The Problem With Abortion

The following piece that I wrote a year ago brings to mind the choice that America has in November. If we elect Bernie Sanders or Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend’s wife, we continue the string of pro-abortion, pro-Planned Parenthood Presidents that we’ve had under B.O. America’s children deserve better than being conceived in a country where the likelihood that they will be intentionally killed before they are born is a little better than 1 in 3.
Both choices on the Democrat side promise freebies to everyone and punishment to anyone with the audacity to be more successful than the government thinks they should be allowed to be. They promise to support Planned Parenthood and to make abortion more accessible, and to pay for it with our tax dollars.
Bernie will never be President, and based solely on her position on abortion, I’m voting for ABC (Anybody But Hillary).

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…

Through the Eyes of a Child

The day before my oldest grandson and best buddy turns 5, I’m thinking about a piece I wrote last May. Him, along with his little brother, are my main inspiration to work on behalf of the pro-life movement. Watching a hungry child eat, or a happy child at play are two of the most beautiful things in life. Observing them noodling out a problem through the perspective of total innocence is a lesson on how to live.
While we twist ourselves into knots over problems that really aren’t problems, they’re happy playing with the box their latest toy came in.
Children know how to prioritize: sleep, eat, play, repeat.
Watch a child. View your next so called problem through the eyes of a child and learn again to approach every day with a sense of awe.

I marveled on Mother’s Day at the look of sheer joy on my grandson’s face as he romped barefoot through the lawn sprinkler in my backyard.  He wasn’t thinking of the thousands of innocent children who would die in America’s abortion mills just a day later.  He was living in the moment, and feeling the joy of being alive; knowing that he was safe with me.  I shared his joy, but knew that by the next Mother’s Day we spend together, over 1 million unborn children will have been intentionally killed in the country I love.

We can learn a lot from our children and grandchildren.  I watch my grandsons as they experience, for the first time, all the things that most of us take for granted.  They haven’t been taught how to hate anyone or to be biased against anyone who looks different or speaks in a different language…

Moral Equivalence

Very little has changed since I wrote this piece a year ago. The day after we celebrated Thanksgiving the killing resumed in America’s abortion mills. The day after Thanksgiving ISIS is still spreading terror, and our feckless President still doesn’t have a plan to stop them. Measured responses against evil never work. Evil must be addressed with the intent and effort to totally annihilate evil, or evil will prevail.
A violent organization like ISIS can only be defeated with violence. A violent industry like America’s abortion industry can only be brought to its knees through acts of non-violence and a return to respect for the sanctity of every human life.
Attempting to grant moral equivalency, due to a lack of courage, or in the name of a political agenda, is a zero sum game and only leads to more of what you don’t want.
Moral equivalence is tough to prove and sought by everyone and everything seeking to justify the unjustifiable.

Pro Life Pop Pop

I’ve heard a lot of talk lately about moral equivalence.  When Israel retaliated against Hamas, after enduring a barrage of thousands of rockets, our President asked both sides to show restraint.  How much restraint would America show if Mexico or Canada were lobbing hundreds of rockets across our border every day?  When ISIS began its murderous rampage across the Middle East our President called for a measured response.  Equivocating civilized behavior with that of brutal terrorists erroneously identifies barbarians as equals with the very ones they seek to kill.

The false narrative of moral equivalency put forth by our elected leaders has emboldened the ones wishing to do us harm and conveyed a sense of legitimacy to their cause.  The terrorists of the world see our leaders and our country as weak and unwilling to defend those who can’t defend themselves.  They look at a country that kills over a…

Perspective

As I look back on pieces I wrote nearly a year ago, not much has changed. ISIS is still spreading terror, I’m still stressed out at work, and thousands of unborn children are still being killed every day in America’s abortion mills. When we take the time to look at things in their proper perspective, most of the things we spend our time worrying about are simply not worth it. A bad day at work doesn’t seem that bad when you compare it to the day that over 3,000 innocent children had in an abortion clinic, as their lives were brought to an unceremonious and brutal end. When we view the events of our lives in perspective, if we’re lucky, we see our true purpose for being here at this time and at this place. If we then have the courage to act on our true purpose, we can move mountains. My mountain is the abortion industry, and my purpose is to chip away at it until it no longer exists; however long it takes.

The last few weeks have been a very stressful time for me at work, and based on my workload, I don’t see it getting any better any time soon.  At this stage of my life I’ve learned to look at the big picture and view things in perspective during times like this.  While I may not be having fun at work these days, it could be worse.  Every day that I think I’m overworked or over stressed more than 3,000 unborn children are murdered in their mothers’ wombs in America. It seems that in the big scheme of things my problems just aren’t that important.

My stressful job provides me the means to contribute to worthy charities and to spoil my grandsons.  I look at every day at work as 1 less day I have to wait before I can pursue my goal of working on a full time basis…

This time last year I was feeling confident.  Something was telling me that the end of the abortion industry was near, so I took a leap of faith and predicted that Planned Parenthood would be closing its doors in 2014.  While 2014 isn’t over yet, I may have gotten a little ahead of myself.   I still have the feeling that the end is near for the abortion industry, but I won’t put a timeline on it.

When I wrote this letter I asked Cecile Richards if Planned Parenthood gave its employees bonuses for exceeding their planned body count.  Little did I know at the time that they do.  In what kind of twisted world does an organization provide incentive bonuses to its employees for killing more innocent children?

As I wrote this letter the day after Christmas last year, I knew in my heart that I would spend the rest of my life, if necessary, to end the practice of abortion.  My determination has not wavered and I’m committed to changing minds and saving lives, however long it takes.

Ms. Richards:

I hope you and your employees at Planned Parenthood had a wonderful Christmas.  I also hope you and all your employees took the time this Holiday season to reflect on what you do for a living and the suffering and death that occurs every day in your clinics.  America’s abortion industry will kill over 1.2 million unborn children before we celebrate another Christmas.  Planned Parenthood will kill over 300,000 of them.  How you and your staff can look your children in the eyes before you go to work every day is beyond my level of understanding.

Ms. Richards, as a businessman I have to forecast how much work I intend to do and how much money I plan to make every year.  Have you prepared your forecast of how many children your organization plans to kill next year?  Does Planned Parenthood give its employees bonuses for exceeding your projected body count?  What metrics, other than body count and the amount of money you manage to fleece the American taxpayers out of, do you use to determine whether you have had a productive year?

Ms. Richards, I believe in going big or not going at all.  I also believe in the power of intention.  I intend to close the doors of Planned Parenthood forever in 2014.  Just in case you’re wondering how I will close you down; I haven’t a clue. I know it will be done without violence, within the law, and with the help of a higher power.  Who knows; maybe the right person will read one of my letters and set a chain of events into motion that none of us can even imagine.  Maybe next year the pro-life movement will reach the critical mass needed to invoke unprecedented changes in our society and a quantum level of understanding of the true value of every human life.  Maybe the 56 million children aborted in America since 1973 will collectively petition our Creator to soften the hearts of the pro-abortion crowd and return our country to a place where every new life is a welcomed addition.  Whatever it takes to end the killing, we need it now.

As I enter my 60th year in a few weeks, I’m paying more attention to what’s really important.  Money, success, and material possessions are all temporal, and of no intrinsic value in the big scheme of things.  How you conduct your life and the impact and impressions you make on the lives of others are what’s really important.  Human life is the most miraculous creation in a timeless and endless Universe and dedicating one’s life to preserving and protecting it is a worthy calling.

Ms. Richards, closing your doors is my life’s mission and I welcome the fight as a happy warrior.

Letter #3 to NARAL: One Year later

About this time last year I was engaged in a one-sided debate with NARAL’s Ilyse Hogue.  I was writing letters and she was not responding. Somehow, my letters got me on NARAL’s mailing list, so now I get copies of all their twisted mailings to their supporters, urging them to work against people like me; people they call anti-choice.  I’m not anti-choice.  I make hundreds of choices every day.  What I’m against is killing innocent children as a matter of convenience and paying the executioner to carry out the deed.

I was in the company of my preemie grandson when I wrote the following letter; one of hundreds I’ve written to members of the abortion industry over the last couple years, and one of hundreds that has gone unanswered.  I’ll keep writing and I won’t give up.  I know in my heart that I’m fighting for a righteous cause and that failure is not an option.

I’ll keep waiting for Ms. Hogue’s reply.

 Ms. Hogue:

Every time I visit your website I’m stunned by the distortion and lies you continue to spread about abortion.  Your references to safe abortion are absurd to the nth degree.  No logical argument can be made for calling a procedure designed specifically to kill a human being safe.  Your assertion that abortion is a right is equally absurd.  While abortion is legal in many cases, it is not a right.  Just so you know, rights cannot be conferred by law; they can only be protected by it.  No woman has ever been born or ever will be born with the right to kill her unborn child.  Rights such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are a package deal and are endowed upon each of us by our Creator at the very instant He grants us His animating spark of life; starting each of us on our individually unique journeys.

Ms. Hogue, my pro-life philosophy stems from my role as a father and grandfather.  Just before I composed this letter I fed my 5 week old grandson.  He was due to be born on the 14th but made his initial appearance 5 weeks early.  As I watch him sleep I can’t imagine life without him and still can’t believe that, as I fed him, the abortion industry you promote was killing his future friends and playmates at a rate of 1 every 26 seconds.  1 out of 3 of his future friends will be killed before they are born.

Ms Hogue, you advocate a pro-choice position on abortion.  You and I both know that pro-choice is the same as pro-abortion; all that’s lacking is the courage to say what you really believe.  I have the courage to say what I believe.  I believe that every unborn child, without exception, has the right to be born and is endowed with the same right to life as you and I.  While I’m saying what I believe; I also believe it is the epitome of hypocrisy for anyone who was allowed to be born to take a stand against allowing any other human being the same accommodation.

Despite what you profess, your cause is all about money and power.  If the abortion industry truly believes in what it does they should kill babies for free.  If you truly believe in your mission to protect, what you advocate to be, a woman’s right to have her child killed, you should stop accepting a salary for your services.

Ms. Hogue, after every visit to your website I feel that I’ve been in the presence of pure evil.  Your organization’s dedication to insuring that millions of innocent children can be killed as a simple matter of choice is a staggering display of utter disregard for the most basic of human rights; the right to life.  In spite of everything your organization has done and everything that it stands for, I believe in redemption.  Change your mission statement and work to protect our unborn children.  It’s never too late to do what you know in your heart is right.

Letter to Planned Parenthood #16 Republished

Last year, on September 11, I was reliving the emotions I had felt 12 years earlier.  I couldn’t believe it had been 12 years since Islamic terrorists attacked my country and killed 3,000 of my fellow citizens.  On the eve of 9/11/14 I have a lot to be thankful for; 2 wonderful grandsons and a clear vision of how I want to spend the rest of my life.  Tomorrow, as America mourns for those we lost on 9/11, Planned Parenthood and America’s abortion industry will be busy killing tiny humans in their mothers’ wombs.  I will not allow their actions to go unchallenged and I will not rest until our nation stops allowing our unborn children to be killed for a fee.

Remember how you felt on 9/11 and resolve that by 9/11 of next year you will have taken positive, measurable actions in service to your fellow man.  Do…

Right about this time last year the worst President in the history of our great nation was making noises about attacking Syria.  His sole intent was to garner political points, not to help anyone or save any lives.  In the end, just like every other time during his tenure that a tough decision had to be made, he was all talk and no action.  A year later he is all over the place with his statements about what he will or won’t do to to defeat ISIS.  The world is on fire and he is saying we can transform a bloodthirsty terrorist organization into a manageable problem.

Elections have consequences and poor decisions result in poor outcomes.  America gets the leaders we deserve, and like it or not, we’re stuck with President Obama for 2 more years.  Last Sept. 8th I wrote the following letter to the President.  I wanted to convey my contempt for his naivete and utter disregard for protecting innocent lives.  One year later it’s rather apparent that he didn’t get the message.

 September 8, 2013

 

Mr. President:

I just wanted to remind you that while the world watches with baited breath as you speak Tuesday night, America’s abortion industry will still be killing our unborn children at a rate of 1 every 26 seconds.  While we wait to see if you will unilaterally, albeit unconstitutionally decide to lob cruise missiles, at a million and a half bucks a copy, into Syria, America’s abortion mills will end another busy day with a final tally of about 3,300 dead babies.

Your friends at Planned Parenthood will be watching too.  They won’t be worried about the cost of this operation or the death toll though.  They know that they’ll still be getting their forced contribution from the American taxpayers this year of over $500 million; or the cost of somewhere between 300 and 400 cruise missiles.  Mr. President, Planned Parenthood will kill over 330,000 American babies with the $500 million they get from our government this year.  How many Syrian children will your ‘limited operation’ kill?  Have you done the calculation?  Do you care?

Mr. President, what is the logic behind killing innocent civilians with explosives because either their government or radical Islamists killed innocent civilians with chemical weapons?  Innocent children are killed every day in America with lethal chemicals.  Every day, toxic saline amniocentesis abortions are performed and every day lethal RU 486 drugs are administered to kill unborn American children and you say nothing. Every day the death toll in America’s abortion mills is more than double the highest reported number of deaths attributed to the chemical weapons attack you’ve chosen to make a “measured and appropriate’ response to.

Here’s a suggestion.  Make a “measured and appropriate” response to the killing of 1.2 million unborn children in America this year.  If you’re willing to spend billions of dollars to participate in a civil war between Al Qaeda supported rebels and a brutal dictator, surely you’re willing to put forth at least as much effort to defend the lives of America’s unborn children.  If you feel that the killing of millions of unborn children on your watch isn’t important enough for you to weigh in on, please explain why.  I’d like to know.

Mr. President, this is where I normally advise the recipients of my letters that I’ll be publishing them on my pro-life blog at www.prolifepoppop.com.  I’m sure the NSA knows this already.  I’ll publish your replies and theirs too should either of you choose to reply; unedited of course.

As the President prepares to end his marathon fundraising trip for a prolonged vacation in Martha’s Vineyard, I felt it was time to republish a letter I wrote him last August 20.  Not much has changed.  The world is still on fire, he’s totally disengaged, and America’s unborn children are still being killed by the thousands every day.

On the day I mailed this letter my blog had been up and running for 2 days.  I had already written 42 letters to him and I was on pace to publish over 200 letters in my first year.  I’m still writing and most of them are never answered.  That’s OK. I won’t stop, and sooner or later I’ll change one mind or save one child and it will have all been worth it.

 Mr. President:

Just a friendly reminder that while you’re living it up on Martha’s Vineyard,  America’s abortion mills are still killing 140 babies an hour, every day, 24/7.  On a completely unrelated subject, Egypt was on fire yesterday while you played golf and John Kerry wind-surfed.  Apparently, you’re just as concerned about world peace as you are about the slaughter of America’s unborn children.  At least you’re consistent in your incompetence.

I wanted to let you know that I’ve launched a blog and that I’m posting all my letters to you on it.  I can’t make any promises, but I might just make you famous.  As the most pro-abortion President in history, you deserve to be recognized for what you stand for.  By the way, I’ll also be publishing any responses I get from you.  So far I’ve received 4. 3 are the exact same letter and I have no idea what you were responding to with the 4th.  Maybe my readers can figure it out.

During yesterday’s round of golf nearly 600 innocent children died in America’s abortion mills.  During cocktail hour at the 19th hole a couple hundred more met their fate.  Mr. President, no matter where you are or what you’re doing, the killing goes on.  You could stop it but you choose not to; and that frustrates me to no end.  Sir, within my frustration at your inaction my commitment to end abortion in America grows stronger.

Mr. President, I don’t begrudge you for your frequent vacations.  You have a tough job.  My issue is with the leader of the free world allowing his county’s unborn children to be slaughtered on a scale that dwarfs any human tragedy in the history of the world.  Sir, countless thousands of hard working Americans will pay taxes for their entire life to cover the more than $500 million that you will allow Planned Parenthood to receive from our government this year alone.  If the U.S. has $500 million a year to spare, why not spend it for the good of our children, not to fund an organization that kills over 300,000 of them every year?

The children who made the cut today and avoided having their fate decided in a Planned Parenthood hellhole will enter a world, courtesy of you and your leftist friends, where human life is no longer held in esteem and treasured over all else.  I won’t rest until every child makes the cut and every abortionist is denied the opportunity to make another one.

Mr. President, 2,500 years ago Buddha said the following: “Certain are the blessings growing out of your good work.”  I shudder to think what you have coming for the body of work you will leave the world.

Last summer Planned Parenthood rolled out their new slogan: “Care. No matter what.’  There was no way I was going to let something as outrageous as the world’s largest baby killer trying to get away with a slogan that even mentioned the word care.  Nothing Planned Parenthood stands for is even remotely related to care. Their lot in life is killing babies for money.

When I wrote this letter I wanted to remind Cecile Richards that nobody is born wanting to kill babies.  Killing your fellow human beings is unnatural and against every moral precept of accepted human behavior.  Accusing anyone who tries to stop the killing of waging a war on women is their ‘go to’ line, even though they are waging the real war as they kill millions of baby girls.

The following letter was signed, sealed, and stamped last July 31, and was sent on its way to one of the most evil organizations in the world.

Ms. Richards:

Immediately after conception a new life’s DNA is encoded by a universal intelligence that most of us, in one form or another, call God.  Before a child draws its first breath this universal intelligence will have programmed into its DNA what color its hair and eyes will be, how tall it will be, its predisposition to certain illnesses, and even how fast its fingernails will grow.

However, nature leaves it up to us to teach our children to respect life and to protect it at all costs.  No one is conceived with their DNA preprogrammed to make them an abortionist, a mass murderer, or a saint.  These lifestyles and behaviors are learned and chosen, not predetermined; and that’s the double-edged sword of free will.

Ms. Richards, I’m pretty sure you didn’t decide as a little girl that you wanted to grow up to run an organization that would kill millions of innocent children.  You apparently made a conscious decision to hang out with liberal eugenicists and the ‘holier than thou’ crowd who, with their Right to life firmly intact, felt it was incumbent upon them to decide who got to live and who had to die.  While you and your friends in the abortion industry profess to be providing a needed service and protecting the rights of women, all you’re really doing is killing babies for money.

The dirty little secret is that over half the babies Planned Parenthood kills are girls.  So, unless your idea of protecting the rights of women involves killing them before they can be born, I believe you may need to rethink your mission statement.  While you’re rethinking your mission statement you may want to take another swing at your new slogan: “Care. No matter what.”  And while you’re at it you probably need to fire your marketing consultant too.

May I suggest you try truth in advertising?  How about “Kill. No matter when.”  I must admit that for an organization that kills hundreds of thousands of children every year, using a slogan like “Care. No matter what.” is a ballsy move, although according to Roget’s Thesaurus, care is not a synonym for kill.  You are, however spot on with “No matter what.”  Planned Parenthood is willing to kill as many babies as possible, no matter what the majority of Americans want, no matter what suffering you inflict upon millions of children, and no matter what it takes to increase your bottom line.

Ms. Richards, no child that is allowed to be born will grow up wanting to kill children for a living.  There is no justification for what you and Planned Parenthood do, and you will ultimately be held accountable for your actions.  I honestly believe that you know this somewhere deep inside.  Look into your heart and decide that you will care; no matter what.
