Something smells rotten in Texas

By: American Decency Staff

If you follow the right people on social media, or if you get this organization's publications, you've heard of David Daleiden and the Center for Medical Progress. If your main source of news is network television and the mainstream media, however, you may not have heard anything about the undercover documentary series which exposed Planned Parenthood's perverse side business of parting out the babies they kill to medical research companies.

The videos, which received millions of views, sparked state and federal investigations into Planned Parenthood, led many to hope that Center for Medical Progress' goal would be accomplished and that Planned Parenthood would lose its federal funding. In fact, several states did pull funding as a result of the documentary series.

Now there is news of an indictment as a result of the undercover recordings, but it's not the indictment that any sane, morally-minded person would expect.

The organization which makes a profit from slaughtering babies in the womb and cutting their bodies into pieces for individual sale, like some kind of sick junkyard of humanity – that organization was found by a Harris County, Texas Grand Jury to be cleared of wrongdoing. The individuals who exposed the gut-wrenching actions of Planned Parenthood, David Daleiden and his colleague, Sandra Merritt, on the other hand, have been indicted for tampering with government records and, get this, trying to buy body parts.

So Planned Parenthood isn't guilty of selling body parts, but the investigative journalist exposing them is charged with buying them.  As a Daleiden said himself in a statement regarding the indictment, “We… note that buying fetal tissue requires a seller as well…"

As for the tampering with government records charge, Daleiden and Merritt gained access to Planned Parenthood offices using fake California IDs.

And so, the ideology of self-centeredness and abortion entrenches itself deeper into our culture, burrowing like a tick into the flab of our amoral standards.

Now America doesn't just kill babies and sell their precious bodies to laboratories, we threaten those who see that as a problem with 20 years in prison.

"America, America, God shed His grace on thee," and this is how we repay Him.

When Cain killed his brother, Abel, God said, "The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground."

God takes note of innocent bloodshed, and there are oceans of it leaking from the doors of over 700 Planned Parenthood facilities across this country. And to our own shame, our government has not only legalized, we've subsidized it, and now we've defended it.

In his second inaugural address, Abraham Lincoln acknowledged that God's justice reaches into the realm of the government, as well as that of the individual.

Referring to another horrific human rights violation one time legalized, subsidized, and defended by the United States Government, and the Civil War which ensued, he said,

"Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

God is just, and if we cannot rid our nation of this horror, and if men who stand up against it like David Daleiden will be oppressed by those charged with upholding justice, that is a terrifying thought indeed.
