If you were in a hospital and you saw a person with a knife in the baby nursery start stabbing all the newborn babies to death, what would YOU do to stop them?
When I started actively getting involved in the ProLife movement in the 1980s there were some of the more militant people, predominantly in America, who were bombing Abortion Clinics. They targeted them after hours so people wouldn't get hurt (we're pro LIFE remember) but it started the discussion amongst us about just how far each of us would go individually and the hypothetical question I started with became a question we ALL had to seriously ask ourselves.
I drew my own boundaries of where I would and wouldn't step and what I was willing to do fight for the unborn.
I always started with PRAYER.
Then I voted for ProLife candidates. Wrote constant letters to my MPs and MLAs. Supported Crisis Pregnancy Centers. Stood in front of Abortion Clinics. Knelt and prayed in front of Abortion Clinics. Marched or Walked for Life in whatever city I lived in but mostly debated on behalf of the ProLife movement against Planned Parenthood.
So, here I am 40 Years, 4 LONG DECADE, later and the death toll amongst unborn babies is 73 MILLION per year (according to the World Health Organization) and I am left wondering what we're doing wrong that the death rate has grown to this extent.
🤔
Back when the ProLife movement started the debate was very different. The first question was “Is it a human or just a “potential human”?
Then the next question was,
“At what point during the pregnancy is it still humane to abort the fetus?”
And as always, “Should the victims of Rape and Incest be forced to give birth to a baby when it may cause them further emotional trauma?”
Let me deal with the last question first because THAT answer will NEVER change.
You don't kill a child because they have a horrible father.
Case Closed.
As for the other questions, they existed BEFORE the Science we now have has rendered them obsolete. We can now analyze DNA and video actual embryos and fetuses. They are 100% human beings AT CONCEPTION.
Now the sole question remains. "Should their mothers have the right to kill them because they are an unplanned inconvenience?
Let that question stew for a moment as I go back to this “Why haven't we been able to stop or hinder the onslaught of slaughter?”
In a word, “INCONVENIENCE”❗️
Not that of the pregnant mother. Ours.
We go and walk around in a park for a couple hours on a sunny, Saturday with our friends and family, then spend the next 364 days of the year congratulating ourselves for our tireless proLife stance and then whining and complaining that the laws never change.
Of COURSE THEY DON'T ❗️ Our politicians can see we aren't taking this fight seriously and are certainly capable of avoiding us for one Saturday a Year.
Why do we make so little effort when so much is on the line? We don't want to be INCONVENCED.
Ooo. Sorry. Does that hit a little too close to home because it is the thing we judge the ProChoice side for?
What has also struck me is how few Social Media posts there are supporting Life.
Also, whenever I see a ProLife Walk or March organized there are MAJOR guidelines to Follow.
Wear a white shirt.
Don't yell things.
Don't bring a megaphone.
Don't make your own ProLife sign..Etc. Etc.
So now let's return to the original hypothetical question.
If you were in a hospital and you saw a person with a knife in the baby nursery start stabbing all the newborn babies to death, what would YOU do to stop them?
You see, it isn't actually a hypothetical question at all. It is the reality of what is currently happening and the butchering assassin has been hired by the baby's mother and in many countries (like the UK and Canada) fully paid for by the Government. Your tax dollars hard at work.
So again I ask “WHAT are YOU personally willing to do to make it stop”?
Because our polite, mamby-pamby, wimpy, milque-toast, never take even the slightest step out of line method ain't doing it.
140 Abortions occur EVERY MINUTE. How many babies died during the few minutes it took you to read my post?
Let's get Practical.
What can YOU do right now?
How much time do you spend PRAYING for the Unborn each day?
Why don't you go retrieve a picture of a Baby in the Womb and post it on Social Media. A picture is worth a THOUSAND words.
Discover who currently represents you in the Federal Government, get their contact information and start sending messages.
Emails, Telephone and particularly snail mail. You can choose your words, a stamp is not needed and it arrives on their desk dated and signed, which makes it a legal document that can't be simply deleted.
Express yourself. Create your OWN ProLife sign and message and bring it to a ProLife rally. (What are the ProLife organizers going to do? Fire you? Make a citizens Arrest?
We don't need to get violent, but we DO need to “up our game” and become seriously and creatively annoying. Ask the Lord what to do. I'm sure His ideas are WAY better than mine.
The Truth With Love,
Always Laura-Lee
