Abortion website

I just found this awesome website and just had to share!

Their mission is simple. They have brought together quality information on the abortion debate from many different sources and made it available to the world in one abortion megasite. They believe that these facts point to an obvious conclusion. You are free to accept or reject this conclusion. They simply ask that whatever you do, do it on the basis of fact.

They believe that this information is valuable to all members of society no matter which side of the abortion issue they find themselves. They ask nothing more than the opportunity to present factual information on abortion in an honest manner to thinking people.


I really recommend checking out their site, whichever side of this issue you happen to be on. They also have some great resources listed for those who have had abortions and are going through the healing process.



If you would like to join in raising awareness about abortion through blogging, you can write a post and link up at the Abortion Blackout blog.

Abortion Blackout

I really wanted to share this video with you today. There doesn't appear to be a way to embed it, so just follow the link and click play... please. After you have watched the video, then you will better understand my post.

I can't help but want to ask about my moms friend who went into labor at 4 months and gave birth to twins. Are her twins more alive than a mom who is 4 months pregnant but did not go into preterm labor and her baby was born healthier for it? That doesn't make since. Or since it wasn't full term should the mom who gave birth to the twins have been able to decide a month later that she didn't want them and terminate them?


How can someone say that the baby on the left has more life then then the one on the right (who was actually older)?









Abortion Blackout was founded in 2010 to help educate an online generation about the prevalence and devastating effects abortion has on our society. They believe that increased awareness of abortion realities, education for women experiencing unplanned pregnancies, and distribution of financial resources to pregnancy resource centers across the nation will enable this generation to help end abortion by 2020!!! They have a facebook page and they encourage people to wear black on Friday's to morn the lives that are lost through abortion. While I don't commit to many things like this, this is one thing that I am committing myself to. I hope that you would consider partnering with them as well. (You do not have to donate to sign their pledge... it looks a little miss leading on their site. Just wanted to clarify)
