I’m no constitutional scholar, but I’m told the “right to privacy” was invented to provide a foundation for the “right to abortion.”

But privacy appears to be a “right” only when convenient for liberals.

While the Left calls Bradley Manning a “hero” for releasing classified military information, and likewise calls Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks, “a flawed-hero figure fearlessly committed to the freedom of information” – “flawed” only because two women with “questionable motivations” have accused him of rape, the Left draws the line when the right to abortion privacy is breached.

Currently a writer at RH Reality Check is castigating me for being the first to release the names of late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart’s victims, Jennifer Morbelli and her preborn daughter Madison Leigh, along with details surrounding their deaths, provided to me by multiple sources.

I’m told Washington Post got the names only 30 minutes after I did – from yet another source – so they would have eventually come out.

The real point of the attack against me is obvious. Abortion proponents want to draw attention away from the fact that a high profile hero of their movement is likely responsible for the death of a woman.

How do I know this?

Easy. Feminists are hypocrites. They always ignore when abortionists themselves are cavalier about medical privacy. I have the names of probably 100 mothers who have gotten abortions at clinics owned by Carhart, Alberto Hodari, and others, only because these people indiscriminately tossed their private information into the trash, for instance, the following, which I’ve posted before (redacted)…

But it is ideologically inconvenient for feminists to trash abortionists for recklessly trashing the names of mothers who kill their babies.

Still, the question remains, how far do pro-lifers go when it comes to protecting privacy vs. exposing the darkness of abortion to sunlight?

I consider myself a thoughtful militant about this topic. Abortion is mass genocide being committed on the grandest scale in human history. I view how I sift information I receive as how I would sift information I might have received as a civil disobedient in Adolf Hitler’s midst, or in the midst of slave ship traders.

• Live Action comments on the recent Al Jazeera appearance of Lila Rose, who was the sole representative of the pro-life cause on the program. Rose was pitted against several abortion supporters, including Katie Stack (formerly of MTV’s “No Easy Decision”), who is now employed as a clinic escort yet seems to be both struggling with and seeking to justify her past abortion:

• American Life League’s Judie Brown discusses the disregard for human life in the recent case of a pregnant New Jersey woman who ingested cocaine – passing the addiction on to her child – and was not found guilty of child abuse:
  

  … [G]arbage is handled with more respect than human beings. We respect “mother earth.” We recycle to protect the environment and we process wet garbage to create compost that is then used for the farming of fruits and vegetables. But when we deal with inconvenient humans like preborn children, the disabled, or the dying, we disregard all manner of reverence for human life in favor of crass disdain.

• Down on the Pharm memorializes Dr. C. Everett Koop, who passed away this week at the age of 96:
  

  Pro-lifers saw him as a man of conviction, driven by empathy for the sick and suffering.

  It remains a mystery to most… that a man who opposed homosexual activity would be a staunch advocate for HIV research. Most of the media, when recounting the accomplishments of Dr. Koop, have been remarking on this as though it is somehow contradictory. The rest of us see no contradiction or anomaly. Helping the sick is the natural thing to do, regardless of how they acquired the illness.

• Clinic Quotes posts a quote from Dr. John Fletcher in 1979 on sex-selection abortion – still very much an issue today:
  

  The existence of some trivial reasons should not deter us from the larger goal of protecting the right of women to make such decisions in the first place…. It is inconsistent to support an abortion law that protects the absolute right of women to decide and, at the same time, to block access to information about the fetus because one thinks that an abortion may be foolishly sought on the basis of the information.

• Euthanasia Prevention Coalition links to an article by Wesley J. Smith which states that despite its illegality, Belgium has been euthanizing disabled children for quite some time – and is now looking to make the killing legal. Eugenics is alive and well.

• The Leading Edge reports that during a membership drive week at Sydney University in Australia, LifeChoice Sydney’s booth was defaced with crude messaging (see right) which implied that free speech is only allowed if it doesn’t offend anyone else.
• Fletcher Armstrong says the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform will be bringing graphic abortion images to Nashville today for the start of the National Religious Broadcasters Convention this week. Gaylord Opryland Hotel Resort & Convention Center, the host of the convention, is now part of Marriott International, which has acknowledged in writing that they contribute to Planned Parenthood and will continue to do so.
• Bound4Life has an excellent analysis of Planned Parenthood’s claim that they deserve $542M/year because they are comprehensive health care providers. The fact is that every service PP offers is offered by other providers… except for abortion.
• Culture Campaign points to the case of parents bringing suit against the school their transgendered child, Coy, attends. The school refused to allow Coy to use the girls’ restroom, instead offering a neutral restroom in the faculty area, but the parents were not pleased. In two different news accounts of this case, it appears that the child’s mother is quite vocal, while the father remains more passive:

Cecile Richards, head of notorious abortion provider Planned Parenthood, has publicly celebrated former President Richard Nixon, who was a racist in full support of aborting “little black b***ards,” as he called them.  Outraged black leaders such as Alveda King and Day Gardner launched a video exposing Richards’ statements and the racist, eugenicist roots of PP’s and Nixon’s mission. King remarked:

2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, 50th anniversary of MLK’s I Have a Dream speech, yet we find blacks are still shackled, supporting an organization that considers aborting “little black b***ards” an age of enlightenment.

There was such an outcry over an “Abortion Battles” baby-killing game video posted on YouTube by students at Hunter College in New York, New York, that they have removed it.

But not so fast. Pro-lifer Meg saved it, and I have reposted it…

[youtube]http://youtu.be/kpQ1HpAhY_0[/youtube]

The video shows male students stuffing balloons under their shirts and then attacking each other with plastic forks. Students shout and applaud when balloons are popped, which simulates the murder of a preborn baby. One shouts, “Kill that baby, kill that baby!”

According to the New York Post:

Marco Rosales, who posted the video, wrote, “We were introduced to this epic game called `Abortion Battles.’ It’s somewhat unorthodox, but it’s really fun! Lol!.”

Interesting that this twisted game was conceived in New York, which has abortion on the brain. As nyc41percent.com reports:

New York City has one of the highest abortion ratios in America.  Forty percent of viable pregnancies end in abortion in the five boroughs today – almost double the national average – and nearly 60% of viable African-American pregnancies in the city are aborted every year.

But that’s not enough baby killing for NY Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, who has proposed greater abortion expansions in the state via his Reproductive Health Act, which would allow nonphysicians to commit abortions.

So now abortion has entered the NY psyche to the extent that mock baby-killing is sport. This wasn’t harmless. It was sinister.

Democrats formed the KKK and assassinated Republicans because they hated them so much and they’ve been trying to destroy the Republican Party ever since.

Why?

Because the Republican Party stood against people forcing someone else to be their subject.

Democrats want to destroy the Republican Party because of their pro-life stand.

Why?

Because the Republican Party stood against people forcing unborn children to be subject to death.

Planned Parenthood triggered a massive identity crisis in the pro-abortion world when it announced on February 9 it was abandoning the term “pro-choice.”

I mentioned at the time Planned Parenthood must certainly not have conferred with such groups as NARAL Pro-Choice America before dropping its bombshell.

I don’t think abortion advocacy groups appreciate the fact that Planned Parenthood is a billion dollar business. So its decisions will be primarily market-driven, which may or may not be coincide with the best interest of ideological groups – one of the hard truths about the 1%.

Thus, Planned Parenthood basically hung NARAL, et al, out to dry, forcing them to defend their commitment to the word “choice.”

In an interview with Politico today, new NARAL president Ilyse Hogue said her group is doubling down…

… to redefine “choice.” It’s the right to end a pregnancy – and the right to start one, including access to pricey fertility treatment. Once a baby is born, parents should have paid family leave to take care of them.

I asked several pro-life leaders for their insights about the other side’s growing schizophrenia over the word “choice.”  Eric Scheidler of Pro-Life Action League wrote:

As Planned Parenthood backs away from the language of “choice,” NARAL is trying to expand it. These contradictory strategies show how effectively the pro-life movement has rammed home the message that “choice” means abortion – any time, for any reason or no reason at all. That’s what Planned Parenthood and NARAL stand for, no matter what new slogans they come up with or old ones they try to dust off.

Jim Sedlak of American Life League added:

Both Planned Parenthood and NARAL are having problems with the word “choice.” PP is running away from it and NARAL is trying to redefine it.

Their basic problem is that they are not able to relate to the younger generation. NARAL’s former president admitted that is why she left. For 40 years pro-lifers have been telling people that we will eventually win because we are having children while the other side is not. All those children of pro-life families now make-up the majority of the younger generation. They are rejecting the “pro-choice” lies. PP and NARAL don’t know what to do about it.

From a public relations standpoint, Kristina Hernandez, Senior Account Manager for CRC Public Relations, noted:

NARAL is actually following PP’s lead. Abortion is a losing issue. They need something else to reel in the masses, so they are trying to figure out what works.

How does endorsing fertility treatments and parental leave play with the younger generation? I doubt they care about such things until later in life. If NARAL is so keen on being hip and young, why choose those issues?

Speaking for the youth, Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life of America suggested the appeal might be to appear as a more well-rounded social justice movement:

Hogue’s statements are reflective of the general census in the U.S. that abortions are wrong. Instead of focusing on abortion, the other side wants to move beyond it, as they know its a loser for them.

This is new redefining campaign targeted at this generation, who knows the tired arguments of “it’s just a blob of tissue” are scientifically wrong.

Abortion proponents are hoping their “holistic” approach will help bring in more of the mushy-middle young women out there who don’t like abortion but also want to make sure help is always available for women.

It kinda sounds like they are trying to do what the pro-life movement has done in some ways – moving beyond just focusing on the baby but now being sure to always include the women when we talk about the effect of abortion.

I see this as a challenge for the pro-life movement.

• The Arkansas Legislature has overridden Gov. Beebe’s veto of the state’s 20-week abortion ban.
• An Alabama health committee heard testimony on legislation to regulate abortion clinics. One ob/gyn noted some of the problems created by circuit-riding abortionists:
  

  Matt Phillips, an obstetrician and gynecologist in Montgomery, spoke in favor of the bill and said the hospital privileges were an important requirement.

  “In these botched abortions, when the patient is in trouble, it’s usually at night,” Phillips said. “The abortionist has already gone back to their own town. Then the patient arrives at the ER, unattended. In that case, oftentimes, we’re called to the ER to clean up the mess. Now I don’t mind cleaning up the mess because I took a Hippocratic Oath to take care of people. But it’s good care to be able to stay and take care of your patients.”

From In the Market with Janet Parshall…

Licensed marriage and family therapist Dr. Linda Mintle discusses cultural changes over issues of sexuality and the unspoken consequences brought on by taking a casual view of sex.

Both the audio and the video are Christian in nature, yet applicable to all who support no premarital sex/no casual sex.
