To the Editor,

2012 marks 40 years of pregnancy termination through fetus euthanization. How nice and sterile that sounds. It offends no one, stirs no sympathy and arouses no ire. It’s a medical procedure. There’s nothing to fear; it’s not open-heart surgery or chemo for cancer. Let’s just call it a safe-distance type of word like pro-choice or abortion.

How can an educated, civilized God-blessed people be conditioned to kill its little boys and girls. Today we are worried about this one’s rights and that one’s rights (nothing about responsibility). Where is the unborn Americans’ right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?

Your heart doesn’t hurt for these little fellows of all shapes, colors, and size. In Christ eyes, they are no different than the ones who tiptoes around your feet and climbed up on your lap.

Guess what? We pay to do this! It’s $350 to $1,000 each time 4,500 children a day (1.2 million a year) times 39 years in the USA. It’s all about women’s reproductive rights and choice and money. This choice is big business and offensive to almighty God.

We kill our posterity, the fruit of the mother’s womb and call it choice and abortion. It is cold-blooded murder at its best. This abomination silences the voices of innocents who have no record of harm whatsoever.

We cannot be silent, as in atrocities past and not take up our fellow man’s defense. The word abortion brings no tears. How have we come to this? The generation that sheds the blood of its children, will be slain by the next.
