JUDIE BROWN COMMENTARY

It was beyond my morning coffee jolt; it was more energizing than a can of Red Bull. It was so disgusting I had to read it three times. What was this, you might ask?

It is hard to believe that a state supreme court, in one of the most pro-life states in our nation, would permit Planned Parenthood to keep more than $900,000 in taxpayers’ dollars.

Much to our surprise the ballot initiative in Missouri that would approve funding for human embryonic stem cell research would change, forever, the abortion laws in that state.

My job is to tell the truth; but I’m continually thwarted by those in the medical community and the government who make false claims that utterly disregard the dignity of the human person.

I share the following not out of any self-absorbed idea of importance, but because it shows the power of God in this, our pro-life effor to serve the Lord.

On Christmas Eve Day of 2001, Santa Claus found my son at Children’s Hospital in St. Paul because he was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes – most people know this disease as juvenile diabetes.

Abortion cheerleaders continue denying that the morning after pill regimen, PLAN B, aborts, even though one of the pill’s biggest proponents, Dr. James Trussell, has defined it as a chemical that can interfere with the lining of the womb, thus making it impossible for the embryonic child to implant.

When I saw the Ms. Magazine invitation to join the new “We Had Abortions” petition campaign, the evil practically jumped right off the page.

Would you believe it if I told you that Ms. Magazine is campaigning for mothers who have aborted their children to sign a petition expressing their pride at that decision? Well, they are, and it really is disgusting.

It is really amazing to me that when the pro-abortion crowd is not getting their way, they always sue somebody. It’s as though they think that the lawsuit threat is going to send us all scurrying away.

I am often fascinated when reports on a topic converge within a very short period of time. You don’t often see mainstream media accounts that deal with the victims of abortion or human embryonic stem cell research.

I realize that we live in a world saturated with death and destruction. A glimpse of the evening news exposes the dead in Israel, the dead in Iraq, and the devastation in Syria. If it is not these conflicts, it has been others over the past forty years.
