Kermit’s Carnage: a day at ‘The Abortion Trial Of The Century’

My colleague Stephanie Gray and I arrived at the Philadelphia Criminal Justice Centre at 1:30 PM and headed through security and up three flights of stairs to Courtroom 304. Defence attorney Jack McMahon was just finishing his closing arguments, jabbing his finger towards a jury box full of moderately impassive and ordinary-looking people passing off as the peers of a serial killer. “Have the courage to say no to the press,” he said coaxingly. “Show courage, and show integrity. Integrity and courage in this case, of course, meant letting Dr. Kermit Gosnell, on trial for four counts of first degree […]

Men Objectify Women in Semi-Nude Images Study Reveals

Men Objectify Women in Semi-Nude Images Study Reveals by LifeSiteNews.com By Hilary White April 1, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Researchers in psychology at Stanford and Princeton universities have found that semi-nude images of women can cause men to view them as objects. The research, conducted by a team including Princeton psychologist Susan Fiske, who first presented the findings in mid-February at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, found that pictures of bikini-clad women activated brain regions associated with objects or tools.

Battered Chinese Forced-Abortion Protester Released from Jail

Battered Chinese Forced-Abortion Protester Released from Jail by LifeSiteNews.com By Kathleen Gilbert BEIJING, September 10, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Chen Guangcheng, the blind Chinese lawyer who has withstood abuse and imprisonment after drawing attention to his country’s coercive one-child policy, has been freed from prison – but has not escaped from the government’s iron fist. Chinese officials have installed surveillance equipment around the home and village of Guangcheng, who published stories of women’s forced abortions and sterilizations at the hands of the government.

Ew, gross! NY Times, Washington Post reject ad showing Planned Parenthood sex ed images (explicit)

Gosnell trial shows why Canada needs a Born Alive Infants Protection Act

Something remarkable is happening in the United States.  The practice of abortion itself is on trial in the case of the “House of Horrors”, late-term abortionist from Philadelphia.  Ostensibly, the case is about the ghoulish activities that took place in the “clinic” of one, Dr. Kermit Gosnell — activities which read more like the work of a serial killer than a licensed physician.  However, witness testimony of beheadings and neck-snipping performed by Gosnell to murder 100+ children who were born alive after failed abortions, is revealing the correlation between legal abortion and infanticide. The entire country is being exposed to the fact that infanticide has crept […]

Vacation with 5 kids: no good place to eat, sleep or go swimming!

Questions about disturbing massive use of police and military to catch 2 Boston bombers

Catholic midwives win landmark case to avoid taking part in abortion procedures

Two Roman Catholic midwives have today won a landmark legal battle to avoid taking any part in abortion procedures. Mary Doogan, 58, and Concepta Wood, 52, (pictured) lost a previous case against NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (GGC) when the court ruled that their human rights had not been violated as they were not directly involved in terminations.

Hemingway at GetReligion has been especially active, tweeting at a number of reporters and mainstream-media outlets who were not covering the case. In response, Sarah Kliff who covers abortion policy for the Washington Post tweeted that she had not written about the Gosnell trial because she covers policy “not local crime.” Many conservatives were quick to criticize Kliff.

My subsequent encounters with this pro-life hero, and his heroine wife Elaine, were marked by joy, great conversation and fellowship, as well as spiritual encouragement. […]

That impressive establishmentarian-sounding title belied a business which reflected the abortion philosophy lived to its fullest expression and logical conclusion. In the final analysis, the Gosnell case reveals much more than who Kermit Gosnell is. It has revealed to us who we have become as a nation. The Grand Jury Report reads like a a horror novel. So callous and cruel is this page-turner that it simply beggars the imagination. In it, the report details […]

Kermit’s Cutthroats: Abortion on Trial

In spite of an almost complete mainstream media blackout, details of the murder trial of Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell are still leaking out, anecdote by bloody, gruesome anecdote. Some of the stories emerging from this butcher’s clinic defy belief—writer Eric Metaxas (author of the book Amazing Grace) called the unfolding narrative “the Uncle Tom’s Cabin of the abortion movement.” Gosnell, who is accused of killing a patient through overdose of anesthesia as well as killing possibly hundreds of full-term infants by “snipping,” a practice whereby he thrust scissors into the backs of their necks and cut their spinal cords, has expressed confusion as to […]

Right up Josef Mengele’s alley

I try to be acutely sensitive to those in the Jewish community who are angered by any comparison between the Holocaust of the Jews and the executions of 55 million unborn babies. And yet reading various accounts yesterday, Holocaust Memorial Day, I was irresistibly drawn to something Mark Twain once said: “History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme.” There were doubtless hundreds, if not thousands, of well-written and often heart-breaking  accounts published on Monday. I read one (of many) in the Washington Post: “A Train back in time: Held at Auschwitz as children, sisters now teach young people.” […]

Legalizing assisted death is not safe and will never be safe

The media is promoting the sad story of Susan Griffiths, a Winnipeg Manitoba woman who decided to die at the Dignitas suicide clinic in Switzerland. Griffiths has Multiple System Atrophy, a condition that will leave her significantly disabled before she dies. I understand the feelings that Griffiths has and I understand her fear of living with disabilities, but her condition and her story are only part of the assisted dying debate and her condition is not a reason to legally permit physicians to lethally inject or to prescribe suicide for their patients. Legalizing Euthanasia and/or assisted suicide (assisted death) would […]

‘Jesus once looked like this’: new pro-life graphics show Jesus ‘from Annunciation to Nativity’

Inspired by my recent reflections on the “Litany to Jesus in the Womb of Mary”—with its moving lines about how Christ’s “Precious Blood first flowed through tiny arteries and veins in the womb of Mary”—the Pro-Life Action League on Monday launches a new series of graphics, entitled From Annunciation to Nativity. Each of the entries in this occasional series, to run from Monday, the Feast of the Annunciation, until Christmas, will highlight a stage of development in utero as experienced by Jesus Christ during his nine months of life in the womb of his mother, Mary. These, of course, are stages of life that we […]

How to combat flak from Christians for teaching biblical sexual ethics

Anyone who presents a biblical perspective on sexual ethics on the internet will come in for a lot of criticism and be called all manner of things, especially if writing about homosexuality.  This is entirely what we should expect.  We live in a world that is hostile to Christian faith and values and to many people biblical sexual ethics are antiquated, bizarre, naïve, unrealistic or even unchristian. But when that criticism comes from fellow Christians it is can be more challenging to handle. The Evangelical Alliance’s recent survey on the views of evangelical Christians in Britain reveals that there is a wide range […]

Same-sex ‘marriage’ and abortion

Jonah, Jason, and Nicholas have all had insightful comments on NRO about the link between same-sex marriage and abortion. In modern politics, the two have certainly been linked. This is because attitudes toward the morality of premarital sex are very strongly correlated with opinions toward both abortion and same-sex marriage, so activists, elected officials, and organizations who have opposed abortion are also very likely to oppose same-sex marriage. Interestingly, however, the strength of the link seems to vary somewhat among demographic groups.  For instance, many polls show that young people are supportive of same-sex marriage. However, a growing body of survey research also […]
