Where Is Your Soul, Governor?

A woman holding up sign with a picture of a uterus said, “My body, my choice” despite something conspicuously absent: a baby. Add a baby to it and the “My body, my choice” is debunked by “The body inside your body is not your body.”

Wearing their “My body, my choice” t-shirts, smiley-faced females planted a placard in front of them saying, “Parasites don’t have rights,” Princeton Professor of Jurisprudence Robert P. George interjected, “Scholars of the history of genocides observe that people who want to kill other people invariably develop and deploy forms of rhetoric designed to dehumanize the victims. A well-known example is the Nazis referring to the Jews as “vermin.” In the debate over abortion, a similar rhetoric is deployed to dehumanize unborn children. Abortion advocates, such as those women with big smiles on their faces, label them ‘parasites.’ To justify killing them, they suggest that they are the moral equivalent of lice or leeches or tapeworms.”

Modern medical technology shows that life in the womb exceeds just a “clump of cells.” Science disproves the “clump” argument decisively. Given the bogus majority opinion in 1973, Roe v. Wade was just a clump of words.

Logical inconsistencies and self-refuting slogans on the pro-choice side are commonplace. In defacing a Catholic church, graffitti said, “Abortion saves lives,” which makes as much sense as the one saying, “Pro-choice is pro-life” (not if you’re the one chosen to be aborted). Another says, “Abortion is healthcare, ” to which Seth Dillon CEO of the Babylon Bee, says. “Abortion is healthcare the way that rape is lovemaking.”

Those livid over the likelihood of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade promise a “Season of Rage” and they’re proving it already. Vulgarity, gracelessness and incivility express their unconstrained wrath with signs and verbage, as coarse and grotesque as “Eat [expletive]” and “Fetus equals good snack.” With the recent rash of pro-life pregancy centers subjected to violent attacks, lawbreaking protests erupting in front of justices’ homes coupled with threats on their lives display the violence indicative of their movement to exterminate innocent children.

A headline from Planned Parenthood read: Abortion is sacred. The depraved priests of Molech offered offered the children of the deluded disciples on the “sacred” altar of sacrfice. Making the altar of convenience “sacred,” Planned Parenthood gets it done before the child is born, but with the same brutality as in the days of Molech. Opposing this ghoulishness, those defending the unborn say, “Life is sacred.” Abortion and life cannot co-exist together as sacred. It’s either one or the other. Choose life.

Seth, a young man I used to pastor in New Jersey, posted: “If you praise a woman who aborted her child because she did what was best for her, then I hope you praise men who abandon their children because they did what was best for themselves.” A person responded saying, “Not the same.” He replied, “I agree! The one leaves opportunity to reconcile and heal. The other offers no hope.”

Denying her Roman Catholic faith, Governor Kathy Hochul recently signed into law bills declaring open-season on the unborn child. True to her faith, Mother Teresa said, “We must not be surprised when we hear of murders, of killings, of wars, of hatred. If a mother can kill her own child, what is left but for us to kill each other?” Short on sound reasoning, Governor Hochul thinks she can short-cut the killing with more gun laws. Mother Teresa added one more thing, “A nation that kills its children in the womb has lost its soul.” Where is your soul, Governor?
