Pregnancy should be the most exciting time in a young woman’s life. It should be the time where you count the days (and sometimes hours) until the new life inside the womb makes an appearance on the world’s stage.
Unfortunately, for many new mothers, pregnancy is accompanied by worry, concern, and shame.
For all the cheering from the feminists about how science may yet prove that men are not necessary because women may be able to have children without the need for that pesky X chromosome, the truth is that it’s not the male gender that is in danger—but the female.
We’re going to resurrect Pro-Life Fridays and start looking again at life in the womb by answering some more Pro-Choice questions.
This is an exciting time for the Pro-Life movement, for in the middle of a terrible health care bill came a surprise in the further limiting of Federal Funding when it comes abortions.
So, this should be an interesting topic as the question of life comes back to the foreground.
When it comes to sex, America is considered prudish compared to the rest of the world. The rest of the world sees itself as liberated, without the moral boundaries that some in the States still cling to.
From England, we read this shocking piece of news:
Says the person with a conflicted conscience.
The society that we live in today has a problem. It is at the same time very opinionated as well as believing that the moral high ground rests in not telling others their opinion, all the while telling you their opinion.
Pro-Life causes took a hard hit last night. First, the selection of Sen. Obama means that we will have a President with a 100% approval rating from NARAL. There were also two Pro-Life Constitutional Amendments on the ballot—in Colorado and South Dakota—that were intended to challenge Roe v. Wade.
In some small way it’s good that they didn’t pass. You would want them to pass when you have a good chance of getting it to the high court, and I’m not sure if there will be a good one in an Obama Administration.
However, buried in the AP article on all of these measures is an interesting bit of news:
Holly’s asking a very valid question over at her blog—why should a person of faith vote for someone that will not protect innocent life?
I would add, that Sen. Obama goes further than that, seeking to protect “the right of the mother to kill her baby” at the price of not wanting to vote to protect those babies that are born via botched abortions and left to die in “comfort rooms” because of intent.
He doesn’t respect innocent life, why do you trust him?
Sarah spoke these words today, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. How long has it been since we’ve heard someone from the top of the ticket speak so bravely in favor of all life? God bless you, Sarah.
“In this same spirit, as defenders of the culture of life, John McCain and I believe in the goodness and potential of every innocent life. I believe the truest measure of any society is how it treats those who are least able to defend and speak for themselves. And who is more vulnerable, or more innocent, than a child?
When I learned that my son Trig would have special needs, I had to prepare my heart for the challenges to come. At first I was scared, and Todd and I had to ask for strength and understanding. But I can tell you a few things I’ve learned already.
Yes, every innocent life matters. Everyone belongs in the circle of protection. Every child has something to contribute to the world, if we give them that chance. There are the world’s standards of perfection … and then there are God’s, and these are the final measure. Every child is beautiful before God, and dear to Him for their own sake.
