Awesome! Pro-Lifers Take Over NARAL Site NARAL put out a call for people to send in a pic, a message, a sign of their pro-abort zealotry. They said they wanted to put a face to their cause or some such thing. Here it is: But it would appear that the awesomely awesome Kathleen Gilbert at LifeSiteNews.com noticed it and let pro-lifers know about the Flickr site that would automatically upload messages and pics. Well, by 4:30 p.m. Kathleen wrote that the site was totally filled with pro-life messages and the poor fools at NARAL were working hard to delete them...

NEW YORK, May 17, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A video recently published by NARAL Pro-Choice New York has revealed a national strategy to network with lawmakers to target pregnancy resource centers (PRC) in urban areas. The strategy would employ a gag rule intended to hamstring the centers’ ministry to abortion-vulnerable women. The video, available on YouTube as of May 10, features council members from New York City and Austin, Texas, slamming pro-life pregnancy resource centers collectively as “an institution with an agenda” that engage in “emotionally bullying” and even “brainwashing” of vulnerable women.“What they tell us is this is a...

"will cover the entire lawn of Planned Parenthood with white sheets, a longtime symbol of the KKK" In a press conference held on Saturday, Christian Defense Coalition Director Rev. Patrick Mahoney — the anti-abortion activist behind last month’s KKK-invoking rally in front of House Speaker Rep. John Boehner’s office — announced that he is starting a national campaign called “Defund ‘Klanned’ Parenthood.” # A press release circulated by Mahoney last week says the group will also stage a protest outside a Planned Parenthood in Washington, D.C., and “as part of their public witness against the racist roots of Planned Parenthood,...

March 1, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Over the last three decades the conversion story of Dr. Bernard Nathanson, the former leading abortionist turned pro-life activist, touched countless souls. Included among them is the woman who most recently had the courage to follow in his footsteps - former Planned Parenthood director Abby Johnson. Recently Johnson opened up about Nathanson’s influence, especially in the difficult days and weeks immediately following her decision to leave Planned Parenthood. Nathanson, a founding member of NARAL Pro-Choice America, passed away last week after a lengthy battle with cancer. Yesterday morning he was put to rest after a...

Dr. Bernard Nathanson, once the foremost abortionist in the United States and then perhaps abortion's most effective opponent, died on Tuesday at age 84. The Washington Post obituary mentioned that his 28-minute film, The Silent Scream, released in 1985, "became a sensation, widely distributed by antiabortion groups and screened at the White House by President Ronald Reagan, who urged members of Congress to see the movie and 'move quickly to end the tragedy of abortion.'"Therein lies a tale in which I participated when I met Dr. Nathanson in the White House back in 1985. At the time, I was...

NEW YORK — Dr. Bernard N. Nathanson, an obstetrician who oversaw the performance of about 75,000 abortions before becoming a leading pro-life advocate and a convert to the Catholic faith, died after a prolonged battle with cancer this morning in New York. He was 84. After performing his last abortion in 1979 and declaring himself to be pro-life, Nathanson produced the 1985 film The Silent Scream, which shows sonogram images of a child in the womb shrinking from an abortionist’s instruments, and the documentary film Eclipse of Reason, which displays and explains various abortion procedures in graphic detail. Both films...

February 21, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Bernard Nathanson, the former abortionist turned top pro-life activist who is perhaps best known for his role in creating the pro-life video The Silent Scream, died at the age of 84 this morning after a lengthy battle with cancer, reports the National Catholic Register.

Nathanson’s high-profile conversion to the pro-life movement was sparked by the advent of the ultrasound machine in the early 1970s....

Dear Pro-Choice Supporter, Thank you. You were with us every step of the way helping to protect our pro-choice allies in Congress, and your partnership means so much. Our focus and passion makes losing the U.S. House of Representatives to anti-choice politicians all the more difficult. We came so far in recent elections, and you probably feel a lot like I do about yesterday’s outcome: frustrated and disappointed – but determined. We now face a Congress stacked with extreme anti-choice politicians, but we cannot give our opponents an inch! Starting today, we must send a message to John Boehner, who...

On a recent summer afternoon, Danica Fountain was spending time with her eight-year-old daughter, Aaliyah Sanchez, but the pair was not relaxing at home or shopping at a nearby mall. Fountain and her daughter were on Capitol Hill lobbying members of Congress about the work done by pregnancy resource centers across the nation. The visit came in the wake of the release of a report by NARAL Pro-Choice America’s California affiliate that accuses pregnancy resource centers of convincing women not to have an abortion by apparently using inaccurate medical information and untrained volunteers who use intimidation techniques. (NARAL was formerly...

House Republicans' new "Pledge to America" has met with mixed reaction. However, most Americans -- even those in Congress -- should be able to agree on at least one item in the 21-page agenda: the proposal to address federal subsidies for elective abortion once and for all. Poll after poll shows 70 percent or more of voters oppose taxpayer funding of abortion. A dispute in Congress over it dominated the closing stages of debate on Obamacare. Democrats might well have passed their legislative overhaul of health care months sooner had it not been for their party's internal battles over abortion....

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Nearly one year following the death of late-term abortion practitioner George Tiller, NARAL president Nancy Keenan used the occasion to trash pro-life advocates. In a new opinion column in the Huffington Post, Keenan highlights women who loved Tiller and says pro-lifers exploited his death. Keenan gushed over Tiller as if he were Mother Teresa, even though he killed unborn children in the latter parts of pregnancy, injured women and killed a mentally disabled teenager in a botched abortion. "After his murder, many women and men came to our blog to express their appreciation for what Dr....
