TO PROTEST THE OPENING OF A
PLANNED PARENTHOOD ABORTION CLINIC
IN MONROVIA, CALIFORNIA

The butchers of babies in the name of women’s rights are the knowing perpetrators of a fraud. They know that life begins at conception, since only those blind fools, who couldn’t pass high school biology, deny that life begins at conception. So, a blatant murderer is unaffected by accusations that he is a murderer, just as an immoral person is unaffected by the accusation that he has the morals of a barnyard animal.

I, therefore, question the benefit of appealing to the conscience of someone whose conscience is seared. I question the benefit of appealing to the affections of men and women who have been turned by God over to a reprobate mind, and thus do not have the natural affections that even brute beasts have for their young. I question the benefit of telling the God’s honest truth in an attempt to persuade those who are blinded by the god of this world into believing lies about such things as women’s rights instead of infant’s rights, and the beginning of life, and the value of a human soul, and a pagan’s willingness to butcher an innocent because the miracle of life has begun at an inconvenient time. So I will take another line of reasoning.

What would you do if a foreign power attacked our country with nuclear weapons? What would you do if a terrorist conspiracy infected our water supply with a deadly poison? Yet the same thing has happened with this virulent immorality called abortion.

Consider what your reaction would be if New York City was destroyed, and then Boston and Philadelphia; after that Miami and Washington DC, and then Chicago and Dallas and New Orleans and St. Louis and Houston and San Antonio and Denver and Seattle and San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Yet even more people than live in those cities have been the victims of the calculated genocide called abortion. Does that shock you? Does it horrify you? Probably not, but it ought to. We would declare war on an enemy who did this to us. Yet what is done when members of our own society do this? Nothing.

But the emptying of our cities of American children is not all. Consider the economic consequences of abortion in this country. As a result of forty million children never being born, the failure of Social Security is guaranteed. As a result of forty million children never being born the destruction of the American culture is assured. This country is being flooded with illegal aliens who are being sucked in by the same vacuum that sucks unborn children into the abortionist’s sink. These aliens will not want to pay for the care of old people so stupid they refused to bear the children who would take care of them in their old age. And I don’t blame them one bit.

That part of our culture which is white and which is black will be no more, as they systematically coat hanger themselves into cultural irrelevance, as the country is overwhelmed with people from other cultures with high birth rates. And do not jump up and accuse me of racism, since my own wife is Hispanic, and I applaud people having children…after they marry. I am making no value judgment in my assessment of the long term effects of abortion, but stating what any thinking person who is capable of connecting the cultural and sociological dots would also conclude.

In addition to holding before you a previously unrecognized consequence of abortion, a consequence that affects your own pocketbook, and which will affect your own health and welfare in your old age, let me cite the word of the One I serve, Who said in Matthew 18:6, “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones…it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depths of the sea.”

There is a judgment day coming. And I fear for the modern day counterparts of Margaret Sanger and Dr. Mengele and Joseph Goebbels, who may not have soiled your hands in the dirty work of killing unborn children for money, but who have been accomplices in this nasty and vulgar work. Laugh, scorn, ridicule, sit there with a smug look on your face if you will. But remember what Paul wrote in Romans 12:19, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Your day is now. God’s day is coming. And then what will you do?
