Sol said: “My mother survived the...
A Valued Friend Retires
August 2018 – Article 2: Linda Powell, a dear friend and tireless advocate for the sanctity of all human life, has retired as GRTL's Treasurer, a position she has held since 2015. “I just felt it was time for me to step back a little and take some time for myself and my family,” Powell said. Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) President, Ricardo Davis, said Powell will be greatly missed: “Linda’s passion was obvious in everything she did. Her dedicated and professional attitude has had a positive...
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...
Rage To Redemption: One Man’s Perspective On Abortion
“The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships.” ~ Mother Teresa Among those who favor abortion - the deliberate killing of a preborn child – women’s rights and wellbeing typically begin and end the arguments in favor of abortion on demand. Pro-life advocates almost always ask, “What about the rights and wellbeing of the preborn children?” But there is a...
Proliferate The Pro Life Rate
“They will know we are Christians by our love.” This is one of my favorite songs to sing in Church. They will know we are Christians by our love. They will NOT know we are Christians by our apologetics. They will NOT know we are Christians by our logical proofs, as to exactly why abortion is wrong! Now these proofs are good, and these apologetics are very useful tools. They are important to have, so that we can defend what we believe in. But when there is a young, frightened mother at a stage...
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...
In It To Win It
By Steve Deace - An article in Time Magazine does about the best and most honest job of covering the current divide within the pro-life movement I have seen yet. The schism comes down to two questions: 1) Is all life sacred and worthy of protection? 2) What is the strategy to ultimately end the tragedy of child killing in America? The fact that on the 40th anniversary year of Roe v. Wade we still aren’t of one mind on the two most important questions of our movement is exactly why the killing...
Thank You, Facebook
In most pro-life circles, the topic of graphic abortion photos is controversial at best. Personally, I think that graphic images of individuals who have suffered injustice or atrocity should be handled with care and tact, but should be shown. The reason I feel they should be shown is rooted in a rich history of advocacy against evil. During the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps, Allied troops made citizens of nearby towns march through the death chambers to know what they had been...
