Every Vampire and Werewolf in the world . . .

 

Every Vampire and Werewolf in the world was trying desperately to end this Baby's life before she ever saw the light of day.

 Which, first, says something about the mindset and inclination of anyone who would desire to harm any innocent Life. 

And, second, it says something about Hollywood movies and what audiences want to see on the Silver Screen.

In the 3rd installment of the Twilight Trilogy written by Stephanie Meyer, Breaking Dawn, Edward Cullen and Bella Swan have married and they learn that they are expecting a baby.  It seemed something that they shouldn't worry about - Edward is a Vampire and Bella is human.  She can't possibly get pregnant - but she did.

Unplanned Parenthood among the Hollywood Elite doesn't seem to be met OFF screen in the same way that it is most often portrayed ON screen.  Abortion must not sell tickets at the box office because most couples in the movies decide to HAVE the baby. Isn't that strange? 

The death of Renesmee in this movie would have been a great tragedy and the series would have ended in a dark pall instead of a great, victorious battle. 

Nessie was viewed as abomination by the Vampires and the Werewolves were angered because the harm or death of Bella would break the Vampire/Werewolf Treaty that protected the human race.

Edward truly loved Bella, but if she carried the baby to term she most certainly would die.

The Vampires were ready to start a war because of this birth.

Only ONE thing to do, right?

No, Bella was determined to HAVE the baby.

And it turned out to be the right choice.  It almost always is.

This is just a fictional, fanciful story. An unreal story that might have been ruined nonetheless if the fictional baby's life had been prematurely ended. What great lengths the author, the producers, the director, and the actors went to in order to produce a happy ending in a make believe tale.

REAL babies are worth that much effort, and more.

Hollywood is Pro Choice -- and most often, for the sake of receipts -- it chooses LIFE. 

Judgment Day: Having a Baby

 

 

Judgment Day is coming -- Not a great time to be having a baby.

Terminator.

Kyle Reece, the Father of the baby is dead.

Sarah Connor is in the very worst way - soon to be a single parent.

Other Terminators will come to destroy her - her unborn and born child, John. 

But he will be the Savior of the Human Race.  The one who saves men, women, and children from Judgment Day when Terminators and Robots of their kind rule the world.

The name Jesus means "Savior" or "Salvation." Herod was willing to kill every baby in Judea to change the future - to change history. His plan was foiled, but a great price was paid.

John Connor was posed as a fictional savior or a fictional sci-fi world. Another time when - against all odds and better judgment - Hollywood chose LIFE.

There has only and ever been one true Savior born into human history - but many John Connors have populated our story.  They have written our books, solved our equations, grown and promoted our knowledge, spawned our inventions, found our cures, and built our societies.

Imagine all of the John and Joan Connors whose lives have been ended before they ever had a chance to bless us with their music, their dance. their art, their insight, and their innovation. 

Judgment Day is coming.

Is it a bad time and difficult circumstances into which to bring an innocent child?

Hollywood does not think so. And half a dozen sequels prove that. 

The Alienist: Stopping the Angel of Darkness at all Costs

 

The Second Season of The Alienist has just concluded on TNT:  The Angel of Darkness.

Eight episodes, starring Daniel Bruhl, Dakota Fanning, and Luke Evans. Ted Levine is excellent as the crooked Chief of Police.

In the late 1800's what was to evolve into the modern Psychiatrist began as an Alienist.  In this crime drama on TNT the protagonist (played by Bruhl) presents as a Forensic Pathologist or Criminologist.

The series is dark and surrounds the most horrid and gloomy subject matter - yet I am drawn to it.

The second season is about saving innocent babies from an insane serial killer.

Celebrities often take a political stand contrary to the preservation of innocence - but the scripts that they embrace and the parts that they play almost always Champion on the side of morality and the sanctity of human life.

The Dark Angel is a sociopathic woman who is kidnapping and killing newborn babies -- and she must be stopped at all costs. The death of an infant is cast as the most atrocious of crimes and the killer is viewed with no sympathy or compassion - in spite of the circumstances that created her and shaped her psychosis.

If a single-celled amoeba was discovered by a land rover on the surface of Mars - every paper, journal, and media avenue would proclaim that "LIFE" had been found on the Red Planet. Steps would be taken to protect and preserve that LIFE - and further exploration and colonization of the planet would be guided in careful recognition of and deference to this LIFE.

But a multi-celled, complex organism with a heartbeat, respiration, and dynamic brain activity that exists in a woman's womb in the fetal stage is not considered "LIFE."  This is scientific nonsense.

Infanticide IS a horrific act -- worthy of ANY crime or horror story presentation. But LIFE is LIFE, and the Angel of Darkness who preys on the born AND the unborn is a plague upon our society, our culture, and our humanity.

The poisoning of 5 or 6 children is fodder for a fantastic fictional crime story --- but the death of millions of innocents is hardly noticed.

 

Juno: Choosing Life

 

Juno:  A great little movie that you may have never seen.

A modern coming of age story about a 16 year old girl who decides to have sex to get it out of the way - and becomes pregnant.

2007. Starring Ellen Page in the title role. Michael Cera, Justin Bateman, and Jennifer Garner.  This move launched Ellen's theatrical career.

The movie received unexpected accolades and critical acclaim.  It even garnered decent box office receipts and has become a minor cult classic.

But -- ever since its success, the producers, directors, and actors involved in the film have been denying vociferously that this is a Pro-Life Movie.

There is only one great problem ("Methinks thou dost protest too much!") with their protests ---- THIS IS A GREAT PRO-LIFE MOVIE!!    

Juno has sex with her reluctant (though willing) boyfriend - one time (it happens all of the time in the movies!) and gets pregnant.  She wants to get the Virginity thing out of the way and get on to other growing up experiences.

Her pregnancy is a personal disaster.  It has the potential of ruining the rest of her life.

She actually goes to an abortion clinic - but while she is there, she changes her mind and decides to let the baby live.  She will find suitable parents and give the child to them for adoption.

Her decision is not an informed one springing from information or understanding. It is not a social decision or a religious or spiritual decision.  It is really not about the baby or about choosing life at all. There is no clear portrayal of her reasoning in the movie.  She just chooses to have the baby.

Lucky for the baby --- and lucky for everybody who was involved with this movie.  If they had ended the pregnancy early in this story it would have never found any success or viewers at all.  Hollywood always chooses the money --- and abortion does not entertain --- or sell product.

Alien Baby

What if you discovered that you had an alien baby growing inside of you?

Get RID of it! Right?

But what if that Baby would be born Jason White --- and one day everyone would know him as SUPERBOY?

In the movie Superman Returns the title character (an alien from the planet Krypton) has been out in space and away from Earth for over 7 years. (Superman is played by Brandon Routh and Lois Lane is played by Kate Bosworth). He returns to his adopted planet to learn that Lois has borne their child. He is a Father. His son's name is Jason and he is being raised by Lois and his Step-Father.

This is a fanciful and fictional story -- but once again Hollywood stands on the side of keeping the baby -- in the most horrific of circumstances.

What if the baby that you are carrying -- from an unplanned or unexpected pregnancy -- is Superboy?

Or Superman?

Or Marie Curie?

Or Albert Einstein?

Or Martin Luther King, Jr.

Or Mahatma Gandhi?

or Jonas Salk?

This may seem like a nonsensical comparison or thought to you - but I believe that stories about life and birth are the best kinds of stories -- even if they're just stories.

Maui: Thank you

 I know that Moana is just a children's story from Disney.

I have never been harmed or threatened by fictional or fantasy stories or even the beliefs of other people, other cultures, or religions different from my own.

I read them, I listen to them, I learn about them and I learn from them. This adventure of listening and learning has never lessened my own beliefs or faith, nor has it corrupted me in any way.  These things tell me about what is important to people.  What matters to them, what they hope in, what they believe in.

Often (though it is rare in the world today) when I have listened to others, they have, in turn, listened to me. They have allowed me to tell them about what I believe, and why it matters to me.

When Maui was at the very bottom of despair - he told Moana something that he had never told anyone.

He was not born a DemiGod - he was born to human parents. The main tattoo in the middle of his back is a picture of a woman, his mother, throwing him into the sea.

The gods found him, accepted him, turned him into Maui, and gave him magical powers and a magical hook.

But he went back to the humans - and spent his life trying to make them accept him, to appreciate him (You're Welcome), and to Love him.  He says to Moana, "It was never enough."

The story of Maui - in the story of Moana - is a story of redemption, acceptance, and love.

We don't know everyone's story - what they have faced or what they are searching for. But everyone deserves a chance at LIFE - It is the only chance we have to find LOVE.

We sometimes throw people away.

We have reasons for doing so.  The reasons sound rational and reasonable.  It sounds as if we have no other choice. No other way.

We must make a different choice.

We must find a different way.
