My Parent’s Choice

Depraved Wretch – My Parent’s Choice: "I am just a young woman from California telling my parents' story. My birthday is on March 3, 1987 but that day would never have arrived had my parents listened to the 'advice' given by some specialists. The Lord has guided my parents through a difficult and unpredictable journey. Their faith held them together while professionals were delivering bad news concerning their unborn child. God truly worked in their lives and displayed His abundant mercy towards them during their ordeal."

Next Two Years Critical For Pro-life Movement

Next Two Years Critical For Pro-life Movement - American Life League: The Nation's Largest Grassroots Catholic Pro-Life Organization: Social Security and Medicare aren’t in crisis because a lot of old people showed up all of a sudden. We knew how many of them there were 60 years ago. These programs are in crisis because the Baby Bust cut our birth rate in half, and in the process eliminated over 100 million future workers, producers, and taxpayers. That changed the whole equation on which these programs are based. The economic cost of abortion is just the tip of the iceberg. The broader moral and social upheaval of the last 50 year has also wreaked havoc on the fundamentals of our economy.

Bill Banning Tax-Funded Abortions Attacked Over Rape Issues

Bill Banning Tax-Funded Abortions Attacked Over Rape Issues | LifeNews.com: Leading pro-abortion activists are using the issue of rape as a method of attacking a new bill in Congress that would ban taxpayer funding of abortions across all governmental programs and agencies. The measure, which is a number one priority for pro-life groups, would roll into one permanent law all of the many provisions and riders attached to the various bills funding the federal government that are passed each year. Instead of having to fight numerous battles – which don’t always result in pro-life victories – every year with new members of Congress, the bill would ensure federal taxpayer funds don’t pay for abortions in programs ranging from health insurance for federal employees to abortions in the District of Columbia to health programs at Indian reservations.

High Court allows surrogate mother to keep baby

BioNews - High Court allows surrogate mother to keep baby: A UK surrogate who changed her mind about handing over a baby to a couple has been allowed to keep the child, the High Court has ruled. The baby girl born last July, known as T, was said to be 'thriving in her mother's care'. In ordering that the child continue to reside with the mother, Mr Justice Baker said that the paramount consideration for the court was the welfare of the child. Despite the clear evidence of affection towards the child by all parties, the judge had doubts the couple, known as Mr and Mrs W, would meet 'all of her emotional needs'. He said the couple demonstrated an 'alarming lack of insight' over the relationship between the mother and child, and that removing T from her mother would cause the child 'emotional harm'.

Puzzling Times

Puzzling Times - By Michael New - The Corner - National Review Online: The Sunday edition of the New York Times featured a shrill house editorial complaining about ongoing efforts to enact state level pro-life laws. Pro-life proposals to regulate abortion clinics and protect unborn children were deemed “ominous” “big brother measures” and “outrageous government intrusions.” Both the timing and tone of this editorial are puzzling. Just last week Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell was charged with eight counts of murder for using scissors to kill babies delivered alive in his abortion mill. His clinic was described by regulators as a “filthy, foul smelling house of horrors.” In light of this, the New York Times must be the only newspaper in the country which believes that abortion clinics are somehow over-regulated.

Baptist Press - Q&A: pro-life Rep. Chris Smith says pro-choice position has become 'acceptable bigotry' - News with a Christian Perspective: It's time for America to re-enfranchise the unborn child. The abortionists have gotten away for decades with what is prejudice, acceptable bigotry ... bigotry against the unborn child -- taking an unmistakable member of the human race, boy or girl, but because of their dependency and immaturity, calling them persona non grata and violently destroying them. We need to utilize the language of bigotry and prejudice that is inherent in this animosity toward the unborn child.

The Impact of Black Abortionists

The Impact of Black Abortionists «: In 1st Timothy the Apostle Paul is writing to his spiritual son Timothy who is pastoring the Church in Ephesus. Paul tells Timothy that there will come a day when men will speak lies disguised as truth because their consciences have been seared as if branded by a red-hot iron (1st Timothy 4:2). As I review the case of Black Abortionist Kermit Gosnell, where the record reports: “Over the years, many people came to know that something was going on here. But no one put a stop to it,” and mourn the women and children slaughtered in his filthy Philadelphia abortion clinic, I am not seeing or hearing moral outrage over the death of our women and children from the barbaric practices of abortion procedures in our neighborhoods or over the genocidal rate of abortion in Black America. Perhaps the words of Paul are prophetic. Could it be, that a red-hot iron has been applied to the consciences of some of us today?

Post-abortive mothers share stories of grief, redemption on Supreme Court steps

Post-abortive mothers share stories of grief, redemption on Supreme Court steps | LifeSiteNews.com: In a bittersweet ending to a joyful March for Life this year, dozens of post-abortive mothers took to the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court Monday afternoon to tell their stories of fear, anguish, and redemption, giving a rare glimpse into the terrible human cost of Roe v. Wade.

Of the 45 who spoke, 40 were newcomers, according to Georgette Forney of Silent No More Awareness, including a group of twelve that had traveled from Arizona to brave the blustery January weather. Over 100 post-abortion sufferers walked together in the March for Life.

Some described in detail the “horrendous” pain of the abortion procedure itself, which was to leave many with health problems and permanent loss of fertility. But even worse was the emotional devastation that followed: feelings of desolation, loneliness, and despair overwhelmed some mothers only moments after losing their child to abortion.

Many women said they suffered for years - 20, 25, 30, or more - with a painful burden of guilt, buried deep inside them. They described the years of drug addiction, dysfunctional relationships, sexual promiscuity, and depression that resulted. Several said that the rejection of their baby also led to the ruin of other relationships - with lovers, parents, and living children.

Democrat Rep. Lipinksi: there was ‘never any question’ of supporting pro-abort health bill

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski of Illinois, one of only three House Democrats to turn against the health care bill based on its abortion funding, said that it was “extremely difficult” to contradict the party bosses, and that many of his own party now want him gone because of the strength of his pro-life conviction. “It was very difficult for me, what I went through with the health care bill. But there was never any question for me what I was going to do. I was not going to support a bill that provided taxpayer funding of abortion.”

In March of last year, Lipinski joined Marion Berry of Arkansas and Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts as the only Democrats to change their vote from “yes” to “no” over the lack of Hyde-like restrictions barring taxpayer funding of abortion. Berry and Lipinski also supported a motion to recommit the bill back to the Senate with the Stupak ban included.

Some pro-life Democrats, who had resisted supporting the bill until the eleventh hour, claimed that President Obama’s Executive Order placing Hyde-amendment restrictions on the bill provided adequate protection. However, like Lipinski, top pro-life groups disagreed and continued to vehemently oppose the bill. LifeSiteNews

More than one third of U.S. women will have had an abortion by age 45

Some 35 per cent of women will have had an abortion by the time they are aged 45, a new report has claimed. The pro-abortion rights Alan Guttmacher Institute also reported that 93 per cent of all abortions occur for 'social reasons.' Those include instances such as the mother deciding the child is unwanted or 'inconvenient.' And, surprisingly, the institute claimed that 31 per cent of all abortions performed nationwide are on Catholic women. It also said 18 per cent are performed on born-again Christians or evangelicals. Both religious groups preach against terminating pregnancies.

Black Pro-Life Leaders: Santorum ‘Absolutely Right’

Black Pro-Life Leaders: Santorum ‘Absolutely Right’ to Wonder How Obama Could Support Abortion | CNSnews.com: Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.), touched off a media storm when he said that he agreed with the argument Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., made in his 1963 “Letter from Birmingham Jail” that a just law is a manmade law that comports with the natural law or the law of God, and that he finds it “almost remarkable” that a black man like President Barack Obama would want to deny legal recognition for the human rights of an unborn child.

“I have to agree with him and say that I find it remarkable, also,” said Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union in Washington, D.C. “In light of the fact that coming out of slavery, we were not considered full human beings. We were treated as no better than pack mules, working in fields, without any rights at all.”

Prolife Ministry Is a Door to Share the Gospel

Prolife Ministry Is a Door to Share the Gospel - Blog - Eternal Perspective Ministries: A seminary student at my church once said something I’ve often heard in one form or another: “Issues like abortion are just a distraction from the main thing.”

“What’s the main thing?” I asked.

“The Great Commission,” he said. “Winning people to Christ. That’s what we’re supposed to do. Everything else is a distraction.” He was referring to Christ’s words in Matthew 28:19–20.

Was he right? Is pro-life action a distraction from the Great Commission...or part of it? We need to consider three perspectives to understand the relationship between pro-life efforts and the Great Commission.

Religiously demanding abortion funding

Just in time for the 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Washington-based Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC) pledged to bring its "moral force to bear" to ensure "full coverage of abortion services" through Obamacare.

Mostly Mainline Protestant groups founded RCRC (originally less euphemistically called the Religious Coalition for Abortion Rights) in 1973 in the immediate wake of Roe v. Wade to ensure widespread religious backing for the U.S. Supreme Court's overthrow of state restrictions on abortion. RCRC in its early years got funding form the Playboy Foundation and later from philanthropies like the Ford Foundation. 

In recent years RCRC has been headed by a black Baptist pastor and has emphasized outreach to historic black denominations. But revealingly, no historic black denominations belong to RCRC, whose membership primarily includes nearly all white denominations like the United Methodist Church, the Episcopal Church, the United Church of Christ, and the Presbyterian Church (USA).

New Political Tone Should Demand Honesty on Abortion

New Political Tone Should Demand Honesty on Abortion, Health Care | LifeNews.com: As pundits encourage us to engage in a national examination of conscience on the tone of our civil discourse, hundreds of thousands of students, young adults and pro-life veterans demonstrated civility in action over the past few days.

At Marches for Life at the Capitol, on the West Coast, and at statehouses across the nation, the violence of abortion was met with a message of care and concern for both the woman and her unborn child.

The tone that we take in the public square is a legitimate topic of discussion. Yet some pundits and politicians have long overlooked the prerequisite condition of authentic civil discourse; namely, honesty about the terms of the debate.

In his own words: a radical pro-abortion president

In his own words: a radical pro-abortion president | LifeSiteNews.com: Ever since Barack Obama emerged on the national political scene, he has been promoted and protected by a corps of preachers and religious leaders who have tried their best to explain that he is not so pro-abortion as he seems. Nevertheless, his record is all too clear — as is this most recent statement. There was not one expression of abortion as a national tragedy, even as a report recently indicated that almost 60 percent of all pregnancies among African American women in New York City end in abortion.
