Imagine that your doctor has just given you the terrific news that your annual checkup went well and that all of your tests show that you are in perfect health. Then imagine that he hands you a script and says, Take this every day. It has many side effects, including lethal ones. You would be loath to begin this regimen. Yet, this is what countless women do each day when they use contraception to prevent a pregnancy.
We live in a backward culture that somehow thinks the murder of a child is not only acceptable, but something that should be celebrated and embraced. We’ve allowed minds to become so twisted and confused that they don’t even see the resulting destruction. We say all the time that we must be voices for the preborn, but are we loud enough to be heard over all this noise?
In many things in life it’s prudent to have a backup plan a contingency for when things may not go as you had hoped or expected. Such is not the case when it comes to the life of a child. This child, created in the image and likeness of God, is a human being from the very moment he is created. Emergency contraception can take his life. And that is no backup plan.
In this ever-changing world in which contraception is pushed from many fronts, we find that we must now add the pediatrician’s office to the list. Parents, beware. Make it a point to know what goes on when your child talks with his doctor.

The recent Supreme Court Ruling on the Hobby Lobby case presents a unique look at what the hard left is attempting to force employers to pay for. Many of the talking points claim that, by siding with Hobby Lobby, the Supreme Court has “taken away” women’s access to “essential health care.
As the American public becomes more aware of Planned Parenthood’s real operations, the organization has no choice but to close down its facilities
Big Abortion flourishes because not all human beings are valued. Big Abortion flourishes because a preborn baby’s life is not given the respect it deserves. Today’s hedonistic and selfish society cannot seem to grasp the horror that, with every abortion, a preborn baby is slaughtered. Can we combat this? There are ways.
