THIRTY YEARS OF BARBARISM
Barry M. Grider

| Of all the dastardly deeds promoted by those in and out of government
during my lifetime, none is more alarming and appalling than the 1973 Supreme
Court decision, Roe vs. Wade, which legalized the killing of unborn babies.
As America approaches the 30th shameful anniversary of the court's ruling,
January 22, millions of children have lost their lives in what should
be the safest place on earth, their mother's womb. While abortion is the
most barbaric assault on innocent human life that has ever been orchestrated,
how can so many Americans support the "right to choose" the taking of
these little ones. Are most of our fellow citizens that cold, callous,
and cruel? The answer is no. However, the anti-life forces have successfully
duped the American people into believing that babies in the womb are not
real people. Well, if not real people, what are they? Do not bother to
tell a loving mother or father that the child's heartbeat is not real or
what they see moving around on a sonogram is not really a baby.
It is very important for the anti-life forces to maintain
that a fetus is not a human being, for if Americans ever wake up and see
for real what is happening, this slaughter of little children will cease.
Likewise, when someone with a heart considers the vicious procedures used
by abortionists or looks upon the dead bodies of aborted babies (see article
on page 4) this practice will have to come to an end. Did you know that
an abortion can be performed not only in the third trimester of a pregnancy,
but, likewise, even as the child is in the birth canal. Prayerfully, this
procedure known as partial birth abortion, will be outlawed by the newly
elected Congress.
What is wrong with abortion? Simply, it is the taking of innocent
human life. Life that was given by God.

womb. I will praise thee for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous
are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not
hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the
lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect;
and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were
fashioned, when as yet there were none of them" (Psa. 139:13-16). |

God said to Jeremiah, "Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew
thee; and before thou camest forth from the womb I sanctified thee, and
I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations" (Jer. 1:5). Jesus said
of the children, "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which
believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about
his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea" (Mt. 18:6).
Again, the Lord says, "Therefore all things whatsoever you would that
men should do to you, do ye even so to them" (Mt. 7:12).
Dr. Bernard Nathanson ran one of the largest abortion clinics and
then suddenly stopped what he was doing. He said, "I am deeply troubled
by my own increasing certainty that I presided over 60,000 deaths." Thank
God for the courage of Dr. Nathanson.
Furthermore, abortion transgresses the golden rule (Mt. 7:12). Does
the insertion of forceps through the cervix to grasp a baby's body, and
remove the little one piece by piece sound like something you would desire
being done to you? Do you like the thought of being burned alive, which
is what happens when saline solution is inserted into the baby's amniotic
fluid? Pharaoh, Herod, and Hitler must take a back seat to those who perform
and permit abortions. Dear friends, supporting this insanity is unnatural
and goes against basic human instincts.
What can we do? Do not let a day go by that you do not pray for
abortion to end. Let your voice be heard in your community, at school and
on the job. Contact your representatives in Washington today and urge them
to ban partial birth abortions immediately. Vote for only pro-life candidates.
Urge mothers who are considering abortion to remember a baby is inside
the womb, and if there must be another option, choose adoption over abortion.
President Reagan wisely asked the nation to consider, "the real
question today is not when human life begins, but what is the value of human
life? ...the real question for (the baby) and for all of us is whether that
tiny human life has a God-given right to be protected by the law- the same
right we have."
We know the answer!
