"I have said this before many times. One of the greatest evil visited upon our land was the Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade. It opened the flood gates for the Margaret Sanger dream of eugenics."
Sorry - is this topic too sensitive to bring up on a Saturday morning? Good. It should be. In fact, it should brought up every day of the week. Before I start out in earnest however, I would like to do something I have not done for a while. And that is give a huge, very loud, shout out to the Catholic Church. While other denominations have been all wrapped around the PC axle speaking PC mumbo jumbo on this barbarous procedure, the Catholic Church has been as clear as a bell in calling abortion out for what it is.
Last night, my wife and I had the honor to be invited for the second year in a row to attend a New Life Family Services banquet. For those who have never heard about New Life, they are the "ying" to the "yang" of Planned Parenthood. In other words, they are concerned about life. Abundant life. Not only with the lives of the unborn, but also the lives of the mothers. They believe that all life is sacred - and is a gift from God. They also believe if a woman has had an abortion, that women needs to be loved and cared for. Often times what follows an abortion are dark days for the woman who has had the procedure. New Life cares for them also.
I have said this many times before. One of the greatest evils which has been visited upon our land was the Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade. It opened the flood gates Margaret Sanger's dream of eugenics. It has allowed Planned Parenthood to run wild and misrepresent their true purpose. How much so? Since Roe v. Wade, we have allowed almost 60,000,000 innocent unborn babies to die. That is almost double the population of California.
Two thoughts about abortion. First, from a faith based perspective - do you think that God smiles or weeps every time an unborn is killed? That is a tough question I heard years ago. It is one I think about often when some on the Left refer to the killing of innocent unborn life as a "health care issue".
Next from a secular perspective - how many of those 60,000,000 Americans could have gone on to do great things for our society? Scientists, doctors, builders, humanitarians, whatever - now we will never know.
It has been said by theologians that the greatest evil the Enemy has done to mankind is convince so many he does not exist. I think the greatest evil Planned Parenthood has done to this country, is to convince so many that abortion is only a woman's health issue. It is not.
I apologize I had to bring up such a divisive topic this morning. But it needs to be addressed. Yes, I believe it to be that important. Once again, a thank you to my Catholic friends for showing such leadership on this most critical issue. I only can hope and pray that the rest of us will soon follow your lead.
