This article is in this week's print edition of OSV, but it wasn't included on their website, so I typed it in. My apologies for any spelling errors.

We could expect this type of abortion/infanticide in Communist China, but in the U. S. A.?

[JMJ333]

I think we in the pro-life movement are asleep at the wheel. We've ceded the enemy too much teritory. We need to get aggressive and start using the best weapon we have against this injustice--pictures of the reality of abortion--a la Greg Cunningham style. I don't want to stand in front of God and explain why I was silent as this insipid moral evil continues in our country.

We're doomed if this kind of inhumanity is allowed to continue.

When you are dealing with agents of the UCC and ELCA, two dissolute and hollowed-out hulks of formerly Christian communions, pretty much anything goes. Your reference to communist China is not far off the mark with respect to these corruptors of the Faith

I am repulsed at the suggestion that an Evangelical Lutheran Church affiliated with a hospital condones abortions.........but then, the ELCA has adopted quite a few 'liberal' doctrines in the past few years........one reason I changed to the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod....

I would have gone ballistic were I the nurse who witnessed this. God bless her for what she tried to do, and for holding that poor little baby in her arms so it didn't die alone.

[JMJ333]

Her act was an act of mercy, love and kindness. We can do all things in Christ. :)

Agreed. Nobody can defend their disgust at the pictures. They say "you shouldn't show that because it's ugly or disgusting"- well why is it disgusting? Why is it terrible to behold? They can't answer that question without ceding the point that it is a mulilated human.

[StrictTime]

LCMS Bump...but watch out for newly elected pres. of the Synod, Kieschnick. He's a big church-growth guy, so it wouldn't surprise me if "popular opinion" starts influencing church policy. I trust this guy about as far as I can throw Co-X42...

There was a baby with Down's Syndrome who had been aborted

I'm opposed to abortion in all circumstances, but hearing the baby had Down's Syndrome, and the abortion had already occurred (what could the nurse do?) at least the baby didn't have to go through life disabled. If there's a bright side.

[lizma]

I think this should be more widley circulated

Abortion Is Four Times Deadlier Than Childbirth

Mary Maitland(sp?) use to have a radio talk show in D.C. She interviewed a nurse who had spoke at the Congressional hearings. The nurse said most of the women getting late term abortions were teenagers whose parents had just found out, not women with their lives at stake (It's more dangerous to have a late term abortion than a live birth.) How congress can listen to this and not be outraged is beyond me.

Sad that you think murder is the answer to disabilities. How about poverty? Should we murder the poor so atleast they won't have to suffer deprivation?

No, poverty is not an irreversible condition. But I do think the poor should receive *no* welfare...both as an incentive to get them to change their reversible condition, and as a way of keeping them from breeding more poor people.

[JMJ333]

Its really not up to you to decide who breeds or not.
