American Minute with Bill Federer
The Sanctity of Life - "The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion"-Mother Teresa
|
|
"I never have felt that any abortion should be committed -- I think each abortion is the result of a series of errors," stated former
President Jimmy Carter
He continued the interview on his book,
Our Enduring Values-America's Moral Crisis,
November 3, 2005, at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Washington, DC:
"I have always thought it was not in the mainstream of the American public to be extremely liberal on many issues. I think our party's leaders ... are overemphasizing the abortion issue."
|
|
Former President Carter
added:
"I've never been convinced, if you let me inject my Christianity into it, that Jesus Christ would approve abortion."
|
|
Jesus, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke, was
in his mother's womb from the moment of conception:
"The angel ... came to Mary and said ... Behold, y
ou will conceive in your womb
and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus ...
The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also
that holy thing which shall be born of thee
shall be called
the Son of God."
|
|
Luke
continued:
"'And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also
conceived a son;
and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren' ...
When Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary,
the babe leaped in her womb."
|
|
Other Scriptures testify that a baby in the womb is a living person:
Genesis 25:21-23
"And Rebekah his wife conceived. And
the children struggled together within her;
and she said, If it be so, why am I thus?
And she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said unto her,
Two nations are in thy womb,
and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger."
|
|
Jeremiah 1:5
"Before
I formed you in the womb
I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Isaiah 49:1,5
"The LORD
called me from the womb,
from the body of my mother he named my name ...
he who formed me from the womb
to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him."
|
|
Galatians 1:15
"He who had set
me apart before I was born,
and who called me by his grace."
Psalm 139:13-15
"You did
form my inward parts,
you
knit me together in my mother's womb
...
you knew me
right well; my frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret."

Abortion
became legal in all nine months of pregnancy on JANUARY 22, 1973, with the Supreme Court
Roe v. Wade
and
Doe v. Bolton
decisions.
|
|
Norma McCorvey,
who was the
"Jane Roe"
in the
Roe v. Wade
suit, was interviewed 23 years later by
USA Today.
She stated that once, while employed at a clinic when no one was in:
"I went into the procedure room and laid down on the table ... trying to imagine what it would be like having an abortion ... I broke down and cried."
|
|
On
ABC's World News Tonight,
Norma McCorvey
said:
"I think abortion's wrong. I think what I did with Roe v. Wade was wrong."
|
|
Proverbs 6
states: "The Lord hates ... hands that
shed innocent blood."
|
|
2 Kings 21
"Manasseh ...
sacrificed his own son in the fire
... The Lord said ... 'Manasseh king of Judah has committed these
detestable sins
... Therefore ... I am going to bring such disaster' ...
... Manasseh also
shed so much innocent blood
that he filled Jerusalem from end to end."
|
|
2 Chronicles 33:33
"Manasseh ... did that which was
evil in the sight of the Lord,
like unto the
abominations of the heathen,
whom
the Lord had cast out
before the children of Israel."
|
|
Leviticus 20
"Anyone ... who
sacrifices his child
as a burnt offering to
Molech
...
I myself will turn against that man
...
And if the people of the land
pretend they do not know
what the man has done ... then
I myself will set my face against that man and his family."
Proverbs 24:11-12
"R
escue those who are unjustly sentenced to death;
don't stand back
and let them die.
Don't try to disclaim responsibility
by saying
you didn't know about it."
|
|
When
Cain killed Abel,
the Lord asked him:
"What hast thou done? the voice of
thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground."
|
|
If
the blood of the innocent cries out
for judgement, how loud is the
shedding of 60 million innocent unborn babies
in the United States since 1973, in addition to an estimated
one billion abortions globally?
|
|
The largest single group affected are
African-Americans,
as nearly
20 million black babies
have been
aborted
since
Roe v. Wade.
|
|
Alveda King,
niece of civil rights leader
Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
founded the
National Black Pro-Life Coalition.
She told CNSNews.com (Dec. 5, 2016):
"Abortion
is ... designed for population control ... The numbers are
higher
in the
African American community,
so that's certainly
black genocide
...
|
|
...
We also discovered that
once black people are made aware
of the
genocidal eugenics by abortion
that the community will
speak out."
|
|
The founder of Planned Parenthood,
Margaret Sanger,
made many racist statements:
"Elimination of 'human weeds'
... overrunning the human garden ... and for the
sterilization
of
genetically inferior races."
"The purpose of the
American Baby Code
shall be to provide for a better distribution of babies ... and
to protect society against
the propagation and increase of
the unfit."
"Feeble minded persons
... and others found
biologically unfit
by authorities
...
should be sterilized
or, in cases of doubt, should be so isolated as to
prevent the perpetuation
of their afflictions
by breeding."
"No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child ...
without a permit."
|
|
Margaret Sanger's
Birth Control Review
(April 1933) published an article by
Nazi advisor Ernst Rudin,
one of the
"fathers of racial hygiene,"
who wanted to
eliminate inferior mankind -- "untermensch."
|
|
Former Senator Zel Miller
stated in 2007:
"Here is the brutal truth that no one dares to mention:
We're too few because too many of our
babies have been killed.
Over 45 millions since
Roe v. Wade
in 1973 ...
It is not a proper fate for a human being made in God's image."
|
|
The
Hippocratic Oath,
up until recent times,
was taken by all medical practitioners:
"I swear ... I will use those dietary regimens which will benefit my patients according to my greatest ability and judgement, and I will do no harm or injustice to them.
I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly
I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.
In purity and according to
divine law
will I carry out my life and my art."
|
|
President Donald J. Trump,
the first sitting President to address the thousands who gathered for the annual
March for Life,
stated January 20, 2018:
"The March for Life
is a movement born out of
love ... You love every child, born and unborn,
because you believe that
every life is sacred,
that every child is
a precious gift from God.
We know that
life is the greatest miracle of all.
We see it in the eyes of every new mother who cradles that wonderful, innocent, and glorious newborn child in her loving arms ...
|
|
... Because of you, tens of thousands of Americans have been
born
and reached their full,
God-given potential
- because of you.
As you all know,
Roe vs. Wade
has resulted in some of the most permissive abortion laws anywhere in the world ...
The
United States,
it's one of only seven countries to allow
elective late-term abortions,
along with
China, North Korea,
and others.
Right now, in a number of states, the laws allow
a baby to be torn from his or her mother's womb in the ninth month.
It is
wrong;
it
has to change ..."
|
|
President Trump
continued:
"Americans
are
more and more pro-life.
You see that all the time. In fact,
only 12 percent
of Americans
support abortion on demand
at any time.
Under my administration,
we will always defend
the very first right in the Declaration of Independence, and that is
the right to life ...
During my first week in office, I reinstated a policy first put in place by President Ronald Reagan, the Mexico City policy.
I strongly supported the House of Representative's Pain-Capable bill, which would
end painful, late-term abortions
nationwide ... I call upon the Senate to pass this important law and send it to my desk for signing ..."
|
|
Trump
concluded:
"Today, I'm announcing that we have just issued a new proposal to
protect conscience rights and religious freedoms of doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals. So important.
I have also just reversed the previous administration's policy that restricted states' efforts to direct Medicaid
funding away from abortion facilities that violate the law.
We are protecting the sanctity of life
and the family as the
foundation of our society ..."
That is why we march. That is why
we pray.
And that is why we declare that America's future will be filled with goodness, peace, joy, dignity, and life
for every child of God."

Exodus 20:13 "Thou shalt not commit murder."
|

Mother Teresa of Calcutta
stated at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., February 3, 1994, with Bill and Hillary Clinton in attendance:
"The
greatest destroyer of peace
today is
abortion,
because it is a war against the child, a direct
killing of the innocent child,
murder by the mother herself,
and if we accept that
a mother can kill even her own child,
how can we tell other people not to kill one another? ..."
|
|
Mother Teresa
added:
"Any country that accepts
abortion
is not teaching its people to love, but to
use violence
to get what they want.
That is why
the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion ...
Many people are also concerned about all the violence in this great country of the United States ...
But often these same people are not concerned with the
millions who are being killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers ...
|
|
...
Jesus
said,
'Anyone who receives a child in my name, receives me'
... By
aborting a child,
a couple
refuses to receive Jesus.
Please don't kill the child
... Give me the child. I am willing ... to give that child to a married couple who will love the child and be loved by the child ...
From our children's home in Calcutta alone, we have saved over 3,000 children from abortion ...
America can become a sign of peace ..."
|
|
Mother Teresa
concluded:
"From here, a sign of care for
the weakest of the weak -- the unborn child
-- must go out to the world ... then really you will be true to what the founders of this country stood for."
|
|
The greatness of America is in how it treats its weakest members: the elderly, the infirm, the handicapped, the underprivileged, the unborn.
Ronald Reagan
wrote in his article, "Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation," The Human Life Review, 1983:
"Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should be slaves ...
Likewise,
we cannot survive as a free nation
when some men decide that others
are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion."
|
|
Proverbs 13:22 states: "A good man leaves an inheritance
to his children's children."
|
|
The Preamble of the U.S. Constitution,
1787, states:
"We the people of the United States, in order to ...
secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and
our posterity,
do ordain and establish this Constitution."
|
|
If the Constitution is to "secure the blessings of liberty" to
"our posterity,"
then the
unborn need to be protected.
|
|
Ambassador Alan Keyes
stated in a Virginia high school assembly, February 28, 2000:
"How does it
secure the blessings of liberty
to
our posterity,
to those
generations yet unborn,
to kill them,
aborting them in the womb?"
|
|
Those who fought in the Revolution were willing to sacrifice their prosperity for
their posterity,
pledging their lives and their fortunes.
Colonel William Prescott
who fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill, stated in August of 1774:
"Our forefathers passed the vast Atlantic, spent their blood and treasure, that they might enjoy their liberties, both civil and religious, and
transmit them to their posterity ...
Now if we should give them up, can
our children
rise up and call us blessed?"
|
|
Dr. Joseph Warren
, who died in the Battle of Bunker Hill, wrote in the Suffolk Resolves, September of 1774:
"That it is an indispensable duty which we owe to God, our country, ourselves and
posterity ..
. to maintain, defend and preserve those civil and religious rights and liberties, for which many of our fathers fought, bled and died, and to hand them down entire
to future generations."
|
|
Theodore Roosevelt
stated March 4, 1905:
"If we fail, the cause of free self-government throughout the world will rock to its foundations, and therefore
our responsibility is heavy,
to ourselves, to the world as it is today, and
to the generations yet unborn."
|
|
George Washington
wrote in his Orders, July 2, 1776:
"The fate of unborn millions
will now depend,
under God, on the courage and conduct of this army
... We have, therefore to resolve to conquer or die."
|
|
Psalm 127:3
"Behold,
children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward."
