Chemical Spills: What is Coal Ash?
Environmental Pollution
Environmental pollution is a popular issue after World War II. It can be said that pollution is the
result of our social development through the means of science. Pollution is the product of our
scientific achievements being applied for the improvement of human facilities.
Science is the root of development of the human society and it also the cause which has brought up
many problems in the human society. One such havoc caused by the social development of the
human society is pollution. Environmental pollution has become the biggest problem to the human
race on this planet. Pollution is adding impurity to our environment; our environment consists of
earth, water, air, plants and animals. Pollution in our environment will hamper the core of existence
of
man
and
nature.

Absortion
Since 1973 Americans have been killing their babies at the rate of 4,000 per
day, or 1 1/2 million per year. The 40th anniversary of the Court's decision in
2013 will mark a total slaughter of almost 60 million babies. That's ten times
the death count of Hitler who murdered 6 million Jews.
The Pros and Cons
I realize there are many sincere people, even professing Christians, who
believe abortion should be a matter of personal choice. These people
have developed many sophisticated arguments in behalf of abortion. But
those arguments do not stand the test of Scripture or logic or
experience.
1) "Is it fair," the abortionists ask, "to bring a baby into the
world who is unwanted?"This argument is an emotional deception.
There is no such thing as an unwanted baby because there are hundreds
of thousands of couples in America today who ardently desire to adopt a
child.
2) "But what about rape victims?" the abortionists scream. Again,
this argument is an emotional manipulation. Less than one percent of
rape victims ever conceive, due probably to the trauma involved. But
even in those situations where conception does occur, should the baby
be killed for its father's crime?
3) "But we must provide for the protection of the mother's
life," argue the abortionists. But is this a valid issue? Consider these
words by the former Surgeon-General of the U.S., Dr. C. Everett Koop:
Protection of the life of the mother as an excuse for an abortion is a smoke
screen. In my 36 years of pediatric surgery, I have never known of one instance
where the child had to be aborted to save the mother's life. If toward the end of
the pregnancy complications arise that threaten the mother's health, the
doctor will either induce labor or perform a Caesarian section. His intention is
to save the life of both the mother and the baby. The baby's life is never
willfully destroyed because the mother's life is in danger.
