It will truly take a miracle from the Creator to change the depravity of minds of those abortion advocates and supporters. The leaders of Planned Parenthiid claim outrageous numbers of people who “support” them and their agenda. Most likely another unproven statistic. But that’s not really the issue.Nor is their shrill name-calling and fear-mongering.
The issue is the utter madness of killing our own offspring, regardless of age or circumstances of conception. Technology has now proven that the child of 20 weeks “responds” to pain, How then can an abortion advocate claim some humanity in abortion, regardless the method. Shredding, dismembering, burning to death with hypertonic salt solutions in utero, or induced labor creating massive contractions over hours crushing the child and finally expelling it.
To repent means: 1.Recognizing our error (sin) whether ignorance or self-serving choice is the root. 2. Changing our behavior 180 degrees. STOP the sin. 3. Though not necessary per se for repentance, one might do something to make up for the ill consequences of our actions. So - how will you respond to Rep. Franks efforts. We are not “anti-choice.” We are opponents of killing of innocents. Most horrendous of all is killing for profit, taking advantage of, and seducing the vulnerable pregnant child or woman.
