Embryonic Stem Cell Research, Thoughts?

April 19, 2011 /2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

Though we usually focus on abortion, today I’m writing about the Washington Post’s embryonic stem cell research article. Last September, Timothy Atchison received 2 million cells (a small amount) developed from human embryonic stem cells in the effort to reverse his paralysis. He damaged the oligodendrocytes (they insulate the nerves) around his T7 vertebra. They […]

Heroes

April 5, 2011 /2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

I’ve decided to write about my current personal hero, Rachel Smith. You might have seen her video on Jill Stanek or Stand for Life. She has personally saved at least forty lives, that she knows of, in the last five months. You should listen to her story, I’m sure I’ll get some of the details […]

That time of the year

March 22, 2011 /1 Comment/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

Twice a year, for a total of 80 days, the sidewalk counseling scene changes. Today was, I believe, the 13th day of 40 Days for Life. It’s interesting how one organization can have such an impact. Sidewalk counselors, in my experience, have a hard time covering all of a clinic’s operating hours. Here in Tuscaloosa, […]

Stereotypes

March 1, 2011 /2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

A week ago, Jill Stanek’s weekend question was about one of my pet peeves, sidewalk counselors who yell. I’ve never seen an experienced counselor do this in person (and the only people who I’ve ever seen attempt it were immediately ostracized and soon went away). However, because yellers do exist, there is a certain stigma […]

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 15, 2011 /0 Comments/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

I realized that we haven’t posted any sidewalk counseling stories in a few weeks. Unfortunately, the past few Saturdays have been busy. It reached a peak on January 22 (anniversary of Roe v. Wade) which was fitting, I guess. They were still there when I drove by at 6 pm, which is about four hours […]

What are we doing?

February 8, 2011 /6 Comments/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

When the news about Kermit Gosnell first came out, I was appalled. I read the entirety of the 261 page Grand Jury Report. Afterwards, I tried to figure out just what about the case horrified me so much. Yes, he killed babies, but that’s what abortionists do. That he killed them a few weeks later […]

Gender Selection in Australia

January 11, 2011 /7 Comments/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

I’ve been traveling, so my post has nothing to do with sidewalk counseling. Instead, this article from the Herald Sun is about an Australian couple who aborted their twins boys, conceived through IVF, because they wanted a daughter. They have three born sons and had one little girl who died shortly after birth. Now, if […]

Sunny Florida

December 20, 2010 /2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

So, today I sidewalk counseled for the first time outside of Planned Parenthood of Collier County, down in sunny Florida. They perform abortions on Mondays, which is a tad inconvenient when sidewalk counseling. However, if South Florida is known for anything, it is for the retirees. The pro-lifers here are very active and they pray […]

Quiet Days

December 7, 2010 /2 Comments/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

This week was a quiet one. We gave out one pamphlet in the morning, but it doesn’t seem to have changed her mind. However, last weekend, when I was home for Thanksgiving, we apparently had a drive off. One young woman sat in her car for a long time before coming over to talk to […]

Twice by 14

November 15, 2010 /5 Comments/in Uncategorized /by AmeliaLinne

So, we didn’t save any lives last Saturday, but I hope we still did some good. We had one man come talk to us. He, his five year old daughter, and his mother had just brought his 14 year old niece to get an abortion. He had to take his little girl out of there […]
