Using Aborted Babies Overies in IVF

After reading THIS post at Daily Mail I have thought long and hard about the ramifications of taking the ovaries from aborted babies to use in IVF treatments.  Obviously my faith does not even allow me to consider the morality of such a thing. It isn't. In any way shape or form. But as we know the scientific community rarely looks to the Catholic Church to see if something "should" be done.

So, what could we expect within say 15 years if they start this process now? I suspect we would see an increase in birth defects cause embryos to be destroyed, or babies aborted should defects be found after being implanted. I would say it would be extremely disturbing for a child to learn that they don't really have a biological mother because she was never allowed to even take a breath.

More disturbing to me however is the medical communities insistence on playing God. And their complete lack 'because we can' attitude. We abort babies before they are born (or in sick cases being  highlighted by the Goznell trial, after they are born) because they are not viable, they are blobs of tissue, they are not alive... yet we can take a piece of that "not alive" and make life from it???

When are we going to accept the fact that the children we abort are children? How can we continue to accept things like abortion, and questions about using aborted babies in other medical experiments and not understand that the case of Kermit Goznell is a very direct result of our own "blurring of the lines" when it comes to life and death? 

I have talked before about not judging the women too harshly that have had abortions, they are usually desperate and feel they have no other choice to make. They walk into clinics like Goznells and they say all the right things. "It will be over soon, it will be quick, it's just a blob of tissue, it's not a baby..." all those things that help an already desperate woman justify killing her baby.

What they don't tell her is how she will feel when her desperation fades, and she realizes what she has done. They don't tell her all the complications that could happen. Lie upon lie, all in the name of the all mighty dollar and "woman's choice". Our culture of death is destroying us.

More people need to stand up and speak for those that do not have a voice. The most innocent among us. When we have Catholics and other Christians condoning the death sentence abortion brings to our little ones we are lost. We must teach our children that abstinence is far more precious than a one night stand, that their bodies are precious and not a tool. That sex is more than just a feel good weekend activity. And that babies, regardless of how they are conceived begin their life at the moment of conception NOT the moment they take their first breath.

Gosnell, have you heard of him?

Dr. (and I use the title loosely) Kermit Gosnell headed up an abortion clinic in PA. It was shut down nearly 2 years ago after a health inspector FINALLY saw fit to go check out this clinic. After the inspector went through the clinic it was dubbed the "house of horrors".

To some of us that is not surprise, after all abortion clinic automatically equals "house of horrors". To some however, those who think abortion is ok it is not automatic, it is unsettling, and therefore they must ignore. How can one ignore "house of horrors", millions made, 2 women killed, many more injured. Not to mention babies killed AFTER being born alive by having scissors shoved into their necks and their spines cut. And jar after jar of tiny little feet, arms, legs, kept on shelves for what purpose?

After 17 years of running his filthy clinic, he was finally inspected and then charged with murder, among other things, but we don't here about this in the main stream media. We sure heard about the dogs that Mr. Vick used in his dog fights, because that was horrific. We sure heard about the horses being tied and left to starve, because that was horrific. We hear about a lot of things having to do with animal cruelty, we know when Lindsey Lohan finds herself in trouble again, when a celebrity couple splits, and sometimes we even have to hear about how fantastic Obama is doing as president, despite the numbers and facts showing us otherwise, but we don't hear about this man who is charged with murder because he killed babies 30 seconds too late.

So where is why. If the main stream media were to highlight this story it would put the ridiculous fact that he is being charged because his first attempt to kill a baby was perfectly fine in this beautiful country we live in, but because he failed at that one and the baby somehow managed to live, despite his best efforts and was born into this world alive and that he THEN killed the child 30 seconds too late directly in pro choice faces.

We would be putting the spot light on that which pro-life people have been saying all along. It's NOT a blob of tissue, it is a child, a living being with full rights as it's own person. We would be shedding light on the stupidity of the argument that this "thing" is not living, that it has no potential for life.

Now wouldn't that be a shame, then we would have to admit that abortion in general is nothing but the murder of a child. Now you know why you won't hear about this much in mainstream media either. What little they mention will be hidden at the back, or at the very end of the trial where they will merely mention the results of this trial.

Children should belong to "the community". Really?

I watched this video, and I get it, she is part of the group of  people who believe that "It takes a village to raise a child". 

But, given the new common core curriculum and some of the issues we have seen with that, AND the idea that there are some families who do nothing "wrong" yet still get their children taken away because others don't agree with the parenting skills. One has to start asking if we really want this attitude to prevail.



Here are a few examples of where I think this kind of thinking can be very dangerous.

1. I prefer to deal with the education of my children and therefore the sex education of my children in a completely different manner then the public school system does. If we start to accept the premise that all children belong to the community, then we open the door to the "community" deciding what is best for our children. Keep your hands off please, I kinda like how my children are turning out compared to a lot of the kids around the neighborhood.

2. I choose to wait on vaccines and am leaning more and more toward the idea that they are not good for the kids and lead to lots of problems. Currently, I have the choice, but the public at large is not of the same mind set. If we allow the thinking that our children are not ours, soon we will be obligated to raise them the same, vaccines and all. Since there is clear and defining data that some vaccines cause issues with children, it really should be the choice of the parents who have to deal with that child 24/7.

Which leads me to 3. Once we open the door, and we develop the "community owns the children" mentality then my rights and responsibilities as a parent are out the door. My rights will be taken over, when that happens you will also see the parents (because what are they going to do hire a bunch of nannies - no they are still going to expect parents to raise the children - just as they tell them to) who decide they will not accept the responsibility either. After all, someone else can deal with it right?

The other thought that lept from my brain is that this is one more clear example of how the democrats think erratically. The idea that once a child is born, it belongs to the "community". Before that however, it is the mothers choice to kill the child or not. Really? At the moment there are many more parents looking to adopt a child "of the community", yet we still insist that the mother has the right to kill the child because it is inconvenient.  Where is the logic and common sense in that?  It's not there, plain and simple. Like a lot of the democrats think - there is no logic, nor common sense.
