I love studying history. A favorite of American history for me is the battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War. I have found a lot of inspiration and courage as an intercessor by studying the dynamics of Little Round Top and the choices of Joshua Chamberlain on day two of the three-day battle. It's all about watchfulness, selflessness, valor and commitment. "Hold the ground at all hazards!"was Chamberlain's charge. He was the extreme left flank and the only thing that prevented the Union army from being routed at a critical moment. He and his men, the 20th of Maine, held the position defending the hill even when they ran out of ammunition.

2. Hillary Clinton Tells Brazilians To Consider Legalizing Abortion
Ladies and Gentleman, may I have your attention, please? The Secretary of State has a a few words to share with Brazil concerning their need to legalize abortion:
"(abortion) is something that needs to be carefully thought about because of the great effect it has on the numbers of children that poor women have that they can’t educate...

3. Baby Claire Beats Abortion Odds
A dramatic pro-life rescue recently took place in Las Vegas, after a woman who had already started the process of a late-term abortion was convinced to reverse the procedure and save her unborn child, and in the process overcame a drug addiction.
The National Catholic Register reports:
...most pro-life activists and doctors are not aware that the process of some late-term abortions can be reversed once it has begun. But luckily for Jamie Stout and her healthy unborn baby, two pro-life activists knew this was the case and were able to reach out her and convince her that she still had a window of opportunity to stop the death of her child.
4. Beyond Disturbing: Abortion Clinic Shut Down In Philadelphia Pt. 3
The shocking discovery of blood on the floors and fetuses in jars led to the closing of a Philadelphia abortion clinic, but it was the death of a woman following an abortion in November 2009 that prompted state authorities to raid the facility. The woman was identified as Karnamaya Mongar.
Now, some logical people might say that people responsible for the death of Ms. Mongar are those who worked at the abortion clinic, but according to some pro-abortionists we "crazy" pro-lifers are to blame! (Who saw that coming?)

5. Which One Will You Worship?
One of the problems with the atrocity of abortion and the attitude we have toward it is our cultural desensitization of the Bible. We talk often about how abortion is a term that’s lost its meaning to many, but we neglect the undertones that drive abortion, which are financial. The classic parallel Scriptures in Matthew 6:24 and Luke 16:13 are ones most of us have heard since we were children: “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.” (Luke 16:13) We’ve grown up knowing worshiping money instead of God is bad, and we don’t do it. Do we?
Mammon can’t simply be translated money, as we often use it. It’s about more than money. Mammon was actually the god of riches. The word itself encompasses more than just how much money we have, but it also places value on wealth, possessions, and our heart toward these things.
