• Parenting Freedom nails wealthy, father-of-5 population control advocate Ted Turner on his hypocrisy. Turner espouses China’s 1-child rule for everyone, especially the poor. Eugenics, anyone?
• At Judie Brown’s blog, Fr. Raymond J. de Souza discusses the contradiction between Obama’s legislation replacing the words “mentally retarded” with something less “harsh,” and our actions toward those with Down Syndrome: We insist that harsh words are not used in regard to the mentally disabled, but the most lethal words today in medicine are those that announce Down’s syndrome. It is far better to be diagnosed with terminal cancer as an adult than to be diagnosed with Down’s syndrome as an unborn baby. No cancer has a 90% death rate within a month.
  
• Big Blue Wave comments on a study of mothers who kill and the ambivalence of society toward them.
• ProWomanProLife discusses the “children at any cost” mentality of surrogacy and its relation to the abortion culture: I can’t shake the idea that surrogacy and desperate attempts to conceive are intimately connected to our abortion-friendly culture, which seems counter-intuitive, really. At one end you have someone who really wants life, and at the other, the person who kills.
  But in the end, it seems, control is the unifying factor: We don’t have babies when we don’t want to, but when we do – come hell or high water, we will have them.

Bryan Kemper Many pro life blogs commented on the abortion friendly MTV premiere  of No Easy Decision but Bryan picked up on something ..."One very telling feature of the show was that it played without commercial interruption; this is not normal for MTV.  This show was obviously funded by someone or some organization with an agenda; a very deadly agenda."

• Vital Signs features Erase the Need comments on the new regs starting Jan. 1 that doctors can bill the govt.  to meet annually  elderly patients to help them design an end-of-life treatment plans.

" As I have pointed out in past blogs, in other countries which have legalized assisted suicide, it has been proven that many elderly people have been pressured and coerced into death against their will."

Abortioneers: hostility to motherhood during Christmas season

 Scanning the abortion promoting blogs I detected a note of hostility to the whole concept of motherhood in this opening paragraph of a post. As this season draws to a close, this post drips of sarcasm and anger.  Why, I ask myself....aren't you supposed to be pro choice? I detect disdain for those who chose life.

"The postal clerk informed me that the holiday favorite at my local post-office is alllllways *the mother and child,* while blizzards that coincided with capitalism’s year-end, cash cow smothered the United States halting semi-sacred festivities and crazed travelers all over the place as if to say, mother knows best."

No Easy Decison: mixed reviews but truth cannot be hidden

  Update:
Well I just watched it for myself.  I noticed so many things. At the end, even the girl who said she felt nothing but relief following the abortion broke down and cried. And the other girl at the end who bypassed telling her parents at age 17 and got a judicial bypass, said she did not want to let her parents down. So the judge gave her permission. Shame on you.  Her  parents could have helped She talked about how she came up with the 750  bucks for the abortion. One of the sacrifices she did was t o cash in her prom ticket!!!   Well t he dr. tried his best to normalize abortion but the truth could not be hidden.


No Easy Decision aired last night. I tivoed it and will watch it soon. I see that the reviews are in and they are mixed. Hollywood Life.com is very disappointed.

"Instead of going through a  detailed  and normal paced show, MTV decided to cram the life-changing decision of this couple into 15 minutes and spend the remaining portion discussing  everything with Dr. Drew Pinsky."

Well the procedure itself  does not take that long but the feeling do not disappear with the baby and the trademark of the abortion industry is to get you to hurry and do it before you change your mind and consider other options...they like you to make this life and death decision while you are still in a crisis mode....here is one commentator's take on that...

Wed 12/29/10 12:25 AM

i feel as though this is a very hard decision for any one to make. i too was a young mother at 20 and had an abortion when my son was just ten months old which was the same as her. its hard because you already are a mother and you know what that baby could be but in the same aspect you know that you have to do whats best for your child and i made my choice for financial reasons regarding my son as well. i just am waiting for the moment when i will feel better and less heart broken and that was 4 years ago…..heres hoping

EW. com thought it was well done and applauded it. They were not offended by exploring the range of feelings.

"She said that at the clinic it was suggested that she “think of it as a little ball of cells.” But afterward, she became angry — at James, and at herself — and wracked with remorse. “Nothing but a bunch of cells can turn out to be her,” she says to James, pointing to Za’karia. No Easy Decision, in the space of a half-hour, did a striking job of showing viewers a full range of thoughts and emotions, without a trace of MTV flash or, at the other extreme, timid solemnity."

We know this show was heavily promoted by the abortion industry as they were angry with the previous series "16 and Pregnant" and "Teen Mom"  because although it showed how hard it was to be a teen mom, they felt that it promoted parenting in it's own peculiar way. Of course that is not good for their business. They complained and wanted  a series that shows abortion as the sensible $$ choice. The abortion industry typically works hard to present abortion as a choice and  no big deal since it is just a clump of cells... yet this series is called No Easy Decision....why not? Why is it not an easy decision to remove a clump of cells....no more than having a tooth pulled or a mole removed? Why the agony??
The abortion industry can't win because the truth cannot be hidden. The parents feel relief  but bitter and angry and sad...because they know they made a choice that may have relieved their immediate issue but ended the life of another human being....their  own son or daughter and  that is no easy decision.

TN City Paper: does better than most reporters but still gets it wrong on pro life legislation

Jeff Woods of the City Paper did better than most reporters but he still does not have it right. In his article  on the new Republican majority in TN he said the following:

"Stripping abortion rights out of the state constitution. That was adopted in the last legislature, and it’s almost certain to pass again — this time by the two-thirds majority required to put the proposed constitutional amendment on the 2014 election ballot. Even if voters approve it, abortions will remain legal because of Roe v. Wade. Other measures to restrict abortion rights could be more controversial. Some states, for instance, have passed laws forcing women to look at ultrasounds of their fetuses before having abortions."

Stripping abortion rights out of the state constitution. ....why can't reporters get this right?  He is  correct in stating that abortion would still be legal due to Roe Vs. Wade but what SJR 127 does is state that our constitution in the state of TN is neutral on the issue of abortion...in fact silent on it.  What does this do? Allow the elected state legislators to enact regulations around legal abortion such as informed consent,waiting periods and here is something that needs to be done....state that abortion facilities being inspected, regulated and licensed. It does not strip away abortion rights but allows  the legislators to  enact commonsense regulations. How radical is that? We used to have these things before Planned Parenthood, nation's largest abortion profiteer,  and ACLU sued the state saying that our state Constitution held a broader right to abortion than Roe Vs. Wade.
And what is that comment about states forcing women to view ultrasounds as part of informed consent before choosing to abort?  What state is that? Would you mean ALLOWING them to view  ultrasounds before aborting?  And Jeff says view their fetuses....Latin for young one or offspring...say it Jeff BABY!

Wesley J. Smith  lampoons Politics and Eye Movement,”  from  BioNews:  funded in part by the National Science Foundation.

"I always laugh at the purported scientific studies that seek to explain differences in perception between liberals and conservatives. What about those who change positions .....or the moderates. "

The study used "gaze cues" to test a person's response on a computer screen showing "Liberals responded strongly to the prompts, consistently moving their attention in the direction suggested to them by a face on a computer screen. Conservatives, on the other hand, did not." 

Sooooo??

MSM aides abortion industry $$$ with friendly articles on series to normalize abortion and make it the preferred choice for teens

 The Abortion industry did not like the shows "16 and pregnant" and "Teen Mom" and complained to MTV that they were not showing abortion as a way out of an unplanned pregnancy.  Most teens  today choose parenting and for most the story is not pretty.
Forget the safe, legal and rare mantra, they want to normalize abortion and make it the best option for teens who are having sex and being careless with birth control, if used at all. Let us not forget, no abortion mill runs as a non profit. This is big business . Their goal is to get abortion to be the top choice for unplanned pregnancies and they  cater to the teens especially with their online advice outlets that would make the porn industry blush. When they can get tax paid abortion, it will be icing on the cake for this lucrative business. So tonight, the first episode of No Easy Decision will be shown. A former star of 16 and pregnant who chose  to parent becomes pregnant again and this time chooses abortion. 

The industry already has their friends in the MSM ready with articles stating it is about time we showed that abortion is no big deal (then why no easy decision??) and in response to the live blogging that will be going on during the show....they are ready for anyone who wants to differ with them. Already Markai Durham, the star of the first episode is lashing out on her Facebook page  showing  she surely did not receive medically accurate information about the pregnancy.

“Its Not A Baby At All Until I Think You 3rd Trimester (I Could Be Mistaken) Its Only A Fetus Which Means Its Only A GROUP OF CELLS TRYING TO FORM INTO SOMEONE. && Its Not Our Right To Judge Wo…men / Girls Who Do Get An Abortion. Thats Like Judging Someone Because There Gay Or Black Or Whatever. Its Not Right For People To Lash Out At Women/ Girls Who Made The Right Decision For Them && Their Family. Point Blank. && Even Though They Have Created SOMETHING That CAN Be The Most Beautiful Thing. SOMETIMES Women/ Girls Aren’t Ready For That Big Of A Responsibilty. NO MATTER IF THEY OPENED THEIR LEGS / PANTS.”

 The purpose of these articles is to make anyone pro life as a judgmental, biased person. The industry surely does not want facts to stand in the way of the bottom line. I did not enjoy 16 and pregnant and found the language and situations difficult to watch. I never got much beyond the first few minutes when I tuned out.  But I did admire Tyler and Caitlin who made a courageous and selfless decision and showed so much maturity. They put the interests of the baby first and choose adoption.

No Easy Decision partners with the abortion industry to bring this into your living room.  Their target audience  are potential customers.

Obamacare....repeal cannot come fast enough.....death panel returns as a service with your annual checkup.

Update: 
Video   Starting at 7:22  Dr. Krauthammer says that he is a doctor and and a dr. has incredible authority over a patient especially one who is in pain or elderly. While maybe not death panels, it is the first step in rationing.


Article in NYT tells us how Obama will backdoor unpopular proposals that did not make the cut in the actual policy of Obamacare. Remember Chas. Krauthammer warned us that Kathleen Sebelius will be one powerful person as she writes regs that will put these things back in by stealth tactics. What you say you want when you are healthy does not often translate to what you will say when faced with the dreaded diagnosis. Better to have a Medical Power of attorney authorized to speak for you if you are not able to and make sure he/she knows your wishes and of course someone you trust.  Personally my biggest concern is the slippery slope to the lives of  the disabled and those whose quality of life is not sanctioned by others.

From the article:

"While the new law does not mention advance care planning, the Obama administration has been able to achieve its policy goal through the regulation-writing process, a strategy that could become more prevalent in the next two years as the president deals with a strengthened Republican opposition in Congress."

"Opponents said the Obama administration was bringing back a procedure that could be used to justify the premature withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from people with severe illnesses and disabilities."

Earl Blumenauer is a liberal Democrat from  OR who strongly supports this measure.

"While we are very happy with the result, we won’t be shouting it from the rooftops because we aren’t out of the woods yet,” Mr. Blumenauer’s office said in an e-mail in early November to people working with him on the issue. “This regulation could be modified or reversed, especially if Republican leaders try to use this small provision to perpetuate the ‘death panel’ myth.” ( Ummm like liberal  NYT ccolumnist Paul Krugman said on a Sunday talk show???"

TN: ACLU gets apology and in KY yr old dismissed chg gets lawsuit from DOJ??

 I meant to post on this yesterday but I got carried away with the story of the US Dept. of Justice filing a federal lawsuit nearly a year after a misdemeanor was dismissed against a man who was on a public sidewalk in front of an abortion mill in Louisville, KY charged with disorderly conduct.  Since the original charge was a misdemeanor and dismissed and the man has moved out of state, I could not understand why the DOJ was wasting time and tax money on this nearly a year after the event. The  reporter did not seem interested in digging to find those answers. KY RTL had no clue either and  we know pro life viewpoints are under scrutiny in this administration and many of us are probably on a watch list. Where is the ACLU outrage here?


Now to this.....Nashville City paper reports that Hedy growled and got the ACLU an apology for putting them on a watch list  for sending out letters to school superintendents warning of too much Christmas might be detrimental to their legal health. As one commenter pointed out,  the ACLU brought this on themselves.

Tea Party post from Judson Phillips today enlightens many on one of the reasons the ACLU loves to sue...it is almost a fund raising activity for them. He is talking about a decision out of San Fransisco that awarded two ..."attorneys who worked for the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation....designated a supporter of terrorism .......press reports state critical intelligence was obtained from monitoring this group."They received a nominal monetary award for being watched but the lawyers representing them received $2.5 MM in fees!

"Ignoring all other issues of this case, this award of fees is one of the dirty secrets of the liberal-political complex.  Under Federal Law, in certain cases, the plaintiff can be awarded attorney’s fees.   In many of these cases, a plaintiff will be awarded nominal damages and the attorneys will walk away with seven figures in attorney’s fees.

This is one of the reasons the ACLU is so gung ho to sue and one of the reasons many municipalities capitulate to the ACLU when the ACLU makes some demand on them.  Many smaller jurisdictions cannot afford to pay their own attorneys and then if they lose, they will get stuck with the ACLU’s attorneys fees as well."

US Dept of Justice files lawsuit against sidewalk counselor one yr. after misdemeanor is dismissed??

Update: 

Reporter answered my email and stated he has not heard back from the Dept of Justice on why they filed the lawsuit....and he further states that Mr. Hamilton now lives in Houston so he should not have trouble staying 8 feet away from the entrance.....which further makes me wonder why the Dept. choose to file a lawsuit against a dismissed misdemeanor when the clinic director disavows any knowledge of it?   Now why is the DOJ wasting our tax money chasing this??

Story in Louisville Courier Journal stating a man is being charged by the US Dept. of Justice for sidewalk counseling in front of the only abortion mill in Louisville under the Freedom of  Access to Clinic Entrance Act at EMW Women's Surgical Center.
Okay, I read this story and I am puzzled.....if  this incident happened in January as reported, I presume they are talking about January, 2010?  If the clinic director knew nothing of the lawsuit filed by the US Dept. of Justice who brought it to their attention since the case had been settled as a misdemeanor and Hamilton did community service work to settle this matter? I looked up the abortion mill and the web page showed no picture of the building so I looked at the Google map and it appears that customers have to park on the street to access the building and so anyone on the street could speak to them. I guess that is why they have escorts.  So if the lawsuit is successful he is to stay 8 feet away from anyone accessing  the building which is on a public street. I guess he would have to cross Market street when he got close to the building and then continue walking down the street on the other side? What if he wanted to access the business next door?  What if someone was parking across the street? The lawsuit if successful enacts a heavy fine of 15,000 penalty and $5,000 in compensatory damages.  Who is that paid to....EMW....the govt....the escort ? I have a call in to the reporter to see if he asked those questions and got any answers. BTW the first complaint which was dismissed as a misdemeanor was from an escort who accused him of shoving her. Hamilton claimed he was walking and talking to a woman and the moved the arm of an escort who was blocking access to her.   Per Hamilton's atty.the security guard saw the reaction of the escort not the incident and charged him. Lots of questions here....
EMW was caught on tape by Live Action.org giving misleading and inaccurate medical  information to a girl posing as  a 14 yr. old pregnant from a 31 yr. old and  failed to fulfill the requirements of the law mandating reports of sexual abuse which this is considered (rape in the third degree) not to mention counseling the girl as to the danger of her situation. No the counselor tells her there is a friendly lawyer that can get her a bypass to avoid  the legality of parental consent even though the girl gave no indication of  parental abuse. Click here to watch two unedited videos. Where is the legal action for these violations??

Black pastors to celebrate civil rights of unborn on Martin Luther King Day

BY KATHLEEN GILBERT

Martin Luther King

(LifeSiteNews.com) - The annual celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.‘s birthday - also known as “Civil Rights Day” in some states - marks a time to recall the injustice directed against a minority population that were once deemed less than human.

Now, a group of black pastors are planning a celebration to draw attention to the next step in the civil rights movement: dignity and equal protection for unborn children.

Sponsored by Pro-Life Mississippi, the Festival for Life will take place January 17 at 4pm at the Wesley Biblical Seminary in Jackson, where students and other guests will view several pro-life films and hear remarks from pro-life pastors.

The film lineup includes Maafa 21, a documentary uncovering how African Americans have been a continual target of the eugenics movement, perpetuated today by proponents of abortion and birth control.

Pastor Joseph Parker of Campbell Chapel African Methodist Episcopal church in Pulaski, Tennessee, told LifeSiteNews.com that “clearly we see the life issue as a civil rights issue, but tragically, the other side has never wanted it to be seen as such.” Parker’s associates include Rev. Walter Hoye, a black pastor who was arrested for peaceful pro-life witness outside an Oakland, California abortion clinic in May 2008.

The pastor said the goal of the festival would be to illustrate “the need for the church to stand against abortion.” “Too many believers, leaders in the Church and others, have been much too passive on this issue,” said Parker, who hoped that the event would be copied by other believers in their own communities.

“It is very important to point out that the Life issue is one of, if not the most serious civil rights issue that any people, African Americans or any other people, have ever faced. If ever there was a civil rights issue worth standing up for, this is it!”

Several pro-life projects, notably the Genocide Awareness Project of the Center of Bio-Ethical Reform, have highlighted parallels between the modern abortion business and previous cases of mass dehumanization of certain populations.

In January, Parker and his associates hope to fuel the conversation - and conversion - that will one day bring an end to the civil rights abuse of abortion.

“Its very fruitful to stir believers in their faith to the point that they pray daily, ‘Lord, show me how to be an effective witness for you today - for the cause of salvation and for the cause of life.’”

TN Fusion Center lists ACLU as suspicious

 The Tennessean had a brief article today about the ACLU's  letter to school officials warning against singing Christmas carols and having Christmas celebrations stating that it would not be inclusive to those who do not celebrate this federal holiday. In fact  national TV spoke of this and  two lawyers agreed that the letter was implied threat to the school districts. I wrote about it here. Now our TN Fusion Center is  trying to explain the the ACLU why they are on a "suspicious list."  This put them up in arms and they demand an explanation. Well if pro lifers are on some watch list why not them?

Well Judson Phillips had a little fun with this on his blog.

"Tennessee has something called the Tennessee Fusion Center.  The purpose of the center is to help state agencies pool data and analyze information about possible terror attacks.

The Tennessee Fusion Center listed the American Civil Liberties Union Chapter of Tennessee on its Internet map, listing it under “Terrorism and other suspicious activities.

Anyone has been on the receiving end of the ALCU’s jackbooted assaults on American freedoms, they might well agree with the assessment.

The ACLU, of course, immediately went nuts.   To their executive director, the listing was deeply disturbing.

Personally, I think it is very accurate.”

Memphis PP Holiday greeting and fund solicitation wants to make a difference in someone's life

 

For sure...it will make a difference in somebody's life as in end it! Remember dear PP of Greater Memphis from Lila Rose and Live Action . Remember how they exposed a counselor advising a girl posing as an underage  and   pregnant by a much  older man to lie about his age to get approval for an abortion and bypass the parental notification law.- not to mention that they were covering for someone who should have been reported by law as a sexual abuser. But let's not spoil the holiday message with the facts...just contribute to change someone's life.

Pro abort raises money with gruesome Christmas ornaments mocking the dead baby and sending proceeds to Planned Parenthood

My heart breaks not only for the aborted human beings now the subject of ornaments on a Christmas tree but for every post abortive man and woman whose heart grieves as other poke fun of killing. A disgusting website is advertising the sale of abortion ornaments poking fun at abortion. A real hilarious subject during this season and stating that a portion of the sale will go to Planned Parenthood...the nation's largest abortion provider. What a fund raiser. They also boast that sales are brisk and they are almost sold out. The ghoul is shipping these out of Atlanta. Here are some of the gruesome things for sale... Chum Baby...being being fed to fish....Manager scene with dead baby Jesus....Baby Blues...maybe died from saline abortion.....Deformed baby cigarette case...Still birth...and on and on.
No, I am not giving the website....don't want to give them any free advertisements. Pro aborts and PP should be so proud!

"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer meets dead baby jokes with this wonderfully tasteless piece. Baby measures about 2 1/2 inches and is made of soft plastic. It hangs from a handmade wire coathanger."

"A portion of ... proceeds will be donated to Planned Parenthood."

A victory for Christmas in CA.....

 A Choral Society decided to entertain Christmas shoppers with a impromtu performance of the "Hallelujah Chorus” as had been done in other cities with much appreciated approval. They picked a mall that had suffered from a fire last fall. After contacting management and getting their approval, they put out message via the social media and hoped for a few hundred to show up. Be careful what you wish for. 5,000 showed up to hear the singing and participate and show their appreciation and yes to celebrate CHRISTMAS....but alas due to safety concerns the mall had to be evacuated. No injuries and property damage reported. One firefighter said, keep singing but please move outside for safety. The caroling continued outside. Is this a victory for Christmas......ACLU and Hedy Weinberg. (Note: in TN...head of ACLU sent a letter  to school superintendents warning against singing Christmas carols and  I would say so.

Twin selective reduction or "partial abortion"

Pro Life Pro Woman  features a great article that shows that printing of stories about abortions actually do change minds and hearts. The story being referenced was about a Canadian couple pregnant with twins that used selective reduction because having twins was not compatible with their lifestyle. This prompted such  an outrage from readers even some declaring that their previously pro choice opinion had been changed. One reader took the language to task stating that this was not a selective reduction but a "partial abortion."
