by moderator Carla Great news! Although it tried to keep the announcement low key by slipping it out on Black Friday, Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota gave pro-lifers cause for celebration with the news it will close its “GYN Special Services Clinic” – i.e., abortion mill – December 9.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is well known to use sensationalism to get noticed. So I hesitate to even draw attention to PETA’s Thanksgiving ploy, because I suppose I’m falling right into their hands. But equating human babies with turkeys bears mention as a glimpse into the warped mind of PETA founder Ingrid [...]
by JivinJ, host of the blog, JivinJehoshaphat The Washington Post is covering the case of the New Jersey hospital attempting to force nurses to assist in abortions: One of the nurses, Fe Esperanza R. Vinoya, said a manager told her: “You just have to catch the baby’s head. Don’t worry, it’s already dead.” The ACLU [...]
by LauraLoo Recently I listened to Gary Chapman’s interview with Josh McDowell on his newest book The Bare Facts. Below is a video on the same topic. Not only was his viewpoint regarding when and how to engage children on the topic of sex interesting, I noted how destructive one exposure to pornography can be to a [...]
Abby Johnson writes in a post on her blog today: When I worked at Planned Parenthood, there was something that we were not allowed to talk about. If we didn’t talk about it, then maybe no one else would either. It was called the Jaffe Memo. In 1969, Planned Parenthood was asked by the [...]
UPDATE 11/28, 10:50a: Two more. PPNM is now deleting comments almost as fast as pro-lifers post them – back at work after a weekend with their families. Carla has been catching them before they go… UPDATE 11/28, 9:23a: Pro-lifers have been having fun with Planned Parenthood New Mexico’s November 23 Facebook update announcing it [...]
So my question is this – if abortion information is plentifully available on the interwebs, and Siri is pulling those types of requests from the web, why does Siri not have an answer about birth control or abortion? ~ Mr. Banana Grabber, wondering why the new iPhone4 feature Siri does not generate information for abortion [...]
Here were my top five favorite political cartoons for the week, first by Dana Summers at GoComics.com… then a twofer by Eric Allie at Townhall.com…
Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span. ~ Exodus 23:25-26, New International Version [Photo via the San Francisco Chronicle]
I have a new poll question up: Which type of pro-life Super Bowl television ad would be more persuasive, in your opinion? There are 2 options listed: “Graphic” and “Nongraphic.” Vote on the lower right side of the home page. Here were the results of my previous poll about Father Pavone and Bishop Zurek, not [...]
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Johns Hopkins University’s Student Government Association has denied Voice for Life [an anti-abortion student group] status as a recognized student group, for two reasons: VFL’s website links to other organizations that display graphic images of aborted babies. And VFL plans to engage in peaceful, quiet “sidewalk counseling” outside a local abortion clinic, which the SGA considers “harassment.”
Hopkins’ student conduct code enjoins students “to protect the university as a forum for the free expression of ideas.”…
Suppose such SGA-recognized student groups as the Arab Students Organization, the Black Student Union, the Hopkins Feminists or the Diverse Sexuality and Gender Alliance were to link their websites to provocative outside organizations, or were to counsel people not to patronize firms with policies those groups oppose. Would the SGA want to deny them recognition as student groups? Of course not. Obviously, the SGA has acted to express animus against the content of VFL’s speech, and to protect students from the discomfort of disagreement.
… [A]n SGA member says pro-life demonstrations make her feel “personally violated, targeted and attacked at a place where we previously felt safe and free to live our lives.” If encountering ideas she does not share makes her feel this way, she is unsuited to a proper academic setting. She may, however, be suited to Hopkins, which should be embarrassed, if it still can be.
Hopkins’ institutional intolerance would be boring were it simply redundant evidence of academia’s commitment to diversity in everything but thought. It is, however, indicative of the increasingly extreme ambitions and tactics of those operating under the anodyne rubric of “choice.”
~ George Will, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, April 6
