Jeff from Chicago Pro-Life Activist has put together two video montages, 4-6 minutes each, of highlights from the Aurora City Council meeting on September 11 concerning Planned Parenthood's attempted sneak into the community.
The montages include testimony from both pro-lifers and pro-aborts. In video II you'll start to hear chatter for and against a parental notification ordinance now being proposed in Aurora, a positive outcome of this mess.
Jeff did a great job pulling from 3 hours of video. You will see that the pro-lifers testifying were articulate, sensible, respectful - and adamant.

Bam, right there!

Posted by: prettyinpink at September 13, 2007 1:14 PMOn another post Laura posted some statistics on children in the household/how they are declining/and how there are more (?) childless homes than child homes. The articles posted were based on a study from the National Marriage Project.

I will leave the reading to anyone interested. This project is a highly respected legitamit study and the stats she posted were accurate. I do suggest reading the entire study to fully understand the meaning. (I've read it a few times....whew!)
I'm posting this here because the original thread has fallen off the main page and I can't remember which one it was on.... ;-)

I can't imagine what you want me/us to say...it's awful. There's not one redeeming factor as far as I can see. Abort, Abort here. Abort, Abort there.
Here Abort, There abort...everywhere abort, abort!
How can I comment on each idea individually. They are all bad...Spreading this evil any further than it already is, is just sickening.
Maybe I'm missing something?
Posted by: mk at September 13, 2007 5:23 PMThey are basically saying health/life, and rape are exceptions (which are expected if they are going to make stances on it)
But also read the article under the "imprisonment." Therein lies the ambiguity. What do you think they really mean when they say that?

The unborn don't care. There is no "right" or not for them in that way. "Other people" are thinking and feeling, and the unborn here are not.
Also, when a pregnancy is wanted or unwanted, it's not because it's "right" or not for the unborn. There is no such perception on their part. The perception is on the part of the pregnant woman, first and foremose. And - other people may have their opinion about it, but the decision about the pregnancy is made on the basis of the desire and valuation of the woman or the couple.
