Wednesday Open Thread: "Unwanted" Pregnancies
Wednesday, April 16th, 2008
If you've been reading this blog (or other pro-life/pro-choice blogs for that matter) , you may be under the impression that there is little "common ground" between "pro-life" people and "pro-choice" people. However, this is not true.
One thing that both sides can agree on (I believe) is that we both want to reduce "unwanted" pregnancies.
That leads to the question . . .
What makes a pregnancy "unwanted"?
Assuming we want to reduce the number of abortions (which both sides can also agree upon for the most part), if and when a woman becomes pregnant with an "unwanted" pregnancy, what can be done to help her no longer look upon her pregnancy as an "unwanted" pregnancy, but a "wanted" pregnancy?
Thanks and God Bless,
Roger

It looks like this week is the week for Aurora City Council members to be in the news. Three of our distinguished Aldermen made headlines this week (so far). Rick Lawerence, Stephanie Kifowit and Chris Beykirch.
One night last February, a 21-year-old college student named Edrica Goode fell severely ill. Her mother and her sister, a registered nurse, couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. Nor could the hospital where they took her.
Yesterday, we marked the 35 "anniversary" of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision - Roe v. Wade. Planned Parenthood "celebrated" the day, while we in the pro-life community solemnly note the day with prayers and action - March for Life, prayer services, etc.
I guess I’m naïve but I don’t understand why the city fought so hard to keep the truth from surfacing in the zoning issue with the Planned Parenthood facility. I, for one, would like to see the truth brought out—whatever that may be.
Ok, so what's it going to be this year? And how long is it going to last?
A couple of developments from the Aurora City Hall today:
