March For Life

This past weekend across the United States, from Washington D.C. to San Francisco, people have gathered to march in support for the life and implicitly, against abortion. 

For years I have taken no position because I did not know what to think until I realized that life in the flesh is a gift of God and it is precious, and it is coveted by spirits hoping to experience incarnation [1], [2].  Applying a worldly concept of wishing to be like someone who is admired, the number of spirits desiring to be incarnated probably rose exponentially after the Son of God was Himself in the flesh.  After this realization, I am against abortion, although I continue to believe in the Free Will of those who choose to terminate their pregnancies.  They would ultimately have to face the consequences of their conduct. [3]

In favoring life and the celebration of life, I would like for those who are thinking of ending their pregnancies think about their own lives, despite the struggles, how they have, at times, enjoyed being alive, being able to feel, to laugh and to cry, to love and be loved, and then think of not ever having the opportunity to experience the breadth and the depth of living in the flesh with a soul, a gift from God, as a result of abortion.

[2] At some point I contemplated on the Free Will of a person not wanting to be born and that being born contradicted his will.  That was wrong because the concept of not wishing to be born does not exist since whoever is born had an intense desire to be incarnated when it was still a spirit.  A spirit that does not want to be incarnated is not obligated to be incarnated.  The number of spirits that cannot wait for the chance to be born is innumerable and the number of births in every century fall far short of that number.

Star Parker

This morning was the first time I saw and heard Star Parker, founder and president of CURE, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education.  She was speaking against abortion on EWTN and during her presentation she threw in some zingers that were directed at secularism and socialism in America.  They were veiled but pointed criticisms of the current administration.  As a dreamer, I played in my mind the hypothetical but foregone possibility that if Star Parker were the candidate for president instead of Mitt Romney, if she would have won.  Of course not.  That was not part of God's plan.  She is God's pick to speak the truth and what politician does that?  However, as a romanticist, I imagined that election night would have been a nail-biter.

For some reason, God's picks seem to have angelic features, that is not to say that Satan's minions are unattractive for they are not.  They have to look sufficiently tantalizing to beguile.  Appearance aside, both God's picks and Satan's minions are equally intelligent and capable for they both come from God except the latter ones are too internally weak to resist the fruit of temptation.  When I saw Star Parker standing behind the podium, it might as well have a presidential seal in front of it because of her beauty, charisma, articulateness and presence, but reality hit when the camera showed the audience and the room she was in:  it was not a formal gathering at the White House and the podium was a humble one.   Nevertheless, the content of her speech was important and encompassing.  She weaved into the topic of abortion social and economic aspects of life that are supported by public policies but not by God's laws.  When she was finished, I was inspired to record my thoughts here.

Leaders like Star Parker keep my hope up that the war against Satan on this planet is not yet lost even though I engage in it individually every day.  My efforts are like a grain of sand on the beach that is being devoured continually by tsunamis.
