Life Issues

You know you’re doing the right thing when China’s Ambassador to the United Nations attacks the US. In particular the Trump administration. President Trump withdrew the US and our funding from the pro-abortion UNFPA. The Chinese ambassador said, “The US government brutally denies US women access to reproductive healthcare.” He called pro-life laws in America “widespread systematic violations of women and children’s rights.” This is rich coming from a nation that for decades enforced a brutal one-child population control program. Women eight months pregnant were literally drug into abortionists’ chambers to kill their unborn babies against the mothers’ will. America will not back down to the corrupt and vile practices of China and we’ll work against them at the UN.

Advocates of abortion pills claim it’s safer than Tylenol.  Consider Rheanna Laderoute was given abortion pills and ten days later she was dead from septic shock, a blood infection.  It’s at the root of most deaths of women using the drug.  Emerson Evans of Illinois was charged with two counts of intentional homicide of an unborn baby.  A felony similar to first-degree murder with a sentence of twenty years in prison for each count.  His pregnant girlfriend didn’t want to abort their baby so he purchased chemical abortion pills for fifty bucks and slipped them to her without knowing it.  Police were called to the house for a medical emergency and found her crying in a pool of red, the baby’s body in the toilet.  Safter than Tylenol?  I don’t think so.  

If banks didn’t like a customers religious or moral beliefs – like abortion or same-sex marriage – they closed their accounts and sent them on their way.  It was a serious problem.  I’ve spoken with people who made generous grants to organizations doing good work only to have their accounts closed because the bank didn’t approve.  I’m pleased to report Bank of America has changed its policy, likely because of pushback from stakeholders.  It updated its code of conduct to read “Religious views are not a factor in any account closing decision.”  President Trump even signed an executive order last month directing regulators to eliminate “politicized or unlawful debanking.”  Banks like JP Morgan also felt the heat and followed suit.  This should never have happened. 

A twenty-something mother with one child was seven months pregnant in Maryland.  Her OB doctor said, “We can still take care of this for you,” meaning abortion.  He told the mother it would be hard taking care of two as a single parent.  Grandma got involved and called my friend Janet Morana at Silent No More, a ministry for parents after abortion.  Janet gave the grandmother a list of names of women who died in the recent past while having late-term abortions.  Grandma went to stay with her daughter and now the baby is saved from abortion, and the father will step in to help.  Why would a so-called doctor do a late-term abortion on a healthy baby?  There’s at least ten grand in it because state Medicaid pays.  Late-term abortion is real.

I’m really happy to see this.  Hundreds of pastors and their spouses from various denominations attended the Liberty Pastors Camp in Williamsburg, Virginia.  It was an intensive training in a biblical worldview and how the Church can address moral issues of our time.  The abortion issue was featured prominently.  In particular, how to combat very deceptive amendments to state constitutions allowing abortion until birth.  Attendees learned just how important elections are to furthering biblical values.  If more Christians got involved we could dramatically change our nation for the good.  If you missed the event, you didn’t miss the boat.  Online courses are offered.  Share this information with your pastor.  If we all do our part God will richly bless this amazing nation we call America. 

Recent revelations from HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy, Jr. said there was evidence organ donors weren’t actually dead before their organs were harvested.  Our two-part documentary has evidence to support this.  A recent World Magazine article on organ donation included this from a person charged with harvesting the organs.  In addition to giving a drug to paralyze the donor, “her training doctor recommended she also give a drug to block consciousness.”  Now why would that drug be given unless they were concerned some of the donors were not actually dead?  This evidence is deeply troubling.  If you have reservations about being an organ donor, taking it off your driver’s license is not enough.  Visit today’s broadcast link at life issues dot org for details to get off the list.

The New York Times has long been in the back pocket of the Democrat Party.  So, a recent article took many by surprise.  It acknowledged the Party is hemorrhaging voters.  Experts weighed in with convincing data.  Thirty states track voter registration and in every one of them Democrats are losing ground.  During the four-year window between twenty-twenty and twenty-twenty-four voters are jumping ship with no end in sight.  Its most significant erosion is among men, younger voters, and Latinos.  What puzzles many is a stubborn refusal to change course from their extreme, far-left policies like unlimited abortion until birth.  An unbridled zeal for killing unborn babies is chasing voters away in droves.     

If a doctor advises you to abort your baby for medical reasons, or any reason, that’s not God’s plan for you or your baby.  In many cases doctors are just plain wrong.  Amber Casey’s unborn son was diagnosed with a serious heart problem at twenty weeks into pregnancy.  She was told some children die before reaching five and offered abortion.  Why is it many doctors advocate for abortion at the first sign of trouble?  Amber declined the abortion but was offered it a second time.  Then a diagnosis with the aorta and later bowel abnormalities.  Amber continued to decline offers of abortion.  Orton was born weighing over six pounds and only treated for an infection.  A scan showed everything had corrected itself.  Doctors were stumped.  We’re not.  It was God.     

I told you about states passing legislation requiring schools to educate students on fetal development including a video like Baby Olivia.  Six states have adopted such legislation with more than twenty introducing bills.  There’s a shift of nearly forty points in opinion of students who see the videos.   Teen Vogue sees the video Baby Olivia as a threat and accused it of indoctrination and manipulation.  New Hampshire Rep John Sellers who introduced such legislation said, “I don’t know how you indoctrinate somebody with the truth of the development of life.”  I loved this comment the best from a therapist.  She acknowledged the videos “do have some facts,” and then added, “when you watch them you can be really seduced by those facts.”  Oh, shucks, she’s figured out our plan!

A legend has passed away.  Those who’ve been in the pro-life movement for a long time, or the tens of thousands of teens who heard her speak will remember the name Molly Kelly.  She passed away at the age of eighty-seven.  Fifty years ago, her husband was killed in an accident, leaving her with eight kids ranging from twelve to fifteen months.  Molly’s heart was with America’s teens, making sure they were equipped with the truth about abortion.  Her high energy and passion undergirded her amazing speaking abilities until an aneurysm sidelined her.  To say Molly was a legend would not be an exaggeration.  History is dotted with those who’ve made an indelible mark on the pro-life movement.  She’s one of them and I’m honored to have called her friend.
