Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Twin Girls Saved From Abortion in China, Husbands Family Only Wanted BoysOn June 1, China will celebrate Childrens Day with childrens art exhibitions and performances. Meanwhile, no mention will be made of the fact that China has prevented more than 400 million children from being born, often by forced abortion, through its brutal One Child Policy. In addition, millions of Chinese baby girls are being aborted, just because they are girls.

Ancient Egyptian Mummy Determined to be Unborn Baby at 12-16 WeeksHistory
is something thats always intrigued me. By reading historical books,
watching documentaries and visiting iconic places from the past, our
eyes are opened to the life lessons of those who came before us. You may
be surprised to discover that some historic findings give us striking
insights that affirm the value of unborn life. Perhaps if pro-abortion
activists read a few books theyd realize theyre out of sync with a
world of past compassionate societies.

But not Nancy

insurance, a system that has inevitably led to rationing where its been
tried. http://www.lifenews.com/2014/

China Should Stop Forced Abortion and Gendercide for Children's Day June 1
Contact: Reggie Littlejohn, President, Women's Rights Without Frontiers, 310-592-5722
WASHINGTON, May 30, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- On June 1,
China will celebrate "Children's Day" with children's art exhibitions
and performances. Meanwhile, no mention will be made of the fact that
China has "prevented" more than 400 million children from being born,
often by forced abortion, through its brutal One Child Policy. In
addition, millions of Chinese baby girls are being aborted, just because
they are girls.
Reggie
Littlejohn, president of Women's Rights Without Frontiers, stated, "The
people of China cherish their children, but the government of China is
crushing them. If the Chinese government truly cared about children, it
would stop forcibly aborting them. If they truly cared about girls, they
would take strong measures to stop the selective abortion of females.
It is hypocrisy for the Chinese government to sponsor a lavish media
event such as Children's Day, meanwhile destroying children behind the
scenes."
Women's
Rights Without Frontiers has launched a "Save a Girl" campaign to save
women from forced abortion and baby girls from gendercide, and to extend
a helping hand to families who are so poor that their daughters are at
risk. Our fieldworkers on the ground in China visit women who are
thinking of aborting or abandoning their baby girls. We offer them
monthly stipends for a year to help them keep their daughters.
One
recent example involves the mother of babies Bao-yo and Hui-ying (names
have been changed to protect their identities). When their mother
learned she was pregnant, she was thrilled. Soon, however, her in-laws
began pressuring her to have a boy, so she went to a local hospital to
have an ultrasound performed to determine the sex of the child. If it
were a boy, she would have the baby. If it were a girl, she would abort.
What would have been double her happiness turned to double despair: she
was pregnant with not one, but two girls. When her husband's family
found out the news, they were furious with their daughter-in-law. She
didn't know what to do.
But
one of Women's Rights Without Frontiers' undercover fieldworkers found
this frightened woman and told her about our "Save a Girl" campaign. The
pregnant mother and her husband could not believe an American
organization would care about their daughters. Our fieldworker showed
them pictures and told them stories of other families we have helped,
other families who chose to join with us in believing that girls matter
just as much as boys. The couple was convinced and overjoyed. Through
the aid of one year of WRWF monthly stipends, they chose to keep their
baby girls and soon precious twins were born. Now, the mother-in-law who
had been so furious has changed her attitude. She enjoys the two new
angels in her life and appreciates our help. We are saving lives and
changing the culture one family at a time.

The Myth and Reality of Second Marriages among the Orthodox
There is a widespread opinion that the Eastern Churches permit a new
marriage after divorce, and give communion to the remarried. But this is
not the case, as Nicola Bux explains. Only the first marriage is
celebrated as a true sacrament
by Sandro Magister
The current idea is that in the Orthodox Churches there is a sacramental celebration of second and even third marriages and that communion is given to the divorced and remarried.
When in reality this is not the case at all. Orthodoxy has always differentiated first and second marriages not only in ceremony but also in substance, as is clearly demonstrated by the strongly penitential tone of the prayers for second marriages.
