I am numbed by statistics. Saddened at the loss of life. More sad that those who choose most likely have no idea who is the giver of Life. It is the same in this country. Really. We just make it look more elegant and polish it with politcal angles and propaganda. So sad to not know when life begins....and more that we think some human has the authority to decide for all of mankind? Gosh - my wheels spin in frustration...my heart sags. So WND helps us to see what we, in this country, can help another country 'fix' when we cannot begin to approach the source of the same issue in our own country. Mission fields? Mine fields? The least of these? Brave? Safe? Safer to be brave in another country? hmmmm. so many thots. far, far, far too many thoughts – to collect, organize, and attach feelings/emotions.

It was truly incredible to see pictures of such a perfectly formed little baby, with fingernails and eyelashes, and it made me even more sickened at what our country considers a freedom, the right to choose. Thanks for working to shed light on this issue. Barry,

The pictures of the children are a reminder that there are faces that go with each one of the statistics. Thanks for bringing new light to this ministry and this issue.

When you see pictures like that the arguments for and against really boil down to something much more simple: saving lives. That is so awesome that the ministry has been a part of saving over 350 children! Thanks for sharing. Awesome post Barry.

Do we want to save human beings or win an argument?
