[cross-post from Lost Innocents] It’s standard practice in the United States (I can’t speak for other countries, but I assume most of the West is similar) to wait to announce a pregnancy until you have reached 12-13 weeks, i.e. the end of the first trimester. This is so ubiquitous that it’s rarely questioned. Since a … Continue reading Delaying Pregnancy Announcements

March for Life
I'm thinking about everyone at the March for Life today. I've never been able to go, but I would have liked to. We were within striking distance of D.C. when we lived in NEPA, but I was working full-time at a hospital in Scranton and it just wasn't possible. Now we're very far away. I … Continue reading March for Life
Logic is out of fashion
When did people stop thinking? "Logic!" said the Professor half to himself. "Why don't they teach logic at these schools? - C. S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe I have a serious beef with a current fashion in arguments. It goes like this: Person 1: I support A. Person 2: Then you … Continue reading Logic is out of fashion
"Sevices…are temporarily slowed."
You go downtown and see a business with a sign on the front door: "Due to plumbing issues, business temporarily closed." This sort of thing happens all the time. Now, if the sign had read, "Due to plumbing issues, business temporarily slowed," you'd look around for the cameras, sure you were being filmed for a … Continue reading "Sevices…are temporarily slowed."
Sometimes, someone makes a comment that just makes everything seem worthwhile: "I am 11 weeks pregnant and went through a period of contemplating terminating the pregnancy as the father and were both fearful of how we would financially support another child (as we both have one child each from previous relationships). Running across this site … Continue reading
The Image and Likeness of God
We were created in the image and likeness of God. Satan hates God. Satan hates us. He hates the image of God in us. That's why he does anything he can to destroy our knowledge that we are created this way. For instance: 1. Proponents of evolution (macro-evolution) try to teach that we are all … Continue reading The Image and Likeness of God
Republican Senator Mary Lazich is NOT afraid of TRUTH
Interesting doings on the floor of the Wisconsin State Senate while debating the passage of senate bill 206 requiring ultrasounds be performed and shown to the patient before every abortion. After Democratic Senator Kathleen Vinehout does her best to dissent, Republican Senator Mary Lazich weighs in. Then all hell breaks loose. Video at bottom of … Continue reading Republican Senator Mary Lazich is NOT afraid of TRUTH
Quite Possibly the Worst President Ever
[Life Site News] President Obama took a combative stance during his speech to Planned Parenthood today, pledging his unconditional support to the abortion giant, and, at one point, taking a swipe at pro-life activists who oppose the organization. “No matter how great the challenge, no matter how fierce the opposition, there’s one thing that the … Continue reading Quite Possibly the Worst President Ever
Gosnell’s Sacred Cow
I have gone back and forth about writing a post on the Gosnell atrocities. I start, then stop, can't figure out what to say. What can you say about something so absolutely horrific? It's not just the facts of the case that are so terrible. It's all the implications. And it's not just the implications, … Continue reading Gosnell’s Sacred Cow
Love, Forgiveness, Compassion
I recently read an article by a pro-life source arguing that they weren't seeking to jail post-abortive mothers. They said that abortion produced two victims [I would argue that it produces many more than two, but more on that below.] and they had no wish to punish women who were victimized by abortion. Well and … Continue reading Love, Forgiveness, Compassion
