A billboard in a paddock advising passing travelers, “A heart beats at four weeks,” has caused outrage and triggered a petition demanding its removal.

Sometimes we need a rude awakening to remind us of the reality of abortion.

The New York Times has published an opinion piece by a practising abortionist, who gives her thoughts on becoming a mother for the first time. Her article shows a light on the mental gymnastics abortionists must practise in trying to justify their work of killing babies.

"Ten years later, I think about my abortion with sadness, but not regret. I will never regret my decision. I have done so many things and had so many opportunities that I may not have been able to do with a child."

That the West has a schizophrenic view of children and their wellbeing is an understatement. We go on and on about not separating children from their parents, as in debates over refugees and asylum seekers, but we extol as a human right the slaughter of unborn children.
