No more did a mother have to protect her child with her life. If her child was in her way to acquire a job that she wanted, or if her child meant that she would have to put off going to college for awhile, or if it meant that she could not fit into a certain dress on a particular day, or if in any way her child might be thought to be an inconvenience to her, then her child can now be legally killed.

At this deadly pronouncement by the Supreme Court, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton who led the Suffrage movement, with tears in their eyes, looked down from the Heavens, as they had called abortions, child murder. Is this why we fought so hard for women's rights, they must have thought.

As God wept, satan with all his demon followers had a smile from ear to ear. This was their greatest victory. Human beings, on a scale of life were now a notch below the animal kingdom.

The demons prepared for mass arrivals into the flames of hell, because by a vote of seven to two, the gates of hell were opened and out slithered satan, with his entourage -- Planned Parenthood, NARAL, NAF and NOW.

The prince of darkness had won the big one, at least for now, as their still remains some people who still honor the sanctity of human live. These people will fight until their dying days to overturn Roe Vs Wade, a decision arrived at - not from the Constitution of the United States, but only in the Imaginations of seven people.

And now, thirty-one years later, the anniversary of the greatest miscarriage of justice in the history of our country, over 44 million innocent children have been slaughtered in the most horrible manner, literally torn limb from limb, right up to term and even while being born.

One has to wonder how a civilized society could condone such brutality and why it was ever allowed in the first place. It's enough to make a grown person cry.

In the majority opinion, Roe Vs Wade, they even admitted that no one knows when human life begins. So, did they call in human embryologists to testify since they did not know? They did not. They feared the truth. They had made their decision before hearing the arguments and they didn't want the truth to interfere. They knew that no reputable human embryologist would dare deny that human life begins at conception.

Now, with the advent of DNA, did the justices grab their robes, run to their bench and admit that a horrible mistake was made in 1973? After all, that Supreme Court decision was based on a false premise.

Again, the answer is no. It is better to have 4,000 children killed very day than to admit the greatest injustice in the history of jurisprudence.

Even with the most elaborate ultrasounds that show the child's little fingers and toes and a beating heart, when MOST of these killings are done, does not make them reach for their robes. The justices in 1973 even took into account another false premise -- that abortions were safe. Now, we have overwhelming evidence that they are NOT safe.

The biggest mystery to me is how could anyone with just one fiber of common decency left in their entire body could even consider to make the killing of an unborn child legal. To allow defenseless unborn children to be torn apart and killed has got to be, one the most diabolic and repugnant acts ever done, by any person who has walked the face of this earth.

Unborn children should not be discriminated against and targeted for death just because they're growing and developing inside their mother's womb, any more than they should be targeted for death after birth, since they are also continuing to grow and develop. The location of the development is inconsequential, and should not be held against unborn children and used as an excuse to kill them. Both unborn and born children cannot survive on their own.

To pick out a certain developmental stage to justify the killing is a travesty of justice. It is scientifically unsound and without any semblance of logic, since the development of a human being is a continuum -- zygote, embryo, fetus, child, adolescent and adult. To interrupt this continuum of life at any stage, violates God's will, as he told us: "Thou Shalt Not Kill." For those, who do not believe in God, it violates one's sense of common decency.

Abortions are not a private issue concerning a woman's decision. Women cannot take drugs, yet it is their own body. If they are prostitutes, they break the law. I guess this "own body" routine applies only if you want to kill a human being and your own child at that.

It's like slavery -- when human beings were not considered whole persons and had no rights and were subject to the will of their owners. It's the most important issue of public principle that America faces today.

Are we to be a nation under GOD with compassion, love and decency, or a barbaric nation of degeneracy, which embraces the ideology that one of our freedoms should be TO KILL, if we so choose?

Respect for life is a principle and when women are given the power to decide if a helpless baby in their womb is going to die, then don't be so surprised when they think that a child is subject to their will, and kill it five seconds after it's born and throw it in a dumpster, or five years after it's born. The principle of violence is the same.

And don't be surprised when the killing of 1.4 million unborn children yearly, becomes a major factor in the public's perception that life is cheap. That perception will be stored in the brain, where it will be retrieved to determine all future actions.

Now, we have to suffer the consequences of that perception. Do you like what you hear or read when you turn on the news, or read the newspapers these days? So don't be surprised if a person's disrespect for the sanctity of life rubs off on their children, and don't be surprised when children kill children, or anyone else who get in their way and in general, don't be surprised at anything humans do to humans.

Our populace has become so self-indulgent -- what's in it for me -- whatever makes me feel good -- that to kill a human being is secondary to their comfort zone.

When organizations such as Planned Parenthood, NARAL, NAF, NOW and other pro-abortion organizations tell you they are just concerned about women's health -- don't you believe them. They do NOT speak the truth. They have conned the American people. There is MUCH more suffering and deaths due to abortions on demand now, then before the infamous Roe Vs Wade in 1973.

We were warned, "Man reaps what he sows." Will we ever learn?
