On November 3, 2022, National Public Radio (NPR) aired the sounds of the killing of a Child through abortion.<\/p>\n
The baby has been name\u00a0Baby Amanda Marie,<\/a>\u00a0for the name Amanda means \u201cshe who ought to be loved.\u201d<\/p>\n To those who were involved in this killing, and to any others aware of it, we wish to communicate the following:<\/p>\n First, to the mother of this Child:<\/strong><\/p>\n Dear Mother,<\/p>\n We are with you, and God is with you. We are not here to condemn or punish you, but to express our love and care for you. We wish we could have helped you avoid abortion; and even now, we want to help you heal from its wound, as we have helped so many others.<\/p>\n We do not know precisely what motivated you to have this abortion, nor how aware you were of what precisely an abortion\u00a0is,\u00a0<\/em>i.e., that it is the taking of the life of a real human being, the taking of the life of your very own Child, Dear Mother.\u00a0 We know that the abortion industry preys on vulnerable women\u2014women who are in difficult situations, experiencing confusion in their minds and fear in their hearts\u2014and this evil industry wickedly presents abortion as the \u201csolution\u201d to the problems of such women, whereas abortion will do nothing but\u00a0greatly increase\u00a0<\/em>the problems of such women.<\/p>\n Further, this industry\u00a0intentionally\u00a0<\/em>keeps women in ignorance concerning the reality of the development of their children and what an abortion\u00a0does\u00a0<\/em>to those children.\u00a0 We suspect that you were one of these women.\u00a0 Did those who killed your baby\u00a0tell you\u00a0<\/em>that your baby, at 11 weeks, already had a beating heart, brain waves, fingers, toes, etc., etc., etc., that your baby was, well, a\u00a0baby?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Did they tell you that?\u00a0 We doubt it.\u00a0 Did they tell you that the abortion suction machine would\u00a0rip\u00a0<\/em>your baby apart\u2014that this Precious Child would likely try to\u00a0avoid\u00a0<\/em>the killing machine (as other babies have been seen to do on ultrasounds\u2014but, to no avail: that, eventually, that death machine would pull apart your baby, that your child\u2019s beating heart would stop beating, that your child\u2019s limbs would be sucked apart, etc., and that, afterwards, these killers of your baby would need to \u201cassemble\u201d all the various parts of your Precious Baby\u2019s body to make sure they \u201cgot it all\u201d.\u00a0 Did they\u00a0tell\u00a0<\/em>you this, Dear Mother?\u00a0\u00a0 Had they done so, we highly doubt you would have gone through with this \u201cprocedure\u201d which, as you can tell, from this description here (which is only a\u00a0small\u00a0<\/em>part of the full and horrific description of abortion), is nothing less that the destruction of a real human being, your Precious Little One.<\/p>\n Dearest Mother, our hearts go out to you, our hearts\u00a0weep\u00a0<\/em>for you, and your Child.\u00a0 We know that you were already in a difficult place interiorly to even consider abortion and, now, having ended the life of your Child, you are most surely in an even darker, more difficult place (and, if you do not recognize that yet, dear Mother, in due time, if you are honest, you will realize that you are hurting,\u00a0deeply\u00a0<\/em>hurting).\u00a0 As many women who have had abortions have said, abortion does not merely hurt women, it\u00a0destroys\u00a0<\/em>them.<\/p>\n But, Dearest Mother, there is\u00a0hope:\u00a0<\/em>Jesus Christ is your hope.\u00a0 He is loving, He is merciful, He is your Savior.\u00a0 Simply repent of your sin against your Precious Little One (whom we have taken the liberty to honor with the name of \u201cAmanda Marie\u201d, for \u201cAmanda\u201d means \u201cshe who ought to be loved\u201d and \u201cMarie\u201d is a beautiful form of the name of the Mother of God, the Mother of Jesus Christ).\u00a0 Repent of your sin, Mother, and Christ will forgive you, as will your Little One, Baby Amanda.\u00a0 We pray that, one day, in the next life, that you will be reunited with your Precious Little One in an eternity of joy; we pray that you can begin to experience this reconciliation with your Child even in this life, through repentance and a life of reparation.\u00a0 Go to Jesus, receive the forgiveness that He offers through His Church (and the Sacraments of His Church), and then have hopeful confidence that, yes, one day, you WILL be with your Child again in an eternity of joy.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n To the abortionist and to the others who worked with him\/her in murdering Baby Amanda,<\/strong><\/p>\n Whereas we have good reason to believe that the mother of this Child (who, now, has a name, Baby Amanda) was largely ignorant of precisely what she was doing when she asked you for an abortion, we have little reason to believe that you were ignorant of the fact that abortion is murder.\u00a0 For, you know full well the development of the Child, you know full well that abortion rips apart that Child, and, thus, you know full well that abortion is, in a word, murder, and murder of the worst kind: murder of the most innocent, defenseless, and precious human beings\u2014little babies!\u2014and before these Precious Little Ones can ever enjoy even the light of day!\u00a0 Shame on you for murdering Baby Amanda!\u00a0 We exhort you to repent of this\u00a0brutal\u00a0<\/em>murder of a Precious Child in the womb, of Precious Baby Amanda, and that you go to Jesus Christ, begging for mercy. We exhort you to think about and picture Baby Amanda, and express your sorrow to her for taking her life!<\/p>\n We will pray for you, surely\u2014for, our exhortations here are done, first, out of love for Baby Amanda, and a desire to vindicate this Child, but, also, out of love for\u00a0you<\/em><\/strong>, that you be not lost, that you repent so as not to lose your own salvation, but instead, like many Saints of old, go from a life of sin to a life of holiness! Repent deeply in your heart for brutally murdering Precious Baby Amanda Marie (and for making a\u00a0show\u00a0<\/em>of her death on the air, the death of a fellow human being and a\u00a0baby\u00a0<\/em>at that!), as well as your part in the murders of any other children in the womb which you have committed, resolve now to no longer kill children, and then live a life of intense reparation.\u00a0 Go to Jesus Christ and His Church, the Catholic Church, for the graces of forgiveness that you so desperately need.\u00a0 We love you, and we pray for you, even if we are also, at the same time, extremely disgusted and angry at how you have treated Little Amanda (and so many others like her).<\/p>\n To the workers of NPR who aired the murder of Baby Amanda,<\/strong><\/p>\n You missed something.<\/p>\n You say you described an abortion, but all we heard were some words about the mother and the machine.<\/p>\n Why didn\u2019t you describe what was removed from this woman? What did the vacuum suction out of her?<\/p>\n At 11 weeks into pregnancy, the baby is 9 weeks old from fertilization. For comparison, the \u201cPrecious Feet\u201d pins that\u00a0 you often see pro-life people wearing represent a baby\u2019s feet just a few days after this age. At 9 weeks, the baby is the size of a small tomato and just about every component of every body system is already present. The baby\u2019s heart has already beat over 9 million times. At this age, the baby\u2019s face, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet respond to light touch. The mouth opens and closes; the tongue moves. The baby can swallow amniotic fluid. This baby sighs, stretches, and moves his\/her head. The baby has begun sucking her thumb, yawning, and grasping objects.<\/p>\n None of these facts are mentioned in the your report, including the fact that this entire body system is pulled apart by that vacuum and sucked down a plastic tube and into a collection jar.<\/p>\n Abortionist Harlan Raymond Giles was asked under oath, \u201cCan the heart of a fetus or embryo still be beating during a suction curettage abortion as the fetus or embryo comes down the cannula? Answer: For a few seconds to a minute, yes.\u201d (Sworn testimony given in US District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin (Madison, WI, May 27, 1999, Case No. 98-C-0305-S)).<\/p>\n That isn\u2019t mentioned in your story either.<\/p>\n And as for what the staff did at the end of the day, it wasn\u2019t just paper and stocks that they had to deal with. They had to dispose of the body parts \u2013 the parts of every body system that you and I also have.<\/p>\n We have similar words to you as we do to the abortionist and those who worked with him\/her to kill Little Amanda:\u00a0shame\u00a0<\/em>on you, NPR, for airing the brutal murder of a Baby in the womb,\u00a0shame\u00a0<\/em>on you for dishonoring\u00a0Baby Amanda Marie\u00a0<\/em>by flaunting her death over the air!\u00a0 May God have mercy on your soul!\u00a0 Your actions were\u00a0beyond\u00a0<\/em>disgraceful (and that you used taxpayers dollars for such an atrocity makes it even worse)!\u00a0 On the Last Day, when Jesus Christ comes again, you will see not only Jesus Christ Himself, but this Little Child, whose murder, whose death you made light of, and you will need to face this Child, and answer to this Child why you made show of her unjust killing, of her murder.\u00a0 We pray that before that day comes, you will embrace the gift of repentance and receive the merciful forgiveness of Christ, which he so wants to give you.<\/p>\n To the public who heard the abortion which killed Baby Amanda,<\/strong><\/p>\n By now, you see that, in listening to the abortion that was aired on NPR, you heard the killing, the deliberate killing, the murder, of a real baby, Baby Amanda.\u00a0 Sadly, Amanda is\u00a0hardly\u00a0<\/em>alone:\u00a0thousands\u00a0<\/em>of Children across the nation (and many more around the world) are murdered in the womb\u00a0daily\u00a0<\/em>as she was\u00a0\u00a0 This is\u00a0the\u00a0<\/em>issue.\u00a0 Our hearts should break over\u00a0any\u00a0<\/em>child abuse, even over one child.\u00a0 Our hearts should break even more over the\u00a0murder\u00a0<\/em>of even one child!\u00a0 And this is done\u00a0under cover of \u201claw\u201d (it is an\u00a0unjust<\/strong>\u00a0\u201claw\u201d so not real \u201claw\u201d anyway.\u00a0<\/em>In the abortion of Baby Amanda, we most grotesquely heard one of these murders: we heard the murder of a real, living Baby, who, sadly, is no longer with us because of what happened to her in that abortion: she was unjustly killed, she was murdered, by the abortionist who murdered her.\u00a0 Realize the horror of\u00a0every\u00a0<\/em>abortion, realize the horror of\u00a0this\u00a0<\/em>abortion, of the killing of Baby Amanda, honor her in your hearts, and then do all you can to\u00a0end\u00a0<\/em>this most horrible of atrocities, legalized abortion.<\/p>\n In Christ and Mary,<\/p>\n (Signers of this statement).<\/p>\n To sign this open letter, please click on the following link:\u00a0https:\/\/www.priestsforlife.org\/babyamanda\/openletter.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On November 3, 2022, National Public Radio (NPR) aired the sounds of the killing of a Child through abortion.
