• At Catholic Herald, Barbara Curtis recalls her own story of transformation from a pro-abortion feminist (viewing her “right to choose” as “a sacrament”) to a pro-life mother of 12. Regarding feminism, she writes:

  Perhaps it’s time to wake up and slap some cold water on your faces. It’s time to stop the hypocrisy, to sever the ideals of feminism — dignity for women, equal status, equal opportunity, equal pay — from what has become a religious and one-dimensional devotion to death.

  From Barbara’s MommyLife blog also comes this funny graphic on co-sleeping:

This is the final abortion video featured this week, as we remember the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and Sanctity of Human Life Sunday.

Eclipse of Reason, produced 25 years ago in 1987 by the late Dr. Bernard Nathanson, is a gruesome video that features a preborn baby boy being killed via dilation and evacuation (D&E).  His dismembered parts are pulled out of the woman (bloody female vaginal nudity shown), and the baby parts are laid out for viewing to ensure nothing is left behind which could cause infection.

I have watched this video dozens of times over the past 15 years and cry my heart out for this poor little boy.

D&E procedures are not as popular as they used to be.  Jill has commented that the preferred method of late-term abortion nowadays is the induced labor abortion procedure, a two or three day process that involves dilating the cervix to deliver the preterm baby. The baby is either killed beforehand by lethal injection or anticipated to die during or shortly after birth.

WARNING: graphic.

Everything about the unborn says “This is what I’m striving for… life outside of my mom.” The fact that he cannot trust his own mother to protect him is monstrous.

You give me one instance of a human being with human skin, dna, a heart, and a mind where we can kill them because “it’s what we want.”

• It’s hard to keep a straight face reading this from Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards:

  In fact, the Tebow story exemplifies the health care environment that Planned Parenthood promotes….

• Scott Klusendorf recently had a piece entitled, “The 2012 Elections: Five Questions for Pro-Life Advocates,” published in the Christian Research Journal.

I spoke at two pro-life events over the weekend and both times had shocked people approach me afterward to say they had voted for Barack Obama in 2008 having no idea he supported abortion, never mind infanticide.

It certainly wasn’t for our lack of trying that the masses remained ignorant about Obama’s radical abortion advocacy, which he has taken to the point of blocking a bill to protect abortion survivors. The fusion of Obama mania and mainstream media cover-up kept them in the dark.

But three years later the masses have become skeptical of Obama, giving pro-lifers a second chance to expose him.

Named spokesperson of the Terri Schiavo Life and Hope Network only four months ago, country music star Collin Raye is diving right in to pro-life activism.

Raye is scheduled to perform at five pro-life events in Washington, D.C., leading up to and during the March for Life.

Raye will perform for over 2,000 college students at the annual and sold out Students for Life of America Conference on January 22.

Later that evening Raye will perform at a fundraising event for the Paul Stefan Foundation, which provides maternity homes for pregnant women in the mid-Atlantic region.

On January 23 Raye will speak in the morning at the Concerned Women for America “Celebrate Life. Embrace Grace” event and Family Research Council’s ProLifeCon. Collin will end his day by singing at the National Prolife Youth Rally.

Raye’s inspiration for involvement in pro-life work comes from his granddaughter Haley Marie Bell, who tragically died at age 10 in 2010 after suffering a lifelong terminal illness.  Raye dedicated the tender song, “She’s With Me,” to Haley…
