  • Baby Claire Beats Abortion Odds

    By Tiffani Edwards

    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.

  • Baby Faith

    By Craig Kuhns

     Every once in a while you stumble across a story that leaves you speechless, and this, for me, is one of those stories. Meet Myah and her now 11 week old baby girl Faith.

    My name is Myah. I'm 23 years old and a single mom to a very special little girl. 

    When I was 19 weeks pregnant, I was told that my baby had no brain. This condition is known as "anencephaly." I was told that my baby was only alive because she was attached to me, but that she couldn't survive on her own. The doctor said that I could continue the pregnancy safely, but that my baby would die shortly after being born. Or I could choose to terminate the pregnancy then, which would mean being induced at 20 weeks and letting my baby die without ever seeing or holding her (I don't even want to know what they do with babies in this case). Well, to some people this would be a difficult decision, but it wasn't for me. I knew there was nothing to gain by terminating the pregnancy and I already loved my daughter more than anyone else in the world. Even if she was unconscious like the doctors said and lived for only a few seconds or minutes --even if she was stillborn --it was worth it to me. And so we began our journey...

  • External Authority

    By Ian Kelly

     Today I stumbled upon an interesting article entitled “Where is the Anti-Choice Movement Headed?” from a website calledPro-Choice Action Network. The author, Joyce Arthur, bashes pro-life individuals, calling them “religious fundamentalists” and postulates that, “one of the major characteristics of a religious fundamentalist is certitude, which involves depending on and obeying an external authority.” She of course means God and the Bible. She suggests that being “anti-choice” is like being a racist or being anti-Semitic and as such will eventually become socially unacceptable.

  • What gives? (Why we vote Pro-LIFE)

    By Ian Kelly

    Bound4LIFE International has never endorsed any candidate but we absolutely do not apologize for asking people to vote pro-life. This, of course, is not always that popular of an idea.

    We recently received a question concerning our mandate to encourage people to vote for only pro-life candidates. We do not overlook issues such as poverty, drugs, abuse, and unemployment. However, we strongly believe that the abortion issue is the most important of our day just as slavery was to those who lived through those dark times. I know many are worried about our economy, and rightfully so. But think about the economic upheaval in the south due to the ending of slavery; it was disastrous, but ending slavery was the right thing to do. The toll that it took on our nation was great, but again slavery had to be ended.

  • I've Got a Bracelet Too

    By Matt Lockett

    Last night during the Presidential debate the candidates took a moment to discuss the finer points of their bracelets. I’d like to do the same and remind the 325,000 people out there that wear the same one as me to remember their commitment.

    The simple red wristband that marks so many wrists represents a set of priorities that is unpopular to say the least. Beyond the rhetoric it calls the wearer to a standard close to the heart of God–perhaps something that all the other issues hinge on–ending the shedding of innocent blood. Those that have voluntarily taken this solemn pledge have made a sober commitment to three things.

  • Spiritual Novacaine

    By Matt Lockett

    At twilight on the eve of Passover God’s people were instructed to mark their doors with blood. God said, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you.” It was a foreshadowing of the mercy that was to come for all those “under” the covering of the blood of the Jesus.

    Ezekiel 9 tells of another marking that God instructed. It’s a story of a city under siege, yet the people refuse to turn to God their only source of salvation. Angelic guards were called forward and with them came another angel carrying a writing kit. This heavenly scribe is told to search throughout the people and mark only those that grieve and lament over all the detestable things that are done. The guards followed him with destruction, and only those with the mark were passed over. How’s that for a picture of a guardian angel?
