See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them; I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, ~ Deuteronomy 30: 15-17a

The Leftists have veered off onto a very dark and dangerous track, the beginning traces of which we could arguably place at the feet of renowned atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair, from whose argument the Supreme Court took prayer out of schools in 1963; following which, came the banning of the Ten Commandments on government properties; then onto abortion on demand in Roe v Wade; the Democrats booing and denying God three times at their 2012 Convention; and lopping off public dissension all the way up to their latest abomination of infanticide.

Are you getting the trend here?

These out of control leftists seem hellbent on ridding the world of Judeo-Christianity and Israel in particular as a sovereign nation, never mind it being the apple of God’s eye. They’re about destroying decency, tradition, and all that reflects the Divine. Their desire is to twist reason into a rubbery, corkscrewy emotionalism that knows no restraint but in assuming greater power.

Might makes right and you will submit to us and you will surrender your territory and prosperity to us, the blessed, the high and holy ones, the lords of all that is! [sic]

Anyone with even a hint of conscience must ask the question, ‘What has happened to America?’

The only answer that makes sense is that Liberal Democrats happened. One must also ask just how long God will allow us to exist in the peace and freedom we Americans have long enjoyed.

The idea that other states in addition to New York and Virginia are actually considering infanticide legislation along the same lines is truly unthinkable. That God will have any mercy whatsoever for what these soulless men and women are doing is the final question that should occur to these barbarians.

Back in 1983, the only book ever written by a sitting president (President Ronald Reagan for those memory-challenged) addressed this very topic. Titled Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation (linked down below) it is an historically important document and one of the most passionate and well-argued pro-life essays ever written.

The publication of such an essay by a President while in office (and in his first term, no less) was unheard of, but the knowledge that some 15 million unborn children had been aborted in the first ten years following Roe v Wade, compelled president Reagan to address a horrible practice doing irreparable harm to both families and the entire nation.

The essay is a short but brilliant condemnation of abortion.

The ugly underside of the pro-abortion ‘quality of life’ argument is fully exposed, drawing a parallel between the Roe vs. Wade and Dred Scott decision over slavery that had divided Americans a century-plus earlier. As much as the human trafficking of slavery affected us all, so does taking the life of the unborn, since it diminishes the value of all human life. In other words, according to the infanticide Democrats some human lives are worthless and thus deserving of death.

Legalized abortion since its earliest days, has put America at the top of a very slippery slope. Not only are unborn babies being killed because they aren’t wanted, but many are ‘put away’ because of defects, which someone decides would be a burden on the parents and/or family of the child. Such babies are dubbed useless and without value by the abortionist proponents, and are thus denied the human rights for whom our Founding Fathers promised every American.

Just as slaves were denied the value of their human lives in America’s past, ‘useless’ unborn babies are now being denied that very same value in this evil day and age. President Reagan wrote that such arbitrary evaluation of unborn lives must stop – way back in 1983.

In terms of illustration, the courts of Indiana had allowed ‘Baby Doe’ to starve to death after his birth because the child had Down Syndrome. In essence, retardation had been equated to a crime, one which deserved the death penalty. No nation can survive and prosper when a group of individuals can look at a child and declare whether that child has any value as a human being or not.

Fast forward now to this second month of February 2019, and such demonic thinking has indeed led the nation to the very brink of ignominy where the crime of infanticide has been allowed to be couched in synonyms of spurious meaning to facilitate its purpose of baby murder.

The core of Reagan’s forceful argument is to be found here and today: America has two choices. It can be a nation wherein some human lives are declared to be of no value, or it can be a nation which protects and defends the sanctity of all life. We cannot survive as a free nation, Reagan warned, ‘when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide’.

That is the core of Reagan’s eloquent and insightful essay, which rings loudly down through the ages as one of the most powerful and logical anti-abortion arguments in the library of pro-life advocates. Now more timely than ever, it is an essay that all Americans should read, ponder over, and enjoin with their collective Congress members in coming to grips with one of the most specious arguments in human history.

Infanticide or life.

… and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. ~ Deuteronomy 30: 17b-20
