The murder of Dr. George Tiller presents America with another reminder of the violence that exists within our midst. This is not the way the pro-life movement wanted Tiller’s life to end. Our mission is to convince Americans of the sanctity of every human life — born and unborn. The murder of Dr. Tiller does not serve that cause.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a weekly review post; but since I’ve listened to some rather impressive things this week, I wanted to fill you in with the goods:
. Amazing Christian rap. I especially like the last track, Joyful Noise, and number seven, Hold On. Deeply and richly biblical. Powerful.A new study says some alcohol OK for pregnant women, or so says the news. Referencing “the British research,” the news video goes on to say that new research suggests that it may be OK for pregnant women “to occasionally overindulge in a night of drinking.” Apparently their tests show that a-once-in-a-while binge doesn’t hurt a fetus.
One woman off the street who also happens to be six months pregnant sounds off on the issue, after the reporter confirms that the lady believes it’s OK to have a drink every now and then while pregnant. Her reasoning? “I grew up in Europe and so they’re a little bit more lax about it over there…so it doesn’t seem like too big of a problem to me.” Let me get this straight: it’s OK to drink while pregnant because Europe is lax about it; therefore no problem. Right.
The very next interviewee is a doctor. His (professional) opinion? “There is no safe amount of alcohol during pregnancy.” But, Mr. Doctor, they’re lax about it in Europe.
The closing remarks by the reporter are telling. “Doctors say that no alcohol at all would be the recommendation…but restrictions are tough, so the occasional beer or glass of wine…every couple of weeks…probably will not hurt the fetus.” Let me get this straight: let’s disregard the people who know what they’re talking about (doctors), because, hey, restrictions are tough and we will probably not hurt our unborn child. What!
This seems to be similar to the abortionists cry that it’s a woman’s right to choose what happens to her body even if it means that the unborn child she carries dies. After all, it’s my body. I can choose. Having a baby, after all, is a restriction, and restrictions are tough.
Where is self-control and self-sacrifice and the value of life? Mothers should be pleading that others not drink while pregnant, because, “mom-to-be, there’s a baby in there!” Is it really too much of a restriction to not drink alcohol? No, but it is too much of a restriction for us humans to think of someone else besides ourselves. We got to look out for number one, right?
Sad. What are we destined for if we refuse to protect the precious and vulnerable among us, let alone the next generation?
A hospital technician in New Jersey has been charged with sexually abusing the corpse of a 92 year-old woman. The hospital issued this statement after firing the man: “This heinous crime is a travesty. We are horrified and saddened for the family of the patient…and are completely empathetic and sympathetic to them.” He’ll get 10 years in prison for desecrating human remains.
Since this is a travesty, horrifying and saddening for family and all involved, how much more should we be saddened and horrified by the heinous crime of desecrating the human startings of an unborn baby?
