WHO IS EXHALE?
A non-profit organization, Exhale, was recently reported by Fox News as having developed a line of post abortion e-cards, which supposedly compliment their telephone counseling services to post abortive women. In checking on their website I found that they say the following about themselves.
“Exhale was created by and for women who have had abortions . . . These five women came together because they, or someone they knew, had personally experienced the lack of non-judgmental services available for women and their significant others after an abortion
"They came to the meeting because they wanted to participate in creating a service that could meet women’s after-abortion needs, provide an alternative to politically motivated counseling agencies and create awareness that abortion, and having feelings afterward, is normal in the reproductive lives of women and girls. [my emphasis]
The above statement reveals the abject moral poverty of Exhale’s mission and purpose. Trying to “create and awareness that abortion . . .is normal to the reproductive lives of woman” is a monstrously false premise to start with. It is a lie. I would concur that “having feelings afterward” is normal after an abortion. However, these feelings stem from the conscience of the mother who knows deep down in her innermost being that she did something wrong. Murdering one’s baby does naturally cause regret for the action, shame, emptiness and a deep sense of loss. These feelings are not normal or natural instincts of motherhood, let alone any animal in the wild, who’s natural and normal desire is usually to protect and nourish her baby.
These Exhale women like their homosexual brothers and lesbian sisters, desire to superimpose an abnormal and unnatural response to a behavior that goes directly against nature and morality.

THE E-CARDS

According to a recent Fox News article one of their greeting cards “expresses sympathy, offering the gentle reminder that, ‘As you grieve, remember that you are loved.’ Another provides encouragement for someone who ‘did the right thing.' Yet another strikes a religious tone with the thought that 'God will never leave you or forsake you.'"
The later reference to God was disturbing to me. God is the giver of life. Life is His prerogative only. He does not condone the wanton murder of innocents. A woman or a physician are wholely inadequate in the role of God. It is blasphemous for Exhale or anyone to misuse His name or misrepresent God in this way. “God will never leave you, nor forsake you,” actually applies to repentant sinners, people who personally accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
Since Exhale seems to hold that abortion is not wrong. They would probably say that there is nothing to be repentant of. Therefore, this Scripture (Hebrews 13: 4-6, NASB) passage, in context is worth looking at: "Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU," so that we confidently say, THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?" This passage is not applicable here. God does not promise to be with the non-repentant unregenerate person who had an abortion. This is true no matter what the sinner, Exhale or the “all-wise” United States Supreme Court may think. This is especially true about the Supreme Court and its ruling on abortion which is neither wise nor supreme.

RUSH’S REACTION
In reading Rush’s transcript from his show in which he talks about this subject, he asks, “If you're going to send a sympathy card to anybody after an abortion, shouldn't it be the aborted fetus?”
He had a good time lambasting this, yet another, misguided liberal organization, and rightly so. I thought that abortions are supposed to free woman and that the pre-born baby really is only a mass of tissue a useless appendage and not a living being. Why the need for post abortive sympathy cards? Is something wrong? Is the entire presupposition on which abortion is built, wrong? Could the mass of cells, the fetus, really be SOMEBODY? Indeed, a somebody, who lived, and who is now dead? It seems to me that a post-abortive sympathy card is an acknowledgement of some real loss.
He offered a few possible greeting cards that Exhale might consider using as it further expands this line of e-cards:
· “Roses are red, violets are blue. See you later, I aborted you.”
· ”This could be a card from the would-be mother to the aborted fetus. . . “Roses are red, violets are blue. I'm still alive, too bad about you.”
· “Roses are red and of small girth, just be thankful yours wasn't a partial birth.”
· How about this card from the aborted fetus to the father, "I'm off to stem cell research; you're off the hook,” meaning, for financial support down the road.
· “Roses are red, violets are blue. Sorry, we ran out of Plan B and had to abort you.”
CONCLUSION
Rush is skilled at lampooning the ridiculous and absurd. The liberal left’s commitment to and celebration of abortionists and abortion, while simultaneously denying the reality and true feelings of the mother, who just lost her BABY, is crazy. Contending that abortion is normal and natural to a woman’s reproductive health is equally absurd.
You said it very well.
