Rescue those being led away to death - Speak up NOW!
We are heartbroken over the disturbing news out of Washington DC about five deceased late term babies among many other younger babies found in an abortion clinic medical waste container. Bloodthirsty ideology, selfishness and greed of abortion proponents, supported by our friends, family members, and associates still held captive by propaganda and misplaced loyalties shock us into the grim reality that the Exodus from Egyptian bondage remains unrealized. As you learn the details of this horror story, keep in mind Proverbs 24:11-12. “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this, does not He who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not He who guards your life know it? Will He not repay everyone for what they have done?”
Aborted babies discovered in DC may indicate infanticide after attempted abortions https://www.liveaction.org/news/infant-bodies-infanticide-attempted-abortions/
