In an interesting twist, Governor Dave Heineman signed the "Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act" (LB 1103), into law in the State of Nebraska on Tuesday, April 13, 2010. Deacon Keith Fournier writes, in "
Nebraska Protects Some Children in the Womb from the Pain Caused by Abortion" (Catholic Online, April 13, 2010). Fr. Frank Provone is quoted as saying: "Until now, our laws have shown greater concern for laboratory animals and cattle that are slaughtered than for babies in the womb. With the Abortion Pain Prevention Act, Nebraska is beginning to change this. Every state should look to do the same." Apparently 4D sonogram technology, which has given us a window into the womb, has begun having an effect.
The idea that this legislation is even necessary should make all of us too ill to eat for a month.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who thinks about what it is saying about millions of children who have been brutally killed, murdered violently without protection or power to even cry out in their own defense...
We should all die a little inside.
Sadly it has prompted some people to kill the messenger instead.

I am related to someone who is a member of NARAL. They actively fight for abortion. This person was raised in an anti abortion family. Everyone else in his family is very anti-abortion. I would like to ask someone who is actively pro-abortion WHY. Does anyone know of a site that I could go to in the hopes of learning why these people are so set on the murder of the unborn?

ReplyDeleteI would say a good place to start is the International Planned Parenthood Foundation's brochure, Here. Two warnings: 1. It's a pdf file (somepeople are annoyed by those) and 2. You ought to pray before reading it, and it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have a bottle of Emetrol within reach. The short version is that in their warped world-view, sex is a need, not a choice and ironically choice is absolute to the point that the manual says one is not obligated to reveal that they have HIV to someone they intend to have sex with. Also, young girls are advised to find clinics that will not tell their parents what they are doing there.
