I spoke to quite a few Christians who were upset when the New York governor signed the new abortion law. Christian media announced that the law would allow the killing of babies up to the date they are born. In truth, the law only allows a late-term abortion if the mother’s health is at risk.

Have you done anything you were afraid to tell your family and friends about? Something so horrendous you think there is no way anyone would love you if they knew?
