C E N T E R F O R R E C L A I M I N G A M E R I C A From the Desk of Dr. Gary Cass, Executive Director + + PRO-LIFE ALERT,
1/17/2005 Supreme Court receives case to overturn Roe v. Wade (Forward to your pro-life friends)
On January 18, the U.S. Supreme Court will begin a process that could overturn Roe v. Wade! Because you have stood with the Center for Reclaiming America on pro-life issues, I wanted to alert you to this news. On January 18, Norma McCorvey (the original "Jane Roe" of Roe v. Wade) will file a legal appeal with the Supreme Court to have Roe v. Wade reversed. I will be in Washington, D.C., on that day to stand with our friends at The Justice Foundation in support of this case. The Justice Foundation has invested thousands upon thousands of hours in this case. They have gathered an enormous body of evidence to support Norma's case. Chris, this is a powerful opportunity to refute Roe v. Wade! Here is how you can help. First, notify your friends. Forward this message to everyone you know. We simply must get the word out. Second, please pray for Norma and the team at The Justice Foundation. Set aside time on January 18, specifically, to pray. Third, find out more about this case and how you can impact The Justice Foundations efforts here: http://www.operationoutcry.org Thank you! Dr. Gary Cass Executive Director Center for Reclaiming America + + For CENTER coverage of this issue: http://www.reclaimamerica.org/pages/operation/operationout.asp + + The Center for Reclaiming America, established by Dr. D. James Kennedy, is an outreach of Coral Ridge Ministries to inform the American public and motivate Christians to defend and implement the biblical principles on which our country was founded.

And that was the point.
Empty Playgrounds
A poem by Miss Norma McCorvey
The former Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade
Director, Crossing Over Ministry
I sit across from a playground that I visited this eve with a small child.
I know of such places where children play.
I know that I am the cause of them not being here today.
These playgrounds for "innocent children" now dead because of sins I helped do.
I hope, Lord, that the wonderful playground is well guarded with angels.
Angels who will protect them keep them happy and safe.
Angels who will make them smile and laugh.
So that when that glorious day comes; the children will not hold "the sin" against me.
For every time I see a playground empty, I will know that yours will be full.
The sun is now setting, and my heart hurts, Lord.
For the numbers who from abortion have been torn apart.
I pray you can put them back together and make them whole.
If you like, Lord, use my body to make your precious children whole again.
I ask you to do this not only for them, Lord, but also for the love I have for each of them.
Lord, God, you gave your only Son, and He died and shed His blood for us.
All I did was give my baby away so that "women could tear theirs apart."
For this I will never be able to look in your face out of shame.
WOW !
Hadn't you ever read her poem before?
No.. this is the first I have seen it..
LOL!!
Do you think it will really happen?
I know miracles happen ... I pray one does for the sweet innocents and the often-concealed risk of breast cancer for the woman, but my head says the chances are slimmer than slim. Look at the perfect platform for HillaryBeast, eh? I sure keep praying.
Ping.
Overturning Roe v. Wade will NOT end ALL legal ABORTIONS, it will be up to the States to decide the issue. It is only a STEP in the right direction.
Hmmm...
I've been on the periphery of the group, and firmly believe that everyone involved is totally sincere. And I pray for at least 4 judges who will agree to hear arguments, possibly to re-evaluate the "penundrums" and the beginning of human life.
We are already way behind on life issues. Scientists are inventing new ways to create lives that will be killed for research and for their parts - as though human life is valuable only for its utility to others.
We must win these battles. We must show the public the human brain cells that have been inserted in mice, the chimeras of mixed human and pig or other mammal DNA, the vats of human embryos that are being used to test drugs and medical treatments. We must teach the world that human lives are valuable and that every life that originated from human parentage is to be treated as possessing inalienable rights - as our children.
I remember the day of the decision. I protested at the Capital of Kansas. I was 13. 6 years later, I stood by my convictions and did NOT have an abortion. Several of my friends had abortions, and thought I was nuts not to do the same. I gave birth to a full term, healthy baby boy. I chose life, and adoption, not abortion. I am not ashamed. I made a big mistake, but I didn't make an innocent child pay for my mistake with his life. I pray for those who did make that mistake, and for the innocent babies who died because of it. Abortion needs to END! RIGHT NOW!
Federal District Court of North Texas ruled that the motion was not made within a reasonable amount of time, and 5th Circuit ruled that, because the laws under which the original suit was brought are no longer operative, the issue is moot. Tough to argue with either ruling.
The "newly discovered evidence" reason in subparagraph (2) is out by definition, given the 1 year limitation expressly delineated in 60(b).
I can't imagine the Court will see anything other than that both lower courts properly applied 60(b).
Bad choices by the plaintiffs. Publicity case, as you put it, indeed. Expensive, time consuming, and counter-productive.
From a freind via email: FOUR are required to grant cert. I can see 3 wanting to overturn, but I can't see a fourth. Why would a fourth take the case, unless UPS just delievered a missing conscience.
What do you think about Rep. Ron Paul's legislation on this matter?
We the People Act (HR 3893)- Prohibits the Supreme Court and each Federal court from adjudicating any claim or relying on judicial decisions involving: (1) State or local laws, regulations, or policies concerning the free exercise or establishment of religion; (2) the right of privacy, including issues of sexual practices, orientation, or reproduction; or (3) the right to marry without regard to sex or sexual orientation where based upon equal protection of the laws.
