Nicole W. CooleyAuthor of Into the Light: Rape, Abortion and the Truth that Set Me FreeIf the first four words of the Bible don't mean anything to you, it is probable the entire abortion debate eludes you as well. Without God, life has no meaning. Without God, there are no moral absolutes. Without God, human beings are on an equal footing with animals - or perhaps a lesser one since humans are not endangered (unless they are unborn). There IS such a thing as absolute truth. One example is the concept of gravity - it exists whether you believe in it or not. I'd argue the same is true of God. Human life is precious because a loving God said His creation was "very good" in reference to man. It breaks my heart that our pets in this country are treated with more decency than our unborn children. Until the tragedy of abortion is fully exposed, it will not end. - Nicole
President-elect Obama has pledged to sign the Freedom of Choice Act into law as one of his first actions as President of the United States. Charmaine Yoest, Ph.D., President & CEO of AUL Action, the legislative arm of Americans United for Life (AUL) has created "Fight FOCA". Click on the picture to the left to go to her website and join the petition. FOCA will overturn every existing law that limits abortion in any way. This includes parent consent laws, patient information laws, partial birth abortion, military health care funding, overseas funding, domestic funding, etc. It REALLY bothers me that Planned Parenthood has gotten away with giving abortions to underage girls –as young as 12 – who they KNEW had been raped and then failed to report the crime to the authorities. Instead they sent the girl back….in one case to another 7 years of abuse. We need MORE regulation – not less. We also need to enforce existing laws to protect women and girls from abuse – and the trauma of abortion.
If you do not know the truth about abortion, I encourage you to click on the logo to go to CBR's website. It is graphic. Pictures can explain the truth better than hours of rhetorical debate. Pictures were critical to ending slavery and segregation in this country as well. People had to see the brutality first before they were compelled to do something about it. I wish I had known the truth before I made the decision to abort my child - the single most regretable decision of my entire life.
This website has information on human engineering and the Elliot Institute's efforts to ban the abhorrent practice. They have also done a lot of research on the impact of abortion on women. See the related link on the Victims and Victors book link on the "Help, I'm Hurting" page.
The Life Issues Institute has the stated mission of assuring, through education, equal protection under the law for all living humans from the beginning of their biological life at fertilization until natural death. They produce the TV show, "Facing Life Head-On" that featured my story in the December 1 episode. The first pro-life organization in the United States, they have focused on education to change hearts and minds - a critical component to ultimately changing laws concerning abortion.
National RIght to LIfe was founded in 1973 in response to the Roe vs. Wade decision of the US Supreme Court. According to their website, "the ultimate goal of the National Right to Life Committee is to restore legal protection to innocent human life." Click above to go to their website which provides both information on all life issues - from abortion to euthanasia - and the tools for activism. They also publish an informative monthly newspaper to members which I also highly recommend. Their annual conference is informative and inspriational to rally the troops on the most important political issue facing the United States today.
God can move the hands of kings, and prayer can move the hand of God. I am personally committed to pray for President Obama. Membership in the online Presidential Prayer Team has been helpful in this task by providing specific areas for prayer as well as administration officials of the day as well.
