a redo on your inaction as millions of innocent children died.

Sir, while I’m profoundly embarrassed that you are the leader of the free world, this too shall pass.  If you choose not to take my advice to do nothing for the next 2 years, put on your big boy pants and dust off your pocket constitution.  Reread your oath of office and think about the welfare of your country for a change, and not yourself.  After 103 letters to you over the past couple years, I’m expecting to be audited any day now.  I’m confident however, that the IRS is just as screwed up as everything else in your administration, so I’ll take my chances.

As always, my letters to you are published on my pro-life blog at www.prolifepoppop.com.  Write back and I’ll publish it, unedited.

Find Your Song

Find Your Song

Henry_David_ThoreauHenry David Thoreau said “The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation, and go to the grave with the song still in them.”  He knew that every human being represents unlimited potential, and that very few of us are able to find our true purpose.  I believe most of us feel deep down that we are here at this time, at this place to do great things, and that all that stands between each of us and greatness is fear.  Most of us are afraid to take risks, afraid to move outside our comfort level; afraid to take the leap of faith that is necessary to do great things.  Many of us will live our entire lives in quiet desperation, and only at the end realize what we could have done.

Thousands of unborn children die every day in America’s abortion mills; never getting the chance to bring their universally unique songs to the world.  We could save them all if enough of us had the courage to stand up for every human beings’ inherent right to life.  The abortion industry could be shuttered tomorrow if the demand for their deadly services was no longer there.  The demand for abortion would disappear if every mother contemplating having their unborn child killed would ask themselves what they would want if they could trade places with the tiny human being living inside them.

I was well into my fifties before I realized I was living my life in quiet desperation and accepted my calling to end abortion. I would be less than honest if I didn’t say that fear of failure is still standing between me and taking the leap of faith that I know I must take in order to work full time for the cause I believe so deeply in.  I seek the courage daily to leave my well paid job behind and to risk everything for the world’s unborn children.  My fear is not for me, but for those who depend on me.  Knowing this, I also know that if I commit fully to my cause, I can do great things.

I feel in my heart that abortion will end in my lifetime, and I don’t want to leave this world with my song still in me.  I want to feel a sense of satisfaction as I draw my last breath; a sense of satisfaction that I gave my all for the children of the world, and that my body of work on their behalf made a difference.  I hope to be able to look down from Heaven and to watch the children I played a part in saving, as they live long and happy lives, serving their fellow man.  Our individual legacies live on long after we’re gone.  Find your song and make the world a better place.

#TakeThat

The worst SOS in our history

In a brazenly brutal use of force, our State Department has launched an all out offensive against ISIS; on Twitter.  Yes, the country with the most lethal military on earth has decided that hashtags are our weapon of choice to defeat a cadre of bloodthirsty terrorists bent on establishing a worldwide caliphate.  While ISIS is chopping off heads and torturing children, we’re shutting down their Twitter accounts.  I’m expecting the unconditional surrender of ISIS any day now.  Can anyone say #Naive Idiots?

We’ve turned the keys to the world’s only remaining superpower over to a bunch of amateurs. These amateurs allow thousands of our own children to be killed every day in our abortion mills, but when it comes to giving the terrorists a dose of their own medicine, our leaders are suffering from acute testicular atrophy.  I’m convinced that the world is embroiled in an epic battle of good against evil.  Evil is placing no limits on what they won’t do to impose their will.  If the good guys aren’t equally committed to prevailing over evil, it’s not hard to see what the outcome will be.

When we fail to protect our children and soft peddle our response to unspeakable acts of terrorism, we project weakness, and evil feeds on weakness.  For over 40 years now, our nations’s abortion industry has taken advantage of our leaders’ lack of interest in standing up to a culture of death.  Make no mistake; the terrorists see how fleeting our resolve can be, and are emboldened by our tepid response to their barbarity.  When they behead Americans and see our President beat a hasty retreat to the golf course, they see victory.

The signs of genocide are everywhere in Iraq, Syria, and Libya.  The Middle East is on fire and most of the world remains silent. The world saw all the same signs 70 years ago as Nazi Germany exterminated over 6 million Jews.  Everyone knew what was happening but no one wanted to be the first one to take action.  This time, with social media and instant information, the whole world can see the carnage.  The enemy tells us what they are going to do and then shows us that they are doing it.  Our response is to tell them what we won’t do to defeat them and to give them our timetable for doing so.

While I’m not a military expert, I’m reasonably certain that we can’t defeat ISIS by out-Tweeting them.  Political correctness and “measured responses” to terrorism will get us nothing.  We have the capability to rid the world of ISIS in short order.  Without being hamstrung with absurd rules of engagement and limitations on the use of force, our military heroes can get this done.   All we need is the political will to make it happen.  This is a fight that we can’t avoid.  We can do it now or do it later, but we have to understand that the threat will not go away on its own.  As a backstop, if all else fails, we can trot out James Taylor again and have him serenade Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi with “You’ve Got a Friend.”  That should do it.  #TakeThat.

More of the Same

capitol3I had big hopes this year when the Republican controlled House and Senate were seated..  Both chambers had promised to move quickly on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act and both have failed miserably.  If they ever get around to passing this bill it will be vetoed by President Obama.  His veto will spark a much needed debate and raise awareness of the brutality of our nation’s abortion industry.  I believe this debate will eventually result in the passage of this life-saving bill.

While our elected officials play politics and cook up backroom deals, children are dying by the thousands.  I was optimistic that this year it would be different.  Now I see that I was duped again into believing that some politicians would actually do what they said they would do if I would just vote for them.  Both the House and Senate have pro-life majorities.  They can save lives and pass legislation to make it harder to have your child killed in America, but they would have us believe that they have more important things to do.  On a national level, it is just as easy today to walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic and have your unborn child killed as it was before last November’s elections.  From my perspective, our country is being run by elected leaders who fail to see or choose to ignore the wishes of their constituents.  We can and must do better.

It makes no difference to the thousands of unborn children who will die in America’s abortion mills tomorrow, whether the person killing them is a Republican or Democrat; they will still die.  Unlike you and me, they can’t decide what course their life will follow.  They can’t protest their own killing, and are powerless to defend themselves.  Every unborn child must depend entirely upon the good will and kindness of others for their very survival.  As a society, we have failed the ones who need us the most.  We’ve made it legal to kill them for any reason, at any time, right up to the moment of their birth.  We even send evil empires, like Planned Parenthood, hundreds of millions of dollars every year so they can kill even more children.

We get the leaders we deserve, and the consequences of our actions against our unborn children have placed us in the position we are now in.  We could end the killing tomorrow, but we don’t have the will to accept the undeniable truth that every new life has the absolute right to simply live.  We take it upon ourselves to decide which child should live and which should die, all the while doing everything we can to preserve our own lives.  We look forward to all of our tomorrows, and deny thousands of children one more tomorrow every day.

Our elected leaders will not lead unless they are lead by us.  They will only take action if it leads to them keeping their jobs.  We have a moral obligation to do right by the weakest among us.  We must demand that our elected leaders do our bidding.  We must hold them to the highest standards and we must individually do the same.  Our children deserve no less.

Letter to Planned Parenthood #56

plannedparenthood64Planned Parenthood Federation of America

1110 Vermont Ave.  NW

Suite 300

Washington, D.C.  20005

Attn:    Cecile Richards

 February 24, 2015

 Ms. Richards:

The thousands of children your industry killed today were given the gift of life for a reason.  They were never meant to be killed just as their lives were beginning.  Just like you and me, they were granted the gift of life so they could exercise their free will and make their universally unique impressions on the world.  When we kill our children we put into motion forces and events that affect the world in ways that none of us can foretell.  When we fail to protect the most vulnerable among us we collectively diminish our humanity and allow evil to gain a foothold.

Ms. Richards, your organization, Planned Parenthood, is the leading cause of death for children in America; but you already know this.  Over the past 80 years you’ve killed millions of children for nothing more than the blood money you could get for killing them.  While you claim to be protecting a woman’s right to choose, you actively promote the elective killing of unborn children from conception to the moment of their birth.  The evil of abortion will be looked upon by future historians as one of the greatest human tragedies of all time.  My goal is nothing short of the outright end of abortion in my lifetime.  Then, the historians can begin to tally the numbers and gauge the magnitude of the disaster you and your colleagues have inflicted upon the children of the world.

I try to comprehend the mindset of an organization like yours that awards bonuses to its affiliates who exceed their goal of dead children for the year.  I struggle to understand how someone can work all day in one of your abortion facilities, killing innocent children, and then go home to their own children.  I find it ironic that everyone working to make it easier to have your unborn child killed was allowed to be born themselves.  I’m saddened beyond measure to know that as I write this, your assembly line of death is churning out the bodies of hundreds of dead children.

Ms. Richards, I lie awake at night wondering how I can stop you from doing what you do.  While I’m not so naïve as to believe that this letter will ever reach your desk, I’m hopeful that someone in your office will read it and begin to think about what they do for a living.  I want you to know that I have dedicated the rest of my life, if need be, to shutting you down.  I want nothing for my efforts and the only thing you can do to make me stop is for you to stop killing children.  It’s your move.

As always, my letters to you are published on my pro-life blog at www.prolifepoppop.com.  Write back and I’ll publish it, unedited.

4 Years Later

Last week we celebrated my oldest grandson’s 4th birthday.  I find it miraculous that a little over 4 years ago he didn’t exist, and now I can’t imagine life without him.  That’s what life is; a miracle.  Out of nothingness comes a new life, and the world changes every time another heart begins to beat.  I’m fascinated by the animating life force that makes our hearts beat, allows virtually every cell in our bodies to die and be replaced every few months, and even makes our hair turn gray; all with no conscious effort on our part.  I’m intrigued that this life force can’t be created by man even though we can destroy it.

I accept the gift of life I was given as an opportunity to use my time on earth to find my purpose and to exercise my free will to pursue it.  My children and grandsons remind me that nothing is more important than working to save lives and protecting the weakest among us.  When I look into my grandsons’ eyes I see a little bit of me and a little bit of every other child that ever has and ever will be born.  When I look into their eyes I see that every child is universally unique and equally as priceless as any other.

By law, both of my grandsons could have been aborted right up to the moment of their birth.  As a matter of principle and in answer to the call I feel in my heart, I will work until I no longer can to end abortion and to protect the right to life that every unborn child was given by God.  I do so in honor of my grandsons and to insure that millions of their contemporaries are afforded the same right to life we all enjoy.  I know I was lucky to have been born in America, and I know that living in America carries with it the obligation to help others.

American exceptionalism made us the greatest country on earth.  Under our current leadership we are being told there is nothing special about being an American and that we should feel guilty for being free and prosperous.  Our leaders tell us we should be able to kill our unborn children for any reason, with no consequences.  They insult our intelligence by telling us that we can defeat terrorism by getting the terrorists jobs.  The President laments the fact that a criminal was shot dead in Ferguson, Missouri while assaulting a police officer, but has nothing to say about the thousands of unborn children that are killed every day in our nation’s abortion mills.

4 years after the birth of my first grandson I’m a different man.  The money and possessions, that I once thought were important, no longer have meaning to me.  I would give it all up to save one child’s life.  I accept that in the great scheme of things, I’m not important, but I also know that I can change the world if I truly believe that I can.  I believe I can, and won’t stop until I do.

Letter to President Obama #102

Barack ObamaThe White House

1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW

Washington, D.C.  20500

Attn:    President Barack Obama

 February 22, 2015

 Mr. President:

Radical Islamists are threatening to launch attacks on America’s shopping malls and, as you’ve done throughout your political career, you’re voting present. You abandoned the most vulnerable among us, our unborn children, years ago, and now you’re content to just play golf and attend fundraisers as the world implodes around us. You ignore our allies’ requests for military assistance in the war against ISIS, yet you have time to meet with clowns like Al Sharpton and seek his advice on race relations.

Mr. President, the over half a billion dollars you will send to Planned Parenthood this year would go a long way towards wiping out terrorism.  Apparently, you would rather see it spent wiping out the lives of over 1 million unborn American children.  Sir, if you spent a fraction of the effort you expend trying to make it easier to have your unborn child killed in America, on ridding the world of radical Islamic terrorism, the world would be a safer place.  And if you actually had the courage to call radical Islamic terrorism out by name; it would be a good starting point.

Tomorrow over 3,000 unborn children will be killed in America; about the same as the number of Americans killed by radical Islamic terrorists on 9/11.  Way back then, you were implying that we had it coming and got what we deserved.  And way back then, you had already voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.  A leader who focuses on allowing the children under his leadership to be killed is no leader at all.

While you dawdle, ISIS is raping, murdering, and pillaging its way across the Middle East.  Make no mistake; America, the great Satan in their eyes, is their ultimate target.  As they work their way towards America they are killing thousands of innocent children.  And as you do very little to stop them, our country is killing thousands of our own children every day.

Mr. President, there’s not much I can do against ISIS, other than fight them until my last breath if they make it to America, but I can fight for our unborn children.  I can and will do everything in my power to change the hearts and minds of you and your friends in the pro-abortion crowd.  I wake up every day to the nightmare of the country I love allowing its children to be butchered.  My resolve is stronger daily to put an end to the practice of abortion.

Mr. President, unlike you, I’m not afraid to call my enemies by name.  They are Planned Parenthood and all their colleagues in America’s abortion industry.  My goal is nothing less than total victory.  Maybe yours should be the same.

As always, my letters to you are published on my pro-life blog at www.prolifepoppop.com.  Write back and I’ll publish it, unedited.

Contradictions

Contradictions

Planned Parenthood and its ilk promote what they call “safe abortions.”  They rely on our ignorance and gullibility when they try to convince us that a procedure specifically designed to kill a human being is safe.   They know that practicing truth in advertising would be a much tougher sell if they called the service they provide “brutally murdering your unborn child for money”.  The abortion industry is very good at what they do.  They should be.  They’ve had nearly 60 million opportunities to practice.

The abortion industry survives on contradictions, deception, and lies.  They accuse the pro-life side of waging a war on women because we don’t believe a woman has the right to choose to have her child killed.  They say we’re waging a war on women when over half the babies they kill are little girls.  Planned Parenthood’s motto is “Care, No Matter What”, when all they really care about is how many babies they can kill and how much money they can make doing it. The abortion industry operates on a foundation of moral bankruptcy while claiming the moral high ground in women’s health care.

Even though science has conclusively proven that life begins at conception, Planned Parenthood would have you believe that the tiny humans they kill are anything but human and anything but alive.  To most of us, life is priceless. To Planned Parenthood, a life is only worth the price they can get for ending it.  They’re willing to resort to anything to make it easier to have your unborn child killed, and have a long history of lying, cheating, and breaking the law to carry on the mission of their racist, eugenicist founder.  As the darling of the far left, Planned Parenthood is held up as the model of social responsibility and the accepted solution when a woman wants to make that little problem just go away.

Planned Parenthood operates as a non-profit organization while making billions from the suffering and death of innocent children, all while receiving over half a billion dollars every year from the U.S. taxpayers.  They fight for legislation that favors their industry of death and smear anyone working to save their innocent victims.  They publish fancy brochures filled with smiling faces and promises of confidential reproductive health services.  What you won’t see are pictures of the blood and the babies they kill daily at a clip of about one every minute and a half.  Planned Parenthood promises quality care while preying on vulnerable young women.  They’ll provide what they call “abortion care” to girls under age 18 with a school ID or current class schedule as proof of age.

Even though abortion is the cash cow of Planned Parenthood, it’s hardly ever mentioned in their literature.  It seems that even though they are the leading cause of death for unborn children in America, they choose to promote themselves as a health care provider.  When you kill human beings for money you can call it anything you want; the end result remains the same.  The world is full of contradictions and obvious truths.  You can choose to live in the truth or bury your head in the sand of contradictions.
