Will you stay the executions of the unborn?
By Felicia (Fee) Benamon (12/26/05)
With recent news on the fight to save Stanley "Tookie" Williams from death row, I am reminded of another fight that deserves just as much attention. The fight for the unborn children, the fight against abortion.
Stanley Williams, co-founder of the Crips gang, died by lethal injection Tues. December 13, 2005 for heinous murders committed against at least 4 innocent people. Where is the justice for those 4 victims if he is allowed clemency? No matter how much he has done to reverse his past, no matter how much he's done to pay for what he's done, it still does not make up for the fact that 4 people are dead, and no remorse from Williams was expressed for their deaths. In fact, witnesses at his trial recall his statement on how his victims sounded when he shot them. If that isn't cold-blooded, I don't know what is!
We live in a society where people are sometimes immune to the fact that our actions have consequences. And we must face them instead of trying ways to get out of the situation on "good behavior" or other methods. Some in society think that if the government takes a life from someone who has violently murdered innocent people, it is simply "state-sponsored murder". Anti-death penalty protesters scream "Stop the killing!". And some are calling Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger the cold-blooded murder. The Governor simply removed someone from society who has committed horrible crimes and showed no remorse. Stanley Williams made a choice, and he has to face his punishment. But I wonder, where are the voices for the innocent babies murdered...countless babies who were slaughtered at the hands of legalized abortion?! There is no reprieve for them through our awful abortion laws. Isn't that "state-sponsored murder?".
Women are ripping their children from their wombs and this is supposed to be ok?! Not only that, the astonishing attempt by some mothers to willingly harm their fetus is just as bad!:

The Supreme Court of Hawaii has ruled that unborn children are not "human beings," and therefore women cannot be prosecuted for causing the death of babies by harmful behavior during their pregancies.
The unanimous decision overturns the manslaughter conviction of 32-year-old Tayshea Aiwohi, who was found guilty in connection with the death of her newborn son by smoking crystal methamphetamine shortly before his birth.
"I'm extremely happy and grateful," said Aiwohi. "I believe [the case] changed me into a better person and I just hope to share that with others."
"My son can finally lay to rest," her husband, Kimo Aiwohi, told reporters. "And I'm very happy for my wife."
Tayshea gave birth to her son, Treyson, July 15, 2001, but the boy perished within two days with high levels of methamphetamine and amphetamine in his system, according to the local coroner.
The woman allegedly admitted to using the drugs for three days before the birth and took a "hit" on the morning her son was delivered.

An interesting comment was brought to my attention: If unborn children aren't "human beings", then why would the husband say "My son can finally lay to rest?". Hmm, good point! As one can see, this is indeed a twisted ruling! This woman was using crystal meth while pregnant she willingly took it, and now, she has a dead life on her hands. No charges were brought against her?! Ridiculous!
Our society has become so callous in how we treat our unborn children. Case in point, an abortion doctor talks of his experiences with his patients and how he is, in a sense, offering a chance to get their lives back, women are "reborn" after they have their abortions!:
In the years since, Harrison has become more outspoken.
He calls himself an "abortionist" and says, "I am destroying life."
But he also feels he's giving life: He calls his patients "born again."
"When you end what the woman considers a disastrous pregnancy, she has literally been given her life back," he says.

Being pregnant is disastrous?! No, it's a privilege! Many people are not able to conceive and would do anything to have a child! But some are so careless that they would only think of themselves when they are with child. The interests of their unborn baby becomes mute.
Another snippet in the article says:
A high school volleyball player says she doesn't want to give up her body for nine months. "I realize just from the first three months how it changes everything," she says.
Kim, a single mother of three, says she couldn't bear to give away a child and have to wonder every day if he were loved. Ending the pregnancy seemed easier, she says — as long as she doesn't let herself think about "what could have been."

I really hate to hear that the only excuse that this lady has to explain why she got an abortion, was because she didn't want to give it up for adoption for fear he wouldn't be loved. I would rather give my child a chance at life than to rip it from my womb! That would weigh even more heavily on my conscience!
So when this abortion doctor speaks of Rebirth, I am wondering what frame of mind he is in. There is NO way to blot out the stain on your conscience after an abortion unless you get on your face before Almighty God and ask for forgiveness for taking a precious, innocent life that He so graciously bestowed upon you. Think about all the unborn, aborted children that some in our country, have left by the wayside. They were murdered, and we know it.
A friend of mine remarked to me...that since the 70's, when abortion became legal, those babies who were aborted, who could have lived... would have been born and had kids of their own and produced another generation, thousands of people! I also mentioned before, in an earlier article: Our children...our nation's most precious investment, that abortion has killed more people than all the wars we've fought:
Abortion War (1973-?)
Total: 23,250,000 + Killed! That's a whole generation of children who could have been great leaders, scientists, doctors, etc. They could have blessed the world!
The only way I see to raise concern about the issue of abortion is to add some shock value. This is a response to the disgusting article on "Rebirth" after abortion, and the pictures contained within this link are very graphic. But it's a wake up call to show just how horrible the practice of abortion really is (see link below).
One cannot look at this without being affected and wanting this horrible practice to end!
The problem is we've become desensitized and nothing bothers us anymore. Our sense of responsibility has gone. And it's a shame when another innocent life has to suffer at the expense of our actions.
What is amazing and also astonishing to me is that some babies survive the attempt on their lives! I would say this qualifies as attempted murder. Yet, abortion is legal in this country.
Why are we not raising our voices against abortion instead of against the government when someone is scheduled to die for a heinous crime they committed? We owe it to the future of our nation.
Precious, innocent life has been tossed aside like trash.
And I ask you, "will you stay the executions of the unborn?".
