My inbox has been flooded with messages from parents who say their doctors told them their baby would have a disability and recommended abortion.
They refused and delivered baby.
Baby was born with no disability.
Of course not every case, but thousands and thousands.
Claiming you are killing your child with Down syndrome to spare him suffering is total self-delusion. You have no right to kill a child. And children with Down syndrome can live beautiful, full lives just like any of us. Murdering a child with disabilities is never the answer.
Imagine a post like this, but instead of referring to an unborn baby, he’s referring to his Down Syndrome toddler. Everyone would be aghast and enraged.
Yet the only differences between a toddler and an unborn baby are age and location. These aren’t reasons to kill someone outside the womb, so they don’t work as reasons to kill someone inside the womb, either.
No euphemisms or sympathetic language can mask the reality that killing a baby is brutal, painful, and evil.
People with special needs are no less valuable - and therefore no less deserving of life - than people without special needs.
Despite Jesse’s attempt to center this murder on his and his wife’s feelings, the truth is, in every abortion scenario, the primary - and typically only - victim is the baby. He or she deserves all of our sympathy and advocacy.
If, after a fair trial, we applied the death penalty quickly, consistently, and publicly to murderers, the “temperature” would go down real quick.
“Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.” Ecclesiastes 8:11
Why should Christians be actively involved in the government?
Because initiatives like this one would not happen.
You can disagree with who has been asked to read, but not the fact scripture is being read is a net positive.
BREAKING:
The UK just legalized abortion up to birth.
Babies can now be killed at any age, under any circumstance—even when they can survive outside the womb.
Lord, have mercy.
A baby at 9 weeks in the womb. She has facial features, tiny arms and legs, a beating heart, a unique human blueprint, and is about the size of a small strawberry.
She’s not just a clump of cells, but a unique and developing human being worthy of life.
Depression & anxiety are ravaging a generation of young people, but there is...

-HELP: God's common grace of
pastors, counselors, & doctors
-a HOME: church & family, so
don't isolate yourself
-HEAVEN: where suffering isn't allowed
How is it not disqualifying for a member of congress to be unable to pledge allegiance to America and it's citizens?
Like seriously, is that not treasonous? It's an act of betrayal.
America doesn’t have a fertility problem, we have an abortion problem.
More than 1,034,000 babies never made it out of the womb last year.
This has to stop. 🛑
There is nothing harmless about smoking marijuana. Nothing.
We have normalized an entire generation experiencing psychosis, lung degeneration, and mental health problems because we hide behind the false excuse of “personal freedom” and what’s politically trendy.
Too many of us have seen friends and family members and people we love be driven to suicide, incarceration, psychosis, or schizophrenia for something that we were promised “wasn’t addictive!!” and “we could stop at any time!!” for us to keep pretending this is normal or ok.
Christian singer Matthew West shared a powerful story about taking his daughter to camp. During an exercise, the daughters were blindfolded and the dads were told to guide them through the woods after repeating three instructions: I will never leave you. You can ask me anything. And only listen for my voice.
At first, he could guide her easily. Then the counselors signaled for him to remove his hand. He was no longer allowed to speak unless his daughter remembered she could ask him anything. Eventually, they got off track on their hike and a counselor quietly led her into a ditch without her realizing it.
After standing there blindfolded and confused, she finally asked, “Dad, are you there?”
Matthew said he teared up as he answered, “Yeah. I’m here.”
This moment reminded him how often we forget the same truths about God: that He never leaves us, we can ask Him anything, and we need to listen for His voice.
