The Thomas complex
The United States of America is begging to decide its fate. Politicians are starting to campaign and make impossible promises to the voters. In the midst of the talks, footage showing the multimillion dollar business behind Planned Parenthood gets to the public. This video clip shows how this company, who claims to help women by "safely" terminating their pregnancies, uses the aborted babies as sources of tissues and organs to sell to companies for research purposes. In some instances, it was found that the babies were carefully aborted to not damage important, and expensive, organs and tissues. I don't know about you, but the mere thought of this process produces goosebumps in my skin.
After this video came to the light, a petition was started to defund the organization. However, many people oppose this petition on the basis of women's rights. Somehow, these people are very passionate to defend the rights of some, while overlooking the rights of others: the unborn babies. In other words, it much resembles the exclamation of the apostle Thomas when he was told about the resurrection of Jesus; he said: "except I shall see". The silence of Planned Parenthood further this complex in the American people, who decided to not believe in the claims, unless they had more evidence.
However, this morning, in awe, I watched how the media covered yet a couple more dreadful testimonies of Ex-workers, not only of planned parenthood, but also of the companies who buy the "specimens" from them. Their eyes saw first hand what happens to these parts which, some times, are still functional. For example, one testimony recalls a technician touching a heart that started beating right after. Yet another, accounts how the brain on the baby is carefully dealt with in order to preserve the brain. Still, some Americans seem immune to these accounts and not see the truth.
To me, this shows the degree of moral degradation this country has fall in, which has blinded the judgment of its people. The question is, how much more does the rest of the American people need to know? How much do need to see? How many more videos need to come to life? Let's pray so that God can show them the truth of what happens in these companies, so that they can promote the rights of these babies as fervently as they do those of women.
