PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO END ABORTION
"Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life, and for the lives
of all my brothers and sisters.
I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion, yet I rejoice
that you have conquered death
by the Resurrection of Your Son. I am ready to do my part in ending abortion.
Today I commit myself
Never to be silent, never to be passive, never to be forgetful of the unborn. I
commit myself to be active in the
pro-life movement, and never to stop defending life until all my brothers and
sisters are protected, and our nation once
again becomes a nation with liberty and justice not just for some, but for all,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!"

WHAT "PLANNED
PARENTHOOD" AND THE "PRO-CHOICE" CROWD
DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE...wm
[This truck is parked next to the
KILLEEN
"Women's
Health
Center" (so called)....]
I. Historically speaking, does the term
"The Final Solution" mean anything to
you? If so, then the stenciled words,
"BIOMEDICAL WASTE SOLUTIONS" on the truck above
should send a chill up your spine.
II.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT LAWS ARE "ON THE BOOKS" IN THE
STATE OF TEXAS (that govern the handling of
the aborted remains of unborn babies)?
The "CAUTION:
MEDICAL WASTE" notice stenciled on the truck
above
is an indicator.
III.
THIS IS THE WAY WE DO THINGS IN TEXAS...
(May God have mercy on us!)
State of Texas:
Title 30, Chapter 330,
Section 11
“... fetuses must
be disposed
of by:
(I) incineration followed
by deposition of the residue
in a sanitary
landfill;
(II) grinding and
discharging to a sanitary
sewer system;
(III)
interment;
(IV) steam
disinfection followed by
interment;
(V) moist heat
disinfection followed by
deposition in a sanitary
landfill;
(VI) chlorine
disinfection/maceration
followed by deposition in a
sanitary landfill;
or (VII)
an approved alternate
treatment process, provided
that the process renders
the
item as unrecognizable,
followed by deposition in a
sanitary landfill.”

Amazing insights into the abortion industry.
Abby Johnson Recalls: Planned Parenthood Alarm Was 2229
(BABY)
by Abby Johnson |
Washington, DC | www.LifeNews.com | 9/2/11 5:22 PM
It took a few weeks before I got the alarm code to our
clinic. I guess it takes that long for them to trust
you. I remember
getting the code and feeling shocked. The code was
2229. That seems innocent…until they told me what it
spelled out…
BABY. Really. Wow. We were really joking about
that…our alarm code was mocking the murder of children.
A few weeks later I was introduced to our freezer in the
POC (products of conception) lab. This was the freezer
that held
the fetal tissue until the biohazard truck came for
disposal. I found out the name for that freezer…the
nursery. Again, that
was a joke. How had that become a joke?
A few days later I learned the password to our phone
system…2229…BABY.
A couple years later I remember walking in on my
supervisor making jokes with the abortionist and another
employee in that
same POC lab. They were joking about how the fetal
tissue floating in this dish looked like bar-b-que.
Did I hear that right?
Did they really just say that? Then one of them said,
“I actually think this part looks like strawberry jam.”
I turned around and walked out without saying a word. I
felt sick to my stomach. How did that conversation
begin? How could they say that? Was
it enough to make me leave? No. I was one of them
now. I am drenched in the evil of this place.
Several years later I found out that my affiliate was
going to build the largest abortion clinic in the
Western Hemisphere. I remember my boss making the
announcement. “We are building the largest abortuary in
the country!” We all busted out
laughing as we applauded. We loved hearing all of the
words pro-lifers called our clinics. We were all so
proud. We were
doing something that would go down in the history
books. Good for us, we thought.
About a year before I left, the Coalition for Life group
had moved in next door to our clinic. We joked about
sending them a “welcome to the neighborhood” gift.
Maybe we should send them cookies in the shape of babies
with red icing on them that resembles blood. We
laughed. We thought we were so witty. It was not wit.
I could go on and on. I look back now and wonder how I
could let my mind become so numb to something so
terrible.
You may wonder why I am sharing this with you. Why
would I let you in on conversations that are so
disgusting? I guess I
need you to see what it is really like inside these
clinics. Was my experience unique? Was mine the only
clinic that joked
around like this? No. We are all the same. Can
someone be prolife and work in the abortion industry?
Absolutely not.
Can someone refer a woman to have an abortion and be
prolife? Of course not.
Don’t allow people, in or out of the abortion industry,
to believe something that isn’t true. If we can’t speak
the truth, and do it
out of compassion, then what are we doing? If we can’t
confront the inconsistencies in someone’s belief system,
then why
bother being prolife?
There are things that are just true. You can’t be
prolife and work in the abortion industry. You can’t
have an abortion and
say you are prolife while you are lying on the abortion
table. You can’t receive a paycheck from the abortion
industry and say
that you are prolife. Those things just don’t wash.
It’s time to show
consistency in this movement. It’s time to be honest.
It’s time to start speaking out.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against
spiritual hosts of wickedness
in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole
armor of God, that you may be
able to withstand in the evil day and having done all,
to stand. --Ephesians 6:12-13

EXCERPTS
FROM
"END THE ROE LITMUS TEST"
(Published by the
National Committee for a Human Life Amendment, 733 15th
Street, NW, Suite 926, Washington, DC 20005)
"In 1973 the U.S. Supreme Court issued two
abortion rulings, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. These
decisions created a new "right" to abortion, and made abortion legal
nationwide through the full nine months of pregnancy, with no
meaningful limitation."
"In recent years, Roe
has even been used to invalidate bans on partial-birth abortion,
which kills a child in the process of birth." (A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling may change
this!!)
"Since Roe v. Wade became the law of the land, more than 40
million unborn children have lost their lives and untold numbers of
women have suffered the aftermath of abortion. The practice of
medicine has been degraded by those in the profession who
participate in destroying life. And society as a whole has been
coarsened by the toleration and even acceptance of the widespread
taking of innocent human life. Roe v. Wade has poisoned all
it has touched."
DEVELOPMENT OF A HUMAN BEING
*
Day 1 (H-Hour): "The sperm
penetrates the egg."
H + 12 hours:
"The ovum divides into two genetically unique cells."
H + 30 hours:
"The cell, dividing every 12-15 hours, moves down the Fallopian
tube."
Day 2:
"Still moving through the Fallopian tube, the morulla (science
term) now is
8 - 16 cells."
Day 3:
"The fertilized ovum forces its way out of the Fallopian tube into
the uterus.
It is now a blastocyst (science term)."
Day 4:
"The blastocyst, shed its 'armor' and attaches to the uterus. The
embryo
and placenta are distinct."
Day 8:
"Now several hundred cells, once attached, the blastocyst secretes
progesterone signaling the woman's brain that she is pregnant."
Day 11:
"Every one of the approximately 2,000 cells are dividing twice a
day. The
blastocyst tells the woman's body to stop menstrating (sic)
and the uterine
walls become more elastic."
Day 18
"A baby's heart begins to beat..." (PROLIFE Across AMERICA)**
Week 3:
"The embryonic brain is forming and the embryonic heart is beginning
to
form and beat. The human embryo (science term) is .08 inches long."
Week 4:
"Bones are forming. At 1/4 inch the
heart pumps blood to the liver and to
the aorta."
Week 5:
"At .4 inch long, the brain is extremely large and hands and feet
are
starting to take shape."
Week 6:
"Just over 1/2 inch, the embryo has a spinal cord and the heart beats
140-150 beats a minute, twice as many
as the mother. The embryo has its
own blood, seperate (sic) from the mother. Dark eyes are
visible."
Week 7:
"Brain coordinates movenents..." **
Week 8:
"At 1 1/2 inch long, all the organs are in place. At this point,
biologist refer
to it as a fetus (science term). The fetus weighs 13g (less than 1/2 ounce). In 50
days it
has gone from one cell to many millions with 100,000 genes in each
cell."
"All organs are functioning..." **
Week 9
(Baby) "Has permanent, individual fingerprints..."
**
Week 10 or 11:
"At 1 1/2 inches, the fetal body jerks and moves, hiccups and flexes
her
arms and legs."
(Baby has) "Sense of touch
(comfort/pain)..."**
Week 12
"A baby can smile, suck his/her thumb, and make a fist..." **
Week 15:
"Facial features appear. Hands grasp one another."
Week 20:
"If a fetus is exposed to bright light, she will shield her eyes
with her
hands."
Month 4:
"The baby is 6 1/2 inches long. The baby hears. Pleasant music may
calm
the child. Loud noises may cause him to react."
Month 4.5:
"When the baby's finger touches her lips, it creates a sucking
reflex."
Month 5:
"Hair gets thicker."
Month 7:
"The baby now 18 inches swallows the surrounding amniotic fluid,
giving
its digestive tract practice."
Months 8 & 9:
"The baby adds 1/2 pound a week."
Month 9:
"Mom has gained 25 - 35 pounds. The baby is responsible for about
one third. Birth is physically demanding for mother and child.
Babies
produce more adrenaline than they will ever do as adults."
Birth:
"...The lungs must expel liquids and breath. The heart seals, blood
circulates. First eye contact occurs within minutes."
