When Helen Thomas was 19 weeks pregnant she was told that her baby was ‘incompatible with life’ and was advised to abort, but she and her husband decided not to have an abortion. Helen spoke to Simon Smart about her reasons for not having an abortion and the remarkable story of her daughter Zoe.
An extraordinary story from The Centre for Public Christianity.
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.
It’s from the volunteer disability ministry blog for Bethlehem Baptist Church.
It has also happened in Italy and the United States. Here are the headlines for each:
Australia: Hospital kills wrong baby, aborts twin.
Italy: Italian police to investigate abortion of wrong twin
United States: Doctor loses license after aborting wrong twin
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.
I just signed a petition that is being sent to the UN in December. Read the deets below:

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.
