New York Senate Passes Bill Legalizing Abortions Up to Birth
The New York Senate passed a radical pro-abortion bill Tuesday, January 22, 2019 that would allow unborn babies to be aborted for basically any reason up to birth.
Metro reports the bill passed after abortion activists pushed it for more than a decade in New York. Until now, it failed to pass the state Senate because of Republican lawmakers, but the November election put pro-abortion Democrats in control of both houses.
The vote was 38-24.
A New York Public Radio reporter said she heard a voice shout, “May almighty God have mercy on this state!” in the Senate soon after the vote.
The legislation goes beyond Roe v. Wade, allowing abortions even when the Supreme Court has said states may regulate them, according to the pro-life leaders. Late-term abortions, which currently are illegal in New York, would be allowed, and non-doctors would be allowed to perform them. LifeNews

Whom Was Martin Luther King, Jr. Talking to in His
‘Letter from the Birmingham Jail’? LifeSiteNews
In our current struggles how many times have you been told that we need to be "reasonable" or "polite" and not offend people? Or that you are being an "extremist" because you confront people (and public officials) with the truth? That you need to go through "proper channels" and not be disagreeable? Or that your church has decided it's best to avoid difficult social issues? Sadly, this isn't new.
As you know, Martin Luther King Day was observed yesterday. We can learn a lot from King.
Perhaps the most famous work by Martin Luther King, Jr. was his "Letter from the Birmingham Jail." It was written on April 16, 1963, while King was languishing in jail. He had been arrested while leading a campaign of public protests against racial discrimination. In this long letter (6,875 words) he discusses his philosophy, observations on society, and the reasons why he does what he does.
It's now considered a classic work. But it's less well-known – but no less interesting – specifically to whom Dr. King was writing the letter on that difficult day in 1963.
King wrote the letter as a reply to eight very prominent Alabama clergymen. They were in basic agreement with King that segregation should end. But four days earlier, on April 12, 1963, those eight clergymen published a strong statement in the local newspapers urging blacks to withdraw their support from King and his demonstrations. They accused King of being an outsider, of using "extreme measures" that incite "hatred and violence", that King's demonstrations are "unwise and untimely", and that the racial issues should instead be "properly pursued in the courts."

While in jail, King read their public statement in a newspaper and wrote his reply on scraps of paper he was able to gather. MLK's Reply
