Abortion: The Unspoken Jihad
By Matt Spivey
*** begin quote ***
In Arabic, the word “jihad” means “inner struggle,” and for those involved in one particular battle, there is no simple answer and varying perspectives cause, in many cases, violent reactions and repercussions. That word has come to signify the murder of innocence and the demolition of security in a time of worldwide uncertainty. The death toll keeps rising as years keep passing, and fighting in this war guarantees earning the label of “radical,” “extremist,” or “fanatic.” Yet those who do keep fighting are actually trying to save lives. With the 36th year of Roe v. Wade passing today, the war rages on.
*** and ***
Are conservatives really extremists or fanatics by believing all children should be respected in life and raised in love? Maybe some like Sarah Palin are genuine leaders who will guide not only those closest to them, but all Americans, to do what is right, even when it is difficult. January 22 is a dark day for those who believe in God’s gift of life, but maybe the jihad against the unborn can be prevented if facts are made clear, derogatory words are attributed to rightful perpetrators, and we all take more personal responsibility. I don’t think that’s too extreme.

Glad you ignored your then Mother-In-Law’s advice. Even though as a teenager, we’d all like to strangle him. ROFL. I’m sure he’ll make some girl very happy.]

[JR: It's hard to imagine the damage we have done to ourselves by killing all these future potentialities. Perhaps the person who was to cure cancer was killed. Invent something important like the 'pocket fisherman"? Perhaps the person who was to bring peace to the Middle East? Paint the next Mona Lisa? Perhaps the person who was to discover who knows what? A tragic waste. All for convenience for sex "without consequences", but there always are. A sad anniversary! A non-birthday. Dona Nobis Pacem!]
