When faced with reality...get angry?

On a recent trip to Washington, DC I visited the Holocaust Memorial for the second time. Once again, I was stirred.

The Holocaust Memorial always reminds of another atrocity: abortion.

I long for the day when abortion, like the Holocaust, will be merely an injustice of the past. The day when there will be an Abortion Memorial built in Washington, DC filled with unbelievable images and a room where you can sit and listen to the stories of abortion survivors; and people will shake their heads in disbelief that this injustice actually happened in the United States.

Yet, abortion is far from being an injustice of the past. In fact, it is occurring by the thousands right now, as you read this.

I've been involved in numerous pro-life demonstrations on college campuses; and during some demonstrations we have displayed images of mangled, dismembered, partially developed children that had just been aborted.

It never fails that when we do this many of the pro-abortion people passing by harass us about displaying these images on campus --claiming they are too offensive.But what I have come to realize is that these people aren't offended by the fact that these innocent human beings were slaughtered and tossed aside like trash. They are only offended about having to be confronted with the images of it happening.

If abortion is truly a simple surgical procedure, then what is so offensive about seeing images of it?

On The Learning Channel (TLC) there is a show called, "A Baby Story," in which they show vaginal births and cesareans that are just as bloody and gory as the abortion images. Yet, I never hear people complaining that the images on TLC are too offensive.

The reason people are offended by images of abortion and not other surgical procedures is because abortion, unlike any other surgery, is a horrific, intensely violent act against innocent children.

However, instead of getting upset at them selves, the pro-abortion people attack us, the ones showing the images.

Why?

Because they don't want to face reality: that they have been complacent in the face of injustice.

When pro-aborts are confronted with these images they are forced, for a moment, to quit hiding behind their rhetoric and face the truth. The truth that abortion isn't just something we debate in Philosophy class, but it is real. And nearly one in every three children conceived in the United States are undergoing the hideous acts shown in these pictures.

But if abortion is merely another surgical procedure, like the pro-aborts still continue to allege it is, then what is their fuss all about?

After all, Naomi Wolf, an abortion nazi and famous feminist once wrote, "How can we charge that it is vile and repulsive for pro-lifers to brandish vile and repulsive images if the images are real? To insist that the truth is in poor taste is the very height of hypocrisy. Besides, if these images are often the facts of the matter, and if we claim that it is offensive for pro-choice women to be confronted by them, then we are making the judgment that women are too inherently weak to face a truth about which they have to make a grave decision."

However, Naomi is wrong -- and so is anyone else who attempts to convince themselves of the lies told by the pro-abortion advocates.

Just to think, if I would have fallen for their lies then I would have never heard my child, Jonathan, laugh, or see him draw his first picture, or watch him finally cross the monkey bars all by himself!

Abortion is a reality that can be photographed and displayed in pictures. If those who support the act can't bear to face images of it, then maybe they shouldn't be supporting it.
