If it's not alive, why is it so hard to kill?

I have come upon this article in the UK where abortions are allowed up until the 24th week of--what? Pregnancy?--gestation. After this length of time, you must have a disability, a defect or the mother's life must be in danger for the doctor to elect to murder you. Oh, there I go again. Speaking as if to the child--er--the fetus (which BTW means "baby" in English)--is a human being. Imagine that! I always wanted a puppy! (If you don't get that, don't bother trying. You are too far gone.)

One in 30 aborted foetuses lives.

One in 30 foetuses aborted for medical reasons is born alive, a 10-year study at 20 UK hospitals has found.

Most of these babies with disabilities were born between 20 and 24 weeks of pregnancy and all lived for no more than a few hours.

Anti-abortion campaigners said the figures in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology study were likely to be the tip of the iceberg.

But abortion experts said such incidents were extremely rare.

Abortion rates

About 190,000 abortions take place annually in England and Wales. This is nearly a quarter of all pregnancies.

Most abortions are carried out on "healthy" foetuses for social reasons.

The study, however, looked at the outcomes of 3,189 abortions performed between 1995 and 2004 because the baby had a disability of some kind.

It showed that 102 - or around one in 30 - were born alive.

Julia Millington of the pro-life group Alive and Kicking Campaign said the rates found at West Midlands hospitals studied were likely to be mirrored elsewhere in the UK.

She explained: "If 102 out of 3,189 babies aborted for reasons of impairment are born alive, then how many healthy babies must be surviving?

"It is difficult to comprehend the number of babies, throughout the country, left fighting for their lives." [Continue reading.]

So. I wonder also. I wonder how many children are BORN in America only to be layed to die? Oh yes. They let the CHILD starve, crying for it's Mommy. I guess the 'women' who don't have time to bother with children don't need to know about this information. No. Only the info. from the EU that fits their agenda is noteworthy.

YOU ARE EXPOSED. I also wonder how many people will ever read about this study in America? The land of brave and the home of the free...life, liberty and property...God help us.

Update: My friend, Nathan Bradfield, has an open trackback every weekend. He was kind enough to allow me to share a link back to this article, and I forgot to mention him! How rude! Please, when you trackback to anyone, use the proper etiquette and mention them in your post!

His trackback for this past weekend is here. He has a wonderful site all week as well! Please check out his writings. He is a very talented Christian man. (BE POLITE!)

The Eagle Has Landed

Saturday was the day of the Gathering of Eagles, and what a day it turned out to be. Several people have taken amazing pictures, while others have written outstanding articles of the event. We are reminded that Saturday was the 40th Anniversary of some long ago protesters who showed up again, no doubt trying to relive their youth, to try to make a point. This they did.

The point they made was exactly this: No more will the silent majority remain silent while our brave men and women, our country, our freedoms and our liberty are under such grave assault. No more will the communists and Islamists rule our streets. They may rue them, but they shall not rule them!

Update II: My friend over at Red Hunter has more pics of the day. He lives right there in the battleground for American hearts and minds. The place? Washington DC. I know it is rarely referred to as such, but isn't it the truth? Is this the place most of the media pay attention? Why? To change our minds and discourage us about the GWOT and any program the Republicans try to implement. (Albeit the Republicans are terrible at getting their message out. Sometimes I wonder if they have one anymore!)
