Back-Alley and Illegal Abortions |
|
Question: If abortion is made illegal, would tens of thousands of women again die from back-alley and clothes hanger abortions? Answered by Randy Alcorn  For decades prior to its legalization, 90 percent of abortions were done by physicians in their offices, not in back alleys.
Fifteen years before abortion was legal in America, around 85 percent of illegal abortions were done by "reputable physicians in good standing in their local medical associations."* In 1960, Planned Parenthood stated that "90% of all illegal abortions are presently done by physicians."* The vast majority of abortions were not done in back alleys but in the back offices of licensed physicians. Were these doctors "butchers," as prochoice advocates claim? The majority of physicians performing abortions after legalization were the same ones doing it before legalization. Neither their training nor their equipment improved when abortion was decriminalized. Either they were not butchers before legalization, or they continued to be butchers after legalization. It cannot be argued both ways. |

My wife and I became involved in pro-life work out of concern for women who’d been devastated by abortion. In 1981 we opened our home to a pregnant teenage girl. I served on the board of one of the first pregnancy centers on the West Coast, offering help to pregnant women who were needy, confused, and desperate. Our objective was to help women in every way possible. And the best way to help these women was to provide them alternatives to abortion. |

Excerpted from "Jesus Friend to Terrorists," pp. 91-92. A story is told of two brothers who once lived completely opposite lives. The older was a God-fearing man, good to everyone. The younger was rebellious, even violent. The older brother tried to influence him, but in vain.
One evening, while the older sat quietly in his home, the brother stormed in with blood on his clothes, shouting, "Save me if you can! I have killed a man and the police are after me!" |

Mon. Feb. 9, 2009 It started with a bunch of buses in the UK, and now we're going to start seeing it plastered all over the Toronto Transit System: signs advertising "THERE'S PROBABLY NO GOD. NOW STOP WORRYING AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE."
Here are my immediate problems with this campaign, and its being allowed to find its way to buses here in Canada. |

Ten Major Flaws of Evolution |
|
By Randy Alcorn (with additional editing by Jim Darnall)
 1. The complexity of living systems could never evolve by chance—they had to be designed and created. A system that is irreducibly complex has precise components working together to perform the basic function of the system. (A mousetrap is a simple example.) If any part of that system were missing, the system would cease to function. Gradual additions could not account for the origin of such a system. It would have to come together fully formed and integrated. Many living systems exhibit this (vision, blood-clotting, etc.). When you look at a watch, you assume there was a watchmaker. A watch is too complex to "happen" by chance. Yet such living systems are almost infinitely more complex than a watch. They could not be random—they simply had to be designed and created. |
