But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. ~ Matthew 18: 6
Yours truly DGH: Four words in the Ten Commandments criminalized abortion more than 4000 years ago with “Thou Shalt Not Kill”. It’s a crying shame we have to do it all over again but better with “Life through the Texas heartbeat law” than not at all.
Jason D. Bland, American Thinker: Texas has become the latest state to sign what’s become known as the Heartbeat Law, which essentially criminalizes abortion once the baby’s heartbeat is detected. This is obviously a great win for pro-life advocates, but more importantly for the countless babies who will have a chance at life and the many mothers saved from the grief and regret of a lost child.
The CDC’s latest metrics on abortion, compiled from 2018, reported that 619,591 babies were aborted. (State reporting of abortion data to the CDC is voluntary, and a number of them don’t report, including highly populated ones like Maryland and California.) This number dropped slightly from 2009, when 789,217 babies were aborted. Consider that over the course of a decade (2009–2018), nearly seven million babies were aborted in this country. This is a national disgrace.
DGH: One thing that never seems to get mentioned in articles to do with abortion, are the numbers recorded by gynecologists when listing miscarriages under abortion headings. One in every 100 women for example, run the risk of an ectopic pregnancy in which the fetus develops outside the uterus typically in a fallopian tube, a not very nice procedure but lethal if not tended to immediately. This would (and should) be referred to as a “miscarriage” not an abortion. Big difference.
Jason D. Bland: Abortion remains a divisive topic, especially among radical progressives who think the feelings and desires of the mother outweigh the life growing and living within them. The people who champion the need to save the polar bears, rare frogs, and ancient trees are the same people who have made human fetuses disposable. The hypocrisy is glaringly obvious. Yet this sentiment may be losing traction as more people are beginning to see through the charade of “women’s health” as a reason for legalized abortion.
Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. ~ Matthew 18: 10
Thankfully, leaders with a strong moral foundation don’t consider abortion up for debate. It shouldn’t be a political argument — we’re talking about lives, not debating tax rates. Governor Abbott of Texas and others exhibit this type of courageous leadership, affirming their stance to preserve the sanctity of life. Our political leaders across the land should do the same.
DGH: To confirm the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy the gynecologist searches first for the child’s heartbeat, followed by several later tests to confirm its location. Generally speaking, both mother and baby would be lost within a matter of days without action by the gynecologist, since any attempt at carrying to term is always most likely to be deadly. Sad but true. That being said, any other procedure whose sole purpose is to end the life of an unborn child should be illegal.
Jason D. Bland: Unfortunately, Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities are in a race to influence young expectant mothers by giving them easy options for abortion … One option young mothers should consider is adoption. There are so many parents across the nation who can’t have children and would do just about anything to have a child of their own. Seven million lives! Babies who were never asked if they wanted to live, if they wanted to take their first steps, graduate from high school, or start a family. Seven million lives that could have added to our national fabric, been productive citizens, trade workers, teachers, scholars, or artists. But they never had a chance.
DGH: To a great degree, abortion at will has destroyed America and definitely “white culture”. People simply stopped having kids, so a government needing a growing population imported people – legally and illegally – with anti-American JoeDementia and surrogates now busting it all wide open without remorse. So now we’re faced with the fact that whites are down from 95% of the population to 45%, and when the last of the boomers are gone, it’ll be 20%.
Ever lived in a place that was only 20% white? Welcome to “America” circa 2040 and beyond.
By the way, the last time we checked, IUDs are still free, and there’s absolutely no justification for “legal” abortion. We the (80 million+) People are well aware that the demoMarxocrat Liberals are always rewarding gross irresponsibility. And generally of their own volition.
Buckle up “Whiteys”, reaction from the Left on life through the Texas heartbeat law is beginning to look a lot like a real boondoggle from here on out!
Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ~ Matthew 18: 18
