NEWS January 22, 2002 Washington DC Precious Life Ministries Launches Preborn Christ      Amidst the March for Life, the new book, The Preborn Christ, was released.  For the first time ever, the life of Jesus Christ from conception as a Divine human person with a body that was a mere single cell zygote to the Resurrection is fully illustrated.  The story is told against a Salvation History background, beginning with a Passover celebration extending to Christ's Passover/Last Supper scene with an explanation of the Eucharist and His sacrifice as the Lamb of God that leads to the Resurrection.  Between the two Passover celebrations is a delightful celebration of life within the womb as lived through Jesus Christ and His telling of such to His friend Jeremiah.  Jeremiah is a little boy who had recently died in a cart accident and was brought by his Guardian Angel to Jesus at His conception.        The science of the human embryo was thoroughly checked by a bioethicist and the theology was checked by a theologian.        Former Congressman Robert Dornan (R-Cal) endorsed the book as the first authentic new approach in a long time that is brought to this struggle for a culture of life.  His comments, voiced on the podium as a scheduled speaker at the pre-March for Life rally and were simul-cast on the EWTN network.       For more information about The Preborn Christ see: www.preciouslifeministries.org   January 16, 2002 Book Release: The Preborn Christ - A Story of God in the Womb       Featuring pictures of Jesus growing within the womb of Mary, Precious Life Ministries will be releasing a newly published book entitled, "The Preborn Christ A Story of God in the Womb."         The Preborn Christ is a beautifully illustrated and deeply moving story of a little boy named Jeremiah who is traveling to Passover with his family.  The adventure starts when a beautiful angel brings him to Nazareth.  An endearing and exciting relationship begins for Jeremiah when he meets Jesus the Messiah, who is growing in the womb of His Mother Mary.  Jeremiah falls in love with Jesus his Savior as he sees and experiences the development of Jesus' human body.  With his angel, Jeremiah stays by Jesus' side through Jesus' Birth and Resurrection and learns the truth about man's Salvation.  This story will bring tears of joy to your eyes and heal broken hearts - it is a story of God's endless and everlasting love for us.  It will be one of the greatest treasures you'll ever share with your loved ones.       The book may be ordered for  $14.00 plus $2.00 for shipping and handling through the website for  Precious Life Ministries at: www.preciouslifeministires.org        The book The Preborn Christ will be release this weekend in Washington DC amid the Annual March for Life marking the 29th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized direct abortion of the preborn.  This decision was soon followed with Doe v. Bolton, a companion Supreme Court decision legalizing the direct abortion of all preborn through the nine months, including during the birth.    January 8, 2002 Photos of a Person in the Womb added to this website       Prebornchrist.org now has high quality pictures of a person developing in the womb listed under A Person in the Womb.  These pictures include copyright photos spanning the range of eight- to twenty weeks after conception at fertilization.  The pictures are provided by the Family Life Institute and the rights for republication are obtainable at a reasonable price and minimal conditions through their website http://www.lifeissues.org/orders.html  December 2001 www.prebornchrist.org Given New Look !     To mark Advent 2001, the website www.prebornchrist.org has received a new look.  This new look, brought to you by updated software, is not straying from its mission, rather will be able to better concentrate on its mission and devote much less attention to the technical aspects of running a website.       The mission is clear, to magnify the nine months Our Lord, Jesus Christ, spent in the womb of Our Blessed Lady and the Mother of God, Mary.  Also, to explore ways in which each of us may participate with Mary in seeking to be spiritual mothers to the Preborn Christ and birthing Christ into our lives and into this world.     We continue to be open to all criticisms, challenges, and suggestions on both the content and presentation of the material you will find at this site.  It remains our desire to ensure that all content is consistent, accurate and true to the Catechism and Faith of the Catholic Church.  As always, if you question any point, the smallest to the largest, please contact us right away so that we may follow-up and ensure the integrity and reliability of all material afforded to you on this website.     Know that all who stop at this site are prayed for daily.  God bless you.

[Risky Schemer]

So your point is: God doesn't mind babies being chopped up into tiny pieces because he hasn’t breathed life into it yet. He doesn't mind a sharp object being stabbed in the back of a baby’s head, because the 9 month old "fetus" just ain't alive. You are stubborn and are trying to justify this by using the scriptures, while in the same breath, bashing Jesus Freaks, one issue voters, and those who want a Theocracy. (Yeah right). THIS CHILD COULD VERY WELL BREATHE ON IT'S OWN, IF THEY WOULD LET GOD BREATHE "LIFE" INTO IT (according to you, it's not alive yet without this “breath”).

Wow. Another example of "you either agree with me that abortion is murder or you are pro-abortion and a 'baby killer'." I can only imagine where that kind of blind rage-driven thinking will lead.

Actually I already have imagined it. Like the mayor of Atown. Shot in the gut atop the wall.

I simply showed you where the scriptures indicate life begins at birth. Take it up with the Author if you like. I did not justify abortion, nor did I show you any scripture that endorses or justifies abortion (there aren't any). All I can imagine that's driving your rage is you see what I showed you as a threat to justification to control the lives of others through the "abortion is murder" excuse.

In short, a threat to theocratic political power.

I absolutely love your passion on this subject, Spooky. Thank you for PINGING me to this thread. I'm very much in agreement with all you said, and I applaud your efforts with people who don't want to hear the truth....

[Risky Schemer]

One obvious problem with your story as a metaphor for America is that in real life it is A town which is trying to coerce Z town into adopting it's values. Pro Abortionists are not satisfied unless every state, every city and town and every country shares their values and has abortion clinics.

Yep. Some on both sides trying to impose their beliefs -- by force -- on the other.

You remember Prohibition, don't you? Using thin Bible justification and "science," the temperance movement succeeded in, for a time, telling everyone they would not drink alcoholic beverages. It wasn't about morality, it wasn't about "caring," it wasn't about religious duty -- it was about the glory and satisfaction of the power of telling everyone else what to do, by force.

And it's the same today. Often an issue with two combatant sides, at loggerheads over which will get to hold the power and tell everyone else what to do. And make them do it at the point of a gun.

Repealing Roe v Wade and returning the choice to the states would be the obvious solution. However, in the real world, there's little "live and let live." Anti-abortion activists could not stand it if a single state did not outlaw abortion according to their will, and using "abortion is murder" as justification, would mobilize to pressure every state into outlawing it.

And whatever the motive of the pro-abortionists (a woman's body is her own, women will be forced into back alley clinics, etc.), I'm sure the ones like you describe would work to have every state legalize abortion.

I say the government should return it to the states, then make sure everyone abides by the policy of live and let live. If that's even possible.

"In short, a threat to theocratic political power."

errrr.....were we a Theocracy BEFORE 1973? You STILL have not answered my question.

I know the author very well. Life does not begin at birth. Any doctor will you tell you that. The baby is alive inside the mother with a heart beat. When the heart beat stops, the baby is DEAD, and she has a miscarriage. The opposite of life is death. The baby is either alive or dead in the womb. And since your hang up seems to be the presence of oxygen, again, I'm telling you the baby is receiving oxygen from the mother. Couldn’t that be considered "breath" of life?

MY RAGE IS NOT BLIND. I know what I'm talking about when I discuss the horrors of abortion, on a very personal level. I work with women who suffer post abortion stress issues at a crisis pregnancy center. The picture is not pretty. Up to 80% of women who have received an abortion(s), have emotional issues afterwards, often times, very severe issues. My sister had hers 10 years ago, and frequently calls me crying. If she didn’t have that option, she would have given birth, life would be fine now and my niece or nephew would be alive. Not to mention, a piece of my sister would still be alive. A part of her own heart and soul is dead now. You don’t get it do you? My sister is not alone. There are millions of women out there who thought abortion was the answer. (And 40,000,000 dead American human beings out in a land fill some where).

You twisted the scriptures and you twist God's word around to prove your point, and your point has no logic. Wanting a moral, civilized society where people are not robbed, murdered, raped, etc does NOT mean I want a theocracy. Do you want laws to protect the innocent or are you an anarchists? Do you know what happens to a civilization that allows abortion on demand? Guess who is next. The elderly, the sick, or the “imbeciles”. You could be next. I very much want laws to protect your innocent life. There is no sanctity of life. Life becomes meaningless and disposable. Protecting unborn children does not mean living in a Theocracy. Good grief, even PAGAN civilizations protected the unborn, and they certainly were not living under a Theocracy.

I've slept about 6 hours the last 48 hours. This conversation is over, unless you want to be the recipient of my exhausted wrath.

[SpookBrat]

Nice to see the both of you. I've missed seeing you around.

[Notwithstanding]

I am not sure just how God applied the merits of the Cross to the Mother of Jesus at the time of her conception. I do, however, know that with God all things are possible.

[mondonico]

Point of order--all babies are born with full sets of teeth. The teeth of most are covered by their gums. Some babies' teeth are visible at birth, however.

Got it. My back is better, so I'm of a mind to be a bit nicer myself. :)

[The Giant Apricots]

The Bible position is clear. Life begins at birth. (And new life begins at new birth.)

That's sacrilege.

In any case, explain how a preemie born 6 months post-conception is more alive than an in-utero prenatal baby at 6 months post-conception???

By the way, your unique DNA came into existence at conception, not before, not after.

[Risky Schemer]

The Bible position is clear. Life begins at birth. (And new life begins at new birth.)

That's sacrilege.

According to who?

[The Giant Apricots]

According to who?

Me.

[Risky Schemer]

According to who?

Me.

Oookay. :)

[The Giant Apricots]

So much easier than an extended Biblical argument.

[Risky Schemer]

Got it. I certainly can't disagree with you over what your opinion is. :)

[Notwithstanding]

Some opinions are more accurate than others.

[ganesha]

You are missing the point of my post. The story implies that they are trying to present a biologically accurate view of the life of Jesus in the womb. Since the pregnancy of Mary begins with a supernatural event, this would pose a problem for a scientific explanation. They could of course, just skip over the earliest part of the pregnancy, but the right to life position claims that life begins at conception. Therefore it is a legitimate question.
