If you have published a picture of the three-year-old girl who was raped on video tape, please remove her picture and name from your Web site. However, please continue publishing pictures of her rapist, Chester Arthur Stiles and Darren Tuck, the guy who had the video for MONTHS and shared it with his buddies for entertainment purposes. (Tuck has turned himself in.)
(Wouldn't it be nice if the media were hunting and hounding criminals-at-large, rather than Britney Spears?)

Thank you, Jesus, for answering this prayer so quickly and in a way that is so easy for me to understand and accept. Please comfort this little one and protect her from this type of victimization from now on. Please also expose those similar cases that are going on, concealed, this very moment. Please rescue the little ones; please save the children.
I ask these things in your name, Christ Jesus. Amen.

BTW, here is a photo of the bottom-feeder who had the video for months and shared it with buddies for entertainment purposes. (One of the viewers grew a conscience and contacted the police.) This sicko, Darren Tuck, is walking free tonight, but is wanted in connection with violation of probation, which violates the terms of his recent release. Remember his face:
Prayers for days 1-4 Prayers for days 5-8 (More coming soon.)

This is just weird when you consider that we live in a society that values so much the freedom to do as we please with our own bodies...that it has deemed plucking a child from his/her life support and discarding him/her (i.e., abortion) acceptable.
Thus a sixteen-year-old can walk into Tiller's in Kansas and abort her baby at 9 months, but the same youngster will have to fight a legal battle if she would rather employ homeopathy than chemo to treat her cancer.
With the exception of abortion, laws are all over her body: she can't smoke, she can't drink alcohol, she can't sell her body on the street, can't smoke crack, she can't go to an R-rated movie etc.
Don't get me wrong. I think it's great that a child is not allowed to inhale toxins into her own lungs, is not allowed to introduce toxins into her digestive system. I think it's wonderful that women are not allowed to sell their bodies on the street (not because I want to spoil their fun or control them, but because I believe with all my heart that prostitution is not good for women physically, emotionally and spiritually).
When a 17-year-old girl is not allowed to refuse a blood transfusion but is allowed to have her child ripped from her womb something is awry. How is "my body, my choice" only applicable in the situation that actually extends to someone else's body?
If abortion supporters feel that a woman should be able to do what she wants with her body, if government should keep its laws off women's ovaries, uteri and other body parts, then what are abortion supporters doing to ensure the right of women to inhale crack into our lungs as we use our bodies to ply trade in the oldest profession? I certainly hope abortion supporters are doing everything they can to make these freedoms a reality for women everywhere. Because if they aren't, then the message of "My body, my choice," is at best insincere.
No one in my family or my husband's family cares at all about our first baby, which probably helps to explain why s/he was aborted in the second trimester. So I couldn't help but get teary as I watched and listened to the citizens in the videos standing up for my child and all the children like him/her. It's precious to me to know that others recognize my baby as a baby and care very much about what happened to our family when we made the horrible choice of abortion.

"You need a place to go--a place to go at Christmas and Easter and birthdays and to put flowers. If you don't a have cemetery to go to, you've got nothing," she said.
As the mother of an aborted child, I am intimately familiar with this particular "uniqueness."
