Lifenews.com is running a story that over 50% of Americans want all or most abortions made illegal. “A new Gallup poll finds a majority of Americans oppose all or most abortions even though some Americans who technically take a pro-life position opposing abortion wrongly think they are “pro-choice” on abortion.”

Take a moment to read, then lets go out and convince the other 45% that killing a baby is wrong and should be made illegal under all circumstances.

 Why would think abortion is ever an okay thing to do to a baby?

Lifenews.com brings Kermit Gosnell into the light in this story.….but the light is very dim. Read and find out about his dark world. Kermit Gosnell is now in prison for killing seven babies after birth and allowing an overmedicated woman to die in his dirty Philadelphia abortion clinic. Do folks really believe legal abortion is safe with abortionist like this running clinics in the country?

“Bioethics watchdog Wesley Smith noticed a recent polling question from Gallup noting that one-third of all Americans think animals should have the same rights as human beings. This comes at the same time that XX% of Americans think unborn babies should have no rights at all…….” Read this article of interest from Lifenews.com.

A study published last week in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrates widespread discriminatory denial of life-preserving medical treatment to premature infants based on fear that if assisted to live they might have disabilities – in defiance of protective federal law. It provided a startling snapshot into the treatment of very premature infants. Read the entire article at Lifenews.com

To my own mother I owe everything. She was and is a great Mother. To my wife, who was is  a great Mother to all three of my children.

You should celebrate your Mother, even if things didn’t  or aren’t going so great with her! She, at the very least carried you for nine months or so and gave birth to you. You should be eternally grateful that you are not among the 60 million babies, that haven’t made it that far.

Have a great Mother’s Day and thank God that you are here, living and breathing on earth because your Mother chose to give birth to you.

Mike
