Defending Innocent Children, Or Politicians?

Yes, some candidates and organizations are more pro-life than others. Some don’t value pre-born children based on how they were conceived. This is not a political game for me. I literally owe my birth to the MI law which protected me-- legislators who recognized that mine was a life worth saving, even in the case of rape. My birthmother tried to kill me by two illegal abortions. Today, we’re both thankful we were both protected from such horror. Michigan has never had a rape exception and has...

Choose Life Tags: A Pro-Life Message On The Go

Tiny billboards all across Georgia proclaim “Choose Life.” Yes, tiny.  And no, they are not up in the treetops along the Interstates or wedged between downtown buildings.  They are on the bumpers of almost 4000 cars. They are Choose Life license plates. Since 2007 pro-life Georgians have paid a bit extra to spread this message of life as they drive. In doing so, they also have contributed more than $300,000 to Georgia pregnancy centers where over 18,000 women have chosen adoption or parenting...

Breaking the Facade

The Girl Scouts…My initial thoughts are of my own few years in the Scouts as a young girl. Selling cookies, earning badges, going to campouts, reading Bible stories around a camp fire, spending precious time with my mother who worked 3 jobs and yet still had time for every scouting event. Those memories are probably some of the most precious that I carry with me from my childhood. I’m certain that for most Americans, this warm, fuzzy, sentimental reaction is pretty standard when considering...

The Most Dangerous Place On Earth

During the Christmas break I happened to see a terrifying program on Animal Planet called “Rattlesnake Republic.” I don’t know why I was urged to watch such tripe, but I did and on the program I saw some demented creature get in a coffin and have dozens of rattlesnakes piled on top of him. Horror of horrors! I thought, “That coffin full of rattlesnakes must be the most dangerous place on earth.” What would be the most dangerous place to you? After the horrific slaughter of the precious,...

Believing Comes By Hearing

As Christians and pro-lifers, we possess valuable, powerful, life-saving knowledge. And I was struck last week with the responsibility we have as stewards of truth in a dark, broken world. On Monday, we were doing our Pillars of Personhood outreach on Toccoa Falls College campus – our first religious institution we had done an outreach at. When we hit campus that morning, things were going as usual – general interest and mild apprehension from students at the sight of a large display that...
