Abortion Doctor Found Guilty of Murdering Newborn Infants With Scissors

Score one for the moral law of God.  Of course, in this case. Kermit Gosnell was found guilty of violating criminal law.  The criminal law of the United States of America allows for a doctor to kill a human baby if the baby is still inside the womb.  After the baby is born it is illegal to kill a living and breathing baby.  The jury in this case saw the truth and Gosnell was found guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.

Unfortunately, this case points to the "paradox" of murder.  Killing the unborn in the womb is not murder, while killing the baby seconds after it is born is murder.  Logic and propositional truth would require that this contradiction be resolved in the United States Supreme Court.  (2 Corinthians 4:2; John 17:17).  Of course, for those judges committed to irrationalism and relativistic moral law this will make no difference.  Truth for them is whatever suits their fancy at the moment.  (Isaiah 5:20; 8:20) Democratic freedoms cannot long endure when godless men and women sit in judgment on the lives of the unborn who are created in the image and likeness of God.  God alone has the authority to give and take human life.  The sacrifice of the unborn child to the idols of convenience and the government's endorsement of a Machiavellian right to choose is nothing more than outright rebellion against God.  (Exodus 20:13 KJV).

Scotty Becomes a Vulcan: Logic Requires that We Recognize the Humanity of the Unborn




Over at the Heidelblog Mr. Scott has come to his logical senses, if only briefly.  It looks like the woman's right to choose is not a paradox after all.  In fact, killing an unborn "fetus" is a matter of deontological and apodeictic moral law.  Without logical propositions there is no possibility for knowledge in general, and there is no possibility for morality in general or in particular.  R. Scott Clark nails down the logical reasons that we ought to reject the infanticide we call abortion.  Of course, religious, political and philosophical liberals are not bound by the laws of logic or by the moral law of God as it is revealed in Holy Scripture.  (Exodus 20:1-17; Romans 3:20; 7:7).  Van Tilians love to exploit the idea that logic is a creation of God rather than the very architecture of the ontological being of God.  John 1:1 makes the logical propositional truth claim that "God is Logic."  If only R. Scott Clark were consistently logical!  His comments below are apropriate:

What of those humans who are killed, in utero, before viability? I’ve had this discussion with some ardent pro-abortion types in recent months. They seek to deny that humanity is inherent to pre-natal humans and they seek to make the humanity of the pre-natal infant contingent upon the will of the mother. This is the Nietzschean “will to power.” As a matter of fact and logic, humans conceive, gestate, and give birth to humans. We don’t magically become human at 23 or 24 weeks of gestation. We were human before viability and we are human afterward. Remember that viability is a shifting standard that depends on technological developments. So, logically, viability is an arbitrary standard. Human life develops organically.  (See:  Heidelblog:  Killing Infants Is A Crime).

If there are two or more kinds of logic, then logic would itself be contradictory.  The problem with R. Scott Clark and other Van Tilians is that they contend that logic means something different for God and for men.  That is, truth and logic are two-fold.  Nothing we know as creatures is the same thing God knows.  But here Van Tilians beg the question.  As Arthur Holmes once said, "All truth is God's truth."  So if we as creatures know anything that is true, it logically follows that God as an omniscient and personal Being knows that same truth as we know it.  Of course, God knows much more than we know as creatures.  But if we know anything at all that is true, then on that single proposition God knows that same truth.  My point being that if we know that killing unborn human babies is murder, God knows that exact same logical proposition and thus God and man know the exact same proposition univocally.  (Exodus 20:13 KJV).  Truth is not up for negotiation via the doctrine of theological or moral paradox.  That view is the view of neo-orthodoxy and liberalism, not biblical Christianity.  Scott Clark ought to come clean and admit that Van Til's theology is ambiguous and contradictory.


The real question here is whether or not humans are merely "carbon units" and fetuses while in the womb or are they human beings who are created in the image and likeness of God?  Since God is sovereign and gives life at His sovereign will, it logically follows that humans should not usurp the place of God by claiming to have the power of life and death over the most vulnerable human beings of all:  unborn infants.  (Exodus 20:3 KJV; Psalm 82:6-8 KJV).

Eugenics and Universal Healthcare: Article | First Things

For those of you who are touting the success of Obama's new universal healthcare plan, you might want to consider that Australia has universal healthcare.  Unfortunately, they are still trying to cut healthcare costs by other means than simply requiring everyone to pay their own fair share.  Guess how?  You got it.  Eugenics and abortion.  Apparently, Philip C. Burcham and his American wife have a baby daughter who has a bone disease where osteoporosis is inherited.  When Mr. Burcham and his wife were referred to a specialist they thought they were going to receive expert treatment for their daughter.  What happened instead was that the doctor and the nurse wanted to recommend abortion if Burcham's wife ever became pregnant again:

“If that is the case,” the doctor replied, turning toward me, “we will need to obtain blood samples from some members of your extended family to allow DNA testing.” Fearing my family might be reluctant to participate in a research project, I naively asked why the genetic data was required. Waving a dismissive hand toward our daughter, who until this point had tried her darndest to win the doctor’s attention with coy smiles and giggles, this gifted physician who knew so much about the disease abruptly replied, “We want to ensure you don’t have another one of those!”

My emotions now resembled those of Hansel and Gretel at the point of their rude awakening in the famous fairy tale. Like the sugary treats fastened to the witch’s cottage, the saccharine assurances from the ER staff that this doctor was keen to help OI patients had obscured his intentions: They had brought us to a eugenicist who wished to push any of my future OI-affected offspring into the oven.

My wife had awoken to the same reality, and in one of the most galvanizing moments of our marriage, with firm voice she informed the doctor that she would never consider aborting a child within her womb. We were promptly shooed from the room.

‘Doonesbury’ creator Garry Trudeau discusses divisive strips about abortion - The Washington Post

[It looks like Garry Trudeau has outdone himself. He has taken it upon himself to attack the Bible belt and the Christian right once again. Communist propaganda is popular these days.  I generally try to stay away from political issues on the blog.  I do that mostly on Facebook.  But this one is a moral issue that is strictly forbidden in the sixth commandment:  Thou shalt not murder.  (Exodus 20:13).  And did you notice that honoring one's parents is higher on the list in the Decalogue?  Yes, honoring one's parent is commandment number five.  (Exodus 20:12).    Looks like procreation and holy matrimony are important in the divine order of things.  Charlie]

'The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb': Controversial anti-abortion billboard taken down | Mail Online


Odd that freedom of speech only applies to the propaganda of the state religion of atheism, secularism, and the anti-Christian suppression of freedom of religion. What is even more disturbing is that liberal African-Americans are now labeling theologically conservative African-Americans like Reverend Stephen Broden as "borderline" racist.
