1. Death Is Not A Choice
By David S. Roberts
This is a difficult subject with emotions running very heavy on both sides of the issue. Many fear to
strategy this subject with valid reason, few want to take the stand that I will and do because of my
own deep convictions about this topic. In preparation with this article, several sad facts came to light.
First, there is a deadly contradiction at work in American society. Second, there is an underlying value
being ignored in American society. As well as third, there is a terrible apathy about this subject in
american society. You will not agree with every thing I write, and that's alright, I would simply ask that
you listen and open your mind and your heart to the message.
I.There is a deadly Contradiction at Work.
We all saw the headlines. I don't think that there was one of all of us that wasn't shocked when we
heard that Susan smith drove that car to the lake with her children within. She killed them because,
now as a newly divorced mom, they had become inconvenient, disposable because her dating life
was suffering. The outrage of the country was immediate, phone callers to radio stations everywhere
demanding that she be worked the same fate she gave her sons, trapped in a vehicle, at the bottom
of a lake.
Or what about Andrea Yates or Kasey Anthony what individual with a quarter of a conscience didn't
scream out, 'God what's happening?' or what about the case of the man charged with vehicular
homicide lots of years ago because the pregnant lady he struck suffered a miscarriage The outcry is
there, a baby is dead and the mom suffers a loss, and also the community cries out to cease this kind
of misfortune, but give that same man the license and a clinic and the baby he just killed becomes
just another 'fetus'. And there is NO OUTCRY!
What about the pregnant woman who was charged with, get this, 'reckless endangerment of LIFE'
when she disregarded the judge's orders to quit using medicines and used again?
What about the teenager who had been charged with felony child abandonment, when she left the
woman's newborn child in the garbage bin in an alley?
We all think, how could a mother kill her own child But given the right circumstances, not one of these
crimes could be prosecuted because in some cases, the fetus is a baby, and in others it's just a mass
of tissue.
There is a deadly contradiction at work here. The debate for abortion used to center around whether
the fetus was really a living human. But the pro-abortion folk lost that discussion in every round, so
the debate has changed focus. Whether the fetus is human or otherwise is no longer the issue. It's
PRO-CHOICE!
For the woman who wants her unborn child, the man who kills the child, accidentally, is charged with
murder. For the woman that doesn't want the child, she is charged $425 by a man that kills her child
lawfully. For the Andrea Yates or even Kasey Anthonys' of the world, they're considered monsters, for
the lady emerging from the abortion clinic, she is a hero of generous causes. There is also a deadly
contradiction in the news media, (surprised?) all of us heard about the Florida abortion doctor who

2. was gunned lower in his home, it was upon 24/7 until the killer was caught and jailed. What
percentage of us heard about the Pro-Choice advocate who stormed into a church service one
sunday and gunned down the actual Pro-Life Minister? Where had been that on the news? Or how
about the woman who bled to death within hours associated with her abortion from the really clinic
that the doctor who had been gunned down worked within. What about the woman who was
dismissed from her job at US West for wearing a pro-life pin to work Was there any protection of that?
Outside of locally, absolutely no there was not. Did you hear any kind of news of the prayer team who
were meeting outside a good abortion clinic who were beaten by police as they lay on the ground? Or
about the truck that deliberately and gradually ran over the pro-life activists, trying to deliver a woman
to obtain an abortion?
What about the complaints from abortion clinics to the billboards being erected near their places of
business that show a picture of a murdered unborn child. Pro-Choice promoters call them "tacky, in
bad taste, and offensive". Quite simply, as long as what we are doing in here is not visible towards
the naked eye, then it's legal, guarded and acceptable. But how care you show other people what we
should do! Do any of these instances sound familiar to you, heard about all of them in the media? No,
and you will not because as anyone with half a brain knows now-a-days, the actual media has an
agenda almost all their own.
But think of it, when it is choice that determines whether a good action is murder or even acceptable,
then we have removed any standard of right and wrong. Choice does not make the determination of
life versus. NOn-life, life is life regardless, the choice is in the taking of this life and that is not one that
people have the right to make. This brings us to our second truth.
II.There is definitely an Underlying Value being ignored.
Life is important to god. From the life of the unborn child to the life of the retiree, life is important to
God.
Psalm 139:13-15
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mom's womb. I praise you because I
am fearfully as well as wonderfully made; your functions are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame
was not hidden from you when I is made in the secret place."
Jeremiah 1:4-5
"The word of the head of the family came to me saying, "before I formed you within the womb I knew
you, before you were born we set you apart; i appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
In reading these and other passages, we see that life is important to god, including the life of the
unborn baby, whom God knows, whom God forms, whom god can set apart. But in this country,
choice is becoming God. We are ignoring a standard God Himself set. When we ignore the value of
life in support of choice, the choice then has to extend to the the children who're born, but who
become hard to manage, to elderly parents who become incapable of fending for themselves, and to
the handicapped who don't "bring about our society".
And if you think that this sounds cruel, or farfetched, listen a moment. Within the Netherlands, where
abortion is actually and has been socially acceptable for more years than it has been here, they

3. passed a euthanasia law allowing people to kill themselves if they therefore wish. But today, in the
netherlands, doctors in emergency rooms are given the option of whether to take the time and efforts
trying to save a life, as a matter of truth they have issued little credit cards much like our organ
contributor cards that say basically, "please don't let me die, attempt to save me." If an accident victim
does not have that greeting card, the doctors make which person's final determination as to whether
they will live or pass away. And it was just ten years ago that they introduced a law that would allow
parents associated with any child born blind, deaf, retarded, or severely handicapped to decide if that
kid should be allowed to live, or even left to starve in order to death alone in an isolation ward.
CHOICE HAS BECOME lord ! Now it's no longer an issue whether the life is human or otherwise,
now it's a matter of a parents', a doctors', the stressed out adult child's word, and a life can be lawfully
discarded as if it were trash.
With respect for life is really scarce, no wonder we've got children killing kids just to see what it would
feel like.
You might say, Dave, what about the arguments the pro-abortion people use? Is the fetus human?
Well, the bible says so, and for me personally that is good enough. But for those of you who can't
accept the actual Bible, what about Science? science says so too. Life is understood to be that which
has ability to reproduce itself, and from the moment associated with conception, when each cellular
divides and reproduces, that's life.
Some use the "it is my body" argument against ending abortion, when in actuality, it isn't the woman's
body. The child is incorporated in the woman's body, but is actually distinct and separate in the
woman, often having a different blood type than the lady. This is not a procedure to remove a tumor,
it is a violent act of murder upon a good innocent human infant. However let's just say this isn't the
case that the infant really is part of her body. We don't allow a woman to inject illegal drugs in to her
body. We don't permit her to sell her body in prostitution, except within Vegas, so that shouldn't truly
surprise anyone. So if we don't give a woman a right to complete these things, how can she need the
right to murder her unborn baby under the guise of "it's her body".
It is a false argument entirely.
But Dave, in ways, what about the children who are delivered handicapped. Wouldn't their "standard
of living " mean anything to you? let me answer you this way, when the right of another person to live
comes down to the judgment of their contribution to society, or their comprehension as to the world
around them, then we open the floodgates with regard to increase moral disintegration. There are
many healthy, sane people who just contribution to our society is within raising their children right, i
would say that is a great contribution to society. We wouldn't have the inspirational stories of Helen
Keller, Ray Charles, or any other handicapped individual who may not have contributed like Keller or
even Charles but perhaps they've value because life is vital that you God. And He values all of them.
But let's use this exact same logic. Shouldn't we then because was done in the movie, Logan's Run,
set an age limit up to which one may live? In the movie age was 30, now, composing as a 40 year
old, i'd object to this policy, but let's imagine set it at sixty five. After all, they are done working then,
so therefore cannot contribute any more to society. So that all Senior Citizens upon reaching 65 years

4. of age will be humanely offer sleep, medical costs might plummet, Social Security might be saved,
but what for and nursing homes would not be a necessity.
Sound heartless? life is life, whether it is the unborn child, or the retiree. And a lady no more has the
moral to the choice to end her unborn child's life than i have to end hers, yours, or even anyone
else's. Is the unborn child a life? Consider these details :
The unborn child has a heart beat by the 18th day.
The unborn child's brain begins to function at forty days.
The unborn child breathes, techniques and sleeps.
The unborn child grows, hiccups, and sucks his usb.
The unborn child is operated on to correct defects which is how they learned that the unborn child
feels pain.
The unborn child is completely formed before the mother actually knows she is pregnant.
The unborn child can survive outside the womb at 20 weeks and with current technologies improving,
that number will get pushed back to 19,eighteen
Abortions can be performed on these unborn children up to the moment of their birth. Most people
aren't aware of what happens in an abortion, and though not pleasant, the fact is you've been lied to
as to the normalcy and ease of this process. Abortion is a violent, harmful procedure. I will not explain
the methods used, I choose to not.
What I will describe to you are the saddest cases, the actual babies who are not desired, but are too
developed to become murdered without risk to the mother. They induce work, and the child is left
alone in a room separate from the viewing room at the medical center. They are allowed to starve to
death, some who are as well developed are taken component way out of the womb while the 'doctor'
strangles the life out of the child, which upon death, is discarded in the trash.
III.There is a horrible Apathy poisoning our Culture.
There is a terrible apathy poisoning our culture. We've got people heading all out for all causes.
There's a car driving around Kissimmee with loads of bumper peel off stickers on the back, among
them are, "Save the Whales", "conserve the Manatees", "Meat is Murder" and finally, "I election Pro-
Choice". In other words, save everything but the humans!
We have people devoting time and energy to causes like saving the whale stuck in the ice flow, save
the polar bears from global warming, bring back the actual red M&M, but very few are even
attempting to stop the murder of kids !
And the most tragic part of it all is that there is a terrible apathy among Christians in regards to this
subject. We think that there's nothing that we can do because the problem is too big. But that's
incorrect, there's a lot we can perform. If you choose to picket an abortion clinic, that's legitimate,
otherwise legal. If you choose to pray concerning the situation, that where our power comes from.
Maybe you supports a pro-life organization financially, that's another choice.
But the single most important thing you can do only takes a few moments of your time. And that is,
you can vote Pro-Life. Disagree beside me if you wish, what issue is more important than the life of
an unborn child Security of our nation? just how long do you think we will stay secure if we keep

5. problem God by the murdering of the innocent? Romans 1:thirty-two makes it clear that those that
give approval to sinners for committing sin, are simply as guilty as those committing the sin.
Therefore the next time you go to vote for the lesser of two evils, or for your union work and the
candidate is for the murder of human babies, just imagine yourself with your hands wrapped around
the neck of the newborn, who came along with just bad timing, because your vote for a pro-abortion
candidate is exactly the same as approving, even committing the act of abortion.
When I saw my child born 9 weeks prematurely struggling to breathe, along with wires coming out
from all angles, I knew which no one would ever have the ability to tell me that abortion would be a
choice any longer. Her arms were almost as heavy as a crayola marker, she was almost six pounds,
and she was the biggest baby in the neo-natal ICU. Other peoples' arms were thinner than a #2
pencil, tubes stuck down their throats letting them breathe, I watched since the nurses pricked heels
to attract blood and the expression on the faces of the infants within pain.
I do not believe that anyone after seeing the size of a premature baby or one of these new 3D
imaging sonograms, I do not believe that anyone having seen that can still be for abortion without
surrendering their mankind in the process. The question is now what will you do about it, because
death Is Not a Choice.
