Why abortion is the opposite of love

Lent teaches us the meaning of love. Jesus endured His passion and crucifixion for each of us, giving Himself away that we might have life. Abortion, on the other hand, is the opposite of love, because it takes life. Love says, “I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person.” Abortion says, “I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself.” Strangely, the same words are used in both cases. Supporters of abortion say, “This is my body, I can do what I want.” Jesus says, “This is My Body, given up for you.” The same words are […]

New shocking Planned Parenthood video exposé released

On February 13 I wrote about a shocking video exposé produced by American Life League that used Planned Parenthood’s own graphics, websites, photos, and video to show its massive and perverted campaign to hook our kids – beginning in Kindergarten – on sex. As ALL narrator Michael Hichborn said about one of PP’s materials, “If a dirty old man showed this book to kids in a park, he’d be arrested.” But you and I unwillingly pay Planned Parenthood with our taxes to show them the same soft porn. No surprise, ALL’s video went viral. After only four days on YouTube […]

‘98% of Catholics contracept?’: Not true for hardcore Catholics

A group of faithful Catholic ladies who grew sick and tired of hearing ad nauseam the White House’s Cecilia Munoz’s tidbit that “98 percent of Catholic women have used contraception” decided to take the matter into their own hands and run their own poll. Catholic Sistas knew that the study quoted by the White House was conducted by the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization founded by Planned Parenthood.

Botched legal abortions are society’s fault?

So the botched abortion she described on her blog on February 11 was legal, although she was murky on that detail (clarified in a follow-up, wherein she also clarified this poor mother lived). Yet this near death was only partially the fault of the quack abortionist.

Mother of Tim Tebow Endorses Colorado Personhood Amendment

Mother of Tim Tebow Endorses Colorado Personhood Amendment by LifeSiteNews.com DENVER, October 19, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pam Tebow, whose story about her refusal to abort her football star son reached millions last year, has endorsed Colorado’s Personhood Amendment – the only pro-life issue on the ballot anywhere in the U.S. in 2010. “A child’s right to life begins at conception, not at birth. From conception, all children are people, made in the image and likeness of God. Thus, I support the Personhood amendment and appeal to Colorado voters to vote ‘yes’ on amendment 62,” stated Pam Tebow, mother of Tim […]

Craine MONTREAL, Quebec, November 10, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Montreal Catholic parish hosting a series for parents on instilling a normal and integrated sexual identity in their children has been intimidated into cancelling the remainder of the sessions following threats of protest from homosexualists.

Planned Parenthood’s scorched earth campaign against Komen

Bearing in mind my previous post, “Inside story on Komen split from Planned Parenthood,” read these excerpts from the February 1 New York Times piece, “Uproar as breast cancer group ends partnership with Planned Parenthood”: When the nation’s largest breast cancer advocacy organization considered in October cutting off most of its financial support to the nation’s largest abortion provider, the breast cancer group was hoping for a quiet end to an increasingly controversial partnership. Instead, the organization, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation, is now engulfed in a controversy that threatens to undermine one of the most successful […]

Komen wants out of the Planned Parenthood leper colony

The first paper I ever wrote in graduate school was a review of the literature on Leprosy. It is a disease transmitted by contact that we now know to be caused by a close first cousin of the bacterium that causes tuberculosis, and can be cured using the same antibiotics that we use against TB. This miracle of 20th Century medicine has emptied the leper colonies, arresting and eliminating the disease in its earliest stages before it maims and disfigures its victims. Sunlight seems to be having the same salutary effect on the Susan G. Komen Foundation, and they have […]

The disturbing video Planned Parenthood wishes everybody would just forget about

Click “like” if you want to end abortion! Drowning an abstinence advocate in a garbage can full of water, blowing up zombie pro-life protesters with giant condoms shot from a gun, cooking a pro-life senator in a boiling cauldron – these are all things Planned Parenthood thought were so funny and so clever that they included them in a promotional video put out by its former Planned Parenthood Golden Gate affiliate in 2005. After pro-lifers raised an outcry that spilled over into the media, Planned Parenthood pulled the “Superhero for Choice” video from their website without comment or apology. At […]

Court docs: Previous abortion triggered mental illness of mother almost forced to abort again

News services were quick to pick up the story last week of a Massachusetts Appellate Court overturning a ghastly decision by Probate Judge Christina Harms (pictured right) that would have forced a 32-yr-old mentally ill pregnant mother to get a late-term abortion (at 21 weeks) against her will and also be sterilized. Women’s groups and pro-abortion politicians, eager for the unusual opportunity to demonstrate they were pro-”choice” and not just pro-abortion, piled on. Pro-abortion website Jezebel called Harms a “horrible judge.” Robin Marty at RH Reality Check lectured, “Just as we will condemn those who force women to continue pregnancies […]
