Saw a tweet from Brit Hume this evening, highlighting this Slate op/ed. Rather than posting the Slate piece, decided to post the original journal entry.

May God have mercy on His remnant remaining on earth.

The noted ‘ethicist’ Peter Singer has pushed this for decades. He is a scum bag as well. There are many Democrats ready to declare post birth abortion a human right found right there in the Constitution.

We need to know about this to make sure it doesn’t happen but ....I just wish I didn’t have to know of something so unthinkable. Same with some of the stories I’ve read about what goes on in the slave camps in North Korea, etc. etc.

Evil doesn’t sleep.

I wonder if the Chicoms go through all these mental acrobatics when they kill babies?

I guess if you go through mental acrobatics it makes you a good person when you kill them.

Ok, then why not make the woman kill the baby herself then, not outsource to an assassin called an abortion doctor...

I am not for killing babies, but the left always tries to sanitize it by having the abortion doctor do the deed in their role as a paid assassin...

From The Didache or "The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles" circa 65-80 A.D.

Thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not commit adultery; thou shalt not corrupt youth; thou shalt not commit fornication; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not use soothsaying; thou shalt not practise sorcery; thou shalt not kill a child by abortion, neither shalt thou slay it when born; thou shalt not covet the goods of thy neighbour.

This sick argument would hold for kids until their teens, as they ‘aren’t truly capable of administering their own lives,’ just as a fetus or newborn can’t.

Extrapolating this to a logical extreme, the moment one loses the ability to “administer” their own life, they, too, become fair game for involuntary slaughter. The involuntary deaths would go in roughly the following order:

1. Those too old
2. Those handicapped
3. Those deemed mentally unfit (conservatives would clearly be targeted)
4. Those on drugs (illegal, then followed by legal, because they obviously aren’t fully functionally human without them)
5. Those passed out from drinking
6. Those asleep for the night

The Chinese have been aborting FEMALE fetuses since they got hold of amniocentesis. They have aborted so many female fetuses that China produced a GENERATION of men for whom there were no women. The Chinese call those men the "Bare Branches."

EVEN the wealthier, upper class girls had their feet bound to produce "lilies," that is, tiny little feet. Women with NORMAL feet were "ugly."
One used to be able to see those old women back in the 1970's with the tiny feet HERE in the USA. They are all dead now and the ABC's are 100% American and don't do that mutilation..

There were so many female fetuses killed that the Chinese allowed GIRLS to inherit their father's job, trying to get the Chinese to NOT KILL their female fetuses....UNHEARD of before the dearth of girls. Didn't work. The Chinese SO dislike baby girls that their murder of female fetuses continues unabated.

The word "good" in Cantonese is "ho." The calligraphy for "ho" shows, in the Chinese, of course, a woman with a small boy. That is, it's GOOD for a woman to have a son. Their prejudice against girls is so institutionalized as to be part of their written language.

One can tell A WHOLE LOT about a culture by how their women are treated. The West, that is, Christian, treats us women better than any other culture in human history. We are damn lucky women here in the West.

The child ceases to be a possible child when the sperm permeates the egg and a unique set of dna is created. I am outraged by the example - I personally know a child with facial deformities from Treacher Collins and that child is smart and happy to be alive. Devastating diagnosis? You bet. But people are capable of so much more than they give themselves credit for. Nobody promised life would be easy and convenient. Going by this justification, if a kid gets cancer at age 5 just kill it. Presumably parents would have killed the kid in utero if they had known it would get cancer.

These methods that are proposed to reduce human suffering only serve to magnify it and to make life cheap. There is no dignity in that.

O Glorious Archangel Saint Michael

Prince of the heavenly host, be our defense in the terrible warfare which we carry on against principalities and Powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, spirits of evil. Come to the aid of man, whom God created immortal, made in his own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of the devil.

Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven.

That cruel, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan, who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of his Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity.

These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where has been set up the See of the most holy Peter and the Chair of Truth for the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered.

Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and Patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly conciliate the mercies of the Lord; and beating down the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen

Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers.
The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered, the root of David.
Let thy mercies be upon us, O Lord.
As we have hoped in thee.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
And let my cry come unto thee.
O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon thy holy name, and as suppliants we implore thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious Archangel Saint Michael, thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all other unclean spirits, who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.

This is where the slippery slope of the “Quality of life over quantity of life” argument leads.
