The signs would read, in part, that "it is against the law for anyone, regardless of the person's relationship to you, to coerce you into having or to force you to have an abortion."
Facilities that don't comply could be fined as much as $2,500.
Sen. Beverly Marrero of Memphis was one of two senators who voted against the measure and called the legislation "intimidating."

LINCOLN, Neb. | Nebraska lawmakers are set to debate a first-of-its-kind bill that would change the current foundation of abortion restrictions.
The bill (LB1103) scheduled to be debated on Tuesday would bar women from getting abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, based on the assertion that fetuses feel pain by then.
The current criteria is fetus viability — the ability to survive outside the womb. While determined on a case-by-case basis, viability is generally attained at 22 to 24 weeks.
The bill would make it tougher for women to get second trimester or late-term abortions by requiring them to be near death or at risk of irreversible physical harm.
The bodies of 21 babies, believed dumped by hospitals, have washed ashore on a riverbank in eastern China, state media reported Tuesday.
Video footage showed that the bodies -- stashed in yellow plastic bags, at least one of which was marked "medical waste"...
The Oklahoma House has approved three anti-abortion bills by wide margins...
The first prohibits abortions based solely on the sex of the child. A second known as the Freedom of Conscience Act allows health care professionals to refuse to participate in abortions.
The third bill makes it illegal for anyone other than a physician who is physically present to administer the chemical abortion pill, RU-486.
On March 26th, 2010 the Georgia Senate passed SB-529, the Coercion and Non-discrimination ban. With 33 yes’s to 13 no’s the bill passed through the Georgia Senate and now heads to the Georgia House of Representatives. The bill is a companion to House Bill 1155, the Prenatal Non-discrimination act. The House bill is partly based upon federal legislation that Arizona’s congressman, Trent Franks, introduced in the U.S congress.
This legislation seeks to make it a crime for anyone to coerce or solicit a woman to abort based on the race or sex of her child. It would also make it illegal for women to choose to abort based on those factors.
Duke University’s Women’s Center has canceled an event about motherhood because the sponsor was engaging in pro-life expression elsewhere on campus. A Women’s Center representative told Duke Students for Life (DSFL) that “we have a problem” and an ideological “conflict” with the event, which was supposedly canceled to protect Duke women from encountering the event during the group’s “traumatizing” pro-life “Week for Life.”
But it was Cecil B. DeMille who turned Moses into a symbol of American power in the Cold War. The 1956 epic "The Ten Commandments," the fifth highest-grossing movie of all time, opened with DeMille appearing onscreen.
"The theme of this picture is whether men ought to be ruled by God's law or whether they are to be ruled by the whims of a dictator," he said. "The same battle continues throughout the world today."
Did you notice the guy from the Personhood campaign refer to "Wilberforce"? In case you don't know, William Wilberforce was a British politician who lead a movement to abolish the slave trade. For 26 years he would present a bill to end the slave trade and every year the bill would be soundly rejected. He never gave up and in 1807 the Slave Trade Act was passed.
Hearts and minds change as does public opinion. What was once looked upon as beneficial can, in time, become reprehensible ergo the ending slavery.
Bound4LIFE's Monday Roundup
Each Monday we will brief you on last weeks top 5 blog posts. This is your way to see what the community is talking about and stay up-to-date on the musings and movement of Bound4LIFE.
Be back on Monday with our "Round-Up". Until then be encouraged with this tasty treat:
Just days after the historic health care bill became law, abortion activists on both sides of the political aisle are preparing the battleground for November's mid-term election, which could see a revival of the hot-button issue...
If a woman is pregnant, then what is she pregnant with? It's not a riddle nor an enigma...
As I see it, you have limited choices:
For those of you suffering from Post-Health-Care-Fatigue Syndrome (PHCFS) this may only serve to worsen your condition.
A CBS News poll released yesterday found that nearly two in three Americans want Republicans in Congress to continue to challenge parts of the health care reform bill…
The majority is not reality. This phrase came out of my mouth in personal prayer the other day and ended up taking on deeper meaning for me in light of our national crisis with abortion and health care.
At the risk of sounding redundant, prayer is so obviously and simply the solution to what ails us as a nation. What’s happening in the heavenly realm is the reality we need guiding us in this time in our nation...
This is almost too hard to watch; I was getting embarrassed for the guy...

Planned Parenthood of Greater Memphis Region will have a new $2.8 million home at 2430 Poplar pending state approval in April.
The clinic purchased the three-story office building previously occupied by Family Services and it will be Planned Parenthood's health center and administrative offices.
The clinic will completely renovate the first two floors of the 30,000-square-foot building before it moves in this summer from its prior location at 1407 Union.
The mother, whom KOMO News has chosen to identify only as "Jill," says the clinic kept the information "confidential."
When she signed a consent form, Jill figured it meant her 15 year old could go to the Ballard Teen Health Center located inside the high school for an earache, a sports physical, even birth control, but not for help terminating a pregnancy.
"She took a pregnancy test at school at the teen health center," she said. "Nowhere in this paperwork does it mention abortion or facilitating abortion."
Jill says her daughter, a pro-life advocate, was given a pass, put in a taxi and sent off to have an abortion during school hours all without her family knowing.
Today, President Obama is due to sign an Executive Order "reaffirming" restrictions on federal funding of abortion. This was a last minute deal brokered by the White House and Rep. Bart Stupak in order to get the votes needed to pass Health Care.
I know some people look at the Executive Order as a good idea, while most probably do not. I briefly addressed my concerns about using an Executive Order instead of law to protect our Nation's unborn, here. Today, however, I decided that a picture may do a better job of addressing the issue.
A jubilant President Obama signed the health care bill into law today, saying health insurance is now a basic right for all Americans, reports The Oval.
Before the signing, members shouted out an Obama campaign chant: "Fired up! Ready to Go! Fired up! Ready to Go!"
That's some what humorous because that's exactly what many state attorneys general are saying, too. Why? Because the battle over Health Care now moves to the States!
Last night, Congress passed the Health Care legislation 219-212. To be sure, there are some good things in the bill and some bad. Regardless, the question being asked by the readers of this blog as well as the pro-life community is: What now?
The debacle of democracy that was carried out as Christians celebrated the Lord’s day Sunday had us waking up to religious freedom and going to sleep to liberties denied. There’s little I can say that will give anyone any new political commentary or analysis over this situation. I am not a political pundit or a media marvel. What I am is a Christian in all seasons. I am a Christian when things go my way and a Christian when they don’t. I serve one Lord, and I serve Him even if the law tells me not to. And as I write this, that’s, indeed, what’s happened
As I write this Congress has not yet voted on the pro-abortion Health Care Bill. They're just beginning debate. A couple hours ago Rep. Bart Stupak held a press conference saying that he will shifting to a YES vote for the underlying Bill later today. He informed everyone that he had struck a "deal" with the White House in order to secure his vote and presumably the votes of his pro-life alliance. The nature of this deal will involve passing the pro-abortion Health Care Bill with the promise of an Executive Order from President Obama that bans the funding of abortion.
(Scroll down for updates)
The rumors are flying! Apparently, Rep. Bart Stupak has been in talks with the White House about an Executive Order concerning abortion language in the health care bill...
Do House Democratic leaders have enough votes to pass the bill? Can pro-life Democrats, once again, determine the outcome of Health Care legislation?
Jesus reigns supreme.
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
(Colossians 1:15-18 NIV)
I can mark on a calendar the day God singled me out and called me to be an intercessor for America. I didn't know fully what I was getting myself into then, but I made a commitment to not be among those who shrink back in the days of spiritual battle. Too much is at stake. Lives are at stake. I've made my Nazirite vow–primarily because the Lord is worthy–and my desire is that this life can be of value for the advancing of His kingdom.
Intercession to be sure is verbal. But intercessors are connecting with God not through words and actions but through emotions and agreement. Words can only take you so far then comes the breaking point. Most people get to the edge but then retreat because of the need to fill the void of quietness. They feel useless unless they can get loud or can articulate what is going on inside of them. They pray and read hoping to somehow put into words the prayers burning inside of them all the while not realizing that the inexpressible is expressing, through them...
As the health care debate progresses, it seems that some who like to call themselves pro-life are looking into those funky funhouse mirrors and seeing distortion as reality...
You ever get the feeling the government isn't listening?!
Since the beginning of last November, support for the plan has ranged from a low of 38% to a high of 47%. Opposition has ranged from 49% to 58%. Those who Strongly Oppose the plan have consistently far outnumbered those who Strongly Favor it.
The president sits down with FNC's Bret Baier to discuss the health care reform bill.
For those of you just joining us, this is where we're at with health care legislation:
I know this will seem like a sudoku nightmare, but stay with me...
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a fierce critic of the health care reform bill, changed his mind, abandoned his own principals and today said he would vote for it. This brings Speaker Pelosi one step closer to the 216 votes she needs.
Kucinich previously voted NO on health care reform and is the first NO vote to be turned into a YES vote. But the numbers game doesn't stop here...
If you're a regular reader of this blog, then you already know that our invested interest (some say obsessive) in the Health Care Reform debate has been strictly focused on the abortion issue. Our firm stance is that we're are at a moment of cultural shift, and the nation cannot go the way of taxpayer-funded abortion. We are not simply ignoring all the other important aspects of the health care debate. This is just the patch of land that the Lord has given us to defend...AND DEFEND IT WE DO!
However, if you're even lightly following the news and the progress of the Health Care Bill that's before the House right now, you've probably heard someone say in the last few days, "We awaiting the CBO score." Not wanting to waste any valuable brain hard drive space, you might have chosen not to even question what that was. After all the President has assured us that America doesn't want to be bothered by legislative process, right? RIGHT? (facetiousness intended)
Eighty-nine per cent of respondents strongly agreed that “nothing is more important than family,” and 67 per cent strongly agreed that “marriage, by definition, is between a man and a woman.” Additionally, 60% strongly agreed that “abortion is morally wrong.” Overall, 75% believe abortion is morally wrong...
Word just came in that four Democratic Congressmen that were "no" votes on the health care bill have now switched to a "yes" vote.
We need you to flood their offices with phone calls, faxes and if local, go by their offices. Especially target Rep. Altmire from Pennsylvannia....
Bound4LIFE director Matt Lockett wrote this blog Sunday to make us aware of what’s happening in the ever-changing health care process which includes abortion funding with tax dollars. He emphasized,
“I SINCERELY DON'T WANT ANYONE TO THINK THIS WEEK ISN'T THE MAKE-IT-OR-BREAK-IT WEEK.”
I was struck by Matt’s emphasis. There’s a good reason for it, and even as I read his statement and the rest of the blog, which you need to read completely if you support LIFE and want to be informed, I was enlightened on an important spiritual point as well.
One of the number one rules of writing is to know your audience. So why does the director of a pro-life organization need to emphasize anything so strongly to readers of a pro-life blog? Because the enemy of our souls is also the author of confusion...

To sum it up: Speaker Pelosi wants her colleagues to pass a bill that "fixes" the Senate's bill. In passing this so called fix bill, the House would "deem" the Senate's bill passed without even voting on it. Did you catch that? The House would pass the health care bill without even voting on it!
Republicans have responded to this crazy scenario:
House Republicans will look to force a vote on a resolution that would force a vote on the Senate bill and not a rule that would deem that bill as having been passed.
Tony Perkins of Family Research Action is holding a LIVE WEBCAST tonight to discuss this final stage of the Health Care Bill. Bound4LIFE has a great respect for Tony Perkins and his work to protect the unborn. I would strongly encourage everyone to participate in this webcast.
Scheduled national speakers will include:
The tactic -- known as a "self-executing rule" or a "deem and pass" -- has been commonly used, although never to pass legislation as momentous as the $875 billion health-care bill. It is one of three options that Pelosi said she is considering for a late-week House vote, but she added that she prefers it because it would politically protect lawmakers who are reluctant to publicly support the measure.
"It's more insider and process-oriented than most people want to know," the speaker said in a roundtable discussion with bloggers Monday. "But I like it," she said, "because people don't have to vote on the Senate bill."
Bob Schieffer: White House May Have to Waterboard Dems to Pass Health Care...
This health care bill will change the face of America. Some may welcome this change, believing it will be a benefit to our nation. They assume it will get us closer to our goals of reaching the needy and providing for the poor. Perhaps in a measure this is true. I am not saying there can be absolutely no potential benefit from this bill. However, I will say this; I do believe time will prove this bill is more damaging to America than we will ever know. A bill that is being paraded as helpful is in reality, destructive to the core of who we are as a nation...
The New Yorker asks the question this week, "What will the Supreme Court be like without its liberal leader?"
In the Slaughter Solution, the rule would declare that the House "deems" the Senate version of Obamacare to have been passed by the House. House members would still have to vote on whether to accept the rule, but they would then be able to say they only voted for a rule, not for the bill itself.
Thus, Slaughter is preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill "passed" once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes. Democrats would thereby avoid a direct vote on the health care bill while allowing it to become law!
Constitutional attorney Mark R. Levin asks, "They're going to present a rule, issued by her committee as chairman, that says that the House already adopted the Senate bill when we know it didn't?"
Bound4LIFE's Monday Roundup
Each Monday we will brief you on last weeks top 5 blog posts. This is your way to see what the community is talking about and stay up-to-date on the musings and movement of Bound4LIFE.
*UPDATED 3/16/10 8:41 PM* Here's the latest Whip count on House Democrats' positions on healthcare reform legislation.
I wanted to make you aware of an internal memo circulated on Friday by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD)–Assistant to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. In the memo, a basic timeline is presented for how the Health Care Bill is expected to proceed this week. It calls for schedules to be cleared on Friday and Saturday anticipating a vote (or perhaps something else) on the floor.
In a phone interview today with National Review Online, Rep. Bart Stupak made these statements.
They’re ignoring me. That’s their strategy now. The House Democratic leaders think they have the votes to pass the Senate’s health-care bill without us. At this point, there is no doubt that they’ve been able to peel off one or two of my twelve. And even if they don’t have the votes, it’s been made clear to us that they won’t insert our language on the abortion issue.
Dystopia is the opposite of utopia. In literature, dystopian communities are those where everyone supposedly lives equally and is treated fairly, but when we look behind the curtain, we see only one wizard controlling the show. In actuality, the perceived utopia (ideal place) becomes a dark and despairing pit where only the select few have any rights. Does this sound like the current discussion about the health care plan that calls itself equal coverage for citizens under the guise of democracy?
This is a shocking confession from democratic house leaders about funding abortion:
House Democratic leaders Thursday abandoned a long struggle to strike a compromise on abortion in their ranks, gambling that they can secure the support for President Barack Obama's sweeping health care legislation with showdown votes looming as early as next week...
For years, I have taught a classic short story by Shirley Jackson called “The Lottery.” Students who read it for the first time are horrified by the culmination of the story. The town fertility ritual includes the annual stoning to death of a randomly selected innocent citizen, and even the victim’s young son is seen picking up pebbles to throw at Mommy, while Mommy screams how it’s not fair as the townspeople pounce...
The Daily Caller reports:
Two pro-life House Democrats did not sound optimistic Thursday about the prospects for reaching a compromise on abortion language in the health care bill.
Rep. Bart Stupak, mobbed by reporters on his way into a meeting of House Democrats to examine parts of the bill, was asked if he will require a guarantee that the Senate fix the language if the House passes it.
“There is no guarantees in this town,” Stupak said.
Take a look at this. GE wants to put the power of ultrasounds right in the palm of the hand. It's literally no bigger than a cell phone!
Would House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow House Democratic leaders try to cram the Senate version of Obamacare through the House without actually having a recorded vote on the bill?
Not only is the answer yes, they would, they have figured out a way to do it, according to National Journal's Congress Daily:
As a follow up to the extraordinary pro-life events of January 17-18 in Houston, TX everyone should be aware that Planned Parenthood is still publicly declaring anApril opening for the 78,000 square foot Abortion Super Center. That's next month.
With the threat of reconciliation being used in the Senate to pass Health Care legislation many have wondered what Sen. Byrd would do. Why?...
For starters, Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) is the longest-serving Senator as well as the longest-serving member in congressional history. He has been the Dean of the Senate since 2003. He is also the oldest current member of the Congress. And he has been President pro tempore of the United States Senate since 2007. Plus, he is a historian of the Senate and believes strongly in the rules and procedures of the Senate.
So will he go along with his party on this one or will he stand opposed to this tactic as he did when President Clinton wanted to use reconciliation to pass health care?
And now a break from the regular scheduled programming...
Everyone is saying we're in the "end game" for the health care bill. Do you think that's true?
Today, March 10, is the National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers. The many health care professionals who make abortion access a reality by providing counseling, scheduling appointments, and assisting with or performing abortions are doing necessary work despite immense stigma and hatred, and they have my heartfelt thanks.
With this in mind, I would ask that you watch the following videos and then pray for a Mass Exodus of workers out of the abortion industry!
This led to speculation that Rep. Bart Stupak - who has been a spokesperson for a group of democrats opposed to current abortion language in the health care legislation - may be ready to compromise on the language of the bill and cut a deal.
Yesterday, The Weekly Standard reported this:
Michigan Democrat Bart Stupak said yesterday at a townhall in his home state, "I'm more optimistic than I was a week ago" that a deal could be reached to pass a health care bill that bans public funding of abortion. Some speculated that this meant Stupak was ready to cave. "Obviously they don’t know me," Stupak said in an interview this afternoon with THE WEEKLY STANDARD. "If I didn’t" cave in November, "why would I do it now after all the crap I’ve been through?"
Here's some news coming out of Utah:
Via The Salt Lake Tribune:
Gov. Gary Herbert signed into law Monday a bill that would allow a woman who arranges an illegal abortion to be charged with criminal homicide.
The new law is in response to a case last year where a 17-year-old pregnant girl paid a man $150 to beat her in hopes of inducing a miscarriage. A judge ruled there was no law on Utah's books allowing the mother to be charged with a crime.
"Females cannot take survival for granted," the report said. "Sex-selective abortion, infanticide, and death from health and nutritional neglect in Asia have left 96 million missing women ... and the numbers seem to be increasing in absolute terms," it added...
Did you know the word Democracy is no where to be found in either the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution?
Watch this video to learn more:
“We’re getting a lot of pressure not to say anything, to try to compromise this principle or belief,” Stupak said. “[T]hat’s just not us. We’re not going to do that. Members who voted for the Stupak language in the House – especially the Democrats, 64 Democrats that voted for it – feel very strongly about it. It’s been part of who we are, part of our make up. It’s the principle belief that we have. We are not just going to abandon it in the name of health care.”
Yes, Stupak is getting pressure from leadership in his party to keep his mouth shut and even compromise, but it is vital to remember that we battle not with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers in heavenly places (Eph. 6:12). Folks we are waging war against spiritual wickedness. And the enemy is not taking any of it lying down...
Bound4LIFE's Monday Roundup
Each Monday we will brief you on last weeks top 5 blog posts. This is your way to see what the community is talking about and stay up-to-date on the musings and movement of Bound4LIFE.
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.
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...
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.
This morning I was discussing the current state of the Health Care Bill with Lou Engle and how the abortion issue is taking over all the headlines today. You can sense that lawmakers are unnerved by how the abortion issue demands to be dealt with right now. One commentator made it vivid and clear saying you can't split the baby -- you either win or you lose on this. As Lou and I were discussing these things we began to ponder a recent dream given to us by a trusted prophet intercessor. A key piece of the puzzle suddenly became clear, and we were compelled to broadcast an urgent call to prayer.
Wanna talk bipartisan support? Looks like Republicans and Democrats agree: Using reconciliation to pass health care is a bad idea!
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.
As I previously wrote about here, the abortion issue, if left unresolved, could mean lights out health care.
MSNBC reports:
A congressman who has played a key role in the long-running health care bill debate says he and 11 other Democrats will vote against the overhaul bill unless a provision subsidizing abortion is removed.
Rep. Bart Stupak argued Thursday that the provision in the Senate-passed version has language that would permit the federal government to "directly subsidize abortions."
Rep. Stupak continued his discussion of this topic with Fox News:
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?)
This video is from JillStanek.com and has footage of some of our Bound4LIFE folks during a Silent Siege.
Just look for the red LIFE tape:
Health Care legislation will only be passed with a 50-plus-1 vote. And the President is all for it...
This is a follow up to this morning's Health Care Is Going Nuclear post.
Via The Daily Caller - Republicans on Capitol Hill said Tuesday evening they are confident that a key bloc of pro-life House Democrats who voted for President Obama’s health-care reform last fall will vote against it now, as the White House tries to push a bill across the finish line.
Such resistance from even a few of about a dozen committed pro-life Democrats would almost certainly doom a health-care bill. It is not the only challenge complicating Obama’s attempt to pass a bill, but could be the biggest.
"During the 111th congress, opponents of Democratic legislative initiatives incorrectly began to refer to the budget reconciliation process as the nuclear option."
We have been talking about "reconciliation" for some time now. And while it has only been rumored that Senate democrats will use this method to push through health care legislation, I think everyone saw this coming.
A Clay County legislator's plan to outlaw abortion in Florida has gained quick traction with the anti-abortion community but faces numerous obstacles, from skeptical House colleagues to the U.S. Supreme Court.
State Rep. Charles Van Zant, R-Keystone Heights and a Baptist minister, filed a bill this month that would make nearly all forms of abortion a first-degree felony for the provider, punishable by up to life in prison.
"I just felt like we're destroying a lot of Florida's children, and we need to stop," Van Zant said, "and I felt led by the Lord to do that."
The arguments that declare that a fetus isn’t a baby are completely exposed as lies when one looks at Nepal. This report detailing the discovery of late term aborted babies in Nepal ought to be a stark wake-up call to every pro-abortion naysayer.
We do this in the United States. We hide it better. But these pictures are truth. The column ends with an admonition to “not be cross-armed” after seeing this and reminds us of Proverbs 31:8-9:
“Open your mouth for the mute, For the rights of all the unfortunate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, And defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.”
Dead babies qualify.
Fetus s a nice-sounding, desensitized clinical term but the fact is, a fetus is a dead baby, a muted person who has been stripped of rights and left to die.
Wait! You cry. That’s Nepal. They aren’t civilized like we are! Before you try that fallacy of logic, examine this.
Here's an update on the PA. abortion clinic fiasco. You can read Pt. 1 of this story here. But just to refresh our memories: the clinic was shut down due to blood on the floors and decade old fetus' in jars.
Take note of the doctor's chilling thoughts:
A Philadelphia doctor whose medical license was suspended because of conditions at his Philadelphia abortion clinic says that he provides "the very best of responsive care."
Dr. Kermit Gosnell tells WTXF-TV that he offers "the same care that I would want my daughter to receive."
