Under the heavily ironic heading "Behind Every Choice is a Story," Planned Parenthood is advertising an artwork and poster contest "celebrating 30 years of choice."
Serrin Foster, with Feminists for Life, is concerned about the images in the minds of women who have suffered through an abortion.
"And I think what they're going to miss are the untold stories of women who've had abortions and all the millions of young men and young women who aren't with us this year," Foster said. "The thoughts that they're going to have on the 30th anniversary of Roe v. Wade imagining the children that they will never know."
Roe v. Wade is the 1973 case that the U.S. Supreme Court used to legalize abortion on demand.
The call for contest entries proclaims, "Each entrant can share the satisfaction and pride of participating in this national contest."
Focus on the Family Bioethics Analyst Carrie Gordon Earll said Roe v. Wade affords the nation nothing positive.
"What's to celebrate? 40 million abortions? 40 million dead preborn babies? Untold thousands of women who are physically and psychologically maimed? I don't think that's anything worth celebrating."
Earll calls abortion a "desperate act to resolve what feels like a desperate situation," and lamented Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, another case that paved the way for legalized abortion.
"Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton had an astounding impact, not only on the jurisprudence of abortion law in this country, but on how women look at motherhood,
how it has eroded the relationship between mother and child."
She said they impact fatherhood as well.
The anniversary of Roe v. Wade is January 22.
I believe in the Designer Hell concept. As they do to innocent preborn babies in this life, so shall be done to them in the next.
One thing that always galls me is that the flower-child "peace, love, joy, and starlight" crowd tends to be pro-abortion. The hypocracy is galactic...
In other words it's definded as selective murder for money.
Different but the same.
So sad !!!!!
The same people seem to be celebrating the death of Wellstone. We must be vigilant and continue to pray for the soul of this great country.
The Apocalypse of Peter:
And near by this flame shall be a pit, great and very deep, and into it floweth from above all manner of torment, foulness, and issue. And women are swallowed up therein up to their necks and tormented with great pain. These are they that have caused their children to be born untimely, and have corrupted the work of God that created them. Over against them shall be another place where sit their children [both] alive, and they cry unto God. And flashes (lightnings) go forth from those children and pierce the eyes of them that for fornication's sake have caused their destruction.
Other men and women shall stand above them, naked; and their children stand over against them in a place of delight, and sigh and cry unto God because of their parents, saying: These are they that have despised and cursed and transgressed thy commandments and delivered us unto death: they have cursed the angel that formed us, and have hanged us up, and withheld from us the light which thou hast given unto all creatures. And the milk of their mothers flowing from their breasts shall congeal, and from it shall come beasts devouring flesh, which shall come forth and turn and torment them for ever with their husbands, because they forsook the commandments of God and slew their children. As for their children, they shall be delivered unto the angel Temlakos. And they that slew them shall be tormented eternally, for God willeth it so.
There is a strange logic at work. Man cannot avoid God's law even when he wants to. Murder demands justice and makes the murderer guilty (even when he doesn't admit it's murder). If the guilty won't acknowledge God's law and its justice, he'll make his own. Naturally it is unreasonable, even if it does ease the pangs of conscience.
Sadly, this is well said.
By the time most women know they are pregnant, the baby's heart is beating. I can not imagine such a callous mind that could look at a beating heart, see the forming bones and fingers and legs, and say, "Yes, I want to kill this baby."
The pro-aborts have done a remarkable job at convincing women and society that abortion is about choice, not about death. We need to take the argument back. It's about death and murder and the women who seek abortion need to be shown what they are about to do. I would imagine that many, if not most, would not go through with it if they saw the baby in an ultrasound.
We need to change the hearts and minds of the American people, I know that sounds cliche but it's true. They need to know what they are doing and what they are allowing to happen.
Right, and throw back at them (if you're a guy), "Well, I personally wouldn't rape a woman, but who am I to judge what another man wants to do with his own body?"
