The Passing of a Legend

Recently, Costco announced that it will continue to not offer the abortion pill mifepristone….the reason Costco gave points to something more significant—a possible cultural shift.
Let’s Understand What Abortion Is:
Abortion is the “deliberate termination of a human pregnancy” and it ends the life of an innocent human being, the baby in the womb.
A Fetus is a New Life- YES!
Thank you to Mike Purling for sharing his story of being adopted rather than being aborted.
