“....you don’t get that Christian backlash that you are vile...”

Who is judging who?

It’s not difficult to imagine that snuffing out an innocent life would cause some emotional aftermath to those not already inclined to kill without conscience. Yet, this article seems to paint a picture of someone the demonicrats would readily embrace: a double victim.

Initially the victim of an unwanted pregnancy, once the baby’s condition was known it became unwanted, he fit to a tee the profile of an aborter most favored by the left wing killers. Smart, able, strong, on his way, but stricken with an unwanted pregnancy. Now suddenly he’s not so strong or able; he’s a victim.

After the killing, he remains a victim, in need of therapy, redemption. He must get that from God, or from his version of God. There’s not much other humans can do for him.

I view him not with rancor or compassion. Just indifference. His choice; let him live with it. Or not.

He’s torn between the “woman’s right to choose” propaganda and the reality of what’s happened in his own life. He’s living with a terrible emotional burden the pro-abort lobby refuses to acknowledge, and he’s still insisting on preserving a “woman’s right to choose.” That’s what this sick society has done to this poor man.

If I could find some means of redemption I’d like to know how I could go about doing that.”

There is only one way for this man. He needs to accept Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Then he needs to confess his sins and ask forgivness. Only then can he be freed from his daily guilt.

Prayers going up for him and his wife.

“Things are very sad in her life that she can’t say she’s had two children.”

She had two children. At least they are feeling remorse rather then the mother wearing a T-shirt which proudly displays, “I Had An Abortion.”

I mean, hell, I’ll cup a moth and let it outside without killing it. Don’t you think I would have afforded my son better?”

Then WHY didn’t you?

YOU are a DOCTOR.

YOU have NO EXCUSE.

Tell that to Obama.

Pardon me, he is not a doctor but he does have a BRAIN and knows what murder is - he is still without excuse.

Tell that to Obama.

I have to agree with you on this. Only God can forgive him but he has to ask for this forgiveness.
My prayers are going out too.

A friend’s doctor told her that tests revealed that there was something drastically wrong with her baby. She should plan for an abortion.

After that heart wrenching info she decided to go to another doctor who determined that she was carrying perfectly normal twins.

Time to respect life and trust in God to help you no matter the condition of your baby.

Joe: “Like I’d tell anybody. Just make sure you can live with your decision because it’s irrevocable.”

CNSNews.com: Are you living with your decision?

Joe: “Every day. I’ve only told two of my friends about it and you don’t get that Christian backlash that you are vile, you are an agent of murder. Perhaps I do think that. But they said, ‘Oh no, I wouldn’t bring a child like that into the world.’


He still doesn't get it.

He's ridden with guilt and still doesn't speak out and tell them the regrets he has - that is if he really does.

If it's not right for him, why would he hesitate to tell anyone that it's not right for them?

Still playing the dopey, self righteous hypocrite.

The Divine Mercy Message and Devotion

The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us — all of us. And, he wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.

The Divine Mercy message is one we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC:

A - Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting of our sins and asking Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.

B - Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. He wants us to extend love and forgiveness to others just as He does to us.

C - Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that the graces of His mercy are dependent upon our trust. The more we trust in Jesus, the more we will receive.

“You know what is the sickest part of all? He was about 20 weeks along. We went through the whole child-birth process after the fact. And when he was born, if you wish to call it that, the doctor that delivered him said there were no visible signs of Down’s. Tell me that wasn’t a knife through the heart.”

I guess that says it all!! I wonder how many little souls are misdiagnosed.

Nope, he’s torn by the fact that they killed their baby and it turned out the baby did not have Downs after all.

I had friends whose doctor told them that tests showed their expected baby had no brain and highly urged them to abort.

They chose to put it in God's Hands.

that little 'no brainer' graduated college with honors - and now is marred with her own children - children who never would have beein born - and the there's all the generations to come that will have life because of those parents choice.
