In my research and preparation for preaching this Sunday, I came across a website that offers a lot of great insights into the plague of abortion that has ravaged our nation since 1973. Here is a link to a powerful video at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abort73.com\/videos\/an_overview_of_abortion_in_2_minutes\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Overview of Abortion in 2 Minutes\">www.abort73.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I also decided to register our church as one of the churches supporting the local release of the movie, &quot;October Baby,&quot; this coming March. I previewed several of the clips from the movie and read the back story about the writer, producer, director and actors and found the movie to be a very powerful and persuasive story about the aftermath of abortion. I plan to encourage our local Carmike Theater to show it on opening weekend, March 23rd. Here&#39;s a link to the movie&#39;s website and a short trailer: <a href=\"http:\/\/octoberbabymovie.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"October Baby\">www.octoberbabymovie.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n<object height=\"315\" width=\"560\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/L52Lciaui4o?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" \/><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><\/object><br \/>\n&#0160;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&quot;I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse.
