'Father' sins, baby is executed

'Father' sins, baby is executed

Legal execution of those guilty of heinous murder, is the law of the land, as rooted in our Judeo-Christian heritage. In the past, legal execution of those guilty of high treason, such as the Rosenbergs who sold the secrets of the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union back in the late '40s, was also practiced, although life in prison has been the judgment more recently.

"Legal" execution is carried out daily in the United States, more than a million times yearly. But the victim of said execution is always innocent. A woman is raped, conceiving a child. Who is executed for this crime? Not the rapist. No, the innocent unborn child is executed for the crime of his or her "father". By God's grace, pregnancy in the case of rape is rare, less than 1 percent of women raped. It's a horror when it does happen, a horror used by the pro-abortion community to push legal abortion for any reason throughout pregnancy. The "father" sins; the baby is executed. There is no justice in that.

Crisis pregnancy centers help women and girls who are pregnant but see no way to continue their pregnancy. Carrying that young one (definition of the term "fetus"), is a sacrifice, do doubt about it. But it is a few months in the life of the mother who can then give the child a lifetime to be loved and cherished by adoptive parents. Allowing abortionists to execute these unborn babies, is not the answer. There is help and hope for women who are pregnant but unable to care for a baby. It spares the life of the baby and it also spares the mental health of the mother who has to live with the emotional consequences of having allowed her innocent baby to be executed.
