Clueless

As I’ve noted before, I make it a point to follow the likes of Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and NAF on Twitter.  That way, I can keep track of the lies and misinformation they are spreading and call them out in a public forum.  Today I commented on tweets from Planned Parenthood and NARAL and was immediately engaged in a war of words with a clueless pro-abortion lemming with the Twitter handle @IcedFrenzy.

I can only assume from her grammar and writing style that @IcedFrenzy, otherwise known as Alexa, is a young lady with no idea when a human life begins and what the consequences are of ending one by abortion.  She insisted that an unborn child is not a child, but simply a clump of cells.  Her definition of a living child is a newborn taking its first breath.  Unfortunately, Alexa’s attitudes on the sanctity of human life are shared by millions of Americans who are just as clueless as she is.

I invited her to read my blog and learn something, although I doubt she ever will.  She told me to read a biology book. People like @IcedFrenzy are who I’m trying to reach with my work.  Changing the hearts and minds of the Alexas of the world is the only way to end the killing of our unborn children.

I hope she remembers our conversation and I hope that somewhere deep inside her heart I made an impression.  Alexa tried to convince me that abortion is a safe procedure, and took offense when I pointed out that a procedure specifically designed to kill a human being is anything but safe.  As much as we may not want to hear it, speaking the truth will always shine the light on lies and deception.  @IcedFrenzy has drunk the Kool-Aid of the pro-abortion crowd.  Her last tweet to me was “bodily autonomy is very much real. my rights override every single right a fetus has. every. single. one.”

This poor, clueless, individual has no idea that bodily autonomy is a two way street.  The unborn child living temporarily in a woman’s body is also an autonomous human being; a universally unique, separate, living, human being.

If Alexa happens to read this, I invite her to reengage in our conversation.  I may not bring her to the pro-life side, but as long as we are talking there’s a chance.

Another Year Older

plannedparenthood64Hillary ClintonPlanned Parenthood celebrated its 99th birthday yesterday.  While they were celebrating, they were killing babies at a clip of 1 every 90 seconds. They tweeted “Planned Parenthood turns 99 today – a history rich in milestones in the fight for global . .” My tweet to Planned Parenthood:  “Hoping you never see 100.” There is no logical reason to celebrate the birthday of an organization that kills over 300,000 children every year. Hillary Clinton tweeted “Planned Parenthood opened their first health center and changed life for women in America. Here’s to the next 99 years.”  My tweet to Hillary: “They changed/ended the lives of millions of innocent children. You’re a moron.”

As a pro-life blogger I subscribe to keeping your friends close and your enemies closer, so I follow low-life organizations like Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and NAF on Twitter.  I also follow their friends, like Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, and Nancy Pelosi.  You can learn a lot about a person or an organization by reading what they post for public consumption.  Planned Parenthood and their cronies are unashamed in their praise for abortion and their disdain for those of us who want to shut them down.  They refer to killing unborn children as a mother’s right, and they call people like me anti-choice.  To them, anti-choice sounds better than pro-life.

I find it ironic that the world’s largest abortion provider celebrates its birthday while denying the right to life, and the birthdays that come with it, to thousands of babies every week.  As Planned Parenthood enters its 100th year, they’re scared.  They know that there is a real possibility that the over $500 million they receive every year from the U.S. taxpayers may go away.  They know that without this money they won’t be able to line the pockets of the pro-abortion politicians who fight to keep abortion legal in America.  They know that when killing babies for money is no longer legal, they’re out of business.

My hope is that Planned Parenthood never makes it to 100.  My hope is that the more than 300,000 children they plan to kill during their hundredth year are able to live long, happy, healthy lives.  I hope to celebrate what would have been their 100th birthday in a world where they no longer exist and abortion is only a painful memory of man’s inhumanity to his fellow man.  My hope is that the $500 million birthday gift Planned Parenthood has gotten used to getting from us every year is redirected to helping children instead of killing them.

As far as I’m concerned, 99 years is about 99 years too many for an organization like Planned Parenthood.  The meaningful birthdays are the ones their intended victims will be able to celebrate.  I plan to do everything in my power to make this year Planned Parenthood’s last.

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.
