LIFE and Liberty in the Coffee Shop

Medical board revokes license of Fla. doctor after live baby delivered during botched abortion
I was witnessing to an older agnostic man at a coffee shop recently who asked, "Why is it that so many of you Christians are pro-lifers, obsessed with the abortion issue?" Well if this man had half a conscience and heard about the recent case of another botched abortion in South Florida, in which a live baby was delivered, but ended up dead in a cardboard box, he might have begun to get a clue.

According to a Sun-Sentinel report, The Department of Health said a doctor was scheduled to perform an abortion on a teenager who was 23 weeks pregnant. According to a complaint, she gave birth at a Hialeah clinic after waiting hours for the doctor to arrive. The complaint said one of the clinic owners put the baby in a bag that was thrown away. Police found the infant's decomposing remains a week later. The doctor was reported to have left his home country to work and train in the United States. It was never his intention to do abortions, he said."That was not part of my goals when I came to Florida," he said. "But I had to do it to survive."

Isn't it ironic that our country allows some people- including licensed doctors, the right to take the lives of some people in order"to survive?" this case was such a barbaric display of infanticide that even spokesman in the pro-abortion crowd condemned it and one Florida Legislator from Miami said, "These events are nothing short of murder." Has our own newly elected President and other abortion rights supporters realized that legal and perfectly executed abortions at 23 weeks (before and after), result in the same death- same murder in our country every day?

Indeed it was a banner week for the enemy and the age of darkness that permeates health and education, as Dr. Death himself, Jack Kervorkian was actually paid by Nova University in Broward, to spew more garbage about the benefits of Euthanasia. Kevorkian pulled another stunt in front of an audience of thousands at NSU. "Let's all say the Pledge of Allegiance," he said, then flipped a U.S. flag to reveal a replica on the other side with a swastika where the blue and stars would have been. From cradle to grave the culture of death continues to run rampant in our society as thousands gathered to hear 'Dr. Jack', with many cheering for the man who has made a career of snuffing out largely older, suffering, sick and impressionable citizens. Yet, we've legalized (in two states so far) that agency of murder as well. When does it stop? When will we say enough is enough?

Yes mister coffee shop man who thinks all pro-lifers are 'Bible-thumping' wackadoos, yes mister President and members of congress who think Christians and pro-lifers are single-issue voters and advocates, we're weird that way. We believe that children- those who pass from being unborn to born within seconds, as early as 23 weeks of gestation and from conception, should have rights, should be protected, should not be murdered and thrown in the trash, should be given the opportunity to have "LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Should I have another opportunity to address mister coffee shop man, and his position that women and "doctors" such as in the above storty have the right to do with children as they wish, I might ask, "Sir, how does one defend the indefensible?"
