It can’t be news that the Gray Lady — the unofficial title
of the New York Times — is militantly
pro-abortion. It might even be called a house organ of the
abortion lobby.
But a recent
lengthy story in the Times (“The New
Abortion Providers,” July 12, 2010) is a goldmine of information
for pro-lifers about this execrable traffic.
Did you know that Warren Buffett has given $3 billion —
yes, three billion dollars — to promote
abortion here in the U.S. and around the world? Often, government
officials in developing countries are under pressure to control
population in order to qualify for international aid. So they
pressure women in the villages to get abortions. Western Europe
is especially strong in pushing for abortion in these developing
countries.
The Times article quotes Buffett’s
late wife telling interviewer Charlie Rose, “Warren feels that
women all over the world get shortchanged. That’s why he’s so
pro-choice.”
The article tells us after Susan Thompson Buffett moved
from Omaha, Nebraska, to San Francisco in 1977, she and Warren
remained close. She even introduced Warren to the woman he has
lived with since 1978. This threesome would send out Christmas
cards together, the Times informs
us.
Warren Buffett strongly backed Barack Obama. On January 23,
2009, President Obama’s first official act was to open the sluice
gates of taxpayer support for abortion worldwide. The U.S. has
now joined those exerting pressure on women in Africa, Asia, and
Latin America. We may be going broke, but Planned Parenthood is
still making a killing.
Abortion promotion is a national security crisis for the
U.S. Men and women in the Third World get it. They know that by
pressing abortion on their countries — as Joe Biden
has done recently in Kenya — the Obama administration wants
fewer of them. These peoples will become
fertile ground for anti-Americanism.
The Times also reports abortionists
in this country are “startled by some poll numbers that for the
first time, more Americans call themselves pro-life than
pro-choice — a shift that includes young people.” The author of
the article, a zealous pro-abortion writer named Emily Bazelon,
noted that four of seven medical residents in one training
program she witnessed chose not to take
part in abortion.
All over the world, it seems, abortion traffickers are
losing support. Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood center
director from Texas, quit and joined the pro-life side. Her story
made headlines on Fox News, on cable shows, and on the talk show
circuit.
Of course, not all abortionists are affected by these
changing currents of opinion. The respected journal First
Things carried this stunning item last
January:
In stark and sad contrast to the story of Abby Johnson is the
story of a doctor in the Midwest who wrote about her own moment
of disillusionment. It came as she performed an abortion on a
woman eighteen weeks pregnant while she herself was eighteen
weeks pregnant. “I felt a kick — a fluttery ‘thump, thump’ in
my own uterus. It was one of the first times I felt fetal
movement. There was a leg and foot in my forceps, and a ‘thump,
thump’ in my abdomen. Instantly, tears were streaming from my
eyes — without me — meaning my conscious brain — even being
aware of what was going on. I felt as if my response had come
entirely from my body, bypassing my usual cognitive processing
completely. A message seemed to travel from my hand and my
uterus to my tear ducts. It was an overwhelming feeling — a
brutally visceral response — heartfelt and unmediated by my
training or my feminist pro-choice politics.”
Horrifyingly, for this woman, unlike Abby Johnson, that
was not the end of it. Her illusion was gone, but she continued
to perform abortions. “Doing second trimester abortions did not
get easier after my pregnancy,” she said. “In fact, dealing
with little infant parts of my born baby only made dealing with
dismembered fetal parts sadder.”
First Things has long led in
reporting important news about the Culture of Life. From this
source, we learn that 78% of abortion facilities are located in
or near minority neighborhoods in this country.
Is it, therefore, any surprise to learn that Warren Buffett
has joined the club of billionaires who pressure black and brown
women around the world to kill their unborn children? Planned
Parenthood is the favorite charity of many billionaires. The
problem Buffett and others of his ilk have is the weeping
abortionists. The law that is written on our heart tells us
not to kill our own kind. Even if all the
people on earth hardened their hearts to those kicks, those
fluttery thump-thumps, the very stones would cry out.
