Vote Pro Life!!! Be a hero, help stop state sponsored GENOCIDE!

All,

This is an important blog to me because I feel strongly about abortion morally. I could easily have been aborted as well, but for the Grace of God. For anyone considering abortion, anyone who has had an abortion, or anyone who supports the abortion cause, I ask that you read this carefully.
Dr. Fredrik Broekhuizen performs abortions and testified under oath in US District Court on April 5th, 2004 about how he does abortions. The following describes LEGAL activity:
"I will then, while holding on to the fetus...try and ease those parts through the cervix...The fetus will either continue to come or will begin to break apart. It will break apart wherever or whatever it is. It may be in the middle of the leg, it may be at the abdomen, it may be at the chest... (Planned Parenthood v. Ashcroft)
The preceeding discussion is based upon the experience that an abortion doctor has on a daily basis. Abortions have been performed in the past almost to the point of birth. Currently, there is a moratorium on 3rd trimester abortions. In those abortions, doctors reported that the most effective method of killing the fetus was to inject the womb with saline solution, causing a poisoning effect, followed by cutting a hole in the skull of the fetus and using a vacuum to remove the brain. The fetus would then be sectioned and removed from the womb. Thank God that late term abortions are now illegal.
However, a baby has feeling within weeks of conception. I will not elaborate on facts here, they are easily attainable on most websites about abortion. However, I do question some of the myths associated with abortion. Allow me to enumerate some below:

1. It is a woman's right to choose: Yes, I fully agree. It is a woman's right to choose whether or not she has sex. Once a pregnancy ensues, I believe that a woman has no right to end the life of an unborn child. Using the logic currently in place to support abortion, a woman should have the right to kill her children, born or unborn. Can you imagine an inconvenienced mother killing her children on the street or taking them to a doctor to be euthanized, with no punishment to follow? That is just as ridiculous as a woman going to an abortion clinic and having her unborn baby mercilessly killed. There is no difference.

2. Life does not begin until birth: Tell that to the baby. Life is defined as anything that grows, respirates, reproduces, intakes energy and expels waste. A fetus meets all those requirements. A fetus can feel pain within several weeks of conception. It can move, suck its thumb, and fully resembles a person in just several more weeks. How could it not be classified as alive? Many premature babies have survived their early births spending less time in the womb than is legal for an abortion. If a baby can be born premature and is no older than an aborted fetus, how can we not classify the fetus as alive? We are not in the Dark Ages, and we no longer believe that passage through the cervix is the lifegiving process. If that were so, explain what a Caesarian Section does to provide life?

3. It is a political issue: No, it is a moral issue. It is life and death. There are major consequences, not just to the murdered fetus, but also to the mother. Many women have the equivalent of PTSD following abortions. Often times the women suffer resulting medical conditions. Mr. Ron Fitzsimmons, Executive Director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers states to the New York Times (26 February 1997) that, "the abortion rights folks know it, the anti abortion folks know it, and so probably, does everyone else. One of the facts of abortion is that women enter abortion clinics to kill their fetuses. It is a form of killing...you're ending a life." This man is a SUPPORTER of abortion.

4. The true politics of confusion: The same left leaning people who support abortion (in 2000, 1.31 million abortions were performed) tend to oppose the war in Iraq. Where does it make sense to support the deaths of 1.31 million babies who couldn't choose their fate, yet oppose a war fought by volunteers that has claimed 3,000 American lives? That doesn't make any sense at all! 1.31 million dead babies are acceptable losses? However, the same left leaning citizens (California) who support abortion passed a law making it a double murder to kill a pregnant woman. (Lacy Peterson Case). If killing a pregnant woman causes loss of the fetus, and the fetus is deemed alive enough to be murdered, how than can't it be considered alive enough to be protected from abortion?

There are options other than abortion. Most abortions occuring in this nation are not due to rape, incest, or massive deformation of the fetus. Those reasons are sad, yet understandable. No, most abortions in the US are deemed, "convenience abortions". It simply isn't convenient to keep the baby. This murder of innocents is the near the end of a terrible legacy of consumerism. We are a disposable society. If it isn't pleasant or convenient, we get rid of it. Now, this pertains to babies as well. If you are a grandparent, watch out. The next step is the euthanasia of the elderly. Who's next? Little by little, with the disintegration of ethics, morals, and the loss of a societal belief in God, we are slipping into a society not unlike the Nazi's. We no longer value human life. We as a nation fake our outrage at crime, yet hover around a TV to catch the sickest of details. (Does anyone else believe that the media couldn't wait to tell the world that the boys who were recently rescued from a kidnapper that they were repeatedly molested? The media was salivating over the chance for a sordid story as soon as Ben and Shawn were rescued. That is the society we have devolved in to.) We are a society living in chaos, with no firmament to stand upon. We are postmoral. The greatest symbol of this postmoralism is the devaluation of human life. Every abortion committed takes us further from our salvation as a nation. Please, take the time to look at the links I have provided below if I didn't convince you that abortion is wrong and evil. Or, you could simply ask the lady whose lawsuit made abortion legal in the US (Roe v. Wade), Jane Roe aka Norma McCorvey. She is now a strong supporter of the Pro-Life movement.

If you are considering an abortion, please, contact one of these organizations. You can always make a phone call and take the time to make the right choice. You can't bring back a life. Please pass this blog on in bulletin form, or copy and paste it to your blog. I don't need the credit, the act of reposting this is credit to Him who created us all. If you had an abortion and want to reconcile yourself, be glad. If you are truly sorry, you will be forgiven. Speak to any local minister, or visit your local Catholic Church. There are people who can help you, and there are many who love you. The Church is here to help you, not to hurt you. Thank you for reading this message!

Jason Burkos and Conservative Thoughts

I seldom write emails encouraging you to vote in any direction. However, this election is so important to our future, that I cannot stand by without expressing my personal thoughts. I support John McCain as the next president. Here is why.Sen. McCain served our nation faithfully during the horrible Vietnam Conflict. As a POW, he was tortured routinely by his sadistic NVA guards. They knew that his father was the admiral commanding operations in the Pacific for the United States. Sen. McCain was given the opportunity for freedom due to his father's position. He chose to stay in captivity, citing the Code of Conduct for POW's, stating that the release of POW's is determined by length of captivity. By choosing to remain faithful to his fellow prisoners and our Code of Conduct, his partially healed left arm was rebroken and he was put into solitary confinement for several years, with torture being his only human contact. Sen. McCain was loyal to his ideals and his fellow Americans. This proves his steadfastness and resolve, as well as his unquestioned integrity.Sen. McCain is Pro Life without ANY equivocation. Regardless of your personal beliefs on abortion, it is refreshing to see a politician answer a question as simply and directly as Sen. McCain did to Pastor Rick Warren. If you believe that abortion is murder, and that our nation is cursed with comfort abortions, and you believe that human life begins at conception, there is no choice as to your selection for president.Sen McCain is experienced in Foreign Policy and National Defense. During the recent turmoil in the Republic of Georgia, John McCain provided the information and guidance that explained the conflict. He also knows how to deal with Russia from the perspective of a tested "Cold Warrior". Russia must be dealt with from a position of strength and resolve. Though there are always points available for diplomacy, Moscow must understand that the United States will NOT allow the national sovereignty of our allies to be violated. This includes allies such as the Republic of Georgia and Poland. His opponent has no experience dealing with major conflicts nor with enemies such as may be seen in the near future. There is no room for error and no room for inexperience in our dealings with Russia.Sen. McCain supports progressive energy development. His Lexington Plan, named for the first battle for our own national independence, provides an excellent plan for our own Energy Independence. By combining tax credits for alternative energy, domestic drilling for oil, wind farms, solar initiatives, and mandates for higher MPG in domestic automobiles, Sen. McCain lays the progressive groundwork for the near future. Our national security demands that an intelligent plan be established for energy independence. Also, our economy must be protected from the unstable petroleum market directed by nations hostile to the United States. OPEC is a danger to every American and our national economic stability.Sen. McCain is known as a political maverick who has always been willing to step across the aisle to achieve America's goals. Though this has brought him irritation from ultra conservatives who allow ideology to trump progress, his actions prove that he is not just a Republican, but an American. He has transcended politics to become a doer instead of a talker. As a result, he is respected in both parties and especially by other independent minded politicians such as Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a democrat. His opponent, however, shares few of these honorable characteristics. Nor is he ready to lead.Barack Obama voted against protecting unborn children. Even worse, he was a lone voice in the Illinois legislature voting against a measure that would protect survivors of abortions. Such children were born and taken to the morgue to die alone and in pain. Obama refused to sign legislation to help those children. He truly stands for infanticide.Barack Obama has ZERO experience leading anything other than a legislative office. He has never sponsored a bill of major consequence. His knowledge of foreign policy is negligible at best. His solution to the Russia / Georgia crisis was, "Let's have them sit together to talk out their differences." Obviously by his answer, he has no knowledge of the deep geopolitics involved in this situation. John McCain does.Barack Obama has ties to domestic terrorists, including members of the 1970's radical terrorist group Weather Underground. They planned to bomb the US Capitol, The Pentagon, and NYC Police HQ. Is this the man you want in the White House?Many Americans want change. I do as well. However, change must come in the form of educated steps, not rhetoric and platitudes. I am truly frightened at the changes that Senator Obama will bring to our nation. Even worse, I don't truly believe that he even knows what the ramifications to his decisions will be if he is elected.My friends, if you love your county, regardless of your feelings about our current administration, I urge you to look closely at your decision this November. Visit John McCain's website, http://www.bebo.com/Link.jsp?Url=http://www.johnmccain.com and find the answers you need to vote with your intellect. Elections aren't about emotion. A true democracy must be inhabited with men and women who vote based upon an intelligent analysis of the issues. Emotion must not play into this election. Vote with your mind. I encourage you to vote for a man who is ready to lead us into the dangers of the next decade. Please cast your vote for Sen. John McCain this November.Finally, I ask you to please forward my letter to your family, colleagues, friends, and ANYONE who needs help deciding how to vote this November. Please note that I have no affiliation, either paid or volunteer, with the McCain campaign. I am simply passing along my personal point of view and expressing my support for Senator McCain.Thank you and God Bless America.
