It’s 4:30 AM and I can’t sleep. I sit appalled and pierced after viewing the Fox special “See No Evil” last evening. Dr. Kermit Gosnell’s actions of a lifetime were laid open for the world to see. Americans were allowed to gaze at the horror and atrocities this man committed over the past thirty years. And I am sickened at the depth of this depravity.
I will never forget the pictures of that baby—those babies—brutally murdered, then stored in a freezer by this doctor and those working in his clinic of evil.
Should this man be sentenced to death? Yes. Should every person who participated in this heinous crime be put to death? Yes. But so should every citizen of the United States of America. We are guilty. By sins of omission.
Guilty for allowing this deception to remain the law of the land. Guilty for turning our back and refusing to demand accountability and regulation from these “houses of horror”. Guilty for not “training up our children in the way they should go” (Proverbs 22:6 NAS).
We give lip service to our choice for life. Then pull the lever in the voting booth for candidates, from the federal to city governments, who openly agree with Dr. Gosnell, that it’s okay, even necessary to murder unwanted babies.
Pro-Life marches and prayer vigils are scheduled in our cities and few show up to march or pray, but stadiums and athletic centers are full every weekend. We’ve grown accustomed to the sound of the drum beats on both sides of this issue. We’ve lost our courage and focus to stand, draw the line in the sand, and require accountability from our lawmakers and judges.
It’s easier to look the other way.
Sanctity of Life Sunday rolls around at church once a year and we write a check or pull a twenty out of our wallets and drop it in the plate. We’ve done our duty and pat ourselves on the back to affirm our stance for life. We refuse to hear the screams of innocent babies sucked into a sink or stabbed in the neck. And go on with our sanitized lives.
But the darkness of sin never remains contained. The black goo seeps out of the pit like a lava flow, ever attempting to smother the light of Truth. And if you haven’t noticed, it’s making steady progress. Because we haven’t oiled the lanterns of our heart with the light of God’s Word and let them burn brightly where we work, where we play, and where we live.
We are guilty before God for tolerating this abomination that will destroy this nation.
We have failed or refused to teach our children the commandments of God. Commandments He gave to assure life and blessings to us and to our children and our children’s children.
Like Eve we have listened to the whispers of the Father of Lies and believed the miracle of life growing in the womb is just tissue. A fetus. Refusing to believe that God alone is the giver and taker of life. Calling Him a liar and choosing to be enemies of the God of all Creation.
Medical science has proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that life begins at conception. Just look at an ultra-sound. Hear the heartbeat. Yet we give credence to the idolatry that abortion is okay within certain time limitations. Lies that have brought devastation and destruction to our nation, our families and our future.
In the Old Testament, God records the account of a priest by the name of Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron, who saw an Israelite man thumb his nose at God’s law and take a pagan woman into his tent, in spite of God’s command not to intermarry with the inhabitants of the land. This priest of God took a spear and ran them through in order to stay God’s judgment on His people. But not before 24,000 Israelites died. Look in Numbers 25:1-12 to read what God had to say about Phinehas’ actions.
What depths of abomination will we tolerate before we fall on our faces before God? Appalled. Confessing our sin against God and against those fifty-four million plus babies we have allowed to be butchered
During the weeks of this trial and last night’s expose’ God allowed Americans to glimpse into the pit of hell through the doors of that Philadelphia abortion clinic. Dr. Gosnell’s greed of money and his own depravity were finally thrown open to public view. God has stabbed the conscience of this nation, perhaps for the last time before His judgment falls.
The Word of God says the shedding of innocent blood pollutes the land He has given. (Deuteronomy 19:10-13)
Whether you believe God’s Word or not in no way changes the truth of His Word or the reality of His judgments. If we are to survive as a nation, we must demand all laws legalizing abortion be overturned.
Our children must be taught that sex outside of marriage is sin. We must teach them holy marriage is between a man and a woman. And we must teach them it’s wrong to kill what you don’t want. If you don’t want a baby, don’t have sex.
Forces of Satan have spun the deception we are animals and must give in to the lusts of our flesh. We are not. We don’t have to. We choose to. And that choice is sin. We must teach our children that obedience to God’s Word brings blessings and peace.
We have grown tone-deaf to this counter-culture of disaster and chaos every night on local and national news. But why do we never hear about the men who sire these babies? Where are they?
God has extended a brief moment of grace for Americas to see the ugly, terminal result of unchecked sin. Will we pick up our spears and drive them through the abominable laws of Roe v. Wade? Or will we wait for God and the land to spew us out?
May God have mercy on each one of us, especially the mothers and fathers who have believed the lie and now live daily with the mental pain and anguish abortion always brings. May He grant us the ability to be conduits of His love, grace, and forgiveness to those trapped in the deception and shame of this pagan practice.
“O, my God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift up my face to Thee, my God, for our iniquities have risen above our heads, and our guilt has grown even to the heavens” (Ezra 9:6 NAS).

Diane, I too watched the horrific display last night on FOX News. Even though I work with words every day, I feel incapable of choosing the right ones to express my disgust and horror after watching “See no Evil.” We are a nation on the verge of the worst punishment—and it would be well-deserved. I can only pray that, if God can find at least ten righteous in our nation (as He could NOT in Sodom), that He will spare us from complete disaster. May God forgive us.
I’m reposting your blog on Facebook. Thank you for writing this.

Judy, God woke me up at 2:30 and I laid there, thinking and talking with Him. At 4:30 I got up, picked up His Word and opened to the Psalms and the words just came.

Thank you, Fox, and thank you, DiAne. I find the lack of media coverage regarding the atrocities you speak of an astonishing void. It’s not that important? Really? Thank God for James Dobson, Fox, and any others who tells us facts (such as those in your blog) that the media ignores. God save them! May they not sleep at night rather than you. Thanks for sharing your heart.

There are so many things wrong with this.
Why don’t you respect and understand the fact that not everyone has the same views, morals or ethics as you do?
Stop forcing your right-wing religious garbage on people who don’t want to hear it. Gosnell does not represent all pro-choicers. He is not the face of what we believe in.

For those who are suffering from their actions after they bought into the lie, even decades later, the DFW area has a wonderful ministry called Rachel’s Vineyard. It is for the dads as well, who often were never involved in the decision to abort but also carry the guilt. http://www.rachelsvineyard.org
As Christians, we must reach out to these people who are victims of our lax social morals and “easy way out” plans. We must, in love, show them that Christ can heal and forgive.

I live my life and let others live their lives, too: I don’t kill others just because they might be an inconvenience to me. We forget the babies, letting them live their lives. And several women also die in these butcheries, annually. Sometimes we just cannot hear ourselves speak, or maybe cannot even hear ourselves think.
Thank you for this, DiAne. Actually, the world has known of this horrific volcano of death since that first brave reporter, Stephanie Farr, submitted the story for publication in a Philadelphia paper, in February of 2011.

Fox is covering the trial.
I thank God that Fox, alone, is covering the trial. Those who ignore it would make a horrible mess of it, should they attempt to make this man’s atrocities somehow look good. They know they cannot, so they stay clear . . .
I thank God, at least there IS a trial of this man and his accomplices. Let us pray for a conviction, eh? Penitentiary is a place for pennance and maybe we feel such a reprieve too good for him, but let us pray we at least get him off the streets and send out a message that there MUST be a limit. Somewhere, there must be that line in the sand. We can move it back over and over, once we get everyone everywhere to acknowledge there MUST be a line.
I am very thankful for your bravery, too, in publishing this. I am grateful for your followers who commented here.

Katharine, thank you for your powerful response. My heart cries out for those who have been blinded by the deception of the evil one. When a nation, a people, a family kills it’s own off-spring, something is deeply wrong in the hearts of those who commit and those who support the killing. And that means each one of us who turns a deaf ear to the cries of the innocent blood shed in our land. Abortion now…what’s next, killing our old? (That will be done with Obama Care) Killing terminally ill infants? Yes. Those teaching our children now and leading our nation were trained in lifeboat theology during their public education.
Only God can change the heart.
