On Infanticide – USA Gov Policy

On February 7, this publication presented a legal analysis (by guest contributor retired judge John H. Wilson, who served on the New York State bench) of a new state law that allows abortion up to the moment of birth, essentially a legalization of infanticide. In response to the extraordinary debate this measure has produced, we now provide an analysis from another guest contributor, retired U.S. Army chaplain Don Zapsic, Jr.

New York State, which now has, in addition to a Democrat governor, a solid Democrat majority in both houses of its legislature, passed Senate Bill S2796, more commonly recognized as the cleverly labeled, Reproductive Health Act or RHA, which shockingly allows abortion right up until the actual moment before birth.

Several interests gained from the measure:

Planned Parenthood for expanding their profit margins.
Closet racists who decimate minority populations through the sanctioning of abortion on demand. In 2012, African-American abortions in New York City alone totaled 31,328 versus 24,758 live births (CNSnews.com/Feb., 2014).
Irresponsible males who will now have more time to pressure the women in their lives to abort away financial liabilities associated with unintended consequences of sexual exploitation.

By the way, hats off to whoever ultimately decided to tint the Freedom Tower pink. Great idea to highlight such a structure raised out of the ashes of Ground Zero to commemorate the deaths of thousands of innocents. Such an ironic turning of the tables!

To those who have designs on facilitating the untimely demise of the mentally challenged and elderly who consume disproportionate amounts of medical care and social services: You are one step closer to your goal. Yes, you have a dream!

I served as a U.S. Army chaplain: to all members of the clergy who allow politics to hijack their ministry: May sleeping consciences lie along with congregations that follow you more than God.

To any who may doubt the sincerity of my stated convictions, by all means, please do so. The passing of the ‘so-called’ Reproductive Health Act is neither about the physical and psychological well-being of the mother or the physical viability of the child. He or she always ends up dead in very barbaric fashion. RHA is simply a quantum leap to the next level of systematic infanticide. It is a legislative nightmare that almost defies description.

I respectfully submit the following:

The term “Planned Parenthood” is an oxymoron. Orchestrating the death of an unborn family member has precious little to do with planning and more to do with population control. Racism as well as its cousin sexism are clearly forms of discrimination. Abortion on demand is not deeply concerned about why a child is terminated even if it is based on something as disturbing as wanting a boy instead of a little girl. Nor are the purveyors of abortion particularly troubled by any disproportionate impact upon those belonging to a lower socio-economic class. It is no coincidence that Planned Parenthood is so well represented in poorer neighborhoods.

A reckless and irresponsible male seeking to mate should not be producing any child that he is unable and/or unwilling to father into adulthood. Then there is the reference to the Freedom Tower which was intended to be a structural symbol of the triumph of the human spirit out of the ash heap. Not the triumph of the ash heap over the human spirit.

On playing God, no one has the right to delegate life-and-death authority over any innocent human being. Children are a gift and a loan from the Almighty. Only He, and He alone, determines when their time on earth is done. The RHA though legal, has no moral standing before the One who ultimately judges every living soul. To presume otherwise is not only arrogant, but also ignorant.

The remark about the mentally challenged and elderly in poor health is grounded in the sanctity of human life. The institutional devaluation and consequent degradation of any human being is a threat to all human beings. Death industry advocates realize that another hurdle has been cleared with the passing of the Reproductive Health Act. A bill designed to literally cut back the roster of those who impose the greatest financial burdens upon existing social programs.

My reference to the clergy is a tongue-in-cheek reference towards religious practitioners who use God as a punchline in the pulpit. Spiritually bankrupt themselves; they have way too much influence largely based upon their elevated status, higher education, and an uncanny ability to manufacture displays of piety when suiting their purposes. They are truly “wolves in sheep’s clothing” who advocate for abortion whenever expedient to do so.

Last but not least is the message to expectant mothers struggling with unwanted pregnancies. These vulnerable women and their unborn children require and deserve our love and support; not condemnation and judgment. Equally important, they need to understand that those who wish to sweep away the unborn from their bodies are not champions of women’s rights, but the worst sort of child abusers. They may have the legal right as conveyed by rogue actions of state government; however, there is no moral justification for their lethal activities.

Four days after the twin towers fell, I worked twelve-hour shifts at Ground Zero with the NY Army National Guard and was blessed to do so. The outpouring of love and devotion on the part of rescue and recovery teams along with a host of support personnel was a sight to behold. They made incredible sacrifices just to provide closure to families who desperately needed confirmation that their loved ones had indeed passed. It was a defining moment just like the passing of the Reproductive Health Act is now a defining moment for New Yorkers. Don’t let the bill define you. Embrace your unborn; cherish your children; raise healthy families. God bless America. America bless God.

Quick Analysis

Part 3: AMERICA’S STRATEGIC POSTURE

We conclude our summary of the urgent recommendation of the Congressional Committee on the nation’s Strategic Posture NON-NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES The Commission recommends: The United States urgently deploy a more resilient space architecture and adopt a strategy that includes both offensive and defensive elements to ensure U.S. access to and operations in space. The United States and its Allies take steps to ensure they are at the cutting edge of emerging technologies – such as big data analytics, quantum computing, and artificial intelligence (AI) – to avoid strategic surprise and potentially enhance the U.S. strategic posture. The United States prioritize funding and accelerate long-range non-nuclear precision strike programs to meet the operational need and in greater quantities than currently planned. x America’s Strategic Posture The United States develop and field homeland IAMD that can deter and defeat coercive attacks by Russia and China, and determine the capabilities needed to stay ahead of the North Korean threat.4 The Secretary of Defense direct research, development, test and evaluation into advanced IAMD capabilities leveraging all domains, including land, sea, air, and space. These activities should focus on sensor architectures, integrated command and control, interceptors, cruise and hypersonic missile defenses, and area or point defenses. The DOD should urgently pursue deployment of any capabilities that prove feasible. The Secretary of Defense and the Military Departments transfer operations and sustainment responsibility for missile defense to the appropriate Military Departments by 1 October 2024. This will allow the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to focus on research, development, prototyping and testing. ALLIES AND PARTNERS The Commission believes it is in the U.S. national interest to maintain, strengthen, and when appropriate, expand its network of alliances and partnerships. These relationships strengthen American security by deterring aggression regionally, before it can reach the U.S. homeland, while also enabling U.S. economic prosperity through access to international markets. Withdrawing from U.S. alliances and partnerships would directly benefit adversaries, invite aggression that the United States might later have to reverse, and ultimately decrease American, allied, and partner security and economic prosperity. Further, the Commission believes that our defense and the defense of the current international order is strengthened when Allies can directly contribute to the broader strategic posture, and the United States should seek to incorporate those contributions as much as possible. The Executive branch should recognize that any major change to U.S. strategic posture, policies, or capabilities will have great effect on Allies’ perceptions and their deterrence and assurance requirements. As a result, any changes should be predicated on meaningful consultations. RISK REDUCTION The Commission believes it is of paramount importance for the United States to work to reduce strategic risks. This involves activities and programs across the U.S. government, including in nonproliferation and arms control, as well as maintaining strong, viable, and resilient military forces. The Commission recommends that a strategy to address the two-nuclear-peer threat environment be a prerequisite for developing U.S. nuclear arms control limits for the 2027-2035 timeframe. The Commission recommends that once a strategy and its related force requirements are established, the U.S. government determine whether and how nuclear arms control limits continue to enhance U.S. security. The Commission recommends that the United States continue to explore nuclear arms control opportunities and conduct research into potential verification technologies in order to support or enable future negotiations in the U.S. national interest that seek to limit all nuclear weapon types, should the geopolitical environment change. Where formal nuclear arms control agreements are not possible, the Commission recommends pursuing nuclear risk reduction measures to increase predictability and reduce uncertainty and the chances for misperception and miscalculation. The 2009 Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States reported that the United States was at “a moment of opportunity, . . .but also a moment of urgency” – because the security environment had improved and the threat of nuclear proliferation was the principal concern. Since 2009, the security environment has dramatically worsened and new existential threats have emerged. This Commission concludes that the United States now faces a highstakes challenge that requires urgent action. Nevertheless, the Commission has not seen the U.S. government demonstrate the urgency and creativity required to meet the challenge. Nothing other than synchronized steps taken by the Executive and Legislative Branches will craft the strategy and build the posture the nation requires. The challenges are unmistakable; the problems are urgent; the steps are needed now.
