Killing people, or fetuses, is like
jumping into cactus

By Robert Fischer

The rough and tumble actor Steve McQueen had a line in one of his movies where he said, “A man took off all his clothes and jumped into a bunch of cactus.” When asked why, he replied, “It seemed like a good idea at the time.”
At lot of ideas seem to be the right thing to do at the time they’re proposed. Maryland once had a law stating that non-Christians should be sentenced to death. Another mistake may have been borrowing money to finance two wars and bail out the irresponsible bankers who, in their greed, damaged the economy.
Obama has done something only George W. Bush could do: double the national debt of our country. We’re gonna pay dearly for this. Where is Ross Perot now? He ran for president in 1992 on the single issue of government indebtedness. Too old to run for president now, his voice needs to be heard still. Good ideas at the time tend to be bad ideas in the future.
Killing millions of people seemed to be a good idea in the minds of Hitler, Stalin, and a lot of other despots in history. Sick serial killers have had similar ideas. Look up Edmund Kemper on Google. He was the worst of the worst. He is still in the Vacaville Prison. Go try and visit him (if they let you) if you want to sit face to face with a monster that makes Jeffry Dahmer look like a saint.
After the genocide of the Nazis, the German people have had a hard time living with their consciences and living down the fact that they supported and even loved Hitler and gave him a mandate to carry out his evil intentions. Of course, at the time they supported him, they didn’t know he was evil. He’d ended unemployment and made the people he governed believe in themselves again. He seemed like a good guy at the time.
I wonder what position this country is in to suggest how other places should conduct themselves after it has been responsible for the killing of 55 million of its own people. That’s the number that has been legally aborted since the Supreme Court made it possible in 1973. A third of the generation since then has been wiped out, all in the name of the right to privacy, something that is not in the Constitution.
Martin Luther King said that everything Hitler did was legal, and that where injustice exists, it is a threat to all justice. His own niece, Alvera King, is a Right to Life supporter and thinks that would have been part of his legacy, had he not been gunned down in 1968.
The arguments against abortion are compelling. I can’t mention them all here because I’d be going over my allotted space.
If one believes that human life is worth protecting, then one should not be in favor of doing away with it. Those who advocate mass killing often justify their actions by defining their victims as not human at all. If something is just a blob of cells, maybe it’s all right to justify getting rid of it. The truth is that in a manner of speaking, we’re all blobs of cells representing a few dollars worth of chemicals. Are people to be valued less because they are defenseless, handicapped or just in some way considered useless or nonproductive? Are people of that sort just weeds to be pulled out of a garden? That’s what the science of eugenics was initially concerned about, which the Nazis embraced and which was also the viewpoint of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood.
Abortion has been considered a women’s issue and opposition to it has been blamed on men who wish to interfere with their rights. If there is no Right to Life, all other rights are immaterial. Half the aborted humans who have perished have been female. In some countries where males have been favored over females, gendercide is taking place. Isn’t that a lot worse than female genital mutilation? Women who have had abortions are six times as likely to commit suicide. How can that be something that protects the life of the mother?
One justification for abortion is that no unwanted children should be born. The fact is that there are people willing to adopt these children that are being aborted. Child abuse has increased dramatically since abortion has been legalized. Overpopulation in this country cannot be counteracted since there are more than enough immigrants willing to take the place of those who have not been allowed to be born. We still have to make room for people. We’re to blame if demographics changes and people arrive from countries that do not condone abortion practices.
Is has been said that silence is tantamount to approval. The many and increasing numbers of women who are joining the Right to Life movement have been saying “Silent no more.”
