Reaping a Whirlwind of Death

December 2018 – Article 1: Once evil gets a foothold, it always gets worse. It’s a fulfillment of what the prophet Hosea said: “For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind” (Hosea 8:7, ESV). Pastor Charles Stanley has often described the idea of sowing this way: “You reap what you sow, more than you sow, later than you sow.” When that concept is applied to America’s rapidly growing culture of death, the results are absolutely frightening. We’re reaping escalating levels of...

Surrounded by Lions

June 2018 – Article 3: In ancient Rome, countless Christians were literally fed to lions. Today, we face a growing horde of two-legged lions out to silence—and in stands up for the Word of God. Based on what’s happening in other countries, even more dire consequences may be lurking in the shadows. Whether it’s defending innocent human life, supporting traditional marriage, or just sharing the Gospel, God haters in government, schools, court rooms and special interest groups are becoming...

Irish Rejoice over the Freedom to Kill

June 2018 – Article 2: Pro-life advocates around the globe are mourning the results of the May 25, 2018 referendum in Ireland that repealed the Eighth Amendment to the country’s constitution that currently bans abortion under almost all circumstances. Added to the constitution in 1983, the Eighth Amendment was originally passed by referendum with a sixty-seven-per-cent majority – the same percentage of voters that voted to repeal it on May 25. The vote has had a profound and surprisingly...

Surrogacy Out of Control

April 2018 – Article 3: (Note: While researching this article, Georgia Right to Life determined that surrogacy in Georgia is virtually unchecked. That issue will be discussed in depth in the next newsletter). Sometimes, what starts as a well-intentioned idea, ends up leading to an evil result. Efforts to help couples conceive children is a prime example. Last month, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee signed into law the Uniform Parentage Act, which legalizes commercializing gestational...

2018 Session: It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over

June 2018 – Article 2: The 2018 Georgia General Assembly was very busy for Georgia Right to Life (GRTL). This year the primary focus was the “Woman’s Right to Recover Act” (HB 882). This legislation was sponsored by Rep. Wes Cantrell (R-22). It would give women who have been harmed during an abortion the right to take legal action against an abortionist. Additionally, it would give a private right of action (allow women to bring a lawsuit, even though such a remedy may not be explicitly...

Using Word Games to Kill

February 2018 – Article 3: (This is the fourth of several articles dealing with protecting the elderly and infirm). Resorting to euphemisms is a time-tested, deceptive way to manipulate public opinion. Abortion is called a "choice", sexual perversion becomes “pride,” assisted suicide is "death with dignity", and genocide is "ethnic cleansing". Seeks to Define Eating Utensils as "Medical Care" Now there’s an effort to use that strategy in re-defining ordinary eating utensils as "medical...

2018 Legislative Session Opens

January 2018 – Article 2: The 2018 session of the Georgia General Assembly will begin on January 8. It involves 40 “legislative days” and is expected to end in mid- to late-March. A legislative day means a day when the assembly is actually meeting, not a calendar day, which is why it’s impossible to predict the exact day the session will end. For the second year Georgia Right to Life’s (GRTL) government affairs representative in the legislature will be Jessica DuBois, owner of...

The Indefensible Decisions Of ‘Roe’ And ‘Doe’

January 2013 marked the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Many refer to Roe v. Wade as the hallmark of abortion law. To be completely accurate, however, it was two landmark cases decided simultaneously that rule abortion law in the United States today. Roe v. Wade reached the Supreme Court on appeal in 1970. The Court delayed action on Roe and a companion case, Doe v. Bolton for a later time. On January 22, 1973 two Supreme Court decisions, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, struck down any and...

I’m A Doug Collins Reject

If Rep. Doug Collins had his way, I would have been killed. I challenge the Congressman to look me in the eye and tell me that my birth mother, who was brutally raped at knife point by a serial rapist, should have been able to abort me. I am thankful to God that this happened in 1968 in Michigan when abortion, even in the case of rape, was illegal. My mother considered a back alley abortion twice, but ultimately backed out. The fact that I am alive is because Michigan law protected me. That...

I Don’t Make Deals

I have written before about my journey to become a no exceptions prolifer. I have never shared this story publicly, but I think the time is right. In 2011, I worked very hard to make sure that our “ultrasound law” was passed in Texas. It was a good bill and I was proud to support it. It did have a rape exception, but I figured that wasn’t really a big deal since there are so few babies aborted that are conceived in rape. I mean…it’s less than 1%…let’s just work to save the 99%, right? The bill...
