THE PRESENT HOLOCAUST

For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise thee, for thou art fearful and wonderful.  Wonderful are thy Works!  Thou knowest me right well; my frame was not hidden from thee, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth.  Thy eyes beheld my unformed substance; in thy book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them (Psalms 139:13-16 RSV).

For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.  For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? (Matthew 16:25-26a).

Since the Jewish holocaust, when Hitler exterminated six million Jews, the civilized world vowed it would never happen again.  So how is it that we can be blind to the present holocaust of the unborn in America?  In several cities the number of abortions exceeds the number of live births.  The frightening logic of the "intellectual elites" is that abortion is never wrong because the unborn baby is completely dependent on the mother and therefore not a person.  They believe that personhood does not arrive until the baby is three years old.  There is not any mother with an ounce of compassion who believes her unborn to pre-three-year-old child is not a person!  That logic would contend that old king Herod was not such a bad guy after all.  His killing of the two-year-old boys was just a post-birth abortion.

The argument that a person is a non-person served the slavers, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao well.  It allowed each of these leaders to exterminate millions upon millions of people and it allows abortionists to exterminate three babies perminute without a pang of conscience.  This is all done in the name of "quality of life."  Babies are being killed for such trivial reasons as "It will come during a planned vacation," or "It is the wrong gender."  When the baby is referred to as an "it," then the baby is depersonified.  DO NOT REFER THE BABY AS AN "IT!!!"

In ancient times babies were sacrificed to idols.  As the influence of Christianity fades, babies are again sacrificed to the idols of convenience, personal peace, prosperity, pleasure and fornication.  Ancient Christians saved the unwanted babies.  Modern Christians can at least speak up for them during the present holocaust!  Make your voice and your vote count!!  Our politicians need to know that innocent life is not negotiable.
