On January 22, 1973 the Supreme Court of the United States sanctioned the woman’s right to choose to have an abortion. ”The alias “Jane Roe” was used for Norma McCorvey, on whose behalf the suit was originally filed, alleging that the abortion law in Texas violated her constitutional rights and the rights of other women.. The defendant was the district attorney of Dallas County, Texas, Henry B. Wade” (Women’s History). McCorvey filed suit against the state of Texas in order to get around Texas’ criminal abortion laws. The end result of that decision has led the excruciating slaughter of over a million and a half human beings every year since 1973. Today (Jan. 22, 2012) is the 39th anniversary of the Roe V Wade decision and it is fitting that we remember these innocents as we live throughout the next year.
American’s pride themselves on looking at the legacy they leave behind, and much of our legacy is good and honorable: Freedom from Tyranny, Freedom to live in safety, Freedom to worship God without fear of molestation, or even the freedom to not worship if one so sees fit. However, the true American Legacy is seen in the above photo: The slaughter of millions of innocent children whose only crime was that they were conceived. They did not ask to be conceived, but because their mothers didn’t want the responsibility of going through the pregnancy and caring for them, they have to die a horrible and excruciating death.
People will look at the picture of the aborted baby, and say that such shouldn’t be allowed to be shown. But I disagree! If we are going to continue to kill these poor innocent, helpless, babies, I am going to show just how it really looks. Abortion clinics (like Planned Parenthood) want everyone to think that all they are doing is removing pregnancy tissue. So what is the above picture of? Does that look like pregnancy tissue. It looks like a murdered baby to me. Have we become so desensitized that such a picture doesn’t hurt us?
On TV, just about every day, the Humane Society puts on their commercials about all the cats and dogs who are abused on a daily basis. They show pictures of animals who have been abused and they ask for people’s contribution to take care of these animals. While caring for the animals that we have on this planet is important, very few commericals are aired showing aborted babies. Nooo…that would be too harsh for little eyes to see. Of course they can see an abused animal, but not an abused baby. Where are our priorities? Do we care more about animals than we do humans? People will take out their check books and credit cards and give to the humane society, but they won’t send in a red cent to stop abortion.
Even religious people have become desensitized against abortion. Something that ought to bother every man, woman, boy or girl who claims to follow Christ to the point that they get fighting mad about it, just doesn’t seem to bother us anymore. We say, “O well, I won’t ever have an abortion, so it is not something that I need to get involved in.” One preacher, once, told me that he thought that I was wrong for trying to fight abortion because after all those babies would go to heaven and if they lived they might not. What kind of reasoning is that? Whether they go to heaven or not is not the issue. The issue is “Who gives us the authority to kill those innocent babies?” God doesn’t! O, yes, it was the United States Supreme Court; the same institution that once said that the black man was the property of his white owner. Now who today is going to say that the Supreme Court was right in that decision?
We need to get our priorities straight, because the one true authority (God) has not given us the right to do this. You know atheists complain because God had Saul utterly destroy the Amalekites and not even to let the infants live, yet those same atheists will uphold the woman’s right to have an abortion, and they will say “The Supreme Court has given her that right!” How inconsistent we are when we want to do something.
Abortion is a terrible blight upon our society. It has done nothing to uplift womanhood. All it has done is to tear down the fabric of both society and the home. Think how terrible it is when a man finds out that his wife has aborted their child, and he had no say so in the matter. She doesn’t go out and buy a car without his decision, she doesn’t buy a house without his decision. She doesn’t go in for surgery without getting his input, but she can go out and abort their child and he doesn’t even have to know that she was pregnant.
The safest place for a child should be in the care of the mother, but today it is the most dangerous place for over four thousand per day. Yes, America has a legacy; a legacy of brutality and murder. An American woman can get pregnant, go out the next morning, get an abortion and have lunch with her girl friends at noon. It is all in a day’s work! And we just sit back and say that it is not our business.
This is America’s Legacy!

It is a pity. No country should follow America on this issue. No nation or people has right to kill human either born or unborn. May the Lord have mercy on us even as we cease from doing so again. AMERICA the world is looking at you, you are the mirror, stop this evil.

Everytime I think about killing 4000 unborn babies per day, I shriek,! what about multitudes being killed where abortion is not legalized even in Nigeria. God have mercy. America should stop now so as to be an example as they have always been. At least this would put the hypocrites on their toes.
