To All Those Who Fight For the Life of the Unborn Child --

If I could ask of you one thing, it would be to turn to the lives of the born, flesh and blood child that walks in your midst, perhaps even in your own home. If you fight to stop souls from being removed from wombs, I ask you to turn your passion to the souls of living children that are being crushed and removed, day by passing day.

The Market cares not for the soul of your child, at least not an individual and self-actualized soul. It wants to take your child, out of the womb of endless possiblity and create a little brand loyal fetus. A dead fetus that cannot think without being told what to think, that cannot buy without being told what to buy, that cannot live without being told how.

If you really believe that you are responsible for the unborn child, I ask you to see the unborn in those already living. I ask you to see the potential in those children in your care, and open your eyes to how society, and its foundational belief that happiness comes from buying - both things and ideas, is killing that unborn child.

The first commandment is, "You shall not worship any other God but the LORD." And, just one honest venture under a tree on Chirstmas morning, or a birthday party for a ten year old, or a watchful trip through Toys R Us will show you, bitterly, how society has failed in following this primary Law. It will take honest and prayerful examination, but if you can open your heart, abortion in action will be revealed to you in all sorts of spaces and places.

By the Power of God that you have been granted by your faith, I beg you to realize that society is killing our children. The marketing that is geared directly to them, in all forms and in all places, is vacuuming up that which is unique, beautiful, powerful and unborn in each and everyone of them.

Protest all that is important, lest there be nothing left to protest.
