Wow! Powerful testimony to the sanctity of life.

[RAT Patrol]

Wow is right. I need to read something like this. Thanks for posting it.

awesome! Let's hope the Lord will work more miracles today. CSPAN is broadcasting the partial birth abortion debate at 1pm today.

That brought tears. God Bless him.

Amen

But God gave me a gift that many of you as you stand and fight the causes that you believe in may never get, He gave me the gift of knowing that faithfulness to what you believe in can lead to wonderful acts and wonderful miracles.

Congratulations to my senator.

Now we know why he made that speech a couple of months ago, even though the Senate was empty.

I guess I should clarify my last post for everyone else - a couple of months ago, Sen. Santorum made an impassioned speech against abortion in an empty Senate house. Steve and I watched it, and wondered at first why he didn't just have it read into the Congressional Record. As he continued to speak, we realized that he cared so passionately about the issue that he wanted to speak, not just write. I hadn't realized there had been actual results from a similar speech years ago until this article.

One heck of a Seantor in PA.

Although this is off the subject of Rick Santorum, there was another passionate person who was forced (cheated) out of office - Bob Dornan. I often watched Bob talking late into the night about life, about morals, and most especially, about POWs/MIAs. Although we television viewers saw empty chambers, there was ONE who was listening very intently. God bless these men.

Thank you so much for posting this. I was going to post it but see it's already here. It made me cry. Thanks again.

[xsmommy]

that is a wonderful story, thanks for pinging me. i knew about his passionate prolife stance, but not the speech to the empty chamber.

[xsmommy]

Sen. Santorum ping.

This story also illustrates why counselling, waiting periods, and parental consent laws are important. Many women have abortions without telling anyone that they wouldn't have otherwise.

I'm proud to be represented by this man!

I can only pray that God has or will guide me to make such a spectacular contribution to humanity as he did the Honorable Senator Santorum.

Thanks for alerting me to this thread, XS.


God bless,
