Miami clinic Trusts women to be deceived on abortion and weight loss product

Secular Pro Life uncovers just how much this abortion mill trusts women. They obviously trust that they can be duped....will their new ad slogan become trim and kill. I wonder if they sell up as in after you abort your offspring, want to get skinny. Maybe they will offer buy one get one half price. 

Update: Here is some more information from the FDA regarding off-label prescription use of HCG.  (It is not clear whether Women & Teens is using "homeopathic" HCG, which is banned outright, or simply using prescription HCG in an unapproved manner.)

Despite the medical consensus that HCG does not help people lose weight, Women & Teens Medical Center is openly offering this pseudo-scientific weight loss treatment in the current (January 26) edition of the Miami New Times.

The advertisement as it currently appears in the
online edition of the Miami New Times

Women & Teens Medical Center also advertises the "termination pill," by which they presumably mean the dangerous early-term abortion pill RU-486. According to their website, they also perform abortions surgically.

Women & Teens Medical Center is using deceptive advertising by selling HCG as a weight loss aid and claiming that it is "the most effective."  This is just one of a long string of cases that show abortion centers putting profit over women's health.

• Star Studded Super Step’s Andy Moore has birthed a new website, AbortionWiki.org, which intends to compile information on the global abortion industry into one online reference (a Wikipedia of sorts about abortion). A new advisory board for the site has been formed, consisting of many “all-stars” in the pro-life movement. Find and bookmark!
• Live Action has an interview with our own Jill Stanek on the things pro-lifers can do, here and now, to make a difference against abortion:Stanek’s best advice for those who want to help the pro-life movement is to pay attention to what is going on around you. She asks, “Where are you right now? Look around. Jesus reached out to his little circle in Jerusalem. He started at home. Don’t make it hard. Start at home.”

• Reflections of a Paralytic shares the story that even stunned CNN’s Anderson Cooper: thirtysomething man Trent Arsenault (pictured left) – who claims to be a virgin by choice so his sperm remains disease-free – has sired 15 children via sperm bank donations. The stunning (and disgusting) part? He shares video of his sperm collection techniques on a porn website.
• Vital Signs focuses on the “Heart for the Disabled” valentine project, sponsored by Joni Eareckson Tada.
• John Smeaton reports that Irish radio producer, Daniel Reardon, made a drama on abortion which was unfortunately never broadcast. The production will be available for free on Amazon tomorrow, January 28.
• Secular Pro-Life’s Kelsey Hazzard highlights here appearance on NPR’s “Tell Me More” panel discussion, which included abortion proponents. Unfortunately, the network’s heavy editing of Hazzard’s remarks (which has happened to other pro-life leaders on the program in the past) hindered the pro-life message from being explained with clarity. Listen to the program here.
• Suzy B posts the 2012 State of the Unborn Address by President Marjorie Dannenfelser:

Baltimore's declining population can be linked to high abortion rates

Diana Schaub is professor of political science at Loyola University Maryland and a member of the Hoover Institution's Task Force on the Virtues of a Free Society. She  posts an  article in the Baltimore Sun that is sure to cause some stir with its frankness. The article points out the "decline in population  for six straight decades that has reduced the population by a third." Now the mayor  of Baltimore wants to start a program to increase the population by 22,000 in 10 years.  The article makes some stark observations,  but the people have to stop burying their head in the sand first.

"The decline of marriage, particularly among African-Americans, is all too familiar. Not as well-known is that Maryland has a very high abortion  rate (third highest among the states in 2005, the year that the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene stopped collecting abortion statistics). The breakdown by jurisdiction reveals that Baltimore City is driving those deadly numbers, and also that the abortion rate among African-American women is at least triple the white rate."

The  fact filled but hard hitting article ends with a quote from a famous work of art.....

 "For a model of commitment to life, we might start with the great speech given by Mama to her feckless son in Lorraine Hansberry's 1959 play "A Raisin in the Sun": "I'm waiting to hear how you be your father's son. Be the man he was. ... Your wife say she going to destroy your child. And I'm waiting to hear you talk like him and say we a people who give children life, not who destroys them."

Wow, way to tell it!!

March for Life 2012...youth....church.....LIFE

Thanks to the nice people at KY Right to Life and many people of faith who chartered three buses to Washington DC and allowing a stowaway...I got to go to the March for Life for the first time. I always wanted to go and could not find anyone  that I could go along with so I always went to our Nashville version of March for Life which is also very good. 

But there is nothing like being a part of 400,000 people standing for the sanctity of human life. The march itself was not that long. The weather was rainy but it could have been worse and the standing still for the  speeches were not that bad either. I enjoyed people watching....and I saw something AMAZING.

I saw the CHURCH STAND UP. The crowd was huge, the youth were in splendid display and the church was very visible.  The crowd was civil and polite and  tidy especially considering the rain and mud. Signs that were disposed were done so in trash barrels.  I did not see any protesters and no indication of the Occupy Wall Streets squatters.


Perhaps I was just imagining I was in DC for this event because.....looking for news reports on this largest annual march you find the following:


Bob Smietana who writes for the Tennessean and USA Today said that  thousands were there.  Thousands...as in 400 thousand? He did profile some pro life students from Hendersonville TN who attended but in true liberal fashion referred to them as anti abortion as opposed to pro life. That is part of the MSM PC speech book. 

NY Times ignored the event as it has for the  the past five years. Washington Post posted a brief mention in the online version and opinion page that made it seem like small potatoes and had more concern for what streets would be closed off.  Broadcast news outlets also passed on reporting for this event. Maybe this is why people lack trust for the MSM.




Here is a first person report ......... large crowd........more youth....the Church stood up.....FOR LIFE.

TN: Choice runs counter to MLK's dream

Excellent article in the Knox News by Greg Johnson Choice Movement Runs Counter to King's Dream

"Peter M. Kirsanow, a member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, last year described how the commission is forbidden from examining the abortion disparity. He wrote, "Nearly one out of every two black pregnancies ends in abortion. Blacks account for more than 40 percent of all abortions in America, a rate that dwarfs that of any other race. Why the silence? Are some lives less valuable than others?"

"The very least those who recognize the inherent worth of every person, who claim compassion, can do is stand with those too young, too small, too weak to raise a sign that declares, "I am human."

• At Catholic Herald, Barbara Curtis recalls her own story of transformation from a pro-abortion feminist (viewing her “right to choose” as “a sacrament”) to a pro-life mother of 12. Regarding feminism, she writes:Perhaps it’s time to wake up and slap some cold water on your faces. It’s time to stop the hypocrisy, to sever the ideals of feminism — dignity for women, equal status, equal opportunity, equal pay — from what has become a religious and one-dimensional devotion to death.
  From Barbara’s MommyLife blog also comes this funny graphic on co-sleeping:

• Vital Signs links to more information on Canada’s growing problem of sex-selection abortion, and how medical professionals are attempting to combat the practice which has increased with the influx of Asian and Indian immigrants.
• Pro-Life Action League discusses new Chicago regulations that could make it harder for common citizens to assemble and practice their right to free speech.

• Pro Life Wisconsin profiles the faithful sidewalk counselors at the now-closed Northern Illinois Women’s Center in Rockford (pictured left). One counselor says she was joined outside by a woman from Poland who remarked that “the stone on the outside of the building are the same kind of stone used in Dachau” concentration camp.
• Star Studded Super Step’s Andy Moore and wife Daena were surprised to discover, in their search for prenatal development information about their son, that the popular BabyCenter.com website advocates the use of abortifacient Plan B as a backup to regular birth control:The accuracy of BabyCenter.com’s claim that ECP prevents pregnancy depends upon the understanding of when pregnancy begins. Advocates of abortion like to tell us that pregnancy begins upon implantation, however the medical community is by no means in agreement on this subject.
  Ultimately, regardless of when pregnancy technically begins, BabyCenter.com is advocating the killing of human beings at just a few days old, by use of the Morning After pill.
• John Smeaton responds to the claims of the pro-abortion World Health Organization and Guttmacher Institute that illegal abortions are on the rise globally:Promoters of legal abortion have a proven track-record of making wildly exaggerated claims about the number of so-called ‘unsafe’ or illegal abortions. Such false claims were made in 1967 to lobby for the UK’s Abortion Act and in the 1970s to justify the US’s Roe v Wade decision. The late Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the US abortion pioneer who became pro-life, admitted that he deliberately exaggerated the estimated number of illegal abortions five-fold when campaigning for abortion legalisation.
  The truth is that countries with strict laws against abortion have lower maternal death rates than countries which allow abortion widely. Ireland, where abortion is banned, has one of the world’s best maternal health records. Legalised abortion does nothing to improve medical care.

Mother saying goodbye to dead baby brings him back to life....

Watch this wonderful story...I had heard about this in the past,  but this update shows that apparently the miracle baby Jamie is doing well. Several things are brought to mind as I read this. First, I had to think of the ridiculous tirade of Alan Colmes in his attempt to mock Rick Santorum for taking his baby who lived only a few hours home to grieve  with his children. He quickly apologized via Twitter when public scorn shamed him. 

The next thing I thought of was how smart these parents were and only through their method of grieving and affirming Jamie's life actually saved his life. Note that the only way they could get the doctor to come back and actually see that they were not out of their minds was to say they had come to terms with the death of Jamie and only wanted his further explanation. Note how both the mom and dad shed their shirts so the baby could feel and smell their flesh. The mom even nursed her baby......listening Alan????

Tragedy at sea points to tragedy of new reality between sexes

Everyone is hearing about the terrible tragedy at sea.... how the crew and captain of the 
Costa Concordia,  grounded off the coast of Tuscany, carrying over 4K passengers acted cowardly and pushed women and children aside to jump into lifeboats. When I first heard the story, I remembered that many crew members were probably entertainers, waiters, store clerks, cleaners etc who were not trained in evacuation techniques.  This does not excuse their behavior but helps us understand it.  But the terrible tapes of the captain acting with such cowardice toward his ship and passengers in his care brought other thoughts to mind.


Rich Lowry wrote an excellent piece in the National Review contrasting the character of the captain and crew  of the Titanic in years past to what just happened. No doubt, chivalry and honor appear to be dead. This brought to mind a piece by Albert Mohler on the state of manhood today.  One of the unintended consequences of the feminists movement seems to be the feminizing of our men. We see this in the workforce and hear comments about this from men. They want to be equal, well let them do the heavy lifting. So in times of panic and tragedy, the men have not been raised to care for the women and children first but to have a view of "every man for himself" attitude.   


We  share in the blame of this new reality.

Estrich on dogs and babies.....isn't her character test flawed??

I can thank the Tennessean newspaper for helping me cut down on caffeine.  I am the type who wakes up slowly , but before my  second cup is finished I am bolted wide awake by something I read in the Tennessean.

Today they had an opinion piece by Susan Estrich, the Democrat strategist and former campaign manager for Michael Dukakis.  I could not find it online at the Tennessean but found the column online. I note the Tennessean made up their own headline of ....His dog will tell you a lot about a man. 

It told a story about the late President Richard Nixon I had never heard....that he once fled his burning home leaving his dog behind. Then she told another story I had never heard ...that Romney tells of a family vacation years ago when they carried the family dog in a crate on top of the car for 12 hours. Now I must admit that this sounds strange since the family is not poor but they did have five children. So Susan goes on to suggest that you can tell a lot about the true character of a man who would treat his dog that way. 


She then gushes  over her three dogs.......

"I am the mother of three loving dogs: Judy Jarvis Estrich, Molly Isabel Estrich and Irving A. Estrich. Sometimes, being the worrywart that I am, I actually spend time thinking about how I would round up my dogs in the car in case there was a tsunami or a fire. It goes without saying that I would never leave without them."

 Well.......Susan.....first of all it is fine for us to say what we would do in the event we were caught in a fire but we may not live up to our own wonderful expectations. I surely hope all your three dogs are together when  your house catches on fire or obey your commands in an emergency.  

BUT, what I further thought as I read you ridiculous tirade demeaning the Republicans is the time you went on national television to talk about your two abortions. Susan is a strong supporter of abortion rights and Planned Parenthood. She discussed her two abortions....the first, per Susan, was a child conceived in rape.  We all agree that rape is a horrible act of violence against a woman. She did not mention what happened, if anything, to the perpetrator of the rape but she had an abortion. Here is a hard but true fact. That child was totally innocent and paid the price for the crime of the father with his/her life.  The second abortion was because a dr. advised her that her baby had a terrible defect. Again.....so terrible to hear but , for Susan,  the answer was not to carry to term and care for the child as long as he/she lived. The answer was abortion. How final.....how sad. 


Susan waxes on how Judy, her oldest dog,  prefers the front seat but really the back is safer...says we can tell a lot about the character of a man by the way he treats his dogs.

All this from a woman who wouldn't treat her dogs the way she treated her children. 


Yes, I am wide awake!
