  Abortion: It's one of the most controversial issues in America . For many women, it's an agonizing decision and one many regret for a lifetime. For many unborn babies, it's a violent and sudden end to a life of promise and possibilities.
  In an upcoming special, 'Facing Reality: Choice,' FOX News will look at the issue from a different angle when they offer the personal stories of three women. After viewing the special, FOX News asks you, the viewer, to log on to their web site and join a discussion about whether you think abortion is an acceptable choice or the cruel and unjust taking of the life of an innocent and weak member of the human race. We encourage you to respond to Fox, but before you do, we ask that you look at this issue from the perspectives presented below.
  Please check out the following stories:
  
  Gianna - "She [my mother] went to have a late term abortion; it was a saline abortion, which is a saline salt solution that's injected into the mother's womb.except they had a big shock in that abortion clinic that day because I arrived alive at 6 am in a Southern California abortion clinic."
  Watch Gianna's Story
  
  Nina - A mother and wife who has three healthy children, but finds out during her forth pregnancy that her child has down syndrome. In addition, because of Nina's health, the doctors recommend terminating the pregnancy.

More About James Kennedy

I recieved an email about info for a memorial service on live streaming video, Sept 13 at 1pm, web adress is www.DJamesKennedy.com. While he was not as well known as Jerry Falwell, he will be missed. He did preach about morals, with a calm and warm heart. The Coral Ridge Ministries was one of the best shows I watch on Sunday mornings.

God Bless from the Upper Peninsula in Michigan!

Dr. D James Kennedy Passed Away Early This Morning (UPDATE: Posting on CBN and Quotes from Religious Leaders)

One of the Sunday morning shows I like to watch is Coral Ridge Ministries. The founder of Coral Ridge was Dr D James Kennedy. I love to watch this show. He had suffered a heart attack last year on December 28. The website is currently displaying a memorial to him and his dedication to Christ and morals in America.

From the first page of the Memorial Site.

• “Now, I know that someday I am going to come to what some people will say is the end of this life. They will probably put me in a box and roll me right down here in front of the church, and some people will gather around, and a few people will cry. But I have told them not to do that because I don’t want them to cry. I want them to begin the service with the Doxology and end with the Hallelujah chorus, because I am not going to be there, and I am not going to be dead. I will be more alive than I have ever been in my life, and I will be looking down upon you poor people who are still in the land of dying and have not yet joined me in the land of the living. And I will be alive forevermore, in greater health and vitality and joy than ever, ever, I or anyone has known before.”

I was reading some of the posting on CBN about James Kennedy's passing.

"Jim Kennedy was a towering figure among evangelicals. He was a brilliant theologian with a passion for evangelism. All of us who knew and admired him mourn his passing." -- Dr. Pat Robertson

"For more than forty years, Dr. D. James Kennedy has influenced our culture in countless ways ranging from education to politics. He was a pioneer in evangelism and a bold champion for Christian principles. His strong intellect and firm grasp of history made him an important apologist for the Christian faith. He demonstrated that being a Christian meant standing up for our beliefs, and also living with integrity. As the pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida he set a high standard both for local churches and national ministries. His public service has left a lasting legacy for the Christian faith that will be felt for generations to come. He was a personal friend, and a friend of our ministry. For many years, it has been our privilege to telecast 'The Coral Ridge Hour,' a program he hosted. We count it an honor to have worked closely with Dr. Kennedy and his staff. Our prayers are with his family and Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church during this time." -- David Cerullo, Chairman and CEO of The Inspiration Ministries
