Wednesday, September 17: Forgot to mention this. The other day, I listened to a caller on Dr. Laura’s radio show pregnant with a baby diagnosed with a heart defect. The baby likely will be stillborn, she was told, or will die shortly after birth. Specialists offer no hope. The woman and her husband have decided to carry the baby to term.
As heartbreaking as it will be to lose that baby, they want to give their child a chance at life. You never know what can happen. The defect may turn out to be non-fatal after all.
Dr. Laura shared a story about a previous caller pregnant with a child doctors said would die shortly after birth. One doctor suggested she kill…pardon me…abort the baby. A couple years later (or was it a year?), the woman brought her healthy child to the same doctor and said something like, “I wanted you to meet the child you said I should abort.”

As you know, Barack Obama voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act while a senator in Illinois. The bill, which eventually became law, gives legal protection to infants outside the womb who survive murder attempts.
Depending on which way the wind’s blowing, Obama’s reasons for voting against the measure vary. Despite his “obamobfuscations,” he simply doesn’t care. Women have the right to kill their babies in utero at any time for any reason. Period.
Gianna Jessen (click on image to watch short video), who survived an abortion attempt 31 years ago, said:
“If Senator Barack Obama’s position against born alive protections were in place when I was born, I would not be here today. Senator Obama had the opportunity four times to vote to protect infants born from failed abortions and he chose not to. By voting against these protections, he was basically denying these living, breathing babies their most basic human right.”

Attempted Murder by Poison
Jessen’s teenage mother attempted to kill her via a saline solution procedure when she was seven and a half months pregnant. During this despicable procedure, a so-called doctor injects saline into the woman’s stomach, and the solution poisons the baby as he swallows, and it burns his skin. The baby dies, and the mother goes into labor, delivering a dead baby.
I am woman, hear me roar! Sisters are doing it for themselves! You’ve come a long way, baby. 
Jessen miraculously survived but suffered injuries as a result of the abortion attempt. She developed cerebral palsy. Jessen’s mother put her up for adoption, which she should have done in the first place instead of trying to kill her. Today, Jessen is a Christian and pro-life advocate who has testified before the U.S. Congress and the British House of Commons. Since 2005, she’s run in two marathons.
Questions and Answers
Here’s what I don’t understand about women who abort. The life growing inside them has a soul, the immortal part of our being. You don’t have to be a Christian to understand the concept, because everyone has some awareness of this essence, no matter what they call it. I would be afraid of snuffing out innocent life, knowing the soul of my child still existed. Even if I weren’t a Christian, I’d know instinctively there’d be some kind of reckoning for that action. If I ever came “face to face” with that child, what would I say?
For the record, there is a difference between the state executing a convicted murderer and someone killing an innocent unborn baby. The Bible doesn’t teach that we’re forbidden to kill. The Sixth Commandment forbids murder. Executing a murderer is a just killing, not murder.
