"Every 90 Seconds!"

Next week we will be honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for his contribution to America’s Civil Rights movement. There will be numerous speeches and statements made about Dr. King from politicians and activists all over the nation.

The roots of the civil rights movement rest in our Constitution and its first ten amendments, the Bill of Rights, upon which all of our freedom rests. Civil rights are the issue, the belief that those amendments should be available to every American citizen and should not be INFRINGED UPON by any person, organization, or oppressive government.

The “hot button issue” of today seems to be “gun control” because of some terrible gun incidents in recent weeks. We have seen several people, both adults and children, lose their lives due to illegal use of firearms by those of diminished capacity. These are tragic incidents and we should all be disturbed by them. It now seems that these incidents are being politicized by many on the left in an effort to attack our second amendment rights. It is abhorrent that people have died, and I don’t want to lessen this terrible loss of life, yet, I don’t want to see the intentions of our Founding Fathers misinterpreted for political gains.

I find it interesting that these same people who seem so concerned about the deaths caused by gun violence are showing absolutely no concern about another form of murder that occurs every 90 seconds of every day in our nation, 400 deaths an hour, if you want to keep count.

The victims are forced from a place of comfort, and pulled out by force while all of their connections to survival are severed with sharpened knives and clamps. If they happen to survive the attack, they are left out to succumb to their wounds without emergency treatment. These victims are totally innocent of any crime; they are murdered because others don’t want them to exist. This is a more efficient “murder machine” than the NAZI Death Camps.

What is being described above is the “legal abortion system” of the United States of America. Hundreds of thousands of innocent children are having their civil right to exist stolen from them in murderous abortion clinics all across this nation as casually as ordering a burger at a fast food restaurant. I wonder how Dr. King would feel about these civil rights infringements.

This system of child murder goes on silently every day as an accepted business in our so-called civilized America. Our President endorses this system of murder, yet he defiles our right to bear arms, quite a paradox don’t you think?

If we want to remove a really violent practice in America we should consider abortion before we take firearms away from honest citizens. If we look at the numbers, it is a “no-brainer”, unless of course, you are only interested in making “political hay”!
