Pro-Abortion still on the aganda!!!

[Nic Samojluk]

The Bible clearly condemns the shedding of innocent blood,(wrong, read the OT)

[Nic Samojluk]

I disagree that pictures make any difference to the majority. I had a friend that was a heavy smoker, he worked for a cancer research place, I don't recall the name. But he used to tell me all about the images that he'd see there. He said it grossed him out but yet he kept right on smoking. He also knew the consequence's of smoking.

You’re right! The majority will not be impressed by the evidence. The warnings are for the benefit of the minority who will listen and change their behavior.

[Nic Samojluk]

That is what we call a strawman. It is typical for people that ramble on and on and on and on. The defeat is sound when the strawmen come out.

The German Adventist Church aligned itself with Hitler while he was engaged in the genocide of the Jews. Our current Adventist Church has allowed some of our hospitals to participate in the current genocide of the unborn. Where are the straw men?

Our guilt is greater than that of the German Adventist, because they simply cooperated with the Nazi regime, while we are actively participating in the current genocide. Wake up, Shane and smell the stench of the dismembered bodies of innocent babies.

[Nic Samojluk]

I reckon you never get tired of making unfounded accusations for your cause.

Unfounded? What kind of foundation you want me to provide for my theory that the church has deviated from the original pro-life position of the Adventist of the early pioneers? I have provided 300 pages full of hundreds of references from Adventist sources, and you still claim that my theory is unfounded?

Serious Adventist scholars have testified that our current position on abortion is pro-choice instead of the pro-life position of the early pioneers. Do you deny this? An investigative work by the “Washington Post” has revealed that hundreds of abortions were being performed at our Washington Adventist Hospital. Do you discount this as unfounded accusations?

A survey conducted by Loma Linda University revealed that five of our own hospitals were offering elective abortions to their patients. Is this also unfounded? Jim Walters, a leading Loma Linda University ethicist, did admit that our church has moved to the pro-choice position on abortion in his book “What is a Person.” Is this also unfounded?

Adventist historian George Gainer revealed that elective abortions were being conducted at our Castle Memorial Hospital in Hawaii a couple of years prior to the legalization of abortion by the U.S. Supreme Court. Is this also unfounded.

Nobody I know has provided so much documentation from Adventist sources confirming that our church is pro-choice, and you still insist that I am making unfounded accusations? If you continue making such claims, sooner or later you will loose credibility.

[Nic Samojluk]

Personally I'm opposed to abortion but I also believe breaking the Sabbath is wrong.

I agree. Killing innocent human beings is wrong and Sabbath breaking is wrong. Both Commandments are very important; nevertheless, if I worship God on the wrong day of the week, nobody dies as a result of my disobedience; this is not true about abortion. The legalization of abortion has resulted in the genocide of fifty million unborn babies so far. Can we say the same about Sabbath breaking.

As Christians, we are citizens of the heavenly kingdom, but as Americans we are citizens of our country, and we have the duty to vote for politicians who will work for the protection of the life of all the human being under the jurisdiction of the American government, including the unborn, unless someone can prove that the unborn are not human.

The fact is that if a woman wants the baby, the government will claim that what was killed was a human being and the killer will be guilty of murder; but if the woman doesn’t want the baby, then no crime has been committed. Do you understand this legal conundrum?

How can a baby be human and non human at the same time and the final decision contingent on the whims of a quite often confused and mentally depressed pregnant woman?

[Nic Samojluk]

Quote:

Just one example of your 'pick and choose' methods....you did not include the texts where women and children were wiped out, as ordered, from various nations during battles.

I presume that you are referring to those instances where God ordered the killing. My question to you is: Do we have a divine order to exterminate the unwanted unborn babies? I suppose that you will agree with me that we don’t. In addition, we have a prohibition against the killing of innocent human beings.

[Nic Samojluk]

That picture on your "brochure" - or the explanation for it - must be contrived. Saline does NOT burn skin!!!! Have you been in the ocean lately? Did it burn your skin? The ocean itself has a salinity of roughly 35% (35 g/L). Saline solutions given by IV in the hospital are 0.9% at the maximum. Scientific experiments can be done with approximately 58g/L. I've spilled it on myself. It didn't burn me. Abortions caused by saline solution occur because the saline promotes contractions.

[Nic Samojluk]

Here is the testimony of a woman who survived a saline abortion, and she claims that she was “burned alive for 18 hours.” She has cerebral palsy but enjoys life, but she has forgiven her birth mother for the permanent and irreversible damage done to her. This was reported by the BBC of London.

Quote:

Pro-choice groups say that while hers is a distressing story it is unusual and that guidelines are in place in the UK to stop live births after abortions. ...

"The saline solution injected into the mother is to burn the baby, which gulps it in the womb," she said.

"But after being literally burned alive for 18 hours I was delivered live. ...

[Dr. Shane]

The German Adventist Church aligned itself with Hitler while he was engaged in the genocide of the Jews. Our current Adventist Church has allowed some of our hospitals to participate in the current genocide of the unborn. Where are the straw men?

The Adventist church in Germany and Austria promoted allegiance to Hitler. This was done so that it would survive under the Nazi government.

The Adventist church in the US does not promote the use of abortion. Even if it did, it would not be so that it would survive under the US government.

Put a fire to that strawman. Burn him up.

[Dr. Shane]

The church condemns 90 percent of abortions and also condones the same.

Nope. Not so. The church's guidelines on abortion condemn over 90% of abortions in the US. That's it.

Harvesting Organs

The following is excerpted from an article in the January 1996 issue of Rutherford, the official journal of the Rutherford Institute (Charlottesville, VA). We have added subheads.

When reports of Chinese citizens eating human fetuses for health reasons surfaced in Hong Kong last year, many dismissed them as fiction . . , but when Eastweek and Eastern Express, two English- language publications based in Hong Kong, investigated, the reporters were in for a shock.

DISCOVERY IN CHINA

One investigator feigned illness and asked a Shenzhen hospital doctor for fetuses. Holding up a fistsized glass bottle stuffed with ten thumb-sized unborns, the doctor said, “[They were] all aborted this morning. You can take them. We are a state-run hospital and don’t charge anything.” A private hospital spokesman offered to sell the reporters full-term unborn, which he claimed “contain the best healing qualities.”

Zou Qin, a doctor who claimed to have aborted several hundred unborn and eaten 100 fetuses herself,

said, “People normally prefer [fetuses from] young women, and even better, the first boy and a

male.”

She justifies the practice: “They are wasted if we don’t eat them . ..Zou Qin has fed fetuses to her

sister’s children. “I wash them with clear water until they look transparent white and then stew them. Making soup is best.” A photo depicts Zou Qin smiling, holding up a tiny fetus which hasn’t made it to her bowl yet.

WHAT DO WE DO HERE?

The stories are gruesome and almost unreal. Eating babies? But that, of course, is China, we say. In

America, we abort babies, but we don’t eat them.

Or do we?

The ongoing American debate over using fetuses in medicine bears some striking parallels to China.

One big difference is that America better understands the importance of “spin” and proper marketing

techniques . .

Donating one’s own organs, or even allowing a loved one’s untimely death to take on added meaning by permitting doctors to use her organs to help another, has a long and respectable history. But by interweaving the taking of life with the giving of life, medicine and science begin to confuse their mission. A quick mention of the aborted fetus, and then on to the happy ending, the discovery, the patient’s cure, the family’s joy!

Real life isn’t that simple.

FETAL RESEARCH IN AMERICA

The history of fetal research is inextricably linked to the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion

on demand in America. Other than a very few failed experiments around mid-century, little fetal research had been done before the 1970s. Roe and its progeny placed the preborn human’s body into legal limbo. Thus it became possible to observe the incredible irony of using the body parts of an allegedly non-human fetus to treat specifically human ailments. The heart might still beat, and the [unborn] child feel pain, but the fetus was now considered a “product.”

And like most products, “The fresher, the better.” Deterioration of brain tissue, as well as other bodily organs, commences almost immediately after death. So it became important to create an efficient assembly line which would seamlessly take the baby from the warm womb to deep frozen sterility . .

Finnish and American scientists did an experiment in 1973, described in Newsweek:

“[The team] decapitated a dozen human fetuses, each aborted live through hysterotomy, and kept the heads alive artificially for study. The ghoulish experiment—partially funded by the National Institute of Health—was designed to measure fetal metabolism. At about the same time, another research team kept a batch of aborted fetuses alive in saline solution in order to find out if they could absorb oxygen. One fetus survived for nearly a day.”

STILL BEING DONE TODAY

In 1974, responding to public censure of such science, Congress banned the federal funding of research on aborted fetuses, and tightened those restrictions in 1985. This did not, however, forbid private institutions from conducting fetal research, since the fetus is not protected by law in the U.S. And the restrictions on [federal] funding were not total: Fetal tissue transplant research, which to this day remains the most medically and monetarily promising “use” for the unborn, was sponsored by the NIH until 1988, when President Reagan’s administration imposed a moratorium on such funding.

Much fetal tissue research remained unaffected by the moratorium, which continued under the Bush administration. The National Committee for a Human Life Amendment observed:

“Since the Moratorium took effect, NIH has spent more than $23.4 million to support 295 research projects involving human fetal tissue.”

As the old reporters’ saw goes, “Follow the money.” During the 1980s and early 90s, research pressed

on in a number of areas.

ONE OF THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL: AT LOMA LINDA UNIVERSITY

One of the most controversial programs of the 1980s was that of Loma Linda University Medical

Center, who chose to “harvest” the organs of [live] infants with some or most of their brains missing.

The harvesting did, of course, cause the death of such infants; but, since these infants did not in Loma Linda’s opinion qualify for personhood, their organs were considered fair game. In 1988 the University gave up the program—but not for moral reasons: The transplants didn’t work.

LOMA LINDA RESEARCH CONTINUES

Loma Linda’s, and other American, fetal research does have a Chinese connection. As Loma Linda’s

Medical Center notes in an Internet post:

“A fetal brain bank has been established at Hua Shan Hospital, where fetal brain tissue is held in

cryogenic [super cold] preservation as part of a long range basic sciences research program. Parkinson’s is only one of many potential uses for the tissue samples.”

The [LLU] Internet post goes on to note that, for qualified doctors, “potential withdrawals” are available from the Chinese “brain bank.”

In addition, seven North American Parkinson’s sufferers were taken to China between 1989 and 1991 for fetal transplants. [About this project of theirs, the LLU post notes:]

“Success was impressive, but the long standing ban on [aborted] fetal tissue research made this kind of surgery impractical in the U.S.”

And Dr. Z.S. Tang, a fetal tissue research pioneer from China’s Shanghai Medical University and Hua

Shan Hospital, was a visiting professor at Loma Linda University Medical Center during the summer

and fall of 1992.

A Loma Linda doctor, Robert P. Iacono, returned Tang’s visit by doing fetal tissue graft implants in China.

Back in the U.S., in only the third day of his presidency, Bill Clinton repealed the Reagan/Bush ban in order, he said, to “free science and medicine from the grasp of politics” . .

WHY THE INDUSTRY WANTS PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTIONS

But the industry has continued to research and develop their “product.”

Though many pro-lifers have heard about the newest abortion method, the so-called “D&X” [dilation

and extraction, more commonly known as partial-birth abortion], few know that the method is often touted as a superior way to obtain “undamaged” viable fetal tissue. Former abortionist Bernard Nathanson described the technique as used by Swedish doctors harvesting unborns’ brain tissue for treating Parkinson’s disease:

“Pregnant women at 13 to 18 weeks are placed on an operating table, the cervix is dilated, the bag of water is broken, the fetal head is guided into position just above the open cervix, the fetal skull is drilled open and a suction device is placed into the brain . . the brain substance is then suctioned out and placed immediately on ice to preserve its viability, then the fetus is aborted.”

Similar processes, according to Nathanson, are used in procuring fetal pancreas, fetal liquid and fetal thymus . .

WHERE WE ARE HEADED

And finally, the runway is being smoothed for full-blown research on living, fertilized embryos, including those artificially inseminated in the laboratory. If embryos, why not grow fetuses in the lab as

well? Scientists could then replace laboratory rats with a superior “product” more closely related to the human species.

When, in late 1994, an NIH panel recommended giving the green light to embryo experimentation,

First Things observed:

“We are confident that most people, to the extent that they are aware of the Panel’s recommendation,

experience an immediate and strong revulsion. This is not to be dismissed as an irrational reaction.

It signals a deep, intuitive awareness of lines that must not be crossed if we are to maintain our sometimes fragile hold upon our own humanity.”

Loma Linda Harvesting Organs http://www.sdadefend.com/Abortion/Harvest-organs.pdf

[Nic Samojluk]

The Adventist church in Germany and Austria promoted allegiance to Hitler. This was done so that it would survive under the Nazi government.

[Nic Samojluk]

Nope. Not so. The church's guidelines on abortion condemn over 90% of abortions in the US. That's it.

Nope? Yep! You have not thought this through. The guidelines allow for the “health” exception. Ninety percent of abortions are performed because the pregnant woman doesn’t want the baby. She is mentally depressed as a result of an unplanned pregnancy. The number of abortions for other causes—rape, malformation, incest—do not exceed a small percentage of the total.

[Nic Samojluk]

Quote:

You have a strange view of God.....He can kill the innocent or order it done by others. It must be some other God I am not aware of. If that is what you believe than I can understand your position better, although I disagree with it.

A strange view of God? It is the biblical view. The Lord of the Bible is the creator and he did have the right to exterminate the corrupt pre-flood generation of rebels whose thoughts were bent on evil and blood shed. Jesus did make reference to those who perished by the flood. He also predicted that all the rebels will be finally eradicated from the universe.

This is the only way evil will be finally eliminated. But do not forget that Noah warned that evil generation about the coming flood and offered them a chance to find refuge in the ark he was building. They refused the offer of life and salvation. Likewise, the Lord is giving sinners and rebels ample time to repent and avoid the fire of hell reserved for the Devil and his angels.

Take a breather!!!!!! You will find out that the sun comes out tomorrow!!

Yes, the sun will come out tomorrow, but not for the 50 million which were aborted.

It's too bad Nic sees fit to keep quoting air-head sources that are so biased you can see them coming a mile away.

Would you prefer if I started quoting these sources? Would it make a diffrence in your favor?

Get rid of that strawman. Burn him up!

Whether the church promotes abortion or simply condones it the end product is the same: hundreds of dead babies in our own hospitals.

The church does not condone any abortions. None. It condemns over 90% of abortions and leaves the individual believer the right to make their own decisions for the other less than 10%.

Politically, our church is doing EXACTLY the right thing. In Germany, the church took sides in a political issue (and took the wrong side). With abortion, the church take neither side. The church in Germany should have done with Hitler what the church is doing today with abortion.

Get rid of the strawman. Burn him up!

I see things from a different perspective. In Germany under Hitler, the church compromised for the sake of the survival of the entire denominational structure in those countries. Our church in the U.S. compromised for fear of loosing the profit derived from a lucrative business. Read the story of how it started as related by George Gainer.

Likewise, in Rwanda, Adventists killed innocent human beings under extreme duress: Their choice was: Kill or be killed. Today we kill—not to protect our lives from a sure death—but rather to protect our lifestyle. Our guilt is so much greater. If we fail when the moral test is comparatively light, what shall we do when the big test comes and we will have to choose between life and death as predicted by our prophet?

Destroyed babies and children of the OT were rebels??????

No, they were innocent. So were the babies and children of the pre-flood generation. The same thing can be said about the babies and innocent children who perished as a result of our war against Hitler. Collateral damage is a natural result of our fight against evil. Innocent children suffer the consequences of the wrong choices made by their parents or the national leaders.

When God orders the destruction of evildoers, he takes the moral responsibility for those actions. Death is a temporary outcome, and in the resurrection day the Lord can restore to eternal life those who perished in their innocence. We can’t do this, which means that we should not try to play God.

The Lord has not given us the moral right to take the life of innocent human beings. We need to differentiate between the collateral damage from the deliberate and intentional practice of targeting the weak and defenseless members of society.
