Choose Life… How like King Herod today’s abortion providers are. First, he pretends he wants to worship the new born baby Jesus, but hidden behind his deceitful words is a heart set on destruction of the Child. The magi, wise that they were, saw in a dream Herod’s true intentions and did not report the child’s location to the destruction-minded king. Today’s Herod’s tell that they have their best interests at heart, meanwhile planning the destruction of their unborn children.
