In the news today was an article about how a minority in the Texas House and Senate have kept nearly every anti-abortion bill from coming up for vote. That, dear people, is the epitome of the term "bloodthirsty" It reminded me of the following:

In the 1960's they protested for "free love"

In the 1970's they protested for "the right to choose"

Then they won their "right" and killed their babies.

Today they are protesting for their right for fully funded pensions and health care.

But who will pay for it?

Their children will pay for it.

But... they killed their children.

It's the unborn babies' fault we are in this mess!

How could they be so selfish?

Did you know that the word Jesus used for Hell, "Gehenna", is Greek for Ben Hinnom? But what was Ben Hinnom? It was a place of smoldering ruin just outside of Jerusalem. This Valley of the Sons of Hinnom was the place where the Israelites burned their babies to honor their idols. They called it sacrifice, but it was the same then as abortion is today: Just a bunch of selfish people who didn't want to be "punished with a baby". So they killed these unwanted babies and fancied themselves sophisticated and noble.

Shame on the Texas legislature! Shame on those whose lust for blood is such that they would block a bill to stop abortions! Shame on everyone who would knowingly vote for such a vile individual and still fancy themselves loving and decent! And shame, shame, shame on the majority for pretending there is nothing they can do about it!

They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek, though I never commanded - nor did it ever enter my mind - that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin.
