Yes, this dread condition exists! How do I know? Why, I have seen such an individual who is afflicted with this malady. I don't know his name so I'll call him "Mr Belcher" for reasons soon to be apparent. Quite often the poor soul walks by us on Saturday mornings. He looks towards us, and then the unfortunate fellow lets out with a loud burp. This has happened several times now. How distressing it must be for him! Something tells me that he isn't the only victim of this disease.
So how does this sickness develop? Is it because the afflicted ones have to swallow so much intellectual and moral bile that their very digestive systems rebel from such an insult? Or maybe it's because they are truly trying to articulate their position, and all they can do is belch forth fetid gases. That would make sense since the intellectual justification for baby-murder is nothing more than noxious vapors anyway.
We realize that by our very presence in front of these mills, we are offering much needed rebuke to any passers-by who favor the murder of tiny children. The First Spiritual Work of Mercy is "Rebuke the Sinner". When confronted with the truth, one only has two possible reactions: acceptance or rejection. Mr. Belcher seems to be rejecting the truth, but burps are all that he can muster. While he is still on this side of the grave, we pray that he repents of his support for baby-murder and for any personal involvement in that sin that there might be.
In the meantime, he might want to buy some Rolaids or Tums.

Thank you for your faithfulness, Janet. I think of the stress of all those years sidewalk counseling on Saturday mornings. The Lord has allowed other stresses in my life for now, but I join all the faithful brothers and sisters outside the mills in spirit. May God bless and protect you.
