Ultra Sound Bill Passes Georgia Senate

This is an historic day as the Georgia Senate passed a sonogram bill that requires every woman seeking an abortion to have an ultrasound performed first. Nancy Schafer, author of the bill stated in her argument that 75% of abortion minded women change their mind after seeing an ultrasound of their baby!

The implications are huge because if Schafer's statistics are accurate then the bill would cut abortions in Georgia by 75%! The bill passed in the Senate by a vote of 35/17. But passage in the House is not assured. In order for the bill to pass it will require key Republican leadership. Most notable is House Speaker Glenn Richardson of Paulding County. His level of support for the bill is not know at this point.

Thank God and stay tuned for a battle over the next several days! This one is worth fighting for. Pray and call your Representative!

Saturday February 11, 2006

This was our first Saturday in front of Governor's Ridge and our fifth time there all together. Today was different because the traffic was a lot less but people were more willing to take time to talk with us.

Standing out front with messages and scripture about abortion causes a strong reaction in people. It is a spiritual thing. Many seem to like what we are doing but a few react very negatively. It seems that the negative ones have a story of pain and our being there is like pulling the scab off an old wound. There was a fellow in a truck there today who reacted this way. Clearly our message did not warrant his comments, agitation or extreme emotion. I just wanted to make him be quite long enough to tell him we are not condemning him for what he probably did or had a part in doing. I so wanted him to hear that many of us have had personal experiences with abortion too! But we have the answer to his deep hurt. The answer is JESUS alone who can forgive and make a person whiter than snow! God help that fellow please.

Clearly we need to be out here on Saturdays and other days too. One of the positive comments we got was word from a property owner inside who had no idea the board of directors refused our request to come on site. We were told about about a specific building which is outparceled and not a part of the the association. In other words it is not under the authority of the board. This particular building is adjacent to the abortion building! If this building owner will give permission then we can be in their parking lot and set up in their grass. It is 90% of what we have been praying for! This is huge. Please pray God's favor as we approach this owner!

In closing I just want to say that we need to keep at this. It is important and it is a spiritual battle. We need help. We need prayer! We need more people out front on other days. Come be a part.

Why This Blog?

We want to raise public awareness about this particular abortion clinic and bring like minded believers together in service with us.

The clinic is located in Governor's Ridge office park in East Cobb County. Most people don't even know it's there! We asked to peacefully assemble inside the complex around the clinic but the park directors denied our request. So we are currently relegated to the sidewalks outside the complex.

We simply want an opportunity to share what we know about abortion with those coming to the clinic. Many of us know about it first hand. Our hope and belief is that God will use us to save some lives and to save some mothers from making terrible decisions that have lasting consequences.

We are a group bound together by common faith. All who wish to join with us are welcome if they can affirm the same faith as ours. We post it here for all to see. To God alone be the glory!

Statement of Beliefs

What We Believe About God:

1.) There is only one God, creator of all things who reveals Himself in three persons: The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

2.) The Bible is God's Word and it's teaching is perfect.

3.) God created man in His Own image; man's original state and all of creation was perfection.

4.) The first man Adam chose to disobey God, thus sin and death entered the world rendering Adam and all of his descendants guilty, hopeless and under God's wrath.

5.) But The Father because of His great love sent The Son to die a perfect sacrifice in order to appease The father's wrath which is rightly upon each of us.

6.) This salvation is found solely in Jesus Christ The Son. For there is no other name under heaven and among men by which we must be saved!

What we Believe About Abortion:

1.) Abortion takes an innocent life; an act expressly forbidden by God.

2.) God makes no distinction between a person inside the womb and outside.

3.) Abortion is a great evil of hideous proportion. If it is not stopped we fear that God will bring judgment upon our country.
