Time to end it.

"Millions of babies dead. Countless women wounded for life. All for what? It is time to end it. Forever." 

Last night, we were invited to the annual silent auction and fundraiser for an organization called New Life Family Services. It is one of a growing number of organizations who are committed to not only counseling women who are thinking about having an abortion, but also those who have had an abortion and are suffering psychological and/or spiritual after effects. Most of all, New Life Family Services would like to see abortion end up in the ash heap of history.

We all know the stats. Most have heard of or seen the graphic and shocking videos about the dismemberment and sale of baby parts. Truthfully - there are many times I feel like I am dreaming, and this is only happening in some twisted science fiction world. Or a dystopian world where everything is backwards. Certainly not in our world. The real world we live in. For in our real world, we would not be killing our young. And not just a few young, but thousands, millions of them.

Even though we all heard or seen the stats, I think I will repeat them one more time. Each day, 4,000 innocent American babies are aborted. As of the first of this year, ever since the tragic Roe v. Wade SCOTUS decision became law of the land, there have been almost 58 million innocent babies aborted. That is a bigger number than the population of England.

It is estimated by the World Health Organization, worldwide there are 125,000 abortions a day. Other estimates are in the past 50 years, there have been over 1 billion abortions worldwide. These numbers are staggering. Jaw dropping. Unbelievable and TOTALLY unacceptable in a civilized world.

So when will abortion end? Whether you are faith based or not, this inhumane procedure cannot pass anyone's sniff test. Killing our youth is like eating our seed corn. And the damage it does to women is beyond compare. Damage that can last for a lifetime if left untreated. 

The good news in all of this is simple. Organizations like New Life Family Services are the "Little Dutch Boy" trying to plug as many holes as possible in the dike. They are doing good work, very important work. But the work could be so much easier if we could once again find our moral compass. Find our moral compass and just END abortion. 

Mother Teresa has been quoted as saying, "America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children, and women against men. It has shown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships." I don't think there is any more, that any person could add to this quote to make it any more direct.

It is time to wake up America. We must stop this evil stalking our land. This evil called abortion. We must come back from this path of "deformation". This twisted path abortion has led us down. We owe it to our children, yet unborn. We owe it to the countless women who have been damaged by it. We owe it to our country. And yes, we owe it to the Creator of all life, the Giver of all good things, seen and unseen. It is time to end abortion. It is time to end it now.
