WHAT would Jesus do? This is the question I needed to ask myself before submitting this.
My hesitation was not at all due to the fact that the Labor Party women named in “Emily’s List” may feel thoroughly incensed and up in arms about their indulgent “rights”, or doubting my values, it was rather that it may cause further hurt for any women who have recently, or not so recently, experienced this very procedure of abortion.
Please be assured of my total, humble compassion, thoughts and prayers for your healing from all the hurt, which most of us need from time to time because we have all done things we are not proud of, and have also required healing.
Before attempting this I felt compelled to be better informed as to how abortion is actually performed.
There are a few websites available, and little did I know the horror awaiting me. I am now, sadly, informed!
This was no easy task, I really had to steel myself to have the courage to continue watching the images revealed, plus an eight to 10-minute video of a doctor describing the step-by-step mutilation of such a tiny little body and soul.
“Money for Murder” versus “No Money for Minority Groups”, “Carers” for one, plus many with serious health issues, some not recognised at Federal or State government level, and totally ignored by Medicare for whom the word “care” appears superfluous, and yet, in its “wisdom”, pays for abortion procedures.
Abortion is a choice, health issues are not.
Where is the social justice for the common good in that?
Whose rights deserve higher importance, women who are obsessive about “their rights for their bodies”, or those who suffer and do it tough because they are neglected by those in command who are able to help, but do not? Exactly like those who have the right to be born, but are not.
When it comes to Life or Death versus Rights (including accepting responsibility for those rights, which gets no mention at all by members of Emily’s List), the decision is wholeheartedly clear – we choose Life.
If women Labor politicians are completely informed on the act of abortion, I am left wondering in disbelief, “where is their compassion for those little mangled bodies – on the floor, in buckets? And if they can find none, “cold and unfeeling with hearts of stone” are the only “printable” words which immediately come to mind.
Loving Triune God, please soften them, and grant them full understanding of what they are promoting.
