Pro-life news brief 4-22-13

  • Longtime abortion advocate and abortionist David Grimes tries to intentionally deceive Washington Post readers with this quote:

    David Grimes, former head of the CDC’s abortion surveillance branch, said clinics like Gosnell’s were commonplace before Roe v. Wade, the court case that legalized abortion. Today, the problem of substandard clinics is so small that the branch, which investigated problem clinics, no longer exists, he said.“The legalization of abortion stands out as a public health triumph,” he said. “Over 1,000 women died every year from illegal abortion in the 1940s. Now it’s less than a handful a year. That’s the story, not one aberrant doctor in Philadelphia.”

    Wait. 1,000 women died every year in the 1940’s? Wasn’t abortion legalized in the 1970’s? Why is Grimes using statistics from 30 years before abortion was legalized to make his case?

    Oh yeah, that’s right – because in 1972, 39 women (as opposed to over a thousand) died from illegal abortion. An additional 24 women died from legal abortion in 1972.

Singer Michael Bublé serenades his preborn son

Ecstatic for the upcoming arrival of his baby boy, Bublé, who’s been serenading Lopilato’s stomach, isn’t letting anything stand in his way when it comes to being a doting dad — even if his audience is a little hard of hearing. “[I was singing to the baby] early on, really early on, and I didn’t […]

Stanek weekend question II: Blaming pro-lifers for Gosnell is like…

Reading through your clever comments this morning prompted me to think of another weekend question, or rather a “complete this sentence”: Blaming pro-lifers for Gosnell is like… For instance: Commenter Ninek: “… like blaming vegans for an e-coli outbreak at a shoddy meat processor.” Commenter SM: “… like blaming folks who work to prevent the […]

Stanek Sunday funnies 4-21-13

Here were my top five favorite political cartoons this week. Don’t forget to vote for your favorite in the poll at the bottom of the post.

I mentioned last Sunday I anticipated more political cartoons about Kermit Gosnell to be forthcoming. Of course, none of us knew the Boston Marathon bombing was just one day away, which understandably diverted attention from the infanticide abortionist. But liberal Signe Wilkinson at GoComics.com still found time to blame pro-lifers for the mass murderer…

Stanek weekend video: Mumford & Sons’ “Timshel”

by Hans Johnson Popular British folk rock group Mumford & Sons has a song called “Timshel” which many feel has a supportive, decidedly pro-life bent.
