Terror and Abortion: This Torture Sickens

Individuals, families, and governments deal with complex issues that affect daily life and personal and national futures. Welfare continues to be one of the largest parts of the national budget and wars continue.
There are tangled and stubborn justice issues that intersect with social issues: What is a hate crime? What murder is a hate crime and what murder is a murder period? Who, if anyone, should have assault weapons? Why are gang numbers climbing? Those are a few of the crime questions.
And, some social issue questions cause frustrations, anger, and sorrows: Should Roe v. Wade be neutralized? Should parents be notified before a pregnant minor daughter has an abortion? When does life begin?
As a pro-life person, I argue: "If life does not begin at conception, then it follows as night follows day that conception is not necessary to begin life; so if conception, natural or in vitro, is not necessary to begin life, then how does life begin? Demonstrate that science, please."
There are military policy questions that include arguments for or against extreme interrogation measures, which some call torture, for captured terrorists holding secret, imminent plans for more terror acts. Is water boarding in 40 second periods torture? Is staying up for 72 hours torture? Is going without food for three days torture if the prisoner receives hydration?
The basic argument against extreme interrogation measures is "the dignity of life" and includes basic ideals and promises of America. Pro-choice, however, argues, and has so far the legal right to choose, to pay abortionists to kill unlimited numbers of unborn children in any excruciatingly painful and bloody manner devisable.
I've noticed that politicians favoring pro-choice never allow their statements on it to intersect with their statements against extreme interrogation techniques. Yet, the fact is that research over 20 years ago demonstrated that a human life, even at his or her earliest stages of development in the womb, feels pain and struggles to avoid it.
It does not take research, however, to know by simple deduction that it is unarguably torture for an abortionist to poke and prod and use curettes and burning saline to cut, burn, choke, and by other means kill innocent and defenseless human beings. The most sympathetic advanced-interrogation oponents do not blink over abortion. This is true despite the fact that abortionsts repeat their cruel acts in total over a million times every year.
Why are torture issues absent from debates about abortionists' legal rights to slash and burn until death overcomes a struggling, gasping little life? Where are the torture issues when talking about abortion law? Where are the pro-choice (abortion) issues when talking about torture? Where are the women witnesses, women who have had abortions, willing to testify about the terror they continue to experience years after choosing an abortion when they were not required to tell their parents, as minor children? Where are the women willing to tell how pro-choice propaganda painted pro-life people as unsympathetic and self-righteous toward female teens and others in crisis?
Spontaneous abortions are natural events; intentional abortion kills after inflicting immeasurable pain upon growing life. Where is the concern over the few infants that survive abortion, only to be denied medical attention? That, too, lies extremely beyond any other torture technique.
It is not easy to continue the descriptions, but one must: What about the torture of late-term abortion that is the equivalent of beheading and multiple amputations? That is what happens to small, soft, innocent, defenseless human beings, male and female, of every race and economic background, and unknown potential.
Pro abortion-rights politicians must be willing to find a modicum of courage to open their eyes to all the facts about the abortion issues they make speeches about. They admit their ability to face issues of torture in military circumstances, to see horrific photos and narratives, so we know they have the potential to pull themselves together and face the facts about intentional abortion.
Abortionists perform the most vile means of torture and it is intended to kill. The killing is bloody, hideous, and sickening.
When Congress, the President, and the courts think "torture," they should not only think "terrorists" and "terror," but also "abortionists" and "abortion." Not to do so is completely abhorrent.Such blatant hypocrisy must be admitted, brought out of the dark and into the light of facts and truth at every opportunity!
The President says on the topic of waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and other methods, "We need to hold to our ideals even when it is hard." (April 29 Press Conference - 100th Day in Office). The President and many other say on the topic of "advanced interrogation techniques" that they "undermine the fabric of this country."
If leaders and other powerful people consider depriving a terrorist of sleep is torture and submitting him to treatment used to train American military units, then can they not get it, that torture is too soft a word for what intentional abortion does? What else can be said to drive home to all hardened intellects that abortionists skillfully scrape and/or burn and cut the life out of innocent boys and girls in utero. Terrorists always survive the advanced methods under discussion. Human life in utero rarely ever survives, and when it does it can legally be abandoned, denied all pediatric medical attention. There is no chance offered to become a girl or boy, a woman or man with human rights inside or outside the womb for these little ones! How can anyone tolerate or continue this twisted reasoning?
The President is right: "We need to hold to our ideals even when it is hard." America needs to restore the rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" to humans growing in their mothers' wombs. America needs to shut down the money mills of abortionists and those who help them. Americans, we need to hold to the ideals of the value and dignity of unborn males and females when doing so is hard.
Public shame will one day be revealed as it even now hovers invisibly and eats at the life of any nation that continues heinous abortion, beyond torture. These acts intend the death of the defenseless, the innocent, and those unable to speak for themselves--every rejected unborn child handed over to the abortionist.

Top-level comments on this article: (2 total)Jane, this is one wonderful article and contains so much truth that it should bring shame and heartache to those who willfully murder those tiny people. I often wonder if those big brave doctors and mothers feel exuberance after their accomplishments as does a matator after he has prissed around in front of a bull and tortured him to death.It is enough to make one sick. And these people consider themselves the elite of our society! I have a much better definition for them but I guess that would classify as a hate crime wouldn't it?Dear Joel,
Your comments always encourage me. I thank God for this outlet for writing and seeking to honor Him. God bless you.

I have always wondered why those for abortion aren't called 'pro-death'. Calling it pro-choice lessens the impact, I guess, yet calling it anything other than murder is hypocrisy to the extreme. I also wondered why it is these same people who say 'we're better than that' when speaking of torture. Well, apparently we aren't, are we? To take any life is bad, yet to cloak it in a fancy name and call it a 'choice' is abhorrent.Well done.Dear Michael, God bless you abundantly as you speak out for life. Thank you so much for your comments. All glory to God. ~Jane
