Defund Planned Parenthood! How Can This Continue?!?

Normally, I take great enjoyment in producing my articles. From the formatting, to finding pictures, blending humor with my written word and my picture captions, and providing links for the evidence that I've researched. With the topic today, I just can't do my usual production. There is no humor to be found in this issue, and no related pictures that I care to caption. I can only write of the raw emotion that comes from learning of this particular subject.Here is a link to the Center For Medical Progress, the organization that has done the investigative exposé, to see the videos in question. This is something I was strongly compelled to write, from a few different sources; I wasn't about to say no. Please take something away from this! I've never really been one to ask people to share my posts; I'm asking you to please share this one.  It's vitally, crucially important on a national scale that this conversation starts happening, sooner rather than later. Thank you!

Update: 8-20-15 I've recently created a Pinterest board for my blog; apparently the only way to pin something is for there to be a picture within the link for it to "pin". So I've added one picture to appease the Pinterest devil. Ugh. 

Lions Over Lambs by Eric Power

     

The recent events involving Planned Parenthood and the video documentations of the vile practices that occur there have, quite frankly, left me thoroughly despondent about the future of our society and mankind. I just can't fathom how to combat this perfect, pure evil that would make Hitler and Stalin envious.
Furthermore, the pitifully tepid response that the videos have gotten from our country, as a whole, is horrifying and quite revealing of the downward spiral into Hell that our culture finds itself in. If something such as this cannot pull us back from the brink of darkness, then I surely don't know what will. The videos are unspeakably horrific, each one released more grotesque (either in word or deed) than the last. I can't imagine how it could get any worse; are they puréeing them for smoothies?? Soylent Green??? (I apologize for that mental image...but what could possibly be left?!?) We can't be bothered to care about babies being chopped up by these vampires and sold to baby part ghouls, but somehow the national fur flies when a lion in Zimbabwe is killed during a hunt by some dentist from Michigan. If it didn't involve such a ghastly, macabre state of affairs, it would be laughable. When I recently came back from my self-imposed exile of news/current events and all things political, I thought it was bad then! It has deteriorated rapidly since September of 2014 and continues to do so with no sign of slowing, let alone halting. ISIS torturing and slaughtering Christians by the thousands, mass riots in America, movie theater and church massacres; it is quickening to a breakneck pace towards absolute damnation.

     Recently, I heard an argument on the radio, that basically likened those who turn their heads from this abomination to the Germans during the Nazi times. Maybe not at first, but the average German eventually knew of the atrocities that were being committed. They saw the trains being loaded up with Jews. They smelled the awful stench from the camp ovens, as they incinerated wave after wave of prisoners. They knew; yet, the vast majority of the population hid their eyes to the horror. Whew! Harsh words, yes. But...I do agree with that statement. It's an unholy rationalization. “Well, they're not human, they're just Jews.” “Well, they're not alive, it's just fetal tissue.” The officials in the video disprove this notion time and time again. They know exactly what they are doing. “Look, another boy!” as they hold up parts of a dead baby. They are aware of the value of the life they are crushing. But to them, it doesn't matter. It's just a commodity with which they can buy their Lamborghinis and sip their wine while dining at a five-star restaurant. In their words, for medical research purposes. To the Nazis, the leadership, it didn't matter either. They slaughtered millions upon millions of Jews and other “undesirables” in gas chambers and concentration camps. They performed monstrous medical experiments on prisoners and collected massive amounts of data from drowning, immolation, chemical injections, and untold other ways of killing the innocent. How is our Holocaust any different? Well, certainly in numbers – anywhere from 6-11 million Jews died at the hands of the Nazis; it's been estimated that over 50 Million abortions have been performed since the passage of Roe v. Wade in 1973. But otherwise, it's not much different.

     I believe that God will ask each and every one of us for our accountability in this mass atrocity that has obliterated so many precious and innocent lives. Thomas Jefferson, in speaking against slavery, said, “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever.” I can't imagine how He has allowed us this evil perpetration for this long; I do not know God's Will, nor can I comprehend the timeframe in which God operates. But I firmly believe that when we pass to the afterlife and stand in His Judgement, we will be asked, “Where did YOU stand?” I will be able to say that I stood on the side of life. My name will be written in the Book of Life and I will be counted with Him! I fear that many of my fellow Americans will not have that privilege. I implore you; If you are Pro-life, as abhorrent as they are, share these videos. Put them in front of your pro-choice friends and make them pick a side. If you are pro-choice, and you believe that a fetus is nothing more than a collection of cells, then watch these videos. If that's all they are, then it shouldn't bother you to watch them. But, if you find yourself uncomfortable with the prospect of watching them, then you may want to do some soul-searching and really nail down exactly what it is that you believe.

“I call Heaven and Earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” Deuteronomy 30:19 NKJV

This is a topic that we can no longer turn our eyes from; it has been forced upon us to deal with in our present day. I, for one, am thankful that it has been. It has been ignored for far too long! We must have a national discussion about this. Hearts must be swayed. We need to resolve this before it is too late; the clock is ticking! Thank you for reading and God Bless.
