Alicia Keys had already achieved massive success and fame when she became pregnant with her second child. But an abortion came to her mind when she thought about her busy career and her husband’s Harvard Business School plans. As abortion activists often tell women, she thought another baby would get in the way of their plans and add to their already overwhelming schedules. Then, the lyrics of a song made her rethink her decision, and she chose life for her unborn baby. Thinking back to 2014, Keys said she felt she “wasn’t ready” for another baby and told her doctor that when she learned about her second pregnancy. “’This is the worst time ever. I’m working on my next album. My husband just got into Harvard Business School. And I’ve been drinking—a lot.’ I left her office feeling so torn,” she remembered. “The music I was creating felt more important and urgent than just about everything. I’d have to put off its release for at least a year if I chose to have the baby,” she continued. One night, her perspective changed when she went to the studio to think. She said she began listening to a song that she and her husband wrote, “More Than We Know,” and the lyrics spoke to her. “The lyrics are about how we’re capable of so much more than we can ever imagine,” Keys wrote. “My eyes filled with tears. How could I take away the potential for this beautiful child, this light that could touch others in ways I couldn’t dream of. For me, the song was a powerful message that I should go on with the pregnancy.” In December 2014, Keys and her husband welcomed their son Genesis. Keys also may have been inspired by her own mother who chose life for her in much more difficult circumstances. Terry Augello was single and working as a paralegal when she became pregnant with Keys. Though she struggled financially, she ultimately rejected abortion, making huge sacrifices to give her daughter a chance at life. “I am so grateful to her for choosing me,” Keys said. “And I really appreciate her.”

@Moderatemuch @LizzieMarbach Lol nice AI overview, bub

NOT A BAD ARTICLE. It’s not our fault that you don’t believe God is the creator of all, and His truths are present even in Paganism, as Paul literally tells us. 😂😂😂 The article argues that reflecting on the Hindu understanding of Shiva—especially his role as a “destroyer”—can deepen a Catholic understanding of Lent as a process of spiritual destruction leading to renewal. ⸻ 1. Reframing “Destruction” as Spiritual Good •In Hinduism, Shiva is not a malicious destroyer but a benevolent one. •His “destruction” targets: •illusion •ego •harmful habits •This destruction is necessary for transformation, like shedding old skin.  👉 Key insight: Destruction is not opposed to goodness—it is often the precondition for renewal. ⸻ 2. Parallel in Biblical Theology The author argues this idea is not foreign to Christianity: •God “destroys” in Scripture: •the flood (purification) •the plagues (liberation) •Most importantly: •Christ’s death → resurrection 👉 Therefore, Christianity already contains a pattern: destruction → purification → new life  ⸻ 3. Lent as “Destruction of Attachments” Using Ignatius of Loyola: •Sin is framed as “inordinate attachments” •These include: •wealth, power, identity, success, etc. Lent becomes: •a season of intentional destruction •removing what competes with God 👉 Not just “giving things up,” but: cutting away what blocks love of God and neighbor  ⸻ 4. Shiva as a Symbolic Lens for Lent Shiva provides a helpful analogy: •destroys ego (snake imagery) •enables transformation •makes way for something new This mirrors Lent: •fasting = destruction of appetite •penance = destruction of disordered desires •repentance = destruction of false self 👉 The comparison is analogical, not theological equivalence (the author explicitly notes Hinduism ≠ Catholicism)

Yikes.

From Artemis II. Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

@penelopedidit2 @nathanweisser @daksims What about the baby?

It's not murder. It is asserting our inalienable right to not have our bodies used against our will. "No right is held more sacred or is more carefully guarded by the common law than the right of every individual to the possession and control of his own person, free from all restraint or interference of others . . . ~ U. S. Supreme Court ~

It took 11 years defending himself over one story. This is what they do to people who hold them accountable. Nobody is held accountable because the people who have the power to do so are afraid of the retaliation. But David is different. His love of truth was greater than his regard for himself.

@penelopedidit2 @nathanweisser @daksims And? She gets to keep her uterus. She just can't murder the child she made inside of it.

@IanDaKitchen @nathanweisser @daksims Like it or not that uterus belongs to the woman whose body it is inside.

@penelopedidit2 @nathanweisser @daksims Lol. Like it or not, the mother's womb is the infant's rightful home.

@IanDaKitchen @nathanweisser @daksims Location matters. Like it or not. If you are standing in your house, you are safe and secure. But if you have no food and go to your neighbors house for nourishment, you may get shot.

@brandon_adams @BenZeisloft you know where this meme resides?

Anyone have the Moloch/abortion meme/cartoon with a woman sacrificing her child to have a career? Thought I bookmarked it but can't find it.

@KatelynTweeter Yes

If you are pro-life would you ever be willing to adopt an unwanted baby? Trying to prove a point.

@penelopedidit2 @nathanweisser @daksims Similarities: - Both human - Both 100% dependent on parents PHYSICAL care for survival Differences: - Size - Location (inside / outside womb) - Nature of physical connection You hate small, weak, vulnerable people and you lobby for their destruction. Admit it. You aren't dumb.

That's funny. They are two totally different things. A two year old is not physically connected to someone else's body and using that body's resources to maintain life. A two year oldest body is independent from any other body. Stop giving this scenario. You aren't that dumb, I'm sure.

Well well well Notice that the liberal justices suddenly refer to unborn babies as people with full rights when the subject changes from abortion to immigration Like magic

@penelopedidit2 @nathanweisser @daksims If your daughter murdered her 2 year old, would you want her to be held accountable by the law? Or would you want to legalize murdering 2 year olds?

@nathanweisser @daksims What if it's your daughter, though?

Make it make sense …

NBA Player Daniel Gafford was asked about his shirt that says "Faith isn’t for the weak." He said it’s not for the weak but he doesn’t want to be waived like Jaden Ivey so he would not expand further on the meaning. The @NBA is stifling Christian speech.

BREAKING: Artist confirms the mural for Iryna will be removed after RI Mayor Brett Smiley called for it to be taken down

🚨 In 2023 Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested on felony charges of strangulation of his girlfriend and plead guilty to charges. The NBA issued Porter Jr a 4 game suspension. Jaden Ivey, proclaimed Christianity and was released by the Bulls for "Conduct Detrimental" to the team.

Never heard of Jaden Ivey till today, he’s now my favourite basketball player ever!
