- Generations for Life has more information on the upcoming Nationwide Rallies for Religious Freedom to be held this Friday, March 23rd. Find your nearest rally location here.
- Abolitionist Society effectively dismantles the popular anti-personhood, straw man “argument” which claims that if human rights should be granted to zygotes, then human sex cells should also be granted personhood rights.
- The Euthanasia Prevention Coalition notes that the bill attempting to legalize assisted suicide in Vermont has failed.
- At Pro-Life in TN, Susie Allen writes about Mother Jones’ attempt at cleverness by suggesting that women “knit a vagina or womb and send it to [their local] Congressman with a note to chastise or appreciate” based on whether or not the representative supports Obamacare’s contraception mandate. Strangely enough, the site lists message suggestions, one of them being “We do not need government interference with our doctors or our healthcare” despite the fact that they are demanding that everyone – including the Church – pay for their contraceptives.
- At Americans United for Life, Mary Harned details the anti-woman philosophy that undergirds Roe v. Wade. She sums up:
So, what does Roe truly mean for America?It means the virtual obliteration of societal encouragement and affirmation for women who want to bring “unexpected” children into the world. It means that women today are condescendingly told that, without abortion, they are unable to realize their full potential. It means that men are helpless to plead for the lives of their unborn babies. And it means that approximately 52 million unborn American children, robbed of any “rights, freedoms, and opportunities,” have been aborted since Roe.
- At Live Action, Kristi Burton Brown has a story from one of the often-forgotten victims of abortion – the father who loses his child.
- Jay at LTI shares the story of how one reader’s family was affected by a past rape and resulting pregnancy.
- At Ethika Politika, Jacqueline Harvey describes why she refused to accept a blanket prescription for the Pill to “treat” her endometriosis, and instead found help through diet and lifestyle changes:
Unlike Sandra Fluke, I know all too well about the medical “need” for contraception. I assert the medical need is not for contraception, but for real medical treatments. Instead, women are reduced to settling for the side effects of a drug that was not designed to treat any medical ailments, but intended to allow people to have sex without pregnancy….It baffles me that it is self-proclaimed feminists who are indignant about not getting free contraception somehow fail to see that women with real health problems are woefully neglected.

I thought the pink knitted item was some kind of sad chicken to put in Easter baskets. LOL. I guess they need to put their knitting talents toward something other than baby blankets.
Another day to be thankful I don’t think like a proabort.
Yeah…I don’t think I could take anyone who knits wool vaginas seriously. About ANYTHING.
Dear Mother Jones twits:
Thank you very much for the Hacky Sack. I wish you’d remembered to put the dried beans in, though. It’s hard to keep this thing in the air.
Yours in service,
Your representative in the United States Congress
Again with the fixation on intimate body parts and reproductive organs….
bmmg39,
LOL. I thought it was a rooster before reading the story.
LibertyBelle,
I know!! Ironic how they worship their vaginas but they mock us as “fetus-worshipers” when we oppose the killing of the babies within. I think they’d be happier if they’d been born male – at least then they wouldn’t feel the need to chastise the “other sex”. This is a product of women’s studies programs and/or 1960’s-style feminist mothers. (Can’t forget to give credit to their feminist fathers too.)

This is really a great point.
When used for these other conditions, oral contraceptives are actually only marginally effective. They don’t work at all for many women.
It agree it would be far better to try to find better, more effective and safer treatments for women with various ailments, rather than just using a crude technique like oral contraceptives to manage symptoms.
JanetforLife,
It makes me confused and also amused to watch them. What with their “penis pops,” obsession with sex with younger and younger children, acceptance of any form of deviant sexual behavior and constantly making genitalia-themed crafts (uterus cookies, anyone?), it makes you really wonder what is going on psychologically with the other side. And maybe it’s a fringe-culture thing, but it is still very weird and has an almost creepy feel to it. Send your representative a knit uterus? No, thanks.
I’m just glad to be on the side of light, truth, and a healthy, God-honoring relationship with my body and the opposite gender! :)
