Socially Polite Child Abuse: A Self Deception Stemming From Legal Abortion

According to Judie Brown of American Life League, a nation that permits legal access to abortion is a nation that ultimately "persuades people to lie to themselves." 

Abortion in Canada has led to the same tragic effects. Since the law (or lack thereof) communicates a deception, and law itself acts as a teacher, we are left with a multitude of lies surrounding this injustice.

Socially Polite Child Abuse

Friday, January 24, 2014 - By Judie Brown

Most Americans do not think of abortion as child abuse. But as Mother Teresa once said, “Any country that accepts abortion is . . . teaching its people . . . to use any violence to get what they want.”

I would add that not only does abortion teach people the palatability of violence, it persuades people to lie to themselves. Self-deception has been gripping our land for many years.

The results of this charade are nearly unfathomable when one contemplates the actual number of children who have died over the past forty-plus years. And the manner in which they die is even more disturbing. Or is it?

Current headlines lead us to believe that perhaps the sort of child abuse that occurs prior to birth, rendering the victim dead, is not considered to be a form of violence, and is rather defined as advances in medicine. Take for example the activities of the Shenzhen company in China. The firm has announced it is getting closer to allowing parents to pick the embryo of their choice that is deemed most likely to succeed in life. The firm “is mapping the genes of people who are gifted in maths in a bid to isolate the genes that make them smarter than the average person.”

The scientific journal Nature confirms this practice and its popularity saying, “As genetics allows us to turn the tide on human disease, it’s also granting the power to engineer desirable traits into humans.”

Genetic engineering is setting the stage for a type of super baby. As one report suggests, modifying embryos will become the wave of the future, giving would-be parents the opportunity to select a child in the same way one might choose a piece of fruit from the grocery shelf. 

Many babies will die during the course of this embryo design and selection process, each of them rejected due to imperfections. While these embryonic babies may not be viewed as members of the human race by many, if not most, Americans, that does not change the facts.

Mark Oshinskie sees this and writes, “Following the devaluation of babies in the developed world in the 1970s and 80s, babies became scarce and, consequently, desirable once again. Now, any means used to make babies is seen as good, as long as pregnancy occurs at a convenient time.”

Exactly! As long as the convenience factor is uppermost in the minds of those seeking to either bear a child or get rid of one, nothing is off limits. Professionals and their allies accommodate such self-absorbed needs and, voila, socially polite child abuse becomes tolerable—often even a comfortable choice. 

This violence we see and know occurs is emphatically denied by the purveyors of reproductive technology, contraception, and surgical abortion. All of a sudden there is no child, just a problem or an opportunity, depending on how one looks at it. 

That “it,” of course, is a human individual.

Back in the day, stalwart pro-life political leaders introduced the simply worded Paramount Human Life Amendment as a way of ending the madness. At the time we thought the language was perfect. But today, given the current state of genetic manipulation and the rise in use and abuse of in vitro fertilization, among other things, we realize that the word “fertilization” is inadequate if we wish to protect every person from his biological beginning.

The simple fact is that killing a baby—whether he is one moment old or on the brink of being born alive—is child abuse of the worst kind. Whether that killing occurs in a petri dish, on a laboratory table, in the fallopian tube, or prior to implantation or in the womb, it is still killing a person.

The only way to end socially polite child abuse is to make these facts perfectly clear and repeat them frequently. Lives depend on it.

Parable of Poverty, Dead Children And A Religious Coalition

We are strolling down the street with representatives of the Religious Social Action Coalition. We have come from a faraway country to learn strategies for dealing with poverty in our own country, having learned of the formation of this remarkable Coalition.

They are about to take us on a tour of the streets of St. John’s and show us the reality of child poverty, which they claim needs to be urgently addressed—even abolished—because children are needlessly suffering every day.

As we walk and they share with us their exciting vision of a city and a province without poverty, a horrid sight suddenly overcomes us. There on the sidewalk is the lifeless body of an extremely young child, severely lacerated and with some body parts even missing. We are immediately repulsed and horrified.

“What,” we exclaim, “has happened here to this child? Surely a great and violent crime has been perpetrated against this child and neither the criminal nor the neighbourhood has had the decency to ensure a proper burial! Furthermore it is obvious that the police have not even been called to inquire into this greatest of all injustices against an innocent child!”

Leaders of the Coalition assure us not to be alarmed. They note that we are likely to see at least three of these children in such condition in the city of St. John’s each day that we are on our tour, some of them even much younger than this child and some of them entirely in small pieces as if shredded.

We protest and demand how it is that this can be so. Leaders try to calm us and assure us that this is not a problem to be concerned with. They would like to hurry us along past the dead child and further along into the tour. But we protest further, insisting that we must know more about these heinous crimes that are taking place against innocent children in this great city of St. John’s. We simply cannot move past this child and resume the tour until the grave injustice has been explored and understood.

The Coalition emphasizes that this is not their mandate and that they have chosen to look at other ways in which they can help children and their families, poverty being what they consider to be the most pressing matter. They boast that the urgency of addressing poverty was such an animating force among the leaders of the Coalition that never before in the history of NL is there a record of such a diverse group of religious leaders from all faiths coming together with a united voice to address such a great injustice.

But immediately we ask the leaders, “But what of these children lying in the streets, violently killed and disposed of in such an inhuman, undignified manner? What of justice for them? And why did not such a diverse and powerful Coalition first come together to put an end to the evil practice of child killing in the city? Of what use is it to expend energy in feeding and clothing children when clearly many children in the city are in serious danger of being killed?”

The leaders seem somewhat shaken and at a loss to answer these penetrating questions but assure us that others are looking after the problem, and that, in fact, many residents of the city do not find the killing of these children objectionable.

We are dumbfounded by this claim, asking Coalition members what sort of callous hard hearted people live in this city. Furthermore we demand to know why it is that those who have been assigned to solve these despicable crimes have not been able to put a halt to such barbarism.

We surmise that such crimes might be the result of recent actions by some particularly heinous serial killer(s). But upon inquiry we learn that this activity has been going on for almost forty years in the city. We are totally shocked and appalled by this disclosure and immediately cancel our tour in order to return to our native country, realizing we will learn nothing from Coalition leaders about addressing any of the needs of human beings, let alone children, and admonishing the Coalition to immediately change the focus of their efforts from “abolishing poverty” to abolishing child-killing.

[This parable needs only one distinction be made in order to clearly reflect the reality of our decrepit condition: Mothers don’t dump their children on the streets of St. John’s. It’s certainly too visible but also unnecessary. The government pays abortionists to kill their children and dispose of them in a dumpster or sell their body parts to various private enterprise firms.]

Baby Left to Die in Calgary Dumpster Had Cigarette Butt Stuck to Forehead

Heartless. Demonic.

The baby left to die in a city dumpster was covered in blood and afterbirth with "an extinguished cigarette butt stuck to his forehead," when he was rescued, court heard.

During a police interview that lasted at least seven hours, the woman accused of leaving him there told a detective she had known she was pregnant with that child before he ended up in the trash.

Full article here…

What an awful, revolting crime! How is it that a society can treat its most vulnerable, helpless members with such hatred, ruthlessness and callousness?

Some will say, yes, it’s too bad—even shocking—but it doesn’t happen often so let’s not make more of it than it really is.

Is that so? But what about the worst things we do to the other 100,000 victims every year in Canada?

God help us out of this hellish pit of personal “choice”.
