Alabama has become the third state to de-fund the Planned Parenthood abortion business in the wake of five videos exposing how the abortion giant sells the body parts of aborted babies for research. The state follows Louisiana, which is revoking a contract with Planned Parenthood using state Medicaid dollars, and New Hampshire, which zapped $650,000 in state taxpayer funding.
Let’s keep this up, America. The veil has been pulled back, showing the blind a glimpse of the evil occurring inside Planned Parenthood. I pray that more states kill their funding of this business.
We in the pro-life movement have no enemies to destroy. Our weapons are chaste weapons of the spirit: truth and love. Our task is less to defeat our opponents than to win them to the cause of life. To be sure, we must oppose the culture and politics of death resolutely and with a determination to win. But there is no one—no one—whose heart is so hard that he or she cannot be won over. Let us not lose faith in the power of our weapons to transform even the most resolute abortion advocates.
Great article about Bernard Nathanson, a leader of the original pro-choice movement that brought forth the legalization of abortion in the 1970’s and his subsequent convertion to Catholicism and fighting alongside the pro-life movement.
It’s fascinating that abortion was legalized before ultrasound technology gave us the inside look at the unborn life of babies. A year ago tomorrow a doctor, looking at our baby on the screen, told us to head to the hospital to be induced. For nine months, we had seen our li’l girl grow from a bean-sized baby to an almost nine pound baby.
It is no wonder to any of us that have had babies that the ultrasound changed the mind of Bernard. Without seeing something, it can be hard to understand it. Even to this day, abortion activists fight against any law that would require a woman to see their child on an ultrasound before an abortion. These activists know that it would change the mind of anyone that is not sociopathic.
For abortion says, “Your life for mine,” but Jesus says, “My life for yours—even if you’ve killed your own child.”
This cold calculation is a lie. Whether embryo, fetus, baby, toddler, college student, or senior citizen, the product of a successful human conception is a human being.
But perhaps there is reason that Dr. Gunter’s lies can be perpetuated. In one way, she is right: As a culture, we fail to understand the truth about early pregnancy. The public conversation is hushed at best, leaving room for falsehoods and misconceptions. The absence of public discourse concerning early pregnancy diminishes the thing itself, leaving women confused and unprepared for the worst.
For the last day I’ve been buried in old hymns, trying to ease my heart ache. In 3 days I will be celebrating being a father for a year. My daughter, my Charm, is easily one of the best things that has happened to me. And while we are preparing to celebrate, the news is inundated with the atrocities of Planned Parenthood. With each video released, their crimes against humanity, funded by our tax dollars, becomes more clear. To say that a cloud has been over our house is an understatement.
@rdbrdd The darkness of our land has become a lot more clear. Blessèdly, our Lord is a light that cannot be snuffed out.
To avoid these videos, as most of the elected Democrats are doing, would be to turn a blind eye, but to watch is gut-wrenching and makes my heart cry out.
@rdbrdd I keep thinking how amazing it will be to see the 55 million children as they return as part of the Lord’s army on the final day.
Many of us turned to our politicians and demanded that this evil organization be defunded, while our President said that he would veto any such bill and even those that we elected into office refused to watch the videos and do anything. I’m honestly not surprised by their actions, or lack thereof. The one that we should be turning to is Jesus. Our country needs revival. Our country needs Jesus. As we remove the Bible and faith from more and more institutions, the effects of that are being felt more rapidly. Without the one that gives life, death becomes ever-present.
God help us. The next video from The Center of Medical Progress was published today. To say that I am sick to my stomach is an understatement. I feel the same as I did when I walked through the Holocaust museum at the Nazi work camp Dachau. Except that this is today.
That video is too much for me to repost, in all honesty. Instead, here is the latest interview, with an ex-director of Planned Parenthood, from Stephen Crowder.
The Flash’s first season was epic on many levels, but that they brought on Grodd was one of the most awesome parts. That this level of visual effects were used in a television show on a small network like the CW is even more impressive. Makes me excited to see what CBS will be able to do with Supergirl this Fall.
