The Supreme Court of the United Stated of America issued a decision in the case of

 

GONZALES v. CARHART & PLANNED PARENTHOOD FEDERATION OF AMERICA, on April 18^th, 2007.

 

In this case, the Supreme Court upheld the partial birth abortion ban. Henceforth it will be mostly illegal to kill babies using this method which is seen below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However the more common dilation and evacuation method where the baby is removed piece by piece is still allowed. This method has been considered more tasteful because you don't have to deal with watching the baby kick and squirm as the scissors are being jammed into its scull and its brains being suctioned out. The baby is ripped apart inside the womb and therefore does not squirm as visibly. The type of abortion below is therefore still allowed:

 

 

 

 

 

So is the saline method whereby the baby is scorched inside and out by a Saline solution and then delivered dead, as seen below:

 

 

Of course the downside of the saline burn method is that it doesn’t always work and babies who fight for their lives have survived these abortions. For example, see the stories of Gianni Jesse and Amy Charlton at http://www.abortionfacts.com/survivors/survivors.asp. You may have heard of the more recent case where the mother is suing Planned Parenthood because they failed to kill her baby and now she has the inconvenience of a baby to take care of. "Wrongful life" it’s called.

 

---

 

It’s anybody's guess whether the abortion seen below is still legal. This is either a Partial Birth Abortion where the scissors were opened so widely as to completely decapitate the baby, which would now be illegal. Or a standard D&E where a large chunk of the baby remained intact - which would be legal. I am not a Doctor - I am sure the Doctors could tell the difference.

 

 

 

One of the great things about the Supreme Court’s opinion is that it was honest about the horrors of abortion. For instance this nurse’s description of the procedure was fully printed in the opinion.

“‘Dr. Haskell went in with forceps and grabbed the baby’s legs and pulled them down into the birth canal. Then he delivered the baby’s body and the arms—everything but the head. The doctor kept the head right inside the uterus. . . .“‘The baby’s little fingers were clasping and unclasping, and his little feet were kicking. Then the doctor stuck the scissors in the back of his head, and the baby’s arms jerked out, like a startle reaction, like a flinch, like a baby does when he thinks he is going to fall. “‘The doctor opened up the scissors, stuck a high-powered suction tube into the opening, and sucked the baby’s brains out. Now the baby went completely limp. . . . “‘He cut the umbilical cord and delivered the placenta. He threw the baby in a pan, along with the placenta and the instruments he had just used.’”

The following diagrams also help differentiate the procedures:

The Partial Birth Abortion Procedure (not allowed anymore):

 

 

 

 

 

 

	Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps.
	The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal.
	The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head.
	The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole...
	The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.

While the standard Dilation and Evacuation procedure (below) is still allowed.

 

 

 

 

 

It is good that it has been deemed constitutional to ban the killing of babies that have been delivered alive (except for the head). Unfortunately we still have the insanity of Roe v. Wade creating the fiction that it is unconstitutional to prohibit the killing of babies in so many other ways. At over 40,000,000 abortions we have surpassed the great mass murderers like Hitler (12,000,000), Russian Communists (30,000,000), Polpot (2,000,000), and Saddam (1,000,000). Only the death toll in Mao's communist government in China remains above our abortion numbers at 60,000,000.

 

There remains no justification for killing our young. The politicians, the college professors, the feminists, the media - give all kinds of reasons, they scream their reasons - but which one, which one reason really justifies the killing of our young? Abortion on demand as mandated by Roe v. Wade in America began a trek down a slippery slope that has no end in sight. "Slippery slope" is a term describing when a wrongful act is justified due to extenuating circumstances that seem sufficient to warrant the exception. Unfortunately if the act is truly wrong, it cannot be done to achieve "good". The slope is slippery because once you accept the initial proposition that good can come from evil, evil is embraced more and more for lesser and lesser goods. Abortion for the health of the mother, becomes abortion for rape or incest, becomes abortion for economic reasons, becomes abortion as birth control, becomes abortion to control the "fitness" of our children, becomes abortion to control the sex of our babies, becomes leaving babies in the trash can at prom, becomes killing elderly and terminal patients by starvation, becomes killing non-terminal vegetative patients by starvation, becomes killing live trauma patients so that their organs can be harvested in time, becomes using babies to experiment on (to "save" other more valuable lives), which becomes creating babies so that they can be killed and experimented on, which becomes....

 

"In times past, abortion took the life of one, for other-wise two would die. Today, abortion takes the life of one, where otherwise two would live." H. Ratner, M.D.

 

It's not too hard to project the future; these are just the things that have already come to pass. It is also properly analogized as the boiled frog syndrome, because a Frog will immediately jump out of boiling water if you throw him in - but will be boiled alive if you put him in luke warm water and turn on the burner. He won't notice the gradual temperature change until its too late.

 

The slippery slope is created by controlling information, by calling babies - "tissue", by coming up with procedure names such as "therapeutic abortion," making it sound almost like going to the spa. By making it about "choice," something we all like to have, ignoring the reality that no one can "choose" to do that which is morally wrong (killing) in other circumstances. By making it about women’s rights, which we all have to respect for fear of being sexist or politically incorrect, while ignoring the rights of the women who are aborted, and the enduring pain of the women who get the abortions. By naming an organization dedicated to the killing of babies - "planned parenthood" when it has nothing to do with planning or parenthood. By repeating over and over that Americans support abortion - when the reality is that there has never been a majority of people supporting abortion on demand. Depending on how the question is asked, a majority, at worst, supports abortion for the life/health of the mother, rape and incest. Abortions for these reasons accounts for less than 3% of all abortions.

 

The point is that you are not going to get the truth from the people supporting abortion, which is most of the people in the information business. Every day the only news we hear about IRAQ is the American death toll, creating a perception that the media is highly concerned about the # of Americans killed in action. But more babies are killed in the US every 2 days through abortion than US soldiers during the entire IRAQ war. You won't hear daily, weekly, or monthly updates of the abortion numbers. The statistics are there for anyone to find. We are left with the conclusion that the media doesn't want us in Iraq, but they do want us aborting babies.

 

WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY CREATED

A case like this Supreme Court Case may mean little in the actual number of abortions reduced. But it can be everything if it reverses the trek down the slippery slope. It can do that. If people agree that leaving a live baby's head inside the womb as it is killed, just so that it can be called abortion versus murder (which it would be if the head came out). Then they may wonder why pulling apart a live baby inside the womb is any better. The question is begged - did this become less of a human person because we left it in the womb when killing it? Technology gets in the way as we can now see what a baby in the womb looks like (in the womb at 5 months, below) -

 

 

 

 

- And it is hard to call it "tissue". We may wonder why we ever said it was OK to kill babies in the first place? We may really really want to end this holocaust. In the boiled frog analogy - it is like waking up frog and telling him that it’s getting really really hot and he might want to get out of the water. If the frog takes advantage he will use all his might to get out of the water. If the frog doesn’t comprehend fully - he will likely stay in the water a little longer, not believing that it will really ever reach a boiling point, not knowing that it already has.

 

Into my twenties, I sat on the fence on the abortion issue, I can recall thinking that the issue was just too close to call and therefore I was justified in taking no action one way or the other. I weighted the woman’s right to chose against an unidentified mass of cells that may be a burden to society, which was overpopulated anyway, and I didn't really object to abortion. Deep down I also possessed the same selfishness that really creates apathy in the case of abortion - I liked he idea, the concept, and the ability if necessary to be able to take care of "mistakes" that might be made. Deep down, I liked the idea that the welfare rolls were a little lighter because of abortion. Deep down I never told myself the truth, because I hadn’t ever really heard the truth.

 

I can say with absolute conviction that all the reasons I used, and all the reasons that are used - are nonsensical. The reality is we are killing the most innocent members of our society. We have accepted this for generations now. We throw up our hands. We move onto other issues.

 

I recently read a book; That Reminds Me of a Story... Reflections of a Pro-Life Warrior, by Robert Cetrulo. At a point in my reading this book, I understood at a new level of urgency the gravity of the abortion problem. I have been ardently pro-life for years, but the gravity of the evil of abortion had not sunk in. I think it was reading side by side comparisons of Nazi justifications to the killing of Jews and abortion justifications that got me. It could have been -

 

Only persons of German or related blood can be citizens: this does not include the Jews.

- Reich Citizenship Law, 1935

 

Compared to -

 

The word person as used in the Fourteenth Amendment does not include the unborn.

- US Supreme Court, Roe v. Wade 1973

 

Or it could have been -

 

It was nothing to do with Humanity - it was a mass. I rarely saw them as individuals.

- Franz Strangl, former commandant of Treblinka, 1971

 

Compared to -

 

What is aborted is a protoplasmic mass and not a real, live grown-up individual.

- Drs. Walter Char and John McDermott, 1972

 

Or it could have been -

 

Removal of the Jewish element.

-Hans Frank, 1943

 

Compared to -

 

Remove the products of conception

- Dr. Thomas Dillon, 1974

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or it could have been any of a thousand other truths made clear in this compelling book. abortionfacts.com or priestsforlife.org are other solid sources of information that most of us are blissfully ignorant of.

The new Supreme Court has opened the door for us to think about what we are doing. Will we learn that:

 

1. We cannot rely on the press to report the truth about abortion:

2. We must learn the truth ourselves because willful ignorance is insufficient:

3. We must begin talking about the truth, despite the consequences (people who are opposed to the truth get very angry when it is stated. Not having truth as a defense, they often use hatred :)

4. We must demand that abortion (all abortion) be prohibited by law:

5. We must recognize that there are no greater issues in America than this issue:

6. Our actions must demonstrate that there are no greater issues in America than this issue:

 

Ending the mass murder of our children?

 

America will either sink into an infinite morass of lies, death, and destruction, or God will pull us out before it’s too late. If you believe the first - then do nothing. But if you believe the second - then picture the world where truth and light have been restored and we are being compared to the Germans who acquiesced in the holocaust and the earlier American's who acquiesced in slavery.

 

And the future generations are looking back and asking, "How did they justify this?"

 

I believe God will pull us out. I believe American's will realize we are being fooled, being tricked, being slowly boiled out of our humanity. When a critical mass reaches that realization, I don't think we will be bullied into eternal submission by the purveyors of death anymore than our ancestors were willing to be bullied into submitting to taxation without representation.

 

We have already created a great nation. So great that for awhile, many of us believed we didn’t even need to be involved - it pretty much ran itself. Many have toiled for decades, trying to wake up Americans to the fact that America is not running itself well. That our morality and our humanity are being boiled off layer by layer by layer and that those who would tell us of the problem (the media) are the ones stoking the fire under the pot.

 

Well, the Supreme Court has presented some chunks of truth for us to digest. It is up to us – to all of us: Not just those who have tirelessly worked the trenches for so many years: But to those of us who have existed in the various degrees of apathy:

 

Its time for all Americans of good will to get involved again and to take back our humanity. Do something.

 

 

God bless.

 

Ps: In initial distributions of this letter, I received comments insinuating that most abortions don't involve “full grown babies" like the ones I have pictured. For those people I provide the following picture of an 8 week old aborted baby. If someone can argue why this baby is less deserving of life than a bigger one, have at it.
