58 Million unborn babies have been legally slaughtered in the 42 years since Roe v. Wade. Please pray for those who are braving the weather to protest abortion in D.C. today, especially my Dearest who has a cold, but went anyway. I’m hoping he doesn’t come home with pneumonia.
The Democrats’ two-faced hypocrisy was on display this week, as Obama claimed in the SOTU that the lives of all children matter. Obama has promised to veto a ban on abortion after 20 weeks, because unborn children feel intense pain as they are poisoned and/or dismembered (literally torn limb from limb) to death.
The latest Quinnipiac poll found that the vast majority of Americans are very far to the right of Obama and the Democrats on abortion.
- 84% believe there should be significant restrictions and safe guards, including limits to within the first three months of pregnancy, allowed only in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother, or never permitted.
- 84% believe that laws can exist which would protect, both the health and well-being of a woman and the rights of the unborn.
- 78% support requiring parental notification before a minor can obtain an abortion.
- 68% oppose taxpayer funding of abortion.
- 59% believe abortion does a woman more harm than good in the long run.
- 57% support the conscience rights of health professionals to refuse to participate in or refer patients for abortions.
As noted in the graphic, the Democrat Party Platform on Abortion specifically rejects any and all restrictions, while strongly supporting forcing taxpayers to finance abortions regardless of their religious or conscience objections to the procedure.
About those late term abortions
Whenever we try to talk about how late abortions are excruciatingly painful for the unborn, Democrats pull long faces and beat their breasts about fetal abnormalities and maternal health. But a recent study of why women chose to have late term abortions demonstrated the Democrats’ reasons are mosly political posturing and b.s.
The real reasons that most women choose a late abortion are social – e.g., unemployment, relationship instability, money problems. In addition, the decision to abort did not remedy these problems, but in many cases made them worse.

My little grandson, who will be two weeks old tomorrow, was definitely a surprise. His mother (my daughter) had absolutely no intentions of having children; it was simply not part of her life plan. The butchers at Planned Parenthood would gladly have sliced and diced my grandson and flushed him down the drain. Luckily for Kiran, his mother knew that killing innocent human beings is a major no-no. And luckily for both of them (and all of us), once my daughter realized there was a little surprise growing inside of her, her entire attitude changed. Now she loves her little boy just as devotedly as any mother ever loved her child.

Such a blessing, Bob! We’re so happy for you all. Gruntessa and I were just talking about regrets we have for not being more open to children early in our marriage. Young people all think they know everything, and only find out different much later. But I guess we’re all guilty, and God is forgiving, thankfully. Thanks for the news!
