In light of the current Gosnell trial , the question again arises as to the rights of a baby who survives an abortion.  Should the baby receive intensive care, should it be set aside so it can expire, or should it's life be terminated by the abortionist? Gosnell faces charges for allegedly choosing the latter action.  However, the law currently demands protection of all children born in the United States, including those slipping through the abortionist's hands.  Can we abortion clinics, often guilty of gendercide , to do better than Gosnell in upholding the law? According to one investigative reporter, no.  On her site (caution: graphic content), Live Action founder Lila Rose explains that " Gosnell is not alone. [These videos] document the blatantly inhuman and barbaric acts of abortionists leaving crying babies to die, or even killing the newborns themselves ." Indeed, which makes sense.  Regardless of the law, those seeking an abortion are seeking to ...

That's the story WorldMag reported on April 19.  "Cynthia's Choice" began with the abortion regime RU-486, but ended with a healthy child.  Head over and read the incredible story .  (HT: My loving wife) From page two of the article: Christian’s story has a good ending, but many others don’t. Nearly 200,000 pregnancies in the United States less than nine weeks along ended in medical abortions in 2008, the last year for which data is available. Few women realize the RU-486 process can be reversed once begun.  Delgado hopes to change that. His clinic set up a website last September, AbortionPillReversal.com , with a hotline to give women information on the progesterone treatment and connect them to local doctors willing to give the shots.

Today, we witness irony.  Following the day America remembers a civil rights hero, our nation's first black president celebrates 40 years of legal murder of minorities .  Indeed, the most dangerous place in the world is in an African American womb . As the American culture struggles to understand the impact of 55 million terminated lives, both encouraging and discouraging stories fill the Net.  On the encouraging end, it appears that advances in imaging technology provides the needed evidence to sway public opinion.  On the other hand, only Evangelical Christians seem concerned with the issue. Here's a small collection of writing on the net, in no particular order: "Lately dead" by Daniel James Devine World Magazine "The Abortion Memorial" by Jesse Johnson Cripplegate blog "Mother against child" by Janie B.

A reminder of the deadly choice of abortion.  From 180 Movie on Facebook: 180 Movie Terry (name changed) was thrilled to discover that she and her husband were soon to become parents—until she received the dreadful news that, according to medical tests, the baby would be severely deformed. On the advice of her doctor, she regretfully decided to have the baby aborted, only to discover after the abortion that the baby was not deformed at all. Terry was outraged that a faulty medical test led her to be deprived of the privilege of motherhood, and her story was broadcast on national media.   But where was the voice for the unborn baby?

My wife pointed me to a disgusting story from The Guardian .  A woman was upset that protesters were showing her pictures of her fetus outside of an abortion clinic, so she snuck off a few shots of her own abortion and posted them at  http://www.thisismyabortion.com/ . From here page: My intention in documenting and sharing my abortion is to demystify the sensationalist images propagated by the religious and political right on this matter. The perverse use of lifeless fetus photographs are a propaganda tool in the prolife/prochoice debate in which women and their bodies are used as pawns to push a cultural, political, and religious agenda in the United States. Alright, so here are a few things things about the life that was inside that do not come from a propaganda site.  Here's what's been growing inside, based on information from  http://www.pregnancy.org/  and  www.babycenter.com/ . Gender - the baby was either a boy or a girl on the outset ...

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward   -- Psalm 127:3 Keep far from a false charge,  and do not kill the innocent and righteous,  for I will not acquit the wicked. -- Exodus 23:7 With the defeat of HR 3541, the mixed message from the Obama administration is that gender discrimination in every form is wrong, except when it comes to criminalizing the murder of an unborn child simply because it was a girl. Planned Parenthood apparently feels the same way about gendercide .  Here are some undercover videos from the infamous Live Action team revealing that the market for murder is open for any reason.

I surprised my history students when I said we probably should not have "under God" in the pledge.  Little sayings like "God bless America" and "In God We Trust" can salve our national conscience when we should be on our knees in a pool of tears, pleading for God's mercy. We assume God is for us, when the opposite is probably the case. Let James White explain:

I've never been one who believes that there is a biblical requirement to home-school, though we have chosen that route and I teach classes for home-school students.  However, there is certainly plenty of cause to consider alternatives to public education. And if there weren't enough before, welcome to 2012. To start, here is a news story on gender "diversity" education out of Oakland, CA.  As part of its anit-bullying policy, the Redwood Heights Elementary School is teaching kids that like in the animal kingdom, "you can be a boy or a girl, or both," that gender is more of a "spectrum" than an either-or proposition. Read the Chalcedon report for more info on this particular trend (HT: American Vision News ).  No word on how schools plan to keep teenage boys who lie about "feeling like a girl" out of the girls' locker room. At least one might say that discussion in the video seemed relatively "clean," if not als...

For one family, it will be a merry Christmas and happy New Year.  From American Vision News : A baby born premature at 24 weeks weighing only 9 1/2 ounces has survived for weeks against the odds, and doctors are now optimistic enough to send her home by New Years.   Atlanta Journal Constitution reports , “At birth, Melinda Star Guido was so tiny she could fit into the palm of her doctor’s hand. Weighing just 9 1/2 ounces — less than a can of soda — she is among the smallest babies ever born in the world.”   While doctors warn that babies born this premature often experience developmental delays, many thrive and today are doing fine. USA Today reports of some previous cases: “One is a healthy first-grader, the other an honors college student majoring in psychology. Once the tiniest babies ever born, both girls are thriving, despite long odds when they entered the world weighing less than a pound.”   Pro-life advocates are pointing out the obvious: that ev...

Abortion is a slaughter of innocent souls that we could liken to the Holocaus t.  But what thinking fed the Nazi war machine in the first place?  Here is part of a video that explains at least one major diet of its ideology: Social Dawinism: (HT: Thinking in Christ ) Let's hope people of our day will turn from the idea that a fetus (Latin = "offspring"), particularly, the unwanted or unhealthy variety, is not a human being and therefore a justifiable mark for death.

I try to be sparing when making political commentary on this blog, so here’s someone else’s. :) Please note the following message and consider signing the petition: ________________________________________ The U.S. Supreme Court has just agreed to review and decide the constitutionality of ObamaCare – the pro-abortion health care law enacted against the clear will of the American people. The Supreme Court will now decide once and for all whether this law, which is an unprecedented expansion of government power and uses our tax dollars for the largest expansion of abortion since Roe v. Wade. The ACLJ is representing more than 100 Members of Congress filing a critical amicus brief to the Supreme Court, challenging this unconstitutional law. This is the decisive moment; we need you to act now. Sign on to our brief to the Supreme Court to reject ObamaCare and declare it unconstitutional. Your voice is critically important in this fight. This truly is a decisive moment in history whe...

Dan Philips discovered a helpful graphic that is rather graphic in the picture it paints.  Well, I mean in its telling statistics... it is safe for public viewing (as safe as the topic may be where you are).

(This is the final post on the election before the big day, a follow-up to the one on the props  and  black genocide .) Despite the American opposition to Obamacare, it passed.  Despite the massive outcry in this state against taxes and insane environmental policies, California seems committed to drive all of business away from the state. Despite a lot of things, a certain few are committed to the idea that they know better.  Perhaps they do, but this is still a country where voting and representing a constituency is supposed to mean something. I know a great many of you are also tired of political rhetoric, so here are the nuts and bolts for constructing your decision for next Tuesday.  The AFA has prepared a scorecard based on the following "pro-family" issue (among others): Taxpayer funding of abortion Protecting free exercise of religion at publicly supported colleges Passage of national health care reform (ObamaCare) Restricting free sp...

Lest we forget why Margret Sanger started it all, here is someone to remind the world that abortion "killed more blacks than the Ku Klux Klan ever lynched." Just something to ponder at the polling booth this Tuesday. Maybe even beforehand, if you get a moment. Check out the DVD " MAAFA 21: Black Genocide in the 21st Centur y" at www.maafa21.com .
