Abortion Icons

Icon from the Orthodox Christians for Life organization.

I am absolutely appalled at the story of the baby thrown in the garbage at an abortion clinic in Miami. I am so sick to my stomach and I cannot believe that this is what has become normal in our society.If you haven't heard, because what everyone wore to the Grammy's is like way more important to talk about, than I strongly suggest you click the link above and read the article from CBS news.I am so tired of abortion being a method of birth control. All this teaches young people is that they don't need to think responsibly because there are "options".(I'll abbreviate the story for those who don't want to click the link)A teenage girl went to a clinic to have an abortion and ended up going into labor from the meds. They called the Dr. and he didn't show up for over two hours. In the meantime, the girl gives birth to a live baby and the non-licensed clinic owner takes the baby, ties it up in a bio-hazard bag and drops it in the trash can.The best part? Now the girl is SUING the Dr. and the clinic because during the whole Wow! It's a live baby! Let's tie it up in a bag! scenario, the clinic owner dropped the baby on the floor and because she claims to have been forced to watch her baby die, and I'm sure that was traumatic, but really, suing the abortion clinic? And thanks to the liberal judges in this country, she'll probably win. Umm...can someone explain this to me?  She went in to "terminate her pregnancy" and she did.  Why exactly are we giving her money? This is worse than the McDonald's coffee lady, much worse. Her attorney made this statement.

"She came face to face with a human being," Pennekamp said. "And that changed everything."

Yes people! Babies, though yet unborn are, in fact, real human beings! This just proves that many of the pro-choice people really don't think of these aborted babies as real, live babies.The girl stated in an interview that she doesn't "have the resources or maturity to raise a child."  Aren't these things that should be taught before engaging in premarital sex.  I understand things happen, I was a teenager once, too, but what drives me crazy is that an adult, an attorney no less, is actually trying to use that as an excuse to kill a child.I'm sorry, but I am furious about this, I am absolutely sickened. How far along is a woman allowed to be to legally abort anyways?May God have mercy on the souls of the unborn and may their mothers be brought to repentance... I think it's important to note that all sins are forgiven if a person truly repents and my point is not in how or why women have unplanned pregnancies. My frustration is with the way this situation is being handled.Here is an icon a found several years back.*Christ holds a scroll that reads “Let the children come to Me” and gives His blessing*the woman in the bottom left corner is the woman who does not abort; she is an unmarried mother and the child is her cross to bear*next to her is “the blessed family” a husband and wife raising their children together*the medusa like queen is called the “New Herod” which is abortion, the girls bringing their babies to her are (starting with the one with fishnet stockings and pink hair) “love of fornication”, “ignorance”, “carelessness” and “hard-hearted”; they bring their children to her through the doctor depicted directly behind her (notice the money in his pocket)*the angel above the abortion is mourning the souls of the children*Panagia (the milk-giver) is shown nursing the Christ child; St. Stylianos is next to her with a child since he is known to be a protector of children and holds a scroll that reads “protect your children-they are the gift of Christ”*the girl down in the bottom center who is bleeding is one who aborts but repents and prays for the soul of her child; she too will be forgivenThere is a beautiful service for the souls of aborted babies that can be purchased here. I think an the most important thing we can do is help raise awareness on this subject and pray for both the children and women who are victims of this heinous act.
