Abortion, like suicide, is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

If we don’t honor life we are less than a loving, caring, compassionate person no matter the rhetoric from the left.

That so many ignored Obama’s stance on not providing medical care for a baby born alive following an attempted abortion ‘because that’s not what the mother wanted’ is the most horrifying aspect of this man’s character. Or is there no soul in him?

I fear for him and I fear for his daughters. To despise unborn life so much...........

There really are no words.

Bears repeating!

That recalls the recent news story about the late term abortion of a baby boy in Italy.

A baby boy abandoned by doctors to die after a botched abortion was found alive nearly a day later. The 22-week infant died one day later in intensive care at a hospital in the mother's home town of Rossano in southern Italy. The mother, pregnant for the first time, had opted for an abortion after prenatal scans suggested that her baby was disabled. However, the infant survived the procedure, carried out on Saturday in the Rossano Calabro hospital, and was left by doctors to die.

He was discovered alive the following day – some 20 hours after the operation – by Father Antonio Martello, the hospital chaplain, who had gone to pray beside his body.

He found that the baby, wrapped in a sheet with his umbilical cord still attached, was moving and breathing.

The priest raised the alarm and doctors immediately arranged for the infant to be taken to a specialist neo-natal unit at the neighbouring Cosenza hospital, where he died on Monday morning.

That story bore a hole in my heart and left me in tears. Since then, I have been praying for the mother, daily. She will have to live with this decision, that resulted in a baby born alive, abandoned under a sheet with no food or water, for the rest of her life.

I have not been able to shake the image of this abortion from my mind. This child came into the world, unloved, unwanted and abandoned to live for nearly one day - alone - under a sheet. My one consolation is knowing that a priest came to offer prayers on behalf of the child and its mother.
