President Obama has tried to build selective outrage with regard to the victims of the Sandy Hook elementary massacre. We are right to be outraged that a deranged individual slaughtered all those innocent children for no apparent reason. But it is disgusting to see liberals exploit this tragedy to pass ineffective gun control legislation that is very unlikely to stop the next attack. What makes this even worse is the failure of anyone in the Obama administration or the liberal left to even comment on this horrid murder trial in Philadelphia. WARNING! The following article is very graphic and it is likely to make you physically ill:

The mainstream media, still running non-stop coverage of Sandy Hook, has pretty much ignored this story. But the Sandy Hook massacre lasted only a few minutes, and I wonder if there was any way it could have been prevented. Dr. Gosnell conducted his slaughter house for decades and he most certainly could have been stopped long ago. Planned Parenthood is running a nationwide abortion program at least partially funded with tax payer dollars. It is time to start telling the brutal truth about abortion.
Abortion is only morally acceptable only if you start with the premise that this is just the removal of some insignificant tissue. The reality is that birth is a miracle of nature and both the baby and the mother are equally important. The star of Roe vs. Wade, Norma Lean McCorvey delivered a beautiful baby daughter because abortion was illegal in Texas and the Roe vs. Wade decision came too late for her.
In her own book, Won by Love she wrote the following:
I was sitting in O.R.’s offices when I noticed a fetal development poster. The progression was so obvious, the eyes were so sweet. It hurt my heart, just looking at them. I ran outside and finally, it dawned on me. ‘Norma’, I said to myself, ‘They’re right’. I had worked with pregnant women for years. I had been through three pregnancies and deliveries myself. I should have known. Yet something in that poster made me lose my breath. I kept seeing the picture of that tiny, 10-week-old embryo, and I said to myself, that’s a baby! It’s as if blinders just fell off my eyes and I suddenly understood the truth — that’s a baby!
I felt crushed under the truth of this realization. I had to face up to the awful reality. Abortion wasn’t about ‘products of conception’. It wasn’t about ‘missed periods’. It was about children being killed in their mother’s wombs. All those years I was wrong. Signing that affidavit, I was wrong. Working in an abortion clinic, I was wrong. No more of this first trimester, second trimester, third trimester stuff. Abortion — at any point — was wrong. It was so clear. Painfully clear.[3]
(For those of you who don’t know, “O.R.” is Operation Rescue.)
According to the National Right to Life Committee there have been over 50 million abortions in the 40 years since Roe vs. Wade. Some may dispute the actual number, but by any count there have been far too many.
There are certainly times when it is hard to judge someone for choosing to have an abortion. It is hard to tell a woman that has been raped that she must bear her assailant’s child. It is impossible to tell a couple that they must continue a pregnancy even though the baby is horribly deformed and would have no chance of survival. But while one may justify some abortions, how on earth can we justify 50 million of them?
There are also times when courageous women made a very different choice. I have a friend who was born without arms. I am certain that if this happened today, his mother would be strongly encouraged to consider abortion. Who could blame her? But she delivered that baby who obviously faced some very real challenges. Thank God she did, because today we are blessed with a brilliant and charismatic man, a successful attorney and an inspiring friend.
Is it really much of a choice when a young girl is taken out of her high school class and driven to an abortion clinic for a quick procedure and returned home in time to avoid telling her parents? A girl who is told this decision is easy and obvious? A girl who is not told that this decision will destroy another human life? How many of these girls will experience a Norma Leah McCorvey moment, years later, when they finally realize the reality of what was done?
For years we have covered up the true story of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood. She believed in “eugenics” which focused on improving society by selective breeding. Actually it would be more accurate to say “selective non-breeding.” Today Planned Parenthood proudly offers free and easy abortions for minority women. This is exactly Margaret Sanger had in mind. In case some of you think I am distorting her views, following is a link to a paper written by Margaret Sanger. Judge for yourself:

I challenge anyone who strongly supports free funding of abortions for minorities to read the following quote from this document without asking a very obvious question: “Was this designed to help minorities, or to exterminate them?”
The potential mother is to be shown that maternity need not be slavery but the most effective avenue toward self-development and self-realization. Upon this basis only may we improve the quality of the race.
As an advocate of Birth Control, I wish to take advantage of the present opportunity to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the “unfit” and the “fit”, admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation to the mentally and physically fit though less fertile parents of the educated and well-to-do classes. On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.
When you consider how many minority women have had abortions in this country since Roe vs. Wade, Margaret Sanger must be very proud.
I am heartbroken about the 20 innocent lives destroyed by one deranged individual in Connecticut. I agree that we should all be outraged by this incident. But we should be even more outraged at a society that condones over 50 million abortions because of a collective willingness to ignore the true value of a human fetus.
