A new poll says more than 80 percent of Americans support stricter restrictions on abortion. And nearly 60 percent say they think abortion itself is morally wrong.
You can read more on that here.
 Then you come across a video like this one, and see this love a mom has for her child. Look at how her face lights up during the happy news of having a child. She radiates. How her face grows sad when receiving troubling news or when her child becomes the object of unkind stares and comments.
Ahh, but then watch that radiance return. Her son, named Christian, is a blessing. She recognizes it, and others are too.
This is worth watching to the very end. Amazing, how the power of a story is so much more important that the glitz and glamor of some high tech production. This video is low-tech and it doesn't matter.
I promise it will be worth your time.
Life. Precious. Short. A gift.
It's much more than a cereal, board game or defunct magazine.

Women hurt by abortions to gather outside Planned Parenthood

 SAN ANTONIO, Texas (WordNews.org) Jan. 2, 2012  -- Women who say they were hurt by abortions plan to gather outside a Planned Parenthood in San Antonio, Texas, and urge abortion providers to show women their sonograms before receiving their informed consent to an abortion.
They are expected to gather outside the 104 Babcock site at 10 a.m.

The women who plan to stand outside the clinic say they were not told about the impact an abortion would have on them. They were not shown sonograms.
"I wish I would have had the opportunity to see an ultrasound, or information about fetal development, before my abortion at age 16. There are no words to describe the amount of pain, guilt, and trauma I experienced when I saw pictures of fetal development two years later," said Lisa Skowron from San Antonio. "I was horrified that the 'products of conception' and 'tissue' I had 'removed from my uterus' had had precious little hands and feet, and a beating heart. I felt like a monster. And I felt betrayed by the medical professionals I had trusted."

Is 180 film blackballed by billboard companies?

LOS ANGELES (WordNews.org) Nov. 22, 2011 --  A sign of the times?
Ray Comfort, head of The Way of the Master ministries and the creator of the film “180” which has gone viral, says three of the largest billboard companies in southern California have declined to allow him to advertising the film using their billboards.
Other companies that were approached haven’t returned calls.
Meanwhile, Comfort said, these same companies advertise “atheists’ mockery of god and the Bible, promote strip clubs and porn conventions.”
Comfort, who is Jewish, said one of the billboard companies is owned by a Jewish person who was upset that the 180 film compares abortion in America to the Holocaust.
