Unfortunately, it wasn't in an uproar over the premeditated murder of preborn children, it was in a tizzy over the fact that someone would dare bring the grizzly truth out into the open. Rusty covers some strong theological ground. Enjoy! Pamphlets at Your School Rebuttal Apparently, our outreach at University and Waco High School reached its desired effect. So much so, that Opinion Page Editor, John Young, felt it was his pro-abort duty to explain the wonders and benefits of abortion to a generation that has suffered the loss of one third of its peers by this grisly practice. Mr. Young reached back to pull off the dusty shelf all the worn out pro-abort talking points, arguments, and justifications that attempt to defend the indefensible. In typical liberal fashion, he takes the worst case scenarios that are extremely rare to justify the wholesale slaughter of innocent children made in the image of God. First, Mr. Young deals with the “medical necessity” argument. Historically, even when abortion was banned, there was an allowance in the law for abortion, if the birth of the child legitimately threatened the life of the mother. It was an excruciating decision for the mother and father to make and many mothers of that time chose to lay down their lives to grant life to their children. Besides, with the advancement of technology and science the dilemma of having to decide who lives and dies between mother and child is in all actuality a moot point. Secondly, Mr. Young played the old trusty rape and incest card. According to his logic, the innocent child pays for the crime of the father. Is it justice or does it bring healing to put to death someone not responsible for a crime? How would you like it, Mr. Young, if I raped a woman, and you received the death penalty for my criminal actions? Would that alleviate the violation and suffering of the woman? Besides, I have personally dealt with women who have suffered the horrors of both violations: rape and then aborted the child conceived. Most of them suffer more trauma over the abortion than the rape. Simply because, they know deep down in their hearts that they ended up committing a violent act to another in order to somehow compensate for the violent act done to them. One cannot free a victim by victimizing others. You cannot become what you are seeking to end. Thirdly, Mr. Young addresses when options are not available. His concern is centered on the state forcing women to gestate if abortion was made illegal again. According to Mr. Young, the civil government has no business whatsoever to intervene to protect the most defenseless, vulnerable, and innocent American citizens amongst us. Thomas Jefferson, our third President, has a contention with that premise. He stated, “The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.” The very purpose civil government exists is to protect life and stop the shedding of innocent blood. Abortion violates civil government’s sacred trust. Abortion violates the organic law articulated in the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” According to Mr. Young, the one area our civil government should be involved in, their duty is no longer required. Thus men and women are “free” to kill their children to remove the evidence of their fornications and adulteries. Fourthly, the most preposterous statement made by Mr. Young is that Planned Parenthood is the “most anti-abortion organization in the land.” The truth is, Planned Parenthood is the nation’s leading provider and promoter of abortion. They make millions of dollars annually exploiting the fears of women in crisis pregnancies. It is in the best interest of any business to expand their client base and bring in more customers. If you’re in the bloody business of abortion and you make millions of dollars performing the brutal act, does it make sense for them to diminish the need for their “services?” They must have our nation’s young people sexually active in order to justify peddling birth control which inevitably leads to abortion. Planned Parenthood is a wolf in sheep’s clothing that is devouring little baby boys and girls in the wombs of their mothers in the name of love, compassion, and reproductive health care. How long will America be deceived by this angel of light? Finally, a word to our young people. Mr. Young presents the idea that you weren’t around in the days before abortion was legal. As a result, you aren’t aware of what is at stake if abortion was made illegal again. My heartfelt response is, young people, you have been brought up in a culture of death and you do not know what it is like being raised in a culture of life. You do not know a time in America when life was considered sacred and of immense value. Abortion has ripped this precious view of life from the heart of our nation and your generation has borne the brunt of our bloody, deceitful, and idolatrous ways. Planned Parenthood and its defenders are the architects of death that targeted your generation for destruction. One third of you are gone. All the arguments that Mr. Young presented are designed to continue this reign of terror. Each and everyone of could have been legally killed and thrown away like a piece of trash according to the “law” of the land, Planned Parenthood, and the arguments of John Young. You have survived and it is your destiny to bring down this evil system of abortion and liberate unborn babies from the cruel oppressors.
