Well, so much for the idea that pro-life pregnancy clinics are preying on young, vulnerable women with heavy-handed tactics like ultrasounds of fetuses. Apparently, even mature adults with long years of service to Planned Parenthood are finding ultrasounds to be compelling.
Maybe it's because one is brought face to face with life. Some find that disturbing. Some find that awe-inspiring.
Hopefully, this woman can now share her insights from the other side with the pro-life clinic she's helping now. After all, they've already shared one big insight with her.
'Tie our hands'

I made a slight blunder that has been brought home to me by two Grove City College professors, Dr. Gary Scott Smith and Dr. J.D. Wyneken, in their article “The Church and the Social Gospel.” I failed to articulate the Church's role in promoting social justice in my recent article “The Social Gospel and Eternity.” Their question is, “Should churches and individual Christians seek to help people with material problems and social needs, remedy social ills, and improve social institutions?”
Many are working to bring the disparity in sentencing between cocaine and crack to an end. Pharmacologically they are almost the exact same substance. Personally, I think the disparity should be reduced a bit, but I also think that community-based treatment for non-violent offenders should be used on a much larger scale.
