Activists Don’t Care About Pain Babies Feel During Abortion
LifeNews (LN) reports that scientific evidence shows that unborn babies feel pain during abortion.

Others with exposure to the very same evidence have generated technology and an industry that literally destroys innocent human life–the abortion industry.

Abortion and the Will to Power
From LifeSite News:
An item came to my attention today in my daily inspection of the internet, asking a very pertinent question. And though I’m sure it was meant rhetorically, I thought I’d have a go at answering it. A short piece, clearly published in answer to the hundreds of thousands gathered this week on the Washington Mall demanding an end to the slaughter of children, asks, “So what if abortion ends life?”

Celebrating 40 Years of Legal Infanticide
Christian Research Network correspondent Marsha West reminds us that 40 years ago today, Roe v. Wade became the law of the land and legal abortion became a way of life in America. “On a cold soggy January day in 1973,” she writes, “people gathered throughout America to celebrate women’s newfound freedom to abort their babies. No longer would the government have the right to intrude in ‘private family matters.’ On that same day others mourned as they contemplated the Court’s shocking decision to legalize infanticide.”

Premarital Sex?
Russell Moore, Dean of the School of Theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, addresses the loss of the words “fornicate” and “fornication” found in the Bible. These words have now been replaced with terms such as “abstinence” and “premarital sex.” Dr. Moore clarifies why these are not interchangeable. He believes,
This is important because the Scripture makes clear that “fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor. 6:9-10; Rev. 21:8). The language of “premarital sex” can enable a conscience to evade repentance. After all, if the problem is one merely of “timing” or of “waiting” then the problem is resolved once one is married. The event was in the past.
