SMASHING PUPPIES

Smashing the head of a puppy, or a kitten, with a sledgehammer is probably the most humane way to kill anything. It is instantaneous, as far as we know, and it is humane. Quick, and decisive and over. The only more humane way to dispose of an unwanted animal would be to inject it with something that would put it to sleep and then shut it down.

Yet, if you decided you wanted to get rid of an unwanted pet, and you chose to bash it's little head in with a sledgehammer, there would be those who would cry fowl and unleash every vile epithet, followed by some attempt to place you in jail and fine you a large sum of money. How is it that we seem perfectly happy to let a procedure be done to babies that is far more heinous, far more cruel, and far more painful.

Every year, nearly 1 million babies are torn apart with forceps, cut into little pieces with scalpels, tortured to death with no painkillers and no anesthesia? This is done under protection of law and in the most horrid of circumstances, in the mothers womb.

I recently read the account of what an abortion is, written by a nurse who was trying to refute the claims of Donald Trump about “ripping them out of the womb”. In her description, she carefully chose the phrase “dissection” using the words “sharp and blunt dissection”. The person who posted this explanation on my Facebook page, wanted to show that Trump wasn't telling the truth.

So, I explained to her what “Blunt instrument dissection” means. It means, for those of you who will not think about it, taking a pair of forceps into the womb and pulling off a leg, or an arm. It means, torturing a baby to death like one pulls the wings off of a fly. Meanwhile, the baby can be seen pulling away and opening it's mouth to scream. All of this with no pain killers and no anesthesia. How is it that this procedure has been allowed to continue for 40 years? It serve the purpose of both the Right to Life and the pro choice camps to not address it. 

You see, the pro choice group denies the baby has any sense of pain. It is one of the ways they distance the baby from being human. If you have to start treating the babies as human beings, then they might lose the support of those whom they have convinced this is not true. Plus, let's face it, pro choice folk are not exactly the most compassionate when it come to the unborn.

You would think the Right to Life groups would have worked to stop this. Not the idea of stopping the abortion, the idea of stopping the torture. But, it is the torture that makes abortion so heinous. If you were to get rid of the torture, then the argument against abortion might get weaker. That wouldn't serve the cause of the Right to Life campaign, so it is never discussed. It is never addressed. It is never ending.

We, you who are reading this post and I, need to stand up and shout about this. Millions of babies are being tortured to death is ways that we wouldn't allow to happen to a dog. The most inhumane treatment of any living creature is being perpetrated against human babies, supported by the government, protected by laws. It is wrong.

Surely, we could force our legislators to pass laws that would require babies be “put to sleep like a dog” before we allow them to be mutilated and dissected with “Sharp and blunt instrument dissection”. Surely it isn't unreasonable to use a small injection of a compound to end the life of the baby before that happens. The amount needed to kill a baby is tiny enough to not effect the mother. The umbilical could be clamped before the injection given.

I hope the start of this post made you angry. I hope that outrage has carried to the end. We need the outrage if we are going to motivate people to action.
