Well said! Thank you.

I would also add that women who have been given a prenatal diagnosis of genetic defect are rarely, if ever, offered alternatives other than abortion. I know from the personal experience of many friends that couples who are facing Down Syndrome or other genetic disorders are pressured HARD to abort. It’s very, very sad. When they cave to the pressure, they have the “procedure” done then are kicked to the curb as soon as their vital signs are stable & the dr deems that that are able to go home. I am not aware that any follow up counseling or treatment is given. What’s more, the medical profession treats them as if they made the right decision, so any negative post-abortion feelings that they may have are suppressed since they’re made to feel like they shouldn’t feel bad. Unbelievable. This happened to a friend of mine & as a nurse anesthetist who occasionally works in a women’s hospital where late term abortions are preformed, I’ve seen this first hand. Also, as far as I know there are only 2 states whose laws require that perinatal hospice services be offered to these women as an alternative to abortion. In the other 48 states, these families are left to think they have no options.

Anyone who reads this & fails to see the inherent lies in the abortion industry is either mentally ill or just plain dishonest. We live in the Culture of Death.

With respect to the need for humor: Many of us have chuckled when somebody drives by and yells, “Get a LIFE!”

Well, actually, yeah. That’s kind of the idea....
