Pro-Life: The Radical Idea that (Unborn) Babies Are People Too!

YouTube Video Doesn't Reveal Truth About Abortion - cnsnews.com

"Last month, a 25-year-old woman named Emily Letts burst onto the national stage when her YouTube video, which appeared to show her own abortion procedure, went viral. Overnight, Letts was transformed from an obscure pro-abortion advocate to a media darling as My Positive Abortion Story soared beyond 1 million views and became the "headline du jour" for media outlets such as Salon, The Huffington Post, and The Daily Caller...While the video shows Letts holding hands with a clinic worker as they chitchat their way through the procedure, the video never shows more than Letts's face. We never see the knives, poison, or vacuums that may have been used to extract Letts's baby. And we don't get a glimpse into Emily Letts's life one year, three years, or even ten years down the road when the media storm has passed, the applause has ceased, and the reality of her choice sets in."

Five hundred years ago the pope assured us that the Natives Columbus "discovered" were human beings. One hundred and fifty years ago America was almost torn apart because some people believed (rightly so!) that black people were human beings and not just the property of their slave owners. And today, pro-life people are in the forefront of the battle to convince the world that the unborn baby - like the Native Americans and African Americans - are human beings worthy of rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
