The new documentary film, After Tiller, sympathetically profiles the four doctors who still perform third-trimester abortions in the United States.

One, Dr. Susan Robinson, laments having to determine if a patient’s need is compelling enough to accept under the somewhat more lax laws that govern her Albuquerque, New Mexico clinic. When she was under Kansas law, the decision was largely out of her hands.

Dr. Robinson agreed to participate in the film to put “some sort of human face” to “people in abortion care.” One could only wish she would do the same for the children of her patients.

Here is the trailer:

Human life is of paramount importance to the traditional morals of Chinese culture. This concept has been trampled on by uncivilized policies and behavior – including forced abortions – to the point of complete devastation. After decades of violent abortions, people have lost almost all respect and regard for life….

That’s a tremendous amount of income. If you cut off the revenue stream of these family planning officials, of course they will be angry.

~ Chinese civil rights activist Chen Guangcheng, describing the deep roots and corruption of the One-Child family planning policy in China, as quoted by the FRC Blog via New Statesman, January 30

UPDATE Feb 1 2013, 9:52am: Larry Carter Center had his court hearing yesterday. He came in with a four-foot cane and police “to protect him from 81 year old Bill.” He faked not being to hear well and when Bill came to the podium he backed almost to the wall of the courtroom acting afraid. No video of the incident was shown in court. He was given a $55 fine and time served (27 hours in jail post-arrest). This was in spite of his being told at the court hearing for his last assault, to not get in trouble outside that clinic again.

A former escort at a South Carolina abortion clinic decided to start the year off with a bang. Literally.

Larry Carter Center (mug shot right) is a former Green Party candidate for the S.C. House of Representatives and well-known socialist activist. He has also worked as a volunteer escort for the Charleston Women’s Medical Center abortion business.

On January 12, as Carter was driving his teal sedan out of the parking lot of the abortion business, he “bumped” 81-yr-old pro-lifer William Gasque in the knee with his front bumper.

Gasque filed a complaint with the police four days later. Local 40 Days for Life leaders shared that “the police seemed genuinely disturbed by what they saw on the video.”

Center was subsequently arrested and charged with “simple assault,” which carries a penalty of up to 30 days in prison. Below is video of the incident.

The manager of the abortion clinic tried vainly to distance it from the assault, telling reporters the clinic had had a restraining order against Center for about two years.

However, this is patently untrue. Nine months prior, video footage was taken of Center wearing a clinic escort vest issued by the business. The business must have realized they would be called on this lie because as of today that claim was scrubbed of this statement.

This wasn’t the first time Center has attempted to intimidate the peaceful pro-lifers who regularly pray and counsel outside the abortion business. On July 30, 2011, police were called and a report filed when Center began mowing around a group of Catholics praying the Rosary in front of the clinic, yelling and pushing the mower into the legs of two men. The mower was running, the blades were cutting the grass. Click here to view a portion of the incident that was captured on film. Note that the available footage does not show Center bumping into the two men.

Oh. And here Center is in May 2012 attempting to wrap his tri-fold sign around another pro-lifer outside the same abortion business.

But wait, there’s more. The Charleston Women’s Medical Center is the same one where, in October 2010 resident abortionist Gary Boyle (mug shot left) pulled a gun on pro-lifers witnessing outside. According to LifeNews:

Boyle drove his silver Lexus vehicle into the parking lot and he allegedly approached the pro-life advocates, including a 17-year-old boy, and produced a black handgun loaded with 15 rounds…. Police arrested Boyle and charged him with pointing a firearm.

Following his arrest, Boyle was promptly released on a $25,000 bond. In June 2012 it was reported Boyle would receive a fine of $100 and did not have to show up in court.

Can you imagine the furor had the incident been reversed? The outcry from the media and the pro-abortion lobby if a pro-lifer had struck a clinic escort with his car? It is time that acts of “pro-choice” violence against peaceful advocates against abortion were taken seriously – by the courts, politicians, and the media.

On January 28 Planned Parenthood of the Gulf Coast (currently being sued for Medicaid fraud) featured author and founder of the blog Feministing, Jessica Valenti, at its 40th Anniversary Roe v. Wade Luncheon.

Valenti’s speech was about being an “angry feminist,” and during it she showed the following photo, explaining, “It really perfectly captures the sentiment of this particular moment in the fight for reproductive rights right now.”

The photo is of an abortion proponent protesting a bill in Virginia last year that mandated ultrasounds before abortion. I’ve edited out the vulgarity…

Two words, Jessica: Believe it.

In actuality, that photo perfectly captures the dashed expectations of the pro-abortion movement after Roe v. Wade legalized preborn child murder throughout the land in 1973.  They thought they had won. They thought disapproving Americans would eventually get over it, and abortion would become a normal part of life.

Valenti went on in her speech to say, “It’s not that I’m angry. It’s that I’m exhausted. The war on reproductive health and autonomy feels absolutely never ending.”

The fact is, Jessica, the war will indeed never end – until we win.

Though a righteous person falls seven times, he will rise again,
but the wicked stumble into calamity. ~ Proverbs 24:16

• A California assemblywoman has taken up the mantle of “increasing access to abortion” in the state where it is arguably most accessible. Her bill would allow non-physicians to be abortionists.
• The pro-life student group at Oklahoma State is suing the university after being preventing from distributing leaflets with images of abortion.
• A California man named John Collins has been charged with attempted homicide (among other crimes) after he attempted to kill an unborn child in a Target parking lot (video here):
  

  … [T]he woman got away in the damaged vehicle, but the suspect followed her to a nearby retail parking lot where the confrontation resumed.

  “During that time, he armed himself with a baseball bat again,” said [Officer Chris] Trim. “And, according to the victim, swung the baseball bat, striking her in the stomach. She is seven months pregnant.”

  In addition to attempted homicide, Collins is charged with domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon and making death threats. The woman was taken to a local hospital. She and her unborn child are said to be okay.

Reported by Kristi Burton Brown at Live Action:

What’s odd about the video itself is that, other than small snippets of voice-over about abortion and women, there’s no real connection between the women featured and the choice of abortion. Instead, the video is rather flippant, attempting to portray “choice” as something really easy, common, and rather everyday. I mean, it’s pretty common for women to change their hairstyles and get their hair cut. (It seems the majority of women in this video are playing with or changing their hair in some way.)

Other women are featured blowing bubble gum, painting their faces, wearing head and face coverings, and exercising. None of these things are life-threatening choices. None of these things interfere with another innocent life. None of these things even affect another life, much less take it.

NARAL’s “celebration” of Roe v. Wade is senseless, bizarre, flippant, and just plain odd. Trying to feature happy women making everyday choices and relating that to the heinous tragedy of abortion is evidence of desperation and deception.

And here it is, “40 Photographers Faces, 40 Years of Choice”….

You remind me so much of that Democrat, Margaret Sanger, who succeeds with her plan to this very day to get blacks to participate in their own genocide, and use charming black folks to encourage other blacks to feel empowered and enlightened for believing that killing their children is okay.

Yeah baby, I remember our anniversary. The decision in 1973 that would usher in the death of over 53 million babies…baby.

And you’re still looking good at 40, baby. Mmmm. What is yo’ secret?

UPDATE 1/29, 5p: LifeSiteNews.com reported today:

Yesterday, CRR’s bizarre video was featured on their site and on Youtube. But last night – voila! – it vanished. (Although, as we know, nothing ever disappears completely from the web, and other Youtube users have already rescued it from oblivion.)

And no wonder. The video, featuring Mehcad Brooks, didn’t exactly go over as CRR intended. It got tens of thousands of views, but from all the wrong people. The commenters were overwhelmingly appalled, and “dislikes” overwhelmed the number of likes on Youtube by a considerable factor.

UPDATE 1/23, 10a: The Hollywood Reporter reports CRR’s disgusting ad is being “slammed”:

Necessary Roughness star Mehcad Brooks is taking some heat for a new PSA celebrating the 40^th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

In a video… Brooks talks to the camera seductively as if he were addressing a lover on his anniversary, calling her “baby” and holding a rose….

A Fox News Channel panel slammed the ad Tuesday [clip below], with The Five’s Andrea Tantaros saying it would likely offend both pro-life and pro-choice viewers.

“I think everybody can agree there is something tasteless about this ad. It seems to glorify and sexualize abortion,” she said. “I don’t think one woman out there celebrates the anniversary of her abortion.”

Online, a number of Twitter users also expressed distaste, with one woman wring she’d deleted USA’s Necessary Roughness from her DVR. Another Twitter user called it “despicable” and “tasteless.” But others online shared the video, urging their followers to “Join Mehcad Brooks. Celebrate 40 years of Roe.”

Twitchy reported the same reaction:

Mother Jones kicked off the 40th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision with a poorly considered “happy birthday” wish, so why not a “happy anniversary” as well, complete with a rose and some slow jams in the background?… [B]ut the humor of the ad is lost on quite a few who don’t consider 40 years of abortion a laughing matter.

Twitchy posted some of the Tweets responding negatively to Brooks’ ad as “tasteless,” “racist,” and “sexist.” And…

and

Neverthless, CRR boasts having received 200,000 petition signatures supporting abortion in response to the ad, certainly the base of the base.

Here was The Five’s response to the ad…

1/22, 5:38p: At first I thought this must be some sort of spoof.

But the following video is supposedly intended to promote abortion, posted today by the Center for Reproductive Rights, with the intro:

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade we didn’t buy a ruby. Instead, the Center for Reproductive Rights asked Mehcad Brooks of the USA Network’s “Necessary Roughness” and HBO’s “True Blood” to prepare a special video message just for you.

Here’s that special message:

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

Offensive much? Were producers that stupid as not to see the video makes one of our points? Of course creepy cads love abortion.

Is there any feminist out there who won’t be insulted by this video? Or will they try to laugh it off? And blacks? Will they, too, shrug off the stereotype?

Noted Ryan Bomberger of TooManyAborted.com:

The Center for Reproductive Rights, like Planned Parenthood, certainly understands its main demographic. “Happy 40th Anniversary, Baby” ironically uses a man (who is normally treated as persona non grata) to pitch abortion.

The fact that CRR use a black man just screams irony. With the black abortion rate as high as it is and black fathers as absent as they are, it’s just sick to see Mehcad Brooks shill for the number one killer in the black community, and the killer of 55 million plus since ’73.
