The question has been asked countless times of the German people who lived in that era: "What did you do while the Holocaust was happening? Did you try to stop it and, if not, why not?"

There will be a day when that question is asked of Americans about abortion. We will have to answer to future generations and, more importantly, to God for what we did or did not do to stop this sin against humanity.

Perfectly stated!

I recently asked a friend who supports abortion rights, "If by some miracle, you knew a pregnant woman's child would one day find a cure for Alzheimer's, would you still believe that woman had the right to terminate that pregnancy, depriving mankind of this medical breakthrough?"

Please don't forget the child who one day would grow up and work at Walmart or Sears, or drive a Taxi cab. We have no right to terminate them either and 'deprive mankind' of their presense among us.

"In the same sense, women cannot be given a partial right to abortion because the decision is final and irrevocable."

This is exactly the same reason why we cannot let people be taken off respirators or allow them to be executed. "The decision is final and irrevocable." Right?

I’ve posted a link to this one song of mine on this very topic before, but it fits here and some may like it. It’s called “A Dream A Lot Like Mine” and can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/emmettgrayson. It’s the 3rd song on the list.

The point is, like water, humankind will seek its own moral level by standards set within the culture.

Contemplating that statement gives me a very uneasy feeling

We're definitely not on the high ground here

UNNAMED

My child never saw the sun in the sky.
It never will laugh, it never will cry.
Murdered before it could draw its first breath,
Is there no one on earth to mourn for this death?

Like hope in the breast of a man condemned-
Like an joyful flame dancing in the night-
Like a flickering thought in an old fool’s head,
So too was the life of my child.

The long, long walk from cell to noose
Trod ever so gently to hear the sound
Of a saving pardon that never comes.
The trap drops open, and hope falls through.

The lamp burned brightly ‘til darkened by hate,
And the one charged by God with guarding the flame
Abandoned her duty and snuffed out the light.
Now He will be judging the worth of her life.

The thought was concieved to awaken our love,
But the love wasn’t hers, only mine.
Now it lives in my heart; the thought, not the love,
For my love has gone with the child.

My child never saw the sun in the sky.
It never will laugh, it never will cry.
Murdered before it could draw its first breath,
It has only me to mourn for its death.
