“It’s not just Hobby Lobby: the pro-life movement is winning”
Monday’s Hobby Lobby decision is part of a deeper trend: even as Obamacare worked to expand access to contraceptives, decisions by both the courts and state governments have left American women with less access to reproductive health care than they did four years ago.
Since 2010, states have moved aggressively to restrict access to abortion and taken new steps to defund family planning programs. Advocates on both sides of the issue describe the wave of changes as unprecedented.

Contraception, Health care |

Well as I had said in a previous post..they are doing it to themselves. If these clinics would follow basic standards then why would they close? As Ive stated one Cleveland abortion clinic closed because vital signs werent being taken pre op. Women were left sterile after abortions. Women were stacking lawsuits against Martin Ruddock. He closed his doors and went to work in Michigan. Be careful MI. Also the larger clinic down the street just killed a woman in March of 2014.Preterm also has pending lawsuits. A dentist was watching Lakisha Wilson being wheeled out of Preterm. The dentist said “That girl was already dead.” He took note that EMS had a towel over her face but they were no longer trying to revive her. He also noticed her skin color was that of a deceased person. The ambulance never put the sirens on indicating Wilson died in that clinic. She had a heart attack after her uterus wouldnt contract.
Her COD was uterine atony brought on by an elective intrauterine abortion. She was 5 months pregnant and while under sedation began to bleed. The abortionist could not stop the bleeding and CPR could not save her. An otherwise healthy 22 year old would be alive today had she not gone to Preterm. Pro lifers are working OT to close that one next.
Cleveland EMS is very good so they wouldnt stop working on a pt if there was any hope. Preterm issued a generic statement about how sorry they were and they render professional care to all of their patients. uh hu. I hope her family sues the pants right off of you. She also had a 2 year old. He now has no mom.
It is amusing to hear the feminists talk as if pro-lifers are taking away the public’s access to anything.
They cannot face the fact: The public doesn’t want the cheap abortion clinics and the insurance-pool overhead cost added to contraception.
When the public wants the feminist agenda, they will “win.” Until then, the pro-life movement will “win.”
Just don’t blame the pro-lifers for giving people what they want.
As long as the feminist agenda continues to want abuse and divorce and cancer and death for women, they will have trouble selling their product to the public.
Del I left and eventually divorced my husband because he was abusive to me and my children for YEARS. Its not like I did it on a whim.
Anyway, remember how disheartened prolifers were when Barky won. Turns out he is the best thing to happen to the pro life movement. Bring it on, Hilary!
“Bring it on, Hilary!”
With the age of some members of the Supreme Court, it’s not worth the risk. No point in passing a lot of legislation on the state level if the federal courts are just going to strike it down.
I have also heard that waste management companies don’t want to service Planned Parenthoods or abortion mills. Other companies also.
phillymiss: The point I was trying to make is that our cultural embrace of contraception and abortion has lead to the objectification and abuse of women and the abandonment of mothers.
This was predicted by Pope Paul VI in 1968, in Humanae vitae.
I realize that not everybody can see this yet. But the realization is dawning on more people every day. And that is why pro-life legislation and civil suits are winning, and the feminist agenda is losing ground.
Just dont blame the pro lifers for giving them what they want….right! I mean plenty of horror stories are out there if women want them. Death sterility broken relationships PAS increased risk of suicide premature birth or miscarriages with future pregnancies breast cancer and so on. However some women seem satisfied with abortion and will say theirs went off without a hitch. These are the women in the streets screaming “We Wont Go Back”!!!!! They have bought the lie that had it not been for a legal abortion clinic someone would have jammed a hanger or a rusty object through their cervix leaving them in a pool of blood to die. Many famous women back this notion. Whoopie Goldberg Margot Kidder Suzanne Somers and Linda Elerbee have all written about their illegal abortions. Also notice Somers and Elerbee both fell ill with breast cancer and Kidder had a nervous breakdown. Whoopie is the only one who seems happy about her multiple abortions.
I should add that these stories are all in a book called ‘ The Choices We Made ‘ According to Goldberg and Somers they were both forced to give themselves coathanger abortions at 14. Although that raises my eyebrows. I mean heck neither woman ended up with an infection. Must be easy. Also Somers has admitted her abortion was performed in a clinic while Whoopie went on to have 8 legal procedures after performing one on herself in Central Park to boot.
The coat hanger stories are a bit hard to swallow because you are basically working blind and the fetus is firmly attached in there. No retained tissue, scarring, infection? And didn’t Whoopie ever hear of birth control? And why would anyone self abort in Central Park, of all places? I always thought she was obnoxious and a clown for white liberals. And just because some famous women have had abortions, why is it more acceptable?
Hi phillymiss. I guess because Hollywood women know other women look up to them they are pushing for acceptance of abortion. Now Im reading the young famous women are aborting. Miley Britney Lohan. Anyway agree with you on Goldberg. Ive never watched The View. Ik who is/was on it. Jenny McCarthy and Sherry Sheppard just left. Sheppard had a lot of abortions but has since repented. She was pregnant with twins while married but miscarried one and the other was born a preemie. Nah no link to abortion there.
Our religion is against pregnancy out of wedlock. We do not think that illegitimate children are a good thing. If our unmarried employees become pregnant, they have a choice – have an abortion or seek employment elsewhere.
Heather if young women look up to Miley, Britney, etc. this country is in bad shape.
Is this post from “Harris Mercer” a joke? Children have no control over the circumstances of their birth. I would think a religious person would object more to having an abortion than having a baby out of wedlock.
[…] political leaders like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) saying that the Hobby Lobby case, which prevailed by a 5-4 vote in the Supreme Court, was based on “vague moral […]
I think harris is a troll
“I think harris is a troll”
A troll that managed to like his own comments multiple times, I assume. There’s no way that there is enough dumb people reading this to explain those likes.
We are not feeding all our wanted children, now. We have tens of thousands of illegals streaming over our borders. We sure as heck don’t need illegitimate children thrown into the mix.
I just finished my sign for a Hobby Lobby protest tomorrow. It reads…
