Some of my children are adopted, I'm so glad that they are alive. I am forever grateful to the women who gave them their lives and blessed me with these beautiful children and believe me, they are too. I think of Pharoh and the baby Hebrew boys, then too, Ceasar, when Jesus was born, if they had lost their lives as was planned, the world would have lost SO much. We are missing too many precious 'canceled' lives, who would they be? There are many empty arms waiting to adopt. Thank you Gershon.

Hadn't thought of all those angles, BJ, like Pharaoh and Caesar. Such a loss to the world --- all for what?! !

Tragic, all the deaths 'til now -- and all those to come, what with the nonchalant attitudes prevalent today.

Thanks for sharing this one. Did you write it or was it someone else? Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. I don't understand people's logic on abortion. Sara

'Logic' on abortion = Illogic. I.e., a fetus should have no rights under law. And anyone who disagrees with that is a 'misogynist-racist' who is not entitled to a job/an income, food or shelter: A group of 44 women lawyers in America just fired and disbarred someone from their group for expressing support for the reversal of the Dobbs-Roe Supreme Court. In 24 hours, she was GONE, cancelled. Frightening!!! Thanks, Sara

Yes, now I know, and congratulations. Great piece. Over 63,000,000 and we’re clamoring for more. Be well, John.

Those frenetic women are clamoring, shouting, screaming, demanding -- and canceling anyone who 'dares' disagree with their right to abort healthy fetuses. One of the greatest tragedy of our times, if not the greatest. Thanks, John.

death camp health care.

I'd laugh, but it's not funny at all... I used to teach a book that won all sorts of prizes, 'The Giver,' by Lois Lowry, (7th - 9th grade, depending on the neighborhood), which disgusted so many kids with its description of aborted fetuses in its ideal dystopian society. Imagine now: That age group would be cheering the process on, if one is to believe our 'experts.'
