Some Questions to Think About as We Mark the 36th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade


1.) President Obama recently signed an Executive Order reinstating the U.S.’s funding of abortions worldwide. If we are in such a dire economic crisis (and I think we are…) how can we afford to give money to other countries for the purpose of abortion? Do we even have that money to give?

2.) If science is to be restored “to its rightful place,” how can it be used to justify stem cell research on human embryos but ignored when it comes to all the extensive evidence showing early stages of pregnancy and life?

3.) How is it that Nancy Pelosi can allocate millions of dollars in the bailout for contraception, stating/implying that children are more costly than the money used to prevent them? (It looks hopeful that Republicans can get this part of the bail out distribution changed.)

4.) How is it that more taxes are demanded “for the children” for education, Head Start, breakfast and lunch programs, after school programs, arts programs, and other programs ad infinitum and yet unborn children have no rights and are legally murdered?

5.) How is it that we have laws to protect endangered species (with high penalties for infractions) and the habitats they need, and yet we cannot protect unborn children?

6.) How is it we have laws to protect the environment, and yet cannot protect our unborn children?
7.) Is it a coincidence that pictures of aborted babies look strikingly similar to pictures of Holocaust atrocities?

8.) How can people who profess to be Christian be pro-abortion when the Bible clearly states God’s position on life?

9.) How is it that no one sees the hypocrisy in all these points of fact?

10.) How can women who have had children be pro-abortion? They have felt the flutterings and early stirrings of life within them; they have felt the kicks and elbows, felt the hiccups, and pushed out a new little life.

11.)What can I do to make a difference and protect unborn children?

A New Member of our Family!




"Sydney" our new puppy came home to our house on November 22, 2008! She is an Australian Shepherd and couldn't be more loved. She has grown since bringing her home, as all puppies do. I will try to post an early picture of her and one taken today. (I'm trying to figure out the adding a picture part of this blog.....) Anyway, she has fast become a part of our family. Chris and Natalie have Saturday morning training classes with Sydney at our local PetsMart--and Sydney is a fast learner. She loves to play catch and is doing well at learning to sit and to stay....at least most of the time! She and Natalie are buddies, and Natalie does the best with her when walking her on a leash around the neighborhood. Of course, Sydney loves and looks up to Chris, who promptly purchased a "football" to throw for her! She is still gated into our kitchen area, but has discovered the thrill of moments of freedom into the rest of the house. I'm not sure how much longer our gates will hold her in the kitchen area, we'll see. She also had her first bath last week (with both Chris and Natalie in the tub with her, well, just sitting onthe edge) and liked it for the most part. We are working up the courage to try trimming her claws...hmmm, I think I'll let Chris do that too! It was fun having her be part of our Christmas this year.
