When People Try To Shut You Down

/ warriorwoman91 / Leave a comment

I’m frequently inundated with tweets from so-called “Christians” telling me that I should spend less time talking about politics. According to some, I’m “obsessive” when it comes to divisive and controversial issues such as abortion, and as a Christian I ought to spend more time talking about the Gospel.

My contention is that the reason why abortion has become such a large scale institution is precisely because Christians have not been more outspoken. We’ve been cowered into silence, whether it’s by the threat of losing tax exempt status, or because we’re afraid of push back, or we just don’t care. Christians absolutely need to be involved in political and social issues, as we’re seeing the tragic and horrendous consequences of our ignorance.

Now this is not to say that Christians should not talk about the Gospel–of course we should. However, if the idea of talking about the Gospel exclusively, means ignoring the hundreds of thousands of children aborted every year or pretending that the issue doesn’t exist if we don’t talk about it, then you can count me out. I refuse to have my freedom of speech shut down by people who either disagree with or are threatened by my beliefs.

Think Before You Tweet

One night I was perusing through the #iHateItWhenPeople hashtag and I noticed this gem of a tweet from a self proclaimed liberal.

I would just like to ask my dear friend Jesse if he took the time to read my bio in which I describe myself as a Christian conservative (among other things), would the first thing that came to his mind be a stereotype? Do you think of a sheltered, home schooled girl still wet behind the ears that “clings to God and guns?” Well it turns out that Jesse (from NorCal) actually believes in a few stereotypes as well, demonstrated in a previously retweeted post.

This retweet clearly expresses the false stereotype that prolifers only care about unborn children, and don’t give a rip about what happens to them after they are born.  Perhaps by retweeting this false stereotype of cruelty and heartlessness Jesse was trying to explain to us why we shouldn’t believe media narratives or political caricatures–or perhaps not. It’s unfortunate that the same people that cry against bigotry only seem to desire open-mindedness for opinions that they agree with, while stereotyping those they do not.

Man Tricks Girlfriend Into Taking Abortion Pill, But Why The Murder Charge?

So this guy is charged with murder for allegedly tricking his girlfriend into taking an abortion pill. He apparently switched the pills inside her bottle of prescription drug with the abortion pills after she refused to abort the baby at his insistence. My question is why the murder charge? If the fetus is not viable in the eyes of the court in the case of an abortion with a consenting woman, what changes it to viable in the case of a non-consenting woman?

My point: it’s either a human being, or it isn’t. The differentiation between whether the woman wants the child or not doesn’t change the fact that it is a living person being destroyed in the most inhumane way.  Why else would Kermit Gosnell have to sever the spines of abortion survivors or shove their bodies into jars of poison if they were not living?!

These morbid scenarios occur largely because we have allowed them to.  Premarital sex has become the norm, and with it abortion as it destroys 1/3 of children born in the United States.  The outrage regarding these crimes has been stifled by a willfully silent media, and a largely uninterested public.  How long will the atrocity of human sacrifice to the god of convenience to continue? As long as we let it.
