Judge says 'Choose Life' plates invalid unless "Choose Death' plates issued


Judge finds NC 'Choose Life' plates unconstitutionalRALEIGH, N.C. – A federal judge has ruled it is unconstitutional for North Carolina to issue pro-life license plates unless the state offers similar plates supporting abortion rights.
U.S. District Court Judge James C. Fox ruled on Friday that North Carolina cannot produce or distribute the “Choose Life” plate.
Judge Fox concluded, “The State’s offering of a Choose Life license plate in the absence of a pro-choice plate constitutes viewpoint discrimination in violation of the First Amendment.”

Group Plans Christmas Party To Promote Abortion

Western Center for Journalism - As Christians around the world take time to remember the miraculous birth of Jesus, a Washington, D.C., group will be raising money at its Christmas party to help make any birth a miracle.
The D.C. Abortion Fund doesn’t hide its cause. If not apparent enough from its name, the group’s website explains it “makes grants to women … who cannot afford the full cost of an abortion,” noting its volunteer staff members “hope to make ‘choice’ a reality because [they] believe that a woman’s right to healthcare should not depend on her wallet.”
Representing the only D.C.-based organization dedicated solely to paying for abortions, the D.C. Abortion Fund is calling its “Peace, Joy and Choice Winter Holiday Party” the “hottest party of the holiday season.”
Not only does the cost of admission add cash to its war chest, the group states “5% of all drink orders go to support our work (in case you needed another reason to toss a few back) … so bottoms up for choice!”
To be fair, this is certainly not the first time an abortion group has hijacked a holiday for its own gain. The D.C. Abortion Fund is obviously just following in the footsteps of Planned Parenthood – a heavyweight among the baby murder crowd.
The group infamously offered Black Friday discounts and, most insensitively, those who make money by preventing motherhood organized fundraisers specifically for Mother’s Day!
Still, a one-issue group like the D.C. Abortion Fund piggybacking on the spirit of giving associated with Christmas is particularly offensive.
Even a secular view of Christ’s birth must concede the impact one life can have. We will never know the contribution millions of Americans might have made were their lives not prematurely snuffed out by these defenders of “choice.”

VICTORY UNDERSCORES VALUE OF LIFE IN THE WOMB OF HANDICAPPED WOMAN


Good news for citizens of Nevada, this Christmas season: compassion is still lawful in your state, and life is still protected, thanks to a decision that has broad implications for you and your religious liberty, for the sanctity of life, and for families nationwide.
Some two decades ago, William and Amy Bauer of Fernley adopted six children from Costa Rica. All of the children were siblings, and all suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome. As a result of that affliction, the second-oldest, Elisa, now 32, is mentally challenged, and has other physical challenges. Because of these issues, she lives in a group home as a ward of the state, although the Bauers remain her legal, loving guardians.
It’s been a rough few months for the Bauers. William is the rector of St. Columba’s Church, which recently burned down in an arson-caused fire. About the same time, the Bauers learned that Elisa had become pregnant.
She decided with her parents to give birth to the baby, and arranged for a private adoption. Six qualified couples expressed a strong interest in the child. But that beautiful opportunity to turn something sad into something good was quickly challenged by one of Elisa’s physicians, who decided that – because Elisa is mentally handicapped – the baby should be aborted. When Elisa and her parents refused to agree to that, he alerted local social services, who took them to court.

Abortion 'triples breast cancer risk': Fourth study finds terminations linked to disease


The study showed having an abortion could triple the risk of breast cancer, however it was a small sample of 300 womenAn abortion can triple a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer in later life, researchers say.
A team of scientists made the claim while carrying out research into how breastfeeding can protect women from developing the killer disease.

While concluding that breastfeeding offered significant protection from cancer, they also noted that the highest reported risk factor in developing the disease was abortion.

Other factors included the onset of the menopause and smoking.

The findings, published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, are the latest research to show a link between abortion and breast cancer.

The research was carried out by scientists at the University of Colombo in Sri Lanka.

It is the fourth epidemiological study to report such a link in the past 14 months, with research in China, Turkey and the U.S. showing similar conclusions.

STUNNER!!! Dublin Declaration: Abortion has no place in treating unborn children and their mothers


Dublin – A major medical symposium in Ireland this week concluded that abortion is not medically necessary to save the life of a pregnant mother.
About 140 Irish medical professionals participated in the International Symposium on Excellence in Maternal Healthcare. The symposium featured a panel of world-renowned experts in the fields of mental health, obstetrics and gynecology, and molecular epidemiology who presented their cutting-edge research and data gathered over years of clinical experience.
The symposium expert committee released its conclusions in the Dublin Declaration on Maternal Healthcarewhich states:
  • “As experienced practitioners and researchers in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, we affirm that direct abortion is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman.
  • We uphold that there is a fundamental difference between abortion, and necessary medical treatments that are carried out to save the life of the mother, even if such treatment results in the loss of life of her unborn child.
  • We confirm that the prohibition of abortion does not affect, in any way, the availability of optimal care to pregnant women.”
The symposium particularly addressed issues of maternal mortality and morbidity, care for women with high-risk pregnancies, mental health, cancer in pregnancy, and fetal anomaly. Expert presentations addressed new therapies which involve the safe delivery of chemotherapy during pregnancy and the emerging field of in-utero fetal surgery.
Because abortion is currently the subject of public debate in Ireland, abortion proponents have been quick to confuse legitimate medical treatment with abortion. Professor Eamon O’Dwyer, chairman of the Committee for Excellence in Maternal Healthcare, believes that the Dublin Symposium clears up misinformation and provides “clarity and confirmation” to doctors and legislators.
“Irish Obstetricians and Gynaecologists have previously pointed out that treatment for conditions such as ectopic pregnancy are not considered abortion by doctors, yet misinformation in regard to this abounds in public debate. The Symposium clarifies that direct abortion is never medically necessary to save the life of a woman, and that’s good news for mothers and their babies,” said Professor O’Dwyer.
International experts at the symposium applauded Ireland’s impressive track record on maternal health care. According to UNICEF, the nation consistently boasts one of the lowest maternal mortality rates in the world (#1 in 2005, #3 in 2008).
Dr. Seán Ó Domhnaill, medical adviser to the Life Institute, hailed the global import of the symposium’s findings: “This is a globally significant outcome, which shows abortion has no place in treating women and their unborn children.”

911 ADMONISHES PLANNED PARENTHOOD


120724abortiongriefzA Planned Parenthood abortion business where a woman died after apparently being left, bleeding, for five hours or more had been told on a separate issue to call 911 for help in an emergency the same day Tonya Reaves died, according to a new report.

The result is a renewed call for an criminal investigation of Reaves’ death, according to officials with Operation Rescue.


The organization’s officials said they obtained a copy of a telephone call placed at 12:43 p.m. on July 20 from the Loop Health Center Planned Parenthood in Chicago regarding a fracas that developed with a mother and daughter who were at the abortion business.

That situation was unrelated to that of Reaves, who had her fatal abortion at about 11 a.m. at that location on that day, Operation Rescue said.

But the 911 dispatcher in the call is heard admonishing the Planned Parenthood worker for calling 311, a number used primarily to provide information regarding city events and programs, during an emergency.

The mother-and-daughter issue developed when a 16-year-old patient was “physically assaulted” by her mother, and Operation Rescue said the caller indicated abortion business staff members pulled the two apart after they saw the mother kick and hair-pull her daughter.

Part of the conversation, which can be heard at the Operation Rescue website, is as followed:

Spain angers feminists with plan to tighten abortion law

Spain's conservative government has provoked a storm among women's groups with plans to tighten abortion laws to make the procedure illegal in cases where the foetus is deformed.
About 100 people took part in a rally in Madrid's central Tirso de Molina square on Sunday to protest against the proposed reform which they argue will take Spain back to the era of the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco.
The crowd, mostly women, chanted "We give birth, we decide" and "Not one step backwards".
Women with slogans written on their bodies reading "Yes to life, but I choose" and "Priests and judges out of my body" take part in a protest against a reform of the country's abortion law recently proposed by the Spanish conservative government, at Tirso de Molina Square in Madrid. (AFP Photo/Dani Pozo)"It seems to us to be a throwback to the Franco dictatorship and we are not willing to accept under any circumstances measures that will take away our rights," said Justa Montero, member of the Feminist Assembly, one of the women's groups that organised the protest.
The government announced Friday it would alter an abortion law introduced by its Socialist predecessors in 2010 which gave women the legal right to abortion on demand for up to 14 weeks of pregnancy.

This Week in Pro-life News

Chiara Corbella of Italy decided to forego cancer treatment to save her third child, and (obviously) refused an abortion. She and her husband had already lost two children to birth defects. This child, born May 30, 2011, is perfectly healthy. His mother passed on June 13, 2012.
Planned Parenthood Mid and South Michigan gave up on lawsuits meant to keep the clinic from opening in Auburn Hills and are putting the multi-million-dollar building up for sale- at a loss.
The Christian alternative to the Girl Scouts, The American Heritage Girls, is up and running, to counter the feminist leanings of the Scouts, which has ties to Planned Parenthood and encourages unhealthy sexual behavior and normalizes abortion.

Breaking! Obama DOES Support Chinese-style Forced Abortions!

By Heather Mathews for PPSIMMONS


The last time I wrote it was regarding women being dragged, beaten, and forced to have abortions by Chinese “Family Planning Officials”.  I mentioned Obama’s soft spot for Planned Parenthood and communism.  I asked how long it would be before he brought it here.  Now, we are one step closer to seeing Chinese-style “family planning” right here in the good ol’ USA.

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) supports China’s one-child policy and has since day one.  It provides millions of dollars to the bureaucrats who implemented and enforce that policy through coercion, threats, extortion, kidnapping, and murder.  Sounds more like the Mafia to me.  Or Chicago politics.  The Obama Administration (led by one of those Chicago gangsters) is happily funding the UNFPA to the tune of FIFTY. MILLION. DOLLARS.

The UNFPA denied that forced abortions were taking place, and then claimed it was taking care of the problem with its “soothing presence.”  When it became public knowledge in 1994, they claimed to abandon the one-child policy.  In 1998, it was back and the UNFPA said that they would not be using coercive tactics.  In 2002, the UNFPA was discovered by the U.S. State Department and the Population Research Institute to be providing backup support for the one-child-policy and sharing offices with officials who were carrying it out.  U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell stated, “UNFPA’s support of, and involvement in, China’s population-planning activities allows the Chinese government to implement more effectively its program of coercive abortion.”  UNFPA’s own website confirms that the organization is carrying out joint “family planning” programs with Chinese officials.

In Changsha City, the still-pregnant woman referenced in my previous post is still under guard at a hospital by between ten and twenty officials who are attempting to persuade her to abort her baby.  This follows earlier reports that another woman was forcibly aborted at seven months.  Even the Chinese public is outraged and demanding justice.

There are a number of people on internet forums discussing whether we should be sending money to these thugs to pay off this woman’s “fines” for her “illegal baby,” or staying out of foreign policy as it is “none of our business.”  I don’t think paying these brutes will prevent them from just raising the fine even higher so they can continue to bully her until she finally gives in just to make it stop.  This is only one woman among countless others who may be in the same predicament.  It is a noble idea, but ineffective in the long run, as officials may decide to raise everyone’s fines and publicize cases (true or not) to earn a quick buck.  

I also take issue with the concept of staying out of foreign policy as it is the whole point of the UN (not that I agree with their very existence.)  Nearly every government makes a point of getting involved, with the White House taking the lead.  There are numerous partisan “think-tanks” making foreign policy their sole mission.  The problem lies in the election and appointment of decision-makers and policy-shapers who either don’t know or don’t care about issues around the world that may eventually impact us negatively, and other leaders who are championing such heavy-handed tactics to force an evil worldview and corrupt practices on a blind, deaf, and dumb constituency.
Think long and hard about whom you are voting for in November and what they really have to say about the issues they believe in and policies they will enact, especially those that may contribute to the poor prognosis of American Christianity.

Women dragged, beaten, and forced to have abortions by Chinese “Family Planning Officials”


Is THIS what we have to look forward to?!?

By Heather Mathews for PPSIMMONS                                         June 12, 2012


On June 3rd, a woman in China, seven months pregnant, was beaten and dragged into a vehicle by a group of “Family Planning Officials” while her husband was at work.  Her crime was not paying RMB 40,000 (US $6,279) in fines for being pregnant when she already has had at least one child.1

Another woman is currently in danger of a forced abortion unless she pays the officials US $25,000 on top of the US $1500 she already paid.2

With Planned Parenthood being caught red-handed aiding women (actually undercover agents for Live Action) who requested information on obtaining sex-selective abortions3, Obama declaring that pregnancy is punishment4, and the aggressive nature of pro-choice activists5,6,7,8 who are demanding the right to “healthcare” (irony considering it is designed to end life and not preserve it,) the widespread use of such tactics by one of the fastest-growing economies and the largest holder of U.S. debt (they effectively own us) is nothing short of frightening.  As we know, China is a communist state.  Obama has considerable ties to communism.9 He has made his contempt of us well known, and he has a habit of singing the praises of Planned Parenthood.10 He seems to thoroughly enjoy bypassing Congress and writing Executive Orders11 that have no redeeming qualities (much like the person writing them.)  How long before he decides to bring Chinese-style “family planning” here?

Canada Off the Deep-End, America is Next


By Heather Mathews for PPSIMMONS

In a report by Reuters dated Friday June 8, 2012, it is announced that a 63-year-old grandmother will go to court and may be treated as a criminal for protesting- peacefully- outside a Toronto abortion clinic.

Linda Gibbons, who had an abortion in 1970 before realizing it was wrong, has spent 10 out of the last 18 years in jail for protesting outside multiple Toronto clinics in defiance of what was supposed to be a temporary injunction in 1994.  The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that the current case pending against her (Linda Dale Gibbons v. Her Majesty the Queen, #33813,) stemming from an arrest outside the Scott abortion clinic in 2008, can go on.  Ms. Gibbons argues that the police are “abusing the process” for continuing to use an 18-year-old temporary restraining order.  She is currently in prison for yet another “bubble-zone” violation.

Canada has no abortion law, and Prime Minister Stephen Harper (a conservative if you can believe it) is refusing to reopen the issue.

Maria Corsillo, the manager of the Scott clinic, erroneously refers to abortion as “health care.”  It is certainly not “care” for the unborn children being mutilated and sucked out of what is supposed to be the safest place on Earth and the only home they have ever known.  These babies are already practicing breathing within the amniotic fluid cushioning them.  Physicians already perform life-saving surgeries on babies in the womb to correct neural-tube defects, obstructions, hernias, and several other conditions.  These surgeries are performed at fetal gestations during which many women consider and obtain abortions.  So, who is defining whether or not these babies are living yet?

Psalm 139 (NIV)
13 For you created my inmost being; 
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful, 
    I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.

Isaiah 49 (NIV)
1Listen to me, you islands; 
    hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born the LORD called me;
    from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name...
5 And now the LORD says—
    he who formed me in the womb to be his servant…

Live Action Continues to Uncover Sex-Selective Abortions


By Heather Mathews for PPSIMMONS      

I previously wrote about an undercover investigation of sex-selective abortion in Texas.  Now, Live Action has released another video that revealed two clinics in Arizona aiding women to obtain such “services,” although sex-selective abortion is a felony in Arizona.

At Camelback Family Planning in Phoenix and Tucson Women's Center in Tucson, abortion workers facilitated the cover-up after hearing the woman specifically request a sex-selective abortion.

The woman tells a counselor named Barb at the Camelback clinic that she already has a girl and wants to try for a boy.  Barb advises, “Don’t tell us that, because we don’t want to know.” Referring to the clinic’s abortion doctor, Gabrielle Goodrick, Barb said, “You can tell her, she’s gonna tell you the same thing, just: Don’t let it be down! She’s really good about that. You’ll like that about her.”1

Surgical assistant Francisco, at the Tucson clinic, tells the woman, “We could lose our license,” but then said “I’ll just forget about it…but just be sure not to mention it” to the abortion doctor.2

Live Action has sent the full footage from the Arizona clinics to the state Attorney General, Tom Horne, and to local law enforcement.3

Live Action president Lila Rose urges: “Sex-selective abortion is a global search-and-destroy mission against little girls that is spreading at an alarming rate. While we wait for Congress to pass the Prenatal Non-Discrimination Act to ban sex-selective abortion in the U.S., state authorities should vigorously enforce Arizona’s law. The clinics supporting sex-selective abortion should be investigated, prosecuted, defunded, and delicensed immediately.”4

On May 31, Live Action released another video of a Planned Parenthood worker at the Margaret Sanger clinic in New York City advising a woman to have either an amniocentesis or a CVS test (chorionic villus sampling) to determine the sex earlier than a standard ultrasound.5

Obama and His Worshipers: “Partial Birth Abortion is an Exercise in Liberty”

By Heather Mathews for PPSIMMONS         



On Tuesday May 29, 2012, (P)Resident Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens.  The Presidential Medal of Freedom, as Obama put it, is “the highest civilian honor this country can bestow.”  What, exactly, did Justice Stevens do to warrant such a high honor?

He wrote a Supreme Court opinion arguing that a woman was exercising her right to "liberty" when she hired a doctor to kill her child through the procedure known as partial-birth abortion.1

"That holding--that the word 'liberty' in the Fourteenth Amendment includes a woman’s right to make this difficult and extremely personal decision--makes it impossible for me to understand how a State has any legitimate interest in requiring a doctor to follow any procedure other than the one that he or she reasonably believes will best protect the woman in her exercise of this constitutional liberty," Justice Stevens wrote in his concurring opinion in Stenberg v. Carhart.2, 3  He also joined in the dissent on the Gonzales v. Carhart case, which upheld the ban on partial-birth abortion.4, 5

The official citation for Steven’s Medal of Freedom lauds him for his commitment to “the noble vision of our nation’s founders.”6

Noble?  Committing, or aiding and abetting, murder is noble?  No matter which way you look at it, the taking of a human life is undoubtedly one of the most heinous crimes one can think of taking part in.  It is a horrible thing when that person is an adult, horrifying when it is a child: why, then, is it considered “just another day at the office” for the abortion doctor or the people charged with legislating who is worthy of life?  Should we not be even more enraged and disgusted that the slaughtered unborn did not get a chance to say, “hey, what about MY right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness?”  Does the fact that they are unable to physically speak for themselves relegate them to the land of the non-living?  What about the scores of botched abortions where the baby comes out screaming and crying, undoubtedly aware that something, or someone, was hurting them?  If the abortion advocates have seen one the many videos available on the internet of a partial-birth abortion, they would have nightmares for weeks- if they had a heart anyway.  Anyone who can watch that and still think, ‘eh, not worth saving, it’s not a living being anyway,’ must be the very embodiment of evil.  Obama celebrating evil with an award that the outside world would see as representative of the people of the United States is nothing short of inviting condemnation upon us all.

Liberals Support Sex-Selective Abortion (They Just Don’t Want to Admit It)

By Heather Mathews for PPSIMMONS         


 Last night, Jake Tapper of ABC News contacted White House Press Secretary Jay Carney for a statement on the current administration’s position regarding H.R. 3541, otherwise known as PRENDA (the Prenatal Non-Discrimination Act of 2012.)

Carney could not immediately provide a statement; however, deputy press secretary Jamie Smith responded in a later statement:

“The Administration opposes gender discrimination in all forms, but the end result of this legislation would be to subject doctors to criminal prosecution if they fail to determine the motivations behind a very personal and private decision. The government should not intrude in medical decisions or private family matters in this way.”1

What the administration fails to note- within Section 5 of the bill2:

RULE OF CONSTRUCTION- Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require that a healthcare provider has an affirmative duty to inquire as to the motivation for the abortion, absent the healthcare provider having knowledge or information that the abortion is being sought based on the sex or gender of the child.

Well, either way, the Obama administration is going to be a little ticked with the passage of this bill last night through the House Judiciary Committee by a vote of 20-133.  According to a press release issued by Arizona Congressman Trent Franks:

"The very bedrock foundational principle that gave birth to America was the conviction that all human beings are children of God and created equal in His sight. In 1847, Frederick Douglass said, 'Right is of no sex; truth is of no color, God is the Father of us all--and all are brethren.'

"I know when the subject is related in any way to abortion, the doors of reason and human compassion in our minds and hearts often close, and the humanity of the unborn can sometimes no longer be seen. But this is an issue upon which all Americans should be able to find agreement, regardless of our party affiliations or even our beliefs about abortion.

"Our innate sense of human fairness should make it abundantly clear that aborting a little baby because he or she happens to be black or because he or she has been arbitrarily deemed 'lesser' is fundamentally wrong, representing a betrayal of the precious truth that all men are created equal and are stamped with the Imago Dei on their souls.

"I am convinced this is the civil rights battle that will define our generation, and, by the grace of God, I look forward to this vital measure's consideration on the House floor and its ultimate passage."

The legislation outlaws abortions performed on the basis of the child's sex or race. It also outlaws the coercion of any woman to obtain either a sex- or race-based abortion.  A minority baby is currently five times more likely to be aborted than a white baby, and nearly half of all black babies' are aborted, with over 70 percent of abortion clinics being located in predominantly minority neighborhoods.4

Opponents, prior to the passage of the bill, were unamused by the attempt of pro-life supporters to bring PRENDA to the table.

“Somebody decided politically that it was a difficult place to put people in,” House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told reporters Wednesday afternoon. “It’s a political effort, not a substantive effort.”5

The lunacy of the left overwhelms me.

“The Republican majority continues its War on Women in a new and creative way: by attempting to couch legislation that would destroy women’s fundamental constitutional rights as a woman’s rights law. It is cynical, but creative,” Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said. “The preference for male children is a real, if limited, phenomenon in the United States. Some women face familial and community preference to have male children, and that pressure can increase with each subsequent birth. But this does nothing to help those women.”6

Blind Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng, who spoke out against forced abortions in his native China, captured international headlines this month and GOP aides said the leadership hoped to capitalize on the momentum of that awareness to ensure that sex-selection abortions are not legal in the U.S.7

“For most of us, Mr. Speaker, ‘It’s a girl’ is cause for enormous joy, happiness and celebration,” Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., said on the House floor. “But in many countries including our own, it could be a death sentence. Today the three-most dangerous words in China and India are, ‘It’s a girl.’ We can’t let that happen here.”8

As I’ve written previously9, this IS a concern here.  With the release of an undercover video by Live Action10, it is clear that organizations such as Planned Parenthood are at least prepared for women and their partners to ask about such things; we can see that the “workers of iniquity” employed there have no qualms about helping someone obtain a late-term abortion, as most ultrasounds cannot detect the sex of the baby until approximately four or five months into the pregnancy.

Psalm 106:35-40 (KJV)
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
