Life Matters 2-11-13

A week or so back I posted a link to a Newsbuster’s piece from Brent Bozell titled  The Abortionist Saints of Sundance.

As you’ll recall, it involved a newly debuted pro-abortion film aimed at glamorizing the people who do late term abortions. One of the so-called doctors in the film, LeRoy Carhart, the one who was especially over the top in his rhetoric, is now back in the news again. But this time there’s no Hollywood glamour and embellishments, just stark reality. You cannot hide the ugliness of what these people do, or the victims of it. 

From The SusanB.AnthonyList

“This morning Operation Rescue and the Maryland Coalition for Life announced that yesterday a woman died from complications after undergoing a late-term, 33-week abortion at the hands of the infamous abortionist, LeRoy Carhart, in Germantown, Maryland.”

“The woman, who came for a third trimester abortion from out-of-state,  arrived at GRHC on Sunday and was seen by pro-life activists every day  through Wednesday.  Witnesses said she appeared “pale and weak.”

Early Thursday morning, the woman began suffering chest pain and  other discomforts.  Her attempts to reach Carhart were unsuccessful. The  woman was taken by her family from her hotel to a nearby hospital  emergency room at approximately 5:00 a.m.  Efforts by hospital staff to  contact Carhart or get informational assistance from the abortion clinic  were unsuccessful.

The patient suffered massive internal bleeding into her abdominal  cavity.  She slipped into a Code Blue condition approximately six times  before finally succumbing to her injuries at around 9:30 a.m.  The case  has been placed with the Medical Examiner for further investigation.”

And this is not an isolated incident either.

And possibly even more disturbing is recent news out of New Jersey. This is troubling to say the least. Let’s hope Gov. Christie vetoes the snot out of it should it survive the State Senate.

From NYCBSLocal

“The New Jersey State Assembly has voted in favor of physician-assisted suicide.

The measure passed by a vote of 7-2 with two abstentions.

The Death with Dignity Act would allow terminally ill patients to be prescribed medication that would end their lives.

Under the measure, the lethal medication would only be made available to patients who are told by two doctors that they have six months or less to live.”

  1. Most of us want to die peacefully, and the temptation to do it ourselves is out there. And in the cases where the person is virtually brain dead, it seems so much kinder to just help them on. But we are not in the position to make that call. Now that the door has opened, it won’t be shut.

  2. The problem is, you don’t know how God will use the “lingering” death. It may not have anything to do with the “heart” of the dying person and everything to do with the people around them–as they make their peace with perhaps the dying individual or something else in their lives.

    God works in strange and mysterious ways.
