"On January 22, 1973, The United States Supreme Court legalized abortion on demand. The decision is called Roe vs. Wade. We call it Death Roe. About one fourth of our generation has already been wiped out, and the executions continue at the rate of over 3,000 a day. If you were born after that date, you are one of the lucky ones. You are a Death Roe Survivor."
If it's one thing I have learned as the mother of a teen and a "twenty-something," it's that this generation of young people are "truth-seekers." They see through facades, and flippant excuses. Tragically, some in the quest, are sidelined by predators and those who would take advantage, reducing a once burning pursuit for truth to a dim, faint flicker. But the strong push through.
These are the members of this demographic alliance who grab hold of purpose and become the warriors of their generation. Often edgy and raw, their lack of a "front" can seem offensive at first, but they don't worry about "fitting in" - they are on a mission . . . a mission of truth. This is the nature of the "Death Roe Survivors." A band of brothers and sisters who see the harsh reality that 3,000 lives-per-day murdered because of "choice" is not freedom, but severe bondage. They are lifting up their voices now, for those who don't yet have a voice - but who DO have feelings, life and a purpose.
Life Dynamics Incorporated's (LDI) DeathRoe.com website, is a networking and information hub for these Survivors, and others whose hearts have been broken over the sad acceptance of abortion. The site is laden with raw facts, sobering, real photos and a wealth of information for the truth-seeker.
Here abortion is told exactly as it is. Survivors tell their stories and arm themselves with knowledge in the battle against deadly myths. On one page alarming comparisons to the Nazi Holocaust are revealed while on another, the rate at which black babies are aborted is paralleled with the atrocity of America's past history of lynching.
According to another LDI website, "every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history.
Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent."
The "Pro-life Answers" section on DeathRoe.com contains excellent responses to "pro-choice" questions. Below is one example:
Q: The issue is who decides, the woman or the state. It's about freedom of choice.
A: The abortion lobby has always realized that abortion itself is indefensible. This has forced them to argue that whether abortion is the deliberate killing of a living human being or not, is unrelated to the question of whether it should be legal. In short, they have to divert attention toward the philosophical concepts of "choice" and "who decides" because they can't afford for the public to look at what's being chosen and decided.
To imply that the issue is not abortion, but choice, is to say that what's being chosen is irrelevant. That is clearly illogical given that all choices are not equal. Choosing whether to buy a new car is vastly different than choosing whether to produce child pornography, and the morality of those choices is not affected by the eventual decision. However, the pro-choice position is that abortion becomes acceptable simply by the act of choosing to do it.
Defenders of slavery also used this same strategy. During the 1858 Abraham Lincoln- Stephen Douglas debates, Douglas said he did not support outlawing slavery, saying, "I am now speaking of rights under the Constitution, and not of moral or religious rights. I do not discuss the morals of the people favoring slavery, but let them settle that matter for themselves. I hold that the people who favor slavery are civilized, that they bear consciences, and that they are accountable to God and their posterity and not to us. It is for them to decide therefore the moral and religious right of the slavery question for themselves within their own limits."
Just substitute the word abortion every place the word slavery appears, and this statement perfectly defines the pro-choice position in America today. Lincoln's response to Douglas' pro-choice position on slavery was, "He cannot say that he would as soon see a wrong voted up as voted down. When Judge Douglas says whoever, or whatever community, wants slaves, they have a right to them, he is perfectly logical if there is nothing wrong in the institution; but if you admit that it is wrong, he cannot logically say that anybody has a right to do a wrong."
Lincoln recognized that there is nothing intrinsically noble about the concept of choice, and that there are choices which a society cannot allow the individual to make.
The fact is, before one can rightly claim that the issue is "choice" or "who decides," he or she must first examine what's being chosen. If it's what color shoes to wear, that's one thing; if it's whether to kill another human being, that's another. Except in self-defense, the decision about whether one human being can kill another one cannot be left up to the individual who wants to do the killing.
