The backstory, from an hlntv.com, article entitled, “Chicago ads stir outrage,” indicates that, among others, the transgender community that is offended:

Chicago officials have birthed a controversy with a new campaign that critics say unfairly targets the city’s young boys.

The billboard series titled “Unexpected” shows teenage males with their bellies protruding as if they’re pregnant.

It’s already happening. In less than a week, two cases involving children in need of lung transplants have gone to court challenging government policy.

This leads to the larger question: Should the government be intervening in this sort of healthcare policy to begin with? Be sure to vote in the poll at the bottom of this post.

CelebTV reports on actor Brad Pitt’s recent Esquire Magazine interview in which he “opens up about loving the life he’s living” with actress fiancée Angelina Jolie and their six children:

I always thought that if I wanted to do a family, I wanted to do it big…. There’s constant chatter in our house, whether it’s giggling or screaming or crying or banging.  I love it….

I just haven’t known life to be any happier.

Joining the BusNuns this time is ol’ Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) who has a perfect pro-abortion record. She is rated 100% by NARAL. What a distinction!

These Nuns keep some odd company, don’t they?

~ Father John Zuhlsdorf, noticing the Nuns on the Bus Tour sponsored by NETWORK Catholic Social Justice Lobby, which had as its speaker pro-abortion congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (pictured), What Does the Prayer Really Say?, May 31

In April, Hans posted video of a woman at Ohio State University knocking down signs that had been erected by Created Equal showing the atrocity of abortion.

The vandal was identified as OSU student Calysta Santacroce, and Created Equal filed charges.

On May 7 criminal charges were lowered to “disorderly conduct” on the condition that Santacroce plead guilty and pay restitution of $126 to Created Equal, which she paid in cash that day.

When the judge asked Santacroce to explain herself, she said it had been a bad day, and she  did something she knows she shouldn’t have. “He [CE staff member] provoked me,” Santacroce claimed.

When the judge asked how so, Santacroce responded, “He asked me, ‘What do you think of my signs?’”

Santacroce was fined $50, in addition to the restitution.

Here again is that video. Warning: Profanity…

• In First Things, Clarke Forsythe discusses how the Supreme Court helped create abortionists like Kermit Gosnell:
  

  Because the Justices foolishly believed that abortion had few risks, and that abortion providers should have complete discretion to decide how to perform abortions in the first trimester, the Justices said that state and local officials could not regulate them in the first trimester. The Justices prohibited state health and safety regulations for abortion clinics in the first trimester of pregnancy when 90 percent of abortions are performed.

Last February, Erica Nigrelli, an English teacher at Elkins High School in Missouri City, Texas, was visiting a colleague’s classroom when she passed out. She was 36 weeks pregnant at the time.  Her husband Nathan, also an English teacher there, was among those who attended her. Her heart had stopped, and it took the use of CPR and a defibrillator  by school nurse Jennifer Longoria, her assistant Maxine Reeves, and athletic trainer June Tomlin to get it going again till paramedics arrived.

The emergency C-Section that delivered baby Elayna was technically post-mortem because Erica’s heart had stopped again. She was revived and later diagnosed with hypertropic cardiomyopathy.

Here is the initial report from CNN:

Erica’s co-workers were honored at a city council meeting.

You can see how the Nigrelli family is doing now in this interview with CNN’s Early Start.

Did doctors in a country that bans abortion under any circumstances manage to terminate the pregnancy without violating the law?…

“An abortion is done with the intent of killing the baby,” said José Miguel Fortín Magaña, director of the Institute of Legal Medicine, which evaluates medical issues for the nation’s highest court. “An induction is done with the intent of saving the mother.”
