The End of Abortion Movement is always looking to ally itself with anyone who is working to end abortion by making abortion unthinkable as it should be. To do this we need to take over all forms of media that have been promoting the culture of death such as mass media, news, magazines, movies, literature, video games, art, poetry, and replace those messages with messages of healing and love which will spread the Prolife message. The Prolife message needs to permeate the culture to replace and remove the culture of death. I have had a wonderful opportunity to read an amazing prolife book that brings prolife art with a powerful poetic message tied to each painting written by a post abortive father named Father X. The artwork is all done by a Prolife American mother of five who lives in Britain. I got to know her through the amazing world of Twitter and she asked me to review her book which I am doing now.
The book is called : Meditations and Paintings of Post Abortion Trauma and it has over thirty paintings and meditations on them that bring one into the picture as well as surrounding one in a ocean of reflective thought on the horror of abortion as well as the hope for renewal through the grace of God. Never judgmental it is always hopeful both for the post abortive parents to turn away from the destruction and damage to the redemptive love of Jesus and love of family.
From the Picture called Family Life we see the family under attack from a huge serpent. The meditation by Father X shows us that the family is the key to turning the world back from the abyss and turning to Love. That is why it is under so much attack. Father X says, “More than ever we need Love, for from love stems stable families.” Amen to that.
Here are ten more of my favorite quotes from this amazing book for which there is none like it.
“Children bring a river of hope to replenish burnt out pasture’s furrowed brows; they bring new life and creativity and it is all based on color and song.”
“The time is now here to uphold and honor the role of women, not only in the home but alongside men, their fellow human beings.”
“Children are precious to us like emeralds, rubies, amber and diamonds are to the eye; children, not only do they carry on the family name but they honor us too by holding the nation’s hopes of the future in their hands like miners digging for gold.”
“The Propaganda machine creates an illusion that makes what is wrong appear as right and where lies are presented as truth and war is peace.”
“In the painting one jar is left empty of flowers. This is a reminder their child will never come back to them because of their decision to abort.”
“The clock in the background marks the point of death when time stood still for the parents and for the heavens above.”
“The hearts of parents who choose to abort will only harden over time and will open themselves up to the terrible twins of guilt and remorse.”
“Four weeks later she discovered she was pregnant and at first was delighted and willing to let nature take its course. What happened next was a tragedy for all three of us and something we both have to live with for the rest of our lives. It may not mean much to others or touch their lives but to me that moment was everything and started a lifetime of regret the day she aborted our child.”
“When a child of the human race is born and is an infant made in the image and likeness of their creator, a new family chapter is written in the book of life.”
“Being loved is the soul food that makes children grow up strong in body and mind. When mixed with mother’s milk, maternal love is the most nourishing food for young children.”
This book is helping to build the culture of life and is an amazing way to marry art with poetry and thought to help to understand the challenges life faces and the burdens of so called “Choice”. I do not agree with all the politics and religiosity of Father X, but it is still an amazing step in the right direction and may many, many more books be written to help show the dangers of abortion and also the beauty of Life.
Through these types of books, poetry, literature, artwork, movies, we will help make abortion UnThinkable!
