From the NRLC website comes this disturbing factoid: An unborn child has less legal protection from feeling pain than commercial livestock. In a slaughterhouse, a method of slaughter is deemed legally humane only if “all animals are rendered insensible to pain by a single blow or gunshot or an electrical, chemical, or other means that...

Follow Up Example
My last post was an example of one of the consequences of abortion: muddled thinking about the value of human life. One reader who commented sort of helped point out what I am trying to say. I have linked an article here that explains why this is no time for us to have muddle-headed thinking. ... Continue Reading →
Logical, But Destructive
I once heard a Florida doctor spell out one of the most horrifying, yet logically sound arguments for abortion I have ever heard. I include this story in our section on the fruits of abortion because I believe that poor, muddleheaded thinking is a natural outgrowth of abortion (and other sins). As Paul writes to...

Death with Dignity
The whole death with dignity movement is tied to abortion. Since when has death been dignified? We are on the side of life, not death. Death is the enemy--the last enemy to be undone by the Resurrection of Christ. The notion that it is better for unwanted or inconvenient human beings to die by abortion... Continue Reading →
Killing and Selling Babies
WARNING: The content of this post will make you sick. Read at your own risk. The reality of abortion is that there are consequences to ideas. The idea that one has the right to terminate a human life if that life becomes inconvenient has the inevitable consequence of devaluing human life in general. If the abortion... Continue Reading →
Abortion Changes You
As this website indicates, abortion changes people. It changes individuals, and it changes a culture. On the individual level, we have failed to say loudly enough that post abortion depression is real. Many women and men live with such an awful weight of guilt. I once found myself unexpectedly alone with a man who was... Continue Reading →
Doctors of Death
There is an inextricable link between abortion (the idea that a human life at an early stage of development can be destroyed for the sake of convenience) and our present culture's fascination with death. Where abortion was supposed to clean up the back alley butcher shops, in reality, it only moved butcher shops into mainstream... Continue Reading →
Babies in Trash Cans
Even now, supporters of Obama are running ads which picture "back alley butcher" shops where women will be forced to go for abortions if anything were to happen to the Roe v. Wade decision. The truth, however, is that back-alley butcher shops would be tame compared to the death unleashed on us by Roe v.... Continue Reading →
Why Belabor Abortion?
Why continue harping on the same subject? Two reasons. (1) The awful destruction of human life in the wake of Roe v. Wade warrants the attention of any decent human being; (2) As this Pew Research poll reports, evangelicals are the only ones who are solidly in the pro-life camp nowadays. If we don't hammer...

More Rotten Fruit
Today, there is a nice article from Mona Charen detailing the rotten fruit of infanticide that is a reality of the abortion industry. Read this timely and significant article here.
Example of Bad Fruit
Abortion is supposed to be helpful because it enables us to detect "problem pregnancies" and dispose of them before the "problem pregnancy" becomes a "problem child." Forgetting for the moment that many of the so-called problem pregnancies result in the creation of a beautiful child like Trig Palin or Emily Rose, we can see that... Continue Reading →
Shifting to the Fruits
Shifting gears a bit in the abortion, I want to move downstream to the conversation about the fruits of abortion. Often, we judge decisions and directions based on the fruits they produce. We say the verdict is out until there has been sufficient time to assess whether the net result of the decision was a... Continue Reading →
Abortion Fact Checks
Barack Obama is clearly the most ardent sort of pro-abortion advocate. The record shows that he was instrumental in defeating the Infant Born Alive Protection Act while a state senator in Illinois. He has said that people are lying and misrepresenting the facts about his position, but the documents are on the table for review.... Continue Reading →
Palin Bad, Abortion Good
In an unusually frank admission, a leading doctor from Canada's OB/Gyn practices is worried that Palin's giving birth to Trig, her Down syndrome baby, is going to hurt the abortion industry. Up to 90% of Down pregnancies end in abortion. You can read the LA Times article here. I think this may have something to... Continue Reading →
Biden’s Bit on Abortion
Another common defense for pro-abortion advocates is the Joe Biden defense. Joe Biden of late has been saying that he is not in a position to push his views on others. He believes that a baby is a human from the moment of conception, but he doesn’t believe he has the right to tell others... Continue Reading →
