Video: Abortion by Amy K. Hall – “What is abortion? It’s more than a medical procedure, though mere medical descriptions of it are horrifying in themselves. It’s the destruction of human beings—their brutal and abrupt loss of every good, beautiful, and true thing that awaited them in life—perpetrated by the very ones who should have been their most valiant protectors. Perhaps only a poet could capture the true horror of this. Poet Roderick Falconer recites his attempt … I warn you, it’s tough to listen to. But it’s a powerful unmasking of what lies behind the word ‘abortion.’” (Also see Word of Hope.)

Still do. And I loved that it became the pizza of choice for my church’s youth group… But counting on pizza for the success of any youth group is banking on the wrong papa.
