Now look at a close-up of what the
large sign in the middle says.
Throughout the mid-1980s, the threat
of nuclear war was a major focus of public
controversy. Anti-nuclear activists worked very
hard to make their point that the global
population was at risk, being threatened by the
proliferation of massive nuclear arsenals and
stockpiles in the USA and former USSR.
Notice the
poignant wording in the sign as shown above.
A
DISGRACE TO DECENCY, CIVILIZATION,
REASON AND LOGIC
-NO-
DECENT CIVILIZED HUMANS
DO NOT NUKE FELLOW HUMANS
-NO-
THE WORLD MUST RENOUNCE THIS MADNESS.
IT STARTS WITH YOU.
AS AN ACT OF SANITY, BAN NUCLEAR WEAPONS
OR HAVE A NICE DOOMSDAY
It is
difficult to understand why many of the same
activists pushing the government so hard to ban
nuclear weapons were favorable towards abortion,
a war on the human race that has claimed the
lives of tens of millions in the USA and over a
billion worldwide since 1973. Nuclear weapons,
which did pose an imminent threat of war in those
days, have thus far claimed the lives of those,
numbering less than three hundred thousand, who
perished in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,
Japan during World War II.
From the
1950s through the 1980s, the mighty military
machines of the USA and USSR so much equipped
their nuclear and offensive capabilities to
counter each other's potential offenses, that
mutual destruction of both countries was
guaranteed in the event of war. This threat of
mutual annihilation, which would have poisoned
the atmosphere and affected all life on earth,
dissuaded either nation from initiating any
offensive, although there were close calls and
false alerts. Any thought to promote the
advancement and proliferation of nuclear warfare
was considered madness, illogical and indecent in
the minds of many people.
In
contrast, babies in the womb have absolutely no
defense against the ill choices and actions of
their parents (and grandparents, spouses,
partners, lovers, friends and co-workers of their
parents). They are helpless victims when the
decision for abortion is made, preventing them
from reaching full term. We have rights for
battered women, abused children, criminals,
whales and pets. But babies in the womb have no
law-ordained rights. Should we consider that
decent?
At the
close of World War II, the dropping of two atomic
bombs on two Japanese cities signaled a wake-up
call to the world which said, "These nuclear
weapons are lethal and dangerous to the whole
human population." In truth, we had to
wonder if nuclear war was decent.
On
September 11, 2001, God issued a 911 wake-up call
to the United States of America, an attack on the
two greatest symbols of its financial and
military prowess, the twin towers of the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon, in order to remind
all of us that our choice to have "choice"
is begging for war with the Almighty. If we
continue to pronounce unlimited abortion on
demand and partial birth abortion as "decent",
"civilized", "reasonable" or
"logical" to ourselves, to our children
and to the rest of the world, then we have seen
only the beginning of the Almighty's hand of
judgment lowered on the nation that made it legal
in 1973. We have to wonder if our choice to have
"choice" is decent, civilized,
reasonable and logical. Truly, this is a disgrace.
This is insane.
Perhaps we
need to learn a lesson from the zeal and
thoughtfulness of the anti-nuclear activists of
the 1980s and reconsider what is truly decent,
civilized, reasonable and logical. Instead of
nuclear arms as the focus, let's remember the
millions who have perished through abortion, in
the hopes that a future generation might one day
be realized which knew no such threat on its
posterity as our generation does today.
A
DISGRACE TO DECENCY, CIVILIZATION,
REASON AND LOGIC
-NO-
DECENT CIVILIZED HUMANS
DO NOT ABORT OR EUTHANIZE FELLOW HUMANS
-NO-
THE WORLD MUST RENOUNCE THIS MADNESS.
IT STARTS WITH YOU.
AS AN ACT OF DECENCY, REPENT FROM ABORTION
NOW
OR GOOD LUCK ON JUDGMENT DAY
May we all
soon realize the truth of these words and act
accordingly.
