ABORTION
AND TORTURE
(Policy
of Killing the Unborn and Cuddling the Terrorist.)
Donald
R. Fox
President
Obama supports a woman’s right to abortion. He has no problems
with abortion. He supports Roe vs. Wade. With that said, our
government is having all sorts of conscience problems with the
gaining of information from terrorists with waterboarding and the
like. Our liberal leaders say that such like things are torture and
to use such is against
our values.
Our
values, what in the world does that mean? It’s
all right to kill the unborn; that we all know is a human being. The
bloodthirsty terrorist would in a flash behead folks. However, it’s
wrong to seek information via waterboarding from a terrorist.
“Terrorists,
we’re told by pro-abortion liberals suffer excruciating pain while
the ejected unborn and euthanized elderly feel nothing. And even if
the latter do suffer pain, say these liberals, that pain is worth it.
After all, abortion and euthanasia sustain a pleasant and peaceful
lifestyle for the strong.” (Reference: Obama’s Torture Policy for
the Unborn, by George Neumayr, dated 23 April 2009).
Concerning
President Obama: He opposed legislation protecting born-alive failed
abortions when he was an Illinois Senator.
“Obama
has consistently refused to support legislation that would define an
infant who survives a late-term induced-labor abortion as a human
being with the right to live. He insists that no restriction must
ever be placed on the right of a mother to decide to abort her child.
On
March 30, 2001, Obama was the only Illinois senator who rose to speak
against a bill that would have protected babies who survived late
term labor-induced abortion. Obama rose to object that if the bill
passed, and a nine-month-old fetus survived a late-term labor-induced
abortion was deemed to be a person who had a right to live, then the
law would "forbid abortions to take place." Obama further
explained the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
does not allow somebody to kill a child, so if the law deemed a child
who survived a late-term labor-induced abortion had a right to live,
"then this would be an anti-abortion statute."

NOTE: Our President is our national leader, and therefore, his
moral/ethical value system plays a great role on how we Americans are
perceived.
Lets
summarize:
(1) Killing the unborn via abortion is legal. Therefore, it is not
torture. (2) Abortion is not a conscience problem, and it is within
our value system. (3) For some lawmakers, concerning partial-birth
abortion: our conscience should not be bothered by this procedure and
should be a legalized way to kill the unborn. No value problem here!
(4) However, in order to obtain information from an enemy that
desires to kill us, the use of waterboarding or the like is torture.
(5) Waterboarding and the like is torture and against our value
system.
We
wonder now what value system we are talking about?
If
we remember history of the Nazis, they had a similar value system.
Note: September
10, 1935: The Nuremberg Laws, the third law in part, “to
clarify the position of Jews in the Reich."
This law led to the “final
solution,"
the extermination of Jews, the
killing of the innocent people.
THE
WORD OF GOD CONDEMNS INFANTICIDE:
We remember that
our God condemns such inhuman and unnatural behavior
(See Exodus 21: 22-23;
Jeremiah 7:31; 32:35).
EARLY
CHURCH FATHERS CONDEMNED ABORTION:
I would like to share with you some writings of the early church
fathers. One of the greatest evils of heathens was infanticide and
abortion.
“You
shall not use potions. You shall not procure [an] abortion, nor
destroy a newborn child" (Didache
2:1–2
[A.D. 70]).
“In
our case, a murder being once for all forbidden, we may not destroy
even the fetus in the womb, while as yet the human being derives
blood from the other parts of the body for its sustenance. To hinder
a birth is merely a speedier man-killing; nor does it matter whether
you take away a life that is born, or destroy one that is coming to
birth. That is
a man which is going
to be
one; you have the fruit already in its seed" (Tertullian,
Apology
9:8
[A.D. 197]).
"There
are some [pagan] women who, by drinking medical preparations,
extinguish the source of the future man in their very bowels and thus
commit a parricide before they bring forth. And these things
assuredly come down from the teaching of your [false] gods. . . . To
us [Christians] it is not lawful either to see or hear of homicide"
(Octavius
30
[A.D. 226]).
“Thou
shall not slay thy child by causing abortion, nor kill that which is
begotten. . . . [I]f it be slain, [it] shall be avenged, as being
unjustly destroyed" (Apostolic
Constitutions 7:3
[A.D. 400]).
Proverbs:
14:12: “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man; but the end
thereof are the ways of death.”
Proverbs
14:34: “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to
any people.”
