Day 17~Unborn Children Are the Poorest of the Poor
March 1, 2013
There was a very steep pot hole on Perlman Drive, so John had some~
company as he set up for the 9 am shift Friday Morning.
To repair the road surface takes, tool, blacktop and human hands~
To repair the hearts of those who have lost babies,
taken women in crisis pregnancies believing they were helping,
working in the abortion business,
afraid to speak out because of ridicule or just silent because they do not know where to begin,
God is working with you
and for you
and eventually He will work through you if you give Him permission.
(thank you John and Carlos, Mary Ann and Nadine)
Thank you, John, for the pictures~

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced he will introduce the Reproductive Health Act, designed to update the state’s 1970 abortion laws. State Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D-Yonkers, introduced similar legislation in the state Senate.
• Stewart-Cousins and Family Planning Advocates of New York President and CEO M. Tracey Brooks joined an Editorial Spotlight interview to discuss the measure, which would realign the state’s contraception and abortion laws.
• Hudson Valley Coalition for Life co-directors Tom Faranda and Judith Anderson and pediatrician Dr. Antoinette Cosentino, opponents of the proposed Reproductive Health Act, joined an Editorial Spotlight to discuss their concerns about the proposal.

In my line of work, post-abortion counseling, I speak to women every day who are suffering and trying to make sense of why the right to abortion, which is supposed to be such a good, feels so wrong.
The truth of their experience and what they have been told by our laws and our society don’t jive, and so they are left feeling confused and wondering if they are the crazy ones.
As Gov. Andrew Cuomo shouts “It’s her body; it’s her choice” in his State of the State message, millions of women are left to mourn their unborn children and some unfortunately find out that the child they aborted is the only one they will ever have.
Where is the concern for those who have been left unable to bear other children due to “safe legal” abortion? Where is the outrage for the women who have died at the hands of abortionists? When an abortionist leaves a woman bleeding to death, is that not worth a piece of legislation to protect women, like informed consent or a waiting period?
Apparently not. To the contrary, Gov. Cuomo is pushing an abortion expansion bill, called the Reproductive Health Act, that would enshrine abortion as a “fundamental right” in our law and makes it untouchable at the expense of risking the health of women.
This bill could put women’s lives at risk by exposing them to abortions performed by non-physicians, removing criminality for coerced abortions that women don’t want, and foreclosing the possibility of any future regulation of abortion.
The often repeated mantra of “choice” rings hollow when the only acceptable choice is unlimited abortion, including late-term abortion, that all of us are forced to pay for and accept.
This legislation has nothing to do with promoting the health and safety of women. It has to do with politics and paybacks and money in an abortion industry that makes millions and millions.
If the governor truly cared for women, he would be putting legislation in place to protect them, and give them informed consent about the real risks of abortion. He would be putting money in his budget to fund alternatives to abortion so women faced with unplanned pregnancies have real “choices.” Instead he advocates for greater access to abortion in a state with the highest abortion rate in the country, opening the door for the destruction of greater numbers of infants and harm to greater numbers of women.
The women I speak to are not crazy. Abortion is not a good thing. They found out the truth the hard way. Abortion is no solution to a problem; it only creates additional problems. Women deserve better than this.

Continue the prayers and sacrifice for we need to pray harder than ever!
God Bless You for protecting the poorest among us, the unborn.
