Good News…Bad News!

The good news is that the tide is turning and many pro-abortionists are very concerned about numerous trends. Abortionists are retir-ing, dying and quitting. Young doctors are far less inclined to follow their footsteps. Abortion mills are closing and staffs are quitting. Planned Parenthood is being exposed for its obsession with money and disregard for wom-en's well-being and is facing a number of lawsuits that highlight these facts.

Moreover, our youth is far more scientifically aware; is increasingly pro-life and ready to witness on social media, amongst friends and family and at the nation's capital at the annual pro-life march. Ultra-sound machines show the child sucking his or her thumb and ren-ders the humanity of the child in the womb beyond any doubt. So, disingenuous terminol-ogy such as "choice" "women's reproductive rights" "blobs of tissue" etc. no longer de-ceives and distorts the real nature of abortion.

The bad news is that many who claim to be Christian have been silent for the past 44 years. Good intentions are great, but good intentions do not help the young mother des-tined for a life of deep regret and the death of an innocent and voiceless child. The holo-caust must end and we all must play our part.

BUENAS NOTICIAS… MALAS NOTICIAS! Las buena noticia es que su “épica victoria” se torno en su contra y muchos de estos pro-abortistas están muy preocupados por la numerosa tendencia. Abortistas están retirán-dose, muriendo y renunciando. Los nuevos doctores jóvenes están menos inclinados a seguir sus pasos. Centros de abortos están cerrando, así como el personal de trabajo renunciando. Planned Parenthood está sien-do expuesta debido a su obsesión con el dinero y su desprecio por el bienestar de la mujer, como también enfrentando numerosas demandas resaltando estos hechos. Y por otra parte, nuestra juventud esta mas científicamente consiente sobre la vida, incre-mentando cada vez más a ser PRO-VIDA y listo para presenciar a través de medios de comunicación, entre medio de amigos y familia, en la marcha anual PRO-VIDA que se lleva a cabo en la capital de la nación. Apara-tos de ultrasonido muestran bebes chupándo-se su dedo, no dejando duda alguna al mos-trar la humanidad de estos bebes dentro del vientre de su madre. Por lo tanto, términos engañosos y falsos como lo son “tu elección”, “derechos reproductivos de la mujer”, “mancha de tejido”, etc. Ya no engaña ni distorsiona la naturaleza real de un aborto. La mala noticia es, que quienes se proclaman ser “Cristianos” han estado en un absoluto silencio por los últimos 41 anos. Las buenas intenciones son grandiosas, pero con solo tener buenas intenciones no ayudamos a una joven madre destinada de por vida a un pro-fundo arrepentimiento y a la muerte de un inocente que no tiene ni siquiera voz. El holo-causto debe terminar y CADA UNO DE NO-SOTROS debemos hacer la parte que nos corresponde.
