PA abortion clinics still in the news

Well the abortion clinics made the news again here in Pennsylvania.  Health inspectors have ordered 14 of the states 22 abortion clinics to correct problems found.  What is even more disturbing is the fact that these inspections have only started again last year after a 15 year layoff.  If this is a “medical” procedure why aren’t these house of horrors regulated to the “nth” degree like my local doctor’s office is?  Just think Christians you can kill babies and in some cases the mothers in an uninspected room with baby parts sitting in plastic bags, jars, and even in the refrigerator like in some macabre horror film of the 1970’s?  This is just one reason that this killing field must be stopped – legally through our elected officials and our democratic practices.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health located in Harrisburg found that abortion clinics in York, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Allentown, East Liberty, Upland, West Chester, Reading, Norristown, Warminster, and in Harrisburg had several violations to include not monitoring blood pressure, pulse, and oxygen levels (I’m no doctor but this seems important during a procedure); not examining tissue from first trimester abortions to see if the women were actually pregnant (Yikes), among others.  In Harrisburg specifically the inspectors found that there will bags of pills that were unlabeled as well as posting the names of women who were having abortions that day on the wall for all to see.  How is that confidentiality and HIPPA rules working out there?  There is supreme irony here is the attempt to make an abortion clinic safe for everyone but the baby. Let's not forget, no matter what barbaric treatment women receive at abortion clinics, the babies received worse.
Let us work together to end this slaughter of innocents and take it from the “No man is going to tell me what I can do with my body” childish argument to the eternal consequences for this selfish decision.  Most abortions (93%) occur for a social reason like the mother doesn’t want another child or it is simply inconvenient for them to bring it to term.  I have on other occasions laid out the alternatives, like adoptions, that we as Christians must use to support those women who are hurting and in need of spiritual guidance.  Let us preach the actual Word of God from our pulpits instead of politically correct social justice mumbo-jumbo so we can all learn that abortion is wrong.  Let us hear what God said to the prophet Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."  God knows each one of us while we are in the womb – why do we think we know better than God in these circumstances?
