False Freedom

Legalized abortion is a right protected by a false freedom.

Psychologically, women who commit abortions are wounded for life. They will succeed in removing “something” from their wombs that today they find bothersome, but will not remove the crime they commit from their minds and hearts. After having an abortion, women always find that they are plagued by deep-rooted guilt. Little sparks of their religious background, which they rejected, become stirred up. They hear their mother and father's voice. They imagine that God is watching their every move. Suddenly, they realize that it's not an empty universe at all, but a just and moral one, and that they’ve violated it. To choose to extinguish in cold blood a life given by God to another person, to reduce to dust and ashes the body of a human being made in His image and likeness, should make us shudder. And what about the victims? Has anybody been down to the graveyard to ask them how they feel about the “righteous” way they died? A killing is a killing and there is no tying a pink ribbon on it. It is time that we all get back to our religious roots before the planet itself becomes a barren wasteland! 2000 years ago a lone soldier with his metaphorical armor shining beneath the moon, galloped through the land. Where hooves thunder, the ground became alive with sprouts and tendrils, and bare trees started to bud, and grasses to blossom, the power of nature exploding into life. This soldier was able to rally the people to rediscover what is best in men. Today we need that soldier once more to inspire the masses to defend what was, and the dream of what could be once more.
