This morning I came across the following quote from a book first published in 16 BC:

She who first began the practice of tearing out her tender progeny deserved to die in her own warfare. Can it be that, to be free of the flaws of stretchmarks, you have to scatter the tragic sands of carnage? Why will you subject your womb to the weapons of abortion and give dread poisons to the unborn? The tigress lurking in Armenia does no such thing, nor does the lioness dare destroy her young. Yet tender girls do so—though not with impunity; often shoe who kills what is in her womb dies herself.

Ovid, Amores, 2.14 (selections).

We’ve been making the same arguments for 2025 years.

Don’t talk to me about Virginia Tech. Don’t you dare tell me that those 30 college students’ deaths are more to be mourned than the 47+ million killed by abortionists in the USA since the Roe v. Wade ruling. Think about that: 15% of this country’s population has been murdered for no good reason.

And then the Supreme Court upholds a partial-birth abortion ban (just barely: it was a 5–4 decision), and the pro-life community acts as if it’s some sort of major victory… but it’s not:

Hey Planned Parenthood, you can still legally dismember the fetus in the womb. You just can’t deliver 3/4 of the baby backwards leaving the head inside, cut a hole in the baby’s head with scissors, and suck the baby’s brain out any more. (The Harford Republican — Heroes)

Nearly 24 million of those “legally” murdered in the womb would now be as old as—or older than—those killed at Virginia Tech. 24 MILLION. So don’t tell me to put a Hokies ribbon on my sidebar.

We have given up our tithes and offerings, sacrificing our children to Mammon. In return, he has seen fit to bless us with wealth, comfort and prosperity. And we wouldn’t have it any other way. The United States of America is bathing in the blood of its own people, and they just love it.

Don’t believe me? Just ask La Shawn Barber:

Black women are three times as likely to have abortions as their white counterparts. Blacks and Hispanics are about 25 percent of the population, yet they account for 57 percent of all abortions. Aside from the fact that abortion is murder, there are two very important reasons why black people should be represented in great numbers at the March for Life rally: [continue @ townhall.com]

This past Sunday marked the 33rd anniversary of the Supreme Court’s ruling in Roe v. Wade. While the U.S. Constitution prohibits the Judiciary and Executive branches from making law, people in the U.S. of A. don’t really care about that… so as far as most U.S. citizens are concerned, this court ruling is law.

On Sunday, John Piper preached a sermon on specifically regarding the unborn as our “neighbors.” To quote Dr. Piper,

“The people who own and operate and work there are real people. Above all, they need Christ. What might God be pleased to do if 4,000 concerned Christians committed ourselves to pray daily that Christ would manifest his saving grace in those places? What divine encounters of compassionate involvement might God create? Let there be no violence from our side. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes. If the owners and administrators and employees of these [six] clinics met the living Christ and were saved, would abortion be offered in [Maryland] any longer? There is more that you can do. But this much I ask you to do. Pray regularly that the owners, administrators, and employees of [Planned Parenthood, Gynemed Surgi-Center, Hillcrest Clinic of Baltimore, Baltimore Women's Medical Center, Seneca Women's Health Care, and Femi Care Surgery Center] would be saved.”

“For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.” — Romans 5:6 (ESV)

“we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ–by grace you have been saved–and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” — Ephesians 2:3b-7 (ESV)

In the Gospel, Jesus Christ dies to give life to weak, dead children. In abortion, children are killed to give their parents a “better” life.

In the Gospel, a Holy and Righteous God shows mercy toward the guilty. In abortion, mercy is denied as those who have committed no wrong are murdered.

In the Gospel, our Savior is portrayed as one who dearly loves his Children. In abortion, “inconvenient” children get their brains sucked out with a vacuum cleaner.
