In Florida, sand as
white as snow curls up the Gulf Coast from Naples north to the panhandle area
with some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet. People come from all
over the world to visit these beaches and bask in the brilliant Florida sun and
fish and swim in the calm and clear Gulf waters. But there is one thing these
folks and all folks had better not do while visiting these beaches. If they do
not want to wind up in jail they had better not mess around with the sea
turtles. They are on the Endangered Species List and they nest on the beaches.
We have in place in this
country a law called the Endangered
Species Act. Under this act
wildlife considered "endangered" are protected by law from being
killed, maimed or harmed in anyway. There are many good points to this law as
some of our most revered wildlife, like the Bald Eagle, have been saved from
possible extinction. But, what about the "Baby People"? Don't they
count?

The Loggerhead Sea Turtle is one of these protected turtles. It can be found (like
baby people) all over the world. However, its primary habitat is the Florida
coast north to Virginia. It is estimated that these turtles build 67,000 nests
a year along the beaches. The female lays her eggs in the sand and buries them.
After two months they hatch, crawl to the sea and begin their lives. Of all the
hatch-lings maybe 8000 baby turtles survive. They will live close to 60
years.
It is illegal to harm,
harass, or kill any sea turtles, their eggs, or hatchlings. It is also illegal
to import, sell, or transport turtles or their products. It is perfectly legal
to kill baby people who have not been born. In the United States, since Roe vs
Wade was passed in 1973, over 58,000,000 abortions have been performed.
Fifty-eight million baby people have been vanquished from existence, many of
them burned alive via the Saline Abortion method. That extrapolates out to 1,348,837 baby people a
year killed in America.
In 2014 there were 3.93 million births in
the United States. That means that
approximately one out of every four pregnancies in our country results in a life
extinguished. Sea turtles are given every chance to survive with the government
going so far as to put people in prison who might interfere with their
survival. On the other hand, baby people are welcomed into legalized and
sweetly painted extermination camps and, unmercifully and without fanfare or
emotion, eradicated.
Whatever are we doing?
We civilized people have allowed a portion of our past to be destroyed. We are
allowing our present to be vilified by what can only be called a great lie
fabricated as the virtue of "helping" women. We have short circuited
the future of our children and grandchildren by taking away from them the
possibility of another Rembrandt, or a Mozart or a Jonas Salk, or a Martin
Luther King Jr., or even an Abraham Lincoln living among them.
There is a world wide abortion counter that
ticks off the abortions around the world as they happen. Look for yourself.
More than one life a second is being aborted. Genocide of the innocent, living
in and out of the womb, is rampant on planet Earth. Whatever have we wrought?
As the great St. John
Paul II said, “A nation that kills its own children is a nation without hope.”
