Recently an article was published in an online medical journal stating that parents should be allowed to kill their newborn babies since newborns are not really persons. This article goes on to say that rather than call the murder of newborn babies infanticide they prefer the term "after-birth abortion." "Why? Because it “[emphasizes] that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus (on which ‘abortions’ in the traditional sense are performed) rather than to that of a child.”
Shortly after this article was published it was found out that these "ethicists" were linked to Oxford University, where so-called "medical experts" may share the same views. According to the article in the Telegraph these ethicists argue; “The moral status of an infant is equivalent to that of a fetus in the sense that both lack those properties that justify the attribution of a right to life to an individual.”
Those who claim to be pro-choice can be thanked for this type of thinking, since the argument that these "ethicists" use seem to be the same arguments that pro-choice advocates use to justify thier twisted reasonining to support abortion. My personal belief is that pro-choice is not that same as pro-life. Pro-choice is pro-abortion; as those who advocate pro-choice will most certainly choose death.
The sad truth however, is that there may be many in this country who readily agree with this type of thinking. It is only a matter of time, before the issue of whether or not newborns are considered persons is brought before the Supreme Court of this Nation. And for those who say it can't happen, I would refer you to Nuremburg, Germany, when Jews were declared by the high court that they were "non-persons." This ruling justified the killing of millions of Jews. Thus, the justification for the Holocaust.
Whether or not people in this nation are willing to face it, there is a Holocaust that is occurring here in America. Everyday, over 3600 abortions take place in this nation. That means, that there a child is being murdered every 24 seconds. At this rate, it is calculated that 1 in 3 in America will have had an abortion at one point in their life.
If this isn't the time to stand up so that we may speak for those who have no voice (the unborn) then I don't when that time is! Wake up America! Life is no longer sacred here on our shores and in the hearts of her citizens!
May G-D have mercy upon us!
The Scriptures say, "Open your mouth for the mute, For the rights of all the unfortunate" - Pr 31:8. It is not for us to try and determine who is called to this specific ministry or whether or believe that some person(s) wiill take up this cause. G-D expects all of His children to take up the cause for life!
The Scriptures clearly declare that G-D hates the hands that shed innocent blood (Pr 6:17). Thus, those who are called by His Name must feel the same way.
Let us not be silent!
