Slaughter House

         Dear Abortionists,

         It seems as though the pitch you try to sell is that abortion is the perfect solution for women who have unplanned pregnancies.  It’s easy, quick, and pain free, plus this baby is not a baby. This baby is a flab of skin. That’s like saying, ‘There is no God, and I hate him!’ Such a false statement! Abortionists say that the baby won’t feel a thing, (I thought they were flabs of skin?) and neither will the mother. Wrong. Abortionists say that it is not yet a baby. You abortionists are forced to lie to women, telling them that they are not yet babies…don’t you feel anything at all when you lie to their faces like that? The mother will feel the pain, regret, and dirty sinful deed she has committed, for the rest of her life! Not only to her as the mother but also to; her father, and her parents, and her friends, whether they choose to admit it or not. ‘It’s not yet a person’ you say. ‘It’s ok to kill her before she is out of the womb,’ you vote. I’ve read articles and stories from women that abortion does indeed hurt physically and emotionally. Countless women have shared that you will never ever forget the sound of the vacuum as it sucks the baby out…that it is does not hurt, in order to go through with the consent forms. When in reality, it is indeed a child that you are murdering, and convincing mothers to ok the murder, therefore becoming an accomplice. You suffer from severe physical cramps. And the emotional pain never goes away…you will feel that pain the rest of your life. The only stories of women not regretting abortion are few and are women I think, who don’t have a heart. Children are indeed people, and they are still people, whether they are in the womb or not! Statistics show that the teen abortions that happen around the world happen per 1,000 females between the ages of 15-19 years of age. In 2006 there were 52 unintended pregnancies for every 1,000 women aged 15-44. In other words about 5% of reproductive-age women have an unintended pregnancy each year! By age 45 more than half of all American women will have experienced an unintended pregnancy and three in 10 will have had an abortion. In this day and age, the commandment, ‘do not murder’ is taken way too lightly! Matthew 5:21-22 states; “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘do not murder’ and anyone who murders will be subject to judgement. But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgement. Again, anyone who says to his brother, ‘Raca’ is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, ‘you fool!’ is in danger of the fire of hell.” Murder is an understatement in my own opinion. “The LORD called me from the womb, from the body of my mother, he named my name.” Isaiah 49:1. “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward! Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth!” Psalm 127:3-4. This is manslaughter and I know that Our Heavenly Father’s heart is broken over ‘the complacency in our culture over the murder of those without a voice.’ –Weston. The proportion of pregnancies that were unintended remained essentially between 2001 (48%) and 2006 (49%). Babies in the womb without a voice are still people. Therefore people in the industry-abortionists are running a slaughter house, and that makes abortion manslaughter.
