[The Ways of A Gentleman @Gentleman_Ways]

A word of advice to men: respect women.

Treat every woman with the dignity you would want shown to your mother or sister. She’s not an object to be used for your pleasure and discarded when you're finished.

When you date, remember that the woman across from you could someday be someone's wife, or maybe your own.

Don't participate in a culture that reduces women to bodies through pornography or casual relationships built around using one another.

Control your appetites. Guard your character. Treat women with courtesy, dignity, and respect.

A true gentleman never exploits a woman for his own gratification.

People are talking about the medical necessity of abortion to save the mother's life. I was one of those mothers.

I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer that was cutting off my airway at 20 weeks of pregnancy. I will never forget when the first doctor, an oncologist, mentioned abortion. We had gone thru years of infertility to get pregnant. I knew I would rather die and give birth. Then I met with another doctor who listed all of the problems the baby would have if I did not terminate. I stood my ground and refused. He said, "That is ok. The baby will probably spontaneously abort anyway."

I searched and found good doctors that supported me, and I gave birth to a healthy baby at 34 weeks.

I will be celebrating 10 years cancer free in May. I have a healthy, beautiful, bright, precious 10 year old daughter who is a living reminder that doctors do not know everything” - Sarah Hull

Meet Isaac Immanuel.

Doctors didn’t think he would survive outside the womb, telling his parents his disability wouldn’t support his lungs.

Now he’s using those lungs to praise the Lord who knit him together in the womb.

God works in mysterious ways.
