Planned Parenthood Celebration Jolted by Abortion Survivor
Gianna Jessen was born premature (at seven and a half months) after a failed saline abortion. She was featured as an honored guest in the Colorado House of Representatives on May 8th, the same day the House was set to honor the 90th anniversary of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains.
The story is evidence of Our Lady's words in Her Magnificat: "...He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with His arm, He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts, He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and exalted those of low degree..." (Luke 1:49-52)
Here's what happened when Gianna sang in the Colorodo House of Representatives: Planned Parenthood Celebration Jolted by Abortion Survivor
Couldn't make the link work. Just Google Gianna Jessen Colorado and you'll be able to catch the story. I'm not at all surprised that this got no national press (at least as far as I can see). Have a hanky handy.
With issues like this at the fore, it kind of makes one wonder how some of us Catholics can spend so much time arguing about issues that really are no more important, in the big scheme of things, than which finger to use to pick our noses.

The majority leader is quoted as saying, "I think it was amazingly rude to use a human being as an example of his personal politics."
Pro-aborts are so strange. I wish they could hear themselves talk. Why doesn't she just say, "I think it was amazingly rude to use a human being to point out that abortion harms and kills people."
There's nothing wrong in stating the obvious.

"Pro-aborts are so strange. I wish they could hear themselves talk."
Well, yes. One has to be strange [i.e., deranged] to openly support the murder of unborn babies and call it "choice."
