Many Australian readers would be familiar with the tragic news of two twin babies being killed recently in a Melbourne hospital mix-up. Devastating. Below is an extract from an article that John Piper linked to in this tweet.
Every headline is mistaken. There is no ‘wrong’ twin in any of these circumstances. Only helpless unborn babies, every one of them.
The only reason any of these babies was chosen to be aborted was because of potential disabling conditions.
The answer isn’t better medical tests or more specific hospital guidelines, but changed hearts that rush to help mothers and babies rather than destroy them.
The video below is heartbreaking. It reveals the extent of the 2008 abortion bill in Victorian parliament (Australia). The truth behind the law is shocking. Some have suggested that Victoria now have the harshest abortion laws in the West! An election is coming up, so if you’re Victorian, make your vote count! Abortion is a touchy subject, if it’s particularly relevant to you right now – maybe go check out this useful site.
Tonight I heard a moving story on the radio about a woman who survived an attempted abortion by her biological mother 33 years ago. She survived. She has an incredible story. Her name is Melissa Ohden. Read about her story: www.melissaohden.com
Lots of friends, “friends” from facebook and randoms from google stumble upon my blog each day. If you are considering having an abortion, can I urge you to spend 10 minutes finding out more about Melissa’s story. Please don’t have an abortion.
I’m not a Roman Catholic. I think that they get some serious stuff wrong (read about it here). BUT I agree with their regard for human life and the rights of unborn children.
This video gives an historic look at the slew of high-profile events which largely kept the public’s eye off the Supreme Court’s tragic rulings in Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton.
The Australian Government is handing out cash for Christmas. Rowan and a bunch of others at college have a brilliant idea on how to use this money. Watch this appeal from the Moore College Student body to give to women struggling with abortion.
I hate abortion. And so I am encouraged by the work of Christian Pastor John Piper in defending the rights of the unborn. Likewise the Abort73 website is doing a great job in standing up for the helpless. In Victoria, some changes to decriminalise abortion have been passed through the Lower House, but still need to be passed through the Upper House. It’s not too late to act! Below are two incredible videos from a speech given by a survivor of abortion. Take 15 minutes to watch. Then pray and act.
Gianna Jessen Abortion Survivor in Australia Part 1:
“There is abundant medical evidence that life begins at fertilization, so much so that even the abortion industry cannot deny the claim…” WATCH THIS VIDEO – it isn’t graphic – it simply shows some statistics and quotes to back up the above claim. My abhorrence of abortion is increasing.
“Every abortion kills one of the most helpless members of the human community.” Will you help the helpless?
