Welcome friends to the Generations radio broadcast. Kevin Swanson, your host with you. And we are broadcasting from my basement out here in the eastern plains of Colorado. Steve Vaughn also in studio with me today, a homeschool father of six, is it? That's right. And I'm a homeschool father of five. Son Daniel in studio with me this morning. And friends, today we want to talk about human life. We take a controversial position on this edition of Generations. We're against killing kids. we're against killing babies that's uh... that's our position so do you know stop the letters stop the phone calls we're against killing babies on this program and i know it's controversial and not everybody agrees with us on this one but uh... but i've taken this position since uh... well since i found out that uh... they were killing kids in america in nineteen eighty three attended a coalition of america pro-life university students meeting at cal poly san luis obispo and uh... watch the silent scream remember the the movie silent scream steve Yeah. Watch that movie, and I took the position right away. Hey, killing kids, bad. Killing kids, bad. Life, good. And that's pretty much what God says in His Word as well. And friends, I realize that there's a little bit of controversy on this issue, but unless we get over this issue of killing children, unless we get to the point where we love children, we embrace them, we bring them into our families, we adopt them, we do what we can to sustain human life, unless we do that, friends, forget the idea of restoring relationships. Forget the idea of strong families. Forget the idea of strong marriages. Forget the idea of strong churches. As long as we're killing children, forget human relationships. And by the way, also forget your relationship with a true and living God, who is the source of all life, because He likes life. He's created life. He doesn't want us flushing it down the drains of abortuaries across America. That's pretty much my position, friends. And increasingly, friends, the womb is becoming a tomb. We're going to deal with that as we talk about what's happened since 1967. In 1967, Colorado became the first state that legalized abortion in America. And we are broadcasting from my basement out here in the eastern plains of Colorado and trying to do what we can to restore a respect for human life in Colorado. In 1994, I ran for governor of Colorado. as the only pro-life candidate against two candidates, one a Republican, the other a Democrat, both of whom loved abortion and wanted government money paying for abortion. And they stated it in their campaign promises. And I was the candidate who was standing for life in 1994. Not too many other people were. Mark Paschal, I believe, was running for House Rep at that time. We had a few other. Barry Arrington was running for Senate. So we had a few guys. I think I could count on one hand those that supported life in Colorado in the late, early 1990s. And since then we've had more and more, I think, men and women who are interested in the cause of life. And I think we're doing better in terms of our true principal Republican to RINO ratio. Meaning that the Democrats pretty much, pretty much in Colorado, the Democrats do everything they can to increase tyranny and kill babies. That's what they love to do. If it's a regulation, if it's a tax, if it involves killing babies, they love it. the democrats love it in this state okay so that's the position of democrats republicans can be on both sides of the issue as you know steve Absolutely. You know, the highest abortion rates in the world are Vietnam, Romania, Cuba, Russia, Ukraine, and Yugoslavia. What does that mean to you? You know, these rates are about three to four times what we get in abortuaries in America. Now, I'm going to get to the point where, in this program, where we're going to talk about America. America is not as pristine, clean on this issue as you think. America's abortion rates are far, far higher than I think is being advertised right now. But in terms of those nations that do what they can to rip apart babies in the womb and do the full-fledged surgical abortions, Vietnam is at the head, Romania is number two, Cuba is number three, Russia number three, Ukraine and Yugoslavia follow. They're all communist countries. Well, you know, communists are not known for loving life. No, no, that's true. That's true. They set a really bad example early on. Yeah. And they're therefore actually starving their people to death besides killing them. And so, you know, Dick Lamb, who was the one who is presiding over the abortion in Colorado, has come back and is now in support of physician-assisted suicide as well. So he's not only from womb to tomb, but he wants the womb to be a tomb as well. Yeah, exactly. Well, friends, the abortion rate in America, according to a recent article, is up after a long decline. So apparently it's ticked up just a little teeny weeny bit. The abortion rate is supposed to be at 1.2 million, and that's down from 1.6 million in the mid-1990s. So we have seen a decrease in surgical abortions in this country. But that's a mirage. It's a mirage. Do research on the day-after pill. That's right, do research on the day-after pill. I've done it. And apparently 10% of sexually active women are using the day-after pill. 10% of sexually active women are using the day-after pill. That's up from 2% six years ago. I mean, that blows my mind. I mean, we're talking about a 100% increase in the percentage of women using the day-after pill since just six years ago. Meaning that, and I'm just going to give you the numbers, friends, and these are my estimates, they may not be exact, but they're going to be as close as I can get. It's not just 1.2 million abortions in this country, it's far more than that. We could be taking about 3 to 4 million abortions in this country by means of the abortion, the day after pill. So that may increase the abortion rate from 1.2 million to, you know, 4 or 5 million. I would say that's very possible. If you include those babies who are killed by the day after pill, we could be way, way higher. Steve, I don't think Americans are doing much better than they were in the 1990s. Not at all, because that only takes into account the day-after pill. That's not taking into account the other forms of abortion, which would be the IUD, which makes the womb unimplantable. And then you also have the abortifacients in the birth control pills. As a nurse, I understand all of those things. Yeah, and Steve, you are a nurse. You're a professional nurse. You've been in the business a long time. You know that the day-after pill and the abortifacient qualities of the birth control pill provide for an environment in which more abortions will happen in that woman's womb. That's absolutely right. And so the rate of abortion in the United States is much, much higher. In fact, the birth control pills could be actually causing a three to four times as great of spontaneous abortions in the United States. Which means in America, friends, we have the money to pay for our day-after pills. The average person has money to get themselves on the abort-efficient birth control pill and reduce the abortion rate. Vietnam doesn't have that. Romania doesn't have that. Cuba doesn't have that. These nations are still fairly impoverished, and so when they do have children conceived in the womb, they wind up having to go through the surgical process, which is a pain. But apparently these women don't have as much access to these pills as the average American family does. And for that reason, the American abortion rate looks better than the abortion rate in Vietnam, Cuba, and Russia. But I'm going to tell you, friends, I don't think it's that much better. I think Americans like to look better. They like to pretend that they like life. They don't really like the surgical abortions. It's really kind of ugly to take a knife and carve up these babies in their mother's womb. But they will be more than happy to take the abortifacient birth control pill or the day after pill. And right now, friends, huge increase in the use of the birth control pill, not just in America, but the UK as well. The abortion rates are soaring in the UK. Apparently the surgical abortions are up in the UK. So they haven't seen any decrease in surgical abortions. But the number of women buying the morning after pill from chemists has doubled in just one year. So this is a news report that just came out, I'm going to say a couple days ago. The abortion rates in the UK are on the increase, but the number of women buying the morning-after pill from chemists has doubled in just a year. The day-after pill, Steve, is being used all over the place. In fact, I think it's common knowledge now by even little teeny-boppers. One in eight girls age 16 has used the morning-after pill, an alarming report has revealed. It heightened fears over the reliance placed on the emergency contraception by thousands of youngsters. We're talking about girls age 16. One in eight. 1 in 8 girls aged 16 using the morning after pill, that is killing their kids by means of a morning after pill. Widespread use of the pill was uncovered by the government's comprehensive general household survey. It found that 12% of girls ages 16 and 17 had turned to the contraception at least once after having sex. 1 in 50 had used it twice. 1 in 100 had done so more often than that. So these girls using this pill. And one of the rates that you're not going to see published is how many older men are going and purchasing the morning after pill for their underage sex partners. Can you imagine what this would be? Can you imagine what it would be like if these were provided for free by the government? Steve, you're a nurse. Does this morning after pill kill kids? Yes, it does. You think it does? Absolutely. How does it do that? Because what happens with the morning after pill is it creates a negative environment. It's similar in the process to the IUD, but what it does is it creates an environment where the fertilized egg cannot implant into the womb. And so you're making it so that if you believe, which I do, and I know you do, that life begins at conception, then after the egg is conceived, after the egg is fertilized, it goes down the fallopian tube, goes into the uterus to be implanted. The morning after pill, as well as the IUD, creates an environment so that it does not implant and therefore kills the fertilized egg. So this is a spontaneous abortion. The means by which to kill the child. Absolutely. But prior to implantation. You know, friends, we have some reports from Indian doctors who have done some research on the wombs of women who have had hysterectomies and they have cut these wombs open, they've done research on them and found that those women who are on the abortifacient-based birth control pill had multiple, multiple little fetuses that were dead right under a couple layers of the womb. In other words, they might have implanted, they might have had a partial implantation, but they were not able to implant and sustain the life. So the womb, in the case of these women who are on the birth control pill, turned out to be tombs, burial grounds for multiple little children in those wombs. Can you imagine that? Steve, this is eerie to think of what's happening with not just Indian women, but I'm talking about Christian women, I'm talking about evangelical women, I'm talking about the average church in America filled with wombs of dead little babies. Dead babies. What does God do? God knows about the life of these children. God knows the kind of lack of respect that the average evangelical Christian has to these precious little children that he created in his image. What do you think God thinks about these evangelical churches filled with wombs that are tombs, graveyards, graveyards? I mean, this is eerie. I mean, there's something weird about this. It seems very weird. Yeah, it's indescribable. I mean, I've read the book on Be Fruitful and Multiply, and I felt like after reading that book, almost saw just a piece of the heart of God for not only women, but for their wombs and for pregnancy. And it has got to not only break his heart, but just make him supremely angry. What have we become? You know, what have we become? Who are we? Who are we? If women are running around in evangelical churches, Christian churches, Christian countries like America, and their wombs are tombs for dead bodies of hundreds of thousands, if not millions upon millions upon millions of little ones. who were killed because their parents willfully took the day after pill and said, I don't want this child. I mean, there's something going on in these minds of these people that are taking the day after pill or using the abortifacient birth control pill. At least those who have heard that it does have some abortifacient qualities to it. And it's hard to find people who haven't heard that. There are some out there who haven't heard it, but the fact of the matter is if doctors are being halfway honest and if people have researched at all what the birth control pill does to the lining of the uterus and does to the little hairy things that are supposed to be ushering the little fertilized egg all the way up to the uterus for implantation, if they've done any research at all and they know anything about what these birth control pills do and what the day after pill does, then you'd think that they would know that they are in the process and they are contributing to the killing of innocent human life. Right. And it's a multiplication effect because when you're told, you know, that the doctors are going to tell you, and this is correct, that it's 98 percent effective against pregnancy. But then you have that 2%. And 2% doesn't sound like a whole lot until you start to multiply by the millions of women who are taking this, and the millions of, you know, then you multiply it by 12 because of the 12 cycles in the year that they're going to have. And so now you're, you know, so you can get pregnant just a couple of times, you know, once, you know, during one time of the month, during each month. But you multiply that out, and it multiplies out to millions. And millions and millions of little babies that don't make it. And that you won't even know, because you think that it's been taken care of by the pill, that you didn't even get pregnant. Unless somebody's done some research on your womb after a hysterectomy, then they might be able to find the evidence of these little dead bodies of little ones who did not make it in their mother's womb. Why? Because their mother was on the birth control pill, or the mother was taken the day after pill. We wonder what God is saying. Now granted, human beings may not understand what's going on, and we may be able to hide from our friends and our relatives. We may be able to hide some of the things that we're doing from our own children. They may not know that we have conducted abortions on their little siblings. We may be able to hide that from human beings, but God knows what's going on. God knows the motivations of the human hearts. God knows why a woman will take a morning-after pill with the intent to stop the implantation of a little child in the womb. God knows what's going on, and if there are hundreds of millions of dead bodies of little ones that came about because the abortifacient use of the birth control pill and because of the day-after pills that are being used by the millions in this country. 7.6 million women on the day-after pill, the day-after pill in this country. According to my estimations, 10% of sexually active women are on that pill. Friends, that's a lot of dead bodies. That is a lot of dead children in wombs of women all around this country. Wonder what God has to say about that. I wonder if he still likes life. I wonder if he created life with the intent that life should live. I wonder if he gets a little irritated if there are people out there willfully trying to stifle the continuation of human life in any way, shape, or form, whether it be in the womb or whether the child is two years old and you're attempting a sixth trimester abortion. I wonder if God is a little concerned about the way we handle human life from the womb to the tomb, especially when we're turning the womb into a tomb. Well, we'll be back in just a moment to talk about the pro-life perspective. And Steve Vaughn is looking at running for office here in the state of Colorado. And what his perspective is on the pro-life issue, whether it's a priority for the civil government in this area. We're going to ask those questions in just a moment on this program. My name is Kevin Swanson. The program is Generations. I have always felt that doubt was the beginning of wisdom. and the fear of God was the end of wisdom. Clarence Darrow. The only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing. Socrates. Belief is the death of intelligence. Robert Anton Wilson. If thou trustest to the book called the scriptures, thou trustest to the rotting staff of fables and falsehood. Thomas Paine. Faith is believing what you know ain't so. Mark Twain. Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is in sight. The fool believes his own ideas to be wisdom, but those who fear God and search for understanding find true wisdom. To lead your family in the pursuit of godliness, pick up a copy of the Proverbs Study Guide at GenerationsWithVision.com Welcome back to the Generations radio broadcast, Kevin Swanson here with you. And Steve, we want to talk about how the church and the civil magistrates should deal with the use of the birth control pill, the use of the abortifacient qualities of that pill and the day after pill. You know, the stories I'm hearing, and I interviewed the young lady who was working for Planned Parenthood, it's called Unplanned, and she walked out of that Planned Parenthood office, Abby Johnson, I believe her name was, And she attended a church, a fundamental evangelical type of church that had a sort of a pro-life position. Her mother was pro-life, but she never heard it really preached from the pulpit. And she got an abortion a year or two into her college career, and before you knew it, she was working for Planned Parenthood. I mean, it just chilled me. to think about her and millions and millions of other young ladies who attend churches in America, and they wind up committing murder, too, because nobody stood up in that pulpit and shuddered six or seven times. That pastor is kind of shuddering and saying, there are people that kill innocent human babies in this country. May God have mercy! mercy upon us. May God have mercy upon these people. May God have mercy upon all of us. If we have committed these crimes, if we have murdered God's image in the womb or anywhere else, may God have mercy on us. Let's cry out for mercy now. Let's receive his forgiveness and repent of these terrible sins. You know, if she hasn't heard that, And my guess is she didn't hear it because it was she never learned it in church. I mean, we're talking about your typical little cute little evangelical church in Nowhereville, Kansas, wherever she went. She didn't hear that abortion is murder and it's something we ought to repent of. That ought to be heard from the pulpit, Steve. Absolutely. It should be screamed, shouted from the pulpit. And they may talk about just the surgical abortion, but they're not talking about the morning-after pill. They're not talking about the quote-unquote contraceptives that are out there because they either are ignorant or their wives may be on the pill. These pastors, their wives are on the pill. And they don't want to face the fact that if this really is the case, because I talked with one of my pastors years ago, and his wife was on the pill, and he said, well, it's so rare that this would happen that he just had to believe that it wouldn't happen to his wife. So she's on the pill, he's not having kids, he's busy doing the ministry, and meanwhile, dead body's in her womb. I wonder how God feels about that. You know, I mean, again, you know, people have been so sucked into this idea that we just are out to do the ministry, forget about kids, forget about the family, forget about human life. I'm busy doing something more important. I thought that obeying God's commandments was important. You would think so. I thought taking dominion and, you know, having children and taking this dominion covenant seriously and hopefully obeying God in the area of having children and establishing a kingdom by means of the family, I thought this was important, but unfortunately these men have a hard time ruling their own households and their own families sort of fall apart, but meantime they're doing the ministry, they're doing the ministry, they're doing the ministry, The ministry begins at home. Absolutely. And I think that's the thing we're missing here. First things first, we go home, we fix things at home, we begin to get a better vision for family, a better vision for children, for raising our children, godly seed. God wants godly seed. In fact, he talks more about godly seed. He talks more about fathers discipling their children as they sit in the house than he says about reaching out and doing evangelism. I mean, you find very few, if any, references to evangelism, even in the New Testament. That is a command to go out and evangelize your neighbors or co-workers. But what do you get? Fathers, bring your children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. That's what you get. You get a command to fathers to daily disciple, daily disciple. You know, Steve, I think it's just people don't understand that God has certain expectations and they're not the expectations that they have somehow inherited from their churchiosity. Right. And the expectations they have, they're not going back to the Word to find out if that's within God's will. God has very much laid out everything that he wants for us in the Bible. And I was surprised when I read that book at how many times that blessing and conception was mentioned together. God blessed them and they conceived. God blessed them and they conceived. And see, children are no longer a blessing from God, they're a burden, and the Church has bought that lie. I don't have time for this. I don't have time for another child. I don't have time for the blessings of God. I'm too busy trying to do His ministry. Right, right, right, right. Well, in the end, they're not defining blessing by God's Word. and they've got these deaded societies, their kids turn into homosexuals, there are women ruling everywhere, including in the churches, and they have 1.4 children per family. And God looks at a society like that and says, you guys are a bunch of cursed people. You're not enjoying my blessings. You're in debt up to your eyebrows. That's Deuteronomy 27, 28. You hardly have any kids. That's Deuteronomy 27, 28. You're cursed, man. You're cursed. Your kids are turning into homosexuals. That's Romans 1. That's a curse, too. By the way, when women begin to rule everywhere, in the church, in the civil magistrate, et cetera, oh, that's a curse as well. But see, society says, no, no, no. We're blessed. We're blessed if we don't have any kids. We're blessed if we're up to debt, up to our eyeballs. We're blessed if we have a bunch of kids who are homosexuals. We're blessed if the women are ruling everywhere. That's a blessing, blessing, blessing. But God says, no, no, no. You're cursed, man. You guys are a bunch of cursed people, a cursed people, you hear me? You guys are cursed. And of course one of the other curses you read in Deuteronomy 27-28 is that you'll be confused and you'll think that the curses are blessings. That was the other thing that God mentions in Deuteronomy 27-28. So it's sad to see a nation full of churches that are as cursed as these churches are. It's rare to run into a church parking lot and walk into a church and see a birth rate of better than 1.5, 1.6. You just don't see it, Steve. You don't see it much. No, you don't. Not in this day and age. Now, our birth rate in our church is about 5.0. That's been pretty strong. Overall, it's been pretty strong. It's probably about three to four times. About 4.0? Yeah. It's three or four times what the average church is in America, which means that we're blessed. I really think, on average, we're actually a pretty blessed church. Now, not to say that God doesn't, in his blessing, give one person one child and another person eight children, but when you walk into a church, a community, and you want to know whether or not this is a blessed bunch, Well, they're going to have a bunch of children. On average, you'll be four, five, six. That's where it's going to be, if it's a blessed congregation. If the community is cursed, you're going to see birth implosions in those communities. You're going to see 1.5 kids per family, and that is a cursed church. You will know that's a cursed church by the few children they're having. And they may be having those children because they're a bunch of existentialistic, self-centered materialists, as most Americans are. That may be the case, in which case you just have to address that sin And you'll probably get five minutes from the pulpit, and that may be it, but address it, address it, and then we'll see if there's repentance to follow. Steve, before we're done, let's talk about the civil magistrate. Very, very difficult to prosecute things like this, like the morning-after pill, in the woman's womb. I mean, if she takes that sort of drug—now, I tend to be fairly loose on drug laws. In other words, I think in some cases the government ought to prosecute gross negligence, crimes done under the influence of drugs, etc. ought to be prosecuted really, really vehemently by the government. I think the government ought to just throw the book Adam, I mean, and hang him high on Saturday if they have done anything under the influence of drugs, etc. So there are forms of drug laws that I would support. But in general, the drug laws I'm seeing in this country, the entire FDA, etc., ought to be obliterated, just abolished. Because this idea of regulating the living daylights out of whatever people are going to ingest is a problem, as far as I'm concerned. And biblically, that stands. That position stands, and it stands strong. But it's really difficult to know whether a woman has indeed killed a specific baby in her womb, especially if the child is very, very young and very, very small. The evidence for that would be very, very minute. I mean, even if she had taken the pill, we would not have strong evidence that that pill effectively took the life of a child. That's the problem of the civil magistrate involved in this area. That's why it's hard for me to to think of a scenario in which the government could in any way prevent a woman from destroying a child when the child is very, very young and the conception has just occurred. Now if she's missed a period or two or what have you, now maybe we could talk about some evidence in those situations if the child is a parent under You know, the body is retrievable, and it's apparent under ultrasound or what have you, and that's a different story. But when the child is very, very young, and this morning after pill is being used, it's hard to know whether or not the parent has taken the life of the child. Now, so that leaves us with what? With the church. Really? With education. Yeah, with education. With pastors, with some guts, with chutzpah, to get up there and say, guys, we've got to love the image of God. I mean, we've got to preserve the image of God. Thou shalt not murder. That's the word of God. Those words are still in stone. Steve, I mean, I think that's what we're left with. But still, what do you say, as somebody about ready to run for the civil magistrate, I mean, what would you say? You're pro-life. What can you do? I mean, I suppose you could stop funding Planned Parenthood in this state. And by the way, I think 12 or 13 states have actually pulled funding. They have. They have. What can we do in Colorado? Well, we could mandate education from the doctors who are prescribing these to let them know, to say, hey, look, this is what could happen. If you're doing this, this is actually what is going on. The IUD does this. It prevents an implanted— Good point. So at the very least, you should be honest. Yeah. I mean, you're doing some kind of an exchange in the free market, but at least tell them what they're doing. in that exchange. Be honest. Oh, by the way, this kills kids. Exactly. Yeah. Otherwise, they could be brought up for crimes of negligence because they didn't tell. Right. And kids died because of what they did. And the reason people don't know is because nobody is telling them. And so they'll give them the bit about, okay, it's 98% effective. Right. And so 2% sounds like a lot. That's not much. 2%. But it's something. I mean, that's like saying, you know, you're probably going to lose, I mean, your kids are going to die about, you know, one in 50. So, you know, in our church, if everybody took the pill, about four of the kids are going to die. Just FYI, four of your kids are going to die. I think that's probably worth mentioning. Don't you think? I mean, you know, as a pastor, as a doctor in the congregation, oh, by the way, four of your kids are going to die. in your congregation, okay? I just want to give you the heads up. But see, it's not just in the congregation. It's everywhere. If you look at, if you say, okay, let's multiply this out over the fertile life of the woman. Okay, so now we've got 12 times. You're right, so it could happen two, three times a year. Or I'm sorry, once every two to three years. Once every two to three years. And so if you're, if your fertility is, if you're taking the pill from the time that you're 20 until you're 30, okay, so now you're, okay, so you're looking at, you're probably going to kill three or four of your own kids. Of your own children, multiply that times 40, 50 families, we could see 120 dead bodies in our church over the period of 30 to 40 years. That's worth mentioning. I think that's worth mentioning. And I think that we need to then say, this needs to be part of the education on birth control. This needs to be the education on the IUD, because that's going to be even greater. It's going to be a greater incidence in IUDs and in the morning after pill. And you would prosecute against abortion, surgical abortions. I mean, you really, as a consistent pro-lifer, That's got to stop. Take a position in the civil magistrate, Steve. I mean, you have got to stand up and say we can't be carving up human bodies and abortuaries in the state. Absolutely. And that needs to be shown. You know, as repugnant and as repulsive as it is, pictures and the videos need to be shown in the House and in the Senate so that they, because they're ignorant. This is what we're doing. Yes. This is what we're doing. This is what we've become. And let's just have a moment of silence just so we can know and really meditate on what we've become. And now let's ask for God's forgiveness. And here's a really piece, a good piece of legislation we should consider. Yeah, I think we need to have a few of those moments in the Colorado House and the Colorado Senate. Do you remember the lady who survived the abortion and she came down and she sang the Star Spangled Banner? I think it was. What an incredible story that was. I mean, praise God for that legislator that brought her in. Nobody mentioned who she was. Everybody said, oh, that's wonderful. That's wonderful. She did such a wonderful job. And she had missing arms and things because she barely survived an abortion. At the very end, she said, oh, by the way, I survived an abortion. I'm a survivor. Thank you very much. And boy, the ripples went through that group to understand exactly what they did. And of course, Barack Obama would have put her to death because if a child survived an abortion in the state of Illinois, Barack Obama was very firm on being sure that any child born alive in an abortion in the state of Illinois would be murdered, that life would cease. He was committed to that level of infanticide. And so there are very dangerous people out there, and we need to stand up strong, I think, in the legislatures and say, guys, you know, this is not what a civilized people does. It certainly isn't what a people does who believes that there is a God who created man in his image. Well, ladies and gentlemen, just a short discussion on the abortion issue today. I hope it's been helpful to you as we discuss various aspects of it, from the RU-486, to the day after pill, to the abortifacient qualities of the birth control pill, to surgical abortions. Friends, we have become a nation. that just utterly despises the image of God. And friends, we need to look at our hands and see the blood on our own hands. We need to see what we've become. I think we need a vision for this. We need God to open our eyes, because unless God opens our eyes and enables us to see what we've become, friends, we're going to see more and more Hitlers. We're going to see more and more Stalins. We're going to see more and more materialistic communists or what have you. take over in the civil magistrate and we may see the bloody, bloody work of euthanasia in the years to come, especially when 80 million baby boomers are retiring during a period of time when we're going through economic crunches and we're coming out of a time when 80 million baby boomers aborted approximately 80 million of their own children over the previous 50 to 60 years. Friends, I'm not looking at a future that's very, very bright for this nation, unless we wake up, unless the preachers across this country start preaching to this commandment, this very, very important commandment, and point out what has happened to us, whether it be those on the birth control pill, those who are taking the day after pill, or those who actually have gone to an abortion clinic and requested that a doctor murder the child in the womb. Ladies and gentlemen, we need to cry out to God for his forgiveness upon this nation. May God help us to see what we've done and may we embrace our own children with more love than we ever have had in the past. May we sacrifice our own lives in this incredibly selfish, self-centered, materialistic, existentialistic age. May we repent of that self-centeredness that produces so much blood, so much blood, blood on human hands everywhere.
