Victim Of Rape Encourages Others To Choose Life
• April 27, 2010 12:15 PMThis amazing story goes along with yesterday's post - 11-Year-Old Rape Victim Wants To Keep Her Baby
via LifeSiteNews:
"Don't worry, you're not going to have the baby...your womb is very young....you are very weak...it's going to be a high risk pregnancy...your life is in danger....you should consider it..."
At the age of 12 years, after having been raped by a gang in her neighborhood, Lianna Rebolledo was told she was pregnant -- and the doctors wanted her to have an abortion.
But Rebolledo, who is now 33 years old and works at a radio station in Los Angeles, says she never even considered the possibility, and she wants others in Mexico to know that she is very happy that she chose life for her child.

The True Callousness Of The Abortion Industry
• April 27, 2010 11:23 AMThe callousness of this abortionist is sobering. To so easily kill a baby without a hint of remorse is unnatural...
Testimony from National Abortion Federation, et. al. v. Ashcroft on Thursday, April 8, 2004.
Excerpts from direct examination of Abortionist Dr. Stephen T. Chasen:
COURT QUESTION: Dr. Chasen, in your experience, how is the fetal head extracted in a dismemberment D&E?
ABORTIONIST DR. CHASEN: The fetal head is extracted by placing the forceps around it and crushing it.
COURT QUESTION: How readily is that — how easy is that to accomplish?
ABORTIONIST DR. CHASEN: In some cases it is relatively easily accomplished and in other cases it is very difficult.
COURT QUESTION: Does it hurt the baby?
ABORTIONIST DR. CHASEN:I don’t know.
COURT QUESTION: But you go ahead and do it anyway, is that right?
ABORTIONIST DR. CHASEN: I am taking care of my patients, and in that process, yes, I go ahead and do it.

Nurses Punished For Having A Conscience
• April 26, 2010 03:38 PMHaving a set of standards and morals is something that the medical community should be known for, not punished for:
Eight nurses who refused to participate in an abortion at Nassau University Medical Center here March 31 are resisting disciplinary action levied on them by hospital officials.
"This is a horrendous situation,” said one of the labor/delivery nurses disciplined who asked that her name not be used. She and the others, she said, had signed paperwork at the time they began working there stipulating that they would not be required to assist in abortions but have often faced pressure to do so.

11-Year-Old Rape Victim Wants To Keep Her Baby
• April 26, 2010 01:07 PMThis story is both tragic and heroic:
An 11-year-old girl in Mexico allegedly raped by her stepfather and now more than four months pregnant says she wants to have his baby – despite pressure from women’s groups who want her to have an abortion, pro-life activists in the country say.
They say attorneys for abortion-rights activists have shown up at the girl's home with plane tickets in hand in an attempt to whisk her away to get an abortion, but the child has said adamantly, “This is my baby. I’m having my baby. I will call my girl Alejandra.”
The girl was taken for an ultrasound last week and was able to see the fetus and learn its sex for the first time. She said the 11-year-old was very excited to see the image of her baby girl moving during the ultrasound.
“When the girl looks at the baby on the screen she is even more sure she wants to have it,” Mancera said. “The mother said,“That’s my grandchild, we are going to have this baby.”
The girl said she’d picked out a name for a baby, a name she wishes were her own. “Her name is Alejandra,” she told doctors, Mancera said.
The girl's doctors say she and her baby are in good health, Mancera said, but that because of the girl’s small size she’s going to need constant medical attention when she reaches her seventh month. Because of her size, the doctors will perform a cesarean section.This little girl is brave. She probably does not understand the full implications of what life will be like after she has her baby, but what is clear for this girl is that killing her child is not an option.
What's sad is, if Planned Parenthood had its way, this girl would have had an abortion and another sex crime would have gone unreported. To be honest, if it were here in the States, the rapist may have payed for the abortion, himself.

Unspotted From The World
• April 26, 2010 12:17 PMLast week I wrote about adoption. Saturday I read this article on adoption, in which Kay Warren, wife of megachurch pastor Rick Warren, asserts that not being actively involved in adoption might mean you aren’t a Christian at all. Warren’s assertions are bold, but they are also biblical. She addresses an important scriptures on Life, James 1:27:
“Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”
Most of us know the first part of that verse, but we tend to not discuss the last part. How does caring for orphans and widows keep us unspotted from the world?
Warren says:
"It has nothing to do with personality, it has nothing to do with spiritual gifts, it has nothing to do with economic status, it has nothing to do with your season in life," she stressed. "It has to do with accepting the responsibility that God will one day hold us accountable."
