Jivin J’s Life Links 11-30-10

- Scott Klusendorf provides a sample of how he would structure a basic pro-life seminar to help equip Christians to persuasively defend the unborn.
- Barbara Bush recently claimed that she didn’t put her miscarried child in a jar and show it to President George W. Bush when he was a teen. She claims a housekeeper did.
- In Canada, Robert Latimer has been granted full parole to return to his home. Latimer claimed his act of murdering his disabled daughter in 1993 with carbon monoxide was a mercy killing. For the last 2 years, he’d been living in a halfway house.
- Having an abortion in the United Arab Emirates can have severe consequences:BM, a Syrian, appeared on Sunday before the Abu Dhabi Criminal Court of First Instance and was charged with illegal sex, facilitating prostitution and assisting in an abortion. The court also addressed four women from Uzbekistan, who were charged with prostitution and being in the country illegally.
SD, one of the four, was accused of aborting her pregnancy and having sex with BM. She pleaded not guilty to the sex charges but admitted to being in the country illegally.
SD initially confessed to taking abortion pills and to having sex with BM, but she retracted that after the Chief Justice told her she faced stoning if she confessed. She then pleaded not guilty and said she aborted the foetus naturally.
I’m glad that Bush’s younger sibling had him there to give him/her the recognition and respect in death he/she deserved, even if his/her own mother wouldn’t. Sad.
Oh, Mr. Latimer. I wish you understood what beauty you deprived the world of. I wish you understood what a disservice you did to your daughter and to yourself.
(Also, LOVE Scott Klusendorf!)
