Vulnerable Child Protection Act (HB 1060) Introduced in Georgia Legislature
In Georgia surgeries are done and chemicals given to children that harm their bodies, remove their ability to have their own children, and inflict permanent bodily conflict on these young ones.
Authored by Rep Ginny Ehrhart, HP 1060 would prevent and therefore protect vulnerasble children from:
- Performing any surgery that sterilizes children with healthy reproductive systems, including, but not limited to, castration, vasectomy, hysterectomy, oophorectomy, metoidioplasty, orchiectomy, penectomy, phalloplasty, or vaginoplasty
- Performing a mastectomy
- Removing any otherwise healthy or non-diseased body part or tissue
- Administering or supplying medications that induce transient or permanent infertility, including, but not limited to: Puberty-blocking medication to stop or delay normal puberty; Supraphysiologic doses of testosterone to females; or Supraphysiologic doses of estrogen to males.
TAKE ACTION NOW. Your representative needs to hear from you. They are under immense pressure to oppose this pro-children bill or to punt on the issue entirely. Should they do so, they will allow more lives to be destroyed in our state – on their watch – denying children the ability to have children and enjoy a healthy life.

Action Taken in Senate on the “Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” and the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act”
Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act” (S. 3275) and the “Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” (S. 311) Sponsored in Congress.
The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act contains an explicit requirement that a baby born alive during an abortion must be afforded “the same degree” of care that would apply “to any other child born alive at the same gestational age,” including transportation to a hospital. This language does not dictate bona fide medical judgments nor require futile measures, but rather, requires that babies born alive during abortions are treated in the same manner as those who are spontaneously born prematurely.

Update:
Unfortunately, The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act Stopped in the Senate as 41 Democratic senators successfully filibustered the Born-Alive Act.

Study in prestigious medical journal makes a strong case that unborn babies are capable of experiencing pain
Chipping away at earlier conclusions
By Dave Andrusko
Support for the position that unborn babies can experience pain by the 20th week after fertilization and “something like pain” much earlier, has come from a very unexpected source. One of the joint authors of “Reconsidering fetal pain” is Stuart Derbyshire, who is firmly ensconced in the “prochoice” camp. As the Daily Mail wrote in its coverage of the study, which appeared in the Journal of Medical Ethics, ”The controversial article has been authored British professor Stuart Derbyshire, who has written back in 2006 in the British Medical Journal that the practice of not talking to women seeking abortions about fetal pain was ‘sound policy based on good evidence that fetuses cannot experience pain.’” That is no longer Prof. Derbyshire’s position. He is still pro-abortion and his “solution” to the mounting evidence that the unborn child can feel pain is “to consider some form of fetal analgesia during later abortion.” But to move forward without raising the real possibility that the unborn child could experience pain while being killed “flirts with a moral recklessness that we are motivated to avoid.” Prof. Derbyshire and colleague John Bockmann begin with the “consensus” that fetal pain could not be experienced before 24 weeks. Then, to their credit, they write, “Arguably, there never was a consensus that fetal pain is not possible before 24 weeks. Many papers discussing fetal pain have speculated a lower limit for fetal pain under 20 weeks’ gestation. … Regardless of whether there ever was a consensus, however, it is now clear that the consensus is no longer tenable.”

Featured Pro Life Book
Fatherhood Aborted by Guy Condon and David Hazard
Men are often overlooked when we discuss the lasting effects of abortion. We are told by society that this is a woman’s issue and men need to stay out of it. This line of thinking has left a great deal of damage in its wake. Condon and Hazzard courageously stepped into unchartered territory with this book and gave voice to hundreds of thousands of men that are hurting for the choice they made, the money they spent, or the ride they provided. Abortion is not just a woman’s issue, but affects men as well. This book will open your eyes to the silent hurting of many of our brothers.

Featured Pro Life Organization
Heroic Media
Heroic Media enables pro-life individuals to sponsor Google advertisements that compete against ads from Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities.
Heroic Media’s ads redirect women away from abortion facilities, connecting them, instead, to pro-life pregnancy help centers Heroic Media qualifies, carefully selects and trains to receive phone calls from abortion-minded women. The organization is keenly aware that, far too often, women choose abortion simply because they don’t know that caring, capable help is available at a nearby pregnancy help center.
By being present online, Heroic Media has helped its pro-life benefactors reach hundreds of thousands of women facing unexpected pregnancies, connect those women with the help they need at pregnancy help centers, resulting in thousands of women changing their minds about getting an abortion, instead choosing life for their preborn babies.

Prayer for the Unborn
Almighty God, our Father in heaven,
We praise You as Creator of heaven and earth, the Maker of every living thing.
We worship You as those whom You have redeemed by the life, death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
We thank you for this company of believers, and for a new year in which to serve and glorify You.
We pray, Father, that we would know the meaning of ‘being in the world, but not of it’ and that we’d live to please You in all things.
We pray, Lord, that Your people would see what love and justice demand of us regarding the sanctity of life, and the defeat of abortion in our land.
Protect every unborn child we pray!
Stir Your people to lives of action and deeds of compassion.
To that end, give us a fuller measure of Your Holy Spirit we ask.
In all things, Lord, keep us faithful to Your Word, and in step with Your Spirit.
In Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
