“Many Americans fail to recognize the largest abortion provider in America is also the largest recipient of federal taxpayer dollars through Title X.”
US Congressman Mike Pence
Often when I will speak or write on the scourge of abortion comparing our holocaust to the work of Mao, Stalin, or Hitler, someone will inevitably respond that, “the representatives of America government, unlike those other countries, doesn’t directly involve themselves in the killing.” The idea is that we are somehow more righteous than Stalin’s Russia, or Mao’s China, or Pol Pot’s Cambodia because these United States merely allows murder to happen unabated without bloodying their hands in the role as executioner.
It is true that we are much more subtle than murderous regimes that have gone before. We are better at the propaganda, marketing, and indirect sales end of things. The State here doesn’t directly enter into genocide, it merely creates the climate where genocide can be profitably pursued. It gives millions and millions of tax dollars to Planned Parenthood through the title X program. It then pushes sex — lock, stock, and barrel (condemn, pill, and diaphragm) — in the government school curriculum which results in generations of animals posing as human beings which spikes the pregnancy rate which spikes the abortion rate. Our publicly funded Universities then force those who are training to become Doctors to learn to preform abortions.
The way I see it the only difference between Americans in our genocide and the genocides of Russians, Germans, Chinese, and Cambodians who preceded us in genocide is that we are much more smooth and crafty in the way that we practice holocaust.
and, like America, didn’t Stalin in Russia, or Mao, or Pol Pot have great populace support? We assume that these characters had none when in fact they had quite a bit of support from their own people.
They also happen to be the largest profiting organization that has been allowed to retain its “non-profit” status.
There has been great concern that the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is going to force medical personnel into performing abortions or facing legal consequences. Yeah, maybe no government official is holding the scalpel but really, what does it matter? I doubt Hitler was really involved in the day-to-day operations of turning on the gas chambers.
And now our dollars are helping to spread death elsewhere

Nickey,
I should have included that fact about FOCA but it completely slipped my mind. So intense has been some of the opposition to FOCA that the Roman Catholics are threatening they will simply shut their hospitals down in this country if FOCA is forced on them.
It will be interesting to see what shakes out when that battle heats up.
For 50 years, our pulpits have told us to obey the authorities unless they tell us to sin. Does not even THIS: telling us to give them money, knowing they will use it to kill the innocent…does not even this qualify?
How many degrees of separation between an action and our knowledge of it are enough to absolve us?
Those are hard questions that people need to think about answering Dr. Jay.
Thanks for posing them,
Bret
Dr. Jay asks an excellent question. Is giving money to an authority that will use it for a biblically unlawful purpose a sin? Allow me to put in my two cents worth in this discussion. As slaves, the children of Israel were required to pay tribute when they were put into captivity by the Lord for their gross covenant breaking (Deu. 28:15-45). Here we are, servants today! And the land that You gave to our fathers, To eat its fruit and its bounty, Here we are, servants in it! And it yields much increase to the kings You have set over us, Because of our sins; Also they have dominion over our bodies and our cattle At their pleasure; And we are in great distress. (Neh. 9:36-37).
Perhaps, the question ought to be whether or not American Christendom has been placed into captivity by the hand of the Lord for generational covenant breaking. I believe the answer is yes. The solution is given in this same passage. And because of all this, We make a sure covenant, and write it; our leaders, our Levites, and our priests seal it. . . . Now the rest of the people—the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all those who had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the Law of God . . . (Neh. 9:38, 10:28). Of course, we no longer live under the Mosaic covenant, but the principle and equity of the Lord judging His people for covenantal unfaithfulness is passed on into the New Covenant (Heb. 10: 26-31, see also the letters to seven churches in the Book of Revelation). Whenever the Lord’s people find themselves the tail under the dominion of the alien (foreigners to the covenant of God) it is because they have broken covenant with the Lord.
The answer remains the same for the Lord’s people under the New Covenant . . . to repent and reform our ways according the commandments of Christ into returning to covenantal faithfulness. If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. It seems to me the answer to the dreadful dilemma facing the Lord’s people is not so much one of addressing one issue or another, as important as they are, but rather for the body of Christ to come together in humility and repentance in separating itself from the bed it has made with the unregenerate, so as to reform all her ways according to the commandments of God, which addresses all the issues. This, of course, will bring persecution, but I think it better than ever increasing judgment for covenantal unfaithfulness (Lev. 26:9-35).
”Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell in them And walk among them. I will be their God, And they shall be My people.” Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.” (2 Cor. 6:14-18)
Thanks Thomas for those insights.
The kind of repentance that you talk about almost seems impossible until we remember that nothing is to hard for the Lord.
