Jonah the Prophet: 'Woe' to the Ninevites

In the spirit of the Life Chain protest, and in the spirit of the Church's witness against evil, both of which you can read about here, here are ten woes against the nation that harbors and protects abortionists and their clients:

Woe to those who sacrifice their children in order to avoid hardship or inconvenience!

Woe to those who are so concerned with their own bodies that they refuse to acknowledge another's body living within them!

Woe to those who redefine humanity to exclude those they wish to extinguish!

Woe to those who will murder in order to avoid the consequences of their own actions!

Woe to those who think they are justified in killing someone because they themselves have been mistreated!

Woe to those who presume to judge another's quality of life in terms of their own, and conclude (conveniently) that the other's life is not "worthwhile!"

Woe to those who have no wish to preserve and care for the weakest among us, for they will find themselves rejected, and afflicted with pain and weeping!

Woe to those who cannot see people with great weaknesses and impairments as beautiful, precious, and potentially wise!

Woe to the President who politely tells the public that 1.4 million babies' lives are not worth the same as women's "right to choose" and people's right to "disagree," and that therefore, no, he will not be doing anything to stop the murder of babies in the womb!

Woe to those who believe women should have the "right to choose" who lives and who dies in this country!

Abortion survivor Gianna Jessen said well:  "There are things you can only learn from the weakest among us.  And if you snuff them out, you are the ones who lose."  Indeed, the loss will be dire.  The loss will be more than the absence of those we have killed.  It will be the loss that Sodom experienced; the loss that comes as God's wrath is unleashed on a wicked nation; it is the loss that comes when the blood-stained land finally rejects its inhabitants, finding release and rest from violence; and it is the loss that comes when God finally vindicates the victim, the weak, and the oppressed, banishing the authors of their suffering forever.
