South Dakota Lawmakers: Abortion Can Lead to Suicide
Steven Aden, senior counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom, identifies the fact that women who have an abortion may experience many repercussions. Among other things, abortion has been linked to suicide. Consequently, the state of South Dakota is doing everything it can to inform pregnant women that there are options other than abortion. Aden writes:
In March 2011, South Dakota’s Gov. Dennis Daugaard signed the Abortion Informed Consent Statute into law. Although the constitutionality of the law was immediately challenged, and Planned Parenthood recoiled at the thought of mothers being informed of all the dangers abortion poses for them (in addition to the child), the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that all major provisions of the law can stand.

What Does Six Creation Days Really Mean?
Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis addresses the rumor that noted Bible scholar R.C. Sproul has changed his mind about Genesis and now agrees with the stand taken by AiG. He writes:
Over the years, I have had many people tell me that they asked their pastor or other Christian leaders whether they believed in six literal days of creation. They would tell me the answer was often “yes” and therefore these leaders (apparently) agreed with Answers in Genesis. But sadly, these leaders may not agree with AiG’s stand on six literal days, young earth, no death and disease before sin, etc. How is that possible?

Mike Leake, associate pastor of First Baptist Church in Jasper, Indiana, is not convinced by the unbiblical Word-faith teaching that God wishes everyone to be healthy, happy and prosperous. He writes:
If you are not familiar with the prosperity “gospel” turn on your television and watch TBN for about 15 minutes. There you will be exposed to the damnable teaching that what the gospel is really about is securing our health, wealth, and happiness and our best life now.
