Two tweets in the last week, one from Cosmopolitan and one from NARAL, reveal the depravity of these radical pro-abortionists. Although the tweet has now been removed, Cosmopolitan sent out this message on February 4th: "Texas women are having more babies since Planned Parenthood was defunded," followed by a sad face. This was linked to a picture featuring the graphic #StandwithPP. Oh, the tragedy! Texas women are having more babies. More children are being spared the horrors of abortion - being sliced up, burned up, and sucked into pieces in the womb - and are seeing the light of day....

THIS JUST IN from the Thomas More Society, the not-for-profit, public interest law firm that is defending David Daleiden against charges that he and his Center for Medical Progress have violated the law in exposing Planned Parenthood’s illegal sale of aborted baby body parts: As prelude to David Daleiden presenting himself to the Harris County court this week, the Center for Medical Progress released a new video exposing how Planned Parenthood used accounting gimmicks to hide its illegal sale of fetal tissue. Daleiden will present himself before Judge Brock Thomas at 9 a.m. on Thursday, February 4th. Statement by Peter...

It's time to draw a proverbial "line in the sand" on the abortion issue and how it relates to our Christian faith. As Christians, we cannot continue to dance around the genocide that is taking place in our midst, and while many incredible individuals and organizations have been doing hard work fighting against this unimaginable injustice, it's time that we all stand with them. So who I want to address this to is Christians who have been wavering in their opinions on whether or not abortion is compatible with their faith, because we need you to recognize abortion for what...

Pro-choicer Sarah Ditum comments on sex-selection abortions: "In a world where it's possible to end a pregnancy safely and legally, it seems like rank brutality to force anyone to carry to term against her will...it's the woman's say that counts, and even the most terrible reason for having an abortion holds more sway than the best imaginable reason for compelling a woman to carry to term." Sarah Ditum "Why women have a right to sex-selective abortion" The Guardian 19 September 2013

For an organization that's more akin to preventing parenthood Planned Parenthood sure has given birth to the mother of all irony on Facebook recently. The screenshots below are everything that is right and wrong with social media. When I first saw a screenshot of this on Tumblr I thought it was fake...IT HAD TO BE FAKE. It's not fake... If you go to the link you'll see the volume of literal insanity is absolutely maddening. A lot of intelligent people have pointed out the sheer irony of this post. I would say just go ahead and check it for yourself,...

Documents shed light on tissue procurement process for medical research... Taxpayers have paid for intact human fetal brains intended for use in medical research, at a cost of as much as $1,080 per brain, according to documents obtained through a public records request. Researchers at the University of Connecticut studying brain development for the National Institutes of Health have used federal funding for over a decade to obtain up to two fetal brains per month.

Abortion stops a beating heart, kills innocent babies that are defenseless and unable to defend themselves against the murderers, and abortion advances a culture of death I own a rubber model of a 12-week unborn baby that I keep on my desk. My four-year-old granddaughter, the first time she noticed the Precious Onein my office said, “Look Grandpa. A baby!” Even my pre-school aged granddaughter recognized the reality of God’s Creation. She did not see the model as being one of a “fetus,” or “a blob of tissue.” She recognized it as being a replica of a baby. The idea...

It appears to be universally agreed upon that last night’s debate on CNN was Carly Fiorina’s moment to shine in the spotlight, and she did. The fight to get her as number 11 into the debate paid big dividends for her. She was poised, sometimes stern, and made a great connection between Iran and Planned Parenthood. Many have already jumped on to the Carly bandwagon, but there are still many unanswered questions about her that conservatives should demand answers for first before joining the group. Was she that great of a CEO at HP?According to her in the debate, yes...

Energized from a standout performance in the second GOP presidential debate, Carly Fiorina hit the morning talk shows Thursday to remind voters that she accomplished her feat “in high heels.” “I hope what people saw last night is that I can win this job and I can do this job,” Fiorina said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” The sole female GOP presidential contender added: “It was a long debate and I tell you what, I had to do it in high heels.” It was the first time Fiorina took the main debate stage with the 10 leading Republican candidates and the...

There has been a lot of back and forth between left and right on the integrity of all of the undercover videos showing Planned Parenthood to be the evil organization honest people have always known it to be. The truth of the matter is most people aren't going to watch the videos. I've seen clips here and there, but as a father of two and knowing unequivocally that a fetus is a human being I honestly don't have it in me to watch them all. I just don't. For those who can't (me) or wont watch all of the footage...

An Office Depot in Illinois last month refused to print copies of a flyer that contained facts about Planned Parenthood (mostly taken from Planned Parenthood’s own annual report) along with a pro-life prayer, and the company is standing by that decision in the face of legal threats: Last month, Maria Goldstein, a Roman Catholic, asked employees at an Office Depot location in Schaumburg, Ill., to make 500 copies of “A Prayer for Planned Parenthood”, the Associated Press reported . . . Company spokeswoman Karen Denning tells the Chicago Tribune that Office Depot prohibits the copying of material that advocates...

Ben Carson’s presidential campaign is surging on a wave of support from socially conservative voters inspired by his passionate talk about faith and his attacks on Planned Parenthood. But while Carson insists he’s a fierce opponent of abortion, he also defends a long series of actions on the issue that are sharply at odds with the beliefs of the very voters fueling his rise. Carson, a retired pediatric neurosurgeon, has referred women to doctors who perform abortions, was a trustee of a foundation that gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to Planned Parenthood, and his campaign struggles to articulate which...

The Center for Medical Progress released a supplemental video today that sheds more light on the profit Planned Parenthood makes associated with the ale of aborted babies and their body parts. Earlier this month, the pro-life organization released a video catching a Planned Parenthood official discussing how the abortion business sells “fully intact” aborted babies. The video provides evidence showing the Planned Parenthood abortion business may be selling the “fully intact” bodies of unborn babies purposefully born alive and left to die. Today’s 28-minute supplemental video provides additional proof of that and also shows how Planned Parenthood is making and...

Retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson told the Dave Ramsey show on Wednesday that the Department of Veterans Affairs should be folded into the Department of Defense and VA facilities should only be used for specialized care like traumatic brain injuries and limb replacement procedures. “The size of government has to be reduced significantly. There’s a lot of stuff that we’re doing that doesn’t make any sense. We have a Department of Veterans Affairs. We don’t need a Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans Affairs should be in under the Department of Defense, and it should be smooth transition,” said Carson. The...

Planned Parenthood is Likely Keeping Some Aborted Babies Alive “Until Their Hearts are Cut Out” Dr. Theresa Deisher is a world-renowned scientist in the field of stem cell research who holds patents after discovering adult stem cells in human hearts. Deisher helped the pro-life activists who spent three years recording undercover videos and capturing documents and information showing the Planned Parenthood abortion business selling aborted babies and their body parts. Now, in a new interview, Deisher says she has reviewed the information the activists collected and she is making a shocking claim that Planned Parenthood may be keeping some babies...

She’s running for President on her track record as CEO of HP, but if that’s the case, Fiorina might want to rethink her strategy. Fresh from strong debate quips, Carly Fiorina has improbably raced from 14th to fifth place in the New Hampshire Republican primary polls and now enjoys a 70% favorability rating in Iowa, ahead of such career politicians as Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Chris Christie, Rick Perry, George Pataki, and Lindsay Graham. It is time to take her candidacy seriously and examine her leadership record. Having never held elected office, she has staked her...

StemExpress, one of the tissue companies that works with Planned Parenthood, is cutting its ties with the women’s health organization after a series of sting videos that have prompted congressional inquiries, sources tell POLITICO. The small biomedical tissue procurement company is distancing itself from Planned Parenthood after finding itself tangentially linked to what abortion opponents allege is Planned Parenthood’s illegal trafficking of fetal tissue and organs. . . Both StemExpress and Planned Parenthood have denied doing anything illegal or improper. They say that they only facilitated the donation of tissue for medical research with a patient’s consent. StemExpress, a five-year-old...

This week, Donald J. Trump said that listening to Carly Fiorina, the only woman competing for the Republican presidential nomination, gave him “a massive headache.” It was music to Mrs. Fiorina’s ears. For months, the former Hewlett-Packard executive has tried to gain traction by pointedly attacking Hillary Rodham Clinton. But Mrs. Fiorina’s candidacy did not start to sizzle until her performance at last week’s second-tier Republican debate, where viewers realized that as the sole woman in a 17-candidate primary field, she was singularly qualified to stand up to Mr. Trump. It is not a role Mrs. Fiorina necessarily wants to...

Yesterday, a news story broke where an undercover video was shown allegedly capturing a Planned Parenthood worker brokering a deal to sell the body parts of their aborted fetuses. The woman on the video goes into graphic detail about how the tiny organs are harvested while she casually sips her wine and eats her salad. The viral video has propelled outrage all over the internet and launched hashtags such as #PPSellsBodyParts. This story has put the abortion debate back into the national spotlight. As a Christian (and a pastor), I’ve never seen abortion as a “political” issue, but rather as...
