Let’s Have an Election About Something That Really Matters
April 12, 2011 | Author: Geoffrey Capp |
As we proceed through another election, our fourth in seven years, we hear at the doors and on our televisions Canadians asking why we’re going through a federal election yet again.
The intention of the opposition is that Canadians will judge the behavior of the Conservatives in their “Contempt of Parliament.” The reality is shown in the results… Canadians are fed up and many are saying that they are not following the issues.
In the end, it is not the intention that is important, it is the results.
Another example of the intention not producing the hoped for results is that of approximately 3.3 million innocent Canadian lives snuffed out by abortion since 1969. 3.3 million unborn children extracted prematurely from their mother’s womb during any of the three trimesters of pregnancy, or perhaps even others through infanticide, the new-born abandoned to die over a period of several hours.
Today, we are certain that these unborn children are very much alive throughout the various stages of development in their mother’s womb and that abortion is the termination of innocent life. We also know that women who experience abortion have greater risk of mental and physical health complications.
Where are the human rights activists when these murders occur? Why is parliament forbidden to even discuss abortion? Why are grandmothers, like Linda Gibbons, sent to jail for peacefully counseling women to prevent the murder of their child while the abortionists are allowed to continue?
Recent polls now suggest that the majority affirm the truth, that the unborn child is precisely that, a child. Just ask the abortionists who use forceps to tear the child into pieces as they extract him from the womb limb by limb: barbaric murder which inflicts horrific pain on the innocent and defenseless child.
The scripted response is, “The intention of abortion is to allow women the ‘right’ to control their own reproductive organs, not to inflict pain on the child.” That may be the intention but the result is a horrifically painful murder, murder of the weakest and most defenseless in society.
I wonder how Canadian politicians would react if the blood of the 3.3 million murdered children were to wash through our streets. No doubt most would react in horror. I wonder however, would this horror be about the inconvenience of the messy blood or would the horror be about the murdered children from whom the blood flowed. I wonder.Other Commentary by Geoffrey Capp:
