Blind_Mule, what a nice story. Thanks for posting it, esp. today. And congrats on 27 years of marriage!

Happy birthday (and happy early birthday) to englishqueen01 and Rusty!

Delighted to hear that abortion survivor Gianna Jessen spoke at the San Francisco march this year. What a beautiful young woman–in every sense of the word.

This is a prayer devotion that many of us Catholics do.
For every full year that it is said daily, an unborn child in
danger of being aborted, is rescued.
It was given to me during my 2nd pilgimage to Medjugorje. http://medjugorje.hr.nt4.ims.hr/

Jesus, Mary & St.Joseph
I love you very much
I beg you to spare the life
of the Unborn child
I have spiritually adopted
who is in danger of an abortion.
Amen, Amen.

There’s no reason to have an abortion debate in this thread. Mrs. Malkin’s post wasn’t a comment on abortion politics or policy. It was meant to raise awareness of the march. I have no beef with that. (Especially since none of the roads on my bus route are being closed off.)

Mrs. Malkin included politics when she pointed out the probable lack of coverage by the MSM.

In my opinion, there is never a time not to defend (via conversations) unborn children. You may choose to call them fetus’ in some clinical sterile voice, but you would be wrong by the very fact that there is no humanity in that phrase. Everyone knows the correct choice. It is just some people choose to ignore the correct and go for the convenient.

When I was 16 thru the age of 18 my friend’s and I were delving into the super natural realm, in hindsight a power that was much more powerful than any of us. I’ve seen the evil side of thing’s and I mean literally I have seen thing’s that would curl your hair and I know as fact that the power of satin and his demon’s exist. At the age of 18 extremly strange thing’s started to happen and later I recognized that satin was trying to physicaly and spritualy destroy me. One night while in my bed starting to go to sleep (and this happened on more than one occasion) I started going into this surealistic transe state, it was very uncomfortable to say the least, this time I had enough and became scared of what I was seeing and feeling, I just wanted to wake up but could not, and then I thought Lord God please help me, I yelled it again saying please God you have to help me, and then it happened, a bright warm light enveloped my body and I could feel the presence of God, He came over me and I was reassured not by word’s but feeling that he would take care of me and save me from myself and satin, he did. The next day I prayed and told God thank you, I know your their for me and I believe that you sacrificed your only son Jesus Christ for my life and my sin’s.

When I was 19 I met my now wife she was so tiny and pretty, I even carded her to make sure she was at least 17 (she looked like she was about 12). We started dating and of course having the big fun. We had known each other for 3 Month’s when she became pregnant, ooop’s. She wanted to talk to me about having an abortion, I said to her God does’nt allow us to decide who live’s or die’s and what you have in side you is God’s not your’s and if you don’t want the baby then I will take it, but if you decide to have an abortion I don’t want to see you anymore because I will consider you a murderer. She said to me what has god ever done for me, I replied he gave you life and he has given you one of the most precious thing’s to take care of, another life, this child’s life is in your hand’s and if you kill it, it will be as if you turned your back on God therefore he will turn his back on you, but if you decide to keep the baby I want to know if you will marry me so we can live out God’s plan for us. She agreed Thank God cause I don’t know if I would have found anyone else to take my crap. Our son of course was born 7 month’s later, and we will have been married 27 year’s this March.
This is what I have believed since I was 18 and I know the awesome power of God’s hand’s, Many have not experienced this and still believe, God will bless them maybe more than me. Life is the most precious gift and it is not our’s to destroy for any reason. May God bless those who fight for the unborn innocent gift’s to the world and bless those who have been lost.

Sorry it was so long.

And Happy Birthday, EQ. I take the quarter-century plunge in two weeks. Where do the years go?

An early happy birthday to you, Rusty. I don’t know where the time goes. My son is fast approaching his first birthday. It really flies by.

But, I do keep my Pro-Life plate displayed proudly on the front of my vehicle from the Tennessee Right to Life.

Abortion thread and no Rusty? No Rusty telling us Christians it is the “christian” thing to do – abort a baby if it is something you just don’t want?

I never said that abortion is the Christian thing to do. That wouldn’t make any sense.

There’s no reason to have an abortion debate in this thread. Mrs. Malkin’s post wasn’t a comment on abortion politics or policy. It was meant to raise awareness of the march. I have no beef with that. (Especially since none of the roads on my bus route are being closed off.)
