DEACON FOR LIFE

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.

Remember When Hillary Clinton Got Planned Parenthood s Sanger Award?
Do you remember when Hillary Clinton received Planned Parenthood s Margaret Sanger award with pride, even calling Margaret Sanger someone she admired enormously? The reasoning she gave then was the the same so many gave afterward; just because Margaret Sanger believed in and was an avid supporter of eugenics did not mean that the organization she began then shared her same beliefs today.

Could the beliefs of the founder of Planned Parenthood be excused as exaggerated, baseless, or simply a common idea of her time? http://www.lifenews.com/2013/02/08/remember-when-hillary-clinton-got-planned-parenthoods-sanger-award/
