I heard “Breaking the Silence: from generation to generation”. This is the most gut level honest program I’ve heard about abortion. It helped me have a really good understanding about chemical abortions. It was very powerful and very moving. I thank you greatly. God bless all who helped make it. God bless you all.
…
Very thankful for the work you are doing. Every time I hear life issues I remember you as a freshman at NLA.
Keep up the good work
Please consider the following insight on the topic of abortion with thoughtful reflection:
December 8, 2020 marked the 40th anniversary of John Lennon’s death. Had he lived, he would have been 80 years old. Lennon’s life and music deeply touched the lives of hundreds of millions of people across the globe. His sudden, tragic loss was felt by all who knew of him or his music. Ironically, this international model of peace and brotherly love, who meant so much to so many,
was an unwanted child from an economically disadvantaged background, left behind by his parents to grow up in the custody of his aunt, Mimi. Despite these hardships, Lennon ultimately found love and fulfillment in life, and we were all blessed by his music.
Paradoxically, had his assassin been a licensed physician who aborted John Lennon as a fetus, rather than killing him as an adult, Lennon’s assassin would have been monetarily rewarded for his actions rather than universally condemned and incarcerated in a mental institution. No one would have shed a tear for Lennon’s passing… the sole difference being that the world would have never known the genius of the man or beauty of his music.
The lives of unborn children are important. Not just to them, but to all of us, in ways we can never predict…
Please note: I am a university graduate in the field of Natural Sciences and hold an Associate’s Degree in Applied Science, Bachelor’s in Anthropology, and a Master of Science in Biology. Thus, I can say with scientific certitude that a person’s genetic makeup is completed at conception, rendering a living human being from that moment until the day he or she takes their last breath.
Brad–Yesterday on our radio station, you talked about rape victims keeping their babies and stats about that, surprising stats. Can you respond to me with that site so I can quote them for a Letter to the Editor of our locla paper in time for Roe V. Wade time. I want to use those stats and make sure they are accurate. Please give or lead me to your Friday, Jan. 7th broadcast quickly. Thanks.
