A couple of decades ago, I remember seeing a bumper sticker:  "American abortion, Hitler would've loved it" Well, perhaps the maker of that bumper sticker or the originator of that quote wasn't too far off. This story isn't about America but it is what is done with fetuses in UK hospitals.   There are those who say that the world is getting better.  Things like what Hitler did are an aberration, they claim.  However, stories like this wake us up to the fact that people are sinners in need of a Savior and the only way to get peace on Earth, goodwill to men is through the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus.  I could provide countless other examples from the world at large but unless you live in a shell, you know many of them. Even so, come Lord Jesus! Aborted babies incinerated to heat UK hospitals The remains of more than 15,000 babies were incinerated as 'clinical waste' by hospitals in Britain with some used in 'waste to energy' pla...

Bob Casey, a Democrat, was succeeded by two abortion-rights supporters: Gov. Tom Ridge, a Republican, and Ed Rendell, a Democrat. Between them, they occupied the governor’s mansion for most of the years between 1995 and 2011. “In 15 years, not a single abortion clinic was inspected by the state,” Geer told Citizen. “That was a decision made at the highest levels of the Ridge and Rendell administrations.” The grand jury report backs Geer up. It tells of how the health department under Ridge “decided, for political reasons, to stop inspecting abortion clinics at all,” holding that “inspections would be ‘putting up a barrier to women’ seeking abortions.” Likewise, the department’s senior couns...

                             (image from http://www.cnn.com/2013/03/04/health/surrogacy-kelley-legal-battle/index.html) There are lots of sad and terrible stories out there.  This is one that just warms my heart.  A surrogate mother is asked to abort the child when the baby's parents find out about her medical problems in utero.   The surrogate refuses and has the baby and then finds someone to adopt her.  Wow, I see a pro-life tour in her future. She probably doesn't see what she did as heroic but I do. Thank God for such everyday, normal heroes like her who choose life and thank God for willing couples who adopt children with special needs.  Surrogate Brings Baby to Term and Gives Her Up for Adoption

Check back from time-to-time as I will seek to expand on this 40th Anniversary Roe v. Wade posting See a video of Norma McCorvey , the woman caught in the fight that made abortion legal in 1973.  She never had an abortion and she is now a pro-life advocate Find a crisis-pregnancy center near you!   Free book by R.C. Sproul: A bortion: A Rational Look at an Emotional Issue This January 23rd marks 40 years since Roe v. Wade. Political involvement has gotten us nowhere has been my take on this awful anniversary. I urge people to operate at the grassroots, one woman/teen or young couple at a time. Political policy has failed us and now it is time to redouble our efforts to help those with crisis pregnancies make the right choice and help the crisis pregnancy centers that are the front-lines of this battle for the hearts and minds of potential parents and of the lives of their unborn offspring. TIME takes another view: Has The Fight For Abortion Rights Been Lost?...

Vote Biblical Values on Nov. 6 reads the main page of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association mobile site.    A banner on the BGEA website leads the person to this page:  http://www.billygraham.org/vote-biblical-values/index.asp  where the individual or church can choose bulletin inserts or posters with this message or display it via Facebook or Twitter.  The first story of note on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association page is "Billy Graham Welcomes Mitt Romney."  I did a search entitled "Obama" and found a meeting with Billy Graham in April 2010 that was requested by the president. In fact, Billy Graham has met with every post-World War II president right up to the present occupant.  The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association can trace its roots to 1950.  Its ministry is mostly concerned with spreading the Gospel.  Controversy surrounding Billy Graham has always centered around his broad appeal due to methodology rather than ...
