Death Is Not A Choice

By David S. Roberts This is a difficult subject with emotions running very deep on both sides of the issue. Many fear to strategy this subject with good reason, few want to take the remain that I will and do because of my own deep convictions about this topic. In preparation for this article, several sad truths came to light. First, there's a deadly contradiction at work within American society. Second, it comes with an underlying value being overlooked in American society. As well as third, there is a terrible apathy about this subject in united states society. You will not agree with every thing I write, and that's okay, I would simply ask that you listen and open the mind and your heart to the information. I.There is a deadly Contradiction at Work. We all saw the headlines. I don't think that there was one of all of us that wasn't shocked whenever we heard that Susan cruz drove that car into the lake with her children inside. She killed them simply because, now as a newly separated mom, they had become bothersome, disposable because her love life was suffering. The outrage of the country was immediate, callers to radio stations everywhere demanding that she be dealt the same fate she offered her sons, trapped in a car, at the bottom of a lake. Or what about Andrea Yates or Kasey Anthony what person with a quarter of a conscience didn't scream out, 'God what's happening?' or what about the case of the guy charged with vehicular homicide more than a few years ago because the pregnant woman he struck suffered a losing the unborn baby The outcry is there, an infant is dead and the mother suffers a loss, and the community cries out to stop this kind of misfortune, but give that same man a license and a clinic and the baby he just killed becomes just another 'fetus'. And there's NO OUTCRY! What about the pregnant lady who was charged with, get this, 'reckless endangerment of LIFE' whenever she disregarded the judge's orders to quit using drugs and used again? What about the teenager who was charged with felony child desertion, when she left the woman's newborn child in the garbage bin in an alley? We all think, how could a mother kill her own kid But given the right conditions, not one of these crimes could be prosecuted because in some cases, the actual fetus is a baby, and in others it's just a mass of tissue. There is a deadly contradiction at work here. The debate for abortion used to center around whether the fetus was really a living human. But the pro-abortion folk lost that debate in every round, so the debate has changed focus. Whether the fetus is human or not is no longer the issue. It's PROCHOICE! For the woman who wants the woman's unborn child, the man who eliminates the child, accidentally, is faced with murder. For the woman who doesn't want the child, she is charged $425 by a man who kills her child legally. For the Andrea Yates or even Kasey Anthonys' of the world, they're considered monsters, for the lady emerging from the abortion clinic, she is a hero of liberal causes. There is also a deadly contradiction in the news media, (surprised?) we all heard about the Florida abortion doctor

who was gunned lower in his home, it was on 24/7 until the killer had been caught and jailed. What percentage of us heard about the Pro-Choice advocate who stormed right into a church service one sunday and gunned down the Pro-Life Minister? Where was that on the news? Or what about the woman who bled in order to death within hours of her abortion from the very clinic that the doctor who had been gunned down worked within. What about the woman who was dismissed from her job from US West for wearing a pro-life pin to operate Was there any coverage of that? Outside of locally, absolutely no there was not. Did you hear any kind of news of the prayer group who were meeting outside an abortion clinic who were beaten by police as they lay on the ground? Or about the van that deliberately and gradually ran over the pro-life activists, trying to deliver a woman to get an abortion? What about the complaints from abortion clinics to the billboards being erected near their places of business that show a picture of a murdered unborn child. Pro-Choice promoters call them "tacky, in poor taste, and offensive". In other words, as long as what we are doing within here is not visible towards the naked eye, then it's legal, guarded and acceptable. But how care you show other people what we do! Do any of these instances sound familiar to you, heard about them in the media? No, and you will not because as anyone with half the brain knows now-a-days, the actual media has an agenda almost all their own. But think of it, when it is option that determines whether an action is murder or acceptable, then we have eliminated any standard of correct and wrong. Choice does not make the determination of life versus. NOn-life, life is life regardless, the choice is in the taking of this life and that is not one that we have the right to make. This brings us to our second truth. II.There is definitely an Underlying Value being overlooked. Life is important to lord. From the life of the unborn child to the life of the retired person, life is important to God. Psalm 139:13-15 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mom's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully as well as wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame wasn't hidden from you when I is made in the secret place." Jeremiah 1:4-5 "The word of the head of the family came to me saying, "prior to I formed you in the womb I knew a person, before you were born i set you apart; we appointed you as a prophet to the nations." In reading these and other passages, we view that life is important to god, including the life of the unborn baby, whom God knows, who God forms, whom lord can set apart. However in this country, choice has become God. We are ignoring a standard God Himself set. When we ignore the value of life in favor of choice, the choice then has to extend to the the children who are born, but who turn out to be hard to manage, to seniors parents who become not capable of fending for themselves, and to the handicapped who don't "contribute to our society". And if you think that this sounds cruel, or even farfetched, listen a moment. Within the Netherlands, where abortion is and has been socially appropriate for more years than it's been here, they passed a euthanasia law allowing people to kill themselves if they so wish. But today, in the netherlands,

doctors in emergency areas are given the option of whether to take the time and efforts trying to conserve a life, as a matter of truth they have issued little cards much like our organ contributor cards that say basically, "please don't let me die, attempt to save me." If an incident victim does not have that card, the doctors make which person's final determination as to whether they will live or die. And it was just ten years back that they introduced a law that would allow parents of any child born sightless, deaf, retarded, or seriously handicapped to decide if that kid should be allowed to live, or even left to starve in order to death alone in an remoteness ward. CHOICE HAS BECOME god ! Now it's no longer an issue whether the life is human or otherwise, now it's a matter of a parents', a doctors', the stressed out adult child's term, and a life can be lawfully discarded as if it were trash. With respect for life is really scarce, no wonder we've got kids killing kids just to observe what it would feel like. You might say, Dave, what about the arguments the pro-abortion people use? Is the fetus human? Well, the holy bible says so, and for me personally that is good enough. But for those of you who can't accept the actual Bible, what about Science? science says so too. Life is understood to be that which has ability to reproduce itself, and from the moment of conception, when each cell divides and reproduces, that's life. Some use the "it is my body" argument against closing abortion, when in actuality, it's not the woman's body. The child is in the woman's body, but is distinct and separate from the woman, often having a various blood type than the lady. This is not a procedure to remove the tumor, it is a violent behave of murder upon a good innocent human infant. But let's just say that this isn't the case that the infant really is part of her entire body. We don't allow a woman in order to inject illegal drugs into her body. We don't permit her to sell her entire body in prostitution, except in Vegas, so that shouldn't truly surprise anyone. So if we don't give a woman a right to complete these things, how can she need the right to murder her unborn baby under the guise of "it's her body". It is a false argument entirely. But Dave, you might say, what about the children who are delivered handicapped. Wouldn't their "standard of living " mean anything to you? let me answer you this way, when the right of another person to reside comes down to the judgment of the contribution to society, or their comprehension as to the globe around them, then we open the floodgates for increase moral disintegration. There are many healthy, sane people who only contribution to our society is in raising their children right, i'd say that is a great contribution to society. We would not have the inspirational stories of Helen Keller, Ray Charles, or any other handicapped individual who might not have contributed like Keller or Charles but perhaps they've value because life is vital that you God. And He values all of them. But let's use this same logic. Shouldn't we then because was done in the movie, Logan's Run, set an grow older limit up to which one may live? In the movie the age was 30, now, writing as a 40 year old, i'd object to this policy, but let's say set it at sixty five. After all, they are done working then, so therefore cannot contribute any more to society. So all Senior Citizens upon reaching 65 years of age will be humanely offer sleep, medical costs would plummet, Social Security might be saved, but what

for and nursing homes would not be a necessity. Sound heartless? every day life is life, whether it is the unborn baby, or the retiree. And a woman no more has the moral to the choice to end her unborn child's life than i have to end hers, yours, or even anyone else's. Is the unborn child a life? Consider these facts : The unborn child has a heart beat by the 18th day. The unborn child's mind begins to function at 40 days. The unborn child breathes, techniques and sleeps. The unborn child grows, hiccups, and sucks his usb. The unborn child is operated on to correct defects which is how they learned that the unborn child feels pain. The unborn child is fully formed before the mother actually knows she is pregnant. The unborn child can survive outside the womb at twenty weeks and with current technology improving, that number will get pushed back to 19,18 Abortions can be performed on these unborn children up to the moment of their birth. Most people aren't aware of what happens in an abortion, and though not pleasant, the fact is you've been lied to regarding the normalcy and ease of this process. Abortion is a violent, dangerous procedure. I will not describe the methods used, I choose to not. What I will describe for you are the saddest cases, the babies who are not wanted, but are too developed to be murdered without risk to the mother. They induce labor, and the child is left on it's own in a room separate from the viewing room at the hospital. They are allowed to starve in order to death, some who are too developed are taken part way out of the womb while the 'doctor' strangles the life from the child, which upon passing away, is discarded in the garbage. III.There is a horrible Apathy poisoning our Culture. There is a terrible apathy harming our culture. We've got people heading all out for all causes. There is a car driving around Kissimmee with loads of bumper stickers on the back, among them are, "Save the Whales", "save the Manatees", "Meat is Murder" and finally, "I vote Pro-Choice". In other words, save every thing but the humans! We have people devoting time and energy to causes like saving the whale stuck in the ice flow, save the polar has from global warming, bring back the red M&M, however very few are even attempting to stop the murder of kids ! And the most tragic part of it all is that there is a terrible apathy among Christians in regards to this subject. We think that there's nothing that we can do since the problem is too big. But that's incorrect, there's a lot we can perform. If you choose to picket an abortion clinic, that's legitimate, if not legal. If you choose to pray concerning the situation, that where the power comes from. Maybe you supports a pro-life organization monetarily, that's another choice. But the single most important thing you can do only requires a few moments of your time. And that is, you can vote Pro-Life. Disagree with me if you wish, what issue is more essential than the life of an unborn child Security of our nation? how long do you think we will stay secure if we keep problem God by the murdering from the innocent? Romans 1:thirty-two makes it clear that those that give

approval to sinners for committing sin, are simply as guilty as individuals committing the sin. So the next time you go to vote for the lesser of two evils, or for your union job and the candidate is for the actual murder of human infants, just imagine yourself with your hands wrapped around the neck of the newborn, who came along along with just bad timing, because your vote for a pro-abortion prospect is exactly the same as approving, actually committing the act of abortion. When I saw my daughter born 9 weeks too early struggling to breathe, with wires coming out from just about all angles, I knew that no one would ever have the ability to tell me that abortion would be a choice any longer. Her arms were almost as thick as a crayola marker, your woman was almost six lbs, and she was the biggest baby in the neo-natal ICU. Other peoples' arms were thinner than the usual #2 pencil, tubes stuck down their throats allowing them to breathe, I watched since the nurses pricked heels to attract blood and the expression about the faces of the infants in pain. I do not believe that anyone after seeing the size of the premature baby or one of those new 3D imaging sonograms, I do not believe that anyone seeing that can still be for abortion without surrendering their humanity in the process. The question is now what will you do about it, because death Is Not a Choice. Jeremiah 29
