- At Reproductive Research Audit, Dr. Jacqueline Harvey shows that a study which attempted to prove the safety of webcam “telemed” abortions actually shows a potentially greater risk to women:
Even if the authors could support the claim that tele-medicine (or “tele-med”) contributed to the modest reduction in late-term abortions, they still fail to note medical abortions have greater rates of complications than surgical abortions.
- ProLife NZ reveals that not only is a war on women taking place through gendercide, but aborted preborn girls’ ovaries are being used (with the aborting mother’s permission) for research and infertility treatments:
Sex-selective abortion highlights the paradox of campaigning for abortion as a woman’s rights issue yet condemning innocent baby girls to death at the hands of an abortionist simply for being girls, which is profoundly anti-woman.
- The New Feminism applauds Boston College (pictured left; a Jesuit college) for addressing the sex-saturated culture on campus which had been promoted under the guise of “sexual health” until certain objections were made to campus authorities:
The college has reminded the [BC Students for Sexual Health] that the promotion of sport sex on campus is inconsistent with the college’s policies toward the sanctity of life, and has scheduled a meeting with them on April 29 to discuss their condom and sport sex advocacy.
The group is not happy about the crackdown on their promotion of “responsible” sex parties.
- Right to Life of Michigan notes an MLive columnist’s reaction to pro-choice objections over Michigan’s “legislation to regulate and inspect abortion clinics (known as the Prolife Bus),” in light of the Kermit Gosnell trial:
Enacting legislation to ensure a clean, sanitary facility has nothing whatsoever to do with a woman’s choice to have an abortion.
It has everything to do, though, with… what happens – especially with respect to the mother’s health – at the time the abortion is being performed (a child is being killed, that’s a given). Moreover, it is but the slightest step necessary to ensure that physicians who are overzealous, careless, or unconscionable do not slaughter children outside the womb as readily as they would inside the womb.
- What about all those “unwanted” babies? ProWomanProLife features an uplifting video that reveals “the side of pro-lifers the media doesn’t show”:

That adoptive family looks very nice. (Yes, I did say that — and mean it.) It seems likely that there was never a question of abortion but that the women who found they gave birth to babies with special challenges placed them for adoption because they felt they didn’t have the resources or ability to raise them well.
It remains true that very, very few girls and women place babies for adoption. This paper attempts to explain this phenomenon. http://www.arcc-cdac.ca/postionpapers/41-Why-Few-Women-Choose-Adoption.pdf
I don’t know how accurate the conclusions are.
Obama
‘s speaxh is filled with PC-rhetoric but carefully designed to appeal to a wider audience. As such PC is seen as the new-normal and blurs anyu kind of isolation.
Appeals used are to freedom and to a strange concept of health. Both these are highly appealing and should be directly refuted by PL with their’mature’ view of fairness ie. responsible behavior vs anything goes.
During the election Obama talked cconstantly about HEALTH REFORM, but gravitated only to fiscal concerns … as ifonly that needed such reform. Financial problems may be less than 5% of what ails HEALTH. We have a skewed demographics, and with it health-service-workers who’s roles are not in any way ‘fixed’ … please note the absolute lack of moral-concepts of Gosnell’s assistants. Beause this is not directly addressed – like minimal-moral education standards, the future will be the opposite of what ‘care’ traditionally meant. it is somewhat akin to the white liquid we commonly refer to as milk. Not only is it now pasteurized and homogenized; it is laced with hormones like BST. When fed to calves (for whom it is the supposed ‘ideal’ food) for a period of 2 weeks, they all died in a very short time.
