Not guilty

I have been arguing with myself about whether of not to write this. I don't want to say this.
It is just so obvious to me.
The Casey Anthony verdict was handed down yesterday and her sentencing, for lying to officials, will be today.

I feel it every time some says "I can't believe she was found not guilty. She killed her own child.Who would do that?"


and



"It's not fair. Our justice system is so messed up, She should burn in hell."





I feel the slam in my heart and I cringe.


I want to hide under my bed until everyone is done talking about Casey Anthony and how she should have been convicted and put away forever in the darkest prison cell imaginable.


She is a mom who probably killed her own daughter and got away with it.


I am ,too.


If she did it, she deserves a prison sentence and Calee deserves justice.


I deserve prison sentence, too. And the two children I killed via legal abortion deserve justice. (Click here and here for more info on that.) The way I see it, I AM Casey Anthony, and so are the other women who have had abortions.



I know.




You think I'm CRAZEE. I get that.





Before you roll your eyes and click back to your email or Facebook, I just want to ask a few questions:





Why are we not angrier and more outspoken about the deaths caused by abortion?

Why are we not mourning the deaths and bemoaning the lack of justice for these children?

Is the only difference that one death is legal and the other is not?
Is it because Caylee was older? Because she was born?
I don't get it.
What is the difference? Why is one life more valuable than the other?

The justice system seems so skewed, so schizophrenic and wrong. People keep saying how messed up our system is while pointing at the Anthony verdict.

I agree. It is messed up because it doesn't recognize the value of our children, born or not.
Wearing size 3 OshKosh overalls and pigtails or still safe in her mother's tummy.

Where is the justice for them?


Where is the outrage for them?


Nancy Grace said of the not guilty verdict, "The devil is dancing."


Yes, but he is rejoicing everyday as abortion is allowed to continue virtually unhindered in these United States.
I am outraged and I am mourning.
Even though I am guilty based on the evidence and my own confession,and I deserve punishment, I am not paying the penalty.
It was paid for me.
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace." Eph.1:7

Talk about unfair...

I think the Holy Spirit is sounding a trumpet for us...this is the second post I've read today with the same message.

It really is pretty ridiculous how we (I say we because I must include myself) have gotten so upset over this whole verdict, and yet it's actually being done over and over and over again every day...to those who don't even get the chance to draw their first breath.

Heartbreaking.

I'm glad you posted this, too, Diane. Wish I could hug you right about now.

I'm glad you voiced this. Very well said and this is the first I've heard anyone making that connection. Kudos for you for making the stand.

The perspective of those who have actual experience in heartbreak,regret and sorrow is unique. Your viewpoint is one of real self examination as well as self evaluation. Well said.

Thanks for your special focus and your insight!

None of us can cast the first stone, however I will say that if I am being honest I sure do want to toss a few stone in Casey's direction....

Blessings
