Mike Huckabee is a man of many trades. Former Arkansas governor. Pastor. Fox News host. Former presidential candidate. The list goes on. Now, Huckabee will be able to add “film host” to his resume, as he has teamed up with the conservative non-profit group Citizens United to create “The Gift of Life” — a pro-life film that explores the moral issues surrounding abortion.
As host, Huckabee will take viewers through the lives of people who were nearly victims of abortion — but were somehow spared from the procedure. According to the film’s web site, these individuals “help us define the culture of life.” The movie highlights these individuals’ stories, while delving deeply into the complicated and controversial issue of abortion.
Additionally, “The Gift of Life” profiles leaders in the pro-life movement and rails against the nation’s historic 1973 Roe vs. Wade abortion decision. “There is inherent and intrinsic worth and value in every human life regardless of that person’s age, stature, functional capacity, ancestry, personal assets, last name, level of education, or occupation,” the film’s web site reads. “Contempt and indifference toward any life can become contempt and indifference toward every life, including our own.”
Watch the trailer, below:
And here’s a 30-second spot that features the former governor:
In a recent column on LifeSite.com, Huckabee wrote, “The prevalence and acceptance of abortion has led to a culture of pessimism and death that manifests itself in many ways, even beyond the womb.”
According to LifeSite.com, four GOP presidential candidates — Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum – will join Huckabee at a forum on December 14 in Des Moines, Iowa, to unveil “The Gift of Life.” More than 1,000 pro-life advocates will join them in unveiling the project

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 3:53pmC’mon, if most people cared abortion would be illegal, so the fact of the matter is that most people that make up this country are fine with abortion and so is the legal system. The US doesn’t make laws according to God, their isn’t any GOD laws here, OK. So if those that don’t like it then leave because its not going to change. When discussing legislation and voting in the Gov’t nobody sits around and goes, well what about GODS law? The point is, that a lot of you are complete whacko’s who need to stop thinking that your personal religious beliefs are going to be put into law somehow…never going to happen and I’m pretty sure we have proven that….if I was wrong abortion would be illegal and considered murder, but its not illegal and its NOT murder. I have been blessed with being very wealthy and chose to use some of my wealth to do exactly what some of you hate and thats funding for abortion for young women. Funded over 1300 abortions to young women that can’t afford them. Regardless of your opinion, mine is that everything starts in the home and what you and your family decide is between you and up to you, not whack jobs who think they know best. Stay out of others business as most people don’t give a rats a$$ about how you feel nor think.

Well I got news for you. It IS everyone’s business to protect innocent life, and people like you will not prevail in the end, because sooner or later conscience is on our side, and we will win this fight.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 4:20pmReally? I thought abortion was legal because Roe versus Wade was decided by 9 supreme court justices? Anyway, there have been many changes in science since then, that would/should reverse that decision if the supreme court were allowed to decide it again. You anti-science liberals are living in the stone age. Yeah, if you want to support the killing of a child go ahead, but it’s murder. You know it. I know it. We all know it. Don’t be surprised if Roe V Wade is overturned in the not to distant future. The younger generation, who have been exposed to the science, do not support the ideology of you primitive convenience killers.

We should RAISE the next generation, not ABORT IT!
Our “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” society is groaning under the burden of promoting a selfish philosophy toward ourselves at the expense of our progeny.
Social Security is at the insolvency threshold. Wouldn‘t be if we hadn’t used our own hands to destroy 40 million young energetic and enthusiastic kids from 1975 to today.
But here is a question for you: If the patent office recognizes man made genetically modified animals as unique life forms -BEFORE they are gestated and allowed to breathe on their own- how can you claim that an embryo is not a unique life form? After all, from the moment that the genetic material from the spermatozoa unites with the genetic material of the egg it is from that time forward unique and differentiated from it‘s parents and has all of it’s characteristics in a single package.
It has a mission and a job to perform -multiply, multiply, multiply, differenitate, grow baby grow- which it will do as long as we don‘t cut off it’s food, or starve it of oxygen, or invade it‘s home to violently remove it from the safety of it’s protecitive environment.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 11:17pmwhat everyone needs to sit down and really absorb is that David11 is right. not based on the argument of when an embryo becomes a child, or when life starts, but based on the rule book. Christians have a rule book, it’s called the Bible. These United States of America, is not a Theocrisy. This means that while we may have been based on Judao-Christian values, and our laws written by devout Christians (and Diests, look it up), they realized that you cannot base sould government on something/someone you cannot recieve express and clear opinion from. Therefore we were made into a Democratic Republic, Which means the government operates out of a Different rule book, in America we like to cal it the Constitution. A lot of people on this website claim to support and be defenders of the constitution. If this is to be considered true, then we must conclude that in matters of government we must go to the Constitution for clarification, NOT The Bible. So it is between the individual and the physition, what happens to the individual. That is defined within the inalienable right of the individual, everyone say it with me now … Life … Liberty … and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS! now a lot of people like to put this arguement under the 1st of the 3, but it actually falls under pursuit, i base this on the fact, if you take a fetus out of the womb before it is time, without immediate emergency medical care the child will die. Fetus becomes child when it can breathe w/o a machine

Report Post »What if government took the view of your rights, pick any one, that you give to the unborn. It is indisputable that a life is assigned to a fertilized egg. There is the scientific, bilogical interaction of structures, but there is also a soul, a personality, a life assigned to it. With each life, there is a right to it. If you just want to look at it in government terms, then that right is a LEGAL right. It is government’s JOB and PURPOSE to protect our rights. If you want to talk about legal rights, which one takes precedence? A Woman’s “right to choose” or a “person’s right to live”? Convenience or existence? In most abortion cases, there is a choice made by the woman to do what made her pregnant. She used that freedom & right. So who protects the right of the life that resulted from that? THE LAW is supposed to. As law stands now, it protects basic rights much worse than it did when the Dred Scott decision was handed down by a Democrat minded Supreme Court. It took Republicans to defend rights & liberty back then & the Democrats are on the wrong side of this one too. It seems to be in their nature to deny rights. I can add the segragation of the military & post office & the klan alliance to prohibit voting by free slaves and the refusal of all Democrats to vote in favor of the 14th amendment that made full citizens with full rights out of former slaves and I can add prohibition… (D) = rights opression specialists!

And I think you being intelligent would have to agree that there are moral issues and legal issues. Not all of Man’s laws are very good for society. Your decision to spend your wealth on helping 1,300 young women get abortions was “right” in your eyes. But yet you say that what ever happens in a home stays in the home and other should butt out. But you did not butt out. Did you ever think that some of those abortions you paid for may have caused untold heartache in a family, and might scare the very women you profess to “help”.

This explains why you think the way you do
Romans 1:28
28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
This is what God did to free those from depravity :
John 3:17
17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
These are your chocies:
Luke23
Report Post »39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 8:58pmReading your response makes me very sad David. Yes, women should have a right to choose, but they need to take responsibility for their actions too. If they don’t want a child, they need to stop having unprotected sex. Have you heard Dr. Ron Paul talking about helping to save a mother and baby in crisis and then seeing a child being born two doors down that was later stage being thrown in the garbage? It’s so wrong! Where is the humanity in that? When there are so many couples who can’t have children of their own, there is always someone else who would love their unwanted child.

Forty percent of minors who have had an abortion claim that their parents never even knew. It is estimated that, at current rates, nearly 1/3 of all American women will eventually have an abortion. Since the Supreme Court legalized abortion in Roe v Wade, there have been over 50 million abortions performed in the United States. That is more than the entire population of Spain and roughly the combined population of California and New York. What is the most common reason for having an abortion: money or, to be more precise, the lack of it. We will go into debt, take on a second job, beg, borrow, and steal to be able to afford a new car, a vacation, more high-tech toys, but a child is expendable.

Why do pro-lifers continue to show those almost fully developed Fetus their films when this has nothing to so with abortions being performed?

I agree with you that the welfare system is a huge problem.
I WILL NOT HOWEVER let that make me turn on my fellow man with such viciousness as you are displaying!!!!
Your rage is misplaced. The ROOT of the problem is how government has been used to convince unsuspecting HUMAN BEINGS to abandon the values that make for a life worth living.
We need to get together to stop the progressives from using the machinery of government to destroy healthy family life.
It is sad to witness the effects of INDUCED societal degradation. But raging at the people caught in the destruction is the wrong response. Instead, let’s educate ourselves and realize that we need to go after the Progressives and catch them by the heels and rip them down from their lofty perches from which they have been orchestrating our demise.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 2:47pmFor many reasons abortions are sad.
However, there is not human life in the womb. Biological life, yes, but only God can can provide a human soul to biological life and He does so when the fetus takes it’s first breath of life. Until then, there is no human being to murder or kill.
There is biological life to kill which is womb/placenta dependent; just as cells in an arm are dependent and can die from a tourniquet. The Fetus is an extension of the mothers body which has the potential to become a separate human being.
Christians who make abortion an issue in the life of other people are wrong, they fail to make Christ the answer, they alienate people, they attempt to use the sin of guilt to manipulate people. If they spent as much time and effort focused on children who are living as they do on fetuses who have not even been born it would change the world. The 6 million-plus pregnancies in 1996 in the U.S. resulted in 3.9 million births, 1.3 million induced abortions, and almost a million fetal deaths. This means that 62 percent of pregnancies ended in a live birth, 22 percent ended in abortion, and 16 percent ended in a miscarriage or stillbirth.
Were the miscarriages and stillbirths murders…is God a murder? Are the mothers to blame? Did they have too much stress, bad diet or whatever to cause a miscarriages or still birth?
Truly Roe v. Wade is the best solution on this matter–just let it go and seek Christ.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 3:06pmHmm .. have to disagree with you, although your explanation of when life starts is probably the best I’ve heard so far. I have performed hundreds of regressions and I can easily tell you that a baby inside the womb can recall music, and even things that were said (PRIOR TO BIRTH). There has been many cases of reincarnation where the child told the parents “I chose you to be my parents”. We are talking on a spirt or soul level. You may not believe in regressions, but all it takes is for you to sit through ONE, and you are a believer. The detail is incredible. I DO have to agree that not all babies have a soul inside the womb, and I DO believe it is the life force required at the time of birth. When that soul enters the physical body, I don’t think either one of us is qualified to answer that. I am simply making a statement from my experience with hundreds of clients that I have regressed.

We can’t make up our own morality and create our own little personal Jesus. This mushy sentimental, relativistic Christianity is going to help push our country past the brink. You state that human life begins at the baby’s first breath. On what authority do you make that declaration? So are you saying that its ok and moral for a doctor to fully deliver a baby and instead of smacking its rear to make it breath, its ok for him to kill it? Is it still only biological life because it hasn’t breathed yet? Do you really think that a full term, fully delivered baby is only biological life before its first breath and human life after its first breath even though the development of the brain and nervous system hasn’t changed in those moments? The fact is, you don‘t know and I don’t know for sure when human life begins, but I strongly lean toward the moment of conception. Either way, when there‘s any doubt you don’t kill it. You err on the side of life. If you have to blow up a building and you have a doubt as to whether or not there are people inside, you don’t blow it up. Case closed.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 3:36pmYou say that actual spiritual life is granted by God at the moment of live birth. But in reading the Bible, we can see that answer is incorrect. In fact, we find more than one example that there is life (actual, spiritual life) even while still in the womb.
For example, in Job 3:11, the lament asks why he didn’t give up the ghost when he came out of the belly. Obviously he must have already had the spirit while in the belly in order to be able to give it up.
Also in Isaiah 49:1, we are told that God knew him in the womb….even spoke his name. Why would God call one who is not spiritually alive…let alone “make mention” of his name?
Jeremiah 1:5 goes even further to say that BEFORE being formed in the womb, God knew him…and while in the womb He sanctified and ordained him.
Indeed, the Bible is littered with examples of spiritual life even within the womb (Jacob, John the Baptist, Jesus, etc). To claim the spiritual life is granted by God only at the moment of live birth is not in accordance with God’s scriptures.
As a Christian, I am called to love and care for the living….but according to the Scriptures that my faith is founded in, that includes those still in the womb.

Posted on December 9, 2011 at 4:38pmI have seen at least one individual charged with the murder of an unborn child. He killed a pregnant mother and her daughter. The man was charged for three murders because the baby was also killed when the mother was killed. How can the government charge this man for murder, but not the doctors performing abortions, or the mothers who chose to do so? Is it because the mother “chooses” to kill her child? Killing is what it is, ending a life.
Report Post »Abortion is killing, whether or not we call it murder is besides the point. The point is a life is taken. People have argued about when a life begins, only to feel better about allowing abortion. If you don’t call it a human being until a certain point, it allows people to accept the idea that it is not killing a human being. If the pregnancy is left to term, a baby (human being) is born. Abortion ends a life, period. There is not way to talk your way around it.

“Is God a murderer?” you ask about stillbirths and miscarriages. Hm. Tell you what, let’s use the same argument and refer to the millions of natural deaths that occur each year and justify murder! After all, if somebody didn’t blow a hole in their neighbor’s head, God eventually would!
You are ignorant. God respects his natural laws that reign over our lives. We are born, we die. Children die. Adults die. 20-somethings die. The obese die. The exercise enthusiasts die. Because of natural laws that are in his hand and that bend to his whimsy.
But then why do we pursue murders like dogs? Why do we track them to the corners of the globe, bring them back, try them before their peers, then strap them to a stretcher and ram a needle in their arm to bring their heart to a screeching halt?! Because they have TAKEN life outside the realm of justice. They have done what is reserved for God and His nature.
But what do we do in abortion? Rip the limps off a creature with a beating heart, fill the mother’s womb with its blood, then cave a hole in its skull and spew its brains into a sink! Barbarity! Unadulterated barbarity! And you sit or ma’am have the GALL to use the name of Christ??!! Shame on you! I hope your heart is converted from your pitiful state!

Unfortunately, over generations women and men have been raising boys to be effeminate and this has led to more and more men who are not really men. They are nothing more than children who take no responsibility for their actions and don’t stand up to their women when she says that she is going to get an abortion. Any person who can stand by and watch as their partner kills their child is not a real man or woman for that matter.

As someone involved in the Pro-Life movement, I often get into discussions with Pro-Choice people about abortion. Often I hear the question…..”Well, what if the woman was raped?” My answer: “Why do we have to murder the product of that rape? Most often women are raped by someone they know — a family member (incest) or boyfriend. While that woman is not able or willing to go after the perpetrator at that very moment, allowing that baby to live will give her the chance to prosecute later (when she is emotionally stronger) because of DNA evidence. Why not love both of them and offer the woman help through a very traumatic time of her life???
Women who aborted after a rape often — very often — come back later and say they regret the abortion more than the rape. They felt trapped by their situation and often were pressured into aborting.
The Pro-Life community has the very fiber of commitment that Glenn is talking about with his “Honoring Love” message. There is enough love to go around for both mother and child.
