From The Crucible (by Pastor Linda Pugsley)

Some serious thoughts on the right to life issues were covered a few weeks back. But I didn’t want to leave you hanging without some comments on how you can help to change the landscape of this moral mess.

First off, you need to realize that you can make a difference in our society. You can change the values and laws of our country to more reflect the sanctity of life. My question is…do you want to?

Organizations like Planned Parenthood, which receives millions in tax dollars each year, seem so invincible. Many people just give up saying they can’t fight a giant; maybe they should re-read the account of David and Goliath!

Ah–speaking of Planned Parenthood–seems an odd name for an organization that doesn’t seem much interested in urging women to be a parent!! They only seem to be a big, money making, baby killing machine whose real intent has been whitewashed with soft words and the token distribution of educational materials; all the while deflecting from their morbid and ghastly mission…to convince America, especially our young people, that killing the infant in the womb is an appropriate “choice”.

In our current society, words like right to choose, pro-choice, reproductive rights and the like, don’t tell the truth but mislead and misinform many to take the unnecessary and often physically and emotionally dangerous path to abortion. You may not agree with what I say, but I am still entitled to an informed opinion, at least for now.

So, what can you do when young teenagers have been brainwashed into thinking that “products of conception”, even fully-formed babies in the womb, are just “cells” and not a living entity? How many young girls or women have even seen a picture of the infant in their womb before deciding to have an abortion? Planned Parenthood says that an ultrasound is too “invasive” a procedure for the woman to endure. You’ve got to be kidding. Some of these girls often have pierced their tongues and some even have pierced their genitalia…and putting K-Y Jelly on their bellies is too invasive a procedure! Give me a break!

As much as the abortionists would like to just brush off abortion as a “right”, and even though abortion is legal in America, it is not brushed under the rug in any way. Abortion still remains a hot moral issue in our time.

Like I said, what can you do? Follow the next few blogs for an outline of some of the areas in which you can be effective in restoring the value and sanctity of life to our culture. Endure the fire...it's producing pure gold!
