David Law 2148 Woodgate Ct. Columbus, OH 43229 614-373-4917 In the early 1960’s prayer was taken out of our public school systems. That was the only moral teaching some kids ever received. Those early laws came out of the experiences of the early American settlers’ concern for the civil atrocities of Europe (for example, the Spanish Inquisition). In 1642 The Old Deluder Satan Act was the first public school law enacted in America. That law declared: it being one chief project of that old deluder, Satan, to keep men from the knowledge of Scriptures as in former times. (Education and Founding Fathers by David Barton). For centuries following this first law, this Bible centered approach was universally embraced in America. Since our country was founded on the teaching of Bible verses to our students, I would like to read a few that are prolife. (see attached sheet) The shedding of innocent blood is called “an abomination to God” (KJV). God took ancient Israel away from the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (Exodus 3:8). They practiced child sacrifice to the gods of Baal and Molech, burning their children alive. God hates the hands that shed innocent blood. (Proverbs 6:17) What is more innocent than an unborn baby? “Fetus” is a Latin word for “baby.” The Nazis dehumanized the Jews and others targeted for extermination by calling them “parasites,” “bacilli,” and “useless eaters.” Today prochoice advocates call babies “blobs of tissue” and “products of conception,” and women are lied to by their boyfriends, husbands, doctors, and some clergy who call themselves “prochoice” which means “prodeath.” God took Israel away from the Jews when they turned away from God (1 Kings 11:7) by engaging in the same child killing practices of the Ammonites who preceded them – Solomon built a “high place” for Molech, the abominable idol of the Amorites. What will God do to America for killing almost 58 million of our innocent babies?? As for the Supreme Court, they upheld slavery in the Dred Scott case in 1857. It didn’t last. Neither will Roe v Wade last. 93% of women regret their abortions according to Dr. David Reardon in his book Aborted Women: Silent No More. Abortion kills one victim and wounds another, every time. Please refer to the document I’ve included titled “So you’re going to have an abortion.” I’d like to read some highlights from this document. Prolife Scripture Texts (Anything in parentheses is commentary, not the actual scripture.) Quoted from: NASB (New American Standard Bible); NKJ (New King James); and NIV (New International Version). The Baby Psalms 139:13-16 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. 14 I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; 16 Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.

And I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name. 7 But he said to me, 'Behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and now you shall not drink wine or strong drink nor eat any unclean thing, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.'"(Samson was dedicated to God even "from the womb", before birth) NASB Job 3:3 ...the night which said, 'A boy is conceived.' (a boy child in the womb) NASB Psalms 51:5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.(David admits he was himself sinful from his moment of first being) NASB Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations. (God consecrated Jeremiah to be a prophet from his first moment of conception in the womb.) NASB The Image of God Genesis 1:26-27 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;....” 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

NASB Matthew 5:4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." NASB Romans 8:1 Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. NASB Hebrews 4:15-16 For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. NASB Abortion Industry Psalms 15:5 Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. NASB (The righteous man does not accept payment to harm an innocent person; those who do so are wicked.) Psalms 58:10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. NASB (We will rejoice when the evil are brought to justice.) Proverbs 24:20 For there will be no future for the evil man; The lamp of the wicked will be put out. NASB Proverbs 28:10 He who leads the upright astray in an evil way Will himself fall into his own pit. NASB Proverbs 28:17 A man who is laden with the guilt of human blood Will be a fugitive until death; let no one support him. NASB Luke 17:2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble. NASB Romans 1:18-20 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident...20 ...so that they are without excuse. NASB 2 Corinthians 4:4 ...the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving NASB (The gospel is open and revealed to everyone, except to those who refuse to believe. Satan is the god of this world. His work is to deceive, and he has blinded those who don't believe in Christ. The allure of money, power, and pleasure blinds people to the light of Christ's gospel. Those who reject Christ and prefer their own pursuits have unknowingly made Satan their god. --NASB Life Application Study Bible commentary) Shedding of Innocent Blood Genesis 4:10 And He said, “What have you done?

Exodus 21:22-23 If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and...23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life NIV (Killing the unborn baby is murder, so the penalty is death.) Leviticus 20:2-5 “You shall also say to the sons of Israel, ‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 I will also set My face against that man and will cut him off from his people, because he has given some of his offspring to Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary and to profane My holy name. 4 If the people of the land, however, should ever disregard that man when he gives any of his offspring to Molech, so as not to put him to death, 5 then I Myself will set My face against that man and against his family; and I will cut off from among their people both him and all those who play the harlot after him, by playing the harlot after Molech.’” NASB Psalm 106:35 But athey mingled with the nations And learned their 1practices, 36 And aserved their idols, b Which became a snare to them. 37 They even asacrificed their sons and their daughters to the bdemons, 38 And shed ainnocent blood, The blood of their bsons and their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was cpolluted with the blood. 39 Thus they became aunclean in their 1practices, And bplayed the harlot in their deeds. 40 Therefore the aanger of the LORD was kindled against His people And He babhorred His 1cinheritance. 41 Then aHe gave them into the hand of the 1nations, And those who hated them ruled over them. 42 Their enemies also aoppressed them, And they were subdued under their 1power. 43 Many times He would adeliver them; They, however, were rebellious in their bcounsel, And so csank down in their iniquity. Proverbs 6:16-17 ...things the Lord hates, ...that are detestable to Him: 17...hands that shed innocent blood NIV Isaiah 1:15-17 15 So when you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood. 16 Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil, 17 Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow. NASB Jeremiah 19:4-8 For they have forsaken me ...and they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent. 5 They have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire ...6 So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when people will ...call this place...the Valley of Slaughter...8 I will devastate this city and make it an object of scorn NIV Ezekiel 22:12 "In you they have taken bribes to shed blood; you have taken interest and profits, and you have injured your neighbors for gain by oppression, and you have forgotten Me," declares the Lord God. NASB Ezekiel 23:35-39 35 Therefore, thus says the Lord God, "Because you have forgotten Me and cast Me behind your back, bear now the punishment of your lewdness and your harlotries." 36 Moreover, the Lord said to me, "Son of Man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations. 37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. Thus they have committed adultery with their idols and even caused their sons, whom they bore to Me, to pass through the fire to them as food. 38 Again, they have done this to Me: they have defiled My sanctuary on the same day and have profaned My sabbaths. 39 For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary on the same day to profane it; and lo, thus they did within My house." NASB Ezekiel 35:6 "Therefore as I live," declares the Lord God, "I will give you over to bloodshed, and bloodshed will pursue you; since you have not hated bloodshed, therefore bloodshed will pursue you." NASB Ezekiel 36:12,14,18 ...you will never again deprive them of their children...14 you will no longer devour men or make your nation childless, declares the Sovereign Lord...18 So I poured out My wrath on them because they had shed blood in the land NIV Higher Laws Exodus 1:15-21 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah, and the other was named Puah; 16 and he said, “When you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth and see them upon the birthstool, if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.” 17 But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but let the boys live. 18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?” 19 The midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and they give birth before the midwife can get to them.” 20 So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied and became very mighty. 21 Because the midwives feared God, He established households for them. NASB Daniel 6:5-27 (Daniel was thrown in the lion's den for worshipping God and breaking a new law forbidding it. God protected Daniel and King Darius changed the law to declare men should fear the real and living God, Who delivers His followers.)

And even if they didn't know, they must show they do not support it, and repent for letting it happen. Only then can they be forgiven for allowing the shedding of innocent blood in their midst.) Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants. NASB Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God.

NIV (Then Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan to show that loving your neighbor is helping and showing mercy to those you find in real need. Aren't unborn children our neighbors too, vulnerable and in need of our protection?) Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. NASB James 1:22 Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

NASB Matthew 25:40 I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it for me. NIV SO ... YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AN ABORTION!! WE KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE BABY. BUT WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU? World renowned abortionist Warren Hern of Boulder, Colorado states: "In medical practice, there are few surgical procedures given so little attention and so underrated in its potential hazards as abortion. It is a commonly held view that complications are inevitable." Here are some possible complications you may have that you'd like to ask your abortionist about. Print this article and ask him to check at the end of each complication listed to confirm whether he agrees with these statements or not. Then ask him to initial your print-out at the end for future reference, especially if you have problems later. And remember! Literally all of the problems listed below have been found in studies conducted in the medically sophisticated setting of university hospital centers, and by highly trained surgeons. These, however, constitute less than 10% of abortions done. Here are complications you can have with your abortion: HEMORRHAGE: Between 1-out-of-7 to 1-out-of-100 women require a blood transfusion due to bleeding from an abortion. HEPATITIS: This can occur if you have to have a blood transfusion after an abortion. LACERATION OF THE CERVIX: About 1-out-of-20 women suffer this during an abortion. This causes you to have nearly a 50/50 chance of miscarrying in your next pregnancy if it is not treated properly during that pregnancy. A high incidence of cervical damage from the abortion procedure has raised the incidence of miscarriage in aborted women to 30-40%. PERFORATION OF THE UTERUS: Punching a hole in the uterus occurs between 1-out-of40 to 1-out-of-400 abortions. This almost always causes peritonitis similar to having a ruptured appendix. BOWEL INJURY: If your uterus is perforated, your intestines can be perforated too. This will cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, blood in stool, peritonitis and death if not treated quickly enough. A portion of the intestine may have to be taken out, and a temporary or permanent colostomy may be put in your abdomen. BLADDER INJURY: If your uterus is perforated, your urinary bladder can be perforated too. This also can cause peritonitis with all its misery, dangers and necessary reparative surgery. INFECTION: Mild fever and sometimes death occurs when there is an infection from an abortion. This happens anywhere from 1-in-4 abortions to 1-in-50 abortions. STERILITY: You may become sterile so that you can never get pregnant again. This happens in 1-out-of-20 to 1-out-of-50 abortions. The risk of secondary infertility among women with at least one induced abortion is 3-4 times greater than that among non-aborted women. ECTOPIC PREGNANCY: After an abortion you are 8 to 20 times more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy. If not discovered soon enough, an ectopic pregnancy ruptures, and you can bleed to death if you do not have emergency surgery. Statistics show a 30% increased risk of ectopic pregnancy after one abortion and a 160% increased risk after two or more abortions. There has been a 3 fold increase in ectopic (or tubal) pregnancies in the U.S. since abortion was legalized. In 1970 the incidence was 4.8 per 1,000 live births. By 1980 it was 14.5 per 1,000 births. FAILED ABORTION: Failure to kill unborn babies younger than 6 weeks is relatively common. Surprise, surprise! Mommy's pregnant even though she endured the dangers and cost of an abortion. UNRECOGNIZED ECTOPIC PREGNANCY: Without an ultrasound to be sure, your abortionist may scrape your uterus to take out the baby, but the baby is growing in one of your fallopian tubes out of harm's way. Unfortunately the tubal pregnancy ruptures later and emergency surgery must be done to save your life. It is safe to say that ALL FIRST TRIMESTER ABORTIONS SHOULD HAVE AN ULTRASOUND TO MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE AN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY. RETAINED PRODUCTS OF CONCEPTION: If your abortionist leaves pieces of the baby, placenta, umbilical cord or amniotic sac, you may develop pain, bleeding or low grade fever. Besides antibiotics and possible hospitalization you may require additional surgery to remove these "left overs." SEVERE, RAPID BLEEDING: You may develop DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulopathy) from your abortion. This is extremely life threatening and difficult to treat. It occurs in 2 out of 1,000 second trimester abortions and in 6.6 out of 1,000 (nearly 1-in-100) saline installation abortions. BREAST CANCER: Breast cancer has risen by 50% in America since abortion became legal in 1973. Women who have aborted have significantly higher rates of breast cancer in later life. POST-ABORTION SYNDROME: Frequently after an abortion, mothers have recurrent memories, dreams and repetitions of the abortion experience; avoidance of emotional attachment; relationship problems; sleep disturbances; guilt about surviving when the unborn child died; memory impairment; hostile outbursts; suicidal thoughts or actions and substance abuse. This may occur days to years later. PLACENTA PREVIA: In this condition (placenta previa) your baby's placenta lies over the exit from the uterus so that the placenta has to be delivered BEFORE the baby can get out. This causes the mother to bleed severely while the baby almost always dies. An astute obstetrician who recognizes placenta previa removes the baby by Caesarean section at just the right time in the pregnancy -- not too early and not too late. Statistics show this problem in your future pregnancies is 6 to 15 times more likely after you have had an abortion. MORE MISCARRIAGES LATER: Women who have had two or more previous abortions have TWICE as many first trimester miscarriages in later pregnancies. There was a TENFOLD increase in the number of second trimester miscarriages in pregnancies which followed a vaginal abortion. EFFECTS ON THE NEXT PREGNANCY: If you have an abortion: (1) you will be more likely to bleed in each of the first three months of the following pregnancies; (2) you will be less likely to have a normal delivery in the following pregnancies; (3) you will need more manual removal of placenta and other third stage interventions in the following pregnancies; (4) your next child will be twice as likely to die in the first few months of life; (5) your next child will be three to four times as likely to die in the last months of his first year of life; (6) the likelihood of your next baby having a low birth weight will be increased; (7) your next baby is more likely to be born prematurely with all the dangerous and costly problems that entails. Rh INCOMPATIBILITY: Your abortionist should be sure of your baby's Rh blood type if you are Rh-negative so that he can protect you and your next baby against future Rh incompatibilities. These Rh incompatibilities: (1) can require that future babies will need transfusions soon after birth, (2) future babies may be born dead because of the incompatibility, (3) future babies may die soon after birth because of the Rh incompatibility. If your abortionist doesn't ascertain the blood type of the baby you are going to abort even in very early suction abortions done before eight weeks, fetal-maternal hemorrhage can occur, thereby sensitizing you if you are Rh-negative. IF YOU ARE A YOUNG MOTHER: Complication rates of abortion increase as the mothers are younger and the unborn babies are older. BUT younger (teen-age) mothers who carry their babies to term have better births than older mothers if they get proper care. There is evidence that in 15 to 17 year old women, pregnancy may even be healthier than in older ages. The above statements are attested to by: Laurence J. Burns, D.O. I.
