Is all this talk of abortion in South Dakota just noise?

South Dakota is a quiet place and we'd like to keep it that way. Yet noise can be a good thing, say if your friend has fallen and is crying out for help. The premise of the recent motion picture release of Horton Hears a Who is that a whole community of people living on a speck on a flower were about to get killed because their VOICES couldn't be heard except by a big-eared elephant (who is okay looking like an imbasole to do whatever it takes to save Whoville). The movie ends with the entire village of Whoville making as much noise as possible and finally the son of the kangaroo hears the sound. In other places I've noted how, in stirring Hollywood to produce this movie, God has dropped another LIFE gem into the mainstream of American culture.  A person is a person no matter how small.  He who has ears will hear.

Interesting to me it's the son of the kangaroo who "hears". With parabolic license I'd point out how a massive army of young adults has risen hearing the silent cry of the unborn - these are the children of the generation that gave us Roe v Wade. Tomorrow they fill another stadium, this time in Alabama.  They know what Dr. Alveda King says is true… that the plight of the unborn is the true heir of the civil rights movement, not homosexuality.

Yesterday in the Rapid City Journal online blog, Mikel Lafort posted an article titles "Abortion argument is just background noise for many." 

So, South Dakota will have another referendum on abortion, and Rapid Reply editors will enjoy the next seven months screening posts from around the country expressing support or outrage over another go-round. We’ll be treated to the details of fetal development trimester by trimester, and we’ll be inundated with terms like “baby-killers” and “pro-death”, as well as “zygotes” and “plasma membrane” and “organism.” We will read the phrases “men shouldn’t make laws to govern women’s bodies”, “too many women use abortion as birth control”, and that supporters for the other side are well-financed out-of-state activist groups which know nothing about what the people of South Dakota want. We’ll hear passionate accounts of what God says, what doctors say, and what medical scientists say, from people who are none of the above. And every story we post on the Web on abortion will have 100 comments before the day is out. But it will mostly be for naught… it’s all just noise. 

His premise is that people have already made up their minds. If that's true, it's too bad. But it's not true.  And even if it is so, people easily change their minds.  As we just saw with the governor of New York, one little piece of info coming into the light has the power to bring down kings. How Planned Parenthood covers up sex crimes against minors is increasingly coming to light. In my estimation, the reason a good majority of South Dakota legislators in 2006 voted for a near total ban and a majority electorate didn't is because the legislators actually read the South Dakota Task Force Report on Abortion. There is much the populace doesn't yet know about the dark underworld of Planned Parenthood and some of it is now coming out - like the fact that they, a non-profit, made one billion dollars last year, and that 300+ million of it was taxpayer subsidies of Planned Parenthood. Or, even more appaling, how they freely accept money designated to kill black babies.

But, back to this issue of all this talk about abortion being mere "background noise." Did you know there was a Lutheran pastor in Nazi Germany who asked his congregation to sing louder because "the noise" coming from the railcars right outside his church was disrupting his servcies?  The "noise" was screams coming from the Jews crowded in boxcars enroute to the death camps.  Will South Dakotan's these next seven months really turn up their "music" to drown out the cry of the unborn?  The death industry hopes so.  But I don't think so. If so, God help us. 

In my "Fires of Molech" messages in '06, I spoke of Molech, the ancient demonic spirit behind child sacrifice and abortion.  I'll reprint here a graphic desrciption of an ancient child sacrifice to Molech which I adapted to introduce that message.  In light of the subject of this post, note the sentence I've put in bold text. 

EXCERPT from THE FIRES OF MOLECH

A man walked down the path, his first-born son in his arms. His wife trailed behind him, trying to hide her tears. The valley ahead was still too far off for him to see their destination, but the smoke rising in the distance assured him that all was ready. His child was defective and his hope in sacrificing the child was he’d later receive a healthy child as a substitute. Others were heading toward the valley with their infants but for different reasons… Some seeking to gain success or some great favor from the gods by vowing one of their children. Others were more concerned for the consolidation and maintenance of family wealth. One hardly needed several children parceling up the patrimony into smaller and smaller pieces. In the days of the artisans and commoners of Carthage, ritual infanticide provided a hedge against poverty. Parents who couldn’t afford to raise children sacrificed them believing Molech would bring future prosperity and fertility. Child sacrifice has always been driven by a desire for personal fulfillment and selfish well-being. During times of war– it was believed child sacrifice would ensure victory. Blinded by fear and their hatred of their enemy, they didn’t see they were forfeiting their future. Parents who sacrifice children in the ashes of Molech’s furnace produce religious martyrs but the only one actually satisfied is the demon assigned to destroy their child’s life and future in God.
