39 years of the Holocaust against the Unborn Children of the USA. What "Choice" do they have?
I purchased the above video from HyperPixelsMedia.
The reason I mention it is that the organization and related online ministries are involved in fighting for life against death and rather than pirate the youtube online I felt I should pay for the download. This is why it has a different appearance than most videos I present.
We are a Brady Bunch family. I was a Mr. Mom with four children, my wife was a widow with two. We became six and then began to grow as marriages and grandchildren began to happen. All six children are ours now. I am really proud of my wife, she had to battle to have children. Her first pregnancy was a miscarriage and her second was an emergency C-section as she went into a constant contraction and the baby's heart began to fail but Amanda was born healthy and well and is now happily married to Dan and they are doing great! Then Debbie tried a third time and yet another miscarriage. But a fourth try and it looked good for awhile, she had cravings and morning sickness and the baby was growing in her womb but then something went wrong about month three and she lost another baby. But Debbie was determined to have another child and she perservered and a fifth pregnancy finally yielded our son Nathan, born breach and again forcing a (this time a non-emergency) C-section but alive and well and now living with us trying to start his own small business while working at a Bible camp part-time.
Debbie prayed and tried to eat and live as healthy as she could and managed to have two children in five attempts. She was heartbroken every time a baby miscarried, telling me about the empty feeling in her heart when her babies died within her body. It really hurts me and hurts her when we think of a mother deliberately killing her child. In fact, when most mothers kill their babies they regret it almost right away. See and hear some stories about this at Abortion Changes You.
It was 39 years ago that the Supreme Court erroneously ruled that privacy was a "right" that had precedence over the right of a citizen to live without being murdered in the womb. Roe versus Wade has unleashed a holocaust against the unborn that dwarfs anything done to the Jews in World War II. The babies in American wombs are denied rights that liberals give to illegal aliens, to felons, to a political system of repression and domination masquerading as a religion, to a failed hypothesis I call Darwinism, in fact, it is hard to imagine anyone in the USA who is treated with less respect than a baby in the womb. We give tax dollars to the Darwin-inspired Eugenics movement, the basis for the Nazi destruction of Jews and people with handicaps and other people considered inferior genetically or politically, an organization now called Planned Parenthood. Yes, you are helping to pay for the murder of babies!
Planned Parenthood exists to provide abortions to underage mothers and poor mothers and especially minority mothers...they are taking your money to kill people and they get away with it. All because a majority of old people in black robes decided that human life was of no value until and unless entirely out of the womb and wanted by the mother. One of the untold horrors of abortion is that babies taken from the womb early that are still alive are often just tossed into the hallway or a back room to die from exposure and lack of care. It was such actions that caused Jill Stanek to abandon her career in healthcare which included being part of a medical team performing abortions. A bio excerpt:

When it would have been easier to look the other way, Jill Stanek’s commitment to Christ led her to risk her job, reputation, and friendships to stop the terrible practices of abortion and infanticide.Jill was a registered nurse in the Labor & Delivery Department at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, IL. She discovered not only were abortions being committed there, but babies were being aborted alive to die without medical care.
When hospital leaders said that they would not stop, Jill went public and has become a national figure in the effort to protect both born and pre-born infants.
Jill has been quoted in the national media on television, on radio, in print, and by local and national legislators. There are hundreds of examples, but some include:
Jill has now testified twice before the Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives and in several state legislatures.
Associated Press, Chicago Tribune, CNN, Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, New York Times, Politico,Time, USA Today, U.S. News and World Report, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Washington Times, and World Magazine
Fox TV News programs O’Reilly Factor and Hannity and Colmes
Chuck Colson’s Breakpoint; Dr. Laura, Dr. James Dobson’s Focus on the Family radio program, Fr. Frank Pavone’s Defending Life t.v. program
Jill’s written testimony has been read several times in key U.S. Congressional debates on the Partial Birth Abortion Ban and Born Alive Infants Protection Act.
Jill remained at the hospital fighting the fight from the inside, until she was terminated in 2001 for reasons related to her public outspokenness to its abortion practices...
Here is her blog post for the day:
TODAY! Ask Them What They Mean by “Choice” Day
UPDATE 1/22, 3:35p: I’m still adding blogs and reading some great posts. Don’t forget to use hashtag #tweet4choice on all pro-life tweets today.
UPDATE 1/22, 9:10a: Today is the tragic, terrible 39th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized the subsequent murders of 55 million children and counting.
Abortion proponents call this “choice.” They fear the word “abortion.” They know it has negative connotations – not so different from the word “holocaust.”
So today NARAL is sponsoring the euphemistic Blog for Choice Day.
But we’re not going to let them get away with it. Dozens of pro-life bloggers have banded together to write their thoughts about “choice.” See them listed when you open this post.
And pro-lifers on Twitter, Facebook and all over the web are going to call the other side out when they try to gloss over the reality of killing innocent preborn babies with that dastardly word “choice.”
Feel free to use our graphic on your Facebook page today. Tweeters use hashtags #tweet4choice and #blogforchoice on all pro-life tweets today.

I will be linking on Facebook later!
When I met my wife, she was working with Project Reality, an organization that taught the truth about abstinence and abortion and STDs. Did you know that mothers who abort their babies are more likely to have breast cancer, commit suicide, suffer from bouts of depression and may have more trouble getting pregnant when they decide the do want a child later? Yes, do the research, it is all true. Another site to go to if you want to know the truth is Abort 73. Did you know that in the USA about fifty MILLION babies have been murdered since the Roe v. Wade ruling was issued? Did you know that the original complaintant, "Roe", changed her mind and began working for Life? Norma McCorvey now has a site called Roenomore.
Babies? There are all sorts of parents who want to adopt a child because they want more children or maybe they cannot have a child at all. You do not need to kill your child, you can easily give that baby up for adoption and give him or her a chance at life just as your mother gave you. There are no choices for babies, they depend on the grownups to do the right thing. When will our nation quit murdering the most vulnerable and innocent of our people?
To end, some facts about Abortion from Abort73"
The Case Against Abortion
Medical Testimony
A new human being comes into existence during the process of fertilization.
It is false to claim that no one knows when life begins and dishonest to argue that abortion does not kill a human being.Monozygotic Twinning and Abortion
Does the existence of monozygotic twinning prove that life doesn't begin at conception?
While the zygote's ability to reproduce itself early in pregnancy raises some ethical questions, there are plenty of reasons why this doesn't change the fact that individual human development begins at conception.
Prenatal Development
Growth in the womb is a rapid process; All systems are in place by week eight.
An accurate understanding of prenatal development makes it impossible to argue that abortion is the mere removal of undifferentiated cell tissue or that the developing embryo is simply a part of the mother's body.Part of the Mother’s Body?
From conception onward, pregnancy involves two (or more) separate bodies.
The slogan, "My Body, My Choice," betrays a tragic misunderstanding of what is taking place inside the womb. At no point in pregnancy is the developing embryo or fetus simply a part of the mother's body.
Are Sperm and Egg Cells Alive?
A fundamental change occurs to the sperm and egg during fertilization.
Some ethicists try and defend abortion on the assertion that sperm and egg cells are just as "alive" as an embryo or fetus. Biologically speaking, this is an absurd and unfounded claim.
Personhood
It is unjust and inaccurate to classify certain human beings as “non-persons”.
By definition, humanity and personhood go hand in hand. Developing humans in the womb have an intrinsically personal nature and even demonstrate "personality" in many of the same ways that newborn babies do.Abortion Procedures
All abortion methods violate the most basic medical tenet: “Do No Harm”.
While some surgeries carry a risk of harm, abortion is intended to harm. It may be one of the most common surgical procedures in the world, but it is hardly a harmless one. A better understanding of the techniques involved makes this abundantly clear.Abortion and the Hippocratic Oath
The original rendering of this historic creed explicitly condemns abortion.
The Hippocratic Oath was revolutionary in its unyielding devotion to the preservation of individual human life. It stood in marked contrast to the more primitive medical traditions that blurred the lines between killing and curing. In its original form, the oath prohibits both euthanasia and abortion.
Does a Fetus Feel Pain?
There is significant debate over when in pregnancy a fetus can feel pain.
Whether or not abortion is a painful experience to the unborn child being aborted, the child is left no less dead as a result. In talking about the question of fetal pain, we must remember that it ultimately has no bearing on the morality of abortion.
Is Abortion Painful for Women?
Pain is relative, but many women do find abortion to be physically painful.
Significant pain is often involved in the abortion procedure. This doesn't make abortion right or wrong, but the abortion industry's consistent efforts to downplay the physical pain of abortion hints at a broader agenda. They seem far more concerned with selling abortions than with giving women an accurate understanding of what abortion actually does.
Abortion Pictures
Abortion is an act of violence against an innocent human being.
There is simply no way to accurately comprehend the barbarity of abortion without being exposed to the photographic evidence which so clearly demonstrates that abortion is a brutal act of violence.The Importance of Graphic Images
Pictures help communicate what words, alone, often cannot.
Educators have long understood the appropriateness of using graphic photographs to teach about harsh realities. Nevertheless, the educative use of abortion photos is broadly condemned. This is politically-driven hypocrisy. Withholding photographic evidence is not being liberally-minded; it's simply being dishonest.
Photographs and Cultural Change
Photography has played a crucial role in the history of social reform.
For as long as photography has existed, graphic images have helped to inform and shape the public conscience. They help take an abstraction and make it much more concrete. Atrocities that remains unseen are much easier to trivialize and much easier to ignore.
Where Do Abortion Pictures Come From?
All Abort73 abortion photos come from working abortion clinics.
The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform (CBR) maintains the largest known abortion-image archive in the world and has meticulously verified the accuracy and authenticity of their photographs and video. The content of these pictures have not been digitally altered in any way.
The Role of Law
It is reasonable and necessary for society to outlaw certain "choices".
The only way people can successfully live together in community is to give up a measure of personal freedom. Personal choices that infringe on the life or livelihood of another human being must be legislated against. Therefore, it is impossible to justify abortion by simply arguing that women should be "free to choose".“Pro-Life” or “Anti-Abortion”?
These terms may seem synonymous, but there are subtle differences.
Though "pro-life" is an imperfect and often criticized label, it is more accurate than the alternative ("anti-abortion") and more honest than its counterpart ("pro-choice").
Competing Rights
The right to not be killed supersedes the right to not be pregnant.
Some have suggested that prohibiting a woman from having an abortion is to place the value of an embryo or fetus above that of the woman herself. Restricting abortion does not imply that the child is more valuable than the mother. Rather, it recognizes that the child's right to not be killed is more fundamental than the woman's right to not be pregnant.Common Objections
Poverty, rape, disability or “unwantedness” do not morally justify abortion.
There are all sorts of circumstances that people point to as justification for their support of abortion. Since none of these circumstances are sufficient to justify the killing of human beings after birth, they're not sufficient to justify the killing of human beings before birth.Inconsequential Differences
The differences between embryos and adults are differences that don't matter.
Human beings inside the womb are smaller, less developed, and more dependent than human beings outside the womb. These are differences of degree, not differences of kind. We can all point to other people who are bigger, stronger, smarter, or less dependent than we are, but that doesn't make our life any less valuable, or any less deserving of protection.Systematic Injustice
Abortion is condemnable for the same reasons that slavery and genocide are.
Networks of killing centers across the globe are eliminating "unwanted, unborn" children at a staggering rate. Were the context not abortion, the world would be outraged. Call it what you want, when an innocent group of human beings is targeted and exterminated by the millions, that is an injustice on par with any of history's most egregious atrocities.Making a Person Property
For the second time in Supreme Court history, human beings have been made property.
From an ideological perspective, there are many connections between abortion and slavery. Both fit the classic "pro-choice" model. Both are built on legal decisions which classified specific human beings as property – property that could be legally abused or destroyed.
A Future Lost
Like any act of homicide, abortion steals from its victims the opportunity to live out their future life.
Killing is one of the worst crimes because of the impact it has on the victim. Killing deprives the victim of life. The loss of life is the greatest possible loss anyone can suffer because it deprives us of all the experiences and enjoyments that otherwise would have been part of our futures, which we now value or would have come to value. If the loss of our valuable future is what makes killing you and me wrong, then abortion is equally wrong, because it deprives the fetus of its “future like ours”.Abortion and Race
For decades, abortion has disproportionately targeted minority babies.
Whatever the intent of the abortion industry may be, by functional standards, abortion is a racist institution. In the United States, black children are aborted at 5 times the rate as white children and Hispanic children don't fare much better.Abortion and Gendercide
Around the globe, abortion is shrinking the female population at an alarming rate.
No matter what you believe about the ethics of abortion, there is no denying the fact that abortion has become the driving force in eliminating females around the globe. Estimates put the global gender gap somewhere between 100 and 200 million people.A Legacy of Eugenics
Eliminating the "unfit" has always been a goal of Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood, then called the Birth Control League, once shared office office space and board members with the American Eugenics Society. They openly advocated the thinning of minority populations through birth control and sterilization.
Planned Parenthood’s Racist Roots
Founded by an outspoken eugenicist, there are plenty of skeletons in the closet.
During her lifetime, Margaret Sanger publicly urged the elimination of "human weeds", the "cessation of charity", and the sterilization of "genetically inferior races." She championed the "science" of eugenics, ridiculed God and marriage, and founded Planned Parenthood, which has grown to become the largest abortion-provider in America.
Abortion for Profit
Many abortion supporters have a huge financial stake in keeping abortion legal.
Abortion is a lucrative business. Those who defend it the most ardently often have a financial interest in keeping it legal and commonplace. Couple this with the abortion industry's consistent opposition to measures requiring more full patient disclosure, and there is good reason to wonder if they care more about profits than they do about women.Profit or Principle?
"Principled" support of abortion often brings significant financial perks as well.
Are all abortionists simply "in it for the money"? Probably not. But how many abortionists would there be if they had to volunteer their services, or even pay for the opportunity to put their principles in practice? It's very easy to follow your "principles" when those principles earn you lots of money.
The Cost of Life
Financial hardship is not a legitimate reason for taking an innocent human life.
Abortion is often sold as a means of avoiding financial stress. For a few hundred bucks you can free yourself from the cost of raising a child, while also freeing yourself from the eventual care and support of a grown son or daughter. In the process, you free society from the long-term production and influence of an utterly unique human being.
The Planned Parenthood Agenda
Not content with destroying innocent bodies; they go after minds as well.
Planned Parenthood has an entire website devoted to sexualizing America's youth while happily lifting the restraints of God, parents or marriage. They tout it as being ""values-free". In reality, it simply espouses those values which will help ensure that abortion remains an extremely lucrative business.
Post-Abortion Syndrome
Abortion often leaves women with a lifetime of extreme mental anguish.
The psychological implications of abortion are as disputed as the act of abortion itself. Whether or not Post-Abortion Syndrome is a real or imagined condition, there is no denying the fact that abortion has left countless women with feelings of profound regret.Abortion Risks
Significant risk factors (like breast cancer) have been associated with abortion.
The morality of abortion is not directly tied to the risks it poses to the mother. Giving birth certainly carries its own set of risk factors. Nevertheless, shouldn't a woman considering abortion know about the potential damage it could do to her own body?Child Abuse
America has become a more violent place for born children since abortion was legalized.
The available data shows that legal abortion has not reduced child abuse in America, as theorized by some, but rather may have contributed to its increase.Abortion Alternatives
Pregnancy care centers help eliminate the financial burden of an unplanned pregnancy.
In the United States, there are thousands of pregnancy care centers which all exist to help women through the emotional and financial stress of an unplanned pregnancy. Couple their services with the widespread availability of adoption, and it should become immediately apparent that women need not kill their "unwanted" children.Who Cares About Morality?
Apart from some kind of moral code, there can be no law.
Every law on the books serves as a reminder that we can and do "legislate morality". Unrestricted, personal "choice" is just another name for anarchy. When the Supreme Court invalidated all state laws against abortion, it was nothing less than the application of their own morality – one that believes you're not a person until you're born.
Feminism Perverted
Elective Abortion flies in the face of classic feminism.
While feminism today in the U.S. is largely in favor of abortion, seeing it as necessary to ensure equality for women within society, the early feminists found abortion to be a societal evil that dishonored woman and killed children.Crisis of Conscience
Prominent former abortion providers now firmly condemn the practice.
The stories on this page highlight the remarkable turnarounds of four former abortion-insiders–including the physician most responsible for the legalization of abortion in America. Taken together, they reveal abortion to be a grisly business that is built on deception, plagued by cover-ups, populated by unethical characters, and largely driven by greed.Potential for Abortion Clinic Abuse
Aborting women are vulnerable to the predatory behavior of unscrupulous doctors.
No matter what anyone believes about abortion in theory, no matter how adamantly a woman argues for abortion rights in public, most women go to great lengths to ensure that their own abortion remains a secret. This desire for secrecy gives abortion clinics lots of room to cover-up abuse.Biblical Teaching
The Bible makes no moral distinction between born children and unborn children.
The issue of abortion is never directly dealt with in Scripture, but it says plenty about children inside and outside of the womb. In light of what is explicitly stated about children, and what is explicitly stated about murder, it is fair to conclude that God hates abortion.Abortion in the Church
Seventy percent of U.S. abortions are performed on "Christian" women.
It's a mistake to assume that because so many aborting women in America identify themselves as Protestant or Catholic, that the Bible is ambivalent towards abortion. What these numbers do tell us is that lots of self-professing Christians are not behaving very Christ-like, and lots of churches are not sufficiently educating their members about abortion.
Church History and Abortion
Historic writings demonstrate the church's longstanding opposition to abortion.
In writings from the beginnings of Christianity to the Reformation, Christians have stood uniformly against abortion, believing it to be an act of murder and deserving of God’s judgment. Because they viewed life in the womb as the object of God’s care, they believed it should therefore be the object of neighborly love.
Exodus 21:22-25
A passage sometimes cited as a biblical endorsement of abortion.
Whether Exodus 21:22-25 is talking about a miscarriage or a live, premature birth, it is impossible in either case to conclude from this passage that God is indifferent towards abortion.
Government’s Biblical Role
God established government to keep sinful people from doing evil against each other.
Arguing that the government should never restrict "choice" is nothing more than an argument for anarchy. Anyone who understands the biblical role of government and deals honestly with the Bible's portrayal of human life (inside and outside the womb) should recognize that biblically speaking, the government must protect innocent human life.

What we must do before abortion is illegal
We face a similar crisis today. Of course, if I could press a button and make abortion illegal in all 50 states right this second, I would do so, gladly and without hesitation, and face whatever problems arose.
However, as far as I know, there is no such button. (If you are aware of the existence of such a button, please email me.) Meanwhile, there are two essential things we must do between now and that golden day when abortion is no longer legal in our country.
I told you yesterday the key to getting America ready for one million more babies every year – many of them born to reluctant mothers - is simple, but not easy.
In our time, education is often mistaken for information. A wise young woman who was a teen mom — and is now a wonderful, strong, inspirational stay-at-home mother of four, so don’t believe everything you see on MTV — once told me that all the “information” she and her peers got as teenagers was part of why she got pregnant in high school. Her boyfriend knew enough about sex to know it was more fun without a condom, and how to talk her into not using one.
The idea that more information is what we need, in the age of Google, Facebook, and Youtube, is absurd. We need education – not just information, but instruction in what to do with that information, and that includes moral instruction.
Ten-year-old high fashion model Thylane Blondeau proves two things: 1. We are not protecting our young women. 2. France is creepy.
We can never stop all unplanned pregnancies from happening. Human nature is what it is; people fail to live up to standards every day. But the first and essential step is having standards. As a society, we simply don’t anymore. Mothers put their 15-year-old daughters on the pill and buy them Ke$ha CDs.
There has to be a paradigm shift. We need to begin to make young women understand that being slutty is not synonymous with being cool, funny, and smart. We need to show them that in today’s culture, not rebelling against traditional morality is the truly rebellious thing.
Almost a century ago, G.K. Chesterton said, “The act of defending any of the cardinal virtues has today all the exhilaration of a vice.” It is even truer now. Today, the counter-culture and the status quo are one and the same. Nothing is more rebellious, nothing is more counter-cultural, than refusing “the degrading slavery of being a child of [one’s] age.”
Organizations like New Wave Feminists seek to reach young women before they have sacrificed their intelligence, self-respect, and virtue at the altar of MTV. We need young women who remain chaste until marriage, who uphold and affirm the sanctity of life, and who view marriage and motherhood as sacred vocations. In order to see more of those young women, we need to change the perception that teenage girls who are intelligent and chaste are miserable, unpopular, naive, and brainwashed.
You can be smart, funny, and cool while having morals. I’ve seen it happen.
It won’t be easy to accomplish this, but it is possible. Radical mainstream feminism turned women on themselves. By trying to be just like the boys, women ended up using their sexuality as a weapon or a commodity. If you don’t believe me, watch a Rihanna video.
I would like to see a day when the average 16-year-old rolls her eyes in disgust at a booty-shaking Barbie on MTV. I would like to see a day when women don’t engage in baby-making activities until they have a diploma or degree in one hand and a ring on the other. I would like to see a day when young men have to work for young women’s attention again, because said women are too busy going out into the world and doing splendid things to shake their rumps in some club.
And it’s a chain reaction: those young women will raise strong daughters whose daddies showed them enough love that they don’t need to give anyone a lap dance to feel worthy, and whose mothers showed them enough discipline that they can tell boys “no” without feeling like the world is going to end.
That is the New Wave of feminism: virtuous, intelligent, and unapologetic. It’s not just for women, either. Men are not incapable of virtue; they’ve just been convinced they are by the media.
Speaking of which: the media is our greatest enemy in this fight for the minds and hearts of youth. Being promiscuous, dumb, and reckless is easy, flashy, fun, and on every single channel. New media is the key to getting our message across. And we have to do it now. There is no time to waste. I saw a roughly 11-year-old girl the other day walking around at the mall wearing a Playboy bunny T-shirt. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what you call rock bottom.
There is hope for the younger generations. We have to lead by example among our peers and those who look up to us. We have to show them that leaving behind ego and instant gratification doesn’t mean leaving behind your brain or your sense of fun.
Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, and no matter how we change the perception of virtue among young people and reestablish the idea of sexual standards, people will fail to meet them, and unwanted pregnancies will happen.
There is one other thing we must do before abortion ends in the U.S., and I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.
