Recap of Pro-life Day of Solidarity
October 21 was the student Pro-life Day of Solidarity. How did it go?
Bryan Kemper of StandTrue.com reported 250,000 students on 4,700 campuses in 25 countries not only stood as silent witnesses to 1/3 of their generation now dead by abortion but for all babies aborted.
Bryan reported at least 49 babies were saved. Here are stories of a few…
And a couple other heart-warming testimonies:

Apologetics |
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
What wonderful young people. God bless them!
It’s good that these kids stand up for what they believe in
Opps I forgot a period.
Honestly Amanda you hit the nail on the head but try getting them to think about it, lol.
I thought Amanda was banned?
Maybe she’s living in Osama’s harem?
I believe these women are incredibly courageous to come out and stand up for their unborn sisters (and brothers). God certainly used some of them to touch the hearts of a few expectant moms.
The number of babies saved in now up to 55.
God bless these young people!! They are so inspiring!
This is a very uplifting post! It’s so good to see what these young people are doing, and with such rewarding results. 55 babies saved! That is just wonderful.
In other news, the US military struck in Syria yesterday, near the border of Iraq. It killed 8 people- including 4 children. The US army has not revealed any motivation for the strike.
Gee, the candidates you guys support will protect fetii, but once they’re out of the womb, LET’S BOMB THE **** OUT OF THEM!!!
Erin,
That is terrible news.
Janet – actually that’s a false report – US Special Forces were going after AQI and dropped into Syria. The action wasn’t a bombing, it was a ground action.

It was a Syrian civilian building that was fired upon. Reports involve 4 helicopters. And I see no objection to the fact that our army murdered 4 children.
erin: this blog is about many prolife issues but not about the US military.
you need to find a military blog to vent your feelings….
maybe you can focus on the taliban’s abuse and murder of women in Afghanistan
the abuse and subjucation of women in Syria, Saudi Arabia, the UE, Iran, Iraq and so forth…
oh I forgot! Feminist’s are too concerned about getting these women the right to abort. Too bad they can’t even go out to shop by themselves let alone get to a health clinic….
Patricia, if you are truly pro-life, then you’ll also care about a corrupt military institution that is killing children under the name of YOUR country.
Please, ANY military is a corrupt military in your eyes. War is terrible, Erin. That’s just what it is. People die and get permanently injured. That’s the way it is. The military has to deal with things differently than, I don’t know, blogging about it and debating our ideals. It’s reality out there. And it isn’t pretty. Get used to it.
Erin,
And I see no objection to the fact that our army murdered 4 children.
Again, terrible news.

I don’t necessarily believe that the US military is corrupt. I know the MSM would like the entire population on the face of the earth to believe that the US military is corrupt. Inept at times – yes. But the US military has done a lot of good over the years and has helped many people in many countries.
As Elizabeth pointed out, mistakes happen and in war, inevitably, civilians are killed.
Well, I guess the direct, honest answer is out of the question, so here’s a more in-depth waste of my and everyone else’s time.
The American military does not intentionally target civilians. Do civilians sometimes die as a result of what our military does? Yes. It is the goal of our military to kill civilians? No. Do our military men and women typically set out to target and murder civilians? No.
If rogues in our military do target civilians, they are not allowed to get away with it. They are put on trial for war crimes. They are jailed, or, in some cases, executed if the crimes are serious enough – and intentionally targeting and murdering civilians would be a serious crime.
Pro-abortion, American-military-hating people are interesting creatures. They delight in the intentional killing of the unborn while they pretend to be upset over the accidental killing of civilians by our military. When a missile launched or bomb dropped goes awry, when bad intel results in a strike on a civilian target, or when our enemies use civilians as human shields and in the process some of the civilians are killed, the pro-aborts shed crocodile tears over the dozen of civilians who are blown to bits. However, when 4,000 innocent unborn children in the womb are intentionally targeted for termination every day, the pro-aborts leap for joy. It’s sick. And it takes a very sick person with a very sick mind to think that like.
The purpose of the Syria attack was to close up a border crossing that jihadis (Al-Queda) have used to cross over into Iraq to fight our soldiers and to kill innocent Iraqi civilians who cooperate with the US. Al-Queda is notorious for shielding themselves with women and children.
Why was Amanda’s post deleted? It followed all the rules.
Amanda has been banned.
Oh no Carla why?
What about 4,000 babies killed everyday in the US, before they even get a chance to breathe Erin?
I agree, 4 children being accidentally killed is a huge tragedy. Be careful how you use the word murder, it has a specific meaning.
We need to look at things in perspective.
“Be careful how you use the word murder, it has a specific meaning.”
Boy, that’s advice we could use a lot around here.
The specific meaning of murder is the deliberate, premeditated taking of an innocent human life. That would include every induced abortion, surgical, chemical, or otherwise (hitting a pregnant woman in the belly with a baseball bat, etc., ad nauseam.)
I think “murder” includes the concept of illegal.
The specific meaning of murder is the deliberate, premeditated taking of an innocent human life.
Uh, no – you gotta have “illegal” in there some where, as Hal notes.
For the record, there’s nothing in the definition of murder about innocence. It has to be illegal, premeditated, and human. Nothing about innocent, and the ‘illegal’ bit is very important.
In ancient Anglo-Saxon cultures it wasn’t murder if you could compensate the family or community of the victim with their worth in gold. The more important the victim, the more gold you had to give them.
Jess, did I ever tell you about the time that I ate the six pound steak…?
