"You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments."—Ex 20:5-6

Andromeda discusses the changing language of an ABC article linked here where a woman describes her 15 abortions in 16 years. Far from condemning her, we notice on this podcast how often the term "baby" is now employed by non pro-life Americans, a significant shift in the vocabulary of today. In this podcast, I also suggest a book called "Forbidden Grief: The Unspoken Pain of Abortion." Andromeda indicates Bernard Nathanson's movie about a live abortion called "Eclipse of Reason" (caution: very violent content.) The music bumpers and above photo are both from the national Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe, Marytown.
