A Poem of Hopes and Dreams…

Tonight I offer you a poem about hopes and dreams…

    Safe Slumber
    by Debra Hurst


      Gently floating away to sleep
      Safely slumbering, resting with peace
      The most innocent of dreams
      Sweetly developing in my mind.

      While in my slumbering rest
      I can swim as much as I like
      I know not fear
      I’m safe, protected, at peace.

      I often hear voices
      Sweet sounds of music
      Some really loud
      Some soft

      There are people waiting for me
      Waiting for my birth.
      I have all my fingers and toes
      I’m ready to play.

      Something is thumping at my foot
      Something cold has my legs
      They are being pulled from behind
      Is it time to be born?

      Wow I feel a different world
      No water, no more floating
      I think I’m almost out
      I’m on my way.

      Oh, that hurt, not right
      Something hurt at the back of my head
      Something sharp pushed through my brain.

========================

…hopes and dreams destroyed by every “partial-birth” and “late-term” abortion.

[Thanks, Deb, for letting me reproduce your poem here.]

We live in world where unborn victims of Canadian infanticide have been shipped to Oregon for the electricity that their roasted little bodies can provide. We live in a world where Kermit Gosnell ran a human slaughterhouse under the name of “family planning”, with horrors too numerous and gruesome to repeat here. Want more? Look at these images of aborted babies, if you dare. How much more twisted and evil can the whole abortion situation get? How many more innocents will be sacrificed to the idol of selfishness (encompassing convenience, lust and promiscuity)?

If there’s any consolation in the genocide of tens of millions of unborn infants that was unleashed by Roe v. Wade, and perpetuated yearly by hundreds of thousands of individual males and females who refuse to exercise personal responsibility through sexual self-control, it’s that those innocent souls will go straight into the eternal grace of our Lord, who someday shall judge their killers.

Nonetheless, here on Earth, those of us who care enough will mourn the dead we never could know. How many great scientists, artists, ministers, authors, astronauts, sports stars, doctors, executives, and yes, community organizers and activists, have never seen the light of day because they were aborted? Could one of them have found the cure for cancers, AIDS, MS, MD, ALS, herpes, bipolar disorder, Alzheimers disease, schizophrenia, or the common cold? Who among them may have solved the riddles of autism or led the way to sight for the blind? The agent or detective who would have thwarted a deadly act of terrorism? The future President who would have found a way to get a true peace treaty forged across the Middle East?

What amazing things may have been discovered by those souls who never had bodies outside the womb, or by one of their own children or grandchildren who never can exist? Could one of those babies aborted in the ’70s, ’80s or ’90s have been the right friend to help you with your worst troubles today, or the right spouse for the lonely, the right counselor for the broken, or the Good Samaritan who could have saved a loved one killed in a crash? What amazing accomplishments and everyday relationships never can happen because the difference-maker was aborted?

My God, what have we lost?

Planned Parenthood’s Conflict of Interest

by Leave a Comment

Of course Planned Parenthood wants European kids (and ultimately American children) to reject moral teachings of their parents and cultures, whether religious or not, and engage in sexual activity.

Why would this be? To answer that question, your path is clear: Follow the money.

It is to Planned Parenthood’s own financial benefit to have as many people as possible getting contraceptives and abortions from their outlets. Planned Parenthood’s very survival depends on the form of irresponsible behavior and lack of self-control that we also know as extramarital sex. The lucrative abortion industry at large, of which Planned Parenthood is the biggest supporter and participant, similarly survives and thrives off the very existence of promiscuity. All other reasons and excuses they provide simply are diversionary façades — tactics designed to obfuscate the truth. The truth is counted in dollars.

Would every individual’s collective choice of abstinence outside marriage put the abortion industry out of business? That’s a yes-or-no question. Answer it correctly, and you’ve found the money. In doing so, you’ve found the truth.

Planned Parenthood’s published position on these issues constitutes a financial conflict of interest so obvious, so brazen, so easy to see, that I cannot fathom how anyone could miss this. [EDIT] I must admit upon further reflection that I may have been somewhat over-exuberant with my original language here, so I’ll instead provide an analogy for further elucidation.

If one is making a widget, and in order to keep making the widget, people need to suffer the problem that leads to demand for the widget, then market economics alone (or what some to the left of center call capitalist greed) dictate that the widget-maker do everything possible to ensure demand, or else go out of business. Cigarette companies, in this vein, tried for decades with unfortunate success to get kids and young adults hooked. We know this now.

Abortion providers like Planned Parenthood (as well as for-profit clinics), therefore, want kids to screw, early and often, nevermind all the problems that causes. It’s the same lousy concept. The difference between Planned Parenthood and a slimy tobacco company in this ideal is in ostensible for-profit status only. Otherwise…none.
