• Those Pesky Kids ...

  First, let me say that at the end of this blog, you'll fnd a joke.  Because I have to keep things in perspective.
  
  But this story caught my attention regarding the messed up hypocritical society we live in (although, admittedly, it hasn't been "in-shape" in quite a long time!). 
  
  CNN on-line has this story of a doctor who loses his license because - amongst other charges - he and his staff knowingly delivered a live baby after a girl came in and wanted an abortion. 
  
  After being given a medication to start the abortion, the baby was born -- much to everyone's disappointment, ALIVE.  
  

  "The staff began screaming and pandemonium ensued. Sycloria watched in horror and shock as her baby writhed with her chest rising and falling as she breathed."
  A clinic co-owner entered the room and used a pair of shears to cut the baby's umbilical cord, the suit said. She "then scooped up the baby and placed the live baby, placenta and afterbirth in a red plastic biohazard bag, which she sealed, and then threw bag and the baby in a trash can."
  Staff at the clinic did not call 911 or seek medical assistance for Williams or the baby, the suit said. 

  Renelique arrived at the clinic about an hour later and gave Williams a shot to put her to sleep. "She awoke after the procedure and was sent home still in complete shock," the suit said.

  Police were notified of the incident by an anonymous caller who told them the baby was born alive and disposed of."

  So, basically:
  1) We have a doctor being penalized for doing what he can legally do anyway: kill a baby.
  2) We have a woman who is charging - what? - that her doctor messed up?  What did he mess up?  She came in to get rid of her baby for her ...why is she blaming him?
  3) We have courts and police charging a person for doing something he's been paid for legally for a long time.
  
  When did the baby become important to the mother? 
  When did children stop becoming children to the doctor?
  When did "terminating a pregnancy" become murder to the police and courts?
  
  I admit that I don't have answers.  But I does something seem wrong here?  Doesn't it seem the least bit out-of-the-ordinary that America is confused about her desire to be sexually irresponsible and deal with the consequences? 
  
  Chuck Colson wrote: "Abortion rests on the same principle that undergirded the Nazi Holocaust: the idea that some human lives are not worthy of living, that it is morally and legally permissible to snuff them out. In abortion, of course, that applies to unborn babies. But once people accept that principle, it can be applied equally well to other groups. As Francis Schaeffer once wrote, 'If the fetus gets in the way, ditch it. If the old person gets in the way, ditch it. If you get in the way. . .'"
  
  Okay, switch gears:
  
  Valentines Day approaches!  Here's a fun joke you can tell all your friends!
  
  A young man finds the woman of his dreams and asks her to marry him. He tells his mother he wants her to meet his fiance, but he wants to make a bit of a game out of it. He says he'll bring the girl over with two other women and see if his mother can guess which is the one he wants to marry. His mother agrees to the game.
  
  That night, he shows up at his mother's house with three beautiful young ladies. They all sit down on the couch, and everyone has a wonderful evening talking and getting to know each other.
  
  At the end of the evening, the young man asks his mother, 'OK, Mom, which one is the woman I want to marry?'
  
  Without any hesitation at all, his mother replies, 'The one in the middle.'
  
  The young man is astounded. 'How in the world did you figure it out?!'
  
  'Easy,' she says. 'I don't like her.'
  
  Irony can be cruel.
