Jesus was only ever angry with all twelve disciples when those disciples rebuked parents for bringing babies to be blessed by Him. In Mark chapter 10, Jesus reprimands the disciples because He says, “the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” What is it about a baby making him the perfect picture of heaven’s
Recently NY declared abortion a fundamental human right, applauding even late term abortion. Because of these legislative actions NY’s largest annual pro-life event, CompassCare’s Walk for Life on May 4, is expected to be even larger. Churches, businesses, and thousands of sponsors and walkers, raise awareness that a woman seeks abortion because she feels like
What is the anchoring belief of pro-lifers? All pro-life conviction is rooted in the eternal truth that humans are made in the image of God, reflecting God’s image equally.

On January 22, 2019, under the cover of the now infamous Reproductive Health Act, New York’s legislature passed SB 660, otherwise known as the “Boss Bill.” It now awaits Governor Cuomo’s signature.

New York’s Reproductive Health Act declares abortion a human right. This newfangled right will quickly conflict with freedom of religion for pro-life medical professionals and freedom of speech in pro-life pregnancy centers. NY’s right to abortion actually sets the stage to attack those that would protect babies and their mothers from abortion. It gets worse.
Recently, Trisha moved to Rochester to escape a domestic abuse situation. Alone, without a job, money, or any local connections, Trisha discovered she was also pregnant. Without any insurance or means to pay for an abortion, she contacted CompassCare, grateful that she would be seen for free. Trisha’s nurse warmly greeted her and invited her
When New York’s legislature passed the now infamous Reproductive Health Act (RHA) in January, the nation staggered and drew back in shame and horror. People are shocked and disgusted at the barbarity of a State legislature applauding the fabricated human right to kill preborn boys and girls. It was as if people of conscience suddenly
New York did not actually legalize late-term abortion via the Reproductive Health Act. Late-term abortion has always been legally available to women in NY based on the broadly defined category of the health of the mother.
