Devaluing Women & Dehumanizing Their Babies
The Supreme Court of the United States of America handed down a decision yesterday that devalues women and further advances abortion culture. A pervasive undercurrent of seeing people as disposable leads to more devaluing women and dehumanizing their babies.
Devaluing Women & Dehumanizing their Babies
The smallest and most vulnerable have long been subject to dehumanization, not unlike the African-Americans before emancipation and the Jewish in Germany, Poland and France etc., prior to World War II.
US culture has gone through a lot of changes, from women’s suffrage to income inequality. The status of women is very high in the US, when compared to the status of women in many other countries. Women enjoy freedoms that are completely inaccessible in other countries, especially in the middle east and many parts of Africa now. Even in the case of rape, we have options.
Abortion is the brutal killing of the youngest, smallest, and most vulnerable human beings. Babies die in abortion facilities. That is what they are there for. Women are wounded there, as well. It is a surgical procedure that opens a woman’s uterus and tears her baby into pieces, leaving her bleeding and her uterus open and vulnerable to infection.
Women expect standards of medical practice in abortion facilities. They think there will be compassionate care. The experience feels compassionate. They think it will be an answer to their perceived problem. Women expect it to be clean and only sterile instruments will enter into their bodies. They believe that everyone there, cares about them and will practice the high standard of practice that US Healthcare have been known for all over the world.
Terror of Abortion
The Supreme Court’s message is not unlike the message of ISIS. How can I say that? Women can enter abortion facilities that are not subject to standards of other outpatient surgical centers. Your veterinarian’s facility will be subject to higher regulations.
Are women are expendable? Don’t you think women deserve the standard regulations of care that animals get?
Even before women’s suffrage women held a more treasured place in society. Men were taught to protect them, provide for them, and although they were not treated as goddesses, they were still better off that most of the women of Islam today.
The illegal immigrants bring their culture into our communities. Their culture, and not ours, is what they know. Not having been through our process for becoming a legal resident, they may not enter into a social contract with us. Many don’t know or care to know what our standards of behavior are.
When you couple the SCOTUS and ISIS together, the results are sure to be disastrous for women and their pre-born children. It’s just one small step to forced abortion. We are already being manipulated by the largest abortion vendors. They are present in our schools and welcomed into the White House.
The killing centers are in poor neighborhoods. People, like Abby Johnson, Catherine Adair, Jayne Werbrich have spoken about their experiences working in the abortion industry. Others, like David Deliden and Lila Rose, have recorded video and audio of the abortion vendor’s practices. The abortion industry does not care about people at all. They are looking for the dollars. Abortion centers are in the poorest neighborhoods to destroy them, not help them. The people in these places are often deceived and blind to what they are doing.
Where’s the Church?
Our churches place more emphasis on sexual purity than the sanctity of human lives. Too many girls and women get abortions. Many Christians are more afraid to be pregnant in their community than they are of killing their own child and the consequences are grave.
What can we do? Get involved in some capacity.
- Support a pregnancy center with your time and / or resources.
- Look for ways to destigmatize pregnancy by honoring women with baby showers in your community.
- Contact legislators about bills affecting life and death, your state has a watchdog organization.
- Stand at the gates of the killing centers to offer hope and help.
- Go to rallies.
- Talk with friends.
- Ask your pastor and youth leader to talk about it.
- Contact me for more help.
There is a push for the extension of the killing to disabled, elderly and infirm. Again, the weakest and most vulnerable of our communities are being specifically targeted. Many cannot always speak up for themselves. They need US. They need you and me to amplify their voices, to be engaged in valiant love on their behalf.
In some twist of the human psyche, we are devaluing women and dehumanizing their babies. We assign utilitarian value to people and label them according to arbitrary, subjective standards. Then, if they don’t meet those standards, care is denied. This ought not be so.
What will you do?
