There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "…truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity–it is simply true and that is the end of it" – Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” – Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
We’re told random mutations drive evolution– mutations are supposed to be “the engine behind every new trait and species on Earth.” Turns out, though, that what the science shows again and again is mutations don’t build life, they break it down! Interestingly, breaking things down can sometimes help an organism, in much the way that stripping the seats out of your car can make it more fuel-efficient. But this kind of breaking things down doesn’t show how new molecular machines could be built.
This is from Discovery Science, an Intelligent Design think tank. They aren’t creationist, or even specifically Christian. So all they are showing here are the scientific shortcomings of Evolution, and if you want more of that, be sure to check out their Science Uprising series.
John Carpay offers a basically secular take in the linked article about Indigenous land claims, so I’ll offer up a biblical passage that has some application (and there are certainly others). Matthew 7:1-2 says it is justice to have the measure by which we judge others applied to ourselves. In the land acknowledgments stated before university classes and municipal meetings, there’s sometimes a reference to tribes who have been here “from time immemorial” or some such phrase. The point of that claim is that the European settlers took it relatively recently from Indigenous tribes who had been there previously forever.
But Indigenous tribes moved, and caused other tribes to move on. So the Indigenous group that might have had land taken from them by the settlers, did the same to whoever lived there before them – the dominoes go back way more than just the one block. So, if the last must be returned, then why just to the most recent tribe who themselves were takers too? And if that standard is thought unreasonable because of how hard it would be to work out, then let’s apply this new “workability standard” to the situation today too.
In 2022 the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision, which had legalized abortion the US for the past previous 50 years, was overturned. But the overturned decision didn’t actually protect the unborn – it just made it legal for the individual states to start doing so. Some started. But the Trump administration has allowed Joe Biden-era “abortion by mail” prescriptions to continue, and this kind of abortion has exploded since 2022. The end result? Abortions have risen from an average of 80,000/month in 2022, to 98,000/month in 2025.
This highlights how it isn’t just a legal ruling we need to save the unborn, and not even a somewhat sympathetic government, as the American pro-life movement has in the Trump administration. What’s been largely missing from the abortion debate is an explicitly Christian witness that explains why we need to protect unborn children everywhere, not simply in some states. We need to challenge our culture, teaching them that while they have no explanation for anyone’s worthGod has given us value by making us in His Image (Gen. 9:6). Like in every aspect of life, what we need here is the Gospel. And without it, even an inconceivable legal win will do very little all on its own.
Governments across the Western world have implemented laws requiring a certain minimum hourly wage that employers must pay. The notion behind these laws is to prevent business owners from exploiting their workers. But what these laws presume is that the government knows what’s best for everyone. What this video shows is, when the government pretends to know far more than they ever could, they cause all sorts of harms. And it just doesn’t matter if that’s not at all what they intended.
What does a country that gives $792,200,000 to Planned Parenthood in a single year deserve? And what does a country that has killed more than 60,000,000 children since 1973 deserve? The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, but then the number of abortions in the United States went up even higher. We have been systematically wiping out future generations of Americans, and then we have the gall to claim that we are a great nation. In ancient times, the practice of child sacrifice allowed pagan societies to get rid of large numbers of unwanted babies. They sacrificed thousands of children to their “gods”, but we have sacrificed tens of millions of children on the altar of convenience.
According to the annual report that was just released by Planned Parenthood, the organization is performing more abortions than ever before…
402,230 abortions, an all-time high, and up from last year’s 392,715 abortions.
367,594 breast cancer screenings and Pap tests, down from 410,272 the previous year.
129,594 preventive care visits, roughly the same as last year’s 129,216.
2,148 adoption referrals, up from 1,721 the previous year but half the referrals made just five years ago.
2,223,680 contraceptive services, down from 2,250,913 the previous year.
2.08 million patients, slightly up from last year’s 2.05 million, but quite a drop-off from the 2.4 million reported five years ago.
Abortion is a key revenue generator for Planned Parenthood, and that is one of the reasons why it is pushed so hard over other services that are deemed to be less important…
Other pro-life commentators criticized the group, based on its latest report. “Planned Parenthood receives increased taxpayer dollars annually while actual health services regularly decrease,” Carole Novielli wrote for Live Action. “The organization now commits over 57 abortions for every one prenatal care service, and kills over 187 preborn babies for every one adoption referral.”
Those numbers are so revealing.
Ultimately, abortion is what Planned Parenthood is all about.
And now they are even helping women that live in states where abortion is restricted travel to other states where they can receive abortions…
For the second year in a row, Planned Parenthood also touted how it helps women from pro-life states travel elsewhere to get abortions. The abortion giant reports assisting more than 100,000 women seeking abortions in the past year. More than 12,500 women received on average $275 to go toward travel costs. That’s more than $3.4 million in direct funding for abortion travel.
The blood of the children that are being slaughtered is crying out for justice.
But the federal government is not against what Planned Parenthood is doing.
In fact, the federal government is the primary source of funding for what Planned Parenthood is doing.
According to the numbers that Planned Parenthood just released, the organization got nearly 800 million dollars in government funding in just 12 months…
$2.522 billion in net assets, up from $2.517 billion the previous year.
$792.2 million in government funding, up from $699.3 the previous year.
More than $2 billion in total revenue, almost equal to the previous year.
$27.4 million in excess revenue (calculated by subtracting total expenses from total revenues, down from 178.6 million the previous year).
$684.1 million in private contributions and bequests, down from $997.5 million reported the previous year.
Every year, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars go to Planned Parenthood.
And every year those of us that are against abortion ask the federal government to stop doing that.
But every year our politicians in Washington just keep showering Planned Parenthood with more cash.
The federal government is the number one source of revenue for Planned Parenthood, and that makes the federal government complicit in their crimes.
The overturning of Roe v. Wade was an opportunity for our nation to repent.
In 2024, the number of abortions nationally rose 7 percent from the pre-Dobbs rate in 2020, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion access. The increase is largely driven by medication abortions, which now account for nearly two-thirds of all terminations.
If we banned the abortion pill, we could eliminate about two-thirds of the abortions that happen in the U.S. annually.
But our leaders refuse to do that, even though a recent study has shown that more than 10 percent of the women that take an abortion pill “experience sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious or life-threatening adverse event”…
In a first-of-its-kind study, “The Abortion Pill Harms Women”, the Ethics and Public Policy Center (EPPC) reveals that serious adverse events from mifepristone are approximately 22 times more frequent than the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently recognizes.
The study shows that, following a mifepristone abortion, 10.93 percent of women experience sepsis, infection, hemorrhaging, or another serious or life-threatening adverse event. That is, over one in ten patients experience at least one serious adverse event.
And we have also learned that more than 5 percent of the women that taken an abortion pill “undergo secondary abortions after the abortion pills they initially ingest fail”…
More than one in 20 women undergo secondary abortions after the abortion pills they initially ingest fail, according to just-published analysis.
The new study from the Ethics and Public Policy Center, which CBN News has previously reported on, found more than 5% of women had to pursue a repeat abortion within 45 days of taking mifepristone, the leading abortion-inducing pill. The data came from an analysis of insurance claims from 865,727 mifepristone abortions between 2017 and 2023.
Why won’t our politicians in Washington ban these extremely dangerous pills?
And why won’t our politicians in Washington stop showering Planned Parenthood with hundreds of millions of dollars each year?
There is no excuse for the inaction that we are witnessing.
If we continue to kill children on an industrial scale, there will be no future for America.
Life is so precious. One recent study actually found that humans “give off light”, but the study also discovered that the light that we give off “disappears upon death”…
Being made in the image of God could include giving off a “glow” until bodily death.
A newly released study of ultraweak photon emission (UPE) found not only that human beings give off light — a glow so faint it’s impossible to see with the naked eye — but that the glow disappears upon death.
The “light of life” is a real thing, and every day thousands of American children are having their lights suddenly extinguished.
How much time do we have left before we get what we deserve?
What does a nation that has killed more than 60 million of their own children deserve? Every single day, the number of American children that are killed exceeds the number of Americans that were killed on 9/11. Every single year, the number of American children that are killed is nearly equal to the number of Americans that have been killed in all of the wars that the U.S. has ever been involved in combined. More than 60 million babies have been slaughtered since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. At this point, we have become a society that has very little regard for human life. Most Americans don’t know what is going on behind closed doors at our abortion clinics, and most Americans simply don’t care. But the truth is that abortion is at the very core of what is wrong with America. We have killed tens of millions of our own children, and we continue to kill even more with each passing day. No nation that does such a thing could ever be considered a “good” nation.
Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. But our politicians in Washington didn’t pass a law to end the killing that year, or the year after that, or the year after that, and it certainly won’t happen this year. Of course the truth is that survey after survey has shown that most Americans do not want the killing to stop. Sadly, this is especially true for young women of childbearing age. The following are 25 facts about abortion in America that should make you very sick…
#2 The number of abortions performed in the U.S. actually went up during the 12 months immediately following the overturning of Roe v. Wade…
The average number of abortions performed each month in the US rose in the year after the supreme court overturned Roe v Wade and allowed more than a dozen states to ban the procedure, according to data released on Tuesday from a research group backed by the Society of Family Planning.
#3 In 2023, more than a million abortions were performed in the United States. That was the first year since 2012 that we have surpassed the one million abortion mark.
#4 Approximately 3,000 Americans lost their lives as a result of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11. Every single day, more than 3,000 American babies are killed by abortion.
#5 The number of American babies killed by abortion each year is roughly equal to the number of U.S. military deaths that have occurred in all of the wars that the United States has ever been involved in combined.
#6Approximately 22 percent of all pregnancies in the United States end in abortion. That means that more than one out of every five Americans is killed before they can even start their lives.
#8 Today, approximately 80 percent of all abortions are performed within the first 10 weeks of pregnancy.
#9 If a state passes a law that bans abortion after 9 weeks or after 12 weeks, they are actually legalizing the vast majority of the abortions that already take place.
#10 Unmarried women account for 88 percent of all abortions in the United States.
#11 Pew Research has discovered that 62 percent of U.S. adults think that “abortion should be legal in all or most cases”…
A median of 71% of adults across the 24 countries surveyed believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while a median of 27% believe it should be illegal.
In the United States, where a Supreme Court decision ended the constitutional right to abortion last year, 62% of adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. U.S. support for legal abortion has not changed in recent years.
In Europe, there is widespread agreement that abortion should be legal. In nearly every European country surveyed, at least 75% of adults hold this view, including roughly 25% or more who say it should be legal in all cases.
#12 According to a survey that was conducted in August 2024, 74 percent of all women in the United States between the ages of 18 and 49 believe that abortion should be legal…
According to findings released Wednesday by KFF, a nonprofit health think tank, 74% of women in the U.S. ages 18 to 49 think abortion should be legal. Around 70% support a federal right to abortion — the position held by Vice President Kamala Harris in a presidential election in which abortion rights are expected to be a motivating factor for many voters.
Nearly half of Republican women of reproductive age said abortion should be legal in most or all cases.
According to Gallup’s May 2023 update on Americans’ abortion views, 34% believe abortion should be legal “under any circumstances,” 51% say it should be legal “only under certain circumstances,” and 13% say it should be illegal in all circumstances.
#14 In 2023, medication abortion accounted for 63 percent of all U.S. abortions. Medication abortion accounted for just 6 percent of all abortions in 2001.
#15 The U.S. has done more to promote abortion around the world than any other nation. More than 1.5 billion abortions have been performed worldwide since Roe v. Wade was decided in 1973. The total population of the world is currently about 8 billion.
#16 According to the official website of the World Health Organization, there are approximately 73 million abortions globally each year. If you multiply that number by 10, you get 730 million abortions in just one decade, and if you multiply that number by 20, you get almost 1.5 billion abortions in just two decades.
#17 Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger once made the following statement…
“The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”
#18 In a 1922 book entitled “Woman, Morality, and Birth Control”, Planned Parenthood Founder Margaret Sanger wrote the following….
“Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race.”
#22 The average cost of a first trimester abortion in the United States is typically between 600 dollars and 800 dollars.
#23 The average cost of a vaginal birth with no complications in the United States is now around 13,000 dollars.
#2430 percent of U.S. women that have abortions identify as Protestant, and 24 percent of U.S. women that have abortions identify as Catholic.
#25 Tissue from aborted babies is often sold and used in various forms of “medical research”. The following comes from the New York Post…
Stomach-churning emails show Planned Parenthood negotiating terms regarding the donation of aborted fetuses for medical research.
The emails discuss fetal tissue like any other commodity such as sugar or rice, nonchalantly negotiating for fetuses up to 23 weeks old from elective abortions.
A heavily-redacted so-called “Research Plan” submitted to the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Institutional Review Board and approved in 2018 states scientists wanted 2,500 fetuses from up to almost the sixth month of gestation for experimentation.
How can we do this?
Decades of relentless propaganda have convinced us that what we are doing is perfectly fine.
And every single year, politicians from both political parties that support abortion continue to win elections.
Our politicians talk about how we need to spread our values to the rest of the world, but what kind of “values” do we really have when we have such little respect for human life?
There is no hope for America as long as this mass slaughter of innocent children continues to go on all across the United States.
Please share this list of facts about abortion in America with as many people as you can.
We need to wake people up while there is still time to do so.
Sadly, most Americans spend their days in an entertainment-induced haze and take very little time to think about the issues that really matter.
And if you think that the issue of abortion does not matter, you are dead wrong.
The blood of more than 60 million children is crying out to us from the ground where it has been spilled.
Yes, this article is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable, but it is the truth.
Isn’t it time that someone started telling the truth in America?
Why do so many Democrat voters believe in conspiracy theories that don’t match reality? Well, if you look closely at the news sources they read, then you can understand why. Take this case of the New York Times, a former newspaper, fact-checking Trump about his claim that Democrats support infanticide. Trump is wrong, claims the NY Times. But what is the truth?
In a Friday article, The New York Times highlighted the Republican leader’s video address during the 2025 March for Life rally in Washington, D.C.
The newspaper mentioned Trump’s appearance at the annual pro-life demonstration in a piece analyzing some opposition within the movement to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination for health secretary.
“At the march on Friday, Mr. Trump repeated false claims about abortion rights, vowing to ‘stop the radical Democrat push for a federal right to unlimited abortion on demand up to the moment of birth and even after birth,’” The New York Times reported. “Mr. Vance called Mr. Trump’ the most pro-family, most pro-life American president of our lifetimes.’ The crowd roared.”
Oh my goodness, Democrats are pro-life? They don’t vote against legislation that protects babies born alive during abortions?
The article continues:
Every Democrat in the U.S. Senate voted this month against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act introduced by Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla. The bill would have guaranteed equal protection under the law for “any infant born alive after an abortion.”
Under the proposed legislation, all health care practitioners present during the birth of an infant who survives an abortion attempt must “exercise the same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of the child as a … health care practitioner would render to any other child born alive at the same gestational age.”
Oh, so they Democrats do support infanticide. And this position of Democrat legislators isn’t new. In fact, Barack Obama also voted in favor of infanticide when he was a state senator in Illinois.
In fact, here is the New York Times (a former newspaper) reporting on it:
Both Mr. Obama and his critics agree that, as chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee in the state legislature in 2003, he led efforts to defeat a bill called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act.
“He led efforts to defeat a bill called the Born Alive Infants Protection Act.” in 2003. Oh! So this support for infanticide is not even new, it goes back over 20 years.
Back to the Christian Post article, you can see that these secular leftists really love infanticide:
Other abortion-related legislation that recently made headlines includes a proposed constitutional amendment in Virginia that critics say could establish a right to abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy.
In a 21-19 vote this month, the Democrat-controlled Virginia Senate approved Senate Joint Resolution 247 along party lines. The passage means that the Virginia General Assembly can weigh in on the proposal to amend the Virginia Constitution for a second time following the next general election.
They want to have the recreational sex with hot strangers, and then they don’t want to be “punished with a baby”, as old Obama used to say. Like children, they don’t want any consequences for their own pleasure-seeking. And they’ve never grown out of that.
It’s not just Obama. Many, many Democrat voters supported his rise to the presidency. Why? Because infanticide is actually totally normal for Democrat voters, and the only time they deny it is when Trump describes accurately what they have been supporting for years. Then suddenly they have to pretend like they haven’t been supporting infanticide – and voting for pro-infanticide candidates – for years. And they expect you to believe them, because they hope you don’t read anything except the New York Times.
In debates between Christianity and atheism, the Christian will often introduce a moral fact, such as “torturing little babies for fun is wrong”, as an example of a moral fact that everyone agrees on. The problem is that Democrats like Barack Obama, and his allies at the New York Times, DO NOT agree on this fact. And when you point this out to them, that’s when they have to start lying about it. And they just hope that you are dumb enough to believe them.
It’s very important to understand that secular leftists use moral language in order to sound like moral people. But they have no understanding of morality, any more than a cat understands the titles of books while walking around in a library. Morality has no rational foundation in atheism. There’s no such thing as objective moral values and moral duties on atheism. And no moral choices, because there’s no free will. And no accountability when you die.
If you’re still reading trash like the New York Times, just be aware that this is not real news. Its just Democrat party propaganda.
The right to life is being championed big time by the new Trump administration:
Donald J. Trump and J. D. Vance have done more in their first five days in office than just about any other presidential team in history. Whether it has been dealing with the border crisis, achieving key objectives in international relations, putting real brakes on various woke and DEI agendas, or standing against the radical trans and abortion camps, it has been amazing to see all that they have accomplished.
I like how my social media friend Robert A. J. Gagnon put it just moments ago:
Every faithful Christian should recognize that Trump just had the greatest and most productive first week of any President since at least FDR in 1932, almost a century ago. He is literally wearing out the leftwing Democrat-propaganda media by attacking on all fronts, for the good of the country. After four years of Sleepy Joe Biden, for whom a live unscripted press conference was almost as rare as a unicorn with wings, they literally can’t keep up with a 78 year-old man. After one week, Trump’s administration is already light years better than Biden’s ever was and infinitely better than a Harris administration would have been. It is not even close. Never-Trumpers should all humble themselves and confess that they were wrong. Those that endorsed Harris/Walz should repent in sackcloth and ashes for at least 90 days, and then take a vow of silence for one year not to comment on political matters other than to admit their grievous error. It turns out all along that the greatest threat to our democracy was … the “Democrats.” Who knew, except those of us who had been shouting it from the housetops for years, and were belittled and denounced for doing so?
But what has been really incredible and glorious to witness are all the pro-life initiatives and policies pouring forth from the new team in the White House. Here is a summary of a new article listing all the achievements so far:
Trump’s 9 Pro-Life Actions During His First Week:
– Scrapped Biden’s pro-abortion web site
– Signed order saying human life begins at conception
– Pardoned 23 pro-life Americans
– Defunded International Planned Parenthood
– Enforced Hyde Amendment
– Video address to March for Life – Stopped lawfare against pro-life Americans
– Endorsed Born Alive bill to protect abortion survivors
– Signed Geneva Declaration saying no right to abortion
Thank you @POTUS!
The article it was taken from ends this way:
Collectively, these actions during President Trump’s first week in office highlight a concerted effort to implement pro-life policies both domestically and internationally. By reinstating and enforcing policies that restrict federal funding for abortion services and participating in pro-life events, the administration has demonstrated its commitment to advancing the pro-life agenda. https://www.lifenews.com/2025/01/25/heres-9-pro-life-actions-president-trump-took-during-his-first-week/
Those achievements alone, in such a short space of time, are phenomenal. Sure, much more needs to be done, but we must never ‘despise the days of small beginnings,’ although these pro-life actions were far from small. So stay tuned for more pro-life legislation and policies to occur in the days and weeks ahead. And keep the President and team in your prayers, as the pro-death camp is going utterly berserk over all this.
President Trump even gave a brief video speech to the 52nd annual March for Life in Washington D. C. on Friday. He said this in part:
I am proud to be the first president ever to have joined you in person. As you know this annual March started 52 years ago on the first anniversary of the disastrous ruling known as Roe v Wade. That unconstitutional decision took power away from the states and the voters kicking off 50 years of division and anger. But thanks to your tireless work and devotion across five decades that historic wrong was set right three years ago. I was so proud to be a participant. Six courageous justices of the Supreme Court of the United States returned the issue to the state legislators and to the people where it belongs. It became a vote of the people.
In my second term we will again stand proudly for families and for life. We will protect the historic gains we have made and stopped the radical Democrat push for a federal right who unlimited abortion on demand up to the moment of birth and even after birth. Think of that: after birth. And some people want that – can you believe it? We will work to offer a loving hand to new mothers and young families and we will support adoption and foster care. We will protect women and vulnerable children. Under my leadership a reformed Department of Justice will finally investigate the radical left attacks on churches and crisis pregnancy centers and we will bring perpetrators to justice.
We will get them to justice one way or the other. I will also end the weaponization of law enforcement against Americans of faith and I’m releasing the Christians and pro-life activists who were persecuted by the Biden regime for praying and living out their faith. I just signed that document and they’re being released. One such American was Paula Harlow. At 75 years old Paula was sentenced to two years in prison after praying outside of a clinic. That’s why she was sentenced to two years. That’s what happened under the Biden regime.
In her sentencing the judge mocked her Christian faith while her husband pleaded to be thrown in jail with his wife fearing she would die alone behind bars. This week it was my honor to grant a full and complete pardon to Paula and many others who were the victims of this horrific weaponization. Never again will religious persecution be allowed to happen in America.
But it is not just Trump getting involved in the pro-life cause. The new Vice President attended the rally and here are some of his stirring remarks:
Thank you for having me, and it is an honor to be standing with you here today for a life. We are proud to march with you, and yes, we will be back next year. The excitement, the passion, the unwavering conviction that every single person here on the National Mall clearly feels it is deeply moving to me and means more to President Trump and I than I could possibly say.
For over a half century this March has united tens of thousands of Americans from all walks of life to rally for the cause of life in our nation It is the single largest gathering in the world to celebrate our movement the victories we’ve fought so hard for, and yes the victories yet to come….
By and large our society, our country has not yet stepped up in the way you have. And our government certainly has failed in that important responsibility. We failed a generation not only by permitting a culture of abortion on demand but also by neglecting to help young parents achieve the ingredients they need to live a happy and meaningful life. A culture of radical individualism took root – one where the responsibilities and joys of family life were seen as obstacles to overcome, not as personal fulfillment or personal blessings.
Our society has failed to recognize the obligation that one generation has to another is a core part of living in a society to begin with. So let me say very simply I want more babies in the United States of America. I want more happy children in our country, and I want and I want beautiful young men and women who are eager to welcome them in into the world and eager to raise them.
And it is the task of our government to make it easier for young moms and dads to afford to have kids, to bring them into the world, and to welcome them as the blessings that we know they are here at the March for Life. Now it should be easier, easier to raise a family, easier to find a good job, easier to build a home to raise that family in, easier to save up and purchase a good stroller, a crib for a nursery. We need a culture that celebrates life at all stages – one that recognizes and truly believes that the benchmark of national success is not our GDP number or our stock market but whether people feel that they can raise thriving and healthy families in our country.
Some of his concluding words were these:
With his return to office, no longer will the federal government direct FBI raids on the homes of people like Mark Houck and other Catholic and Christian activists who are fighting for the unborn every single day. And no longer will our government throw pro-life protesters and activists, elderly grandparents, or anybody else in prison. It stopped on Monday and we’re not going to let it come back to this country. Instead, and I know you all saw the news, the 47th President has already issued pardons to those unjustly imprisoned.
And I want to be clear that this Administration stands by you we stand with you and most importantly we stand with the most vulnerable and the basic principle that people exercising the right to protest on behalf of the most vulnerable should never have the government go after them ever again.
Now the crowd assembled here in this incredible National Mall provides an extraordinary example for our nation. You donate to diaper banks you help find housing for those in need you help fund the crisis pregnancy centers that give help to young women and young men in a time of crisis. You guys are the beating heart of the pro-life movement and you’ve saved many lives already and you’re going to save more again.
You being here at this very march is a reminder of the incredible strength and unity of the pro-life movement and from the bottom of my heart thank you thank you for being here and thank you for marching here today. And most importantly in your works you remind us that the March for Life is not just a single event that happens on a frigid January day – the March for Life is the work of the pro-life movement every single day from this point forward.
Now it is a lifelong call to action, a moment in time, but every single day that you guys do what you do from supporting young moms and dads to fighting for the unborn to working with our legislatures at the state and federal level, you make it possible for us to stand here and say that America is fundamentally a pro-baby, a pro-life, and a pro-family country.
So exciting things are now happening in America. Making America much more pro-life is an integral part of making America great again. I am so thankful Trump and Vance are now leading the United States of America, and not the pro-death Dems, Kamala and Joe.
Roe v. Wade was decided on January 22, 1973. In response, this day each year is proclaimed “National Sanctity of Human Life Day” by pro-life supporters. When Donald Trump was last in office, he issued a proclamation marking this day in which he stated:
Restoring a culture of respect for the sacredness of life is fundamental to solving our country’s most pressing problems. When each person is treated as a beloved child of God, individuals can reach their full potential, communities will flourish, and America will be a place of even greater hope and freedom.
By contrast, President Joe Biden issued a proclamation in 2023 affirming elective abortion, denouncing the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, and calling on Americans to “work together to restore the right to choose.”
Now that Mr. Trump has returned to the White House, advocates for life are hopeful. Since they are the most defenseless of all humans, any support for the preborn is welcome.
At the same time, this cultural moment is a call to each of us personally, an opportunity that extends to every moral decision we face today.
Reasons women choose abortion
Let’s begin with the reasons women say they chose abortion:
Not financially prepared: 40 percent
Not a good time: 36 percent
Issues with partner: 31 percent
Need to focus on other children: 29 percent
Interferes with future plans: 20 percent
Not emotionally or mentally prepared: 19 percent
Only 12 percent say they chose abortion because of a “health issue.” (Only 1.14 percent of abortions are actually performed for the mother’s life or physical health.)
When a woman aborts her child, she can typically do so privately: 63 percent of all abortions last year were the result of “medication abortions” rather than visits to an abortion clinic. As a result, presidential proclamations, state laws restricting abortion access, sermons, and articles like this one are unlikely to be persuasive when the actual abortion decision is made.
What is true of abortion is true of most of our moral decisions, from pornography viewed digitally on personal devices, to affairs arranged online, to “pods” enabling people to die by suicide at home: they can be made privately, away from the influence of government officials or institutions.
“Jews have no dealings with Samaritans”
You and I have a personal role to play in protecting preborn children, a calling that pertains to every moral choice our society faces today.
The good news is that it is a call every believer can answer in ways that save lives and change souls.
In John 4, we find Jesus in a conversation most people in his day would have found shocking. He was a Jew talking with a Samaritan at a time when “Jews have no dealings with Samaritans” (v. 9), a man talking to a woman in public, and a rabbi talking to a woman who has had five husbands and is now living with a man who is not her husband (v. 18).
Nonetheless, by the end of their conversation, she sought and received the “living water” of Christ (vv. 13–15) and was so transformed that she led her entire village to meet him (vv. 28–30), with the result that “many Samaritans from that town believed in him” (v. 39) as “the Savior of the world” (v. 42).
This story is in God’s word so we can make Jesus’ strategy our own. With regard to abortion:
One: Choose to care for women in crisis.
Jesus chose to go to Samaria (v. 4) out of his desire “to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). He loves each of us as if there were only one of us (St. Augustine), including women considering abortion.
No woman wants to be in this situation. The physical pain alone is significant, not to mention the emotional toll she is experiencing. At such a time, she needs the compassion of those who seek to help her choose life for her preborn child.
Two: Meet their practical needs.
Jesus went to this woman at Jacob’s well, knowing that she would never come to him. Given her personal circumstances, she would not have joined the crowds listening to him teach, much less sought to join his band of disciples. She came to the well for water, so he started their conversation with water (John 4:7).
In the same way, we can ask God to lead us to help women considering abortion, then engage in practical ways to meet their practical needs. If we do not know such women personally, we can still serve them through those who do. Pro-life ministries help women facing at-risk pregnancies with financial, relational, and counseling resources. We can support these ministries with our intercession, finances, and time, knowing that every life they save is an extension of our faithfulness to God’s call.
Three: Lead to the “living water” of Christ.
Jesus began with water and led the Samaritan woman to the “living water” found only in him. We can do the same as we pray for those considering abortion (1 Timothy 2:1), share our faith story (cf. Acts 22:1–21), explain the gospel (John 3:16), and answer their questions (cf. Isaiah 1:18). (For help, see my new website article, “Why would ministers ‘bless’ abortion clinics? How to counter popular abortion arguments.”)
Ultimately, we help them most when we help them meet Jesus for themselves. He alone can change their hearts and transform their lives.
What is true of abortion is true of other moral issues: When we care with the compassion of Christ, meet practical needs in his power, and lead people to a personal encounter with our living Lord, we become change agents on a scale that transforms souls and society.
In Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling, Andy Crouch writes,
“To be Christian is to stake our lives on this belief: the only cultural goods that ultimately matter are the ones that love creates.”
A recent interview on the Tucker Carlson show, which highlighted the use of aborted fetuses in vaccine research, is going viral. Clips from the interview, featuring medical freedom attorney Aaron Siri, have been circulating through social media, sparking conversations and debate over the unethical practices of researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and government agencies.
“In every single dose of an MMR (Measles Mumps Rubella) shot, there are literally millions of pieces from the cultured cell line of an aborted fetus. In every single injection,” Siri said. “Now, again, that might sound crazy, but I could literally pull up right now the CDC’s own ingredient list for the MMR vaccine.”
How are Aborted Fetal Cells Obtained?
Upon hearing this information, a visibly disturbed Tucker Carlson prompted Siri to elaborate on the process used to procure the cells from the fetuses. Siri explained that all viruses must be grown in cells. The ingredients listed as MRC-5 and WI-38 are cultured cell lines obtained from aborted fetuses. He stresses, however, that in order for a viable vaccine to be developed, the tissues (cells) must be “alive.” He added that those procuring the samples from the aborted babies must “immediately act to make sure the tissues don’t die.”
Stanley Plotkin: The “Godfather of Vaccines”
Siri went on to share information that further shocked Carlson where he described the research of one of the world’s most prominent vaccine experts, Dr. Stanley Plotkin. In 1988, Plotkin developed the standard textbook for vaccines titled Plotkin’s Vaccines. Bill Gates has called his book the “bible for vaccinologists.” Plotkin, who is an atheist, has been quoted as saying that he hopes his book is “more accurate than the Bible.” Plotkin has been a consultant for pharmaceutical companies for decades, offering advice on how to make their products.
In the past, Sirideposed Dr. Plotkin in court, where he testified about how the tissues of aborted fetuses are obtained. The apathetic Plotkin revealed under oath that one of the vaccine studies he presided over included over 70 healthy fetuses, aged three months and older. Body parts of these babies, including the lung, skin, pituitary gland, kidneys, spleen and heart were cut into pieces and then viruses were cultured on them to determine which medium could produce a viable vaccine. At one point, Plotkin snickered when asked if the tongues of the fetuses were used in the experimental study. To this question he responded, “I don’t recall, but probably yes.”
Siri continued, reminding Dr. Plotkin that that was just one experimental study where aborted fetuses were used for research. He asked if more babies were used in other studies. Without emotion, Plotkin stated, “I don’t remember the exact number, but quite a few.”
Siri probed further, inquiring “Are you aware that one of the objections to vaccination by the plaintiff in this case is the inclusion of aborted fetal tissue in the development of vaccines and the fact that it’s part of the ingredients in vaccines?”
Plotkin responded, “I’m aware of those objections.”
Siri fired back, “Do you take issue with religious beliefs?”
Plotkin answered, “Yes.”
Siri reminded Plotkin that he’d been quoted as saying that “Vaccination is always under attack by religious zealots who believe that the will of God includes death and disease.” Without batting an eye, Plotkin declared that he still stood by thar statement.
Experimental Testing on Orphans and the Mentally Disabled
Plotkin’s admissions under oath were sobering. At one point he acknowledged the use of experimental vaccines on orphans and the mentally disabled for testing purposes. Additionally, he testified that he made the following statement in a letter to the editor of ethics on human experimentation: “The question is whether we are to have experiments performed on fully functioning adults and on children who are potentially contributors to society, or to perform initial studies in children and adults who are human in form, but not in social potential. It may be objected that this question implies a Nazi philosophy, but I do not think that it’s difficult to distinguish non-functioning persons from members of ethnic, racial, economic or other groups.” Plotkin also stated he had used babies of mothers in prison to study experimental vaccines, as well as individuals who were under some form of colonial rule.
Siri explains in his interview with Carlson that when it comes to the development of vaccines, “A lot of times they like to say they only involved a few babies, way back when. So, I have a whole series in these depositions showing it’s not a few babies way back when. It was a lot of babies and it’s still ongoing. And this industry has only grown.” Both Siri and Carlson agree that babies have been sacrificed for health, as the pharma industry profits from abortions and fetal tissue.
Do Not Ignore the Facts
Dr. Theresa Deisher is the president and founder of Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute, a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization “with a mission to end human trafficking and exploitation for the purposes of biomedical research and commercial products.” With over 30 years of pharmaceutical research and leadership experience, she is well-educated on how human fetal tissue is used. In the past, she has appeared on shows like The High Wire, speaking about the inhumane way that fetuses are procured and utilized for scientific research.
Dr. Deisher reveals, “What you have are procurement companies, who are working side by side literally with the abortionist, typically right in the building. What happens with the heart is that it will actually go into this contracture, and once that happens, you can’t get good data from it. So, the tissue really becomes useless. It has to be flushed. It has to be put into a preservative that stops the heart within two minutes. The baby has to be born alive, or they’re not going to be able to get the heart and get it rushed and get it in the blocked solution so they can preserve it for processing.”
She adds that when a baby’s heart is cut out, he/she is not given any anesthetic. “I would never do this to a mouse or a rat. I would not be surprised that we might get some hard numbers not in the so distant future that abortions are delayed later and later so that the scientists and the procurement companies can get better late-term tissue.”
Which Vaccines Use Aborted Fetal Cells/Tissue?
Deisher’s website lists the vaccines which utilize aborted fetal materials (human diploid cells). They include the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Poliomyelitis (DTaP/TdP), Varicella (Chickenpox), Shingles, Hepatitis A & B, Rabies, and some Coronavirus vaccines. These vaccines contain “human fetal DNA fragments and cellular debris, and in quite high levels.”
On Deisher’s website, it states, “The United States government has known about the dangers of human DNA from aborted fetal cell-lines since at least 2005. They set guidelines which are supposed to keep the DNA at a specific limit, which they hypothesize will not cause cancer. There is no monitoring of vaccines by our government agencies to ensure those limits are adhered to. Vaccines (MMR, Varicella, and Hepatitis A) sent for independent analysis have consistently shown levels of human fetal DNA that are far beyond the ‘established safety limits.’”
Dr. Deisher continues to sound the alarm about using aborted fetuses in medical research. In 2019 she wrote an open letter describing the potential harms to children. She warns, “We absolutely know that the levels of DNA in these vaccines get into our children’s bloodstream at levels that are above sometimes 100-fold higher than levels of fetal DNA that has been demonstrated to massively activate the immune response, causing a general cytokine release and cytokines are toxins. And we are giving children 10 to 100-fold higher concentrations…The pharmaceutical companies have never measured cytokine release and they’ve never measured that acute auto-immune response.”
In 2023, Dr. Jim Meehan also discussed the use of aborted fetal cells in vaccines on The High Wire, stressing that many vaccines contain residual components of human DNA. He adds that even the names of the cell lines, which are denoted as letters and numbers, dehumanize the children who were sacrificed to “become the endless production substrate” for certain vaccines.
How Many Aborted Fetal Cell Lines Exist?
Other fetal cell lines are utilized for vaccines besides the MRC-5 and WI-38. The HEK293 cell line is derived from human embryonic kidney cells, while the PER.C6 line is procured from human embryonic retinal cells. IFA reported on the brutal origins of the HEK293 cell line and its link to the Covid vaccine back in 2021.
In 2015 a new cell line was created for use in vaccines known as WALVAX 2. It was taken from the lung tissue of a “3-month gestation female who was selected from among 9 aborted babies.” Specific guidelines were followed to “mimic WI-38 and MRC-5 in selecting the aborted babies, ranging from 2-4 months gestation.” Scientists described how they “induced labor using a ‘water bag’ abortion to shorten the delivery time and prevent the death of the fetus to ensure live intact organs which were immediately sent to the labs for cell preparation.”
As Intercessors, How Do We Respond?
The issue of aborted fetal cell lines in vaccines is of utmost importance. As intercessors, we cannot just sweep this information under the rug. During the COVID pandemic, people became more aware of vaccines and their ingredients. As light continues to be shed, this provides intercessors with an opportunity for deep prayer.
First and foremost, we should pray that God has mercy upon our nation for this grievous sin against innocent babies. Ask the Lord to specifically direct our response both individually and as the Body of Christ.
Secondly, we must pray for the people (lawyers, scientists, doctors, journalists, pastors, parents, etc.) who are informing the public about the use of aborted fetal tissue (cells) in medical research and products such as vaccines. Pray they would not be hindered, censored or canceled, as they bring this information to light. Also, pray for their protection as they do battle against a fierce enemy that wants the truth hidden.
Third, pray that the public would have ears to hear, instead of turning a blind eye to what’s happening in the pharmaceutical industry. Instead of putting faith in vaccines, pray that people would turn to Jesus Christ, the Great Healer, to protect them from sickness and disease.
Fourth, pray that the funding for medical research utilizing aborted fetal cells/tissue would run dry and that scientists/doctors involved in this research would repent and cease from engaging in this type of work.
Fifth and most importantly, ask Jesus to restore our medical system so that the products and treatments on the market are safe, ethical and pleasing to God.
Lord Jesus, our hearts are grieved about the way innocent babies have been used in the pharmaceutical/medical industry. Even though this information is hard to hear, continue opening our eyes so we can make informed decisions about vaccines and protect our children and ourselves, from harm.
