This is one of the most disturbing videos I have ever seen. Any "church" that would permit a member of their clergy to make this sort of address and not face instant dismissal is apostate.

Is it fair to call him the frontrunner? Yesterday’s splashy WaPo story about Flynn’s rise through the VP ranks didn’t use that word specifically, but it sure made it sound like he’s the guy Trump is looking at most closely right now. He’s a Democrat, pro-choice, and apparently a friendly acquaintance of Vladimir Putin. He’ll fit right in. After weeks of focusing on a group of current and former elected officials in his search for a running mate, Donald Trump is increasingly intrigued by the idea of tapping retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn to project strength and know-how on...

Donald Trump has maintained and even increased his favorability numbers among white Protestant Republican voters in the past few weeks, a recent Gallup poll shows. The numbers stand in stark contrast to the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll showing his loss of support in the past few weeks among several other key voting blocs, including Hispanics and African-Americans. The Gallup poll found that Trump’s favorability among “highly religious” white Protestant Republicans increased to 66 percent this month from 57 percent in the window between February and the end of May. The 9-point gain is reflective of attitudes among evangelical Republicans,...

Republican New York Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney is mounting an anti-establishment campaign for the U.S. House seat in New York’s 22nd congressional district. Tenney’s Republican primary for the seat is Tuesday. She is running against businessman Steve Wells, whom Tenney is characterizing as an establishment Republican figure. Tenney says that the Establishment has already spent a million dollars in the primary race against her. The race is now a statistical virtual tie, with Tenney leading Wells 32 percent to 31 percent in a three-way race. Can Tenney pull it out? She spoke to Breitbart News Saturday on Sirius XM Patriot Channel...

"While Abortions Kill Babies, Court in Argentina Grants Basic Human Rights to an Orangutan" An Argentinian court ruled this week that a orangutan named Sandra should receive some of the same legal rights as human beings, according to the BBC. Position 9 Not in use The court decided that while the 20-year-old animal was not a human being, she is a “person” who deserves certain legal rights, according to the report. Lawyers for the orangutan argued that she was being illegally detained in the Buenos Aires zoo and that she had “probable cognitive capability,” the BBC reported. The court ruled...

Washington, DC – Select Investigative Panel Chairman Marsha Blackburn is calling on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to investigate potential violations of federal law by StemExpress and a number of abortion clinics. In a letter to the Office of Centralized Case Management Operations at HHS, Chairman Blackburn asks Director Jocelyn Samuels to examine evidence uncovered by the Select Panel’s investigation that shows StemExpress and the abortion clinics violated the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). The HIPAA privacy rule is a patients’ rights law, designed to empower the patient to determine when and...

It’s no secret that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s popularity is weak. Even many abortion activists who agree with her extreme position on abortion are not supporting her. One is prominent feminist Camille Paglia. In an interview with Spiked last week, Paglia said she would not vote for Hillary Clinton, even if she receives the presidential nomination. “I feel Hillary Clinton is utterly corrupt,” she said. “Her current positions on the campaign trail have been just co-opted from what Bernie Sanders was saying, because her poll testing told her that that’s where the party was. I think she’s absolutely soulless. I...

Because the “pro-life” and “pro-choice” labels have become so subjective, Americans are increasingly identifying with a particular label when, in reality, they don’t fall under that camp at all. Donald Trump has stated he is pro-life with exceptions (rape, incest and life of the mother). He has also stated seriously radical positions that hardly anyone in the pro-life movement would agree with, like women who seek illegal abortions should be punished. He also said that the “laws are set" on abortion and that the legality of it should go back to the states. Last May, Gallup released a poll that...

Leonard Pitts is trying. But he just can’t seem to write coherently on the issue of abortion. The reason for his incoherence is that he fails to understand that the issue boils down to two questions: “Is the unborn human?” and “What gives humans value?” Had he properly framed the issue he would not have written such an incoherent defense of abortion rights in a recent nationally syndicated column titled “Can You Be Pro Choice and Anti Abortion?” Pitts uses a tactic employed by many in the pro-choice movement. He denounces the pro-life tactic of displaying pictures of dismembered fetuses...

I am a busy parish priest half-way through Lent with Holy Week and Easter in sight in my rear view mirror -- so I quite frankly did not have time this week to write about what it means to be prayerfully pro-choice... again. But the orchestrated efforts to turn back the clock on women's reproductive freedom left me no other principled choice. It boggles my mind that in the year 2016 we are still battling Congressional efforts to defund Planned Parenthood, are subject to smear campaigns using doctored videos to villainize health care providers and need to show up at...

For most pro-lifers, the answer to when human life is worthy of protection is clear: at the moment of conception. But some pro-choice protesters at the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday gave answers that either do not hold up to any introspection, or are hardly answers at all. Protesters from both sides gathered in front of the U.S. Supreme Court building for oral arguments in a potential landmark abortion case, Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt. The case involves a Texas law that protects women’s health and welfare by requiring abortion clinics to meet the kinds of medical and safety standards...

This is from January 2015. He's for abortion for all the garden variety exceptions liberals love to spout but then when pinned down further and asked if a woman is pregnant and not by reason of any of his exceptions should she have have an abortion and he said 'depends on when (in the pregnancy she is)'.... If anyone on this site is holding tight to the idea that Trump is pro life in any shape, matter or form, this should finally disspell it for you. Donald knows EXACTLY what to tout and claim to get the conservative vote and...

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...
