Jivin J’s Life Links 1-10-11

- The Telegraph-Herald has a story on the possibility of telemed abortions coming to Dubuque, IA, after the merger of Planned Parenthood affiliates. While a PP spokeswoman says no decision has been made, the T-H got its hands on a letter to PP donors which seems to indicate otherwise.
- A woman in Malaysia recently died during an abortion:
According to the daily, she had either died of excessive bleeding or from lack of oxygen during the operation.
- Singapore-based TodayOnline features an article on the rising number of abortions in China:
“The moral outrage over having a child before marriage in our society is much stronger than the shame associated with abortion,” said Ms. Zhou Anqin, the manager at a clinic in Xi’an, which performs about 60 abortions each month, mostly on students aged 24 or younger.
- The facility is 1 of 5 operated in China by Marie Stopes International, a non-profit group that runs clinics globally promoting safe abortions, HIV testing and other services. Marie Stopes frequently sees repeat customers such as Ms. Zhang Jie, 22, who recently had her 2nd abortion in as many years.In an examination room, student Ms. Nancy Yin, 20, looks away from the image on the machine: A nearly 3-month-old foetus with arms, legs, and a fluttering heartbeat. Ms. Yin and her boyfriend never used contraceptives because she “did not feel comfortable with it”….
The Chinese can be brutally frank when it comes to abortion. Beijing sociologist Li Yinhe noted that “people generally feel that before the actual birth, you don’t yet have an actual person, so we have cases of induced abortion at 7 and 8 months along…. China has absolutely no need for the so-called ‘right to life’ argument, no need to introduce ideas about abortion as murder and so on.”

The Chinese Abortion Holocaust has to be the worst destruction of human life ever. By one estimate, 13,000,000 Chinese children are killed each year. This is a terrible human tragedy and I don’t know if much can be done about it, as long as that very cruel Communist regime remains in power.
Li Yinhe says, “China has…no need to introduce ideas about abortion as murder…”
No, it’s the God-given conscience [Heb 8:10] that ‘introduces’ that truth. A perfect illustration of the need for hearts to be changed, and it is happening:
Pro-Life Message Catching on in Communist China
“China has absolutely no need for the so-called ‘right to life’ argument, no need to introduce ideas about abortion as murder and so on.”
Of all places, China is VERY much in need of the “right to life” argument. Sounds like the Chinese are just as unscientific and utilitarian in their approach as are many American pro-aborts.
Ms. Yin and her boyfriend never used contraceptives because she “did not feel comfortable with it”…. Yet, sadly, she felt “comfortable” with having her child killed.
“By one estimate, 13,000,000 Chinese children are killed each year. This is a terrible human tragedy”
And that’s the business of China. I know it’s difficult for you to understand but the Chinese are secular and do not have the same belief system as the ”pro-life” movement.
Guess again CC

Ten thousand Chinese become Christians each day!! Praise God!
“Ten thousand Chinese become Christians each day!! Praise God!”
Got a source for that?
BTW, it looks like the alleged shooter in Arizona is pro-life.

So maybe you folks can pray for him rather than his alleged victims as he might be one of yours.
CC, my friend lived in China and worked in the underground church. She told me how hungry the Chinese people are for hope after the failure of a government to provide and the lack of joy in life with no God. They accept Christ by thousands daily. This is true. I heard from someone who has been there. Despite persecution for their underground church (the only government sanctioned church is the 3 church which is NOT truly religious. they don’t even believe in God) the Church of God grows.
“This is true. I heard from someone who has been there”
Yeah, right, whatever.
CC claims:
“BTW, it looks like the alleged shooter in Arizona is pro-life.”
Wrong!
CC claims:
“And that’s the business of China. I know it’s difficult for you to understand but the Chinese are secular and do not have the same belief system as the ”pro-life” movement.”
Correct: They do not have the same belief system as pro-lifers. Says a lot for them. Maybe you ought to take up residence there and see how you like living in a system that puts government before individual rights.
CC claims:
“Yeah, right, whatever.”
You may want to check the link that was given you; that is if you really want to approach the issue with an open mind.
actually China is atheist, communist and very anti religious freedom. Not where I’d want to live! Not to mention the forced abortion and forced sterilizations!
Which is why Christianity grows!! You cannot contain the light of Christ in the darkness of China.
CC why are you saying “Yeah right whatever”? Come to my church I will introduce you personally to this person. I live right outside of Philly, PA. Look me up. She lived over in China for YEARS and just recently returned home. She can tell you all about it. I think she knows more about China than you do. Its just not what you want to hear so you act like a foolish little brat. Like a toddler having a tantrum (and you’re how old?) So be it.
Sydney,
There is a man from my church who has gone on three separate trips to China to smuggle Bibles in. The Chinese are hungry for hope and find it in God’s word.
“Jared Loughner : strongly opposes abortion, has a tea-party devotion to the Constitution, complained about the “second Constitution,” a term legal scholars sometimes use to describe the post-Civil War amendments that ended slavery, extended the right to vote and required equal protection under the law, is fiercely anti-government, just like Tim McVeigh, wants to return to the gold standard, calls teachers dirty pigs, and has Ayn Rand’s We the Living as one of his favorite books.”
From HuffPo.
So, this laundry list of stuff, and all you can see is he is “pro-life?” Really? So, he protests the fact that slavery ended, he’s an anarchist, he calls people “dirty pigs,” and clearly is mentally ill, but all you can do is say this guy “might be one of yours?” CC, I really don’t think you’re that stupid. I know you’re desperate to paint all pro-lifers as gun-wielding psychopaths, but this is really reaching, even for you. By the way, the guy who wrote this… where did he get his info? I don’t see a news article. All I see is this man’s comment.
CC, all the people who knew this guy say that he is quite leftist in his politics (at least he was at at one time). Definitely not a Tea-Partier. I saw no other information even remotely suggesting he was pro-life. You must have scourged the internet for hours until you found the the one suggestion out of the thousands out there that he was (we don’t even know where it comes from) so you could race over and post it here. Pretty pathetic.
Even if this guy is pro-life, it’s totally irrelevant to the shooting, because he targeted Giffords for completely nutty reasons of his own, having to do with conspiracy theories about vocabulary and illiteracy, as well as a general hatred of politicians, and the fact that Giffords apparently once brushed him off when he asked her a question. All that is pretty well demonstrated by the personal testimony of those who knew him.
Nothing to see here. Don’t you have anything more constructive to do with your time?
Oh wow. Now I hear they are placing the blame of this shooter on Sarah Palin. LOL! How do you arrive at this? It’s that typical Liberalism…Haven’t you heard? It’s a mental disorder! Anyone who guns down someone in a crowd is responsible for their own actions, but Palin dances to the beat of her own drum, and because she is pro-life, liberals despise her! Indeed the shootings were violent. I’ve also heard that this kid had a mental problem, but why point out that he was pro-life? Maybe he wasn’t because he just killed people!!! And there are 4000 babies murdered every day in abortion clinics. I cannot think of ANYTHING more violent. The culture of death and violence is here to stay, and the ugly root of this cancer increased when we let women legally kill their children!!!!!
One of his favorite books was Mein Kampf so there is speculation he also didn’t like her because she was Jewish. Who knows? This guy apparently had pro-communist leanings yet didn’t trust the government which seems oxymoronic to say the least. I think he was just a weirdo. He obviously has mental problems. Combine that with an evil heart and you have the perfect storm for this kind of tragedy to occur.
Hi Sydney. I hear he was also stalking her for 3 years. We don’t know what sends someone off the deep end. I remember when John Lennon was murdered and the girl from ‘My Sister Sam’ and the shooting of Ronald Regan and James Brady. Who will ever really know why these people did what they did? They were nuts. Normal folks don’t shoot people for any reason. We may disagree with them, but to pin this one on the TEA PARTY is silly and not factual.
I remember when an abortionist was gunned down and the rabid pro-aborts were already reporting that it had to be the works of a right wing nut ball. The abortionist was up to his ears from gambling debts. He was gunned down by someone he owed money to.
He was gunned down by someone he owed money to.
Heather, yes – one of those notorious right-wing, wild-eyed pro-life loan sharks.
