- John Londregan on the “birther” myth:
It is past time we abandoned the “birther” myth that we are transformed magically through the process of birth from being tumorous growths within our mothers into fully human infants. The uncivilized confusion on the part of abortion advocates about whether newborns are fetuses or infants highlights the artificial nature of making birth the definition of humanity.
- A 25-year-old woman in India is accusing two nurses of “forcibly aborting her baby”:
The incident came to light when the patient’s family members apprised senior CHC authorities of the incident….Patient’s family members also claimed that no pathological tests were conducted to identify the problem. The nurses even refused to look into pre-natal reports. Instead of undertaking a medical examination, the two nurses told family members that the patient had developed medical complication and it would prudent to abort the pregnancy.
- Washington abortion advocates are up in arms because at one time, two insurance plans considered not covering abortion. They both do, yet because they initially proposed not to cover it, abortion advocates claim insurance companies must be required to cover abortion:
The proposals set off frustration among advocates who have been pressing for a new state law to secure abortion coverage for all Washington health plans. Elaine Rose [pictured left], the CEO of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest, said it is evidence of the need for lawmakers to make it clear that abortion should be covered.
“What’s going to happen next year, or the year after that or the year after that?” Rose said. “Are we going to constantly be at the whims of insurance carriers changing their minds?”

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.
I can’t help but notice they aren’t very interested in making sure that prenatal and birth care is covered. This is sure to put financial pressure on low income women to have abortions.
Sweet Marmot, it has been part of the agenda of elitist eugenicists from the beginning to weed out, among others, the poor, whether through birth control, sterilization, or abortion.
I like what John Londregan says about the “birther myth”. More of that common sense that apparently just isn’t common anymore.
I hate abortion, it must not continue. I have three children and eight grandchildren speaking of which I remember stating I was not ready to be a grandfather. When My first grand baby was born he was placed on a table in a window at the hospital, don’t know why, and I stood by that window for over an hour marveling at the majesty of God’s work.
I cringe every time I hear the word abortion as I know first hand what beauty and magnificence lie in the babe that God has created and to know that thousands are murdered every day truly makes me ill.
I say the following prayer each day to God that He place his grace in the hearts of mothers-to-be that they may make the decision to Choose Life:
“Jesus Mary and Joseph, please spare the life of the unborn
child that I have spiritually adopted. His name is (give him/her a name) and he is in danger of an abortion”
I don’t think common sense has ever been all that common Victor. I think it’s notable by its rarity. You and I would come to this conclusion from completely different directions of course :-)
I thought the whole ‘birther myth’ was about obama secretly being a gay, muslim nigerian or something. Has a new one started?
Barry Dunham’s inconsistent upbringing has damaged his personality more than the latitude and longitude at which he exited Stanley’s womb.
How was I protected under the law after my birth while children the same gestational age are murdered legally? That’s just not right. As soon as conception occurs, we are unique and alive. Respiration begins on a cellular level while mitosis begins the development of tissues and organs. That’s science and biology. Why are abortionists so anti-science?
