I have been trying hard to ignore what's headlining some of the news these days. It's the pure evil being perpetrated by Planned Parenthood.
But, as Edmund Burke once said: "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to stand by and do nothing."
So we're clear: I do not like abortion, but I do not think that it is evil. I do think it is infanticide - the killing of an infant - but I do not think the act is evil. Sometimes it is necessary. Sometimes it is, tragically, convenient.
But with the latest atrocities by Planned Parenthood coming to light, I want you to stop for a minute. I want you to, if you can, put your emotions aside and think with your higher reasoning.
One of the hallmarks of life in most of the higher organisms on this planet is a heartbeat. Warm or cold blooded, if it's an animal, there must be a heartbeat for it to survive. No heartbeat = it's dead, not living.
In a hospital setting with a patient, if the heart stops beating and cannot be restarted through resuscitation efforts, the patient is declared dead. There is no heart pushing blood through the circulatory system. In whatever state the brain is, whether with full faculties or ravaged by late-stage Alzheimer's, it cannot, at that point, survive. The patient is dead, taken away for autopsy.
If a woman gets pregnant, her baby's heartbeat is detectable outside the womb between 39 and 50 days after conception. Going by the heartbeat being a sign of life, that baby's heartbeat says 'Hey, I'm alive!' even if it has no consciousness, no self-awareness.
With conception on January 1st, the baby's heart will be discernible with instrumentation (a vaginal ultrasound) on or about February 9th. I think it's probably safe to say that the heart began beating before the moment that ultrasound probe was introduced to the woman's vagina.
So Planned Parenthood, with the complicity of the breeders of these babies (there is no possible way on God's green Earth that a woman aborting her baby can be called a 'mother', since that term indicates parental feeling and caring), allows someone to take their child, to crush that child's skull and lower extremities - saving the torso for 'harvest'.
Does that disturb you, at all? The idea of crushing a child's skull?
Until the forceps clamp down, that was, more than likely, a viable human being - one with the capacity to live, to go to a loving home if the breeder doesn't want it - and yet it's being killed, crushed to death, and this society says 'oh, that's okay. Better than letting it go to waste.'
Whatever happened to the medical Hippocratic Oath of 'Do No Harm'?
Is crushing a child's skull not doing harm?
Imagine if this was something we read about in relation to the Nazi 'cleansing'. Do you suppose that we wouldn't look aghast at this? That we wouldn't condemn it, along with the shootings, the torture, the slave camps and the gas chambers?
Dr. Mengele did a lot of experiments on twins. They were, by civilized standards, horrific things. But what if he had discovered something useful, meaningful in his experiments. Would we look the other way, ignore the cruelty he inflicted on the children he 'studied'?
As it happens, there is an historian who claims that Mengele's experiments were successful - there's a book out called 'Mengele: Angel of Death in South America' and here's the article:
Nazi angel of death Josef Mengele 'created twin town in Brazil'
If this is true, if Mengele's experiments on children did bear fruit, does that make the things he did at Auschwitz acceptable? If you're nodding your head thinking, 'well, maybe...' then I suggest you read this - in full:
Medical Experiments of the Holocaust and Nazi Medicine
A child with a heartbeat at six weeks is too small, too undeveloped, to have anything except stem cells that are of any medical use. But I fear that we're on a slippery slope.
How long will it be before someone thinks about suggesting to the breeder that if they carry that baby just a little longer - until the brain starts functioning and the child can feel pain but isn't yet out of the womb - so that the organs can be harvested for some already born baby?
How long will it be before someone thinks about suggesting that 'harvesting' the organs from an otherwise healthy Down syndrome baby, or one with spina bifida or another birth defect, after it's been born would be a good idea? How many healthy children could be saved by that?
Where does this end? And how on Earth can any people call itself 'civilized' if we are so damned unfeeling, so soulless, that we say that killing our children is okay?
I can't. Not in my wildest imagination can I find this 'acceptable'. Instead, I feel soiled by this, disgusted and ashamed to call myself 'human' because with this, there is no humanity left in the soul of people.
