Tombs of the Unknowns.

 

There have been 40 million abortions in the US since 1973.  There are
2.7 abortions performed every minute.  Imagine 40 million tiny
gravestones gleaming in the sunlight on the grassy slope of Normandy or
at Arlington National Cemetery.  While we post sentries at the Tomb of
the Unknowns in Washington that contain the remains of our youth fallen
in battle, there is no tomb for these little bones.

 It is unknown to us what these nameless little "unknowns" may have
been, or may have done to help build what John Winthrop referred to as a
"City set on a Hill."  We are told that Jesus wept while standing
outside the Tomb of Lazarus.  It is a wonder that America is not
weeping, wearing sackcloth and ashes, or Christians are not building
another Mayflower to sail away on, before the Almighty completely
flattens our city on a hill.   We "flatter" ourselves too much about
being the greatest nation.  

 No nation can be great while being built on the bones of the least.
Every little aborted being has left behind an empty womb and a haunted,
hollow heart that tries hard to excuse or explain away an absence and
the awful choice made to crush the most helpless.  Only God knows how
many would-be-mothers drove to work today worried about paying a heavy
mortgage on a bankrupt soul.  

 In November some will move a switch in a voting booth of self interest,
thinking they are doing good, when in fact they will be pulling the
lever on a gallows that may one day be all that is left of a once great
nation that wanted to harvest stem cells while throwing away the little
souls that made them sacred.
