Third Trimester Abortion Exposed by NY Press
By Editorial Staff
Published February 1992
NEW YORK, NY – The New York Post’s opening lead in a December headline read: “Police yesterday raided a filthy Lower East Side medical office and arrested a doctor they say ripped the arm off a fetus he was trying to abort – but who was born alive the next day.”
Dr. Abu Hayat, 61, who is accused of ripping the arm off a third trimester baby during an illegal abortion, also frightened his client into paying $1,500 – Hayat reportedly charged his victim, Rosa Rodriguez, $1,000 in cash, plus her passport, green card and jewelry as collateral for the other $500.
The good news is that the baby, Ana Rosa Rodriguez, shown in bandages on the front-page of Newsday, has been released from a New York hospital, and is doing fine, although she is missing an arm.
There are about 100 abortion clinics in New York City. About a dozen are licensed by the state. The others are run by doctors who set up shop, and do the job with varying degrees of skill, counting the cash above their hygiene, staff credentials, records, and procedures. Even the licensed clinics are unsafe. The Eastern Women’s Center on East 30th Street, for example, has been the site of the deaths of two females; between 1986 and 1988, it was fined $92,000 for all kinds of violations.
Few abortion clinics are ever closed by New York state. Even Dr. Abu Hayat, was not suspended by the state Health Department until the exposé coming from New York’s sensational news tabloids promoted an outcry against Hayat. Legal abortion has moved from the back alley to the front parlor. The process is still unsafe, only the profits are a lot bigger.

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Over four hours of instruction!
Just what is “Calvinism?” Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won’t evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten “Sunday-school-sized” sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the “historical Jesus” — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
This presentation explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views.
Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — “the same yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.
Ten parts, over two hours of instruction!
Running Time: 130 minutes
