Abortion pictures are not pleasant to view, particularly on one’s way to Sunday morning worship service at a pro-choice church.

For the past several weeks Todd Bullis has taken his Church Project to the Custer Road United Methodist Church in Plano, Texas.

Showing the reality of abortion through abortion pictures, Todd and his team have made it their mission to educate church goers that the place where they worship condones this heinous act against God, in whose image we are made.

For all the changes 40 years can bring, the stigma associated with abortion has lingered. Terrell said many clients – not all – carry guilt and shame even though they have carefully and thoughtfully made the decision they think is best for themselves and their families….

The Abortion Care Network just concluded its annual three-day conference.

ACN is basically a club of all independent abortion clinics other than Planned Parenthood.

Pro-abortion conferences are always hush-hush. ACN didn’t even announce its own on its web page, Facebook page, or Twitter.

I only stumbled on this conference last night while perusing pro-abortion tweets, because Steph Herold, aka @IAmDrTiller, began live-tweeting from the event.

So all I have are tweets, but they’re interesting. I’ve organized the stand-outs by topic….

• A Pennsylvania couple may be in hot water after they placed their allegedly stillborn child in the trash. They’ve been charged with unlawful disposal of medical waste but they may have done something worse:
  
  According to the affidavit, [25-year-old Erin] Dougherty told police that she and [boyfriend, 31-year-old Daniel] Aratow discarded the fetus in a garbage can outside their home. Dougherty also told police that she went to a medical clinic in Englewood around April 11 and was told by a physician there that her baby had no heartbeat.Police have learned that Dougherty actually sought to terminate her pregnancy during the visit but was told the fetus appeared to be about 26 to 27 weeks old as of April 11 and was at a stage where he or she was capable of living upon birth.

The embryonic stem cell research industry received a second big blow last week when in an ABC interview actor and huge embryonic stem cell research proponent Michael J. Fox admitted escr isn’t panning out to be all he and others touted it to be in the fight against his own Parkinson’s disease and other maladies and injuries.

The first blow came six months ago when escr’s original proponent, Geron Corporation, announced it was cutting its losses and pulling out.

Fox admitted to Diane Sawyer:

by LauraLoo I’m not sure what to make of this father of 30 children – or of the 11 women who continue making babies with him. Desmond Hatchett from Knoxville, Tennessee pays about $1.50 each month from his minimum-wage job to “support” each of his 30 children.

A few months back an author named Matthew Pope asked if I would like to read the pro-life book he wrote, Emily’s Verse. I said sure.

Emily’s Verse blew me away. Its description, per Amazon, explains the concept but doesn’t do the book justice:

Follow the life of Emily as she navigates the trials and tribulations of life. This series of poems illuminates the simple beauty and pain of life as we know it.
