FROM DEATH ANGEL TO GUARDIAN ANGEL

HEARTCRY MISSIONARY SOCIETY
A Portrait of Grace
HEARTCRY MISSIONARY SOCIETY, MARCH-APRIL 1999
From Death Angel
to Guardian Angel

The following testimony comes from an elderly Christian
woman who attends the Hungarian mission started by Jeno
Madnagy, a HeartCry missionary to the Hungarian commu-
nity in Romania.

Before my conversion, I worked as an
abortionist in a government clinic. I have
killed babies with my own hands. I have
helped the doctors kill babies and this is
a shameful thing. I was a terrible per-
son, but by the grace of God I began to
realize that the thing I was doing was
wrong. When I became a Christian I tried
to find a way out of the clinic. I would
pray to God with great sorrow, because I
would look at my hands and realize that
they were dirty with the blood of the chil-
dren I had killed. I had become God's
child, but I had also killed God's chil-
dren. I knew that it was one of the great-
est sins in the world. I asked God to for-
give me so many times, but I realized that
I had to stop doing this terrible crime be-
fore He would forgive me. I finally went
to the people who were over me and told
them that there was no way that I would
ever work again in a place that killed and
slaughtered babies. I was so poor that
losing my job could mean going hungry,
but I did not care anymore. I could not
kill again regardless of what happened
to me. To my surprise my superiors did
not fire me, but transferred me to an or-
phanage to help little children who had
no parents. I was overwhelmed with joy
because I saw that God had given me a
new life and a new chance. Even though
I had killed God's little children, He for-
gave me and placed more of His little
children into my hands.

George Tiller Murdered

This evening I heard the news that the abortionist, Dr. George Tiller, had been murdered. This is a tragedy for several reasons, but I'll list two. Firstly, that the man seems to have died in his sins, without coming to salvation. If that's the case, he is now in hell, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone. His murder is also a tragedy because it serves to reinforce the stereotype that pro-lifers are rabid fanaticists. The killer will be lumped in with sincere Christians who are trying to preserve the lives of unborn children, and who would never think of murdering someone--not even an abortionist devoid of conscience. Here is today's post from Jill Stanek:

Dr. George Tiller, late-term abortionist, was murdered today just after 10 am in the lobby of Reformation Lutheran Church in Wichita, KS, where he and his wife were active members.

Through his attorneys, his family has issued a statement.

Professor Robert George of Princeton has also issued a statement on National Review regarding this tragic disregard for human life, with which we voice our agreement:

Whoever murdered George Tiller has done a gravely wicked thing. The evil of this action is in no way diminished by the blood George Tiller had on his own hands. No private individual had the right to execute judgment against him. We are a nation of laws. Lawless violence breeds only more lawless violence. Rightly or wrongly, George Tiller was acquitted by a jury of his peers. "Vengeance is mine, says the Lord." For the sake of justice and right, the perpetrator of this evil deed must be prosecuted, convicted, and punished.

By word and deed, let us teach that violence against abortionists is not the answer to the violence of abortion. Every human life is precious. George Tiller's life was precious. We do not teach the wrongness of taking human life by wrongfully taking a human life. Let our "weapons" in the fight to defend the lives of abortion's tiny victims, be chaste weapons of the Spirit.

Our prayers are with the family of Dr. George Tiller during this difficult time of loss.

My Body - My Choice...?

The preborn child has her own space capsule - the Amniotic Sac...

She has her own lifeline - the Umbilical Cord, and...

She has her own Nourishment and Excretory System - the Placenta.

These all belong to the child herself and not to her mother. All these organs and systems developed from the child's own original fertilized cell.

What about your child's Choice to Live?

Laos Won't Execute Pregnant Prisoner

Laos won't execute pregnant prisoner

Well, here's an interesting one, from Laos, where abortion except to save the life of the mother is illegal. According to CNN:

A British woman facing possible execution in Laos will escape the death sentence because she is pregnant....

The country's criminal law prohibits courts from sentencing pregnant women to death.... The woman's trial... is likely to happen next week.

Samantha Orobator, 20, was facing death by firing squad for drug trafficking.... She was arrested August 5....

Orobator was alleged to have been carrying just over half a kilogram (about 1lb) of heroin.... Those found guilty of carrying that amount normally face the death penalty....

So here we have a case of a preborn baby saving the life of the mother. If the mom aborts her baby, she'll be aborted.

What if this were America? What if a mother on death row wants to abort her baby? An execution would take care of that. But to my knowledge every state disallows execution of pregnant women (why?), while at the same time allowing pregnant women to execute their babies.

Legalized abortion sure complicates things.

Abortion Is Forever

Thanks to Christina at REAL CHOICE who posted this today from the original source at Ashli's blog, The S.I.C.L.E. Cell:

"Another moment brought to you by abortion...

Today at around 3:08 PM in Florida, you would have found me pulled over on the side of the road with my face buried in my hands as I gasped for oxygen and very audibly sobbed, because my very challenging son, who was diagnosed with autism at 8 and who had just had yet another public episode, innocently asked me if I wished I would have aborted him.

I was not prepared for this question. It felt like the whole of my viscera had been pulled through my navel in one neat tug, and I started weeping inconsolably. Not because there was any truth to his statement, but because I killed his brother or sister, my first child, in a second trimester abortion.

I was crying, my startled four-year-old was crying, my son was confused...

This is where we are 12 years later.

Abortion is forever."

A Pro-Life Poem from the First Century B.C.?

This is an excerpt from a poem, Amores, by a Roman poet known as Ovid written around 16 B.C.:

Against themselves if they knew arms employ

And madly with new wounds their lives destroy?

The cruel mother who did first contrive

Her babe to butcher ere 'twas scarce alive,

Who thus from nature's tender dictates swerv'd,

To perish by her proper hands deserv'd.

Why do the sex forget their softness? why

Such projects for a foolish fancy try?

The belly must be smooth, no wrinkle there

To shock the lover's wanton glance appear;

His touch as well as sight they fain would please,

And the womb early of its burden ease.

Had woman sooner known this wicked trade,

Among the race of men what havock had they made.

Mankind had been extinct, and lost the seed,

Without a wonder to restore the breed,...

Ah, vile invention, ah, accurs'd design,

To rob of rip'ning fruit the loaded vine

Ah, let it grow for nature's use mature,

Ah, let it its full length of time endure;

'Twill of itself, alas! too soon decay,

And quickly fall, like autumn leaves, away

Why barb'rously dost thou thy bowels tear

To kill the human load that quickens there?

On venom'd drugs why venture, to destroy

The pledge of pleasure past, the promis'd boy?

Medea, guilty of her childrens' blood,

The mark of ev'ry age's curse has stood.

Sex-Selective Abortion--Video

"In many Asian cultures, little girls are considered a burden rather than a blessing. This has led to all manner of atrocities like sex-selective abortion and even infanticide of infant girls in favor of boys. Steven W. Mosher talks about how this practice is coming to the United States, and how feminist groups are doing nothing about it." Population Research Institute

Prayer Request: Shocking!

Even the greedy bankers take a break for Good Friday, but not Planned Parenthood and the wickedly depraved abortionists! It's all about the money and murder! Here's a prayer request that I received this morning from Sarah, a faithful voice pleading for the unborn:

"It is Good Friday and the Building For Women in Duluth MN. is open for killing babies today.

Please Pray during the day, the killing begins in the afternoon but the
mothers come during the morning hours to get tests done before the abuse and
slaughter of the children.

Pray for the gospel to be given and God to lead the counselors in what to
say.
Pray for the parents of these little ones condemned to die, that God might
soften their hearts and minds and give them the fear of God to turn away
from this evil deed.
Pray for the salvation of souls. "

Mother Gives Birth to Girl After Nine-Month Ectopic Pregnancy, No Abortion

by Steven Ertelt
LifeNews.com Editor
June 2, 2008

Canberra, Australia (LifeNews.com) -- Ask most pro-life advocates whether abortion should be allowed in cases to protect the mother's life and they'll cite instances such as an ectopic pregnancy to justify their position. In an amazing development, one Australian mother delivered a healthy baby girl after going through a nine-month ectopic pregnancy.

An ectopic pregnancy involves situations where the developing unborn child implants into some other tissue other than the uterine wall, where a baby normally develops during pregnancy.

Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the Fallopian tube and are otherwise known as tubal pregnancies, but implantation can also occur in the cervix, ovaries, and abdomen.

When an ectopic pregnancy occurs, the developing baby can sometimes implant in an area that adversely affects a woman's blood vessels and causes bleeding that could become life-threatening.

An ectopic pregnancy that presents life and health issues may result in the need for surgical intervention such as a laparotomy. In other extremely rare cases, like that of Meera Thangarajah, that's not necessary.

For nine months, Thangarajah carried her baby Durga in her ovary instead of her uterus. Following a Caesarean birth, both mother and baby are fine.

Doctors are calling Durga a miracle baby and say the chances of both mother and baby surviving are a million to one.

"This form of pregnancy is rare enough, but to have it go full term is unheard of," obstetrician Andrew Miller told the London Daily Mail. "I have never come across it in any hospital. It truly is a miracle she got a living baby out of it - she's extraordinarily lucky."

He told the newspaper that Thangarajah is lucky the ovary did not stretch and break and result in fatal internal bleeding.

Professor James Walker, spokesman for the British Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, told the Daily Mail that both are "very lucky."

"Not a lot of them will get to term - no more than one in a million and maybe even less than that," he said.

Neither doctors nor the couple expected anything other than a normal pregnancy and it wasn't until the planned Caesarian began that they discovered something amiss.

Britain May Allow Abortion Advertising on Radio, Television, for the First Time

London, England (LifeNews.com) -- Under a new proposal, television viewers and radio listeners could be subjected to ads for the first time advertising abortions. The Committee of Advertising Practice and the Broadcast Committee on Advertising Practice are behind the potential rules changes that could take effect next year.

Pro-life groups are opposed to the idea, which would also allow ads from pregnancy centers but with restrictions.

“We feel this is a wholly damaging proposal," Paul Tully, general secretary of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, says. “It will work against the long-term health of women.”

The proposal says pregnancy centers can advertise but only if their ad “makes clear whether the service refers women for abortion,” because “for those women who opt for it, delay in performing an abortion could result in medical complications.”

The new advertising rules could pave the way for Marie Stopes International, the large British-based abortion business, to begin television advertisements promoting abortions.

MSI spokeswoman Emily James confirmed the abortion business would be interested in advertising, saying, “It isn't about promotion, it’s about raising people’s awareness."

Without the television and radio commercials, MSI relies on magazines, taxi and bus ads, and advertising through alternatives newspapers.

The Advertising Standards Authority, which administers the advertising rules, is allowing public comment on the proposals through June 19.

The authority told the Independent that it didn't think abortion ads would wind up airing.

"The proposed rule on pregnancy advisory services would, in theory, allow abortion clinics to advertise," a representative said. "However, as this service is normally accessed via a referral from a GP or hospital, it is unlikely that we are going to start seeing ads for them."

The agencies say they are responding to news that British teenage pregnancy rates are on the rise. As such, they also plan to relax rules against showing advertising for condoms before the current 9:00 p.m. cutoff.

They received a request for the new ad rules from the Independent Advisory Group on Sexual Health.

Questions For A Pro Death President

I found this today on Ashley's blog, and wanted to share it. These are some good questions posed by John Piper to ProDeath presidents...

Desiring God Blog
Being Pro-Life Christians Under a Pro-Choice President
Posted: 20 Jan 2009 01:08 AM CST
(Author: John Piper)

That is the title of a sermon I preached January 17, 1993, three days before Bill Clinton was inaugurated president. It is just as relevant—or more—today.

The text was 1 Peter 2:17, "Honor the king." I closed with eight ways to honor a pro-choice president. The seventh was this:

• We will honor you by expecting from you straightforward answers to straightforward questions. We would not expect this from a con-man, but we do expect it from an honorable man.

For example,

• Are you willing to explain why a baby's right not to be killed is less important than a woman's right not to be pregnant?
  
• Or are you willing to explain why most cities have laws forbidding cruelty to animals, but you oppose laws forbidding cruelty to human fetuses? Are they not at least living animals?
  
• Or are you willing to explain why government is unwilling to take away the so-called right to abortion on demand even though it harms the unborn child; yet government is increasingly willing to take away the right to smoke, precisely because it harms innocent non-smokers, killing 3,000 non-smokers a year from cancer and as many as 40,000 non-smokers a year from other diseases?
  
• And if you say that everything hangs on whether the fetus is a human child, are you willing to go before national television in the oval office and defend your support for the "Freedom of Choice Act" by holding in your hand a 21 week old fetus and explaining why this little one does not have the fundamental, moral, and constitutional right to life? Are you willing to say to parents in this church who lost a child at that age and held him in their hands, this being in your hands is not and was not a child with any rights of its own under God or under law?
  

Perhaps you have good answers to each of these questions. We will honor you by expecting you to defend your position forthrightly in the public eye.

You have immense power as President of the United States. To wield it against the protection of the unborn without giving a public accounting in view of moral and scientific reality would be dishonorable. We will honor you by expecting better.
