Abortion

Calling legal abortion “murder” when it isn’t (it is, to our shame, lawful) is to say what isn’t true, at least in a civil (not church) context.

“The new law … will go into effect January 1, unless a court overturns it. Two Christian legal organizations have already filed suit, and now the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates have joined them. …the first requirement of the law is for the pro-life centers to post a sign referring women to someplace they can obtain free or low-cost abortions.”

“Known as the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, the bill failed on Tuesday morning to receieve the necessary 60 votes to advance to a vote.” CPost

“StemExpress said it didn’t want backlash over the practice of harvesting tissue from aborted babies to detract from its other work.” WORLD

“Alabama, Louisiana and New Hampshire all have eliminated funding for the country’s leading abortion provider after the release of videos providing evidence Planned Parenthood trades in baby body parts.”

“Finally, our distinguished President, our Nobel Peace Prize Laureate has spoken out about the infamous scandal of body parts being trafficked. ‘It is infuriating and I have no patience for it,’ President Obama said in a strong show of righteous indignation.” CPost

“The legislative effort to defund Planned Parenthood failed Monday (Aug. 3) in the U.S. Senate, but pro-life advocates said they will not give up.”

Carl Trueman: I thought of this when I saw the footage of Jimmy Kimmel tearing up on his late night chat show as he told the audience of the shooting of Cecil the Lion. I wonder - did Kimmel tear up when he saw the video of the Planned Parenthood doctor talking about crushing infants as so many organ factories?
