On January 23 the Style channel will premiere a new reality series, Big Rich Atlanta.

It’s a take off of Big Rich Texas, which is take off of the various Real Housewives series, none of which I’ve watched more than a few minutes, because everything about them makes me sad – the plasticity, the exploitation, the shallowness – everything. I just keep thinking to myself, “These poor people so need Jesus.”

But I digress.

At least one of the two stars of Big Rich Atlanta merits attention, Meagan McBrayer, pictured right.

Meagan is the daughter of abortionist Daniel McBrayer, who has a chop shop in the Atlanta, Georgia, suburb of Marietta.

We in the pro-life movement don’t believe children should be punished for the sins of their fathers.

But this father has passed his sin on to his daughter.

Meagan’s Style bio lists her as a “licensed real estate agent,” which may be true. But Meagan also works at her dad’s office.

Pro-life activists attest to seeing Meagan go to work, and Abby Johnson called yesterday asking to speak with Meagan and was told she wasn’t working that day but would return in a couple of days.

Dumpster diving pro-lifers also found a ledger from August 2012 listing all Alpha Group Gyn employees, with their phone numbers. Meagan ‘s name was on that list. See excerpts right.

(Shout outs to other employees Alberta, Angela, Anna, Cris, Eileen, Gina, Heidi, Imogene, Judy, Kensey, Krystal, Leslie, Lind, Maria, Nuria, Pamela, Racquel, Ramona, Shquana, Tiny, and Tonia. I could out you due to your own carelessness but won’t.)

So in some part Meagan’s “rich” lifestyle comes from the blood money of abortion.

Daniel McBrayer, mug shot right, is currently being investigated by the Georgia Composite Medical Board for illegally dumping patient files and biohazardous waste, and for illegally committing second trimester abortions.

McBrayer was arrested in 2009 for road rage after he punched the female driver of another car in the face.

The GCMB also disciplined McBrayer in 2002 for committing illegal second-trimester abortions.

And McBrayer caused the death of 27-yr-old abortion patient Catherine Pierce along with her child in 1989.

Such a messed up father could explain Meagan’s penchant for older men, as she admitted in a Big Rich Atlanta teaser. “I just like people who are at least – just – 10 years older than me,” said Meagan, to which her mother interjected, “It’s a daddy thing, I think,” with Meagan agreeing, “Yes, it must be a daddy issue.”

It is unclear whether Meagan’s mother Marcia Marchman, who is divorced from McBrayer, is on the show due to wealth accumulated from McBrayer’s abortion income.

The show lists Marchman as an “interior designer,” but how did she pay for her home? With whose money did she accumulate the antiques she loves to collect?

Marcia says in the above teaser she is dating one of her two ex-husbands. Is that McBrayer?

Inquiring pro-life minds need to know.

Until these two extricate themselves from abortionist McBrayer and his money, pro-lifers with a penchant for watching reality tv are encouraged to stay away from Big Rich Atlanta.

• Pro-Life in TN spots an editorial which suggests using “sacred terminology” when discussing abortion, claiming the killing of preborn children is “wise, brave, loving, generous, responsible and self sacrificing.”The author also states that since raising children is so important, “every baby should have its toes kissed,” meaning abortion is a good and moral choice if a woman just isn’t ready to give birth.

  So much for the belief that “no one is really pro-abortion.”

Meet Carrie, who was deceived into thinking abortion would be a good solution for her unplanned pregnancy while a young student attending a Christian college in 1981. 

As a pastor’s kid, she learned that keeping certain secrets secret (so as to avoid public humiliation) can emotionally force you to do the unthinkable and live a life of regret.

I want everyone who participates in the March For Life to take photos of the pro-unborn banners carried by the contingents from the National Catholic Reporter… from the LCWR [Leadership Conference of Women Religious]… from the Catholic Health Association… from the Nuns on the Bus.

~ Father John Zuhlsdorf, encouraging participants of the upcoming March for Life to capture on film any banners displayed by groups who have staunchly supported President Obama’s agenda and would dare to claim to be pro-life, January 11

Creative Minority Report suggests banner slogans for Sr. Keehan:

10) We stand for life…sometimes.
9) Roe v. Wade must be overturned…right after we help get Obama elected, ensure the passage of Obamacare, and help push for gun control.
8) Pro-lifers for Obamacare, the biggest expansion of abortion in our nation’s history.
7) Oh wait, we thought this was the Nuns on the Bus.
6) No abortion except in cases of rape, incest, and health of a Democrat.
5) Carol Keehan is the Lennay Kekua of pro-lifers.
4) Pro-lifers for the party of death!
3) We won’t defend the indefensible! We’ll just ignore it!
2) Has anyone seen the Democrats for Life?
1) I wrote this sign with the pen Obama gave me!!!

UPDATE 10p: I couldn’t put this any better than did Vanessa on Facebook:

Hey BIEBER Fans!!!! Great recommendation from a woman who knows what it is to be a young pregnant single parent. It goes to show that you cant do away with a life that will change your world and can potentially change many worlds. Thank you Pattie Mallette.

Indeed! Thank you, Pattie. Here’s Pattie’s special message to pregnancy care center directors, a fundraising promo for a screening of Crescendo…

[youtube]http://youtu.be/8kF_zlvzYuQ[/youtube]

5:49p: I wrote earlier this week that the inspirational short film, Crescendo, would have a VVIP (very, very important person) take a lead in promoting the film.

Movie To Movement has just announced that person is Pattie Mallette, singer Justin Bieber’s mother.

Mallette has agreed to take on the role of executive producer of Crescendo.

In that capacity Mallette will promote Crescendo in Movie To Movement’s initiative to raise $10 million for pregnancy care centers  this year by hosting 1,000 screenings across the globe. (The initial goal I reported of $1 mil via 100 screenings is for opening night, February 28.)

Mallette has videotaped a message to be shown at prc screenings.

Very shortly MTM will release a teaser video, which I will put up post haste.

From the press statement:

“My hope through this involvement is to encourage young women all over the world, just like me, to let them know that there is a place to go, people who will take care of you and a safe home to live in if you are pregnant and think you have nowhere else to turn,” says Mallette.

Mallette, also known as Justin Bieber’s mom, has been vocal about the trauma, abuse and addiction that marked her early childhood and adult years. In her debut memoir Nowhere But Up (Revell), she tells the amazing story of the help she received from a pregnancy center, when she found herself scared and unprepared as a young teenager, while pregnant with Justin.  The pregnancy center who cared for her gave her life skills, hope, help and love, which she says literally “saved their lives.”  Mallette will share her personal story at screenings worldwide, to help support the work of similar centers around the world.

Beginning February 28, Movie to Movement will launch the initiative to raise $10 million for pregnancy centers nationwide by hosting 1,000 screenings across the globe. Nearly 100 pregnancy centers have currently made the pledge to support the film opening weekend.  Key markets screening the film include Dallas, Texas, Los Angeles, Calif., St. Louis, Mo., Chicago, Ill., and Columbus, Ohio.   The film is also slated to be screened in Ireland and across Europe for thousands of attendees.

(Poll at bottom of post)

Last year the pro-life group Created Equal debuted its jumbotron showing the reality of abortion at the March for Life in Washington, D.C.  Here is some of the poignant reaction of pro-life marchers…

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVwYxOr7U-E&feature=share&list=PL0497077824B6A955[/youtube]

As Created Equal noted, “If the victims are not represented at their own march, where will they be represented?”

This year CE has again reserved space along the March for Life route for its jumbrotron.

In addition, CE’s jumbotron will make an appearance in San Francisco on January 26 at the Walk for Life West Coast.

There has been some fallout. This year a March for Life VIP attempted to talk CE out of bringing the jumbotron back, expressing concern for children and finally asking CE to have “specially trained psychiatrists on hand to deal with the emotional stress of the marchers” (the same position taken against pro-life activists by a pro-abortion church).

After the March last year, CE received several letters thanking the group for showing the reality of abortion. One letter CE received to the contrary is noteworthy:

I am very disappointed that you will be showing such a graphic film at the March for Life. We are trying to build a tradition of Marching for Life in our church and were starting with a small group of 16. Your display is mis-placed.  –T. D.

CE’s president, Mark Harrington, pointedly responded:

We don’t want to return to Washington, D.C. next year.  We don’t want children to die so we can “build a tradition” of going to the March for Life.  Maybe some remedial education is in order as to the reason we march.  We march to end the marching.

Here is the tragic but true 2:22 minute video CE will be looping throughout the March and Walk on its jumbotron:

It gets redundant pointing out President Obama’s hypocrisy when it comes to his concern for children.

Yesterday, in the wake of the Newtown massacre, Obama used four children as props to sign 23 executive orders to theoretically curb gun violence….

In signing his EOs Obama stated:

This is our first task as a society, keeping our children safe.  This is how we will be judged…. [W]hen it comes to protecting the most vulnerable among us, we must act now . . . .

Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association is being criticized for a new ad pointing out the hypocrisy of Obama and Washington elitists when it comes to protecting their own children as opposed to ours…

[youtube]http://youtu.be/zKLA3BODXr0[/youtube]

Recall Obama also used a boy as a prop when he signed Obamacare into law….

Obama has even used his daughters’ future sexual habits, along with his future theoretically aborted grandchildren, to promote comprehensive sex ed, saying in 2008…

I’ve got two daughters, 9 years old and 6 years old.  I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.  I don’t want them punished with an STD at the age of 16.

… and to promote government funding of Planned Parenthood in 2012…

Mr. Romney wants to get rid of funding for Planned Parenthood. I think that’s a bad idea. I’ve got two daughters. I want them to control their own health care choices. We’re not going backwards, we’re going forwards.

Beyond creepy, that’s perverse.

Of course, everyone in the pro-life movement knows this is the same man who supports suctioning the brains out of half-delivered children and crushing their skulls during partial-birth abortions.

In fact, Obama supports all late-term abortions. In fact, Obama supports everything about every abortion and opposes anything about any attempt to curb it.

And should a baby survive one of those late-term abortions, Obama supports killing her, too, as Allan Favish detailed in The American Thinker, and as I well know.

Favish poignantly pointed out:

The babies who were left to die after surviving abortions, for whom Obama worked to deny protection, are in heaven along with the children who were murdered in Newtown.

The babies may be wondering why Obama’s words at the Newtown prayer vigil and today in the District of Columbia do not apply to them.

At the prayer vigil, Obama read the names of the murdered Newtown children.  I don’t know how many of the babies who survived abortions and were left to die were given names.  I don’t know if Obama would care.

Obama only cares for children insofar as he can exploit them for political gain. If protecting them helps, fine. And if killing them helps, fine.

Written and directed by David Altrogge, the documentary film 3801 Lancaster is “about Kermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia Women’s Medical Society disaster and the cover-up by state and local oversight agencies,” according to the film’s Facebook page. The film went live on January 14. It is the first in a series.

This hard-hitting, 20-minute video is extremely well done and worth watching, though the material is disturbing:
