- Moral Outcry shows you really can legislate morality, according to a report from US News. Though the morality of the individual may not change because of legislation, pro-life laws do indeed curb abortion rates.
- Fletcher Armstrong takes issue with the News Sentinel in Knoxville, TN, which erroneously stated Planned Parenthood clinics there do not do abortions, while PP Knoxville’s website lists chemical abortion services. PP is currently embroiled in a controversy with Knoxville parents for their role in providing explicit sex ed to high school students and for promoting websites that “[tell] 13-year-old children that they might be ready for sex if they ‘trust each other,’ ‘care about each other,’ and ‘have fun together.'”
- 40 Days for Life acknowledges the importance of men showing a prayerful presence at abortion clinics.
- American Life League writes about the resourcefulness of the Houston Coalition for Life, which formed a mobile pregnancy resource center when Planned Parenthood of the Gulf Coast opened a mega-abortuary (pictured left) “in a place with no nearby available space for pro-lifers to rent, buy or build a crisis pregnancy center.”
- Culture Campaign reports pro-lifers in MD will no longer be shackled and strip-searched by law enforcement when exercising their First Amendment rights.
- Andy Moore of ProLifeNZ writes at Bryan Kemper’s blog on a recent abortion debate in Nova Scotia, in which pro-abortion, pro-infanticide Dr. Mark Mercer enraged pro-aborts by “argu[ing] that there is nothing ethically troubling about abortion, at one point suggesting that a baby isn’t a ‘person’ until around 18 months of age.” But wasn’t Mercer simply being consistent?
- MN Citizens Concerned for Life calls out a journalist for shoddy reporting on the embryonic stem cell debate. This skewed reporting on ESCR seems to be a regular occurrence in the MSM. Is it simply ignorance, or is it deliberate?

It is reported as “progress” in the year 2011 that citizens of the United States will no longer be shackled and strip searched when arrested for exercising their constitutional rights.
When reading the above most people who are unfamiliar with the abortion debate in our country would wonder what this is all about. Haven’t we gotten past all of this? The answer of course is that for everything BUT abortion we have gotten past it, and maybe the court’s ruling in Maryland will help put an end to the mistreatment of pro-lifer’s–but don’t bank on it.
Leftists, judicial activists, and pro-abort extremists are always trying to come up with new ways to prohibit or limit pro-lifer’s activities. We have seen it in Chicago and other cities with bubble zones and in New York city with efforts to restrain the activities of life saving organizations. None of this is surprising. Rights mean nothing to people who justify the taking of innocent life. If the right to life is not sacred surely nothing else is.

I think something though has happened in the spiritual realm there no longer perceived as having anything good to contribute to America’s youth. There more like the family member who has been giving really bad advice to your children and they’ve been caught. Science can’t rescue them because they’ve betrayed good science. Hopefully there about to experience genuine rescue from there very misguided(?) intentions. As an adult who as a teenager could have lost my life because of their belief system I think it’s good that there being held accountable for trying to impose on America’s youth their own belief system. I think this captures what they believe. They believe that the human should have every opportunity to follow it’s natural inclinations without any restrictions being put on those instincts by an individuals own soul, spirit or heart. This is what’s being taught anyway and it is not correct. Evidence of the humans ability to practice restraint is the complete restraint they practice when waiting for the rewards of their bad advice to America’s youth reaches them when they get paid to abort the outcome of their faulty preaching. Because what their preaching is humanism and they need to understand that as Americans if we have to practice the separation of church and state than they have to also.
