Where's equality for the unborn?

With last week's battery of 'equal signs' across Facebook in support of same-sex marriage, there were some equally interesting counters. A couple in particular really stuck with me, which powerfully trivialize this entire spectacle of marriage equality. What of the lack of equality, dare I say rampant discrimination, for the unborn in our society?

If most of my Facebook friends are going to support people who are gay by posting the red equal sign, I am going to post two feet, the feet represent the millions who never get to breathe the air of this world, who never feel love let alone get married, those who never have the chance to have children or go to school or do anything many gays are afforded the privilege to do. They are never given this chance because a human decides that their life is unimportant because of a defect or being an inopportune time for the person who conceived them. This is for the millions of children aborted yearly. Talk about rights being denied.

We hear of the shear evils of abortion, the latest being the testimony against that sicko doctor charged with seven counts of first-degree murder, who joked, "This baby is big enough to walk around with me or walk me to the bus stop," before snipping its spinal cord. Where's the First Lawyer's words of comfort and healing for these children? Mute...the only time the guy doesn't drone on and on and on.

Levin discussed this and another horror story earlier last week, both equally sickening...

"I Suspect There Are Mengele’s Around This Country."

While the federal government, particularly the current incarnation, may not be concerned at all with justice for the innocent, it is encouraging to know that the states are beginning to step up to combat this genocide...

KHN: States have passed a record number of abortion bills since 2011, including curbs on clinics and chemically induced abortions, and in North Dakota, a ban on abortions as early as six weeks.

The southern and midwestern states seem to be taking a lead in cutting away at Roe v. Wade. In the latest decision, North Dakota has passed and signed into law the banning of abortions as early as six weeks (once the heartbeat can be detected). Prior to that, the Arkansas legislature overrode their Democratic governor's veto of a bill they passed banning abortions after 12 weeks. These are great victories for pro-life advocacy, as well as federalism; however, rival legal teams are gearing up for court battles over the coming months.

For all their differences, attorneys for the two states and the abortion-rights supporters opposing them agree on this: The laws represent an unprecedented frontal assault on the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a nationwide right to abortion.

So while this is guaranteed to be yet another in a long line of battles, there's something to be said of the cultural tide sweeping across the country that still holds the basic right of Life as a precious commodity. And though there is no guarantee of equal results (no matter how much the governmental demagogue desires it so), it cannot be denied that we all begin life equally. It's time that the unborn receive their equal right to live and breathe.
