Abortion–Not true Feminism.

I hope I’m a good thinker.  My hope is to see Roe v. Wade as its subject–Norma McKorvey- (Sadly Norma has passed away.) who was Jane Roe watch the abortion problem die.  After all that is why she protested it along with others and getting jailed for it.  She admitted to the lie Roe v. Wade is built on. It is not what it seems because ask yourself why would this women try to change this heinous law she was instrumental in? Even if you have a religious or no  religious affiliation you can reason this subject out. Ask yourselves why the true Suffragettes didn’t sanction abortion?  They didn’t because they knew it was against the dignity of women.  They knew it didn’t give them any gains–men still got what they wanted when women abort and aborted.

In terms of simplicity I’m going to make this column short and sweet.  Abortion, hmm, think about it, how does it serve women?  Men still won they still allow women to abort the child they both created.  Men wrote the decision at the Supreme Court allowing it to continue.  It never changed for women you still are giving into a decision you may not want.  Where is the empowerment in this? You still suffer when you get an abortion.  You can suffer Post Traumatic Syndrome, drug addition, regret for an abortion and your self-respect in the end.  If you go over and do your homework you can find out more information at Priests for Life and Rachael’s Vineyard.

It is a form of slavery.   This child in the womb is just considered a “thing” and not a human being in the womb.  This is the same meaning in the time of slavery.  Your child doesn’t have to be born and that child never decided for itself.  It never got the chance to live. Their rights have been taken away by those in authority who deem it not a pre-born child.  The fact of the matter is its getting down to the finish line.  The finish line is birth and the child can be killed even after birth.  So we now have a new slave master—the Supreme Court, Congress and public opinion in the polls.

Science is finding through improved technology that life does begin at the time of conception.  One example is the new sonogram technology.  It is showing each and every one of us  a human baby in the womb.  A moving life.  We didn’t reason this out in 1973.  Many thought it was a toaster or a blob of cellular material. We all just went ahead and said its just tissue and blob.  Well were finding out that this is our “neighbor” in the womb.  Were wondering now who we claimed in the 50,000,000 + aborted babies daily, hourly and in the minute. Could it be another Einstein or another great person.  Even a child who was born with Downs Syndrome is a joy to the world. If we would only let it be. Support those who can give birth no matter what.

We have to ask ourselves philosophically have we killed those we needed the most in society?  Even the least we have housed in jails. Everyone can make a difference and a purpose towards society and serve a great potential within each of us for a better or greater good.

It’s not true feminism.  Women havent been freed.  When you go for an abortion most women who have experienced this have said—-“I had no choice.”  “I had to do it.”  Where is the choice or freedom in this?  Who chose this for me? Society chose this for you and gave you the right to terminate—kill your unborn child.

What kind of choice or true feminism is this.  How is this liberating.  Liberation means you are free to choose the  way it aught to be in society.  Men don’t always give you a choice to let this child be born or accept this child as a real human being to live. Women don’t let men choose to let the child be born either.

Men, women and family members say get rid of the child.  The child will ruin your life.  Its a bad time.  Again, what choice is this?  You only got one choice my friend and no support is what you hear.  So there is not real choice in this decision.  No real support sometimes from family, friends and male companions. Choice to me is the freedom to do the right thing for the natural law.

True feminism is the right to be female.   To be a real woman and to make well-informed decisions.  Well informed decision with a real male partner who is mature enough to know true right from wrong.  A well formed conscience in each and everyone of us. To have a life partner we chose who is in line with our ideals. If no life partner at least a place to go if you decide to have your baby in freedom of choice. To make a well informed choice and life for that baby.  Whether you keep the child or give it to parents who can nurture said person.

I’m not saying we don’t make mistakes and this is a perfect world but its time to reconsider this so-called vision called abortion.

We need true feminism as John Paul II and former Popes have spoken of on the dignity and beauty of women.  Its time women took back true feminism and motherhood.  You have the right to choose motherhood anytime in your life.

There are people who will help you.  You have a right to the real feminism not the non-sense spewed at all of us since the 1960’s and 1970’s.

We need to allow women the right to choose.  Ladies don’t sell yourselves short.  You have choices and you can make them responsibly even if you have made mistakes.  After all life is for making right decisions and correcting and forgiving ourselves for the wrong one’s we make.

Steven Tyler and Julia Holcomb Story

This is one of the most beautiful Pro-Life stories I have ever encountered.  Im sure that there are a lot more out there equally so.  The respect for life is becoming a hot button issue among Americans today.  It is necessary and one that needs to be pondered in a deeper way.

Norma McKorvey and others like her who have come into the Right to Life Movement also must be studied.  After all Norma is Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade fame.  She has been an activist for sometime and a communicant of the Roman Catholic Church.  She has protested this unfair law and unfair practice to human life.   She like many others who have walked into the “shadow of death” are now coming on board to the sanctity of life.

We invite every American to  a change of heart and mind in all honesty on this subject.  So please read Julia Holcomb’s story and also keep an open mind to real life.

Julia Holcomb thanks for your witness, testimony and story.  Thanks for coming home.  Thank you for helping others.

See Julia’s story as she tells it in her own words:

If you get the chance please educate yourself about the Culture of Life which we are trying to preserve in these difficult times.

Invitation to Jesus Christ

Today is my day off.  I just get on the web and surf and I search out information.  Today I found Father Gabriel Amorth.  He is Chief Exorcist of Rome.  Do I believe in demons and have I seen one?  First answer to the question is yes I believe that evil exists and that God created these beings.  Second I have not seen one but it doesn’t mean I can’t believe they are real.  If Jesus Christ said so and I believe in my whole heart He is real that is good enough for me. 

When I was a child and old enough to walk to church I would ask my friends to go.  I was always one of the first to ask them to go to church and to confession.  I never forgot the pull toward Jesus Christ even when I wandered from Him after 13 years of age.  Unfortunately I would put Him away and take Him out when it was convenient.  He has never considered me convenient it would become time to make sure this was never so.

I just plain drifted away for a while but I never forgot Him.   I was poorly Catechised like so many of my brothers and sisters of Christ.  It took me many years to learn about Him now that Im in my late 40’s. I have come back to Him and to hopefully serve Him well even as an imperfect human being.  My biggest fear is my failure but even then I know that He accepts me in this human frailty.  He forgives me when when I fall and he picks me back up.  I have far to go and a hope that I always walk with Him and next to Him.

You see it took a tragedy in my life to bring me back to God. In my selfishness I found His wisdom eventually and saw what He means to us.  He helped me see in my selfishness that we belong to Him no matter what.  In our deepest tragedy and even when we want to hate God we still belong to Him.  In my hatred because I thought He took my sister from this world in tragic death I finally saw what it truly means to be a Christian.  In this severity I found out that it truly is Him who has the last say in our lives.  I accept this.  I am glad He helped me see the error in my thinking and to know that His teaching is real.  To surrender our wills to His.

Well now I digress but it worth it.  I found some interesting topics like exorcism.  I stated in the beginning about Fr. Gabriel Amorth and his work against evil.  Well I’m with Father on this.  There is evil in the world and it surrounds us in life and we have to trust in Jesus Christ because as Peter the Fisherman said, “I believe Him because He said so”.  Brothers and sisters this last simple statement isnt much in the way of biblical teaching but its good enough for me.  Hell is real and I cant prove it but like I said I take Jesus Christ and His word for this one. 

This is His invitation through me to all of you out there who have fallen away from Christianity or who are non-Christians.   The invitation to pick up a good and simple authoritative work on the Life of Christ.  An invitation to at least find out who He was even if you don’t follow Him in your spiritual life or journey.  At chance to my brothers and sisters who have fallen away to come back and see Him again.  Give it go I did for a second time.  His word is Eternal and it has much to say to us.  Pick up a bible and check Him out with new eyes.

His word is Eternal and it has much to say to us.  Even if you have no belief or a belief the story is one of the greatest ever told.  Pick up a bible and check Him out with new eyes or old eyes.

Pray for me as I will pray for all of you.

Come seek out who Jesus Christ was and is.  Its an invitation and a pleasant journey to seek out and know Jesus christ for anyone from any walk of life.

Life is grand with God.

God Bless.
