Late Term Abortion 32 week twin babies dead.

"Mum's Twin heartbreak" Major headline in our daily newspaper the Herald Sun November 24, 2011.
This the story of 32 week old in utero twins aborted "accidently" at the Royal Women's Hospital the largest women's Hospital in  Victoria.  "Mums Twin Heartbreak"
As the story unfolded through the papers and media outlets it transpired that one of the infants was diagnosed with congenital heart defect and would need many operations if he survived at all and the "advice" was to abort him.  In the process of the abortion of the child with the defect the healthy one was mistakenly aborted and then the one with the heart defect was also terminated via a caesarean section.
In all of this I have to ask WHY?   Not that the accident happend, but why it needed to happen at all?
Why was the encouragement to abort the child with heart defect?  Why not let him live and have the operations which would be needed? and if he died naturally, at least hold him, love him, nurture him for the time available, and name him and give him a burial worthy of the new human being?  Why at 32 weeks abort him because he had a heart defect?  How is it possible for parents (possibly on medical advice)  determine that it's better for their baby to die because he is ill?  What's happened to the idea that we love our own unto death?  Whats happened to the idea that a mother and father protect their child against all attacks and not agree to anything else?
And the mistake which took the life of the "healthy" infant?  what can be said about that?
This dear friends is what happens with our new abortion laws.  Abortion legal to 40 weeks.
It will never happen many said. It will never happen that older babies will be terminated.
Three older in utero babies dead through abortion in 5 weeks reported in our daily papers.   And It will never happen..?
And I suspect that the reason this made the headlines is because the "healthy" baby was terminated and it's going to be a massive compensation/investigation headliner.
I have been speaking about legalisation of "infanticide" since our new infamous abortion laws  of 1998 and since then we have seen over 50 late term abortions (that we know of) of infants who were viable but aborted and some were born alive but were not helped and eventually succumbed to lonely unattended death.
And we call ourselves a civilised society?
This last reported abortion for foetal abnormality (the second one.  I have attended to another mother, in the last four weeks who aborted at 14 weeks old for foetal abnormality or so she was told)  happened because of the eugenic mentality which has become deeply rooted in our society and  which Hitler and Sanger and others would have been proud of.
We punish "homicide" we punish all types of intentional and even unintentional killing as illegal.  Yet "infanticide" is legal and a "right" because the pro abortion lobby and feminist cabal declared that this is a right of women.  And sadly they got what they wanted and we stand by and watch and read what we read in the news yesterday "Mum's Twin Heartbreak."   Will this be last late term abortion? NO there will be many more as more and more our society becomes desensitised to death of intants and to our own sense of helplessness in the face of such horror and such devaluing of human life.
Lord Please help us we cant do it anymore. You need your help.

The Touch of the Master's Hand

 

Author:  Unknown.

T’was battered , scarred, and the auctioneer
Thought it scarcely worth the while
To waste his time on the old violin,
But he held it up with a smile.
“What am I bid, good people,” he cried,
“Who’ll start the bidding for me?
One dollar? …Now do I hear two?
To dollars…now who males it three?”
Three dollars once…three dollars twice,
Going for three….”  But no!
From the room far back a greybearded man
Came forward and picked up the bow.
Then wiping the dust from the old violin
And tightening up the strings
He played a melody pure and sweet
As sweet as the angels sing.
The music ceased, and the auctioneer
With a voice that was quiet and low
Said, “What now am I bid for the old violin?”
As he held it aloft with its bow.
“One thousand?” said he. “Two thousand?
And now two thousand and who makes it three?
Three thousand once, three thousand twice….
And going and gone” said he.
The people cheered, but some of them cried,
“We don’t quite understand…
What changed its worth?”  Swift came the reply,
“The touch of the Master’s hand.”
And many a man with life out of tune,
All battered and torn with sin
Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd
Much like the old violin.
A mess of pottage, a glass of wine,
A game, a he travels on,
He’s going once, he is going twice,
He is going and almost gone.
But the master comes and the foolish crowd
Can never quite understand
The worth of a soul, the change that was wrought
By the touch of the Master’s hand.

Woman the Secret of God.

" Acknowledged in its fullness, this is the hour in which women acquire in the world an influence, an effect and a power never hitherto achieved.  That is why, at this moment when the human race is undergoing a deep transformation, women imbued with a spirit of the Gospel can do so much to aid humanity in not falling”  (Council’s message  to women  at closing of Vatican II).

How prophetic has been this clarion call to women. This reminder that to them is given the call to help humanity to recover from its malaise leading to a new falling.  Again woman has been asked for a “fiat”
And sadly, the loudest noise that is mostly heard from the feminine both and out of the church is the voice of dissent, and disobedience. And No.

The late Blessed Pope John Paul II exhorted and believed in woman’s genius.  “Feminine genius” he called it. He believed that woman was created to be the glue which held humanity together.  He believed that woman (issah) was not lesser because she was “taken out of man” (issh) but more refined and sacred because she emerged from within man rather than from “soil”.

This Holy Father Blessed John Paul II, always believed that and a taught that the true strength, the mystery of the woman, is best seen when she sees herself as part of a  complimentarity with the  man   and recognizes  her own self as “different” but “equal” to the man.  The softer Imago Dei.  An Imago which loves so deeply and endures so long that it becomes transformative.

The culture of death (a John Paul II quote) which has flourished over the past 50 years has done so because “woman” was first seduced with words which sounded like liberation from former past  ties and then  she  slowly forgot her uniqueness, worth and design.  Helpmate, woman, mother of living, leading to loss of her understanding of her being.   These voices of distraction, with stealth, have burrowed deeply into the thought and psyche of the feminine genius thus changing her blueprint for life, into one that again says NO to life and in doing so re introduced “death.”

Blessed John Paul II who used this term “culture of death” often,  saw clearly   that the health of the feminine and the  health of society are a mirror image of one another.  He wrote and spoke to and with women and most specifically and beautifully in Letter to Women (1995) and Muglieris Dignitatem, On the Dignity & Vocation of Women. He reflected on the strength and importance of woman and her role.  Not as an afterthought of God, but as the final most creative and mysterious act.  He spoke to and with  women and addressed the challenges which faced them and warned prophetically of the assault against their “feminine” being by their very own “sisters” with ideologies destructive to their design. 

Woman’s genius is tied to the male “role” which  is to enhance, refine and make whole his  own role  of  continuing the generative act with her,  because   without her he again resorts to the company of beasts (Gn:2:20-24)  not  of his “kind” and who  are unable to share and generate  life with him.  The beast cannot be his “helpmate” but only one “like” him can o fulfil this role.   With her he is tied to the mystery called “life.”  They together understand the God who created them   male and female and who designed woman, to be the one who would be able to unite herself to him and be in communion with him. To complete him.    Very unlike the beast.

Understanding the fecundity of woman correctly is important because, even beasts and nature are designed to reproduce and continue “life” but woman is different.  She “hears” and understands that within that new creation she carries, begins a new tree, a new life, a new history, the same as the one begun when love overflowed from God and began the eternal generation of “Adam”.

While woman in turn would also be recipient of something special from man (his generative gift)  in his role as “man,” it is she who must return time and again to unite with him in order that the “rib” (Gen.2:22) forms again the “whole man.”  Not “rib” less man, but when the “rib” (woman) is reunited with the “man” he man is whole.   The man of the first creation, without the “rib” (woman)  is  helpless and alone. 

However, whilst woman needs to return Adam so as to re create, it was always in her design that she would be the one to carry forward that creation.  Her receptive nature implies this. So does the curse after the sin (Gen.3:16).    So always woman was to be the one who would co operate with Adam and God so that eternal and physical generation of a new creature would happen.

It is of little wonder that the “serpent” chose “woman” to tempt (Gen 3:5) because it is she who is his enemy and he knew it.  And it is “She” who must crush his head and bring him to heel to honour her God, her feminine and her child.   The very aspect of her which cooperates with God and man to bring forth a new child, the serpent set out to corrupt.  Hence he again had to convince woman to abort her child   and she again is listening to his voice.

The elements of the earth are used to form “man” while “woman “is drawn out more refined because God had already “breathed” into Adam when He removed the “Rib.”   He is the heaviness of earth she is the mystery of “life” and together they form the new creation heading through time and with the New “Adam”, Jesus,  towards eternity to fill the paradise left bereft by the fall of some of the angels.  How ingenious of God.
