Please pass this on to all your pro-life connections. Dr. Phil has an extremely popular show, and I'm usually a fan. However, I'm very disappointed that he's planning a show discussing when a woman should have an abortion. Please write the show an email and let him know what you think: It says "please only write if you want to be on the show". Disregard. They need to know this is unacceptable. https://www.drphil.com/drphilplugger/templates/BeOnTheShow.jhtml?action=respond&plugId=D139900002Please get the word out to as many people as possible. God Bless.

There are too many souls on the census to burden God's Providence and more importantly Mother Earth While they debate the cause of sisterhood, she begins to bawl. They plot to quell the baby and stall the drama that will put an end to the Fall They stare at her in her agony and, in communion, hum that eternal hymn of the beast "We Shall Overcome"-- They think...
