    I know this is off topic, but there are a lot of Christians who read and post here.

    Baby Kayleigh weighed just one pound when she was born last June. She is in great need of prayers so I am posting this everywhere I can.

    That Canadian situation is sickening. Yes, it's a natural result of living in the "culture of death", but it's still sickening.

    "abortion has changed the way children are looked upon in the United States and in many parts of the world. In a way, the practice has dehumanized children where they are now viewed as mere possessions, subject to disposal. There have been times in human history when children were perceived in this manner and those cultures self-destructed or are the bastions of human degradation, like China. The exact number of those aborted since 1973 is unclear and so is the exact number of children who have become victims of the philosophy related to the procedure. But those numbers and children are real."


    And those who are pro-abortion thought that legalized abortion would reduce child abuse. But their whole platform is founded upon an absence of logic, reason and rational thought.

    Happy Birthday, anyways!

    "Good News For Good Friday: Nation’s Oldest Abortion Mill To Close"

    Oakland, CA – Unable to pay rent and facing bankruptcy, the feminist-run Women’s Choice Clinic of Oakland is being forced to close after the financially-strapped State of California froze Medi-Cal payments, which comprised of 90% of the clinic’s income. It claims to be the oldest abortion clinic in the nation still in operation.

    Wonderful!!
