Pro-Aborts Lie - You Die People on the other side of the aisle consistently resort to lies instead of facts to prove their points. Even one of the founders of the pro-abortion movement has admitted they used tactics learned from Goebels, a Nazi leader credited (though it is believed Hitler really came up with it) with creating the "big lie".

Ayotte vs Planned Parenthood Today the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the Ayotte vs Planned Parenthood case. At issue is whether or an underaged girl seeking an abortion should be forced to notify her parents of her pregnancy in emergency situations or if even if her situation is not life threatening.

Enlighten Me

Other than the religious grounds, what other grounds are there against abortion? Saying it is "immoral" is only backed by religious belief, right?

The question there is, why do we have laws? Aren't laws based on morality? If they are, and your argument is that morality is based on religion, then we shouldn't have laws right?

What are we praying for? Though prayer should be a part of everything we do, we need to do more than pray. We need to do more than walk into a polling booth, push a button and then go back to our daily lives. We need to do more than talk or write about how bad abortion is.

The Litmus Test So what do you want? Don't get mad at me for quoting Republicans and pointing out their limited Pro-Life stance. What do you want? If we want to end abortion we have to keep the pressure on all representatives in office, all the time. It's not enough to simply ask "are you Pro-Life" anymore since too many people believe that abortion is Pro-Life, or that simply voting to drug a child before ripping it to shreds in the womb is all it takes. I believe the question should be "will you do your best to end abortion". No more "stealth" nominees and no more games.

Alito now not acceptable? Republicans must have backbone on the abortion issue. If there was ever a time in history, now is the time. There cannot be a double-standard. If the Dems make it the case that any person who is nominated for Supreme Court must be pro-abortion, Republicans will have to go morally underground and/or lose that important piece of morality in order to function in government.

Death penalty v. Birth penalty Judie Brown makes the case that leaders in the Catholic Church just went out of their way to make sure that convicted crimals get better treatement than innocent human beings in the womb. If DNA is used to save people who are falsely accused of murder, then why can't the same technology prove that a person in the womb who has unique DNA deserves a right to live?

Action Item / Follow-up on Umbilical Cord Research To me, the main point is that there is never the need to proceed with embryonic stem cell research. We should never kill humans in order to give other humans a better life. Until the unborn are defined as human beings they will be guinea pigs, no, less than guinea pigs. PETA and other pro-animal groups will burn a scientific facility down if they are using animals. They won't lift a finger for humans in the womb.

Worldview 2 Abortion is evil and 99% of you reading this article agree with that statement, so what are you doing about it? If Christians truly accepted that abortion is the evil we say it is we would be protesting in the streets every day by the millions until it is ended. It is one thing to talk about how bad something is, quite another to do something about it. Christians are trying to become close to God but in my opinion not doing enough to save those who are being torn away from him!

We are being taught that taking care of the elderly is too expensive and we should just pull the plug when people aren't capable of caring for themselves anymore. This teaching will shape our nation in ways we can't yet imagine. By teaching our children that murder is good we are beginning to redifine entirely the moral fabric of mankind.
