Planned Parenthood Clinic Director Resigns After Witnessing Abortion

Agree: 10 
Disagree: 1
I'm currently pregnant with my first child and would recommend to anyone who is unsure whether abortion is wrong or not to go watch an ultrasound. It's so obvious when you watch an ultrasound, even of a fetus that is "just" 13-weeks old, that it's clearly a baby, a living person, and that anyone willing to purposely kill it is a murderer.

salvage, maybe there has been a massive upswing in family breakdowns etc and you're just not aware of it. What's the divorce rate in this country nowadays anyway? 50%? Who's to say that some divorces aren't the result of porn addiction? I know my parents almost got divorced because of it -- porn changed my father.. it changed his demeanor and compromised the values he had taught me my whole life and it took him years to get over the addiction. To this day I pray he stays away from the temptation. My parents ended up working through it, but they easily could have ended up becoming just another divorce statistic and very few people would have known it was the result of porn.

Does God Expect Me to Stay Married to a Jerk?
photche »Tue Sep 22, 2009 12:31 pm Agree: 4 Disagree: 0
Just this morning I was feeling resentful towards my husband - thinking that I bear more of the daily work around the house than he does.. but this puts it all into perspective for me: "Do we believe that when we suffer, we suffer outside the will of God, or do we believe that God allows suffering to enter our lives for his good purpose? Isn’t there the expectation that we, too, will share in the sufferings of Christ, that “we must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22, NKJV)?"
Not that I'm "suffering," persay, but the resentment and frustration I was feeling this morning - perhaps it is being allowed by God for a good purpose. And the author is right.. it's not all about being "happy," it's about being holy, and that entails suffering and tribulations in life, big and small.
This article was just what I needed to read today. Put it all into perspective for me. :) -
Teen Rejects Vaccine on Moral Grounds; Denied Citizenship
photche »Wed Sep 16, 2009 12:11 pm Agree: 3 Disagree: 0
Cheisa, I do basically agree with you that if someone wants to become a US citizen they should have to fulfill any requirements we ask of them (ie it's a privilege to become a US citizen, not a right) -- but that doesn't mean that those requirements can't ever be questioned.
In regards to it being framed as a moral issue - I understand why you feel the way you do, but it is kind of a religious issue, right? She's abstaining from sex, and therefore won't be acquiring STDs, on the basis of religious beliefs. The government is assuming that everyone will act in an un-Christian manner, having sex before marriage and exposing themselves to the possibility of acquiring STDs, and she's bearing the consequences of that assumption (by being forced to take the Gardasil vaccine). -
Teen Rejects Vaccine on Moral Grounds; Denied Citizenship
photche »Wed Sep 16, 2009 10:30 am Agree: 3 Disagree: 1
Cheisa, I personally think you're going a little overboard with your comments. I can see your point, that immigrants in the past had to go through much more than immigrants today do to become a US citizen, and I think it's valid, but I don't think this girl is an "insult to the immigrants who have come here since the 19th century." I personally agree with her. Why should someone, even an immigrant, be forced to receive a vaccination that protects against a sexually transmitted virus that might lead to cervical cancer? Seems a bit different than requiring vaccinations against Mumps, measles, rubella, polio, etc. - which tend to be highly contagious and/or debilitating diseases. Besides that fact that one's lifestyle could really put them at a much lower risk of acquiring STDs, thereby greatly diminishing the need for this particular vaccination. I agree with the grandmother.. who is the government to take away her right to make an informed decision about the health of her child?

Really great article!

I totally agree with RedRyder. If there was a matchmaking website that targeted gays and lesbians (I assume there are), I would, as a straight person, just go find a matchmaking website that caters to straight people. I wouldn't sue them and force them to serve me. I would just figure that they've picked a specific demographic to serve and I don't fall into that demographic.

jj: I didn't hurl insults at anyone, not even Mr. Tiller. I just made the point that he shouldn't be called a saint; that's utterly ridiculous, in my opinion. To answer your question, obviously I would prefer that everyone experience heaven instead of hell, but not at the expense of having to kill all of those people while they're not yet even out of the womb (reminder: murder is a sin and there's no justification for it). God gave us free will and everyone has the right to be born and to live and to choose whether or not to believe in and follow God.
-
I'm not condoning the murder of Mr. Tiller - two wrongs don't make a right - but the fact that some of you are debating whether the man was a "saint" appalls me. Abortion is murder and this guy murdered 80,000 innocent babies. I think debating where the babies went - heaven or hell (I think heaven) - is besides the point. The point is that this abortionist pretended he was God and he took innocent lives. To consider calling him a "saint" is disgusting.

great article!

Wicca Experts Encourage Christians to Engage America's 'Fastest-Growing' Religion
photche »Mon Sep 22, 2008 1:50 pm Agree: 5 Disagree: 1
"Burroughs said the number one complaint they received from Wiccans about Christians was that they would befriend them but later desert them if they did not convert in a short period time." I don't personally have anything against Wiccans, or Muslims, or anyone else who believes something different from me, but I decided a long time ago that it's much healthier for me to be friends with people who believe similarly to me - surrounding myself with strong Christians only works to strengthen my faith. I'm not very interested in befriending people who practice witchcraft or spend time casting spells, as I think that would be to the detriment of my own faith and well being. Of course, I'm all for sharing my beliefs with others so that they might come to know Christ, but I just don't think it's helpful for me to hang out with people who are not only non-Christians, but who basically believe in the exact opposite as I do. Am I wrong to feel this way?

MTV VMA Host Draws Rebuke for Crude Jokes, Purity Ring Remarks
photche »Tue Sep 09, 2008 1:17 pm Agree: 2 Disagree: 0
Maybe she didn't say it perfectly, quickly improvising in front of a huge live and television audience, but I think it was admirable that Jordin Sparks stood up for the Jonas Brothers and their decision to wear purity rings. Good for her! MTV is such a bad influence on America's youth - mainstreaming immoral and perverted behavior; it's a disgrace. Tila Tequila (MTV's bisexual dating show), this Russel Brand guy with his offensive jokes, etc.. too bad they won't just go back to playing music videos like the old days.

steveh20... ok, so maybe I shouldn't have written "innocent babies" (although I personally don't think there was anything wrong about writing that).. but you completely dodged the point.. to restate my question without the word "innocent" in it: How can you sometimes be for the killing of babies and other times be against it? Whether or not the baby is "innocent," it is still a living human being.
-
"P.s And I am pro abortion in particular circumstances, much like McCain and most right thinking people actually." steveh20, how can you sometimes be for the killing of innocent babies and other times against it?

Is that kind of comment really necessary, dongard? It's obvious that Mr. Colson has made serious mistakes in his life, but he has since (from what I've gathered) turned his life over to Christ. I'm not condoning his former actions, but people can and do change. We're all sinners, after all, and God hates all sin equally. I'm more apt to give Chuck Colson the benefit of the doubt that he really has changed; besides, I enjoy reading his commentary.

Great article! Very interesting perspective.

Survey: Only 3 in 5 Christian Radio Listeners Tune In for Music
photche »Thu Jul 17, 2008 10:23 am Agree: 0 Disagree: 0
I love modern Christian music! One of my favorite memories from when I was a teen was singing "Our God is an Awesome God" with my friends in youth group. When I discovered 99.1, a Christian station that broadcasts in my area, I started listening to Christian music on a much more frequent basis - like in the car on my way to and from work. I think it is beneficial to listen to music with uplifting, Christian lyrics. I also love listening to the WOW cds and checking out Christian music videos on GodTube. I just think it is very important to filter out the negative, violent, obscene, immoral content that is found in a lot of music, television, movies and news today. I try to replace that type of entertainment with stuff that is more positive and Christian. (Hence why I listen to Christian music or come to this site to read the news.) I'll also sometimes listen to the preachers on Christian radio; my favorite is Albert Mohler's program on XM - excellent and highly recommended!!

Dead Girl's Parents Probed for Limiting Efforts to Prayer
photche »Fri Mar 28, 2008 5:07 pm Agree: 1 Disagree: 0
I agree that parents should take their children to the doctor, both for preventive care and especially if they become ill. But just to play Devil's advocate, the article does include a quote by the mother who says that they noticed the girl was tired and not well for about two weeks. Maybe they just didn't realize how serious it was? I mean, just this winter I walked around with mono for about a month before I finally went to the doctor - the whole time I just thought I had the bad cold that was going around. I'm not condoning their actions, and maybe there was negligence, but all I'm saying is that it's possible we don't know everything about this and that maybe it's just a horrible tragedy. It definitely doesn't sound from the article like the parents didn't care about the girl and wanted her to die. Although, it does sound a bit crazy that they didn't call 911 when it did get serious. So, who knows, but I'm just saying that maybe the parents aren't monsters.

Wow. What a profound, beautiful, inspiring article. The Lord can surely transform lives. It is so amazing!
