“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.…”
—Romans 1: 18-19
The 8th undercover video exposing the callously cavalier…(some might argue “depraved”)….attitude of those within the abortion- industrial complex was released recently (August 2015).
In the video*, one can watch and hear the light-hearted lunchtime, bistro-banter of those discussing the procurement, the pricing, and procedures for shipping the parts of dismembered babies (as well as entire cadavers) to the anxiously awaiting labs. At one point in the ten-minute video, the discussion turns to the handling of the severed heads of the babies (euphemistically and affectionately known as the “cavalarium” to the experts)………..
“Yeah! Tell the lab it’s coming! So they don’t open the box and go, ‘Oh, God!’”
The lunch time jocularity is infectious…. (infectious like the plague.)
Defenders of Planned Parenthood, of course, simply shrug all of this off and say “What’s the big deal…Hey! It’s legal!”
Which, of course, only makes the utter lawlessness of the perverse transaction all the more heinous, wicked, and evil.
“The shrug is the sign we have become a shell of humanity – a soulless society where the baby hearts we sell are bigger than our hearts that are still beating. We live in a world in which people can look square into the faces of tiny human beings and talk about how much money their organs will bring in….The absence of societal shuddering in response to the Planned Parenthood videos frightens me more than the videos themselves.”

Please sir, tell the lab it's coming,
When Pandora's Box arrives.
Yes, please give them ample warning
When they see what once were lives.
Please, make sure you close the eyelids,
So the death stare can't be seen.
Then make sure you sear the conscience,
So it won't seem so obscene.
Then pretend it's all for "progress",
Make believe it's all for "good",
Wash your hands with "good intentions",
Disregard both "ought" and "should".
Just suppress that gnawing feeling
Tell yourself "It's really fine!"...,
Push what's real down past ignoring...
Out of sight and out of mind..
Keep a lid on Truth and Justice,
Don't let "Holy" enter in....
Just deny what's right before you:
The reality of Sin.
God in Heaven…Lord, have mercy,
Give us Grace to finally see,
Help us mourn our grim condition1,
Give us wisdom, Lord, to flee.
Help us, Father, see the darkness
In these tombs whitewashed2 with Pride,
Touch us, Jesus,…. cure the blindness3,
True Light, find us where we hide4.
Lord, reveal us “poor in spirit”5…
Strip this blinding Pride6 away,
Give us Grace to be just honest,
On our knees, Lord, help us pray.
Help us see how deep the darkness,
Give us Grace to sense the loss.
Father, take us home to Calv’ry
And the shelter of the Cross.
For at least the past two or three generations we have been told and taught...over and over again... by the more "enlightened" among us that we are ALL just soulless "tissue masses"..."meat machines" , if you will..
Well, apparently, ideas have consequences.
Now those sown seeds of destruction have not just been well-watered over the years, they are now deeply rooted. and are today bearing some very bitter, very ugly fruit.
Call it Darwinian, evolutionary "progress". The larger, stronger, and more fit "tissue masses" are simply taking care of business, not because they think they should necessarily, but simply because they can.
