As always, blogs are primarily repositories of opinion, and so let me preface what I am about to relate by stating that this is purely my most heartfelt opinion. If you are too sensitive to face reading an opinion that is dramatically opposed to abortion, then I suggest you go read something else, for you will not like what follows here, you might even find that my opinion is shocking. I will begin by making a simple observation. The most innocent, the most untouched by the demands the joys the wonders and the sorrows of human society, the purest moments of existence for a human are those precious moments before, during, and then after birth when a child takes his or her first few breaths. Like a falling snowflake pure and unique, it begins a journey that will eventually change it, merge it into a greater conglomerate of snowflakes till the child may seem to disappear in the masses of society. And yet, like that snowflake, it adds a little something to the overall depth and strength and volume of our world. Of course a child is far more complex, has far more potential and life than a mere snowflake. To see and hear a child newly born, crying out, reaching out to the world around it as that child takes it's first tentative grasp of a new experience outside of the womb is a moving experience for anyone with a human heart. Along with the divine spark of life that was passed to that child from the parents, within that child rests a potential for achievements as yet untapped. With caring and guidance and love, that child will have a chance to learn and dream and reach for highest potential of the human spirit. How then, any loving person can make a deliberate choice to kill... to wipe out, destroy in horrific fashion that purest, most innocent of human life before it has the chance to even take those first few precious breaths, to reach out into the world with those small hands, to have a chance to bear witness to creation, that innocent life depending on its mother for protection, a mother who commits either of her own will or under the heavy handed influence of others to that most wretched and vile act of savage and brutal betrayal, is beyong my reckoning for it seems to be an act completely without human comapssion. Which brings me to the point of my soliloquy. Recently the news media has been telling us of the murder of Doctor George Tiller, a commited abortionist who had no qualms about ripping innocent helpless life to shreds thousand times. He has openly declared it, seeming to be pround of the fact, that he has done this thousands of times. No infamous serial killer has been as prolific or heartless as this dreadful man. The difference is that the law, sadly, protected this murderous villian in most of the cases. What of the family Dr. Tiller leaves behind? You may think me cruel to offer my opinion in such a fashion at a time when they most likely are greiving the loss, but in my opinion there is in fact no time in which the truth of the matter should be hidden, avoided, swept under the rug, or aborted. I feel sad for his family, those who loved him and who feel the pain of losing a loved one. I hope that as they pray for his soul, they will also take a moment to pray for the hepless and innocent souls who as a doctor, a profession people look to for healing, he betrayed and crassly ripped from this world and suffed out. Just so there is no misunderstanding, murder is wrong, always. Whether it takes the form of building a gruesome mountain of abortions, or if it takes the form of murdering the murderer. Tiller will face his ultimate judgement before God. I will conclude with this thought, there is no case, no time, no circumstance when a fetus, a human life, a baby in the womb should ever be deliberately aborted. Not even at the cost of the mother's life. Again, my blog... my opinion. If you disagree you are welcome to respond.
