Unintended Consequences – Abortion

Submitted by on July 20, 2009 – 6:24 pmNo Comment

Pba45Here we go.  This is a controversial issue but I thought I’d take a closer look at abortion. How does the money work in the abortion industry?  Who benefits?  What are the consequences?  I was rather surprised to find that in addition to abortion being highly lucrative, a whole baby parts after market has developed and appears to be driving policy in regards to partial birth abortion.  So here are some alarming facts.

Since 1973, more than 50 million babies have been killed in the womb. That’s a lot of life. As a point of comparison, that’s a couple million more than all deaths of WWII. Hitler killed a bit over 10 million. Stalin may have killed up to 20 million. We kill a lot of babies…roughly 4,000 (1 out of 5, I believe) a day in this country.

That’s a lot of baby parts made possible by partial birth abortion. Apparently, you can buy ears for $75 a pair; arms and legs, $150; a brain for $999, tax not included.  Notice the brains fetch higher dollar amounts as these items can only be salvaged by abortions that are performed after birth (babies are left on a table to die after birth or drowned).

On another financial note, American Life League posted a full-page ad in the Washington Times. The ad explains that since 1973, more than 50 million babies have been killed in the womb. “Those are the very babies that, today, would be living, working — and paying into Social Security,” said ALL president Judie Brown. She pointed out that “The government is largely responsible for the Social Security crisis. They have continued to fund abortion giants such as Planned Parenthood, which aid in the destruction of human life.” We will reap what we sow and this worries me.  When does God say enough is enough?

We live in a world that has no regard for life on any level. We are treated as a commodity from birth to death. We are far from the heart of God.  And we are going to pay for it.

I encourage you to watch this documentary on partial birth abortion. This is an issue that effects all of us, even those that only care about their pocket books/social security benefits.

Join Marlin Maddoux, host of the nationally syndicated radio news talk program Point of View, for an investigation into the multi-million dollar a year baby parts trafficking industry, which is one of the most lucrative businesses in operation today. Yet most Americans are unaware of its existence. Many have heard about the controversy surrounding fetal tissue research but have no idea how the tissue is obtained.

Who are some of the players in the baby parts industry? What are live birth abortions? Are they occurring? Are women being pressured into abortions with promises that their baby’s parts will be used to help cure diseases? Why did elected officials in the past fight so hard to keep partial birth abortion legal? Why did the Congressional “baby parts” hearings turn into a fiasco? Has the media fairly presented all sides of the fetal tissue controversy?
