Yesterday some very significant legislation was passed in Florida. The first bill requires women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion. Doctors or nurses must also describe the development of the fetus according to what is seen in the ultrasound. Women can choose to not see the ultrasound but will need to sign off in that instance...
Meet Gianna Jessen. She was aborted on April 5, 1977. On April 6 she was born alive, a month and a half early, burned and left with cerebral palsy from the failed attempt to end her life. She now sings, writes, and speaks about God and abortion.

2 Abortion Amendments Pass | TBO
I blogged about the 1st amendment mentioned in this story. However, there is another amendment aimed at Health Care law.
You see a lot of folks while praying in front of the Supreme Court day after day. It's an odd mix of people in business suits speed walking to their next meeting; the staffer meandering around on her cell phone while complaining about the boss, tourists running and posing like Rocky on the Court steps; even a Supreme Court Justice. Once Justice Kennedy quietly came out front to look at some new security pylons installed on the sidewalk.
On Saturday evening I was so blessed to attend the Center for Arizona Policy Family dinner. The CAP organization has long been fighting for righteous government in Arizona. This year the highlight guest was, Gov. Sarah Palin.
I, personally, love going to these types of events…dressing up, being in a room filled with people who are fighting day in and day out for your same values. I have been to many events of this nature but little did I know that this year it would be one I would never forget.
At the very end of the evening, Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer and about 40 legislatures from came on the stage. I along with 1600 guests at the dinner witnessed the first bill in the nation to prohibited taxpayers funding of abortion to be signed into law! As I stood there, I knew I was seeing God answer the prayers of the church right before my eyes.
The sheer volume of pro-life legislation over the last few weeks since Health Care reform became law has been outstanding! It reminds of what Joseph said to his brothers years after they sold him into slavery:
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." - Gen. 50:20
LifeNews reports:
Florida senators today added an amendment to a health care bill that would allow women considering an abortion to see an ultrasound of their baby. Although abortion centers frequently conduct pre-abortion ultrasounds, they don't necessarily give women a chance to see them.
Sen. Alex Villalobos, a Miami Republican sponsored the amendment the Florida Senate approved on a 22-17 vote.
“I just don't see the problem with having someone have a little more information before they make a decision,” Villalobos said, according to the St. Petersburg Times.

Five hundred yards from where Jesus was born in Bethlehem sits the Holy Family Hospital. It was known as a rescuer of orphans who, by all accounts, should have been killed if their parents had listened to their culture.
This was where my life began.
Many are fascinated by the fact I was born in Bethlehem. When I was young, they asked, predictably, “was it in a manger?” A couple years ago, I found out the answer was yes. They called the area where the babies were kept, the crèche, or manger. Today, it’s a full maternity hospital, but when I was born, the crèche was a place for abandoned children. One story said:
“The ‘La Crèche,’ as the orphanage is called, is committed to the care of children, most of whom are illegitimate and rejected by Palestinian families, ‘ashamed’ of a daughter’s pregnancy out of wedlock.”
I’ve have had brief email correspondence with Sister Sophie, the nun in charge who told me I was “placed in the crèche.” Otherwise, I was met with stunning replies from government offices in Jordan, where my adoption was processed. One wrote an official letter, saying if my birth were discovered, even now, “great harm” would come to my mother. The tone was so matter of fact, that I believed it.
This is so messed up...
The 22-week infant later died in intensive care at a hospital in the mother's home town of Rossano in southern Italy.
The mother, pregnant for the first time, had opted for an abortion after prenatal scans suggested that her baby was disabled.
However the infant survived the procedure, carried out on Saturday in the Rossano Calabria hospital, and was left by doctors to die.
He was discovered alive the following day – some 20 hours after the operation – by Father Antonio Martello, the hospital chaplain, who had gone to pray beside his body.
He found that the baby, wrapped in a sheet with his umbilical cord still attached, was moving and breathing.
The priest raised the alarm and doctors immediately arranged for the infant to be taken to a specialist neonatal unit at a neighbouring hospital where he died on Monday morning.
Italian police are investigating the case for "homicide" because infanticide is illegal in Italy.
The law means that doctors have had an obligation to try to preserve the life of the child once he had survived the abortion.
