OUTRAGE! Part I

 

There may be several who read this article who will not like it. However, this writer isn’t known for writing things to please people. Truth is my guiding force and truth is not acceptable to many citizens in this republic made of the several individual states.

George Tiller, a notorious abortionist, was shot and killed on Sunday, May 31, 2009, while at the church of his choice. This was a violent act against a man who practiced violence upon the most defenseless humans in the world, unborn babies. But his act of death began years before in 1973, to be exact. Justice Harry Blackmun, of the United States Supreme Court, authored the infamous Roe v Wade decision that institutionalized abortion in the United States. Thus, the stage was set for the day when George Tiller would meet his demise.

When Roe v Wade was issued, there wasn’t much outrage about it. Since Blackman found the right in the Constitution, people assumed that the decision was correct. You can assume all you want, but the decision was a blatant violation of the Constitution in every respect, given that the Constitution respects the sanctity of life.  The Fifth Amendment gives criminals the right of due process before his or her life is taken for the commission of a crime worthy of death, yet the life of an unborn is terminated for no other reasons than the child will be inconvenient for the prospective mother and father or that the baby might not be perfect.

Society has become so jaded to abortion that the outrage begins when anyone says that abortion should be unlawful. They argue that it is a medical procedure. Call it what you will, it is murder of a defenseless human being.

A man in Indiana wrote on a blog that an unborn is only a fetus and isn’t fully human which makes abortion a non-issue in his mind. Those ideas are nothing but abject ignorance, stupidity or both. He never bothered to explain what part of the unborn wasn’t human.

Abortion has killed over 50 million future citizens that never had a chance to become born humans. A nation can’t survive by killing off its young and we are watching our nation die one human after another as the unborn are sacrificed to the great god of abortion. Game laws prevent the killing of the offspring until they reach maturity because to do so will deplete the species. Are we not depleting the future of the United States by practicing abortion?

The news is filled with grief and the outrage over Tiller’s death. Where are the grief and the outrage over the 50 million lives that have been killed by the evil practiced by men and women like Tiller?  Why does society express outrage over the death penalty given to a killer and ignore the death of the unborn at the hands of the George Tillers of the world?

At some point, the man who shot Tiller decided that he needed to rid the world of an evil man: a man who escaped prosecution when the evidence was overwhelming that he violated the law. Admittedly, it wasn’t his place to kill Tiller: but the end result is that Tiller won’t kill any more of the unborn.

Part of the outrage should be directed at the courts which have made all kinds of decisions that uphold abortion and to politicians who turn a blind eye to the carnage wrought against the unborn. The remainder of the outrage should be for a society that has turned away from the life God gives to all and instead has embraced a culture of death for the unborn (even the old and infirm) instead of criminals who deserve to die.  The United States Supreme Court, politicians and abortion supporters share the blame for Tiller’s death. In Sorting It Out, the outrage is misplaced and unfortunately, that which brought the death of George Tiller is the mind set of the nation.
