Born Alive - this ought to infuriate you

"revenge is the Lord's…" and I'm still catching my breath

Some days it seems like it would be easier to approach this from an unsaved point of view.

Yup, your darn right it makes me angry.

Thanks for the posting!

Today it was so clear - it's been said before, but truly this was an impacting moment - "I NEED A VOICE, THAT'S BIGGER THAN MINE!" Babies, crying out - I heard this over and over in my head. EVERY ONE OF US should be standing up shouting "I WILL NOT BE SILENCED ANY MORE!"

This is heart breaking. Babies are considered an inconvenience. At what point are humans no longer an inconvenience? I was inconvenienced by someone at work today that came to a meeting unprepared. I do NOT have the right to kill him. I was inconvenienced by a slow driver. I do NOT have the right to kill him. Babies are not an inconvenience or a "punishment", as Obama would say.

Cry out! We need to be pouring ourselves into this cause. If we don't, we have no one to blame but ourselves. Vote Yes should not be struggling for volunteers or finances. Lives are busy, but they always will be. There are lives of babies that need a voice bigger than their own. Who will be their voice? Who will carry their message to the ends of the earth demanding justice for the shedding of innocent blood.

There was a baby born alive in a toilet and left to die on its own! What else has to happen before we say "NO MORE!"? After seeing this video today and hearing what I heard ring through my head I am compelled to speak out more than I was before. I don't care if people get sick of my soap box. I'm not getting off of it until this ends.

Isaiah 46:3
"You, whom I have upheld since you were conceived…"
Friends, I ask you, If God has upheld everyone of us since we were conceived, who are we to redefine at which time we are capable of holding up each other? At which time after conception is it OK to no longer hold up that life?

Thank you Steve for sharing the video…it is a reminder for us to rise up with dunamis conviction.

I find it curious that those that talk about killing a twin in order to save a life kill 500 babies a year born alive because of abortions? If the abortion was never an option as birth control the baby would have lived a normal life. I say that ticks me off! The child never has a right to chose but has the right to die or be born under circumstances in an attempted murder. That ticks me off!

Jared, the twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome in the "Campaign for UNhealthy Families" ad is a rare condition that used to typically kill both babies. What would happen is that one baby would be getting more and more blood from the shared placenta, and his heart would enlarge. The other one would have stunted growth and problems that come with this. After viability, doctors can deliver the babies prematurely and save both of them, but it involves a NICU stay and the health issues of prematurity. There are also a number of treatments doctors can do to help offset the damage, and non-invasive surgery can be attempted to correct at least part of the underlying problem.

Some doctors feel that it's better to give one of the twins a higher survival possibility by just cutting off the entire blood supply to the weaker twin.

I'm not clear on how the South Dakota law would impact TTTS, but it certainly wouldn't prevent doctors from doing any of the treatments to try to save both twins. I'm not sure if it would ban the procedure that kills one twin to try to increase the other twin's survival chances.

What I do know is that "Campaign for UNhealthy Families" is shamelessly using that couple. I'm betting that NOBODY has told them that there were other treatment possibilities, either prior to the abortion of one of their sons, or afterward. Though it is possible that they are just very proabortion and are knowingly lying. I can't say. All I can say for sure is that "Campaign for UNhealthy Families" IS lying to the public. I can't say if they lied to the couple or not.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did. Nobody in the prochoice movement ever bothered to tell Bill and Karen Bell that their daughter didn't have an illegal abortion, that the "abortion" on the autopsy report was a miscarriage that Becky suffered while she was dying of pneumonia. So there's no reason to believe that they'd correct this couple's misconception if they believed that aborting one twin was the only way to treat TTTS.

Is there a way to post this to a facebook website to get the word out even more?

Stephanie, there's a green button at the top of the video screen. It gives you the choice of grabbing the embed code or grabbing the URL. I think for FaceBook grabbing the URL will work fine.
