Mother Teresa of Calcutta once said: "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."
The greatest challenge facing the western world is not violence from without, but the tragic decision to take a life within.

God bless these people who had the courage to stop killing innocent babies by supporting abortion in one way or another.
Ping!
I have a friend who used to be pro-choice. Then she got a job as a receptionist at an abortion clinic. She says teenagers would come in, not even old enough to drive themselves but they’d be getting their 6th, 7th, 8th abortion. She saw women who wanted their baby, but were being pressured by their boyfriends to “get rid of it” and they caved. She saw guys who wanted their baby, but the chance was stolen from them because their girlfriend “didn’t want to get fat”. She saw people destroyed by what they’d done. The things she saw just in the waiting room made her sick. She is now staunchly pro-life.
Tough read, but there is hope that more are seeing the light.
One was one too many, and we are a nation that has allowed 50+ million we have a heavy chain around us to amends and we have yet to start the penitence phase.
Fantastic testimony. Tell her that God blesses her in this decision.
I believe that number has swelled to 55 million in 40 years.
So sad.
I once had a pupil write an “essay” “justifing” her having procured an abortion. The topic however, was “The Supreme Court decisions and Abortion”. It was not supposed to be a “reality” confession. Tens of millions of Americans would fight you over abortion, but I was unaware of so many multiple abortions by the same individuals.
I couldn't help thinking that some pro-lifer must have set them up in a sort of memorial for the missing students who had been aborted and could not be a part of that graduating class.
I did some stealth questioning and found out that I was right.
A sly observation and deduction. Those students understand. BTTT!
I was particularly nauseated that Abby Johnson was asked to leave her Episcopal church because she was pro-life. No dissent from liberal dogma is permitted. No tolerance for you! The only tolerance is for their only rigid doctrines.
But on the bright side, this pushed her into the Tiber, and she has sloshed her way across it. That’s great, a blessing.
Better late than never.

In February 2004, US Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from performing p/b abortions (stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls).
Michelle Obama considers partial-birth abortion "a legitimate medical procedure," and asked supporters for $150 to attend a luncheon for her candidate husband, b/c he would fight against "cynical ploys" to stop p/b sbortions.
(NOTE: nurses at an Illinois hospital in 1999 discovered babies were being aborted alive and placed on shelves in soiled utility rooms to die unattended.)
BACKGROUND Legislation was presented on the federal level and in various states called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. It stated all live-born babies were guaranteed the same constitutional right to equal protection, whether or not they were wanted.
BAIPA sailed through the U.S. Senate by unanimous vote. Even Sens. Clinton, Kennedy and Kerry agreed a mother's right to "choose" stopped at her baby's delivery. The bill also passed overwhelmingly in the US House.
NARAL went neutral on it. Abortion enthusiasts publicly agreed that fighting BAIPA would appear extreme. President Bush signed BAIPA into law in 2002.
But in Illinois, the state version of BAIPA repeatedly failed, thanks in large part to then-state Sen. Barack Obama. It only passed in 2005, after Obama left. Obama articulately asserted that legislation protecting live aborted babies might infringe on women's rights or abortionists' rights.
In 2003, as chairman of the next state Senate committee to which BAIPA was sent, Obama stopped it from even getting a hearing, shelving it to die much like babies were still being shelved to die in Illinois hospitals and abortion chambers.
(NOTE As chair of that same committee, state Sen Obama once abruptly ended a hearing early, right before the parents of six children killed as a result of Illinois' drivers licenses-for-bribes scandal, were to testify in favor of Choose Life license plate legislation. Obama stalled. He later killed the bill when no one was around.)
“Fewer young physicians are willing to perform abortions, he noted.”
Of course. Abortionists have always been the lowest scum and vermin of the medical profession, despised generally by real doctors. They are the creatures you see scurrying about when you pick up a large rock on the ground.
No one who isn’t possessed or sociopathological goes into medicine to become a baby murderer.
Thanks.
I hadn’t heard of webcam abortions.
I guess the medical profession is allowed to lower its standards when it involves abortion and profits to a democrat donor.
