This is a repeat from the last two years – a three-peat!  

Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Jesus! <3

My Favourite Time of Year is a traditional style Christmas song which was written by Leigh Haggerwood. After three years of trying to persuade the record companies to back the project, he decided to do it himself. He gathered together 36 musicians which he collectively called The Florin Street Band and recorded the song at Trevor Horn’s studios in London.

Politicians often come to [Catholics for Choice] when they are being pressured by their local bishop. They want to know if they’re getting the full story in the one supplied by the institutional church. As can be seen in the movie, the answer is a resounding “No.”

The “secret” is that there is more than one magisterium — in addition to the hierarchy, there is also the magisterium of the theologians and that of the people. This means that any of us can be called to teach, and for many this can mean doing what the theologians and thinkers in the film — Rosemary Radford Ruether, Dan Maguire, Mary Hunt, Anthony Padovano, Sheila Briggs, Daniel Dombrowski and Kate Ott — have done: bravely speak out.

This is a new take by Michelle Moyer on what is arguably the most beloved Christmas carol. The video is by Glenn Beck’s TheBlaze:

• Wesley J. Smith reviews his predictions for 2012. The good – and bad – news is that he was quite accurate. Watch for his 2013 predictions in January.
• Stand True announces the schedule for the 2013 March for Life Youth Rally in Washington, D.C. Make your plans now to attend!

• Reflections of a Paralytic encourages readers to check out a new German documentary on reproductive technologies, featuring Eggsploitation creator Jennifer Lahl (pictured left) of the Center for Bioethics and Culture. RP states:
  

  This issue should get just as much attention from the pro-life movement as abortion, if not more so. As a commenter on my previous post noted, lots of Christians don’t even question its morality. Meanwhile, the fertility industry is getting increasingly out of control and thousands upon thousands of innocent human beings are paying the ultimate price.

• Voice for Hope shares some great pro-life graphics to post on Facebook and other social media.
• ProWomanProLife finds some heartwarming stories that will restore your faith in humanity.
• Americans United for Life applauds the victories of two Christian colleges in their legal challenge against Obamacare’s birth control mandate:
  

  The case in question is the first of more than 40 legal challenges to the so-called HHS mandate to be argued before an appellate court. In an amicus curiae brief submitted in support of the Colleges’ challenge to the mandate, AUL outlined the life-ending action of so-called “emergency contraception” and argued that the mandate violates the Colleges’ sincerely held beliefs and Freedom of Conscience.

• Pro-Life Action League has a great post about their recent Converted conference, featuring testimonies of former abortion industry workers. Self-described “pro-choice Christian” blogger Kellee Terrell (pictured right) attended the conference and wrote about it mockingly, even while expressing concern about the new strategy of reaching out to abortion industry workers. PLAL writes:
  

  Perhaps Terrell found it difficult to debunk our speakers in detail because, despite herself, she found their stories compelling. She even admits, “Although many of the stories were flatly ludicrous, the power of the conversion narrative, dating back as it does to the [Norma McCorvey] ‘Roe’ conversion, is undeniable.”

• ProLife NZ points out the inconsistent logic of a pro-choice blogger who states, “Women are in the workforce. Women get pregnant. Companies simply have to find a way to cope.” Imagine the blogger’s reaction if pro-lifers were to reply, “Women have sex. Sex makes babies. Women simply have to find a way to cope.” PLNZ notes:
  

  Isn’t it funny how, with one magic wave of the ideological wand, the very same feminists who think that women shouldn’t be forced to accept babies they never consented to, actually start demanding that employers (many of whom are women) should be forced to accept babies that they never consented to.

I knew next to nothing about actress Megan Fox before this interview.

“She’s a ditz!” I thought at first. But halfway through, I realized Megan has a great sense of humor.

I’m sure Megan is a very interesting mommy, and I’m a new fan.

We taped the next episode of Life Talk yesterday, and one of the guests was former Saturday Night Live star Victoria Jackson.

Jackson is now an outspoken conservative.

Jackson described how liberals have been attacking her the past several days for this Facebook post (click to enlarge):

Of course, Jackson made perfect sense.

The Sandy Hook massacre was horrendous, but the fact remains President Obama would have condoned the prenatal and post-birth murder of each and every one of them had the killer been an abortionist.

Obama would even have condoned torturing them in the process, since he opposes anesthetizing babies at the very least as they literally were torn limb from limb.

But here’s a sampling of the insults this brave woman is enduring for speaking truth, from Perez Hilton, who is illogical to boot:

Victoria Jackson, you continue to surprise and disgust us with your incredible ignorance and complete lack of respect….

We feel deeply sorry for Mz. Jackson.

We can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like to constantly carry around such anger and hatred.

Hopefully Victoria will one day find peace, and not feel the need to spew such negativity toward her fellow human beings.

Seriously? People who oppose killing preborn children are “spewing negativity” when they call out those who support it?

Jackson followed up her Facebook post with a blog post four days later, and it included the video of me describing live birth abortion to Bill O’Reilly. I didn’t know about the post, and she didn’t know I was on Life Talk when she came on the show yesterday. We shared a warm moment of comradery.

Jackson took an even braver step forward when at the bottom of that piece she posted a photo of an abortion victim. The other side hates it when we do that. They can’t look “choice” in the face.

Abortion; death of the most innocent. A total of 827,609 abortions were reported to CDC for 2007. In 2008, approximately 1.21 million abortions took place in the U.S.

Tell you what. The Left gives up Roe v. Wade, renounces it and never again goes near the question of abortion and I will afterwards agree to a “national conversation” about the 2nd Amendment and what it really meant to the Framers. They go first. That will signal their sincerity. Absolute constitutional rejection and elimination of abortion.
