Trust women? Too bad the pro-aborts don’t mean it

“Trust Women” That was the admonishment of the deceased late-term abortionist, Dr. George Tiller. It’s also the admonishment of the rest of the pro-choice crowd. Too bad they really don’t mean it. Trust women. Pregnancy resource centers are filled with women who are being coerced to abort their babies, who are desperate for someone, anyone to throw them a lifeline. They’re the lucky ones who find the help and hope. The women entering abortion clinics are not so fortunate. I listened to quite a few of them at the Supreme Court steps this past Monday. Most spoke of coercion from […]

So many of you were there and were able to tell me of your daily prayers for me and of the concern you have for me. You were encouraged by seeing that I am in great health and great spirits. […]

She informed me that she was the “angry nun” captured by the Washington Post’s photographer and highlighted so prominently in the paper’s photo gallery of the March for Life.

Planned parenthood director laments: ‘The sky is falling on Roe v. Wade’

Right now there is an incredible sense of momentum in the pro-life movement. You can feel it whenever you go to any pro-life event, like the March for life, or talk to any pro-life leader who knows what’s going on. And it’s not just pro-lifers that are feeling it. Pro-aborts know that their precious “right” to kill their unborn children is under unprecedented threat.

Some Christian believers are starting to acknowledge that one of the most powerful tools in the pro-life arsenal is the young married couple who is open to life. How is a life-affirming Christian marriage the most powerful weapon that pro-lifers possess? Dr. Allan Carlson, who has just written a new book titled Godly Seed: American Evangelicals Confront Birth Control, 1873-1973, believes that “faithful Christian communities produce an abundance of children, and in doing so, they change this world.” He has predicted that if Christian […]

Planned Parenthood official: medical science is ‘irrelevant’ to question of when fetus is human

In a recent article that has to be read to be believed, Shannon Dea, co-president of Planned Parenthood Waterloo Region, responds to a call by a Canadian member of parliament to have a debate on the humanity of the unborn child, saying: “Medical science is irrelevant to the question of when a fetus becomes a human being — that matter is a legal and philosophical one, not a medical one.” Dea might as well have said that medical science is irrelevant to the question of whether or not a pig is a pig, or an elephant is an elephant, or […]

Australian and Danish Governments Providing Prostitutes for the Disabled

Australian and Danish Governments Providing Prostitutes for the Disabled by LifeSiteNews.com HOBART, September 30, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – According to an apparently unembarrassed official of the Department of Health and Human Services in the Australian state of Tasmania, guidelines have been established that allow care givers to organise visits for disabled clients to Hobart’s local brothels.
