Flipping channels several weeks ago, I stumbled on a deeply disturbing Style channel special, “Sperm donor: 74 kids and more on the way.”

It told the story of 33-yr-old Ben Seisler, pictured right, whose sperm donations (why do they call them that? he made $150 per deposit) to date have spawned over 70 children – half-siblings unknown to each other and spread all around the country and perhaps the world.

Here is a clip from the program. It shows Ben essentially bragging about his virility to his best friend…

I reported November 7 that Michigan Attorney General Bill Shuette had filed a lawsuit to permanently shut down to Michigan late-term abortion clinics and also to bar their owners from ever opening another medical clinic in the state.

After signing a restraining order to temporarily close them on November 8, Eaton County Circuit Court Judge Calvin Oosterhaven today signed a final judgment to officially dissolve Health Care Clinic in Delta Township and the affiliated Women’s Choice Clinic in Saginaw. The two abortion mills are closed for good.

Is there anything that you would wait in line 11 days before Black Friday?  These goofy shoppers in St. Pete started waiting since Monday, November 14th, for hugely discounted items at Best Buy.

And if you’re not that radical, have you ever stayed in line overnight (or a couple of nights) to wait for big savings?

Makes shopping at midnight on Black Friday no biggie. ;)

In India, there’s still a huge preference for sons. That’s why sex determination is banned. Despite the ban, there are fewer little girls here than boys and the numbers keep getting bleaker.

It’s tempting to think the buzz around one little girl will change this.

In a Bollywood film, it might have. But the real world has its own script.

The prayer of pro-lifers….

I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me to do.

I’ve been in conversation with a pro-lifer who shot much of the footage for this newly posted graphic abortion video.

The person did not tell me how s/he got access, or where the abortions were filmed, because to do so would risk losing access.

But s/he did believe that while the babies being filmed or photographed died,  countless other babies were being saved by exposing the truth of abortion. This is true.

It is also true that the stress is very great on this dear pro-lifer.

“It kills me everytime I have to take photos,” the pro-lifer wrote. “When I am in that room I want to go ballistic on that abortionist. The only thing that stops me is knowing that in the end, many lives will be saved. But it takes a lot out of me.”

This weekend’s question: What are your thoughts on the morality of pro-lifers videotaping or photographing abortions?

BTW, I’ve played and replayed the footage from 1:08-1:12 and am certain that aborted baby moved; he survived his abortion. My friend did not shoot that particular footage but thinks so, too.
