abortion
Selective Outrage posted at RealChoice. Christina has compiled a list of women who have died from “safe and legal” abortions. The list is at least 5 times as long as the list containing the names of those who died from abortion before Roe vs Wade legalized it. Abortion kills no matter how do you twist it. It kills babies but it also kills mothers.
January 7: Big day in Aurora Planned Parenthood saga posted at jillstanek.com. Jill, once again, is bringing attention to Aurora Planned Parenthood saga. Planned Parenthood lied through all the process of getting permits from the city of Aurora zoning board before building their death camp there. Make sure to visit Jill’s blog from more coverage of Aurora Planned Parenthood saga.

“Imposing Our Beliefs” on Others posted at National Pro-Life Action Center. From the page:
in the United States we have stringent federal laws that protect not only the national bird, the bald eagle, but also that eagle’s eggs. If you were to chance upon some of them in a nest out in the wilderness, it would be illegal for you to destroy those eggs. By the force of law, we recognize how the egg of the bald eagle, that is to say, the embryonic eagle inside that egg, is the same creature as the glorious bird that we witness flying high overhead. Therefore we pass laws to safeguard not only the adult but also the very youngest member of that species. Even atheists can see how a bald eagle’s eggs should be protected; it’s really not a religious question at all. What’s so troublesome is how we are able to understand the importance of protecting the earliest stages of animal life but when it comes to our own human life, a kind of mental disconnect takes place. Our moral judgment quickly becomes murky and obtuse when we desire to do certain things that are not good, like having abortions, or destroying embryonic humans for their stem cells.
euthanasia
Apologetics | Sanctity of Life | Euthanasia posted at The Christian Institute. From the article:
Holland has allowed voluntary euthanasia for some years, but the Dutch Government has acknowledged that there is a serious problem with involuntary euthanasia. Furthermore, in 2004 the Dutch Government called for an investigation into the non-reporting of euthanasia by doctors.7 One study suggested only 54% of cases were reported in 2001.
That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of pro-life blog carnival using our carnival submission form.

Let me preface this comment by saying that I support your beliefs about abortion. I understand the importance of this issue…
But I have a fear that this single issue may play a part in the demise of this nation in many other ways… and here's why… please read this knowing it is written without trying to disrespect the issue at hand.
The reality is that, no matter how much you want it to, or believe it should, or whether or not it is right… the matter of abortion is NOT something that will change in our legal system, NO MATTER WHICH PRESIDENT IS IN POWER.
So this leaves you with a decision… make your vote based solely upon an issue that will NOT change in the next 4 years, or make it based on issues that WILL.
Your vote will NOT change the number of unborn children that die, I am so sorry if that sounds harsh, but I am just trying to be honest, but it CAN change many other things. The number of poor, sick individuals who die from a lack of health care, education that allows underprivileged children the opportunity to embrace the American dream and truly have an opportunity to better themselves, the lives of innocent, already born children, dying in a war zone, the women, men, and children left widowed or parentless in war, the rights of women to receive birth control so that if they ARE going to be sexually active, they don't end up pregnant and choosing abortion. These ARE things that CAN change with this election.
So I beg of you, believers in God. Please don't ignore all other issues in front of you because of this one. Please remember the old adage…
God, give me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,
The courage to change those I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Please know that I am not saying that I think abortion is okay, or that you should give up the fight… but more I am saying to please REALLY think about the reality of the situation, and don't IGNORE the other humanitarian issues that should be prevalent to those of faith because you are so focused on this one issue that will not go away in the next four years.
Thanks for your time.
God bless.
