Sunday night, the actress took some time off from Mormon bashing to retweet a follower rooting for Tropical Storm Isaac to “wash every pro-life, anti-education, anti-woman, xenophobic, gay-bashing, racist SOB right into the ocean!” Or as Barkin would call them, conservatives….

As many Twitter bios indicate, a retweet is not necessarily an endorsement. But Barkin didn’t give any indication that she disagreed with the revolting sentiment when she retweeted it to her followers.

From the Pro-Life Action League:

It was five years ago (August 25, 2007) that the first protest was held at the site of Planned Parenthood’s massive abortion clinic in Aurora, Illinois. Pro-lifers had already been praying at the site for weeks, beginning shortly after it was learned the building — represented to city officials as a multi-use medical office — would house one of the largest abortion clinics in the country.

Protests have been held every third Saturday since the facility’s opening, and according to PLAL, the anniversary protest this year had a great turnout:

These protests will continue until Planned Parenthood shuts its doors in Aurora for good.  Joining us this month was Lynda Weis, an Aurora resident and amateur photographer, who took some great shots of the protest.

And here’s video of the very first protest from five years ago.  (See Jill posing with another pro-life friend at the 6:00 mark.)  I was also there several times in 2007, praying that the abortuary would never open up due to its deception in gaining entry into Aurora.

I saw this ad in the Pensacola airport last night and could think of no easier and clearer way to explain how abortion is jeopardizing our Social Security system, and, in fact, the security and welfare of our elderly population, in general. Click to enlarge…

I am so in love with my son Lorenzo Dominic. I had my little man last night, healthy at 6lbs! He’s my world!..

Being a mom is an amazing feeling! I love my little man to death! Jionni is such a cute dad.

I have a new poll question up, in keeping with the latest flak over abortion:

Do you think abortion should be legal in cases of rape or incest?

Vote on the lower right side of the home page.

The last poll was revealing. Obviously and sadly, abortion permeates our culture….

As always, make comments to either the previous or current poll here, not on the Vizu website.

Astronaut and American hero Neil Armstrong passed away August 25 at the age of 82.

Andy Moore of AbortionWiki.com made an interesting point in the above graphic, adding in a Facebook post:

If while on the Moon Neil Armstrong were forcibly removed from the life-support system: his space suit, he would not have been “viable.” This would not make it right to forcibly remove him from his space suit. Can we please just accept that the “viability” argument is childish and completely irrelevant to the acceptability of abortion?

Whenever Armstrong left earth he became nonviable, according to the working definition used by abortion proponents. Whether he was in a spaceship or spacesuit, Armstrong was dependent on the cocoon surrounding him for survival. In fact, whenever any of us fly, we are nonviable. The plane becomes our womb.

Weekend questions: Is this comparison fair? And is it okay for pro-lifers to use the occasion of Armstrong’s death to make the comparison?

The day is near when I, the Lord,
will judge all godless nations!
As you have done to Israel,
so it will be done to you.
All your evil deeds
will fall back on your own heads.
