Who are you to chose who had forfeited their life? Are you god? That is a shocking thing to say.

What about supporting mothers who parent their own children? Or does that not count?

Isn't it possible to believe that life begins at conception and be pro-life, but also believe that abortion should be available in some circumstances? I'd love to see more support for moms and babies and increased access to birth control. And, I don't think a lot about capital punishment --- but I guess I feel the same way. I wish there was no need for it and I don't think it should be used often, but there are some circumstances where it might be warranted. Flame away!

Hmmmmmm. Interesting. Everytime I hear about a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy or a pregnancy that could result in a seriously ill infant or the death of the mother, I praise God we live in a country where people have the choice to end a pregnancy.

Okay, we get it, you don't believe in abortion for anyone. But where do you stand in capital punishment grandma?

Thankfully, no. Our church is not sending a delegation of people to a March for Life. Call us crazy, but we tend to reach out in compassion to those facing difficult decisions. Regardless of our feelings toward abortion, holding a rally seems to run counter to everything we believe.

It must be anti capital punishment as well. All ages and stages.

Will you also be marching for increased access to birth control and support for mothers and babies? Or does your support for "ages and stages" not include that?

Oops! Thanks for the correction. I should have looked it up to confirm before posting.

I signed a permission slip for my DD to go with downtown on Wednesday for the MFL. If it's on Tuesday, The I don't know what I signed.

My pastor announced last night that a group from our church is going down to stand for the sanctity of human life in all stages and ages.

I've been several times over the past 41 years and it's quite a testimony to the power of God.
