Big Spring, TX - Sanctuary City (for the UnBorn)

Per KBST, 1490 AM - "The Mighty 1490" ...

Big Spring City Council Members urged to make Big Spring a Sanctuary City for the Unborn, 11/12/19 ... During last night’s meeting of the Big Spring City Council, several members of the public took time to urge to council members to make Big Spring a sanctuary city for the unborn.  This would require council members to pass an ordinance that outlaws abortion within the city limits of Big Spring.

Mark Lee Dickson said this at the meeting, “They [Planned Parenthood] kill babies, they prey on the most vulnerable.  I ask that you expedite the passing of this ordinance.”

If you could hear your baby say "I love you Mommy!" would you say "goodbye" to your precious son or daughter?

What about assault and abortion?

Man-on-the-street interviewer Ray Comfort has a super video on this topic:

From the Big Spring Herald:

Support for the ordinance was overwhelming, as half a dozen residents from the standing-room meeting spoke about their personal experiences, moving members of the audience and the Council itself.  When Dickson asked for a show of hands as to how many in attendance supported the ordinance, nearly everyone raised their hand.

In the early 1970's even the funny papers were Pro-Life‼  Have you ever heard of Eggbert?  Just search "Eggbert cartoon."

Abortion Answer

Last month the Supreme Court rejected Texas' regulations on abortuaries.  The real "killing fields" of abortion clinics were required to meet the same standards as ambulatory surgical centers (e.g. halls wide enough to allow gurneys through).  In addition, abortionists must have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.  Are these unreasonable rules?

Can judicial activism determine ethics?  Is it right to kill babies and sell baby parts for profit?  Most contraceptives are actually abortifacients.  Is there an answer for these tragedies?

Have you heard of the Billings Ovulation Method (BOM)?  In 1953, Dr. John Billings (d. 2007) discovered the relationship between cervical mucus and fertility.  This method of natural family planning has even been taught to illiterate groups with positive results.  In 2005, 18% of abortions were performed on married women!   This could have been avoided completely by using the ovulation method.

According to John Brennan (M.D. OB-GYN, Medical College of Wisconsin), "One of the most significant discoveries of this century [20th] in the field of human reproduction has been the development of this new natural method of family planning - the Ovulation Method. ... a woman is only fertile approximately 100 hours per cycle ..." [1]

Love and Fertility by Mercedes Wilson is an excellent down-to-earth explanation of the method and includes tons of helpful illustrations.  The Ovulation Method has been used in over 100 countries, is about 99% effective, has no side-effects and costs nothing‼  For detailed research supporting this technique see The Ovulation Method of Birth Regulation published by Van Nostrand Reinhold (also by Wilson).

RAPE

Rebecca Kiessling, attorney and pro-life activist, was conceived in rape and targeted for abortion.  You can hear an interview with her here (8-21-12 episode).  One estimate is that 4.7% of rape victims become pregnant.  Kiessling provides powerful arguments against abortion.    

The Scripture clearly condemns rape (Dt. 22:25-27).  Dr. Jack Wilke, President of Life Issues Institute and former President of National Right to Life has definite views on rape and abortion.  An investigation of 813 Planned Parenthood and National Abortion Federation clinics clearly shows that they cover up statutory rape.

Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop and apologist-philosopher Francis Schaeffer made an excellent video series on pro-life issues.  Here is an excerpt.

Your Name is Fluke!

Sandra Fluke has recently obtained fame as a birth control activist.  Sadly, contraceptives cause abortion and the death of a precious child.  The Billings ovulation method is a no cost pro-life solution to this issue.

In contrast to Fluke’s worldview, the Creator of the Cosmos tells us that children are a blessing, not a curse: 

Children’s children are the crown of old men, And the glory of children is their father (Pr. 17:6).

Don’t you see that children are GOD’s best gift? the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?  Like a warrior’s fistful of arrows are the children of a vigorous youth.  Oh, how blessed are you parents, with your quivers full of children! Your enemies don’t stand a chance against you; you’ll sweep them right off your doorstep (Ps. 127:3-5, Msg.).

Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying,  "Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people." … [Zechariah said] "And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, to give knowledge of salvation to His people by the remission of their sins” (Lk. 1:24, 25, 76, 77).

Marcelo Gleiser, Professor of Physics, Astronomy & Natural Philosophy at Dartmouth College, says that your name is FLUKE:

The study of earth's past history points to a startling fact:  we are the products of a sequence of environmental accidents that greatly affected the evolution of life. If this sequence had been different, we wouldn't be here.  As a consequence, to have evolved from simple unicellular organisms to complex multicellular ones and, ultimately, to thinking beings, was a real fluke. [1]

Astronaut Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14) disagrees, “… life in the universe was not just an accident based on random processes …” [2]

A brand new film, October Baby, offers a pro-life message, “Every Life is Beautiful,” and tells the story of an abortion survivor.  Abortion shows NO LOVE to the mother or the child.  If we are here for a purpose, who is the Intelligent Designer?  Also, what is Ms. Fluke's opinion on the Age of the Earth?
