Abortion and gay marriage are realities in America in no small measure because of Catholic politicians who have sponsored them and fiercely defended them. ~ Dr. Gerard Nadal, Coming Home, June 27 [Pictured right: New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan with Gov. Andrew Cuomo]
The Susan B. Anthony List has just unveiled a Defunding Planned Parenthood Scoreboard website, very cool. Click to enlarge..
I read this glorious point to ponder by pro-abort Robin Marty at RH Reality Check the other day: All of this time, we thought South Dakota would be the first state to unofficially go “abortion free”…. Turns out Kansas may beat it to the punch. It turns out Marty may be right.

by JivinJ, host of the blog, JivinJehoshaphat North Carolina Gov. Bev Perdue vetoed an informed consent bill. When the measure originally passed, in both chambers it was one vote shy of having veto-proof majorities. In Ireland, a man named Christopher Paul Buckham who got a 15-year-old pregnant and gave her abortion drugs has been sentenced [...]

To the liberal feminists in mainstream media, a conservative woman’s opinion can’t possibly be legitimate. Unfortunately, those outlets often carry the loudest megaphones for women’s issues in elections – and seem to have little regard for those who identify as pro-life…. It’s obvious that… feminist entities are only pro-women when it comes to women who [...]
On June 24 Planned Parenthood of the Heartland announced yet another merger, this one with Planned Parenthood of Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma. A month ago PP Heartland announced it was merging with Planned Parenthood of Southeast Iowa. When these merges are complete, PP Heartland will have “approximately 30 health centers located throughout Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas [...]
by JivinJ, host of the blog, JivinJehoshaphat There is a silver lining to Judge Tanya Walton Pratt’s temporary injunction preventing the State of Indiana from defunding Planned Parenthood of Indiana. That is: … Pratt denied PP’s request to block the measure requiring doctors to tell women seeking abortions that “human physical life begins when a [...]

Also amazing is how she kept her professionalism by not even flinching one bit. However, at the video site there are those who say this was a stunt. Email LauraLoo with your Lunch Break suggestions.

One of the current popular video trends on YouTube consists of men going through simulated labor. It’s an interesting concept and the men have some funny reactions. But when you read the comments underneath the videos you start to wonder if women get a little more pleasure out of them than simply for curiosity or humor’s sake. It seems as if the videos are being used to back up an accusation, a popular accusation—the accusation that goes like this:
Women are stronger than men. Women suffer more. And men will never, ever, EVER understand.
Women say this kind of stuff all the time. About how men “don’t understand.” We complain about the stretch marks that babies give us but don’t give them. We insist that the father cannot ever know best for the child simply because he didn’t birth the child….
And why do we say all this? Because it builds us up. It makes us feel stronger. And a lot of this is a reaction to the many ways in which the strength of womanhood has been overlooked or taken for granted throughout history and today. We want to be appreciated, and rightfully so. But… [w]e aren’t content knowing we are strong, and so women fall into the trend of delighting in a man’s weakness – delighting when he doesn’t fully understand, or better yet, can’t fully understand….
There was a time when it was standard to consider women not worth understanding — to consider the woman’s task and life frivolous and easy. We’ve seen the damage this outlook has inflicted, not only on women, but on the whole world. So how dare we test our luck by turning the vice around?
How bold we are to assume that devaluing men won’t have a negative effect on the world at large. How bold we are to assume that it won’t hurt all of us, not just men.
