Why this site and why now? This site is designed to help you — in order to help them live. There is a growing grassroots movement in Georgia seeking to reestablish the sanctity of each and every human life from conception to old age. Join together with men, women, and children from every walk of life and every denomination of the Christian faith in this mighty work of God's people to protect the lives of those little ones who are utterly unable to protect themselves. Help your fellow Georgia citizens end this terrible holocaust of human life. Now is the time, as the momentum and the voices of concerned Georgians rise, for you to become part of something significant in the history of our land. As never before since the Roe v. Wade decision, we have within our grasp the instrument which will turn the tide — House Bill 1. The crucial battle to see House Bill 1 become the law of our state is now at hand! We cannot let up in our efforts for so many lives are at stake. We need to lobby strongly for the passage of HB1, the bill that puts Sanctity of Life principles to work on an every day basis in our state, shutting down and criminalizing the practice of abortion.

Welcome to Let Them LiveA site dedicated to the Sanctity of Life in Georgia Report From the Field Assessing Our Physicians; March 10 – According to a 2002 study, 91-93% of Down's Syndrome babies are aborted in the United States. I spent some time reading through testimonials on pro-Down's baby websites, and every single parent who mentioned their Ob-Gyn said that they were strenuously pressured to abort, and were sent through the ringer concerning the agonies of raising a Down's Syndrome baby. These different testimonials came from women around the country. These were different doctors of varying ages, regions, and medical educations who independently reached the same conclusion. Why give birth to a genetically flawed child when you can simply wipe the slate clean and start again? Babies in the womb no longer have an advocate. They are considered replaceable. But what this also means is that moral upright parents no longer have an advocate. They must be equipped to stand up to the medical community and fight for the life and well being of their child from the earliest days. We must re-examine the blind trust that we have in our doctors. The ideologies of the medical community lean toward making the strong, stronger, and eliminating the weak and needy altogether. This thinking is infecting all of us. Even with six healthy children, people in the community first respond by pity; that in some way I have given up my life for these children, and why would I voluntarily do that? I have to bring them to the real conclusion that my children are a wonderful blessing and that our lives are fuller and richer because we have each other. The duty to instill the value of life within the hearts and minds of our people belongs to each one of us. Put your doctors through a screening process: do they use vaccinations developed from aborted fetal tissue? do they prescribe chemical birth control which inhibits embryos from implanting in the uterus? do they urge the abortion of genetically flawed children? Doctors need to hear from their patients and need to be called back to their first priority which is to protect life. For Life. . . For Liberty, Birth Control, Estrogen, and Environmental Health Risks March 7 – Unfortunately in a world where utilitarianism reigns supreme within the medical community, information that we would consider crucial to our personal health care is casually swept under the rug by those who've decided they know better. In Georgia we use tax dollars to provide and encourage the use of contraception within our government highschools. The safe sex classes certainly don't tell young women that if they use birth control pills their chance of breast cancer just increased ten-fold (see www.bcpinstitute.org). Our tax dollars are promoting a "preventative" medication which kills embryos (as pointed out in former articles) AND causes breast cancer. Our daughters graduate from highschool often already on birth control pills, and continue to use them through out their child bearing years. How are our communities negatively impacted from widespread chemical birthcontrol? The hormones are taken daily by women and released through the urine which then goes to the sewer, and into the water plants, etc. But no one is monitoring or removing the hormones from the water. In Seattle, the presence of chemical birth control in the water supply is causing great alarm because these hormones render male trout much less fertile, which is affecting an already struggling fish population. According to a story in June 2003 a coordinator for Trout Unlimited in Portland found the study "disturbing in the extreme" because these hormones have polluted the water tables, creeks, rivers, and lakes all over the country and are having a very negative effect on reproductive rates in fish.(http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/124939_estrogen04.html) What's even more disturbing is that no one is talking about it! Where are the environmentalists? They should be protesting at pharmacies all over the country, where chemical birth control is dispensed. All of us are drinking the water supply, and are taking in these hormones, whether we want to or not. How does that affect our health, our fertility or our cancer rates, and what about our unborn children? "David Norris, a physiology professor at the University of Colorado, said it is not just the possible negative effects that estrogen is having on aquatic environments that concerns him as much as the exposure of these hormones to humans, especially fetuses and newborns. According to Norris, numerous reports show that estrogenic chemicals in water can result in thyroid problems and an adrenaline imbalance. Thyroid inhibitors are of major concern because they affect the nervous system's development and can cause permanent mental retardation" (http://www.kansascity.com/238/story/508076.html). Even if you personally are not using chemical birth control, the affects of other women using them impacts us all. As studies are showing, these hormones are poisoning our water, our environment, ourselves, and even our unborn children. Another reason we can remain silent no longer. For Life. . . For Liberty, Our Current Culture of Death March 6 – I've been trying to figure out how it is that the entire medical industry and pharmaceutical industry can get away with lying about chemical birth control. I finally figured it out. The definition of pregnancy has been changed by the American Medical Association. Until a couple years ago, pregnancy was defined as when the sperm enters the ovum, at that moment a woman is pregnant. But today, pregnancy is defined as when the embryo attaches to the uterine wall. So, if you are using chemical birth control in the form of the ring, patch, pills, IUD or the morning after pill, these are not abortifacients under the "new definition" since they keep your little embryo from implanting. Thus you have an embryo, but you are never "pregnant." This explains why all those doctors in the committee hearing testified that declaring the right to life begins at conception would outlaw all current chemical birth control. We are now at the mercy of medical professionals trained in school that chemicals which starve embryos to death are not abortifacient because pregnancy has not yet begun! Peter Singer a bioethicist, wrote a book in 1979 entitled Practical Ethics which openly supports infanticide and according to Wesley Smith, this book has become " a standard text in many college philosophy departments." (p. 15, Culture of Death). Furthermore, Singer is so mainstream that he wrote the essay on ethics for the Encyclopedia Britannica. Today, Singer is the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University's Center for Human Values. Singer claims that "humans" must be divided into persons and non- persons. The litmus test is on two grounds: being rational and having self-consciousness. An infant is certainly not rational nor is he aware that he is alive. Thus, he is a non-person and it is not in any way criminal to kill a non-person. "The British academic John Harris, the Sir David Alliance Professor of Bioethics and director of the Institute of Medicine, Law and Bioethics at the University of Manchester in England, defines a person as "a creature capable of valuing its own existence," which he believes could include people, animals, extraterrestrials and machines, but not some humans such as infants "during the neonatal period." John Harris states: To kill or to fail to sustain the life of a person is to deprive that My point here is that the idea that your personal family is safe because you do not hold to a dehumanizing philosophy, or that time is on our side because pro-abort people only kill their own, is For Life . . . For Liberty, Why HB1? Why Now? Why You? March 5 – Today, it is acceptable to kill a child within the womb up to the day of delivery, use embryos for research, cryogenically store embryos against their will, euthanize young children with serious genetic disorders, and harvest organs & tissue of aborted babies, to be sold to research firms and pharmaceutical companies all in our America. Do you really think that we have created a medical community who can be guilty of all of this, yet still respect your personal life and that of your children? Let me be clearer. First, during the committee hearings six doctors concurred that all chemical birth control is designed as an abortifacient. I've never heard of a Doctor admitting this--certainly none of mine ever did, nor have the doctors of my girlfriends. Yet, birth control is routinely prescribed to young women all over the country, and these women continue to ovulate, conceive, and then have a chemical abortion, not ever knowing what they are doing to themselves or to another human life. Immunizations are also arather frightening thing these days. Of the childhood immunizations, ten are made with aborted fetal tissue cell lines. For most of these, you can ask for an alternative, but that assumes that you even know to ask. The chicken pox vaccine, hepatitis A and polio do not have an alternative. So if you have allowed your pediatrician to give your children those vaccines, they were made using aborted fetal tissue cell lines. And I'm just going to guess here that like my pediatrician, your pediatrician never told you about where these vaccines originate. And when you consider the in vitro process, it seems like a wonderful new world, but upon closer inspection it is more aligned with Brave New World. A desperate couple comes to an in vitro clinic because they are barren. The doctors meet with them and decide they can help them. Two years later the wife gives birth to one healthy baby (by the way in doing so she is among only 10% of those for whom in vitro is successful). In the process 3 children were simply discarded in the embryonic form because they were too weak to risk (after being utilized for medical experiments), and 4 healthy embryos were placed into cryogenic storage. We all prayed for a positive outcome, and rejoiced at the birth of the healthy baby boy not realizing that 7 babies were reduced to property in the process. A circle of silence has brought us to this horrible point. You see, all the elitists in judge robes, lab coats, or nice suits know that you may cause a fuss for a little while, but eventually you will believe there is no point, throw up your hands, go home, and pray for Jesus to come back. But now your life and the lives of your children are on the line, because we are all vulnerable to what our doctors and our pediatricians tell us, and most of them have been trained in institutions that do not respect life. So the real question is, will you give up and remain silent on HB1? HB1 stands firm and declares that life is precious, that to snuff out life is murder, and that local government has the duty to prosecute murderers. It is the first step toward returning our society to cherishing and protecting the sanctity of life. We must unite and we must stand firm, demanding justice from the people we elected to represent us in government. Call your legislator today. All of our lives are on the line now. For Life. . . For Liberty, Let's Get HB1 to the House Floor for a Vote March 3 – I hope everyone out there is determined to see HB1 get a hearing because this is the week we must rally the troops. First, please contact your Representative and Senator and ask them to urge Wendell Willard or any Judiciary member to grant HB1 a 10 minute hearing THIS WEEK. Second, email or call Wendell's Capitol office DAILY, and ask that HB1 be granted a hearing THIS WEEK. We must hold our legislators accountable for seeing HB1 pass or fail. You can go to www.congress.org to ascertain your legislators. Willard's contact information: Fax-404-657-8277; Capitol office #: 404-656-5125; Cell ph #: 770-330-0890. Thanks for all your help!
