- Jivin Jehoshaphat says abortionist David Grimes is back at it again, defending his profession “by looking at research (some from more than 50 years ago) which follows women who were denied abortions.” Grimes’ argument says unwanted children don’t do as well in life as wanted children. But Jivin J points out, “You know who fares far less than their peers? Children who are aborted.”
- Two abortion clinics have closed in Mexico, with one being a Marie Stopes facility which was the site of a 40 Days for Life campaign. The facility was reportedly “shut down by the government for numerous violations… and the building is now plastered with giant infringement signs.”
- Culture Campaign says that apparently, women either don’t think they can “have it all” or no longer seem to want it all when it comes to successful careers and family. Career advancement is winning, while the U.S. population is not:
As of 2013, the general fertility rate in the U.S., as measured by the number of babies women between 15 and 44 have over their lifetimes, had fallen for six straight years and sat at 1.86, according to the New York Times. Maintaining a stable U.S. population would require a fertility rate of 2.1. - Father Frank Pavone says that despite abortion’s legality, the law is “not valid as a law” according to the Catholic Church, as it contradicts the law of God:
Rather, they are acts of violence, and must be resisted rather than obeyed. To be valid and binding, a law must never contradict the law of God.
- Live Action News draws attention to a punk rock band, to be featured at Europe’s Eurovision, which is comprised entirely of band members with Down syndrome and autism. LA says this is “the first band of their kind to make it to the semi-finals of this contest.”
- American Life League’s Judie Brown chastises Catholic bishops who seem more interested in political correctness than standing for their faith and for life issues:
Contrary to the pope’s view on capital punishment, Catholic teaching on the death penalty does not raise the use of capital punishment to the level of an intrinsic evil. However, Catholic teaching does define every act of procured abortion as intrinsically evil. So we wonder why the Massachusetts Catholic bishops have chosen to defend a terrorist’s right to life while saying little about the fact that, every 20 seconds in this nation, an innocent baby is aborted.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
“abortionist David Grimes is back at it again, defending his profession “by looking at research (some from more than 50 years ago) which follows women who were denied abortions.” Grimes’ argument says unwanted children don’t do as well in life as wanted children.”
So just to be clear, he is saying that abortion bans DO in fact reduce the number of abortions performed. Good to hear.
Father Frank Pavone says that despite abortion’s legality, the law is “not valid as a law” according to the Catholic Church, as it contradicts the law of God – what an odd thing to come out with. The laws of the church only apply within the church, we don’t live in a theocracy.
Rather, they are acts of violence, and must be resisted rather than obeyed. To be valid and binding, a law must never contradict the law of God. – Father Frank is going to remain rather disappointed, the laws are both valid and binding. Whether they contradict the laws of any god is irrelevant.
Despots overrule the moral laws. We all know how this works.
Negro Slavery, the Armenian Genocide, the Nazi Holocaust, and the Abortion Holocaust were all enforced by law.
Whose moral laws Del? Yours, mine or someone else’s?
We are lucky enough to not be living under any despots.
The end of slavery, the right for women to vote, the right for people of different races to wed, the right to decide which god or none you will believe in, the provision of women’s reproductive rights and freedoms – all enforced by law.
“Don’t do as well in life as wanted children” Funny. There are people everywhere who want children even those cast aside by others.
Natural Law
The birth rate will continue to fall until men are finally encouraged and expected to shoulder their share of the responsibilities in raising a child. I am 34 and childless, and seeing how my female colleague parents are treated in my workplace compared to my male colleague patents is enough to make me want to stay that way.
And isn’t that funny that that issue is not addressed by all these women who promote abortion as a freedom? Mothers are to ignore subjugation in the workplace because we could have “chosen” not to have our children, while male piers are treated better.
Women have to deal with more sexual harassment and exploitation than ever before, however, we are told that abortion has freed us?? China’s one child policy / forced abortion, is being propagatated by one world elitists, and we are expected to see this as our great hope for humanity. FORCED ABORTION, the most gruesome procedure that causes severe physical damage and often death. This is our freedom? this is our ‘right’. How sick for a woman to say this to another woman… to sink to that level of subjugation and call it feminism, is total submission. We need to love each other, to admonish, to speak up and defend eachother. Women’s rights? Get real. Whirlpool and Kenmore did more for women’s liberation than Steinman or Gosnell ever did, unless you consider subjugation kind.
It used to take half a day to do three days worth of laundry, now it takes two hour, and men can do it themselves. Men don’t *need* women. and Women are expected to work even if they have a husbands so often times the pressure is too much to have both, so the job comes first. But children need their parents, and the two parent system works by natural law which is called marriage.
