Looking at Gallup over the years, opposition to abortion after six months has never dropped below 80 percent. Even at three months, the numbers are still impressive: Over 60 percent of Americans consistently oppose abortions after the first trimester, and in 2011 they rose to 71 percent.

If these were election results, you’d call it a landslide….

• The mother of a newborn child found in a sewer pipe in China allegedly alerted her landlord to the child’s presence. She claims she tried to catch the child after delivering him but he slipped into the pipe:
  

  The state-run, Hangzhou-based newspaper Dushikuaibao said police became suspicious when they found baby toys and blood-tained toilet paper in the 22-year-old woman’s rented room, in the building where Saturday’s rescue occurred in eastern China.

  The woman, whose name was not revealed in state media reports, confessed to police when they asked her to undergo a medical checkup.

  The woman told police she could not afford an abortion and secretly delivered the child Saturday afternoon in the toilet. She said she tried to catch the baby but he slipped into the sewer line and that she alerted her landlord of the trapped baby after she could not pull the child out, the state-run, Jinhua-based Zhezhong News said.

“O Holy Night” is being sung at our church this weekend, and whenever I hear Verse 3, I am overcome with simultaneous angst and joy. I am reminded of all the little babies being murdered here and around the world, and yet there is Hope. The slaughter will someday end. For a couple years during […]

• Matthew Hennessey on the unnaturalness of abortion:
  
  

  (Abortion) is a lot of things. Natural, it is not.

  Yet, somehow the politics of this have gotten all turned around. The greenies are in league with the pro-abortion people. The same ones who promote all-natural living—organic fruits, locally-grown vegetables, hormone-free milk, free-range chickens, solar panels, wind turbines, etc. — are usually the same ones who want to make sure that women everywhere have unlimited access to synthetic compounds — gemeprost, methotrexate, mifepristone, misoprostol, etc. — that cause abortions.

Last year I posted a “Sunday quote” series during the month of December on the fascinating abolitionist history behind some of our most beloved Christmas hymns. Pro-lifers identify closely with those 150 years ago who fought to free another oppressed class of people. I’d like to repeat that series, beginning today with “O Holy Night.” […]
