Encouraging News


The latest results of the Gallup poll reports that for the first time since they began polling:
51% of Americans identify themselves as Pro-Life...up from 44% a year ago!
Cal Thomas reports, "Younger people are taking a fresh look at the issue and embracing the moral argument that all life is sacred, whatever its status." He also writes in his recent article that the dramatic shift comes "because of the tireless efforts by pro-lifers through pregnancy help centers, sonograms, testimonies of women who regret having an abortion..."
Names of many of our friends come to mind...Ann Caldwell, Carol Martin, Stephanie Wharton, Pat Lindley, Peggy Lowe, Gloria Gerow and many, many more who are not afraid to speak up AND put time and actions behind the rhetoric.
Today I have the privilege of supporting another foster mother, as she loving nurtures the little ones in her care through Bethany Christian Services. It's one thing to tell a girl to not abort her baby, but I'm thankful for the actions behind the slogan CHOOSE LIFE offering the support to those who find themselves in a crisis pregnancy.
"Jesus said Feed my lambs." (John 21:15)
