The Unforeseen Results

The topic of abortion is never very far from the attention of the mass media. And the mass media in regards to abortion includes both liberal and conservative members, which is the way it should be in a democratic culture. Thanks to the total media coverage no stones remain unturned.

 

In 1973, when Roe v. Wade made abortion an acceptable part of American life, it is understandable that there would be unforeseen result sooner or later down the road. Well, recently, the mass media brought to the attention of Americans how abortion has changed America. That is unforeseen part. America has truly and noticeably changed and not for the better it must be stated.

 

The first unforeseen change was the collapse of the institution of marriage. The idea that marriage was a sacred institution began to disappear. Now divorces take places at the drop of a hat.

 

The great increase in out-of-wedlock births is the second big change in the American culture. The idea that children were part of a sacred institution called marriage began disappearing also. The philosophy that children can be born at anytime outside of marriage prevails. The sense of shame has disappeared.

 

In 1965, long before Roe v. Wade, less than 10 percent of American babies were born to unwed mothers. Black women had a higher percentage than white women-24 percent to 3.1 percent. As of 2013, the percentage was up to 41 percent of babies born to unwed mothers-73 percent to black women and 29 percent to white women. Sixty percent of America´s out-of-wedlock babies are born to women in their 20s. And what happens to a large percentage of out-of-wedlock babies? Yes, you guessed it. All of this is a very big change in American culture.

 

Since Roe v. Wade, we´ve gravitated to a new type of culture personal relationships. It is materialistic. It is the tendency to admire our own physical appearance, to admire our own abilities, to think an individual is greater than another individual. We´ve made life a product to be bought and sold. We´ve become commodities and use each other without thinking of how we affect each other as young life is destroyed through abortion, or how we destroy human life in other inhuman ways. The reverence for life has greatly diminished. So has the reverence for institutions that support life.

 

So many cultures throughout the world are in deplorable condition. America´s is one of the many that started with the Roe v. Wade court decision in 1973. Now Americans in their seventies or older are the only people who remember and can tell how orderly a decent the culture was then. Modern day Americans are very sad and disappointed at what is going on, and they also realize that it´s not going to get any better. They also fell that our Heavenly Father should keep His promise “to come again”. It is way past time.

America’s Blurred Abortion Lines, By Roger Behra

America’s Blurred Abortion Lines

 

By

 

Roger Behra

 

The topic of abortion is never far from the media or people’s conversation, and that is just what abortion-rights supporters hate. They want America to move on. But that is not going to happen.

 

On May 2, 2013, the trail of Dr. Kermit Gosnell ended and went to the jury for their deliberations. When they finished and reported to the judge: The result was a hung jury in spite of the clear evidence the Gosnell was clearly and simply a murder as alleged and proven in a court trail. According to the rules set down by the U. S. Supreme Court in 1973 he was guilty of murdering four viable babies and a 41-year-old abortion patient at his West Philadelphia clinic. The jury’s muddled thinking couldn’t figure it out. That was absolutely shocking.

 

When a fetus (new born baby) is out of the womb alive and well there must and not be any life-ending procedures performed unless there is a very sound, clear medical reason, otherwise it would be pure and simple---MURDER. That is why Gosnell has charged with the murders of four new born babies and the death of one mother a botched abortion. Gosnell snipped the throats of the four babies and caused the death of a mother having an abortion by over-drugging her. The key words in his case are: of the womb healthy births; alive and well; throats snipped with a scissors; and over-drugged death. The jury needs a good paddling and a good dose of common sense. Let’s hope that is the case since the judge told the jury the he wants a verdict from the trial.

 

Fetus development between conception and viability has markedly changed since 1973. The U. S. Supreme Court’s trimester system cannot be used and longer. It’s been proven that during the first three months early on after conception a fetus’s heart beating can be heard and that formed hands and feet can be seen. The real truth is all requirements of life to form are there at conception. It’s very simple: No conception equals no life and vice versa. That was/is God’s plan. Therefore, the willful ending of a fetus’s life at any time before or after birth without a sound and actual medical condition must be considered murder.

 

In the case of Dr. Kermit Gosnell there were no sound or actual medical conditions at any time. So he actually committed 4 murders of live babies; cruelly and intentionally. The evidence during the trail proved it’s a no-brainer. For the jury in the Gosnell trial to come up with a hung jury verdict indicates there thinking is blurred. That’s a no-brainer, also. Because technology has rapidly advanced, the public has become very uneasy about abortions.

 

The no-brainier solution is: Stop abortions; no more helpless and innocent babies murder; clear consciences. When people die their life review face-to-face with God will not have the stain of abortion, and they will be spared God’s awful penalty during their eternity. When tempted to have an abortion keep these words in mind: GOD (the creator); ETERNITY (means forever); LIFE REVIEW; GOD’S PENALTY. You will very likely decide: NO ABORTION. It would be a no-brainer, in deed.

The Realities of Abortion

 

By

A very large number of women who have an abortion do not think beyond the moment. They do not think beyond the desire to be free from the responsibility of an unwanted child. They fail to realize there are other realities to consider. And many times those realities come back to haunt them.

 

The first reality is that abortion is really murder and gravely immoral behavior. At the moment of conception a soul is born and has a destiny planned by God, and only God is in charge and can terminate that new life. So, every effort should be made to keep the developing new life alive.

 

John convinced his wife to have an abortion. She did but was not enthusiastic about it after it was over. She just kept quiet in her hospital bed. The father then began a conversation with the nurse. "What was it?" he asked her. "It was a boy," said the nurse without any expression. In an instant the father realized what he had done. He had buried his son. Purposely.  Indifferently. Irreversibly. Those realities of abortion can never be changed or forgotten.

 

God has a destiny planned for each human being at birth, and when an innocent and helpless baby is killed through abortion, so is the destiny God had planned. That is another sobering reality of an abortion.

 

Many women who have had an abortion live the middle and last years of their lives full of regret and remorse. They think of what could have been and realize their mistake.

 

Each state in the United States has their own laws regarding the issue of abortion. It is a conglomeration of uneven laws that tries to accommodate what is wrong as if it is right. The result as of April, 2013 is 55 MILLION babies lives and their destinies have been purposely ended. Along with the many other realities of abortion, the reality that 55 MILLION abortions have taken place in the United States is the very most shocking reality of the total abortion issue. And to top it all off, the lives of millions of mothers and fathers have been altered forever.

The Surprise Selection

 

By

 

Roger Behra

 

The 1.2 Billion Catholics around the world are now settling down from the surprise selection of their new pope: Pope Francis I. Millions of Catholics went gaga because he in an Argentine and not someone from a country in Europe, and they do now expect a different kind of papacy. Catholics hope and expect his leadership will spawn a Catholic resurgence. Yes, it's going to be more progressive but not in a manner many Catholics are hoping: There will be no change in the Church's stance on ABORTION and SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.  Those issues will not change one iota. That means not even a small change will take place. That's the way it should be.

 

Catholics need to know that certain stances the Church takes cannot ever be changed or diluted because the stances are dogma. Abortion and same-sex marriage are dogma. They are never going to be acceptable. They are always going to be considered intrinsically evil, sinful, and just plain wrong.

 

Life begins at conception and God has given the fetus a soul and has a plan for that life. If there is no sound medical reason, that life cannot be indiscriminately snuffed out through abortion, which is really-murder.

 

Marriage is a sacrament, holy, instituted by God, and meant to be between one man and one woman. So, the Church cannot change that either, and same-sex marriage can never be considered a marriage. It is out of the question.  Pope Francis will not, therefore, be making any changes to make abortion or same-sex marriage acceptable.

 

What Pope Francis is going to do is pay particular attention to the poor and the disenfranchised. That is a necessary and welcomed change. He has not yet mentioned how he is going to address that. The poor and disenfranchised who benefit from that dedication will greatly outnumber all the disgruntled Catholics who leave the Catholic Church because abortion and same-sex marriage will never be accept­able to him.

 

Millions of Catholics are wishing Pope Francis a successful, peaceful, and productive papacy as he reaches his goals. May his papacy be renowned in the history of the papacy.

The Detrimental Trio

By

Roger Behra

The trio of activities that have had the most dangerous effect on the world’s cultures and caused the most deaths are still happening; abortion, wars, and Communism. The Holocaust would be the fourth one, but it happened so long ago.

Abortion continues in America at a very steady pace. There is at least the great and unbelievable number of one million abortions in America each year since 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion.

Up to the present, 2012, in America alone there have been over thirty million abortions. On a recent news program on radio it is was mentioned that one abortion takes place in America every ten seconds. Abortion is the very most leading and dangerous activity when it is done illegally in back rooms and elsewhere throughout the world. In Mexico City abortions are now legal. How any court or other legal group can legalize abortions will never understood. Some abortions must take place for extreme medical reasons, but they are quite rare. The outright murder of an innocent, loveable, and helpless fetus during the act of birth is really a very terrible activity. Not only the fetus is aborted, the destiny that God had planned for that fetus was also aborted.

War is next in the line of man’s horrendous activities. Few people know that during World War 2 over 60-million people around the world in the targeted areas were killed along with the military that was engaged in the war. The instigators of the war were Germans and Japanese leaders: Adolph Hitler and Emperor Hirohito. It was the worst time in world history because of the deaths and destruction. Wars are definitely second on the detrimental trio list.

Communism is a most treacherous political system, and for the most part it is recognized as a great failure. It was a Russian invention that caused and untold number of deaths and great destruction in parts of the world. Unfortunately, before it failed in Russia, it spread to other parts of the world: Cuba, China, and North Korea were it still exists. Its Godless philosophy is harmful and restrictive, but it once was.

In regards to the Holocaust that took place during World War 2, that alone accounts for at least six-million Jews. A single nationality group was targeted for annihilation. It was the most intense and organized killing episode during the war. It was eventually exposed and the murderous culprits were duly executed.

It is a tremendous black mark on Germany’s legacy that will live forever. So many Jews enter the medical realm. It’s conceivable we would have a cure for cancer.

When God creates a human soul, He also plans a destiny. Because of the Holocaust six-million destinies were ended so tragically. The same happens during abortions and wars deaths. Humans are the most cherished of Gods creations. And the detrimental trio creates a complete irreversible situation in God’s sacred plans.

No Sings of Ending

By

Roger Behra

At the end of 2011 the results of 39 year of abortion in America alone was made know to Americans through the television and print media, and the news was so absolutely sad and discouraging. Along with the sad and discouraging news it was revealed that there is no end to abortions going to take place in America anytime soon. No amount of factual information that is revealed periodically seems to have any effect on the women and doctors who participate in the performance of abortions. It was revealed that now in the U. S. 1 abortion takes place every 3 seconds. So far more than 39, 000, 000 (39 million) abortions have taken place in America. That is very worst addition added to America´s legacy.

Recently on America TV also was and Hollywood Actress showing off her very new little baby girl. The coos and comments by all those around her were very much justified as they admired the beautiful, innocent, and helpless baby asleep in her mother´s arms. It was God´s work and creation on display for all admire.

As the viewers watched by the millions, the thought had to come to very many minds what abortion really does. Had the actress decided to abort, that beautiful innocent, and helpless baby´s life and destiny would have been terminated fast through the grievous and most sinful act of immediate murder.

When an innocent fetus (Latin for “baby human”), new born, or young child dies and enters eternity, the arms of Jesus are wide open to receive their pure spirits. There is no doubt. Many have seen the picture of Jesus surrounded by little children. They are the pride and joy of all his creations. They are the most loved by Jesus because of their innocence and pureness of spirit.
One day a woman was driving to an abortion clinic to have an abortion. At in intersection her car was hit broadside by a very expensive car driven by a very wealthy woman. The expectant mother survived, but her fetus did not.

As the case went to trail and ended, the wealthy woman was convicted of MANSLAUGHTER and had to pay a very large amount of money to the injured mother. The judge considered the fetus a living human being before it was killed. There we have the answer to the question: Is a fetus a real living human being? The trial judge gave us the legal answer: Yes, indeed it is!

All of us who regard abortion as most deplorable must utter the same words that Jesus did as He was being nailed to the cross: “Heavenly Father, forgive them (the woman and doctors who deliberately participate in abortion) for they know not what they do”, as they destroy a new life and destiny planned by God and severely harm their own eternal life in the process.

America´s Fateful Decision, By Roger Behra

America´s Fateful Decision

By

Roger Behra

As each year has come and gone for the past thirty-nine years, America has to be reminded of the most infamous date in America history. It is a date that can never be forgotten or relegated to obscurity. It´s a date that unleashed the most serious evil against human beings that continues to take place each and every day in America: legalized abortion. It was a most fateful decision.

The word fateful means “having an important, usually bad. Effect on future events” The fateful decision took place on January 22, 1973, when Supreme Court of the United States handed down the ruling the abortion is legal and can be performed upon request. And that has been going on in America.

The very accurate accountability is that one abortion takes place every three seconds which amounts to 1, 000, 000 (1 million) plus abortions each year in the United States. Multiply that by 39 years and you have a staggering total of at least 39, 000,000 (million) abortions alone in America. That, dear readers, boggles the mind.

The absolute worst thing someone can do is take the life of someone else. It is totally against God´s plan for the Creations. Taking someone´s life interrupts the destiny God planned for that life. To take life of an innocent, helpless and loveable new born baby is the worst of the worst behavior. It is absolutely inconceivable. Everything is silenced: alive; God´s plan, the baby destiny. How can anyone decide to and then have that done? It is the personification of all evil acts. It is true on rare occasions some abortions are absolutely necessary for medical reason. Those are the plan God has for those babies for reasons only God knows.

So many people simply wander through life not giving much or any thought to what happens to them when they die: that they are going to have a life review before God; that they are going to be accountable for ALL their thoughts, words, and deeds during their lifetime; that they are going to experience the pain and suffering they caused others; that there will be given a judgment to them accordingly. For the great love we need to have for our God and fellow human beings we all must think seriously about this an act in accordance, here, while we live from day to day, and while time is on our side.
