Abortion: The Holocaust the World is Ignoring
Both my mother and father were Holocaust Survivors of WWII, losing nearly every member of their families. At the age of sixteen, my mother and her family were put on a Box Car and sent from Thessaloniki, Greece to Auschwich Concentration Camp in Poland and placed in Block 10.
This was a medical experimental facility consisting of three hundred girls and women ranging in ages from twelve to thirty. Most of them died after being experimented on, given shock treatment, sterilized and tortured!
My mother found herself on the operating table prepared to be sterilized. The Nazi doctor removed one of her ovaries painfully with very little anesthesia and was ready to remove the other one … BUT then came God!
As she recalls, the Allied Forces started bombing. The Nazi doctor commanded the elderly imprisoned Jewish doctor to, “Finish her up! Remove the other ovary,” while he and the guards ran for cover.
The kind Jewish doctor had compassion for my mother. He told her, “Young lady, I am going to make an incision to look like I removed your other ovary but I will not. Now I want you to do two things. First, hide your cycle each month; and secondly, remember me when you have children and name your first son after me.”
The beloved old doctor was later hanged, but not before he helped save the lives of many of these innocent teens and women.
I tell people that my mother, Garmaine Pitchon, survived the Holocaust of WWII, and God has me serving Him in the Holocaust of Abortion here in America today! God has a plan, purpose, calling and destiny for everyone, no matter how, when or where they were conceived that only that person can fulfill!
Jesus our Savior and Lord came to earth as a baby. There is nothing more sacred and precious to God our Creator than babies. “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart…” Jeremiah 1:5. Satan hates babies! That is why his agenda is abortion and death and is at war with Christian Believers because our agenda is Life! This is what has been happening since the fall and still goes on in our world, our nation and our local communities. Satan influences our culture promoting a Spirit of Death by blinding the eyes of the people, even many believers, who compromise and water down the Word of God.
Fifty million innocent babies have perished since 1973, when the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court Decision made it legal for women and men to abort their baby for any reason through the ninth month. That number is more than the number of Americans who lost their lives in all the wars fought from the Revolutionary War to the Iraqi War.
We are still sacrificing our babies to the god of Molech (for personal choice, to satisfy our own pleasures, selfishness and lack of responsibility) which is truly an abomination to the Lord! Jeremiah 32:35 … “They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molech, though I never commanded, nor did it enter my mind, that they should do such a detestable thing …”
We Christians and the church universal must take a stand for Life! We must step out and speak up by voting, visiting our political leaders and not vacillating from God’s Word! We are God’s voice, his ambassadors and liberators! We must be His voice for the unborn, for those who cannot speak up for themselves. (Proverbs 31:8-9) We must speak up for the over 1.4 million teens, women and men each year dealing with an unplanned, crisis pregnancy – reacting out of fear and manipulated by our culture of death that abortion is no big thing. That everybody does it, and you can go on with your life without any consequences. This is a lie from the pit of hell! (Behavior is linked to rewards and consequences.)
I had the privilege of working in a psychiatric hospital and in private practice as a christian psychotherapist before coming to New Life Solutions in 1999. I am convinced that that one of the main reasons there is so much depression (regrets over the past) and anxiety (fear of the future) in our society is because of abortion. So many men, women, teens and parents who choose abortion and who would have been grandparents, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers know deep inside themselves that they assisted in the murder of an innocent pre-born baby! The blood of these innocent babies is on their hands and ours!
We must protect the innocent by advocating for the mother in helping her choose life and by changing the laws to protect the Unborn – the true innocent victims.
The emotional, spiritual, physical and financial fallout from abortion is staggering. The fifty million abortions since 1973 and the 1.4 million abortions annually have been negatively impacting the greatness of America for decades. Abortion has undermined the rich fabric and stability of the family causing more divorces, more couples to live together, and more women, men and teens on medication for emotional and physical issues.
Abortion has also had a crushing blow on our economy with all the mental health issues causing loss of productivity and millions fewer people alive today to contribute to Social Security that is going bankrupt.
Abortion has created a culture of death and hopelessness. However, those who do abort their child don’t need our condemnation; they need our love. They need Christ’s forgiveness and support of the church. They need to contact their local pregnancy center to participate in a post abortion grief support group to bring healing and wholeness.
Praise God; Jesus came to set the captives free from the evils of this world. He paid the price for our sins by his death on the cross and resurrection from the dead. Whosoever trusts in Jesus and calls on his name shall be saved for all eternity passing from death and darkness into life. Our sins are forgiven, and we become a new creation!
Abortion is wrong! It is not only killing innocent babies, it is also killing our nation and this world spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially. Abortion is today’s Holocaust, the War on the Unborn that needs to be ENDED! Let us pray for God’s intervention while we, the people of faith, continue to be the voice for the unborn.
