  • The Telegraph is reporting on baby girl Ellie-Suzanne Fish, who is leaving the hospital healthy after being born before Britain's abortion limit cut-off:

    She weighed 1lb 4.7oz and was given just a 10 to 15% chance of survival then had to endure three operations, including two on the brain.

    But she is now 9 months old and a healthy 14lbs, and has been allowed out of hospital for the first time.

  • An OR woman is accusing Republican congressional candidate Mike Erickson of paying for her abortion in 2000. Erickson denies being involved in the abortion. Erickson's primary opponent Kevin Mannix has used this charge in a campaign mailer...

  • Miracles

    miracles.jpgAbortion not only kills babies and sometimes their mothers, it kills miracles. It kills hope.

    From HattiesburgAmerican.com, May 11:

    Judy and Yu Loong [Liew] were born in Malaysia, and moved to the U.S. in 1996 to study at Mississippi State University. Judy earned a degree in industrial engineering, and Yu Loong obtained a degree in electrical engineering. They married in December 2004 and moved to Laurel [MS].

    Life was good, and then it got even better in the fall of 2007 when they learned that they were expecting their first child....

    All was well until a routine ultrasound... during the 4th month of her pregnancy revealed a complication. The doctor explained that the ultrasound indicated the baby's bones were not developing properly....

    Procession of Healing

    On Saturday, the day before Mother's Day, TN, pro-lifers organized a funeral "Procession of Healing" to commemorate 3,100 babies killed by abortion in Knox Co. last year.

    Between 300-350 cars participated in the funeral procession that wove through Knoxville. Must have been quite something. Watch a VolunteerTV.com news video by clicking on the graphic below:

    According to knoxnews.com:

    Organizers formulated the idea after hearing of a funeral and burial of 25 aborted babies found in dumpsters behind a clinic in Detroit.

    ... Hodari's babies.

    Balance, we must have balance. So VolunteerTV.com dredged up a pro-abort to condemn the mourning:

    "I think that it is a little dramatic, and implies that it was a kind of intended murder, which I don't believe choice is," said Ina Hughs, a pro-choice advocate who also said she understands why healing is needed, but called the procession a mockery. "I think it denigrated the spiritual and ritual side of a funeral."

    Notice Hughs avoided the word abortion, which rendered her statement incoherent. And why is healing needed? Exactly WHY?

    Claire gets reprimanded

    roderick.jpgOn May 1 University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point sophomore and Student Government Association senator Roderick King was caught on video vandalizing a UWSP-approved cross display commemorating aborted babies. In 1 week the video, posted on YouTube, has been viewed 38,000 times.

    Since then a sidebar has developed involving fellow SGA senator Claire Smith, who wrote a juvenile and poorly crafted email blaming Pointers for Life, the group displaying the crosses, posted here first, for King's behavior. She was responding to a respectful complaint that the SGA had not reprimanded King.

    Pro-lifer Milissa fowarded UWSP official Steven Ward a link to my posting of Smith's email. Smith first responded last night by shedding just a tad more light on King's SGA staus.

    Later Ward forwarded Milissa an email he had just sent Smith. It is good to see at least 1 UWSP administrator appreciates the ramifications of King's actions as well as the significance of an immature little snit making matters worse. I also appreciate Ward's transparency. Here's his latest email...
