1. Death Is Not A Choice
By David S. Roberts
This is a difficult subject with emotions running very heavy on both sides of the issue. Many fear to
approach this subject with good reason, few want to take the remain that I will and perform because
of my own deep convictions about this topic. In preparation for this article, several sad truths came to
light. First, there's a deadly contradiction at work in American society. Second, it comes with an
underlying value being overlooked in American society. As well as third, there is a terrible apathy
about this subject in american society. You will not agree with everything I write, and that's alright, I
would simply ask that you listen and open your mind and your heart to the information.
I.There is a deadly Contradiction at Work.
We all saw the headlines. I don't think that there was one of us that wasn't shocked whenever we
heard that Susan smith drove that car into the lake with her children within. She killed them because,
now as a newly divorced mom, they had become inconvenient, disposable because her love life was
suffering. The outrage of the country was immediate, callers to radio stations everywhere demanding
that she be worked the same fate she offered her sons, trapped in a car, at the bottom of a lake.
Or what about Andrea Yates or even Kasey Anthony what person with a quarter of a conscience
didn't scream out, 'God what's happening?' or what about the case of the man charged with vehicular
homicide lots of years ago because the pregnant lady he struck suffered a miscarriage The outcry is
there, a baby is dead and the mom suffers a loss, and the community cries out to cease this kind of
misfortune, but provide that same man the license and a clinic and the baby he just wiped out
becomes just another 'fetus'. And there's NO OUTCRY!
What about the pregnant woman who was charged with, get this, 'reckless endangerment of LIFE'
when she disregarded the judge's orders to quit using medicines and used again?
What about the teenager who had been charged with felony child abandonment, when she left her
newborn child in the garbage bin in an alley?
We all think, how could a mother kill her own child But given the right conditions, not one of these
crimes can be prosecuted because in some cases, the fetus is a baby, as well as in others it's just a
mass of tissue.
There is a deadly contradiction at work here. The debate for abortion used to center around whether
the fetus really was a living human. But the pro-abortion folk lost that discussion in every round, so
the debate has changed focus. If the fetus is human or otherwise is no longer the issue. It's PRO-
CHOICE!
For the woman who wants the woman's unborn child, the man who kills the child, accidentally, is
charged with murder. For the woman who doesn't want the child, she is charged $425 by a man that
kills her child legally. For the Andrea Yates or Kasey Anthonys' of the world, they are considered
monsters, for the lady emerging from the abortion clinic, she is a hero of liberal causes. There is also
a deadly contradiction in the news media, (surprised?) we all heard about the Florida abortion doctor
who was gunned lower in his home, it was on 24/7 until the killer had been caught and jailed. What

2. percentage of us heard about the Pro-Choice advocate who stormed into a church service one
sunday and gunned down the Pro-Life Minister? Where was that on the news? Or how about the
woman who bled in order to death within hours of her abortion from the very clinic that the doctor who
was gunned down worked within. What about the woman who was dismissed from her job at US
West for wearing a pro-life pin to operate Was there any protection of that? Outside of locally, no
there was not. Did you hear any kind of news of the prayer team who were meeting outside a good
abortion clinic who were outdone by police as they lay on the ground? Or about the van that
deliberately and gradually ran over the pro-life activists, trying to deliver a woman to obtain an
abortion?
What concerning the complaints from abortion treatment centers to the billboards being built near
their places associated with business that show a picture of a murdered unborn child. Pro-Choice
promoters call them "tacky, in bad taste, and offensive". In other words, as long as what we are doing
in here is not visible to the naked eye, then it's legal, guarded and acceptable. But how dare you
show other people what we should do! Do any of these cases sound familiar to you, heard about
them in the media? No, and you will not because as anyone with half the brain knows now-a-days,
the media has an agenda almost all their own.
But think of it, when it is option that determines whether an action is murder or acceptable, then we
have eliminated any standard of correct and wrong. Choice doesn't make the determination of life
versus. NOn-life, life is life regardless, the choice is in the taking of that life and that is not one that we
have the right to make. This particular brings us to our 2nd truth.
II.There is definitely an Underlying Value being overlooked.
Life is important to lord. From the life of the unborn baby to the life of the retired person, life is
important to God.
Psalm 139:13-15
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I
am fearfully and wonderfully made; your functions are wonderful, I know that complete well. My frame
was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place."
Jeremiah 1:4-5
"The word of the lord came to me saying, "prior to I formed you in the womb I knew a person, before
you were born i set you apart; i appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
In reading these and other passages, we view that life is important to lord, including the life of the
unborn baby, whom God knows, who God forms, whom lord can set apart. But in this country, choice
has become God. We are ignoring a standard God Himself set. Whenever we ignore the value of life
in support of choice, the choice then needs to extend to the the children who're born, but who turn out
to be hard to manage, to seniors parents who become not capable of fending for themselves, and to
the handicapped who don't "bring about our society".
And if you feel that this sounds cruel, or even farfetched, listen a moment. In the Netherlands, where
abortion is and has been socially acceptable for more years than it has been here, they passed a
euthanasia law allowing individuals to kill themselves if they therefore wish. But today, in the

3. netherlands, doctors in emergency rooms are given the option of whether to take the time and efforts
trying to conserve a life, as a matter of truth they have issued little cards much like our organ
contributor cards that say essentially, "please don't let me die, attempt to save me." If an incident
victim does not have that card, the doctors make that person's final determination as to whether they
will live or die. And it was just ten years ago that they introduced a regulation that would allow parents
of any child born blind, deaf, retarded, or severely handicapped to decide if that child should be
allowed to live, or left to starve in order to death alone in an isolation ward.
CHOICE HAS BECOME god ! Now it's no longer a problem whether the life is human or otherwise,
now it's a matter of the parents', a doctors', the stressed out adult child's word, and a life can be
lawfully discarded as if it had been trash.
With respect for life is really scarce, no wonder we've got children killing kids just to observe what it
would feel like.
You might say, Dave, how about the arguments the pro-abortion people use? Is the fetus human?
Well, the bible says so, and for me that is good enough. But for those of you who can't accept the
Bible, what about Science? technology says so too. Life is defined as that which has ability to
reproduce itself, and from the moment of conception, when each cell divides and reproduces, that's
life.
Some use the "it's my body" argument against ending abortion, when in actuality, it's not the woman's
body. The child is incorporated in the woman's body, but is actually distinct and separate from the
woman, often having a various blood type than the lady. This is not a procedure to remove a tumor, it
is a violent behave of murder upon a good innocent human infant. But let's just say this isn't the case
that the infant really is part of her entire body. We don't allow a woman to inject illegal drugs into her
body. We don't permit her to sell her entire body in prostitution, except in Vegas, so that shouldn't
really surprise anyone. So if we don't give a woman a right to do these things, how can she need the
right to murder her unborn child under the guise of "it is her body".
It is a false debate entirely.
But Dave, in ways, what about the children who are delivered handicapped. Wouldn't their "quality of
life " mean anything to you? let me answer you this way, when the right of another person to live
comes down to the judgment of their contribution to society, or even their comprehension as to the
globe around them, then all of us open the floodgates with regard to increase moral disintegration.
There are many healthy, sane people who only contribution to our society is in raising their children
right, i would say that is a great contribution to society. We would not have the inspirational stories
associated with Helen Keller, Ray Charles, or any other handicapped individual who might not have
contributed like Keller or Charles but perhaps they've value because life is important to God. And He
values all of them.
But let's use this same logic. Shouldn't we then as was done in the movie, Logan's Run, set an age
limit up to which one may live? In the movie age was 30, now, composing as a 40 year old, i would
object to this policy, but let's say set it at 65. After all, they are done operating then, so therefore
cannot lead any more to society. So that all Senior Citizens upon reaching 65 years of age will be

4. humanely offer sleep, medical costs would plummet, Social Security could be saved, but what with
regard to and nursing homes would no longer be a necessity.
Sound heartless? life is life, whether it is the unborn child, or the retiree. And a woman no more has
the moral to the choice to end her unborn child's life than i have to end hers, yours, or anyone else's.
Is the unborn baby a life? Consider these facts :
The unborn child has a heart beat by the 18th day.
The unborn child's brain begins to function at 40 days.
The unborn child breathes, techniques and sleeps.
The unborn child grows, hiccups, and sucks his thumb.
The unborn child is operated on to correct defects which is how they learned that the actual unborn
child feels pain.
The unborn child is fully formed before the mother even knows she is pregnant.
The unborn child can survive outside the womb at 20 weeks and with current technology improving,
that number will get pushed back to 19,eighteen
Abortions can be performed on these unborn children up to as soon as of their birth. Most people
aren't aware of what happens in an abortion, and though not pleasant, the truth is you've been lied to
as to the normalcy and ease of this process. Abortion is a violent, harmful procedure. I will not explain
the methods used, I choose to not.
What I will describe to you are the saddest cases, the babies who are not desired, but are too
developed to be murdered without risk to the mother. They induce work, and the child is left alone in a
room separate in the viewing room at the medical center. They are allowed to starve to death, some
who are as well developed are taken part way out of the womb as the 'doctor' strangles the life from
the child, which upon passing away, is discarded in the garbage.
III.There is a terrible Apathy poisoning our Culture.
There is a terrible apathy poisoning our culture. We've got people heading all out for all causes. There
is a car driving around Kissimmee with loads of bumper peel off stickers on the back, among them
tend to be, "Save the Whales", "conserve the Manatees", "Meat is Murder" and finally, "I election Pro-
Choice". In other words, save everything but the humans!
We possess people devoting time and energy to leads to like saving the whale stuck in the ice
circulation, save the polar has from global warming, bring back the actual red M&M, but very few are
even trying to stop the murder of children !
And the most tragic some of it all is that there is a horrible apathy among Christians in regards to this
subject. We think that there's nothing that we can do since the problem is too big. But that's incorrect,
there's a lot we can perform. If you choose to picket an abortion clinic, that's legitimate, otherwise
legal. If you choose to pray concerning the situation, that where our power comes from. Maybe you
supports a pro-life organization monetarily, that's another choice.
But the only most important thing you can do only requires a few moments of your time. And that is,
you are able to vote Pro-Life. Disagree with me if you wish, what issue is more important than the life
of an unborn child Security of our nation? just how long do you think we will stay safe if we keep

5. offending God by the murdering of the innocent? Romans 1:32 makes it clear that those who give
approval to sinners for committing sin, are just as guilty as individuals committing the sin. So the next
time you go to vote for the lesser of two evils, or for your union work and the candidate is for the
actual murder of human babies, just imagine yourself with your hands wrapped around the neck of
the newborn, who came along along with just bad timing, because your vote for a pro-abortion
prospect is exactly the same as approving, even committing the act of abortion.
When I saw my child born 9 weeks prematurely struggling to breathe, with wires coming out from just
about all angles, I knew which no one would ever have the ability to tell me that abortion would be a
choice any longer. Her hands were almost as thick as a crayola marker, your woman was almost six
lbs, and she was the biggest baby in the neo-natal ICU. Other peoples' arms were thinner than the
usual #2 pencil, tubes stuck down their throats allowing them to breathe, I watched since the nurses
pricked heels to draw blood and the expression on the faces of the infants in pain.
I do not believe that anyone after seeing the size of a premature baby or one of those new 3D
imaging sonograms, I do not believe that anyone having seen that can still be for abortion without
surrendering their mankind in the process. The question is now what will you do about it, because
death Is Not a Choice.
