  • The Lottery

    By Susan Tyrrell

    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...

  • Which One Will You Worship?

    By Susan Tyrrell

    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.

  • Airing Dirty Laundry or Pointing the Finger in the Wrong Direction?

    By Matt Lockett

    This morning the controversial billboard campaign created by our good friends at the Radiance Foundation was featured on CNN's American Morning. Right now there are 80 of these billboards up in the city of Atlanta, and it's creating a lot of debate. What's interesting is that much of the debate is taking place within the Black community itself.

  • Abortion In The Comfort And Privacy Of Home

    By Ian Kelly

    Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Oregon plans to offer medication-induced abortions at its clinics in Ashland and Eugene beginning sometime in March.

    Cynthia Pappas, Planned Parenthood's executive director, said the organization's board of directors decided to offer the service to provide women with an option for terminating a pregnancy in the comfort and privacy of home. Medication-induced abortions use drugs to expel a fetus.

    The comfort and privacy of home? Forgive me but I had to do a google search for that phrase just to see what it pulled up. Here are my favorites:

  • Medicine And The Holocaust

    By Susan Tyrrell

    The more I learn about World War II, Hitler, eugenics and extermination of people groups, the more stunned I am at the double talk which emits from the mouths of those who would dub themselves pro-choice but who would, with another breath, condemn Hitler.

    The fact is, supporting the alleged right to an abortion is tantamount to making a pact with Hitler to destroy people deemed less valuable. Hitler called them Jews. Pro-abortion folks call them “unplanned pregnancies.” There exists no difference in the outcome. Semantics never change reality.

  • Planned Parenthood Opens New Supercenter In Oregon

    By Ian Kelly

    On Valentine's Day, Planned Parenthood opened another of its abortion supercenters in Portland, Oregon. It is Oregon’s largest abortion center, as well as one of the largest in the nation.

    Oregon Right To Life released a statement about the opening of this facility:

    Despite Planned Parenthood’s attempts to downplay its focus on abortion, the organization’s 2007‐2008 national annual report reveals its commitment to its abortion business. Abortions performed at Planned Parenthood clinics around the nation increased 5.3% over the previous year, totaling 305,310 abortions, approximately 25% of all abortions done in the United States. Abortions at Planned Parenthood clinics have nearly doubled in the past 10 years, while at the same time total abortions have dropped nearly every year.

  • Wanted By God

    By Christina Martin

    I recently had the pleasure of attending a baby shower held on behalf of a beautiful, 15 year old girl. This African-American teenager went through the shock and pain of a “crisis pregnancy”. Her mother and then boyfriend strongly encouraged her to abort her unexpected child. Her believing Grandmother spoke up and refused to let that happen. She stepped in and offered to take the girl into her home and help her raise her baby. As the grandmother later told me “Abortion is murder, and no matter how this child has come into the world, I would not let my granddaughter kill her”.

  • US Military To Make The “Morning-After” Pill Available

    By Susan Tyrrell

    The US Military is nothing if not consistent. Perhaps our first clue should have been in late 2009 when Army Major Nidal Hasan was charged with killing 13 people at the Killeen Army base, instead of the 14 that should have been counted, since one woman was pregnant. We are used to the double standard in this nation that almost always charges people (correctly) with two murders if they are accused of killing a pregnant woman yet allows abortion as legalized murder.

    This is why I was grieved, but not shocked, when I saw this article over the weekend which announced that the US military has decide to make the “morning-after” pill  available at all US military health care facilities worldwide.

    “The decision to carry the pill, often referred to as the morning-after pill, was based on a recommendation by the Pentagon's Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee, an advisory panel made up of medical professionals from the military services, Pentagon officials said Friday.”

  • A Good Question

    By Susan Tyrrell

    I was one of thousands who gathered in Houston to take a stand in prayer against the Planned Parenthood abortion Super Center Jan. 18. The experience was awesome, encouraging, and sobering, all at once, but the one element that has not left me was a small one: the group of pro-abortion protesters who were barricaded by police directly across from where I spent the first two hours of the Siege.

  • Super Bowl Ad Should Not Tell Truth

    By Ian Kelly

    Mr. Tebow is causing quite the stir right now for actually having some convictions and for (wait for it) talking about those convictions.

    "The NFL's championship game is still two weeks away, but some women's groups are already protesting one of the commercials scheduled to air during the Super Bowl.

    University of Florida football star Tim Tebow and his mother will be featured in a commercial sponsored by the Christian group, Focus on the Family.

    Protesters say the ad will likely promote an anti-abortion message."

  • Stand Or Fall

    By Susan Tyrrell

    As we prepare to take a massive stand this weekend in Houston against the Planned Parenthood clinic being erected, my heart has been stirred by a Scripture that hold s a principle we in America often like to ignore.

    Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil. (Ecc. 8:11)

    In our nation, we have not begun to see trouble on a widespread basis. One reason 9/11 stunned us so much is because we felt invulnerable. It seemed unless we chose to go to war, we were immune. But just like war, sometimes if we don’t choose to go, we will suffer greater. A delayed judgment isn’t an absence of judgment.

    It can be easy, when years go by and we remain comfortable, to think that that judgment stuff is “Old Testament law” and since God is merciful and it will be okay. We say things like “I hate abortion but there are so many problems in the world, and we can’t fight them all.”

    But we can fight this...

    By Matt Lockett

    Planned Parenthood is building in Houston, TX the second largest abortion facility in the world. With it they are targeting minority families both Black American and Hispanic. It literally resembles an ancient Aztec temple used for human sacrifice.

  • Webcast Tomorrow Night: Crisis On The Senate Floor

    By Ian Kelly

    National Healthcare System

    Recently, I sent an E-Blast with Tony Perkins, President of Family Research Council, calling the nation to join an urgent national webcast prayer convocation to ask God to restrain federally funded abortion in the health care system. On that E-Blast I wrote:

    On Friday, December 4th, I was awakened early in the morning with a burden to pray, as I considered the consequences of abortion being mainstreamed into the national health care system if the senate health care bill is passed as it is right now.

    I turned to 1 Chronicles 21 where the destroying angel had come to the threshing floor of Ornan. God, in his heart of mercy, restrained the angel of death, saying, “Enough! Restrain your hand.” The angel of death still hovered between heaven and earth with its sword drawn. Even with God’s restraint, the verdict was still in the balance as to whether or not the death march would continue. An earth being, namely David, had to agree with God’s restraint through repentance, paying the full price, and offering up the atoning blood. When David went up to the threshing floor in repentance and erected the altar and offered the sacrifice, God heeded the prayers and the angel of death sheathed its sword.

  • My Plea To Black America

    By Christina Martin

    As an African American woman, abortion survivor and general lover of mankind, I have to say that I am outraged over what is happening in Houston, TX right now. Even now as I write this the 2nd largest abortion facility in the world is being constructed in our nation. This is atrocious beyond words. What's particularly grievous to me is the fact that this death-center is being built right in the middle of 4 minority neighborhoods. Three of these neighborhoods have an average 85% Hispanic population and the fourth is 80% Black American. Planned Parenthood founder, Margaret Sanger's agenda from the start of her organization, was to use birth control and abortion to bring about black genocide.

  • Houston, We have A Problem

    By Matt Lockett

    The second largest abortion clinic in the world is being built at this present moment in Houston, Texas. This six-story Planned Parenthood abortion "Super Center" is right in the middle of four (4) minority neighborhoods. Three average to 85% Latino in population and the other is 85% Black American. Planned Parenthood is targeting these minority pro-family communities, both for their finances and the restriction of their populations. But, there is a voice rising out of Houston and out of Texas, declaring, "We don't want this in our neighborhoods!"

    On Martin Luther King Jr.'s holiday, January 18th, 2010, thousands are gathering to march against this Goliath to pray, fast, and peacefully siege this massive injustice in the spirit of that great liberator Martin Luther King Jr. This is a great hour for the Hispanic pro-LIFE people, Catholic and Evangelical, to raise their voices against abortion and for adoption. Public opinion over abortion is shifting radically in America to pro-LIFE at the same time this facility is exalting itself above the humble and oppressed.

  • Surprising Opposition

    By Susan Tyrrell

    While we have known that some Christian denominations have swayed to a liberal side on issues such as abortion, even the United Methodists have now joined the ranks of publicly petitioning against the very amendment we cry out to God and to our nation’s leaders to support. This letter to the Senate appeared Monday and is a disturbing reflection of a tolerant religious spirit that is sweeping across Christianity. The amendment, once again, doesn’t even take away abortion; it simply means we don’t have to pay for it. Some people within the streams of Christianity now feel that we should not limit abortion at all:

    The groups say their position is that there is a "social and moral obligation to ensure access to" abortions "at every stage in an individual’s life."

  • The Real Right To Choose

    By Susan Tyrrell

    The abortion issue in our nation is often one the coincides with the selfish attitude we perpetuate in Western culture. It goes something like this: I live in America. I want the American Dream; you can’t stop me from getting what I want.

    The problem with the health care reform issues is that the pro-abortion side has taken this idea to the nth degree. With their demand for choice at any cost, they have attempted to remove my choice to not pay for their choice...

  • Abortion Clinic Employee Attacks Pregnant Pro-life Volunteer

    By Ian Kelly

    An abortion clinic employee attacked a pregnant pro-life volunteer outside the Central Family Medicine abortion clinic in Kansas City, Kansas, while she was engaged in peaceful, First Amendment activity.

    On November 14, 2009, an unidentified abortion clinic employee came out of the Central Family Medicine abortion clinic and began to taunt the pro-lifers. Her verbal abuse escalated into violence as she rammed her shoulder into sidewalk counselor Jennifer McCoy, who is noticeably six months pregnant. A photograph taken by protest leader Mark Gietzen of the Kansas Coalition for Life shows McCoy recoiling and bracing for the hard impact that occurred a split second later.

  • Saving The Status Quo

    By Susan Tyrrell

    President Obama is arguing that it’s necessary to pull the Stupak Amendment banning federal funding of abortions because he doesn’t think we should alter the status quo. The definition of status quo is the existing state of affairs, the ways things are. With that definition, he is arguing against himself because currently my money does not pay for the shedding of innocent blood without my having a choice. The status quo, in this case, works for me.  There is a cultural definition of status quo that it appears the president likes better. It says:

    “The existing order of things; present customs, practices, and power relations: ‘People with money are often content with the status quo.’ ”

  • Cold-Hearted And Unreasonable?

    By Ian Kelly

    I'm stumped. It wasn't but a week ago that people who opposed health care legislation, because of abortion funding, were being called ignorant, cold-hearted and unreasonable.

    The attacks basically had the same tone to them. We were unreasonable because we could not set aside our difference of opinion on abortion and think of the greater good. We were told to consider not only abortion but the millions of uninsured people who are struggling without health care. We were the bad guys. How dare we oppose such legislation. Of course, that was when everything was going according to plan.

  • Relentless

    By Micah Meisburg

    On the siege line, there is a battle that rages around and within. Shouts of profanity might fill your ears. Sorrow might fill your heart as you witness firsthand such brazen infamy. What seemed so noble at first begins to feel distasteful. “Don’t you have anything better to do? Mind your own business!” Or so the voices say.
     
    Yet there is a motivation that surpasses the discouragement of injustice and disdain. It is a motivation that surpasses human ability, and has strengthened my hope, time and time again. It is something more powerful than death, and to which all resistance must ultimately give way – the persevering love of Jesus Christ.

  • Our Action Plan

    By Susan Tyrrell

    While we rejoice over the victory of the Stupak-Pitts Amendment which would create a ban on public abortion funding under the proposed national health care plan, a Planned Parenthood leader is seething. Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Action Fund, sent out this letter to her mailing list Sunday afternoon. Some of the things she said struck me, not only for obvious reasons but because of the parallel we as Christians should be noting. We could actually learn a lot from them.

    “At Planned Parenthood, we fought together with you until the bitter end (thank you), and once we lost the vote on women's health, we started to do what we do best — gear up for our next fight.” - Richards

    The warrior attitude Richards is portraying should be our attitude as we battle in the heavenlies for the lives of the unborn. Jesus makes a striking point when the Pharisees accuse Him of being of Satan when He casts out demons. He says:

    "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand. And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? ... Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters. (Mat 12:25-26, 29-30)

    We want the “goods”—the ending of abortion in America. This isn’t the time to cry, “Democrat!” “Republican!” It’s the time to cry, “JESUS!”

  • Passion Is Not Passive

    By Susan Tyrrell

    The nation was gripped a couple weeks ago when up to 20 people watched a gang rape of a 15-year old girl take place and no one spoke up or called the police. CNN reported on the psychology of bystanders and looked at the history of those who have stood passively by while acts of violence occurred.

    Often we remain horrified at these acts, declaring we would certainly intervene, but don’t see the parallel in our own call to contend for the ending of abortion in America.

  • Abortion - The Greatest Crime Lowering Factors In American History”?

    By Christina Martin

    I was recently in an airport when I purchased a copy of the NY times best seller “Freakonomics”. This book was written by economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner. Since its 2005 release it’s sold more than 4 million copies and been published in 35 languages. From Time magazine to the Washington Post this book has gotten rave reviews. The San Francisco Weekly exclaims “I can’t think of a single adult I know who wouldn’t enjoy reading it”.  All this praise seems disturbing in light of the appalling thoughts expressed in its pages. Namely their proposal, that abortion could be considered “one of the greatest crime-lowering factors in American history”.

  • Pregnant Teenager Paid Man To Beat Her In Abortion Attempt

    By Ian Kelly

    A judge has released a 17-year-old Vernal girl from jail after ruling she did not commit a crime when she allegedly paid a man to beat her in an attempt to end her late-term pregnancy.

    The release, which came after the girl's mother obtained a second opinion on her daughter's no contest plea, has incensed some lawmakers who argue the ruling skirts laws governing legal abortions in Utah.

    "The judge is absolutely stretching," said Rep. Carl Wimmer, R-Herriman. "There's no way the judge believes the Utah Legislature left open this loophole. I guarantee it will be closed this next session."

    Eighth District Juvenile Court Judge Larry Steele sided with attorney Rich King, who argued under Utah law and around the country women are not held criminally liable for soliciting an abortion.

    "Women may use any procedure or method of terminating pregnancy, by abortion or by miscarriage, and they cannot be charged with a crime," King said.

    Judge Steele called the girl's actions to end her seven-month pregnancy "shocking and crude" in a four-page ruling Thursday, but said her actions "fit the definition for an abortion. As such, she cannot be held criminally liable for her actions pursuant to the Utah abortion statutes."

  • School Sex Clinics?!

    By Tyler Vaughn

    If you aren’t fully convinced that there is an agenda for abortion behind the Health Care Reform bill, then maybe you should check this video and article out.  Not only is abortion simply about killing, (as if that was ever a simple matter) but it is about the systematic dismantling of the family -- and that is what is being pushed through in this bill.     

    Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., went before the House and stated that the Health Care Reform bill would allow school “sex clinics” to be established and would keep parents from ever knowing about the care and treatments there child undergoes.

    Why has Congress not looked at Planned Parenthood in the same way? More than a couple videos have shown Planned Parenthood employee's giving instruction's on how to circumvent the law as well as helping to cover up statutory rape.

    Should Congress hold Planned Parenthood to the same standard as ACORN?

    By Matt Lockett

    I was thinking this morning about the very real possibility of Planned Parenthood in Sioux Falls, SD being shut down this week and South Dakota becoming the first abortion-free state in America (see "Planned Parenthood License Could Be Suspended"). I can't think about something like that and not think about my dear friend Dr. Patti. She used to perform abortions for Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota. Now she loves Jesus and carries a profound message of his love, forgiveness and the power of his blood. I hope watching this again (or for the first time if you've never seen it) blesses you and acts like gasoline on the fire of your prayers.

Wade most abortions were back alley, morbid, bloody, dangerous procedures and that women for the most part were fleeing to the border, heading to the black market or performing self-induced abortions, which lead to higher rates of deaths.
