In Memoriam to the 57-Million Victims of This Day

Since the dreadful January 22, 1973 Roe v. Wade 7-2 Supreme Court decision that interpreted this “right to privacy” in the U.S. Constitution and used that ‘right’ to legalize abortion-on-demand … placing this nation’s governmental approval upon the unleashed death and destruction of innocent boys and girls … 57-million babies have been murdered.  We’re not talking about ‘taking’ the lives of 57-million unborn children, but about ‘creating’ the lives of 57-million and then killing them … presumably for the ‘good’ of humanity.  It is the American Holocaust … far exceeding all of the war dead (1.3 million) of the U.S. since the American Revolution.
 
This number of babies killed will only go up as the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a., Obamacare) is implemented by the ‘so-called’ Health and Human Services (HHS) department of our federal government.  In fact, we’ll cease to truly know how many abortions are being performed because of the free access to the ‘morning after pill’ in this healthcare atrocity.  According to its website, Plan B One-Step© is marketed to prevent pregnancy “before it even happens” … “if taken within 72-hours after unprotected sex or birth control failure.”  So now, we are not measuring pregnancy from the time of conception, but 3-days after intercourse.
 
Let me point out the obvious: Instead of babies being aborted at the rate of 3,000 a day in the U.S., it’s time that this abominable Obamacare be killed!
 
Painful as it may be to imagine: Today 3,000 innocent people will be submitted to capital punishment … although they will have no trial before they are executed.  They have no attorney, and will not be granted the basic rights of even a prisoner of war.  Not only will they not be treated humanely, they will not be afforded the basic anesthetics used by every veterinarian in America.  They will die a torturous death; ripped apart by forceps or injected with toxins or partially delivered by breach birth only to have their brains sucked out to collapse the skull for passage through the exit of the pelvis.  Why we’ve even had such physicians as Dr. Kermit Gosnell of my ‘birthplace’ (Philadelphia) who was tried and found guilty for the murdering of hundreds of live-birth children.  We’re talking about babies with souls since the moment of conception; fellow human beings who can/have developed physically – with beating hearts, digesting stomachs, open eyes, and hearing ears.  Since the advent of ultrasound we have explicitly seen recoiling in pain … desperately trying to escape their killers!  Where is the logic: If the way that the physician determines a person to be completely dead is by the absence of brain waves, then shouldn’t the presence of brain waves prove life!?
 
On September 11, 2001, evil-doing terrorists killed over 3,000 people, and the outcry for justice was great; the cry of pain was heard throughout our nation.  But listen: On September 12, 2001, 3,000 more lives were extinguished … and again on the 13th and 14th and 15th … and every day hence in America.  Where’s the weeping, anger, and outcry for justice?  The Bible says that God hates the shedding of innocent blood. (read of Cain killing his brother Abel in Genesis 4:1-12)  His righteous indignation remains to this day for such injustice.  The pro-abortion crowd yells about ‘freedom of choice.’  They say, “It’s my body … and nobody is going to tell me what I can or cannot do with my body!”  Oh, really?  Think again.  God has already spoken clearly.  He looks justly and recognizes the baby’s body as well.  It’s not hard to imagine an aborted baby in heaven asking God – “How could she do that?  After all, it’s my body!”
 
Now you may thoughtlessly think that this issue of abortion should be left to the government to decide; that it is a political issue, and not to be addressed by the likes of me – an American clergy.  Listen: This is not party politics.  The sanctity of human life is the one social issue that defines the morality of this nation, and each and every candidate that seeks election or appointment for public office.  And if you are a Christian, then you must vote Pro-Life.  Why? … because God is Pro-Life, and you are privileged to bear His name as a Christian!  If you voted for a candidate that is pro-choice rather than pro-life, then you need to ask God to forgive your foolish ways; your denial of His sovereign rule in your life; your lack of conviction to stand firmly on the uncompromising Word of God.  Jesus warned us, “No servant can serve two masters.  Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.  You cannot serve both … ” (Luke 16:13)  There’s your choice: Be obedient to God or suffer the consequences of disobedience.
 
In 2 Chronicles 7:14 we read – “If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

Do you SEEK His face? … will you TURN from your wicked ways?  If we will do as God has commanded, our God who keeps His promises, will HEAR from heaven, FORGIVE our sins and HEAL our land.
 
On this day which marks the 41st anniversary legalizing abortion-on-demand in the U.S., let’s put a stop to this American Holocaust.
