Pro-Life Groups' New Web Site Responds to Obama Ditching Abortion Protections

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A coalition of pro-life groups has launched a new web site to respond to President Barack Obama's proposal to rescind protections for pro-life medical centers and professionals. The new Freedom2Care.org makes it easier for pro-life advocates to respond to the decision.

As LifeNews.com has reported, Obama has proposed removing the protections that provided better enforcement for existing conscience laws for medical professionals. . .

America's economy is as fragile as it's been in 30 years, so Zero decides that it's a good idea to BORROW money from the Chicoms and then GIVE it back to the Chicoms so they can murder more babies.

Obama Admin Sends UN Population Fund $50 Million, Abortion Backers Want More

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The American economy is in turmoil but the Obama administration sent a $50 million check yesterday to the United Nations Population Fund. That's the pro-abortion group that has been accused of supporting and working in concert with Chinese family planning officials.

There, the Chinese population control program has relied on forced abortions, involuntary sterilizations and other human rights abuses to enforce its rule that most couples may have no more than one child. . .

We are your bad conscience.

We have posters on FR who insist he is not too bad, even better than some of the GOP candidates.

[wagglebee]

Then their reference point for “bad” must be pretty severe. In the history of the world, I cannot think of any fairly elected head of state who has been worse.

Today's update from the  Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation:

Four Year Ago Today, March 19, 2005

Today was Day 2 of Judge George W. Greer's court ordered slow death by starvation and dehydration of Terri Schindler Schiavo.  Over the next 18 days we will post stories of the events that occurred on each of those days. We offer this not only in respect for Terri's memory, but a reminder that in this moment countless people are suffering slow, agonizing deaths in hospice, nursing homes, and hospitals in America and around the world.

Terri’s Family Kept in the Dark Outside the Hospice

From March 19, 2005 (Florida Baptist Witness)

A small crowd penned in by orange fencing in front of Woodside Hospice protested quietly Mar. 18, while inside, somewhere after 3 p.m. EST, the mechanism that allowed 41-year-old Terri Schiavo be connected to a feeding tube twice a day to receive food and nourishment, was removed on a judge’s order.

"They have removed the tube," a family member told Florida Baptist Witness at 4 p.m. Michael Vitadamo, whose wife, Suzanne (pictured), is Terri’s sister, had just returned to a small building across the street from the semi-secluded hospice facility.

Terri Schiavo's Painful Deprivation of Food and Water Began Four Years Ago

Clearwater, FL (LifeNews.com) -- Terri Schiavo's painful 13 day-long euthanasia death began four years ago yesterday and her eventual euthanasia death still sparks a controversial debate. After several years fighting to protect their daughter's right to live, Terri's parents were told to leave, unable to be with their daughter as her estranged husband began the process that killed her. . .

Winemakers Give Financial Support to Planned Parenthood

FRONT ROYAL, Va., March 17 /Christian Newswire/ -- Do you drink wine? Millions of people do, but most are unaware of the fact that many winemakers give financial support to Planned Parenthood, the world's leading pro-abortion behemoth.

"I like a glass of wine every now and then," said Thomas C. Strobhar, chairman of Life Decisions International. "I am appalled that so many winemakers fund the Culture of Death. I urge my fellow pro-life activists to let winemakers know that they have a 'choice.' They may continue to fund Planned Parenthood and lose a lot of business to competitors or they may stop funding Planned Parenthood and reap the benefits that come from happy consumers."

MURDER BY COMMITTEE.

[floriduh voter]

People are moving out of California, Florida... maybe Illinois soon. Illinois gave us our very own hitler-talk show guest.

[floriduh voter]

The country started its spiral downward when they tortured Terri and her family. So many said, "there goes the country" and they were right. I said "Fla should be punished but was quoted that there would not be an organized boycott but Fla would be punished.

It has come to pass.

INTERVIEW at youtube. Sipos interviews Atty Weller. I was sitting in a cbs canvas chair behind Weller. We weren't exhausted on day one but law enforcement, the insurmountable task, Jeb stringing everyone along over the airwaves and more took its toll.

Terri had a beautiful Mass however. There were tons of tears. Legislators were there. Glenn Beck and his wife were there. People were listening outside who didn't get in. There are photos from the service.

Terri was the FIRST AMERICAN NOT CONVICTED OF A CRIME TO BE EXECUTED BY THE STATE/I.E. THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM. History making...

Senate Passes Bill That Could Save Schiavo

From March 20, 2005 (Florida Baptist Witness)

The U.S. Senate passed a bill Sunday afternoon that could save Terri Schiavo’s life, sending it to the House, which is expected to vote on it after midnight.

The plan had been for the House to take up the bill first, but when House Democrats objected early Sunday afternoon, the Senate decided to take it up. It passed there on a voice vote.

If it passes the House unamended, it will go to President Bush, who has said he will sign it. If the bill is amended, it will go back to the Senate, where it must pass again before it goes to Bush.

And I have posted a thread about Terri from Wesley J. Smith's blog:

Wesley J. Smith: Terri Schiavo Was Not a Carrot

The use of the "V-word" continues to be used in the most "enlightened" places. Today, it is an interview with health author Jane Brody in the NYT about her new book on planning for death. From the interview:

Q: When is the right time to start planning for death?

A: Start thinking about it when it's unlikely to happen any time soon. It's much easier to do it then. It's less painful. Get it out of the way. Many people are saying, "I'm going to take action now while I still feel good and I'm still healthy." You don't have to be old. If you recall, Terri Schiavo was 26 when she suffered a heart attack that deprived her brain of oxygen and left her a living vegetable for 15 years, at great cost and trauma to her family.

Terri Schiavo was not a carrot or a turnip. She was a human being with a profound cognitive disability. Calling her a "V" demeans her and dehumanizes her moral worth as a human being--just as the odious "N-word" does people with dark skin. It should never be used among enlightened people. Indeed, we need to grow as a culture so that anyone using it is treated with the same disdain by polite society as we do now to anyone who uses the crude "N" epithet.

Steven Ertelt has posted a story and a thread about a truly sickening situation.

Woman Makes Daughter Have Abortion, Puts Baby's Body in Trash

Ft. Lauderdale, FL -- A Florida woman has been arrested and charged in connection with a case involving her forcing her teenager daughter to have an abortion. Tonuya Rainey, 38, allegedly obtained drugs from an abortion center to make her daughter have an abortion and then threw the body of the unborn child in the trash. . .

A great commentary on the difference between those who value life and those who don't.

A Tale of Two Stories, or When Villains Become Victims

March 20, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - This past Tuesday we ran two extraordinary stories - albeit extraordinary for very disparate reasons - that I gleefully stacked one on top of the other on the homepage. The intended effect was that the two should, by their very oppositeness, come into conflict and that the bad be revealed in the fullness of its badness, and the good in the fullness of its goodness; and I believe the tactic was successful.

The first had to do with a mother of six children who, at the same time that she found out she had a malignant cancerous tumor on her bladder and would have to undergo surgery and chemotherapy, also found out that she was 14 weeks pregnant with twins. Her physicians advised her to have her children killed, as physicians are wont to do in our enlightened era; but in the end she opted for the nobler road, and risked her life by refusing the treatment (which would likely have killed or severely harmed the twins) until after the children were born.

Her babies safely brought into the world via caesarean section at 32 weeks gestation, the courageous mother was treated for cancer. The treatment was deemed successful, and the story has a happy ending, in every possible way. This was a good story, and it was a pleasure to print.

The other story, strangely enough, also has a happy ending, and yet nevertheless stands in grotesque opposition to the first.

A child was born to a couple in Quebec, but was found to be gravely ill. Eventually a hopeless diagnosis was made, and the decision was made to remove life support, including artificial respiration and food and hydration. However, an apparent miracle then occurred: it was found that this infant girl, by the name of Phebe, could breathe on her own.

The hospital ethics committee then took the revolutionary step of doing what ethics committees are meant to do and ordered that food and hydration be immediately resumed: and - thanks be to God - the girl's life was saved. She is now fifteen months old, and suffers from cerebral palsy and other significant health problems. Nevertheless, she appears to be altogether a contented child, and is most certainly not a dead one. This is a mostly happy ending, but for one detail - little Phebe's parents wish she were dead. And to make the point perfectly clear they are suing the hospital for $3.4 million for having kept their daughter alive without their consent. . .

Notre Dame U. Allows Pro-Abortion President Obama to Give Commencement

South Bend, IN -- Leading pro-life Catholics are calling on Notre Dame University to rescind its invitation to pro-abortion President Barack Obama, who is slated to give the college's commencement address to graduation seniors on May 17. They say a Catholic college should not be giving a platform to an abortion advocate.

Joe Scheidler, a Notre Dame graduate and the founder of the Pro-Life Action League, is outraged that his alma mater would allow Obama to address graduates of what is supposed to be an institution of higher learning steeped in the Catholic traditions. . .
