'Duck Dynasty' Star Blasts Abortion Culture: 'What in the World Happened to Us?'
CNS News ^ | August 20, 2013 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 08/20/2013 10:50:06 AM PDT by rhema

In a video featuring Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson [ Another reason to love the Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson! ] , the TV star - in what appears to be a religious sermon - declares his pro-life stance on the issue of abortion. When discussing the ethics of, and that there's even a debate on, the issue, he asks, "What in the world happened to us?"

"Listen, from the time you started inside your mother's womb, Thomas Jefferson had it right, you have the God-given right to life for crying out loud. You're this long (pointing to his finger). You're a week old inside your mother. They suck you out of there when you're about like that (point to finger again). You wouldn't be here tonight!

"And, when you got to be the size of my thumb, they suck you out. You wouldn't be here. Then, you grow a little bigger, like my fist - and finally eight, nine months later you come out.

"And we debate whether it's a - some woman's right to tear you out of there a piece at a time! C'mon! You have a God-given right to live. And of all places, inside your mother - what in the world happened to us?"

It's what happens when good people do nothing and allow a vocal(morally bankrupt)minority to make policy.

Wake up America...you're being conned and manipulated into a destructive place...by the G d-less miserable, who want to make you join their club, or simply train you to voluntarily walk off the cliff to hell yourself.

Youth has been served!....garbage.

There's none so blind as those who will not see...

In no way, shape, or form, could my post be considered defeatist.

You and I both know how the left operates.

No sense in pretending.

I’ve never watched the show either, but I want to!

Remember, originally abortion was used to PROTECT REPUTATIONS! The mother may have been shamed or even deserted with no support whatsoever. The father may have been a big shot (married) man about town, and had money to hush up any scandal. Or a young kid who saw his future slipping away.

None of those things are reason to kill a child. And the shame and scandal isn’t to the extent it once was.

There is no reason for abortion.

And nearly all second trimester abortions are at doctor’s urging because the child might have something wrong. Again, these doctors are going against humanity and the Hippocratic oath. They are pastel hitlers. Every child deserves a chance no matter what differences he has.

Thinking the same thing. Not really intrigued by this sort of reality TV, but might be worth a gander?

Anyone doubt that every phone call and email ever made by any member of this family will be studied and they will not rest until TMZ can report on one of the kids getting in trouble.

They WILL be Palinized...and quick!

That’s the cue. Beginning now, militant man-hating feminazis will start trashing the program.
I’m ordering some duck dynasty merchandise.

For those of you that haven’t watched DD, START! You are missing the most Christian, family, and country centered program since “The Waltons”.

From the description of the show, I thought YUCK! Then, I watched a show, and I’m hooked. I love their simple wisdom, logic, humor, love of family, country, and especially God. They close their shows with the family sitting down at the table together, and Phil giving a prayer. I was astounded and hooked. I read that Phil may be leaving the show (hope not), and Alan, the oldest son, taking a larger roll.

Same here. My first was “Great, another “dumb redneck” show.” Being from the South, I take great offense at those. But I got stuck watching a marathon on A&E and I was absolutely hooked, because here were people standing up for my beliefs, proudly.

Actually, DD presents how a Christian family operates. Their values stand alone without the need of defense.

This is why the left looks at this show with a mixture of bewilderment and horror. They don't understand anything that portrays morality, family, and faith, and they are deathly afraid that people might be influenced in a positive (negative to them) manner.

Duck Dynasty is just good, clean fun, with characters that you can't help but like.

“Expect the calls for boycotts to start soon.”

What are the liberals going to boycott? Duck calls, camo clothing, shotguns, mudbugs, crawfish, frog legs? Areerakls the ones buying the DD T-shirts and bandaids?

“mudbugs, crawfish”

Yes, I know the difference in mudbugs and crawfish, there ain’t none. I think much faster than I type.

What does a hillbilly know?

That's what my sister would say. I can't believe we had the same parents. She doesn't see wisdom. She sees camo clothing.
