Expect the Obvious

 

"I opened a site looking for an abortion photograph to add (above) as the intro to this post. When I finished crying, I decided not to use a photo.  There is something about unborn children, cut to pieces, that I find distasteful.  I have decided to spare you what my eyes cannot unsee."

-- F.A. Villari

We can only truly expect the obvious - what is in front of our eyes. We can wish for something else, but reality usually wins out. This is as it is with the “pro-choice” group. We expect them to be critical of violence, as the “pro-life” group has been critical of the violence of abortion. But, why would we expect this from a group called "pro-life"?

Well, for one thing, a group calling itself “pro-life” advocating death is counterintuitive. On the other hand, “pro-choice” chooses to advocate death. The mass murder of unborn children should give us a clue to their mindset. I offer the obvious: If you’re willing to murder children it is a small step to the murdering of adults.  Those who murder innocents should pay the penalty.  Just saying.

It is obvious from my writings that I’m a “pro-life” advocate, but even I have my dark side. I hold to a “payback clause” where my view of abortion is concerned. It is my fervent hope that Adolf Hitler endures abortion, at the very moment of birth, for every life he was responsible for extinguishing during his reign of terror. I want him to feel hope f life and have that hope extinguished over 12,000,000 times. There is a special place in hell for people that think like I do. It is a burden I readily accept. It is what it is.

Abortion has its place, unfortunately. Rape, incest, and the safety of the mother are a few instances, but even rape and incest have the “morning after pill” to prevent a fetus from forming long enough to be defined as life. If we are going to give away free condoms, I think we should fund free “morning-after pills” to be available at pharmacies. I think it will make good sense to everyone but the purveyors of abortion.  This leaves the "pro-choice" group with the right to choose.

Everyone should expect the obvious.

Rowe v. Wade is overturned, and the murder of babies will go back underground where coat hangers were the surgical implement of choice, and “mothers” will have to go back to weighing their safety against responsibility for spreading their legs at every turn. Or they can take the free condoms and the damned pills, “birth control” and “morning after,” for the very reasons they were developed.

Abortion clinics have their place, to abort the “tissue” before the time life is defined by the laws of the states the clinics operate in.

I expect nothing but the obvious, and that is very sad.

“I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.”

-- Ronald Reagan

Editor's Note

(Re: disclaimer cum "get out of jail free" card)

Before you go getting your panties in a bunch - it is essential to understand that this is just an opinion site and, as such, can be subjected to scrutiny by anyone with a differing opinion. It doesn't make either view any more right or wrong than the other. Opinion, presented in this context, is a way of inciting others to think and, hopefully, to form their own opinions, if they haven't already done so. This is also why, occasionally, I will present an "opinion" just to stir an emotional pot. Where it may sound like I agree with the statements made, I'm more interested in getting others to consider an alternate viewpoint.

I fervently hope that we keep open and active minds when reading opinions, and while engaging in peaceful and constructive discussion, in an arena of mutual respect, concerning those opinions offered. After twenty-three years of military intelligence, I have come to believe that engaging each other in this manner, and in this arena, is a way we will learn tolerance and respect for differing beliefs, cultures, and viewpoints.

We all fall from grace, some more often than others; it is part of being human. God's test for us is what we learn from the experience... and what we do afterward.
