The Big
Pro-Life Bill is on its Way!
Last
week we had a meaningful hearing on the main pro-life bill in my Children
and Families
Many
pro-life bills focus on clinic regulations for the unborn child.
This bill is
A
witness testified of a woman who said moments after her abortion, "This is
the worst day of my life." Even those who are pro-abortion should
not want women to suffer this type of severe emotional trauma. If
this woman had been properly screened and satisfied with her choice, she
would not feel that way. While the US Supreme Court may have
hampered our states' ability to pass legislation that protects the
innocent, there is so much more we who are
being pressured to get an abortion by those who ought to be supporting
them and may be selfishly motivated by trying to avoid paying child
support for the next 21 years.
Abortion is an act of violence that always leaves one person lifeless and can be particularly harmful to a woman's conscience. While some would like to deny this, deep down in their souls, most women kno
e can accomplish to offer real help to
women who need emotional and material support.
Another
highlight of the hearing happened when the committee discussed comparisons
with dental offices. Our dental offices usually will not so much as
fill a cavity without the dentist seeing the patient first and explaining
what he will do. The patient usually makes an appointment for a week
or two later, though a filling is far less invasive, less expensive and
more reversible than an abortion. A committee member argued that, in
her dental office the hygienist informed the patients when they have
cavities and then the dentist comes in and fills it immediately.
Perhaps, she was describing how she would like the abortion industry to
operate, but I would like to thank her for making my point for me.
In
These
are a few of the goals included in this bill:
1.) It allows the women to
view the ultrasound. The abortion clinics tell us they routinely do
the ultrasounds, but with the new law, women will be allowed to see their
unborn child as the technician sees him or her.
2.) It prohibits boyfriends,
parents, family members, employers, etc. from coercing, threatening or
poisoning the pregnant women.
3.) It provides a
consultation with the abortionist one day before the surgery so that she
can have all her questions and concerns answered by the person who
understands her medical history.
4.)
It allows the local
county prosecutor to have information about potential victims of rape and
incest in time for fetal tissue samples to be
collected.
Some
interesting side notes: I

The Tim
Tebow Ad
Some
people are so interested in suppressing information they were willing to
engage in a tussle to prevent the Tim Tebow ad from being played during
the Super Bowl. Here is the ad that created all the
controversy: Super Bowl

Hamburger
Seeds
I took
my 4 year old son, Jacob, out to McDonald's for dinner one evening for a
"guy night".
As we
were eating our hamburgers, Jacob asked "Daddy, what are these little
things on the hamburger buns?"
I
responded that they were tiny seeds and were OK to
eat.
He was
quiet for a couple of minutes and I could tell he was in deep
thought.
Finally,
Jacob looked up and said, "Dad, if we go home and plant these seeds in our
backyard, we will have enough hamburgers to last
forever."
