We have been hearing much about ‘fake news’ these days, because that is much of what we have been getting. There is probably also such a thing as ‘true and accurate news,’ but that is rare, and increasingly difficult to recognize. There is also ‘satirical news’ which is what The Babylon Bee specializes in, advertising itself as “Your Trusted Source for Christian News Satire.” Satire is defined as “a composition in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.” The news items on The Babylon Bee are hardly ever ‘true,’ but they almost always ‘speak the truth.’ That is most certainly true of this item, posted January 21, 2017 at:

Survey: 100% Of People Marching On Washington Were Not Aborted
WASHINGTON, D.C.—In a survey conducted in the nation’s capital Saturday, a full 100% of the people marching on the nation’s capital for abortion rights as part of the “Women’s March on Washington” were found to have not been aborted by their mothers when they were yet to be born.
The controversial study indicates that there may be a connection between participating in any kind of protest, and having a mother willing to carry you to term beforehand.
“There seems to be a very strong correlation between your biological mother choosing not to end your life in the womb, and your chances of showing up to a protest about something,” a reporter present at the march said. “I’ve interviewed hundreds of people out here today, and it’s astounding— not a single one of them was terminated when they were still in their mother’s womb.”
At publishing time, reports had discovered similar statistics at all other Women’s March events from around the globe.

A MOTHER’S PRAYER DURING PREGNANCY:
O Lord God Almighty, who hast made us out of nothing, and redeemed us by the precious blood of thine only Son; preserve, I beseech thee, the work of thy hands, and defend both me and the tender fruit of my womb from all perils and evils. I beg of thee, for myself, thy grace, protection, and a happy delivery; and for my child, that thou wouldst preserve it for baptism, sanctify it for thyself, and make it thine forever. Through Jesus Christ, thy Son, our Lord. Amen.
—The Christian’s Guide to Heaven, 1794
