That is one of the most pitiful things I have seen in my life. Back in the days of the 60's & 70's so many young girls drinking and doing drugs when they were pregnant. I was one of them with my first child. I was just a kid, and I did know right from wrong. But of course when you are living that life it doesn't matter. And there are consequences that you live with the rest of your life. As do the kids.

Phelps, this is a waste of time. Then you will get back on the Glutton horse and ask them why they don't give equal time to other sins. The Fairness Doctrine. Can we ask YOU a question? Do you believe it's okay for a Child of God to smoke cigarettes? You believe it pleases God?
