There's a lot of misinformation being communicated throughout our nation. Right up front we need to be clear. The intentional killing of a baby in the womb is not healthcare. It is murder. The Bible is very clear when it says that God hates the hands that shed innocent blood yet from coast-to-coast there are politicians that are making abortion the centerpiece of their campaigns.
Brad noted how research shows that over 95% of all abortions are done for social or economic reasons. This means they were not required for the life/health of the mother, rape or incest. Many women are also forced/coerced into having an abortion. So he believes we need to stand by and support women when they're facing an unexpected pregnancy and not tell them that the answer is to kill their child.
There's also a lot of misinformation being disseminated about the abortion pill. Although women are told it's not a baby, this procedure is chemical abortion. When the baby passes from their body they see this child and it's at that point they realize they were told a lie. This is causing not only babies to be victims but expectant mothers as well.
