Child or Choice?

This is an ultrasound 3-D image of my grandson, A.J. Isn't technology wonderful? They do the ultrasound and then they use a computer program to enhance and colorize it, making a virtual 3 dimensional image out of it. My daughter was less than 6 months pregnant when this was done. I don't recall exactly how far along she was.

There are some who would say this isn't a baby. Not a child. There are those who would argue that this is merely a mass of lifeless tissue.

Remarkable, isn't it?

It is indeed remarkable that after all we now know about the development of the human fetus, that there would still be some who claim to believe life doesn't begin until the baby breathes air. Or until his face meets the light of day. Even now, after scientists have conceded that life begins at conception, there are still those who say this child is not a living, viable human being.

I believe those people are so committed to the "culture of death", that they refuse to believe evidence that stares them in the face. These people are to be both feared and pitied.

Here is another picture of the same "mass of tissue" some time later:


Let me tell you of another child. Another grandson of mine. My son's wife was 6 months pregnant when complications arose. She gave birth to a 1 lb. 7 oz. baby boy. It was a breech birth.

He lived one day.

One day was certainly not enough time for a mother and child to "bond", was it? I wouldn't have thought so.

I attended the funeral. To those who claim that a child 6 months along in gestation is not a viable living human being, that it has no more right to life than say, a lump of clay, I have only this to say: If you could have seen for yourself the pain and the grief experienced by my daughter-in-law, and still say her child was only a zygote, an amoeba, a mass of lifeless tissue, you have no heart. I wish you could trade places with that baby.

I truly do.

And if you stood in front of me, physically, and said something like that to my face, I would cheerfully separate your teeth from your mouth.

An extremist group called NARAL has recently released an advertisement claiming Judge John Roberts supports the bombing of "women's health clinics", better and more accurately known as Abortion Mills.

The ad is completely false.

And this shows the extremes that those who endorse the culture of death will go to further their Godless agenda. They, and those like them, also think it's acceptable to take the lives of the old and infirmed. If left unchecked, they will most assuredly take us to the point where anyone who has outlived their usefulness can be exterminated. They appear to be in the process of creating a society where only the strong survive. It's the survival of the fittest in action.

You see how this fits right in with Darwin's theory of natural selection?

And yet, they accuse President Bush of murder. They pretend to object to the killing of soldiers in the heat of battle. That, they say, is obscene. And wrong. They object to the execution of those who wouldn't think twice about killing their loved ones for the fun of it. Or for money. Which, paradoxically, is the same thing they claim Bush is killing for. Why is it wrong for Bush to allow soldiers to die fighting for our freedom and to save the lives of innocents all over the world, but it's ok to kill innocent babies and brain damaged young ladies by the cruel and inhuman method of starvation and dehydration?

What's wrong with this picture?

Kill babies if you don't want the responsibility of raising a child. Kill grandma when she outlives her usefulness to society.

Who's next?

Maybe YOU.

NOTE:
Don't come onto my blog and make mean spirited hateful statements claiming you have some insight into the mind of God or denying the existence of God. THe process of gestation in a human being could not happen by accident. So, don't even go there. I take this subject very seriously.

UPDATE: After I posted this, my daughter called me and told me that ultrasound was actually done when she was about 8 months pregnant. So, I stand corrected.

Incidently, my daughter once told me she hated kids, that she would never have any, and that if she ever did accidently get pregnant, she would have an abortion. But she did accidently get pregnant, and she didn't have an abortion, and she loves her child.

I asked her this morning how she feels about abortion now. Not surpringly, she is against it.

Children have a way of changing minds.
