I will make my post a bit more succinct this time, just to inform of a few interesting developments.
Gallup has recently released numbers on the issue of how the American public feel about abortion: should it be totally illegal 20%, totally legal 32%, legal under some conditions (usually cited as rape, incest, mother’s life in danger) 48%; Identify as pro-choice 49%, pro-life 47%…error bars not cited…so basically 48/48… (note that the numbers were 46/46 in 2002, and that pro-choice and pro-life have both varied up and down 41-51% over the last 20 years, only to wind up with identification unchanged at present…although the definitions and issues over 20 years have surely changed). Also note that from 4-8 people out of 100 just don’t know how they identify…. what if we could bring many of them to the pro-life side….? (Can I here “activism, outreach, and education”??)
Pennsylvania Court of Appeals has refused an appeal by 12 states to prevent Biden from expanding abortion at home and abroad by executive order. Ohio University is sponsoring a “sex week” during which students are asked to “thank abortion providers.”
Fox news is reporting that the NIH is planning to spend $88 million in 2022 (in just this one year) on research using aborted fetal tissues. Approximately $21 million has already been provided by the NIAID which is run by Anthony Fauci. I have written some on this topic in past posts. Federal law prohibits the sale or trafficking in fetal tissues, but illegal activities are known (and Planned Parenthood has been a big player). Huge political contributions and a pro-abortion attitude at high levels of government have insured that there has been no prosecution. I do not have space here to document those statements, but I have written on them in previous posts and in my book. As horrifying as this is to many, it is the tip of the iceberg and the stuff of science fiction. The Democrat majority US Senate has refused to ban human-animal hybrid experiments. For those wishing to read on I supply the links below: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fauci-nih-funding-fetal-tissue-studies and https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pittsburgh-fetal-tissue-project and https://www.foxnews.com/us/planned-parenthood-tissue-procurer-abortion-clinic-testimony and https://www.foxnews.com/politics/unsealed-invoices-planned-parenthood-daleiden-25k Do you want to read about a heart harvested from an aborted baby transplanted into a rat…want to see it beating?
An organization called NARAL has a web site worth visiting. https://www.prochoiceamerica.org/ It advocates unrestricted and unregulated access to abortion, shamelessly advocating abortion as family planning and birth control and a woman’s right to choose…. choose between abortion and no other option. What choice is that ?! However, it is so wrapped up in sugar and love as to make the uninformed person want to sign up right away. The pro-abortion faction is very well funded with the best of advertising and graphic artists that money can buy.
So, I ask the reader, where do you stand… will you be as committed as they are, with the meager financial resources we in the pro-life movement have? Can you spare some of your time for activism, to stand and be counted, to donate a few dollars from time to time to support your local pregnancy resource centers, to support https://LifeFirst.org and https://abortionsurvivors.org and other such organizations which stand on the front line?
One can see that the issues are grave, and we are all needed to be in the fray “with both feet.” Legalisms are one thing, but we have seen in the above links that laws are not enforced by the highest authorities in government if they support a position contrary to the law (and I have written much on how this is wrapped up in political power and self-enrichment). It is up to us to change the hearts and minds of the public through activism and education, and by providing women in need with everything they need to choose life for their baby. And, every last one of us is important to that cause.
