PROP 1: Moral condemnation

When Proposition 1 comes up for a vote this year consider this. Since 1973 when the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion or the killing of unborn infants, it’s estimated between 45 and 66 million abortions have been successfully performed in America. 

In contrast, between 1938 and 1945 the German Nazi regime intentionally eliminated or murdered approximately 6 million Jews and an estimated 5 million others by means of their extermination camps, mobile death squads, forced labor camps and those who were starved or died of disease in government run ghettos.

The former Russian government under Joseph Stalin, between 1930 and 1952, killed between 6 and 20 million people resulting from systematic exterminations, intentional induced famines and forced labor camps.

All of these combined deaths were once living souls of unwanted people, either born or unborn that governments approved of or condoned their elimination.

Now, in the eyes of God which nation or government carries with it the greatest iniquity, Nazi Germany with 11 million dead, Russia with 6 to 20 million dead or the United States with 45 to 66 million dead? All are equally guilty.

So, here in the United States we have the audacity to say God bless America.
