It is commentary. Liberal commentary.
Last Friday HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of young, peaceful protesters marched along Pennsylvania Ave in Washington DC protesting the law that caused the loss of a generation. Hundreds of Thousands! The liberal media did not even mention the event. Not a peep. Our local newspaper showed a picture, on page 10, of a counter demonstrator with a sign, "Keep Abortion Legal" and asserted most people in the United States support abortion. This filtered information is not news it is propaganda for a liberal agenda. I have recently realized it doesn't matter that much anyway. Last week, I sent quotes of Margret Sanger's printed words to people on my email list. (Margret Sanger is the founder of Planed Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the world.) Her views are revolting and yet she is championed as a hero. She writes blacks are inferior, having more than 5 children is an abomination, Jews should be exterminated etc. I didn't make up her words I forwarded them. The response from pro-abortion correspondents was enlightening, "Please do not send me this kind of information ever again." "You have too much time on your hands."... that is when the realization occurred to me. People that are so offend and disgusted by the truth, know the truth. They know it is a baby and not tissue. They know abortion is killing life. But it doesn't matter that they know it, which is why those pictures of the massacres of the innocents doesn't stop the murder, they just don't want to see or hear or think about these things! It is not their minds that need educating, it is their hearts that need softening, and it is their CHOICE to live as they wish. "It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish." are the words from Mother Teresa.
I am pro LIFE.
Bravo!
ReplyDeletei dont know of any impartial press these days...for the right or the left...there is much more opinion these days than news....
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Brian Miller, it is mostly opinion.
Deleteyou are so right. and I hate it when they call themselves the mainstream media...they do not speak for the mainstream of America.
ReplyDeleteDebbi
What I'd really like to know, is when do the BABIES get a say in whether they are allowed to live, or forced to die? By the way, I commend you for your bravery in being willing to put this all out there!
ReplyDeleteAmen!
ReplyDeleteActually, the rallies got a lot of press play here where I live. Maybe it's the population?
ReplyDeleteExcellent post!
ReplyDeleteAmen! Those people who pretend they don't know, need to watch "Silent Scream" on Youtube to open their eyes.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all my heart. I am surprised when in conversation people do not truly understand Roe vs. wade. That lawyers went and found someone that they could use. That she in fact did not have an abortion and her son is alive today. That after working in an abortion clinic she has changed her views and is a fighter for Pro Life and wishes she could change the laws. Every baby should have a chance. Adoption is a wonderful way of giving a child a chance when someone might no be ready to have a child...I am a product of adoption and thank God that my life was not ended.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post
I am pro life. I believe our willingness to kill the innocent is the foundation of everything that doesn't work in this nations. It's a slippery slope for a nation that doesn't care for life. I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteSpeak on sis.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Annmarie. I often look at my 18 yr. old Ellen who is more like a 12 yr. old. I was 40 when I had her, a surprise baby. So many women would have thought it was too wrong to have that child when there were already 5 babies born to me. She is a girl with challenges...that we didn't know till after she was born. Again, too many would have surely stated another reason to not have gone through with the pregnancy. Life has not been easy. BUT, I would never say that she shouldn't have been. God has plans or that girl and we aim to see them through all the way...and we will pursue joy in the jorney =)
ReplyDeleteI applaud your courage and your love for your daughter.
DeleteA very sad commentary.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who struggled for YEARS to have a baby, I can never understand how someone can choose to just take away such precious life. There are so many couples who would give anything to have that baby that the pro-abortion individual doesn't want.
ReplyDeleteAmen...I don't care if I offend the other side by saying the truth. At least when I die, I can look at God and say that I defended the unborn. Let's not forget they have no VOICE. I also pray for the people involved with abortions, they need our prayers. And we wonder why our world is so disconnected when we place no value on life. I keep telling my husband, that I feel like I have fallen down the rabbit hole, like Alice in Wonderland, and nothing is making sense. Thank you for posting this.
ReplyDeleteHow tragic the lives we've lost!!! I used to do candle lit marches around a hospital that did abortions, as a child with my mom. It breaks my heart that pro-choice people feel that destroying a life will further theirs. It's so backwards. How do they know this child couldn't totally make their lives fulfilled? Or someone else? AND maybe cure cancer?! Praying for the poor children who will lose this fight and for the poor mothers who unfortunately don't know any better.
ReplyDeleteAmen! The media is, indeed, an extremely dangerous entity and most certainly, unabashedly, liberal. They should be ashamed of how they are dragging our country and our beliefs through the mud.
ReplyDeletePRO LIFE...yes, that's the words we need to share to the world!
ReplyDeleteI'm vegan,for me ALL life is precious.
ReplyDeleteJane x
i appreciate your passion!
ReplyDeletePRO-LIFE and proud of it. One of our congressmen and his wife terminated a pregnancy because " the baby was going to have spina-bifida." My son, a spina bifida child was going to a junior college at the time. He is the light of our lives and we love him. He is a joy to be around and finally has a good job and lives independently. The bad part is he lives 600 miles away.
ReplyDeleteAmen! I couldn't agree more. In fact, please, if you have time, stop by my blog today. Great minds think alike. I wrote about the EXACT SAME THING. Over half a million people march in support of those who cannot speak for themselves and in our local paper, there was one small photo (didn't show the crowds) and a caption. That was it. Of course the anti-gun rally the next day that only had about 5,000 made front page coverage with a huge article. So very sad. :-( But, the amount of young people who went to the march is encouraging. The media won't be able to silence them as they become of age! God bless you, friend.
ReplyDeleteWe have a school up the road that puts out flags once a year for each child killed by an abortion. There are always a lot of flags. :(
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder why the people who can so easily end the lives of their children do not practice
ReplyDeletestricter birth control.It is readily available for the asking..in our state, the health department will give,,,free of charge...a paper sack full of condoms.I am a Christian mother, grandmother and great grandmother, and I am pro life...All babies are precious. Our nation as a whole needs to turn back to God! Thank you for writing this post, and just keep on!!!
Amen! Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteI'm pro choice, which shouldn't be interpreted as pro abortion. Only a demented person would be pro abortion. But I really think the Government has no business in a matter best left to a woman, her family and her religion. How interesting that Republicans and Conservatives claim to champion small government but they would place the Federal Government in everyone's bedroom.
ReplyDeleteThe Washington march was carried here on our local news.
I love everything about this post!
ReplyDeleteMother Teresa was right. Thank you for this post.
ReplyDeleteThe "mainstream" media is pathetic these days! They report nothing of significance. But then again, what do you expect when people watch garbage like the kardasians, teenage and pregnant or jersey shore? They can tell you who won dancing with the stars every season but have NO IDEA who the last 10 American Presidents are.
ReplyDeleteKEEP SHARING that information!!! I send my mom stuff I think is important and she asked me to stop but she'll forward those silly "reply back" emails. I personally prefer to live with my head up not burried in the sand!
Amen!!
ReplyDeleteMay God forgive the common senseless, possibly brain damaged individuals who for whatever reason could convince themselves that murder of our most fragile and innocent should not only be acceptable but glorified, for they know not what they do, or even worse.....They do. God forgive.
ReplyDeleteAnnmarie,
ReplyDeleteI admire your passion. & say Amen!
Pat
I agree 100% with this post! There is NO reason that abortion should be okay. A lot of people use the argument of rape victims not wanting to continue their pregnancy, but lets be honest here. How many of the thousands of abortions performed are rape victims? The majority of people seeking abortion are NOT victims of anything but their own lack of responsibility. If you don't want to risk getting pregnant, don't have sex. If you "must" have sex, use birth control. There are so many more options than simply killing an innocent child.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post. Abortion solves nothing, and turns hearts to stone. I "choose" a tender heart, with compassion for mother AND child.
ReplyDeleteI hear your brave words and I agree wholeheartedly! Praying with you for the softening of hearts today.
ReplyDeleteI did not hear abou tany of this either. I wonder if any of these protests really matter or have any effect at all. I have recently heard about petitions. If a petition gets a certain amount of signatures, then the White House has to look at it. But I can't remember the number it must be.
ReplyDeleteSo am I. New media must have been covering Obama's golf game on that day.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are saying but things aren't always black and white and sometimes there is a place for abortion. My sister was pregnant with twins and through tragedy miscarried one of them. Tests showed huge abnormalities with the remaining twin and she already had two children to care for and give her time to so was offered the chance to abort the remaining baby as it was not forming correctly. She did not do this lightly and it took her a long time to get over it but I fully supported her decision in doing what she thought was best for the unborn infant which would have ended up ridiculed in this society and also have taken much of her time and love away form her other two toddlers.
ReplyDeleteI feel for those women who have had abortions and know the emotional damage it leaves them with. I pray for them. I am unabashedly pro life.
ReplyDeleteThe media have dropped the ball entirely. It's now become propaganda for whatever view they want to push. So sad for our nation...
ReplyDeleteI saw this ad nausem on tv. I don't know what you were watching.
ReplyDeleteIt coincided with roe v wade anniversary.
Diane Sawyer even talked about it on the evening news.
My brother in laws were at this march.
ReplyDeleteHere, here!!
ReplyDeleteAs am I.
ReplyDelete=)
Pro-life here too!! Most people don't even know that the founder of Planned Parenthood was a total racist and yet we support that organization with tax dollars. I'm not super conservative, especially when it comes to economics, but when it comes to life, I am. Thanks for this post!

ReplyDeleteblessings,

I couldn't agree more - your post said it all.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I am Pro life and appalled and revolted by Margret Sangers' beliefs....they are horrid and I encourage anyone who is not aware of her words, to please educate yourself....as hard as it will be to read, you may at least see where some of the push for the murdering of innocent babies comes from.
ReplyDeleteHi Annmarie,
ReplyDeleteI fully support your courage, please don't give up.
Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Pro-Life, definitely!
ReplyDeleteabortion/murder...there are so many misguided.
Margaret Sanger lived in a different time and many, many people in this country were completely and unabashedly racist. It took many years after Sanger before equal rights were given to African Americans. Do you not remember Selma, Alabama, Rosa Parks, Martin L. King, Little Rock, the KKK.....they were all happening during my lifetime and I am only 67. I am not defending Sanger and certainly not any of the people who were so blatantly racist, I just wanted to point out that in this regard Sanger's racism was indicative of the time.
ReplyDeleteI also would like to point out that Sanger's position on abortion came about after much exposure to women's back alley abortions performed in unsterile conditions by charlatans and quacks. And in many of these abortions not only did the baby die, but the mother did too. Also in those days, many women had baby after baby after baby and were absolutely worn out before their time due to so many pregnancies and births, to say nothing of raising large families in poverty. Those are the people Sanger was trying to protect. She wasn't a wild-eyed crazed radical she was a nurse (I believe) who had seen to much death and pain in a society where women had no other recourse. It was, indeed, a different time. And that needs to be kept in mind when discussing Sanger. She was trying to keep people alive!
Sanger's entire focus was on the extermination of the "inferior" races. She had no desire to help poor women. I too am old enough to remember all of the stated excuses in the above comment. Because it was a different time does not make it right. Babies are still dying and it is an abomination to the Lord. We will be held accountable before the Lord on Judgement Day for it too.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be in Washington so badly but life circumstances did not allow me to do so.
Please read the following information taken from Wikipedia on Margaret Sanger. I'm afraid you have been misinformed on what Sanger did and believed and what she promoted.
DeleteRACE
Sanger believed that lighter-skinned races were superior to darker-skinned races, but would not tolerate bigotry among her staff, nor any refusal to work within interracial projects.[94] Her contemporaries in the African-American community supported her efforts. In 1929, James H. Hubert, a black social worker and leader of New York's Urban League, asked Sanger to open a clinic in Harlem.[95] Sanger secured funding from the Julius Rosenwald Fund and opened the clinic, staffed with African-American doctors, in 1930. The clinic was directed by a 15-member advisory board consisting of African-American doctors, nurses, clergy, journalists, and social workers. The clinic was publicized in the African-American press and African-American churches, and received the approval of W. E. B. Du Bois, founder of the NAACP.[96] Sanger's work with minorities earned praise from Martin Luther King, Jr., in his 1966 acceptance speech for the Margaret Sanger award.[97]
From 1939 to 1942 Sanger was an honorary delegate of the Birth Control Federation of America, which included a supervisory role — alongside Mary Lasker and Clarence Gamble — in the Negro Project, an effort to deliver birth control to poor African Americans.[98] Sanger wanted the Negro Project to include black ministers in leadership roles, but other supervisors did not. To emphasize the benefits of involving black community leaders, she wrote to Gamble "we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members." This quote has been mistakenly used by Angela Davis, to support her claims that Sanger wanted to exterminate black people.[99] However, New York University's Margaret Sanger Papers Project, clarifies that Sanger, in writing that letter, "recognized that elements within the black community might mistakenly associate the Negro Project with racist sterilization campaigns in the Jim Crow South, unless clergy and other community leaders spread the word that the Project had a humanitarian aim."[100]
ABORTION
Sanger's family planning advocacy always focused on contraception, rather than abortion.[106][note 10] It was not until the mid-1960s, after Sanger's death, that the reproductive rights movement expanded its scope to include abortion rights as well as contraception.[note 11]Sanger was opposed to abortions, both because they were dangerous for the mother in the early 20th century and because she believed that life should not be terminated after conception. In her book Woman and the New Race, she wrote, "while there are cases where even the law recognizes an abortion as justifiable if recommended by a physician, I assert that the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed in America each year are a disgrace to civilization."[109]
Historian Rodger Streitmatter concluded that Sanger's opposition to abortion stemmed from concerns for the dangers to the mother, rather than moral concerns.[110] However, in her 1938 autobiography, Sanger noted that her opposition to abortion was based on the taking of life: "[In 1916] we explained what contraception was; that abortion was the wrong way no matter how early it was performed it was taking life; that contraception was the better way, the safer way—it took a little time, a little trouble, but was well worth while in the long run, because life had not yet begun."[111]
And in her book Family Limitation, Sanger wrote that "no one can doubt that there are times when an abortion is justifiable but they will become unnecessary when care is taken to prevent conception. This is the only cure for abortions."[112]
I applaud you for writing this Annmarie, if only there were more families out there that taught their young that abstinence is okay, and that you don't have to give into peer pressure. I have a son who is just about 18, and I even as a mother of been unabashedly blunt with him. Why can't all parents do this and save their children the heartache of making their life so tough before it has really begun.
ReplyDeleteI do think that there is a place for abortion, but only in severe circumstances where it could harm the mother or if the woman has been raped. I can't see a woman having to go through 9 months of pain,suffering and constant reminder of that day. I know I may be the black sheep out on this, but until that has happened to you, you really don't know how you are going to feel.
I have taught both of my children that their time will come, but that as a child, they should be able to enjoy that time being a child. Because with a pregnancy also comes all the responsibilities of being an adult.
And to Mellodee above, but I'm sorry, if you ever did any real research on Margaret Sanger, you wouldn't be saying what you are saying, the woman was a racist first and foremost. Her only thought was the extermination of any inferior race. She was the "Hitler" of our gender. And she did it right under the noses of the American people. I would never support Planned Parenthood, ever. And I think it is a travesty that our tax dollars goes to such an evil entity.
Paula, you might want to reconsider your position on Sanger. I believe you have been misinformed. Here is a portion of Wikipedia's entry on Sanger. And before you comment on "real research", I have read much about Sanger over the years and what Wikipedia says pretty much agrees with what I recall.
DeletePlease read my response above to Gramma 2 Many. This is factual information on what Sanger did and believed and what she promoted.
Taken from a letter she wrote, these are her own words.
Deletehttp://www.nyu.edu/projects/sanger/webedition/app/documents/show.php?sangerDoc=238946.xml
Birth Control propaganda is thus the entering wedge for the Eugenic educator. In answering the needs of these thousands upon thousands of submerged mothers, it is possible to use this interest as the foundation for education in prophylaxis, sexual hygiene, and infant welfare. The potential mother is to be shown that maternity need not be slavery but the most effective avenue toward self-development and self-realization. -Upon this basis only may we improve the quality of the race.-
As an advocate of Birth Control, I wish to take advantage of the present opportunity to point out that the unbalance between the birth rate of the "unfit" and the "fit", admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these two classes. In this matter, the example of the inferior classes, the fertility of the feeble-minded, the mentally defective, the poverty-stricken classes, should not be held up for emulation to the mentally and physically fit though less fertile parents of the educated and well-to-do classes. On the contrary, the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.
You are so right

Life is a crusade worth fighting for. I suppose I used to be pro-choice...until I grew a few babies inside myself with the help of the Master. And from that moment on..there was just no going back. So I do believe there is much hope to change minds...especially the young ones that haven't been able to experience this miracle yet. That miracle is what changes things!
ReplyDeleteyay for life!!!
ReplyDeleteawesome post Mom
"the truth will set you free."
Amen!
ReplyDeleteI never said I supported Sanger's positions completely, but I don't happen to believe she was evil. She was a product of her time and her upbringing just as we all are. And the by product of her efforts opened the door to safer care for women. Isn't that pro-life too?
ReplyDeleteAny life is worth fighting for, most especially that of a child who still cannot fend for himself.
ReplyDeleteA young boy in our church saw a bumper sticker that read "Keep abortion safe". He turned to his mama and said "safe for who, mama? Doesn't the baby always die?" Words to shock anyone out of their complacent view of abortion.
ReplyDeleteWell said! I agree with you...I am also PRO LIFE.
ReplyDeleteI recall hearing a brief snippet of a news story on this the other week. Definitely agreed that this viewpoint is shown far less than the counter view, fluctuating in severity on where you live. "A person's a person no matter how small" - Dr. Suess
ReplyDeleteJust as God brought judgment (destruction and captivity by the brutal Assyrians in the 8th(?) century BC) upon Israel for Israel's turning from worshiping God to idol worship and child sacrifice, I believe God is bringing judgment upon America for the same reasons. I pray that Americans will turn back to God, in whom our founders trusted, and under whom they established our government. Abortion is analogous to child sacrifice.
