You must remember, my friends, that many times I have planned to visit you, but something has always kept me from doing so. I want to win converts among you also, as I have among other Gentiles.
For I have an obligation to all peoples, to the civilized and to the savage, to the educated and to the ignorant.

When Willie and Carol Fowler of Atlanta, Georgia learned their daughter’s wedding had been called off, they decided to contact Hosea Feed the Hungry. Instead of the planned wedding reception they hosted more than 200 needy people for a four-course meal at Villa Christina.
Said Mrs. Fowler: “When you have a function that you are unable to fulfill, take those funds and help a non-profit organization.” Her husband added: “We are one family created by one parent and we should be about aiding, supporting and protecting one another.”

The assisted suicide advocacy organization, the euphemistically named Compassion and Choices (formerly the Hemlock Society) was deeply involved – by the group’s own account – in drafting portions of the Obamacare legislation. So, could Obamacare lead to greater assisted suicide? You betcha.
Reginald Sharpe, an abortionist with a long and sordid history, was on duty at the time of the emergency. Sharpe was known to have killed a patient in January, 2008 during a botched second trimester abortion. Sharpe reportedly perforated the woman’s uterus and “cut a uterine blood vessel, lacerated her intestines, and liver.” She died eight days later.
Now in 2013 the debate is over a ludicrous issue; birth control and easy access to abortions to be paid for with our money, our tax dollars. Oh, it’s all couched neatly and wrapped up in a “health care for all” bow, but it is still all foolishness. I’ve been saying that as the mother of two daughters and grandmother to three precious girls, they don’t need free birth control and easy abortions….
When we live in a world that is moved by the rescue of a small kitten, yet remains largely unmoved by the daily barbaric killing of pre-born children, something seems very wrong. This disregard towards the unborn finds its epitome in the fact that some parents are not only willing to kill their pre-born children, but to have photographs taken of the murdered baby as a memento.

From TheDaily Mail.co.UK…
Former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton has announced that she
and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, plan on trying for their first
child next year.
The 33-year-old, who has faced much pressure from her parents
to start a family, told Glamour magazine while conducting
humanitarian work in Africa: ‘2014 is the year of the baby.’
Chelsea added: ‘Call my mother and tell her that. She asks
[Marc and I] about it every single day.’
Wow, two pro-choicers excited about a baby….

Abortionist Emil Felski kills babies at the Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando clinic.
But Felski also has his own private ob/gyn practice in Casselberry, Florida, where he also covertly commits abortions.
Pro-life activists often pray and protest at Felski’s office, to let his patients and the public know about his side job, and to encourage him to stop murdering babies.
On October 1, Felski was not happy when spotting two pro-lifers holding signs as he came to work (in what looks like a Corvette).
As the video below shows, Felski stopped his car on a 6-lane highway to first snap photos of the pro-lifers and then abscond with the “Repent Dr. Felski!” sign….

The pro-lifers called police, who came and retrieved the bent sign from Felski. Good for them, the pro-lifers are pressing charges….

Pro-Life Action League posted a piece earlier this week proving one reason these protests are effective.
Recall the name Cheryl Chastine? When late-term abortionist George Tiller’s Wichita, Kansas, clinic reopened earlier this year, pro-lifers learned she was hired as a circuit rider abortionist. I took part in one of several PLAL protests are Chastine’s (pictured right) Oak Park, Illinois, private practice.
So on September 30, PLAL reported:
When Total Wellness moved to their new location in July, Chastine did not go with them. Clearly, Total Wellness recognized that employing an abortionist – and, as a result, the reality that our regular protests would continue to be regular – was a liability they could not afford….
[O]ur sources in Wichita tell us that Chastine is now the only doctor doing abortions there, and that “business” is slow. And what’s more, since she lost her family practice position at Total Wellness this summer, it appears she’s not working anywhere in the Chicago area.
Let this serve as a cautionary tale for other doctors thinking they can get away with “quietly” doing abortions. Sooner or later, we’ll find out you’re doing abortions, and you’ll be protested, and the “stigma” of abortion will be attached to you. It will most definitely make your patients uneasy, and you will lose business.
Think about it, Doc: Is it worth it?
Ideally, doctors should refuse to perform abortions because – at the risk of stating the obvious – killing babies is wrong. But if moral reasons aren’t enough, we’ll settle for a doctor refusing to do abortions out of concern for his own self-interest.
Amen.
On a side note, Felski appeared in the movie, Parenthood….

I’m reminded of Planned Parenthood abortionist Timothy Liveright, who appeared in the movie, Blue Valentine. It would not surprise me in the least to learn Hollywood agents call Planned Parenthood for referrals.

I am so proud of my family. I grew up across the table from Moses, who has cerebral palsy, and next to my sister Quincy, born of a drug-addicted inner-city mother, and Minh, who is blind. I could never have understood what it means to grow up blind or with cerebral palsy.
I saw problems and needs, so the next thing you think is: O.K., what are you going to do about it?

During her speech at a Planned Parenthood of Central Oklahoma fundraiser on September 21, liberal feminist icon Gloria Steinem broached an uncomfortable topic for abortion proponents: the pandemic of missing girls.
In 2011, that number was estimated to be 160 million. In her book, Unnatural selection: Choosing boys over girls, and the consequences of a world full of men, pro-abortion author Mara Hvistendahl, a correspondent for Science magazine, blamed ultrasound technology and abortion for the gendercide. This is simply common sense.
I give Steinem points for raising the issue, particularly at a Planned Parenthood event, since it was only last year that a Live Action investigation exposed several PPs around the country as perfectly willing to commit sex-selective abortions.
But I must immediately take back most of those points, because Steinem was dishonest about the main cause of those missing girls, sex-selective abortions. From Steinem’s speech:
There is a son surplus and a daughter deficit because of female infanticide, and there is a huge market in sex trafficking, where the life expectancy is very, very short.
Now if the 160 million missing girls all died by infanticide, there would be piles of dead baby girls on every street corner in many Asian countries. Consider that this number is roughly the population of females in the United States. That’s a lot of girls. Steinem’s claim defies logic.
Gloria Steinem is a smart woman. I know she knows the truth. But liberal feminist abortion pushers can’t acknowledge that abortion is actually devastating to feminism, because to do so would be to shake the foundation of all they stand for.
