I am a cradle Catholic and for most of my life, I didn't do a single thing to help stop abortion/child murder. I have tried to make up for that in the last several years. I KNOW I can do more.
Prayer is very important - but action MUST accompany prayer. (Unless physically unable). There are so many simple yet powerful things we can do. (If you are interested freepmail me.)
There are some 175-200 MILLION "Christians" in America. If we each did 1-hour of pro-life a month, just sixty damn minuets a month, we would end "legalized" abortion/child murder in no time--and change the world in the process.
I firmly believe that the solution to ending the culture of death does not realistically lie with changing the minds of pro-abortion adults; it lies with preserving the 99+ % of children that are naturally pro-life on their first day of school.
Comprehensive sanctity of life before birth education in ALL CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS from K-12 is THE MISSING KEY OF THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT

School Worker Wins Battle Over Union's Support of Abortion -- 11 ... A school psychologist credits her resolve and some pro bono legal work for winning a battle over her teacher's union dues because she had religious objections to the union's support of abortion.
Kathleen Klamut filed charges with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against the Ohio Education Association (OEA) for its refusal to allow her to defer her part of her union dues to charity because of her religious objection to abortion, which the union supports.
July Education Reporter -- Teachers Saving Children Offers ...
The National Education Association (NEA) adopted its pro-abortion policy in 1985, amended it in 1986, and affirmed it every year thereafter. NEA Resolution I-13 on Family Planning states:
"The National Education Association supports family planning, including the right to reproductive freedom.
"The Association urges the government to give high priority to making available all methods of family planning to women and men unable to take advantage of private facilities.
"The Association further urges the implementation of community-operated, school-based family planning clinics that will provide intensive counseling by trained personnel."
Citizen Magazine Feature - For the Children? The National Education Association says it's dedicated to educating children, so why is it so busy promoting abortion, homosexuality and a host of other liberal causes?
Some NEA members see this resolution as unconscionable, and each year they attempt to eliminate or undermine it. Such attempts are routinely shot down by NEA delegates. This year, pro-life NEA members attempted several different strategies, including the introduction of an amendment scuttling Resolution I-12 and two new "business items." As in years past, their efforts were crushed.
One Minnesota delegate shares why such change is important. "Kids lives are at stake. This is not about adults. This is about kids and their livesthey need a voice."
Unfortunately, the voice coming out of the 2.6 million-member union is not about kids. Its a shrill call for more abortions, more gay rights, more leftist causes, and most of all more powerthe power of a union to dominate the $400 billion education industry.

Thank you for posting this. It is a shame and an embarassment to realize that the Holocaust is an equivalent to abortion in America. Thank you for posing the challenge for us to actually practice our Christian principles; instead of just speaking or singing about them.

If none of the Jews had ever gone to the gas chambers and the only thing the Nazis had done was to require abortions of Jewish mothers, we would have still hung them for war crimes at end of WWII.
It has almost come to a point where the United States needs to be divided into area where there are what we would call decent laws. There should be some states we could go to where there is no murder of unborn children, the criminals are punished and the populance has a right to protect themselves and people are judged on their ability instead their sex or race.
I don't really know how to fix this. When we hear about how immoral we are from the muslems, you have to wonder sometimes if they aren't right.

Thank you for this post. I have always been a pro-lifer, but I really didn't understand what abortion was doing to our country and our children until I started volunteering at our local Crisis Pregnancy Clinic. My eyes have been opened wide. My heart breaks for the unborn and for the young women that are being lied to and deceived by abortion clinics. I just recently read a book by Carol Everett entitled "Blood Money". This bood is a MUST READ!!!!!
God bless you for the work you are doing.

It's
a poem...
I found myself in anger, I cried out in despair.
I prayed, "L-rd let them hear me! Let just one person care!"
I raised my voice to heaven, as the train kept moving on.
As we passed behind the church yard I could hear the worship songs.
I cried out all the louder, to the Christians there inside.
But they raised the chorus louder, not hearing me outside.
I knew they heard the whistle and the clacking of the tracks.
They knew that I was going to die and still they turned their backs.
I said, "Father in heaven how can your people be
so very hard of hearing to the cry of one like me?
I shouted, "Please have mercy! Just a prayer before I die!"
But they sang a little louder to the Holy One on High.
They raised their hands to Heaven but the blood was dripping down.
The blood of all the innocent their voices tried to drown.
They have devotions daily,
they function in My Name,
and they never even realized
it was I upon that train.

>There are some 175-200 MILLION "Christians" in America.
I think you're vastly overestimating the number of Christians in America. For a more realistic estimate, compare the number of cars on the road on an Easter Sunday morning or Christmas morning vs. the number of cars on the road Monday morning containing people going to work in almost any major city in the US.
I think 10%-20% is probably a better guess - and I'm speaking of practicing Christians here, not just people who check a box on a census form.
Or as I like to say regarding Catholicism - there are three kinds of American Catholics...Priests, Nuns, and the sort that doesn't let the Pope interfere with using a condom when sleeping with a girl they picked up at a bar during Lent.
(and before you get annoyed with me for Catholic bashing, the same thing could be modified and applied to Protestants...about the only group I've come across that this wouldn't apply to would be Mormons, who seem to be a peculiarly unusual brand of good people.)

Do you know if there have been studies done comparing and contrasting any correlation between the advent of abortion and the rise in teenage violence?
Michael Moore and his ilk try to blame Columbine on guns.
I believe its because of a lack of respect for life. When people dont have a respect for life, they will use whatever means is most convenient to perpetrate their acting-out actions. I believe gang and other teenage violence actions occur because the perpetrators either dont fully appreciate or dont believe that actions have consequences. How can those who havent been taught any values see beyond abortion on demand, political correctness, and nonjudgmental jargon to understand those consequences?
That no black and white, right or wrong, only shades of gray philosophy is probably what lets those who have an agenda ignore or distort facts when they lobby to forward that agenda. (Secondhand smoke studies that ignore other environmental factors or distort the data come to mind. Likewise, that now discredited Emory University professor Michael Bellesiles who distorted historical data to prove his thesis regarding the history of gun ownership in this country when he wrote his book, Arming America. We already know that Michael Moore has no conscience. In my experience, I find that most far-left liberal agenda actions fall in this category.)
I suffer from several nonfatal chronic illnesses. In 1996 when I first got online, I was appalled to learn that a Canadian support group placed those who chose to commit suicide rather than cope with illness on what they called an honor roll. Regardless of how much I accomplish now, I still miss the me I used to be. But I dont choose to late term abort myself because my Christian values have taught me there is a quality to life. I give back in whatever ways I can.
Isnt it ironic that those who trumpet their beliefs that we should separate God from our political lives insist on playing God when it comes to their politics regarding what they like to label quality of life issues?

From another thread, titled "Demos: Out of their minds or just reality?"
From Post # 12 by Captain Shady "Which is why the best man for Democratic nomination is John Estrada. The Democrats would do well to dump socialism and embrace the Democratic Freedom Caucus."
At first glance, John Estrada appears to support the right to life. And while Dems should dump socialism, I can not embrace the Democratic Freedom Caucus.
The website looks interesting & inviting, until I got to the Platform:
d) Reproductive Rights. - Each individual should have the right to control his or her own body, including making choices about family planning. Since people have different views about whether a fetus is a "person", an individual having an abortion should be considered innocent unless it is proven that a fetus is a person, having all the same rights as persons. Just as children do not have as many rights as adult citizens (such as the right to sign contracts or vote), a fetus does not have as many rights as a child. However, a fetus may have some limited rights, such as the right not to be tortured - if there is a possibility that a fetus may feel pain from an abortion, then anaesthetic should be required.
Perhaps your 'ping list' would like to visit this other thread and give a good response to the above paragraph.
