40 years ago today Roe v. Wade legalized abortion, and since then over 50 million unborn babies have been aborted. Take a moment to read this article, and then consider helping in the fight to end abortion.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS 'REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS'
by Jesse Lee Peterson
Ballad o f the Unborn
My shining feet will never run
On early morning lawn;
My feet were crushed before they had
A chance to greet the dawn.
My fingers now will never stretch
To touch the winning tape;
My race was done before I learned
The smallest steps to take.
My growing height will never be
Recorded on the wall;
My growth was stopped when I was still,
Unseen, and very small.
My lips and tongue will never taste
The good fruits of the earth;
For I myself was judged to be
A fruit of little worth.
My eyes will never scan the sky
For my high-flying kite;
For when still blind, destroyed were they
In the black womb of night.
I’ll never stand upon a hill
Spring’s winds in my hair,
Aborted winds of thought closed in
On motherhood’s despair.
I’ll never walk the shores of life
Or know the tides of time;
For I was coming but unloved,
And that my only crime.
Nameless am I, a grain of sand
One of the countless dead,
But the deed that made me ashen grey
Floats on seas of red. —Fay Clayton

Abortion/Suicide
ABORTION AND THE MOTHER'S MENTAL HEALTH:
By Creation Moments
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Psalm 127:3
Over the past several years, scientific studies of women have shown that those who have had abortions increase their risks of infertility, breast cancer and other problems. Now, a study released by the Population Research Institute reveals a whole new category of risks associated with abortion.
[Abortion and the Mother's Mental Health] The researchers learned that among girls from 15 to 18, pregnant or not, for those who have had an abortion, the chance of major depression rises from 31 percent to 78 percent. The same pattern appeared for anxiety, where, for young girls who had had an abortion, the likelihood of anxiety neuroses was doubled. The pattern also showed a doubled rate of thoughts of suicide for girls who had had an abortion as compared with those who became pregnant but had not had an abortion. A similar study of women in New Zealand had the same results. Two studies by the Elliot Institute showed that women who had an abortion were three times as likely as those who had not to be plagued with anxiety and to abuse drugs.
These studies show scientifically that it is time to stop accepting the mental health of the mother as justification for abortion. Researchers find that abortion causes mental health problems; it does not prevent them. More than this,
of course, abortion is contrary to God's will because it takes a life.
Prayer: Lord, I thank You for the gift of life, and I ask that You would turn people's hearts to treasure life. Amen.
“To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end”
If Hamlet had studied his Holy Bible, he would have known without a doubt that “to die to sleep is not the end. For if we measure the life of man as one grain of sand as compared to eternity, eternity would be greater than all of the sands of this world. So the question Hamlet should have asked himself was where will I spend eternity, in Heaven with The Father God and His only Begotten Son Jesus, or with Satan in the Lake of Fire.
What Does God's Holy Word say:
Gen 1:26And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
All of creation was for God's pleasure. The only creature created in His own image was man and woman. Man was given the ability to chose between right and wrong, Heaven or Hell.
When asked if Suicide would send a person to Hell?
“Let me just say this to you: I wish I had an absolute answer to give to you. I would just say this: I wouldn’t want to meet the Lord, after I have taken my life. And the reason is, in Genesis 9:6, murder is called the ultimate attack upon the image of God. That’s what murder is- you have violated the image of God. So, if I violate the image of God in someone else, or I violate it in myself, it is the ultimate act of lack of faith, and without faith it is impossible to please God. So, I would say, I wouldn’t want to meet Him on those terms.” – Ravi Zacharias --**
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The Living Soul is a gift that God has given to man only, no other creature has a soul. The soul will live forever. After life on earth, man's soul will spend eternity (forever) ether in Heaven with God and Jesus or in Hell with Satan.
Gen 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Now Cain willfully destroyed a likeness (image) of God: this act is the ultimate of turning one's back to God, a grave sin, it is murder!
Jdg_13:7 But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
This child (Sampson) was God's property from conception; his mother was instructed on what not to take into her body during the pregnancy.
Psa_127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Children are a heritage (gift) from God from the womb (before birth); would you destroy a gift from God Almighty? Would you destroy an image of God?
Psa_139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
This is King David telling that he was guided by God, while growing in his mothers womb
Jer_1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
God knew Jeremiah while he was in the womb and blessed him with gifts of the holy Sprite before birth.
Luk_1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
John the Baptist, like Samson was blessed with the Holy Ghost and named in the womb; God knows the name of your baby before it is born.
Luk_1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
This again is proof of life before birth!
Luk_1:44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
This was John The Baptist named by God before birth while growing in the womb
Luk_2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Again we see that God's hand is covering the child before birth, even to naming Him.
Isa_49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
God knew Isaiah's name before birth, and he knew your name before you were born and knows the name of your child.
Man has no right to take the life of any human, including himself and including an unborn child!
WE hear the word choice used to promote the right to abortion, the only choice God gave to man is to obey Him, or not.
These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Pro 6:16-19
1Jn_4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1Jn_4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
He that kills that Image which is Image of God, kills Love.
Joh_15:13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
Leviticus 17:14 “For as for the life of all flesh, its blood is identified with its life. Therefore I said to the sons of Israel, ‘You are not to eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.’
A child in its’ mothers womb has:
its’ own blood supply
its’ own blood type
It is a living human being.
Before an abortion something is living
After an abortion
something is dead.
Early church leaders recognized the Bible’s prohibition of abortion:
As the church began to spread to the Gentile cultures church leaders and others consistently forbade the practice of abortion based upon their understanding of the Bible.
Below are examples:
☛”Thou shalt not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again, shalt thou destroy it after it is born” (Letter of Barnabas 19 from 74 AD).
You shall not procure abortion, nor destroy a newborn child” (Didache 2:1 from 150 AD).
☛“There are some women among you who by drinking special potions extinguish the life of the future human in their very bowels, thus committing murder before they even give birth.” (Mark Felix, Christian Lawyer, Octavius chap. 30 from 170 AD).
☛”The law of Moses, indeed, punishes with due penalties the man who shall cause abortion (see Ex. 21:22) Tertullian, 210 AD.
☛“Now we allow that life begins with conception because we contend that the soul also begins from conception; life taking its commencement at the same moment and place that the soul does” (Tertullian, Apology 27 from 210 AD).

The End Of The Innocent
Silent cries,
Little eyes,
Never to see the light.
Tiny toes,
A pudgy nose,
A babe quivers in fright.
Little lips,
Never to speak,
Never to make a noise.
Tiny ears,
Never to hear,
His mother say
“Abortion’s my choice.”
Tiny hands,
Never to play,
Never to make and mold.
Tiny smiles,
Never seen,
A child no one will hold.
A tiny heart,
Never to love,
A heart that steadily beats.
A tiny baby,
Never to see,
The mother it will not meet.
An innocent baby,
A sweet little boy,
A child so perfect in form.
An innocent baby,
A sweet little girl,
A child that will never be born.
A tiny body,
A mind, heart, and soul,
Ripped so painfully apart.
A gift from God,
A precious life,
Never given the chance to start.

Abortion is not legal in America
3/6/2013 By Tom Hoefling
To believe that abortion is legal in America you have to believe several monstrous Big Lies:
1. That courts make our laws, even though the Constitution only grants lawmaking power to the legislative branch.
2. That our equal rights come from the arbitrary whims of men and can therefore be alienated, even though our nation's charter asserts just the opposite, that our rights come from our Creator and that they are therefore unalienable.
Any law, judicial opinion, or executive action that denies the equal right of any innocent person to live is lawless. It is null and void.
"This natural law, being as old as mankind and dictated by God himself, is of course superior in obligation to any other. It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times: no human laws are of any validity, if contrary to this; and such of them as are valid derive all their force, and all their authority, from this original.”
-- William Blackstone, Commentaries on the Law of England (1765)
"True law is right reason in agreement with nature; it is of universal application, unchanging and everlasting; it summons to duty by its commands, and averts from wrong-doing by its prohibitions. And it does not lay its commands or prohibitions upon good men in vain, although neither have any effect on the wicked. It is a sin to try to alter this law, nor is it allowable to attempt to repeal a part of it, and it is impossible to abolish it entirely. We cannot be freed from its obligations by Senate or People, and we need not look outside ourselves for an expounder or interpreter of it. And there will not be different laws at Rome and at Athens, or different laws now and in the future, but one eternal and unchangeable law will be valid for all nations and all times, and there will be one master and ruler, that is, God, over us all, for He is the author of this law, its promulgator, and its enforcing judge. Whoever is disobedient is fleeing from himself and denying his human nature, and by reason of this very fact he will suffer the worst penalties, even if he escapes what is commonly called punishment ..."
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 59 - 47 B.C.
"Human law is law only by virtue of its accordance with right reason; and thus it is manifest that it flows from the eternal law. And in so far as it deviates from right reason it is called an unjust law; in such case it is no law at all, but rather a species of violence."
-- Thomas Aquinas, Summa theologiae, Ia-Ilae, q. xciii, art. 3, ad 2m.
"Government...should be formed to secure and to enlarge the exercise of natural rights of its members, and every government, which has not this in view, as its principle object, is not a government of the legitimate kind."
-- James Wilson
"[A]ll men are equally bound by the laws of nature, or to speak more properly, the laws of the Creator."
-- Samuel Adams
"Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can. These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature."
-- Samuel Adams, The Rights of the Colonists, The Report of the Committee of Correspondence to the Boston Town Meeting, Nov. 20, 1772
"The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained."
-- George Washington, 17

View From A Child
"What did I do make you hate me?
I don't understand what I did wrong.
For six weeks along you decided to flee,
Could you just not wait that long?
Was I a burden to much to bear?
A complex trial you must face?
Were you afraid people would stare,
or cause you a lot of disgrace?
I waited in Heaven for nearly a year.
Waiting for when I'd come down.
I was so excited! I was finally here.
I would finally hear your sweet sound.
But I was rejected. You didn't want me.
You wanted me dead, what could I say.
I was just another victim of the enemy.
This would be my last and final day."
"I remember the sound of my mom's voice,
singing sweet tunes, for me to hear.
Then the doctor said, "You must make a choice."
I would not even live a whole year.
You made the decision all to fast,
Did you even think about me at all?
God had told me that I would last,
There would be nothing wrong at all.
Yes! I was rejected, they didn't want me anymore.
The sweet singing I once heard had fled away.
I was sent back quickly, knocking at Heaven's door,
I knew my Heavenly Father would let me stay."
"In only eighteen days, my heart was beating strong.
I was quickly growing. Ready to take on the world.
To rest in your gentle arms. Oh for that I would long.
But I was quickly sent back to another world."
"Sir, have you seen the numbers that happen everyday,
From the same event that took all of our lives?
It's over 125,000!" the man didn't know what to say.
He stared blankly and tears streamed from his eyes.
"But child how can this be? God has a plan for everyone,
How could most of you die within a single day?
I could not imagine not having my son.
How would anyone want to take your life away?"
"Oh, God has a plan, for each one of us.
Just sometimes His plan is not fulfilled.
Sometimes certain people will not learn to trust
And do exactly just as God had willed.
Once it is to late, that's when they change their mind,
And they live with regret for the rest of their life.
Their was nothing they could do, they were in such a bind,
Now they live with a never ending strife.
They talk about freedom, how it has to be bought,
But is this the price we as little ones must pay.
The decisions are being made, they have cast their lot.
We were left alone with nothing we could say.
If only they could see, the joy that we could bring,
As they watched us grow, and taught us how to pray.
The smiles on our faces, and all the little things.
And watched as we taught our children how to pray.
Slowly the man turned, taking one last look around.
Watching all the rejected children say goodbye.
Then he carefully trudged away, without even a sound.
Then suddenly let out a deep and painful sigh.
The day was swiftly ending. Now he would depart.
But this day would forever remain within his mind.
For it had left a void, deep within his heart,
A void, which there was no other of its kind.

ABORTION?
(Gianna Jessen ( Gianna's video)
Gianna Jessen had been in her mother’s womb for 7 months when her mother went to a Planned Parenthood, where she was told to have a late-term saline abortion. A saline abortion, also known as an instillation abortion, takes place as follows:
A saline solution (which includes substances such as saline, digoxin, potassium chloride, and prostaglandin) is injected into the mother’s uterus and into the baby. The saline solution poisons the baby, burning him or her inside and out, and burning off the outer layer of his or her skin. The baby suffers in these conditions for over an hour until he or she dies, and the mother must deliver her dead child after about one day.
Gianna Jessen survived her mother’s late-term, saline abortion.
She remained in the saline solution and was delivered alive in the abortion clinic. Thankfully, the abortionist at the clinic was not yet present, and Jessen was sent to the hospital.
Jessen was diagnosed with cerebral palsy due to the lack of oxygen during the abortion procedure. But, by age four, Jessen was walking with the assistance of a walker, leg braces, and her foster mother. Today, Jessen walks with only a small limp. She acts as a voice for the voiceless and hope for the hopeless through her pro-life activism.
“Death did not prevail over me… and I am so thankful!” Gianna Jessen proclaims.
FETAL ORGAN CURE: SCHAM
Planned Parenthood’s defense of using fetal organs to ‘treat and cure’ is a sham
By Bill Cassidy and David Prentice - - Sunday, October 11, 2015
In the wake of videos exposing its involvement in trading fetal organs, Planned Parenthood has resorted to a "silver lining" defense. The taking of brains, hearts, lungs and livers from the unborn, even the delivery of intact fetal bodies to commercial middlemen, is hailed as a valid scientific procedure. The words "treat and cure" are used.
Proponents of using fetal body parts from induced abortion claim three areas of medical research need harvested tissue: transplantation to treat diseases and injuries, vaccine development and basic biology research. Yet the facts show neither necessity nor therapeutic success when relying on an aborted baby's organs and tissues.
First, a little history. Human fetal tissue transplant research began decades ago. The first recorded fetal tissue transplants were in the 1920s in the U.K. and Italy; the transplants failed. In the United States, the earliest documented attempts came in the 1930s, to treat diabetes, and they also failed, as did transplant attempts in succeeding decades. By 1991 approximately 1,500 people had received fetal pancreatic tissue transplants in attempts to treat diabetes, mostly in the former Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. Up to 24 fetuses were used per transplant, but fewer than 2 percent of patients responded. Today, rather than failed fetal tissue, patients take insulin shots and pharmaceuticals to control their diabetes, and adult stem cell transplants have shown initial success at ameliorating diabetes.
Between 1960 and 1990, numerous attempts were made to transplant fetal liver and thymus for various conditions. According to a review just last year, "the clinical results and patient survival rates were largely dismal." Conditions such as anemias and immunodeficiencies are now treated routinely with adult stem cells, including umbilical cord blood stem cells, in some instances even while the patient is still in the womb.
Between 1988 and 1994, roughly 140 Parkinson's disease patients received fetal tissue (up to six fetuses per patient), with varying results. But this glimmer of utility faded when subsequent reports showed that severe problems developed from the transplants, including growth of non-brain tissues (e.g., skinlike tissue, hair, cartilage) in the brain. The first full clinical trial (funded by the National Institutes of Health) using fetal tissue for Parkinson's patients was prominently featured in The New York Times in 2001, documenting the tragic results. Doctors described the patients writhing, twisting, and jerking with uncontrollable movements, further noting the results were "absolutely devastating," "tragic, catastrophic," "a real nightmare." A second large, controlled study published in 2003 and also funded by NIH showed similar results, with over half of the patients developing potentially disabling tremors caused by the fetal brain tissue transplants.
These two large studies led to a moratorium on fetal tissue transplants for Parkinson's. Long-term follow-up of a few of the patients in these studies showed that even the grafted fetal tissue that grew in patients' brains took on signs of the disease and were not effective.
Disastrous results for patients are seen not only with fetal tissue but also with fetal stem cells. In a recent report, a young boy developed tumors on his spine resulting from fetal stem cells injected into his body.
In decided contrast to results from fetal tissue, a recent review found that as of December 2012, over one million patients had been treated with hematopoietic (blood-forming) adult stem cells (the basis of bone marrow or cord blood transplants), with uncounted additional patients benefitting from other adult stem cell types and transplants.
In terms of claims regarding vaccine development, it is true that early attempts (1940s and '50s) at growing viruses used cultures of mixed human fetal tissue, because it was the only human tissue that scientists knew how to grow in the lab at that time. For the same reason, viruses including poliovirus were often grown in human fetal cell lines such as WI-38 and MRC-5 in the 1960s and 1970s. But now most manufacturers of polio vaccine and other vaccines use other, more suitable cell types including monkey cells, and most do not use fetal cells. Newer cell lines and better culture techniques make reliance on fetal cells antiquated. Moreover, the Centers for Disease Control and other leading medical authorities now say, "No new fetal tissue is needed to produce cell lines to make these vaccines, now or in the future."
A clear example of the lack of necessity for further fetal tissue is development of the new vaccine — rVSV-ZEBOV — against Ebola virus. The successful results of the field trial were published on July 31, 2015 in the journal Lancet, welcome news in the fight against this deadly disease. This successful Ebola vaccine was developed without using fetal tissue or fetal cell lines, but rather with Vero, a monkey cell line, demonstrating again that medical science has moved well beyond any need for fetal tissue in productive medical research.
Broad, undefined claims also continue to be made that fetal tissue is needed to study disease biology or generic development. It is telling that these assertions never cite specific results, but only vague promises, still clinging to antiquated science (not to mention medieval ideas of organ harvest). Current, progressive alternatives such as induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells provide an unlimited source of cells for study, and can be produced from the tissue of any human being without harm to the donor. These iPS cells, whose creation won the Nobel Prize, have the ability to form virtually any cell or tissue type for basic study, disease modeling or potential clinical application. Furthermore, stem cells from umbilical cord blood also show significant potential not only as laboratory models but also for therapy, and are already treating thousands of patients for numerous conditions.
The long and short of it is that the heyday of fetal tissue research never really happened, and the gift of adult stem cell science has rendered the occasionally barbaric methods of the past functionally obsolete. Congress is right to put an end to this brutal trade once and for all and to defund its remnant of ghoulish devotees.

My shining feet will never run
On early morning lawn;
My feet were crushed before they had
A chance to greet the dawn.
My fingers now will never stretch
To touch the winning tape;
My race was done before I learned
The smallest steps to take.
My growing height will never be
Recorded on the wall;
My growth was stopped when I was still,
Unseen, and very small.
My lips and tongue will never taste
The good fruits of the earth;
For I myself was judged to be
A fruit of little worth.
My eyes will never scan the sky
For my high-flying kite;
For when still blind, destroyed were they
In the black womb of night.
I’ll never stand upon a hill
Spring’s winds in my hair,
Aborted winds of thought closed in
On motherhood’s despair.
I’ll never walk the shores of life
Or know the tides of time;
For I was coming but unloved,
And that my only crime.
Nameless am I, a grain of sand
One of the countless dead,
But the deed that made me ashen grey
Floats on seas of red. —Fay Clayton

"What would the secular media do today if there was a Mayan temple where children were brutally sacrificed daily and religious leaders were asked to bless it? Well, that's what's happening in this shocking situation. Abortion is, in reality, child sacrifice to the god of self. It's in reality no different to the shocking child sacrifice that occurred in pagan temples in history. The heart of man hasn't changed "the intention of man’s heart is evil from his youth" (Genesis 8:20). By KEN HAM

Since I entered the working world as a nurse more than 40 years ago, women have broken through unthinkable barriers. Today, more women than men are graduating from college; a record number of women are serving in Congress; and the percentage of businesses owned by women is fast approaching 50 percent. While we have made significant progress toward gender equality, a new form of injustice has taken root in our society — injustice masked by the façade of empowerment and freedom. Forty years after Roe v. Wade, the reality is, one third of my daughters’ and granddaughters’ peers are not here to benefit from the progress we have made and share in our hopes and dreams for the future. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Whether you view abortion as a radical injustice or a means of liberation, I urge you to ask yourself and others — what does 55 million aborted babies in 40 years communicate about what we as a society value? Do we value women, families, children, life? Or do we prefer convenience, short-term solutions and moral relativity?
From delivery rooms to emergency rooms to crisis pregnancy centers, throughout my career, I have had the privilege countless times to see life brought into this world, and lives saved from the edge of death. These experiences have informed and emboldened my commitment to fight for the sanctity and dignity of every human life. We cannot stand by and allow human life to be treated conditionally based on its usefulness to society or other individuals.
In the past two decades, through legislation, education and outreach, we have seen that pro-life efforts are making a difference, as the number of abortions performed in America has steadily declined; from 2010 to 2011, 400,000 fewer abortions were performed. Nevertheless, we clearly have a lot more work to do with still over 1 million abortions occurring each year.
Last year, the largest abortion provider in America administered approximately one-fourth of all abortions — and taxpayers unwittingly helped foot the bill. This organization receives more than half a billion taxpayer dollars, but it badly misuses these dollars to subsidize its big abortion business. According to its most recent annual report, the organization provided 333,964 abortions last year, in other words, one abortion every 94 seconds. In total, abortion services accounted for more than 92 percent of its pregnancy services. Additionally, news reports in recent years have detailed the organization’s numerous legal problems, including several incidents in which its employees showed an appalling willingness to cover up sex trafficking crimes.
