“ÇodSave. Our Children”, ‘Trouble in the [and
bv
M argaret I saacs
Sometime ago I wrote about abor­
tion (1.6 m illio n children murdered
in their m other’s w om b) and the dam­
age done to fam ilies by this elected
method o f shunning responsibility
under the guise o f free choice. The
effects o f this m urder by choice are
apparent i f we care to open our eyes
and see.
One o f the s p in -o ff results o f this
ungodly taking o f life is the develop­
ment o f a “ p a rtia l-b irth abortion”
procedure. Cruel beyond imagina­
tion, this procedure requires that a
fetus (a baby) be removed feet firs t
from the womb, through the b irth
canal until all but its head is exposed;
then the tips o f surgical scissors are
thrust into the base o f the baby’ s
skull and the brain is extracted.
As a retired nurse, it is d iffic u lt fo r
me to call to m ind any obstetrical
situation that w ould require such a
procedure be performed. But I can
imagine all sorts o f risks to the m oth­
er, such as placental abruption. Even
i f the risks are not considered, it
boggles the m ind that men/women
could devise such a cruel, inhuman,
sadistic method to com m it legal m ur­
der. M ost o f these babies are un­
doubtedly s till alive when they are
p a rtia lly removed from the uterus.
W ith professional adults setting such
examples, is there any w onder sib­
lings are k illin g each other; children
slaying parents; atrocities o f every
kin d com ing about by the hands o f
m isguided, ungodly, compassionless,
amoral, satanistic people, blinded by
the gods o f this w orld?

results o f th e ir life o f vanity, still

In the name o f “ choice” G odly
people tolerate such cruelty w ithout
asking questions, thus, we are ju st as
g u ilty o f these abhorrent practices as
the doctors w ho perform these abor­
tion procedures
Psalms 78:32) For all this they
sinned s till, and believed not in G o d ’s
wondrous works. 2nd C or 4:4, These
“ in whom the god o fth is w o rld (satan)
hath blinded the minds o f them which
believed not, lest the lig h t o f the
glorious gospel o f Christ, w ho is the
image o f G od, should shine unto
them. Rev. 21:8, But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and a ll liars,
shall have their part in the lake which
bum eth w ith fire and brim stone,
w hich is the second death.
The population o f A m erica, once
G odly, com m itted and trusting in
God; now has more compromise than
co n victio n in its make-up. A m erica
once had the respect o f other nations;
held in high esteem in countries that
knew not our God; now we must post
signs that proclaim that we are G o d ­
ly, otherwise, none w o u ld suspect
that b e lie f in God and freedom to
w orship are the basis o f our nation.
We send food to foreign countries,
w h ile in Am erica, food banks have
made legal by ungodly people. G o d ’s
people are “ vexed w ith the filth y
m ind-bent and u n la w ful deeds and
filth y C onversation o f the w icked.”
(2nd Peter, Ch 2), The wicked walk
afterthe flesh in the lust o f uncleanness
and they, as natural brute beast (which
should be taken and destroyed) speak
evil o f things they do not understand.
T h e y re c e iv e the a w a rd s o f
unrighteousness and count it a plea­
sure. They are spots and blemishes on
the face o f the nation, sporting them­
selves w ith their own deceivings, while
liv in g and eating side by side w ith us.
T heir eyes are fu ll o f adultery, and they
become a necessity; food lines to
soup kitchens grow longer each day;
children starve and the e ld e rly die fo r
lack o f medical attention. A ll the

The roaring lio n is loose in A m e r­

k illin g our children, w h ile prom ising
wealth and freedom and pleasures
w ith o u t penalties, negating the need
to practice love, fa ith , compassion

Recovery comes in shapes and sizes
sometimes it comes before we realize.
Recovery makes me proud to he, a challenging
mother to my children, willfully.
Recovery in life has its true, ups and downs
without our higher power, it couldn 7 be found.
Recovery is like the rain that cleanses our souls,
washes away, all bitterness it holds
Recovery is essential in one’s life, we live
without its strong presence, we can’t have, unless we give.
Recovery comes in all colors and beautiful lights and
in this, 1 know recovery is worth this fight.
