Alaska is a beautiful state and a wonderful place to raise children. Our kids are so blessed with ATV rides, fishing, hiking and skiing. Tragically, thousands of children will never know any of these experiences.

For decades, Planned Parenthood has killed babies across Alaska. More than 20 years ago this business opened its doors in Fairbanks. Since then, they have violently massacred an estimated 100 to 300 preborn infants every year, just in this area. As a matter of fact, their new holocaust hours include Tuesdays till 7 p.m., in case a mother wants to come in after work to pay someone to force open her cervix (which God intended to use as a way to protect her child), and insert a suction device to vacuum out her healthy living son or daughter as the child tries to escape from this early demise.

According to statewide data, Alaska has killed about 1,600 pre-born babies every year for decades. Once killed, all future generations that might have come from these wonderfully and fearfully created persons are rendered impossible, forever.

The act of killing an infant by premeditated murder is called infanticide. Since Roe v Wade, we’ve heard it called “abortion” or “termination of pregnancy.” Those terms are nothing more than language manipulation. 

Here is a quote from “Exploring Your Mind” about using words to manipulate others.

“Every expert in psychological manipulation in communication is a great strategist who is twisting the truth. He will always turn it to his own favor, lessen his share of the responsibility, and pass all the blame onto us. Moreover, they will exaggerate and withhold key information and thus ensure that the balance always tilts towards their version of the ‘truth.’”

The words “abortion” and “terminating pregnancy” simply mean that a child has exited the womb. These terms have been used for years as a way of manipulating us by watering down the truth, so it doesn’t seem as bad as it actually is. A “termination of a pregnancy” can be a c-section or induced labor, and a live birth or miscarriage are both technically abortions (an exiting of the baby from the womb).

Words are extremely important and it’s time we are truthful about what premeditated murder of a child is. We must use the correct word – infanticide. 

Those in favor of infanticide argue that the baby is not an actual baby before birth. That has been completely debunked scientifically. The only people who still say that unborn babies aren’t actual babies are those who want to make believe for their own personal reasons.

Any government representative who doesn’t work to stop infanticide is just as guilty as the criminals who are hired to commit the actual murder because it’s their job to protect the public from these crimes.

The State of Alaska, however, allows infanticide for all nine months of pregnancy through several different methods.

One technique, which is increasingly more prominent, is to chemically poison and thereby starve a preborn infant. Another approach, also supported by our Alaska government, allows for infanticide by dilation and evacuation, a technical way of saying that they give the mother a sedative, force open her cervix, and rip her child apart piece-by-piece in the second or third trimester as her child struggles for life. This is an extremely violent and excruciatingly painful way to kill any living thing. We’d never do this to puppies or kittens, but we allow it to happen to our children.

Then there’s suction aspiration, which is self-explanatory, and for larger babies – those ready to be born – there’s intact dilation and extraction. This ladder form of infanticide is extremely brutal. Sometimes these babies are purposely born alive, and their bodies sold to universities for research purposes. Yes, our Alaskan babies are treated like this because our government has done nothing to really and truly stop infanticide.

As Christians, we must hold government representatives accountable. Who, but us will try to rescue these kids from murder?

We can start by urging our legislators in Juneau to sign onto the Alaska Life at Conception Act, a comprehensive bill that guarantees equal protection from the moment of conception without exception to the child’s age, level of development, sex, nature of conception, or any other distinguishing characteristic. For years, this bill has been repeatedly introduced in the State Legislature, but has yet to be passed.

Any government representative who doesn’t work to stop infanticide is just as guilty as the criminals who are hired to commit the actual murder because it’s their job to protect the public from these crimes.

The biggest hurdle is fear. Legislators and our governor are afraid of people’s reactions, court rulings, and the hard work involved. We can no longer be governed by fear. We must say no to fear, no to excuses and no to watered down and manipulated language.

There are several organizations in this state ready to save our children, some of which are listed below. If you’re ready to help save Alaska’s children from infanticide, please contact your local prolife group and help us stand up for those who cannot protect themselves.
