I understand your desire to shield children from life’s harsh realities when they are tenderly young and vulnerable to shocks...
But the shredding of 40 million plus unborn children, mostly on the altar of convenience, is something that I am sure is intolerable in the eyes of God...this is a horror that few of us can bear to fully comprehend. We SHOULD be shocked, even or especially those of us who are putatively pro-life. We, and our children, should meditate on this, that every day 3,500 more dead, innocent, unborn children make their way to the Throne of the Almighty to accuse us of indifference. Yes, indifference.
The pro-life movement has lost its passion, and become merely a catch-phrase of moral back-patting. How do we know this? By realizing that we firmly believe that the evil we pretend to deplore is something to protect children from knowing about.
The dead children in those photos should be mourned by everyone. All the dead children should be mourned—where are the tears? Too unfashionable, too embarrassing. They should be giving all of us—especially adults—nightmares.
When was the last time WE had a nightmare about abortion?
No wonder pro-choicers can defeat us so easily in lawmaking. We have no tears, no passion, no love for the dead unborn. We feel superior, likely, to the woman who aborts her baby. Well, I remember what the Bible has to say about the lukewarm, and I have a concern that all of us conservatives have become that way.
The trucks with pictures are at least presenting the dreadful truth. Your nephew will make it past the “trauma,” especially with such a doting aunt.
Meanwhile, unborn children in the thousands are shredded and murdered every day.
I just wonder what we have become, us peaceful, loving, pro-lifers. Us gentle protesters against the holocaust. Us tidy, emotionally healthy, kind, detached pro-lifers.
No matter how you want to rationalize it.
Any of the people on this thread who want preschoolers to see actual autopsy photos from 9/11, or dead babies (from abortion or not) are sadistic. Period.
The same people here who would be horrified to have preschoolers shown how to put a condom on a cucumber to prevent that terrible disease AIDS and scream that it is a parent’s right to teach and no one else’s, have no problem with post mortem babies being thrown in the face of preschoolers.
Time for some rational thought.
