Thank God that is all I can keep thinking. I am truly so excited and just in shock at how many people have viewed and have shared the Phil Robertson speech that I posted last January on Youtube. Today I woke up to my inbox literally exploding with comments on it. Now I hasten to say once again that the video isn't really mine. It does NOT belong to me in anyway shape or form. The actual video it came from has been online and on Youtube since Febuary of 2010. The whole speech can be seen in it's entirety and I highly recommend it here...http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0B41BB3029AD5BD3

I only shared the Pro-life part of the speech here on A Voice for Hope and on Facebook because I thought then as I still think now that it is a powerful, and much needed speech on the value and defense of human life that is sorely needed in our world today!

I have no idea what made it get noticed and go viral all of a sudden as it did yesterday. But I thank God for it! Thank God for letting this message be heard and shared by so many! May it help wake people up and save many lives! And may God bless Phil Robertson and his family and Duck Dynasty for their standing for what is right and not being afraid to say it publicly!

Please keep sharing and liking and let's get this one seen around the world!

God bless LIFE!

I posted yesterday about GMC showing October Baby for what was it's premiere on TV. I was so excited to hear this because October Baby is such a great movie and I believe that it will save countless lives through it's wonderful message. It is arguably the best pro-life movie ever made, it changes peoples lives and changes how people see abortion. 
I was very shocked and extremely disappointed to hear today that GMC cut out one of the most important scenes of the whole movie where Jasmine Guy's character who was the nurse when Hannah's mother had the abortion is telling Hannah about what happened. Now what makes this one of the most important scenes in the movie is where Guy's character tells Hannah that at the clinic they tell you that "it's tissue that's what they told us, it was tissue that couldn't survive, nonviable tissue. " She then tells her more of what happened when Hannah was born (I won't write any more on that because I don't want to ruin the movie for those that haven't seen it yet.) But she tells her that "I saw the pain, and I didn't see no tissue. I just saw the face of a child." and that is what changed her and opened her eyes and she quits working at the abortion clinic. 
This is one of the strongest messages in the entire movie and gmc edited it out when it aired last night according to many viewers, LifeNews.com, and LifeSiteNews.com . I didn't get to personally watch it myself last night but I was shocked and very disappointed when I read about this today and I wanted to post about it here on the blog since I posted yesterday about it and encouraged everyone to watch it on GMC. Now I wish that was the only thing that they had done but gmc is also showing the little breast cancer awareness pink ribbon on the bottom corner of their screens this month and that lead some viewers to look up more about it on gmc's website and they found out that gmc is linking to a Susan G Komen Foundation video. Komen as has come out in the news gives money to Planned Parenthood who is the largest abortion provider in the U.S.  You can read more about that part it here...http://www.lifesitenews.com/blog/tv-station-cuts-pivotal-pro-life-scene-from-pro-life-movie-october-baby .
Now don't get me wrong I'm a huge supporter of breast cancer awareness and research. I'm always glad to see how much support that breast cancer research is getting. My mother and several of her sisters have fought breast cancer and several of them died from it. So I want to see breast cancer research and awareness furthered to where a cure can be found as soon as possible. But people need to give to and promote one of the other breast cancer organizations and NOT Susan G. Komen who gives money to Planned Parenthood. Please be careful and research about charities and organizations before you donate to them and before you advertise and post about them on your Facebook, Twitter, etc. as well. Because you don't want to promote or give your money to anyone helping to fund abortions. 
It is unbelievable to me that gmc would do these two things while giving the impression that they are a station that stands for Christian values and have the word Gospel in their name. Maybe they didn't know about the Komen and Planned Parenthood connection when they posted the video on their site, but if they don't they should now as several viewers (including myself) have posted about it on their Facebook page along with our comments on them editing the scenes of October Baby last night. GMC has posted the same statement to each of us that have commented on their Facebook page about these issues...
"Thank you for your feedback regarding our airing of October Baby this Sunday. Everything we do here at gmc is for our viewers and we greatly value your opinions.
We understand the importance of this film to our viewers and it was not our intent to alter or dilute the impact of October Baby in any way. All movies on gmc are edited for length and for various types of content (graphic violence, sex, language, etc.). We always aim to ensure that the essence of the story is not altered by the editing process. Upon further reflection in light of your comments, we agree that some of these edits were not necessary. We will be re-editing the film to re-introduce these portions in all future airings.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us."
God willing this is sincere and they mean what they say about re-editing the film and putting the scenes back in that they left out in all the future airings. But they never mentioned anything about the connection to Komen in any of the responses at least that I saw when I was on their Facebook page earlier today. I hope that they will take down that link as well and instead support breast cancer awareness through one of the many other great breast cancer organizations that does not give money to Planned Parenthood. 
Please buy the October Baby DVD and see the entire movie and all of the powerful message that the movie tells. And if you have the time please contact GMC and tell them they need to put all of October Baby on in the future without cutting the important scenes and mention they need to take down the links to Susan G Komen. You can contact them via their website or Facebook page. God willing they mean what they say and will do what is right. 

If you have not seen the movie October Baby yet please do yourself a favor and see this movie! This is one movie that I think everyone needs to see! It's powerful, entertaining, and it will move you! If you haven't had the chance to see it on DVD it is about to make it's TV premiere on GMC on Oct. the 14th at 7, 9, and 11 p.m. Please don't miss it you will be glad you didn't! And if you can't catch it on GMC or you can't DVR it do yourself a favor and buy the DVD this one is worth it! They have it available at our Walmart for only 12 dollars and you will be glad you did!

 Here are the details from GMC...
