Today we’re talking about a few stories related to abortion. First, NPR published a story about a Texas mom who couldn’t abort her baby (who was diagnosed with a fatal disorder) due to Texas’ abortion law, hoping to provoke sympathy for women who have to bring their pregnancies to term. Now the mother has claimed she cannot afford a funeral for the baby, who passed shortly after her birth. NPR appears to argue that it would have been better for the baby to have been dismembered than to be born and need a funeral. We explain why this ignores the absolute trauma of abortion, as well as the beautiful moment this baby got to see the face of her mother before she died. Then, U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk issued a ruling which could stop the prescribing and distribution of mifepristone, one of two drugs used to perform abortions via pill, due to the FDA’s flawed approval process. The opinion now waits for appeals from the Biden administration, but we discuss why this is a great win and could mean huge difficulties for getting abortions nationwide (as about half of abortions in the country are performed via pill). We also take a look at some of the drug’s shady connections and why we should all be questioning its origins. We also offer some encouragement to be bold and stop looking for the approval of man when we face criticism for our faith.

Whoops: NPR Accidentally Reveals Brutality of Abortion | Ep 785
source
It's EVIL the way YouTube puts a tag on this video claiming that abortion is surgery and "medicine". It is the hunting down of a living, growing child in the safety of her mother's womb to kill her. Surgery is done to improve your health, not to murder you.
I know MANY women who have been advised to abort because "something was wrong with the baby". And all of my friends and family had perfectly normal babies. I'm so glad they chose life and let God take care of the details.
Killing babies is demonic!!!
Can you please make the encouragement at the start of the video about people not believing the resurrection into a YouTube short? 😊🙏
we love you allie… keep up the good work ie Gods work 🙏 dont listen to that white noise… you are doing what is right and God never said it would be easy
Informative content-I have a question for you. What is your take on sterilization? I am a nulliparous, 26 year old individual who received a bilateral scalpengetomy last August. I think we should encourage women of child bearing age to either be on birth control, or get sterilized if they do not want to have a biological child.
Allie …..50??????
You’re awesome
Because she does ads for my patriot supply I’m pretty sure I know where Allie Beth Stuckey stands on “prepping” to some degree but I’m curious if she’s ever done a podcast about it specifically and what the Bible says if not I would love that to be touched on
At this point what defines life? If we are considering the fact we humans cannot survive without a brain or a heart and a fetus only is able to develop a heartbeat in the 3-7 week period. Would the fetus not be alive? I mean technically the fetus itself is a parasite by definition as it cannot survive outside the womb until fully developed. So what is life if you consider it to be on contraception. Why is abortion so bad anyway. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs but allow people to get abortions. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean you have to control other people. Its obvious that most babies who are seen as “non compatible with life” who are not aborted die a painful slow death. It’s rare to survive. Praise Jesus for only he may see the rude enforcement of the Pro-life movement.
alliebethstuckey, please have SETH GRUBER on your show!!
The argument about aborting if a mothers life is in danger makes no sense…
It is MORE dangerous to abort a child than to deliver the child. This is known fact.
I’ve heard so many stories of mothers who were told their baby had diseases, etc. and turned out to be fine. There is no certainty in these diagnoses.
Government also prohibits the sale of your organs
Here's another message of positivity and encouragement Allie. Thank you for your podcasts and for bringing such important topics to our attention. You are truly a blessing.
Many decades ago,my Mom had been very sick while pregnant with my sister. The doctor told her to terminate the pregnancy because he was so sure the baby would be "retarded". My sister has nothing wrong with her! Doctors are not always correct!
An old joke:
– Are you a pro-life or a pro-choice?
– Neither of them , from one side i support killing babies, from other side i am against women rights.

I had no statistical chance of making it to "viability" (23 weeks at my hospital) and if I did she had a less than 5% survival chance. We were told there was a 95% chance I'd go into labor or develop an infection within 72 hours. Thankfully, we weren't pressured to abort by the doctors we saw. Only one seemed to think we were being irresponsible for continuing with the pregnancy due to the risk to my health but even he called the hospital to see how I was doing with conservative management (aka wait and see). We were going to see it to the end, whatever end that was. I spent 10 weeks on modified movement, nine on hospital bedrest over Thanksgiving, Christmas, my and my husband's birthdays, and had an emergency cesarean at 32weeks. After being told we wouldn't know if she'd survive until she was about a week old, you can imagine the indescribable joy when we were told she would be fine at five days old, no complications from my pregnancy to be factored into her health. She is statistically impossible and our story has touched so many lives. We had hundreds of people praying for us, bought nothing for her (people we hadn't spoken to in years bought things off her registry), and medical personnel have told me the miraculous story of grace, mercy, and perseverance has changed their lives indefinitely. We would have none of that if we believed in abortion.
II Corinthians 4:16-18 This is a light and momentary burden compared to the weight of the glory to come.
My condolences to the family. I agree a funeral is absolutely very important for mourning and healing after any infant death even if the family sought out an abortion. God worked a wonderful healing for me after my father took me for a back alley abortion when I was 10. There was no opportunity for me to mourn I was not permitted to speak of it at the time at all. He was covering up for his behavior. But years later God worked through a funeral for a friend's infant to reach out to me that I no longer had to prevent the crying and tears. I am allowed to grieve even years later. I pray that anyone here who needs that type of healing and release with and from God can receive that today. He loves you. He is not hating what you did nearly as much as He wants to forgive and love His precious daughter if you will let Him. Jesus paid the price for all sin. Whatever you feel your role was or is, Forgiveness is yours if you will accept it. Confession just means say out loud what happened. If someone did it to you forgive that person like I forgave my dad. That provides healing and freedom too. God bless you and keep you and make His face shine on you.
As my amazing Pastor often says, "Grace without Truth is Meaningless, and Truth without Grace is Mean." 9:00
You cannot run around nude, you can not masturbate in public, you are not supposed to be able to defecate or urinate in public, you can not spit on a public sidewalk, you can not murder or self murder etc…..All these can nots to go away real soon…
Thank u for this video
When I was pregnant with my 5th child, the Doctor asked me , did I want to keep it ? That was a strange question to me,considering he wasn’t the Doctor who delivered my children prior.. My other Doctor moved away. But anyhow, my pregnancy with this Doctor just seemed different, I felt like he had some problem with something. I know I was only 34 at the time, and I did a test they wanted me to do, to find out if my baby could have Down syndrome, or Spinal Bifida, well anyhow, my test came back on the low side and so the Doctor told me, there were chances of him having Down syndrome, I’m like why, all my other babies were healthy ? But anyhow he wanted me to get an embryosenteses down, never really explained what that was, other than they take fluid out of the womb and test it, and he said if the test comes back again on the low side, you should probably consider aborting it, but I also found out beforehand, that this test could kill the baby. Anyhow, a Christian Sister and I prayed about the situation beforehand, before my appointment, and we ended up having a blizzard that day of the scheduled test, praise the Lord, and I never had that test done, well, when I went back to the doctors, the nurse ask me why I didn’t do that test, I said, because we had a blizzard and I couldn’t make it, she said, well the doctor isn’t going to like that, I’m like, God can change anything in 5 months. Well, then I had that test done where you drink that sugar water, and then they tried to tell me that came back to high, and I’d have to do that test again, this was like at 7 months, well then, i talked with another woman from my Church who was a nurse, and told her about this sugar test, and she asked me what the level was, and I told her, and she said, that’s not even high enough to retake the test, but anyhow, they set me up an appointment at the hospital to get it done, never told me anything about what I had to do, other than go to the hospital, and they’ll have you drink that sugar water again, so I and my praying Sister, prayed over that situation beforehand as well. Well, the day I went to do that test, I took my oldest daughter with me, and they asked me, if I knew what I had to do today, I’m like yes, drink that water, and you’ll take my blood, their like, you have to be here like 5 hours, I’m like they never told me that, so they again wanted to set up another appointment, I’m like forget it. I ended up visiting this praying Sisters Church, and I went up front for prayer, never said a word to the Pastor, but get this, his wife held my stomach, and he said look at me.. This baby is going to be just fine, I knew God was speaking to me. So, the day I went into labor, I didn’t want to go have this Doctor deliver my baby, I wanted to have him at home, but my sisters in Christ prayed over me, and two of them went with me to the hospital, and believe it or not, my doctor was in surgery and another doctor delivered my son, praise the Lord, my son was healthy, and weighed 6 lbs 15 ozs, and my doctor walked into the room, and the other doctor, said healthy baby boy. ☺️🙌✝️🙏 . After The other doctor walked out of the room, my doctor asked me was I ready to get my tubes tied, I said no, he said why not ? He was mad, and the next day when I was released from the hospital, I never went back to that doctor, he’s never seen my son since. I felt like he was trying to get rid of him, it was weird. That particular doctor had horrible bed side manners.
I don't hate anyone. But I am not a Christian. So, please don't lump us all together. We are called to belief, no human can turn that on. Or off.
That abortion pill has been a lifesaver for many women for over 20 years.
Wow… what mother says that! What mother says they would rather have killed their baby, than to pay for a funeral.
So, dead without seeing your baby and you don’t have to pay for a funeral, but a waste disposal fee.
Or, holding your dying baby lovingly in your arms. Saying goodbye and giving her that moment with you. Then, paying for a funeral for your child.
I don’t understand why these women don’t think the death of their babies aren’t going to affect them. Either by their own hands or by nature… it’s going to affect you.
There is no law requiring a funeral is there? A normal cremation or burial would be adequate.
I think the "abortion pill" that is, the " morning after pill" should only be administerable by ER doctors in cases of reported rape after the rape nurse has taken the appropriate evidence. Only because you know there will be exceptions for rape anyway.
Why should we be surprised that AOC thinks Biden should ignore the overturn of Roe vs.Wade when they've ignored the immigration and border laws under Obama and Biden.
At 20 weeks she would still have had to deliver the baby in some way. The parents would still have grief and trauma. The idea that abortion would magically allow them to avoid any of the emotions and pain of this is so unrealistic and insensitive. My heart goes out to them and everyone faced with the loss of a child.
Proverbs 27:6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. I’d rather tell the truth in love and have some angry with me at first. just like our parents tried to warn us about something ? One day they will thank you. As long as it’s meek mild and in truth. 💕 God bless you sis keep up the good fight of faith.
That law made sure that lady wasn’t held accountable in front of God for murder. I pray for this family. This is incredibly sad. I know for a fact that baby girl is in heaven as well.
The abortion debate is not one about life or science, but about personhood and philosophy. Allie's philosophy is rooted in Judeo-Christian values about personhood. In other words, she believes that personhood begins at conception. I happen to agree with her about the morality of abortion; it is an assault on God. However, I do not believe that it is within my constitutional right (or the government's right) to dictate for other people when personhood begins, and therefore whether or not they should have access to safe, legal healthcare. Even though I may disagree with the moral premise of such care. I believe that it would be a violation of the First Amendment's freedom of religion to force people to recognize personhood according to any one religion's value, including my own.
I took that pill combo at almost 12 weeks for a missed miscarriage last year. A DNC wasn’t an option for me because they would not sedate me. The pill was painful and violent on my body. I lost my poor baby in my bathroom toilet. I won’t go into the details of why we could not retrieve him. I was in the er that night and a week later for bleeding out. I needed a blood transfusion and in the end I got a dnc in the er without sedation to clear everything out and it was so painful.
Exodus 21:22-23
“And when they strive together men and they injure woman pregnant so that they go out children of her but not he is mortal injury to fine he shall be fined. As he shall place on him husband of the woman and he shall give on judgements. But if harm he is then you shall give life in place of life” (The Hebrew-English Interlinear ESV Old Testament; Literal reading)
This passage is about a violent argument between men, where there is a pregnant woman present near them. During this struggle, the woman is somehow “injured” (nâgaph, which can also include fatal injuries), which caused the “children (masculine plural, boys), to “come out” (yâtsâ’) of the woman. It is clear from the Hebrew, that the “mortal injury” is of the children, and not the woman, as we have the masculine, singular, “’âsôn” used, as the ESV rightly reads, “he is”. “’âsôn” is used in the Old Testament for serious, and even fatal injuries.
The Hebrew “wə·yā·ṣə·’ū yə·lā·ḏe·hā”, literally, “children come out”, is translated as “to miscarry”, or, “born prematurely”, or “fruit depart”, or “come out”, etc, in our English Versions. The masculine plural, shows that there is more than one boy in the womans womb.
In verse 23, “’âsôn” is used to show that either, one, or both of the boys died from the result of the injuries sustained by the woman, during this violent argument between the two men. It is clear, “then you shall give life in place of life”, which is a requirement of death, and not injury.
It is clear from verse 23, that if the child, or children, died, which can only mean, “to miscarry”, and not as some English translations read, “she gives birth prematurely”, as in the NASB, as this does not mean that the child or children, did not live. “she has a miscarriage”, is used in these Versions: NAB; NASB 1977; Douay-Rheims Bible; NRSV; Lasma Syriac Bible; The Contemporary Torah, JPS, 2006, etc
Abortion in the Bible is MURDER
You could like…..not have one, no one is forcing you. It definitely is the last defense for many adults but with more education, condoms, maybe some free healthcare, and access to abortion widespread, late term abortion would be a thing of the past. No one wants it, it’s just a byproduct of a political party who wants to teach nothing but a book that’s written by men. Think about all the struggle with the abortion pill and how monumental that achievement is in science but it might never see the shelves because of ignorance and wanting a Christian theocracy.
