"There is a painful emptiness for which there is no cure. Our future hope has not dulled today’s pain.
It is our belief that our God will be glorified through a truthful accounting of our experience. It will be ugly, and revealing as to our weakness. And this is precisely why we need Him."
I have an old friend who had a daughter with Trisomy 18. She chose late term abortion. She has no regrets. She also has no memory of kisses against the warm cheek of her living infant, no 99 days of cuddling, no memories of how she smelled, no assurance that her daughter ever knew her love, no pictures or video of her daughter alive, no birthday celebrations, no memory of what her daughter was like, no memories of bathing and dressing her child...
Eliot probably suffered some in spite of his parents' diligent efforts. My friend's daughter suffered during the late term abortion that her mother requested and paid for. And she never laid eyes on her mother's face, never felt her mommy's caress, was never held and rocked and sung to...
Eliot was only given a short time on this earth, and his parents didn't take that time away from him. He had trisomy 18. He also had the powerful love of two parents who understood that love does no harm--Trisomy 18 may, but love never does.
Thanks for your love, Mom and Dad Mooney. Thanks for your beautiful example. In the face of terrible adversity, you lived in such a way that God's love could bless you with the full richness of Eliot's life and the fondest of memories.

This is a joke, right? Where are Ashton Kutcher and his hidden cameras?

It would be like conducting a study on skin cancer caused by sun exposure...using newborn subjects.

If you pray, please do so for this little boy and his mommy. They're going to court again tomorrow.

"Feminists heralded the proliferation of abortion as a tool by which to 'empower' women and give them control over their lives and destinies. But power is being pregnant. Because it gives you control over other people's lives. Embryos and fetuses get you treated like royalty. Not only do people cede the right of way to you; not only do people in line at the ladies' room let you get in front of them; but if the man who impregnated you sticks around for just a few more months, you get to lie on the couch all day and just point to things, and they magically come to you. You just have to say, 'Honey, I think I'm craving a ---,' and the chocolate-banana-peanut-butter milkshake appears in your hand. What can be more powerful?"
Abortion 1: Bless the Pilot: Song featuring repetition of the lyric: "Oh my God; we made a baby..."
Abortion 2
Lyrics (as best as I can tell): "No on'es getting out of you alive No one's getting out of you alive No one's given any chance to try No one's getting out of you alive Don't worry I'll be there and don't be so so so so scared I'll take your fear and protect you if you let me Don't you forget me funny, how I hate me."

"FOCA states that prior to legalized abortion 'an estimated 1.2 million women each year were forced to resort to illegal abortions, despite the risk of unsanitary conditions, incompetent treatment, infection, hemorrhage, disfiguration and death.'"
Hmm.
I wouldn't want to accuse the abortion industry of inflating numbers for their own gain, but I'm having trouble comprehending how a population of 200 million in 1970 could render 1.2 million illegal abortions when a population of 300 million in 2006 rendered 1.3 million legal abortions. "
