BUDAPEST, Hungary,
March 12, Christian
Newswire/
-- Former U.S. Senator Zell Miller stated the
obvious and compelling reality that those many
needed people in
America,
are actually missing because of the continued
practice of abortion. In an article dated March
9th, 2007, from the Atlanta-Journal
Constitution,
Says Zell: Military
shortages, Social Security crisis, and illegal
immigration all linked to abortion,
Mr. Miller was speaking at a pro life
fundraiser, in which he addressed the issue of
the crisis that is created by abortion.
"How could this
great land of plenty produce too few people in
the last 30 years? Here is the brutal truth that
no one dares to mention: We're too few because
too many of our babies have been killed," Miller
said.
"Over 45 million since Roe v. Wade
in 1973. If those 45 million children had lived,
today they would be defending our country, they
would be filling our jobs, they would be paying
into Social Security," the former
Georgia
governor said. "Still, we watch as 3,700 babies
are killed every single day in
America.
It is unbelievable that a nation under God would
allow this."
BFA, Biblical
Family Advocates, applauds the statements of
former Senator Miller who is attempting to
address one of the most compelling reasons that
America
is suffering the fate of those who do not
consider the value of human beings in general.
"Some will say that those missing people would
have put a drain on resources or there would be
too many children. If this is the way that we
view human beings in general, why do we even
tolerate our own existence? I think the answer
shows that we are self serving rather than
seeing our neighbors in the womb as a potential
good." says Phil Magnan, Director for Biblical
Family Advocates. "We hear from proponents of
immigration that we need more people in our
workforce. Doesn't this betray the position of
those who say we do not need those millions of
American children who were aborted?"
The Former Senator
had this to say regarding embryonic stem
research, "It is not a proper fate for a human
being made in God's image...killing is wrong
when it is called abortion and it is just as
wrong when it is called research."
BFA considers it refreshing to see a person who
has been in political office to have such moral
clarity. Magnan continued, "If only most
politicians were as courageous as Mr. Miller,
America
would be a safer place for our tiniest fellow
humans. Most Americans see the amazing value of
the trained soldier and the hard working factory
worker. Most Americans recognize the desperate
need to fund social security more adequately
because the baby boomers will soon balloon the
demand on the SS Fund. It is amazing that we
allow ourselves to be destroyed every day by
abortion at the same level as having a 9/11 each
day. If we do not turn from this destructive
path, we will only face self extermination as a
nation and judgment from God."
BFA is hoping that
Americans will once again consider the fact that
we cannot be sustained as a country by killing
our own future legacy; our children.
