Government Sanctioned Serial Killers
Blood is everywhere, the body can be seen just lying there, he stands there watching the finished product of what he's done...emotionless. Peeling his gloves from his slightly shaky hands, he discards them in the trash and leaves, not because he thinks he'll get caught, but because he has work to do. More people are waiting for him to kill those people they hate, more victims are waiting, oblivious to the fact that in a matter of hours, their lives will be taken from them.
He could almost call himself a serial killer, for his occupation was to take life, but then that wouldn't be quite accurate since he was hired by others and was given the OK by his government. Besides, it wasn't humans he was killing, he'd convinced himself of that. At the end of the day he'll pick up a large sum of money for his services, paid by none other than the government itself.
When we hear the terms serial killer and assassin, dark thoughts come to our minds. We picture a crazed person on a rampage or a stealthy business man who kills people for large sums of money. We picture people that the government would give anything to find and put behind bars, so they could never hurt anyone again. Yet there is one killer who goes by a different name, who is sanctioned by the government, who has the approval of many citizens. He goes under the alias of "Abortion Doctor" yet most people know that it's a fancy name for a person who kills babies.
Name me a few things that are different between an abortion doctor and a serial killer? He is under control by the government so he can't just kill anyone he pleases, but does that make him better? He is not insane? Well, I'll give you that one, anyone who could fool a nation into allowing him to steal life, and get paid for it, is no dummy.
Blood passes by his hands every day, life is taken by him every day, he even uses the same MO and same type, children, 1-9 months old. The only difference is that he doesn't have a warrant out for his arrest, in fact, his country and government applaud him for his "great work" as he snuffs out more and more lives.
What do you think of a government sanctioned serial killer?

@Loonsounds - Both are equal in there murder of people, save one kills innocents and one kills criminals.
I have been pondering wether I'm in favor of the death penalty and I lean toward being against it. Life is so important.
The word is "executioner" but as these killings are not done through our legal system, (no due process) I can call it that. So government licensed serial killer is the best description I can think of
Thanks for the add!
I'm scared to read this post. I'm afraid I'll hate humanity even more.
@Simbathe2nd - Murder by definition means illegal. It can be wrong and immoral and still be legal
@philosophicthoughts - If you don't want to you definitly don't have too. It's some strong and saddening stuff. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
People who own abortion clinics have even said that they believe life begins at conception. So they see nothing wrong with taking lives.
@trunthepaige - You're right.
@Loonsounds - Like I said I've been considering wether I truely believe in the death penalty or not. Regardless of that though abortion is at best the same, so do you have the same conviction about that?
I can't even imagine the flack you're going to get from somewhere for this one...
Serial killer does seem to fit the basic idea. You're playing with connotations, though. It's fine, I think it's a good comparison. "serial killer" carries much more stigma than "abortion doctor" does...

@TheMarriedFreshman - I'll only get flack if people recommend and give it attention. Seems like a slow day so far.
@Loonsounds - No I asked because I want to know, regardless of if I like it or not. May I ask what makes you believe the soul enters the body at that time?
@Loonsounds - Interesting, although I do disagree, I appreciate hearing another angle.
@Simbathe2nd - It is kinda slow, but hey, I took the hint!
Duly recc'ed.
@Loonsounds - I always welcome all sides of a debate/argument/conversation topic and try to remain as nice about it as possible.
@Loonsounds - But the people that get the death penalty without being guilty are few and far between. I mean seriously few.
Every child that is killed is innocent for sure.
We need to take care of the larger problem first.
@Loonsounds - I was being respectful as well. Did something in my comment sound rude? I didn't mean it to.
The primary reason abortion is wrong is because God said we are not
to murder. But not all people believe what God says, so let's look at
it from a different angle.
We are allowed to take life under the prescribed requirements of
law, such as self defense, war, execution, etc. Each of these areas
deals with Law. Self defense is justified because an antagonist is
breaking the law (burglary, robbery, assault, etc.), and we can use
force to protect ourselves and our property. War is the legal
declaration of hostilities towards another nation. Execution is the
legal taking of life against someone who has committed a crime, or
crimes, worthy of execution. In each case, the antagonists are dealt
with for the wrongs they have committed.
However, the baby in the womb has done no wrong, yet it is
executed. It is executed but has broken no law! What crime has been
committed? What law have they broken in their existence? None. Yet
they are killed.
I am reminded of Nazi Germany. The Jews were guilty of being Jews,
and were, according to the Nazis, worthy of death. Likewise, the
babies in the womb are guilty of being babies in the womb, and are,
according to the parents, worthy of death. What laws did they break?
What made them unworthy of life? The answer is simple: it depends on
the opinion of those in power, of those wielding the knife and
redefining what is life, and of those deciding who is worthy of life
and who should die.
It is only in abortion that someone is executed but has not
violated the law. This is fundamentally wrong, and this is why
abortion is wrong.
Since when do we kill someone who's broken no law?
Since when do we kill someone who's only "crime" was being brought into existence via the copulation of his or her parents?
A great post. I can't help but wonder why you are so politically correct, though. You must be afraid of offending people.
I think blaming doctors for performing a service that our society says is okay, is the wrong tactic. The issue lies in our laws, and our social perceptions, that say it is okay to steal these lives because they aren't wanted. That is the big difference between the doctor and the serial killer, not the fact that he is government sanctioned, but because society says his victims don't matter.
@Simbathe2nd - ryc to loonsounds...Romans 13 lays out that the govt holds the sword to administer God's justice
@Loonsounds - Simba isn't online at this time so please don't take anything out on him.
I don't want to bug you. You obviously don't want to talk about this at all.
When I said 'we' I didn't mean you and I. I meant we as in a nation.
I'm serious though. I did not intend to come across as if i was attacking you at all. I saw that you weren't being rude toward simba so I figured maybe I could talk with you and learn something from you because you weren't a typical in your face rude person. I respected that. Apparently you read me wrong somehow.
You have no reason to be that mad.
@radicalramblings - But if someone pays a hitman to take out their mother in law, that mother in law was unwanted by someone.
@one_eared_batman - Hiring a hitman is illegal, hiring a doctor is not. The problem is with the law, not the one providing the legal service. The majority of society believes murder is wrong - the majority of society believes abortion is okay. That is what we need to change. Calling doctors murderers and serial killers isn't doing anythign to help the debate.
@Loonsounds - @radicalramblings - A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling
themselves "pro-life" on the issue of abortion and 42% "pro-choice."
This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified
themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking this question in 1995.

@str8tguy69 - Good. Then we are making progress in the right direction. I still don't think comparing a doctor performing a legal service to a serial killer or a hitman is going to do much to further the cause, do you?
Oh, that's right, you likely won't even see this comment because you have me blocked
