- The Passionate Pro-Lifer discusses her civil attempts to communicate with a company who does business with Planned Parenthood, yet claims to be pro-life. Fr. Frank Pavone once said we could end abortion if everyone refused to do business with the abortion industry. Are we “just doing our jobs” when we do business with an industry who kills babies?
- Stand for Life shares video of a newscast reporting abortionist Shelley Sella’s potential loss of medical license:
The New Mexico Medical Board has alleged that an Albuquerque physician acted negligently when she performed an abortion last year that resulted in the patient’s transfer to a hospital. The board began the investigation after pro-life groups filed complaints based on 911 calls for emergency transports from clinics to hospitals.
Pro-life groups appear to be the only ones doing the monitoring of the abortion industry.
- ProLifeBlogs features Pro-Life in NJ’s post on the fallacy that men should have no voice in abortion:
This is where we pro-lifers need to step up. We need to reach out to these men. We need to show them why such a belief is illogical…. Everybody has the duty to defend life when it is threatened, in any and all circumstances. This is the message that must reach these men and all others who question their role.
- Pro-Life Action League reports that while Planned Parenthood claims to be for women’s health (naturally downplaying its abortion services), affiliates must agree to perform abortions or cease to be part of the conglomerate:
Planned Parenthood of South Central New York, based in the New York cities of Binghamton and Oneonta is cutting ties with the nation’s largest abortion chain, not because they refuse to do pap tests or provide general health care, but because they don’t want to perform abortions. - American Life League says contraception – which was touted as a wonderful benefit to women – has instead done the opposite. ALL quotes Pope Paul VI, who said:
A man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and, disregarding her physical and emotional equilibrium, reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desires, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround with care and affection. - At Catholic Vote, Thomas Peters has the viral video of alleged “twins fighting in the womb.” But Peters says what the video really shows is not sibling rivalry but “that unborn human beings are… human beings who can feel cramped, human beings who like to spread out. Human beings who kick, wiggle and move about….. It’s a tragic tale about our culture’s choice to ignore the obvious”:

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.
Okay about the Passionate Prolifer article, I was one of those who “claim to be pro-life” but disagreed with how they reacted to the delivery person. I do agree with actually emailing or sending a letter to the company owners, who can actually do something (stop offering services to abortion clinics) rather than going after a delivery person who can’t change much. Which was my entire point about not liking what they were doing with the delivery person.
that’s actually a good point, Jack.
I’d just like to add that, it’d be more likely to be changed if the delivery person ALSO protested his assigned route in addition to non-involved third parties.
See sometimes I make good points! :D
Re: delivery guy confrontation … There are better and worse ways of talking to the gentleman, certainly. But if I were him, I would like someone to talk to me about it. Maybe he watches Leno and believes the president of our country when he says that PP does mammograms. A “hey sir, do you know this clinic does abortions? Are you ok with that?” would be a good way to start it up. You might still get called a bad word, and then you might accidentally blurt out “you help to kill babies” or whatever, but at least you tried to be cool.
I went back to that post and I still don’t know who started the taunting. I don’t agree with harrassing “patients” or delivery guys. Just a “Please don’t help what goes on in there!” is about as far as I would go.
I agree with you Lifejoy and Hans. I think that trying to strike up a more respectful dialogue would have been ideal.
“See sometimes I make good points! ”
I’ve rarely seen you do anything else.
Thanks JDC. I will admit that I feel quite bad about myself for the last day or so and question whether my contributions are valuable or not or whether people actually want me on this site. I’m glad you think that I make good points.
Trust me, people actually do want you on this site. I mean, ever notice how your comments often get a lot of likes, often pretty quickly. Those people certainly find your contributions valuable. Of course, “those people” more often than not include me. :)
Thank you man, that really means a lot to me.
I’m jealous of how many “likes” you score, Jack. I’ll have none of this moping! ;)
Do I feel an internet group hug approaching? :)
