The homosexual activist tyranny is growing and it is a real tyranny

The homosexual activist tyranny is growing and it is a very real tyranny. We need to ask how can this have come so far in so few years? Todays report, Christian B&B owners lose Supreme Court appeal: forced to sell business after gay couple complain, is not only yet another heart-breaker for that good couple who have endured much unjust persecution. It is also verification that anyone who holds to Natural Law principles, whether they be Christian or otherwise, is now subject to judicial, political and social tyranny that will only become worse in the months and years ahead – in […]

‘You should have been aborted’: Fear and loathing in the abortion wars

“You should have been aborted.” Of all the random insults tossed at pro-lifers, this is probably the most frequent, tiresome, and predictable. When faced with people who say we shouldn’t kill other, inconvenient people, the knee-jerk reaction of these winsome ambassadors of Third Wave Feminism is to find that inconvenient, and suggest you should have been killed yourself. Thanks for proving our point, I think. It seems that nothing quite unhinges an abortion supporter like someone who disagrees with them. (Violence and vitriol are not only leveled at pro-lifers who use abortion victim photography, like some would claim—one of my […]

Post-abortion stories that were supposed to create support for abortion; they did the exact opposite

The impact of the 26 abortion stories collected by Meaghan Winter for a cover story in New York Magazine continues to resonate. (See nrlc.cc/1c595hc and nrlc.cc/1c599xw.) Pro-abortionists insist it is the latest and perhaps most visible example of women “telling my story.” This, they maintain, will contribute to the “destigmatization” of abortion. Pro-lifers look not just at these accounts, but so many like them, and conclude that could not possibly be further from the truth. At one or many levels, most of the women suffered egregiously. The ugly face of abortion—which included many stories of subtle and overt pressure to […]

Craine November 11, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Two years ago Michael Glatze sent shockwaves through the homosexualist establishment when he declared publicly that he had left his life as a prominent homosexual activist, become Christian, and embraced “normal human sexuality.” However, after being subjected to intense criticism and ridicule following his conversion, Glatze decided to “go inside,” “be silent,” and “process” for a time, but now says he feels compelled to share his story anew. In an interview with LifeSiteNews.com (LSN), Glatze said that, […]

Employee accuses Planned Parenthood of committing bait-and-switch abortions

For several days I’ve been relaying nefarious inside information from current and former employees about the Planned Parenthood Keystone affiliate in Pennsylvania  (i.e., unsanitary conditions, slave wages and exorbitant healthcare premiums, and ridiculous patient charges). On November 12, a worker at Planned Parenthood Allentown wrote this comment about yet another apparent wrong being committed by PP Keystone: bait-and-switch abortions. Here in Allentown when abortion patients show up half of them don’t know we don’t offer general anesthesia. Talk about informed consent. If they knew that they would all go to Allentown Women’s Center a city over.  By the time they realize what’s going on we have already done an ultrasound, […]

#IStandWithThomasPeters tweetfest is today

Nearly four months ago Thomas Peters, the communications director for the National Organization for Marriage, was critically injured in a horrific swimming accident. Thomas is an occasional writer for National Review Online and is a great defender of life, traditional marriage, and faith. He blogs at CatholicVote and has been one of the leading social-conservative voices on Twitter where his handle is @AmericanPapist. Tom’s accident, at first, left him nearly paralyzed.  Not surprisingly, his recovery has not been easy. He had to undergo a two-day surgery to replace a damaged vertebrae with a titanium cage.

Christian business gives sex-trafficking victims in Mumbai a new start

Human trafficking is a scourge in our world, and there are many ways to fight it. Typically, we think of NGOs and charitable organizations, but more and more of the private sector is taking up the cause. In a special report, the Business As Mission Global Think Tank offers concrete ways for-profit businesses can be a vital component in this battle. Specifically, the think tank studied how the Business as Mission (BAM) movement can put the traditional business model to work against sex trafficking. All businesses, of course, are meant to make a profit and meet a marketplace demand. BAM […]

How to have abortion-minded women listen to our message

Why do some people readily hear our message of love and compassion for mother and unborn child while to others it is not so much rejected as it comes across as unimportant or “background noise”? Here’s a thought, based on a piece written by Seth S. Horowitz, published in the New York Times, that was passed along to me. In “The Science and Art of Listening,” Horowitz, an auditory neuroscientist at Brown University, employs a three-tiered explanatory system to explain the complexity of hearing and to distinguish hearing from listening and the role of attention. He observes that because there […]

Mexico City Official Admits that Decriminalization has Increased the Number of Abortions

Mexico City Official Admits that Decriminalization has Increased the Number of Abortions by LifeSiteNews.com MEXICO CITY, April 24, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Mexico City’s Secretary of Health, Manuel Mondragón, admits that the legalization of abortion in the city “has tended to increase” the abortion rate, but in his opinion, “not in a disproportionate way”, according to the French Press Agency. The admission by a pro-abortion politician that legalizing abortion increases its frequency is rare.

‘Vegetative’ patient described the excruciating pain of being dehydrated, starved

We dehydrate to death helpless people in this country because they have a catastrophic cognitive impairment. Advocates for dehydration say it is just medical ethics, the withdrawal of the medical treatment of tube feeding. (Now, there is even a lawsuit to compel starvation by withholding spoon feeding–not a medical treatment!) Dehydrating helpless people to death was once unthinkable. Then, in the 80s, bioethicists began advocating withdrawing tube-supplied food and fluids. And so it came to pass. Advocates for dehydration started by claiming it should be reserved strictly for those who are unconscious. They have, of course, broadened the dehydration caste since. […]

Boston Globe nails the trouble with abortion bubble zones

With the Supreme Court about to hear McCullen v. Coakley, a case dealing with Boston’s bubble zone law, Jacoby aptly notes, “McCullen v. Coakley isn’t about abortion. It is about the denial of free speech rights for one side—and only one side—of one the most unsettled controversies in American life. Even in Massachusetts, that’s unconstitutional.” Be sure to read the full article and share with your social networks. The truth about these unconstitutional […]

Euthanasia – what does the Bible say?

There are two instances of euthanasia in the Bible. In the first, Abimelech, believing himself to be fatally wounded (with a fractured skull after being hit on the head by a millstone), asks his armour-bearer to kill him to spare him the ‘indignity’ of being killed by a woman (Judges 9:52-55). In the second, an Amalekite despatches the mortally injured Saul, still alive after a failed attempt at suicide (2 Samuel 1:6-9). These two cases demonstrate the two main arguments for euthanasia, autonomy (‘death with dignity’) and compassion (‘release from suffering’). The Bible tells us that human beings are unique […]

Jesus Christ was unashamedly speciesist

In 2011 British farmers slaughtered 26,000 cattle and introduced emergency measures to curb the spread of bovine tuberculosis, costing the taxpayer £90 million. In response, government ministers approved the cull of up to 100,000 badgers thought to be responsible for harbouring the disease.  The move provoked the largest animal rights protest since those over fox hunting in the 1990s. Dr Brian May, particle physicist and lead guitarist for the popular rock group Queen, set up an e-petition to ‘stop the badger cull’. When over 155,000 people signed it prompted a parliamentary debate. It was Australian philosopher Peter Singer who popularised […]

‘Emergency Contraception’ has NO effect on abortion rate, may decrease reports of rape: study

A new article on so-called “emergency contraception” (hereafter: EC) was published last week in the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management. Its central finding: We find that expanded access to EC has had no statistically significant effect on birth or abortion rates. If you’ve been following the research on EC in recent years, you’ll recognize that this is not so much news as it is further confirmation that the ever-increasing propagation of EC has been an utterly failed strategy. How utterly?  Consider that when the FDA first approved EC pills in 1998, supporters predicted that “50 percent of all abortions and unintended pregnancies in this country could […]

That’s what a rational humane society should do.” It’s great that Sen. Graham is kickstarting this debate, […]

My strong hunch is that Ken Cuccinelli actually won Virginia

Take a look at this map.  It's a map showing the results of the voting in Tuesday's Virginia election for governor. All the solid red areas voted a majority for Cuccinelli. The small Dark blue ares went Terry McAuliffe (Yes, I know those are the most densely populated areas of Virginia). The rest were mixed. Notice that the map seems to be almost solid red. And yet, Ken Cuccinelli somehow very narrowly lost to his Democrat opponent. To me, something smells about this race  (not just because of all the red on the map) and I suspect Ken Cuccinelli actually […]

New campaign warns abortion clinic workers: ‘Don’t let your job put you in prison’

  Delaware Right to Life has erected six billboards this autumn, one directly across the street from the Wilmington Planned Parenthood (in photo above). The billboards give a simple but sobering message to abortion clinic workers: “Don’t let your job put you in prison.” This message is ripe in a state where two former Planned Parenthood employees testified earlier this year about health violations and inappropriate behavior by an abortionist they observed at their clinics. The billboards are part of a larger campaign that includes posters, postcards, a radio ad, the ClinicWorker.com website, and a Facebook page – all the brainchild of Life Dynamics President Mark Crutcher. Crutcher has assembled this array of materials so pro-lifers […]

Notorious abortionist may have opened illegal clinic in Pennsylvania

The headline was, to put it mildly, understated: “Pa. probing controversial abortion clinic in Phila.” What may be going on in Pennsylvania, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Marie McCullough, is that one of the most notorious abortionists in all of North America– Steven Brigham—may have “opened a new clinic in Pennsylvania, even though the state has barred him from doing so, and even though abortion clinics are being scrutinized under a recently enacted state law.” So who is Steven Brigham? In her story published Wednesday McCullough outlined his track record: Public records show that Brigham, 57, has a two-decade history […]

IVF-Conceived Children Have Higher Risk of Cancer: Swedish Study

IVF-Conceived Children Have Higher Risk of Cancer: Swedish Study by LifeSiteNews.com By James Tillman July 26, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com)—Children conceived with IVF appear to have an elevated risk of cancer according to a large population-based study conducted in Sweden. Fifty-three cases of cancer were found among the 26,692 IVF-conceived children studied – a number that is significantly higher than the 38 that would be expected given the rate of cancer in the Swedish population. This translates into a 42% increased risk of cancer. IVF-conceived children were also 87% more likely than the general population to have received a diagnosis of cancer […]

Yes, abortion is a losing issue for Wendy Davis

Wendy Davis’s recent entrance into the race for Texas governor has garnered national media attention. A few weeks ago, Democratic political consultant Jason Stanford authored a Politico op-ed claiming that Davis’s position on abortion will actually help her during her upcoming campaign. His primary argument involves polling data that purportedly shows significant percentages of moderates, suburbanites, and soft Republicans in Texas think abortion should be a “legal and personal choice.” Stanford also thinks that Davis’s abortion stance may help her win the votes of suburban Texas women. His argument is unpersuasive. Political scientists know the results of abortion polls are very sensitive to the wording of […]

Pro-abortion Texas newspaper picks wrong couple to use to complain about pro-life law

Albuquerque is currently a late-term abortion magnet, as it is home to abortionist Curtis Boyd’s Southwestern Women’s Options, where elective abortions are committed “through 28 weeks” and “later” for maternal/fetal indications. This ban would set a dangerous precedent for abortion supporters.

US School Districts Cover Up Teacher Sex Abuse with Confidential Agreements and Payouts by LifeSiteNews.com By Hilary White SALEM, Oregon, February 19, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – An exposé by the Oregonian daily newspaper shows that US teachers who sexually abuse their students are often given a pass into other teaching jobs as a cost-saving measure. A search for the phrase “sex abuse cover-up” in the Google internet search engine produces news reports almost exclusively focused on the Catholic Church.

Belgium leaps off moral cliff: considering legalizing euthanasia for children

We have discussed the Belgian legislation that would open euthanasia to children more than once here at Human Exceptionalism. Now, the mainstream media is catching up. From the Washington Post story. Belgium, where euthanasia is now legal for people over the age of 18, the government is considering extending it to children — something that no other country has done. The same bill would offer the right to die to adults with early dementia. Note that the law’s supposed legal constraints are violated with impunity: Dr. Gerlant van Berlaer, a pediatric oncologist at the Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussels hospital, says the changes would legalize what is […]

Pro-Life groups: ObamaCare will ‘Make Planned Parenthood a $2B industry’

915: the number of pink crosses pro-lifers staked into the lawn of the Capitol on the morning of Oct. 31. 915: also the number of babies aborted daily in the U.S. by Planned Parenthood.

As a call on Congress to defund Planned Parenthood, activists staked 915 crosses into the ground, each representing a baby aborted that day […]

A new lawsuit against the federal government has been filed regarding the HHS mandate. The Williams family (father Joseph III, sons Joseph IV and Mark) own Electrolock, an electrical and thermal insulation company based in Ohio.

When your arguments just can’t hack it

What do you do when your arguments just can't hack it? You hack the opposition's website. Last week, all Students for Life of America websites were hacked, causing a denial of service. Earlier this week, our intern attempted to access critical data on AbortionDocs.org and likewise found herself in a sea of 404 not found errors. In both instances, the websites were restored in a matter of days. It's no big deal in the grand scheme of things. No one brief incident of ideological hacking is terribly newsworthy, even in the pro-life blogosphere. But at a certain point, I have […]
