If evil had a face

LeRoy CarhartSorry to be Debbie Downer on a Monday but this is all I've got: what's been on my mind for two days.

My daughter Audrey called me on Saturday and during the conversation we both shed tears and this was the subject: abortion.

The reason we were discussing such a frustrating and depressing subject is that she asked me if I was aware of late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart, who uses his God-given talents and abilities to end the lives of children up to and including the day before they are due to be born.

If you have ever held a newborn baby in your arms, just think about that for a moment.

Last week Carhart carried out a hit on Baby Madison Leigh at thirty-three weeks gestation, killing her in the womb of her twenty-nine-year-old mother, Jennifer Leigh McKenna Morbelli.

The next day -- that would be last Thursday -- Jennifer Morbelli died. Her family's attempts to contact the doctor late-term abortionist in the hours leading up to her death were unsuccessful.

By the way, Jennifer Morbelli was a married woman and a kindergarten teacher. It is believed she died of massive internal hemorrhaging.

In other words, a botched abortion.

At any rate I doubt you've heard about this incident because the lamestream media, whose dark sacrament is "safe and legal" abortion all the way to term, are ignoring it. 

The only news outlets reporting the story so far are conservative, faith-based online sites.

I was not surprised to learn from my daughter that Carhart was friends with the late George Tiller -- who pioneered the process of injecting the tiny beating heart of a full-term baby with digoxin, bringing about "fetal demise" -- and feels it is his mission in life to carry on Tiller's work.

Because he cares about women there's a whole lot of money in it.

This is where I get stuck, and this is why I was crying when I talked about it to my daughter, who when she was born weighed eight pounds and was the most beautiful baby anyone ever saw.

When a pregnant woman presents herself to one of these monsters for a late-term abortion, her baby -- the one that's been kicking at her insides for months -- is first killed with the shot to the heart.

Then the woman is put through two more days of things that sound like torture -- follow the link provided if you have the stomach to read about the MOLD technique, explained on the Operation Rescue website -- before having to endure labor and delivery.

This is my question: Why in the name of all that makes sense would a woman go through an entire pregnancy, with all of the discomfort and inconvenience thereto appertaining, then go through the physical and emotional agony of labor, only to deliver a dead child?

When tens of thousands of couples who cannot have children, wait years to adopt a baby?

In this case, according to what I have read, it was because the as-yet-unborn Baby Madison had been "diagnosed" with a seizure disorder.

And of course we know doctors are never wrong.

I am not here to judge Jennifer Leigh Morbelli. She paid with her life and she will stand before her Creator someday, just as I will and just as you will.

But waiting to give birth to a perfect person is like waiting for all traffic lights to turn green -- and stay green -- before getting into your car and going anywhere.

If that was what my mother was waiting for, I certainly would never have been born.

And what a tragedy that would have been. Thanks, Mom, for choosing life (and for never even considering anything else). I love you. See you tomorrow.

Surely the world is upside down when such horror is permitted and legal to happen. I too am ever so thankful that my mom decided to have me, she was very sick, and didn't know if I would be born alive, she had 4 babies before me die, so it was indeed a risk, but alas here I am. She loved me to her dying day, as I love her. I cannot believe how a "doctor" can do this. We must pray and pray hard and often for change and for those poor babies, and even more for mothers so that they may choose life.

Now you've got me crying gir. No one who does murder like this should have the title of Doctor in front of their name! How these monsters can sleep at night is beyond me.
I think of true mothers like my Kristin and your Stephanie who mourn the unfortunate loss of their unborn babies. And then who welcome a precious little Andrew, and my expected sweet great-granddaughter.
And now the tears of your beautiful baby at the end of your post have me tearing up once again.
And my friend, I'm questioning if LeRoy Carhart has God-given talents...sounds like he worships another God...MONEY!!! .........G.

@Irene ... I am glad your precious mother gave you life too. A world without you would be a sad one. And I am glad you were able to celebrate life with her as long as the two of you had together.

@Glenda ... I mean by that, any ability anyone has in any area is given to them by God. How they use it is up to them, and we know the sad truth: many use their God-given intellect to do evil.

[Glenda]

I agree sweetie, just think God is sad at how His gift to this man is used!

I read about it on the news. It is beyond words.

This is so heartbreaking! You're right - I haven't heard any of this story and am not likely to except through christian media.
I can not and will not ever understand how a woman could do this or how any medical professional who has sworn to do no harm can ever justify taking part in this.
I have no more words...

Dear Pirate
I know you despise facebook, but I am sharing this post on there for my friends to read. There are so many things to fret about lately that sometimes we forget to be agitated about this abomination.
Love
Hobbit

@Donna M .... agreed. I forced myself to find some because somebody has to say something.

@Mari ... after I posted this I thought I should have named it "First Do Harm" because that seems to be the thing these people are in such an all-fired rush to do.

@Hobbit ... it's true I have no use for facebook but naturally I think it's wonderful you'd share my post. Thanks luv.
