The Real War


This past January my pastor distributed a sheet of paper that contained a graphic similar to the one below. It depicts a comparison of the numbers of people killed in each of America's wars. Each ! represents 25,000 deaths.

The Revolutionary War: (25,324) !

The Civil War: (498,332) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

World War I: (116,708) !!!!!

World War II: (407,316) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Korean War: (54,246) !!

Vietnam War: (58,655) !!

Global War On Terror: (7,500) .

War On The Unborn (In The United States): (46,500,000+) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By now there are probably several more exclamation points. Every one of those marks represent TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND deaths. Compare that to the mere "." representing the American dead in the Global War on Terror since 9/11/01. People are protesting in Washington over a very successful war with relatively few casualties, but not since the 80s have we seen any widespread protests of the ongoing murder of MILLIONS of AMERICANS.

Abortion is a greater scourge to this nation that slavery ever was. It is a greater dishonor than any of our broken treaties with the Native American nations. In 34 years we have decimated a generation. In 34 years we have all but assured the bankruptcy of Social Security with abortion on demand.

Abortion is not a right. Abortion is murder. Don't call it freedom of choice. That isn't what it is. Freedom of choice is deciding that if you don't want to have a baby that you don't engage in sexual intercourse. That is freedom of choice.

I get really tired of everyone pointing to the church and identifying its hypocrites. Sure, we have them, but so do you. Planned Parenthood is one of the biggest.

Alan Sears recently wrote an article that outlined some of Planned Parenthood's obvious hypocracies:

Planned Parenthood’s Recent Hypocrisy
By Alan Sears
Saturday, September 8, 2007


Planned Parenthood and its cheerleaders have long claimed they want abortion to be “safe, legal, and rare.”

Let’s examine the recent evidence. Do they promote things that make abortion “safe, legal, and rare” or do they actually support dangerous practices, ignore legal restrictions, and make decisions likely to increase the rate of abortion?...

This summer the Missouri Legislature – an entity charged with acting in the interest of its citizens – passed Senate Bill 370 to protect women’s health and safety. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Matt Blunt.

You’d think Planned Parenthood – which says it wants abortion to be “safe” for women – would applaud the new law. Its provisions require abortion clinics to be held to the same kinds of standards for cleanliness and safety required of other surgical facilities, so that a woman suffering the gruesome misery of an abortion at least has the same standard of care as she would for a tonsillectomy. The legislature after hearing a LOT of testimony understood that abortion of any kind, but especially one in the latter stages of pregnancy, can be an intrusive, even dangerous “procedure”—one that by its very nature has risks associated with it (not to mention what’s intended for the unborn child). And Planned Parenthood knows that the surprise complications of even the most “simple” abortions can quickly endanger the health, even the life, of the mother.

But rather than applauding and supporting this effort to increase health protection for their clients, Planned Parenthood asked a federal judge to strike down the law--to overturn the health and safety requirements--apparently because more safety means lower profits for abortionists.

Planned Parenthood also asserts that since some of their clinics mostly issue the abortion-performing drug mifepristone, they don’t need to follow the law either. In making this argument, they ignore FDA evidence that such chemical abortions may require surgical intervention – sometimes on an emergency basis – and for one out of every 12 women in clinical trials. A 2005 report showed 607 “adverse events” related to the abortion drug over a four-year period, including 237 cases of hemorrhage, 68 which required transfusions, and 42 characterized as life-threatening.

Planned Parenthood complains that enhanced health and safety would require some clinics to close while being retrofitted to standard. (Can you imagine a restaurant chain refusing to take time out from serving food to correct flagrant health code violations? Or a manufacturer refusing to retrofit its plants to install mandated equipment in their automobiles because doing so is too expensive?) And while bemoaning its potential loss in profits, Planned Parenthood is silent about its national gross income of nearly $900 million during 2005-2006, which yielded a tidy $63 million profit. They also fail to mention the $3.9 billion in taxpayer money they have received since 1987. Their spokesperson estimated that upgrading a heavily used surgical abortion clinic in Columbia, Missouri, to the 2007 standards would only cost $600,000.


You hypocrites! You murderous, lying, greedy, evil sons of the devil! You claim that these children are unwanted when THOUSANDS of Americans have to go to China to adopt children every year. Don't talk to me about paying for your social security. You destroyed it with your own hands. You tell teenagers that they can't possibly be expected to curb their sexual urges. You tell them that they should use a condom to protect themselves - to have "safe" sex. Yet the very condoms you give away are among the very worst on the market! What are you trying to do? Drum up some more business? On top of that you manage to forget to mention that even used 100% correctly 100% of the time condoms are only 90% effective at preventing pregnancy. Sperm are bigger than viruses. How effective and "safe" are those condoms at preventing herpes and HIV?

There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
- Proverbs 6:16-19


Well, 6 out of 7 ain't bad.
