Squirrel Selfies vs. Women and Babies?

Would you like to see a documentary about women and babies, or my selfies with squirrels?

We’ve all heard the critical news that Instagram may ban pop star Rihanna if she posts topless photos. We heard about a teen who attempted to take a selfie with a squirrel. We heard that James Franco kissed Lindsay Lohan and “it was lame.”

Self-described journalists who give us the juicy scoop on Rih Rih, Lo Lo and Franco, have buried the story of America’s biggest serial killer, Dr. Kermit Gosnell, and the testimonials of women who have had abortions. It’s time for a breath of fresh air.

An unwanted pregnancy changes a young woman’s life forever. None of us may judge women who face this challenge. However, we can all do more to support the women in this situation. Because, when a woman chooses life and gives her child up for adoption, she is nurturing her own body and mind.

Abortion is not a natural or healthy way to “deliver” a child. Thus, if a woman can carry her baby to term, she will reap life-long physical and mental rewards. Many women will continue to choose abortion due to financial, cultural or emotional pressures unless we do a better job of proffering kindness, hope and resources.

Some feminists champion a “woman’s right to choose” while curiously fighting prolife groups that simply want women to have access to all of the facts about abortion’s side affects. These so-called “women’s rights advocates” bar women from hearing the testimonials from women who have had abortions. If we care about women, why not let women hear all sides so they can truly make a choice?

On behalf of myself, my girlfriends and all young women, I want to promote a culture where every young woman has access to all the information about abortion’s side effects. Which is why I need you to help me spread the word about two powerful new documentaries.

Independent filmmakers are raising funds on Indiegogo to make the Gosnell Movie. Gosnell is a villain. His story must be told in the powerful format of motion picture.

Dr. Gosnell is an abortionist who was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 2013 for murdering seven newborn (live birth) babies and at least one pregnant mother.

District Attorney Seth Williams described Gosnell’s actions thus: He “induced labor, forced the live birth of viable babies in the sixth, seventh, eighth month of pregnancy and then killed those babies by cutting into the back of the neck with scissors and severing their spinal cord.”

Greedy Gosnell preyed on the mother, Karnamaya Mongar, 41, and ushered her into his abortion clinic after two other abortion clinics refused to perform the operation because she was so far along.

Racism, sexism and child-labor violations were par for the course in Gosnell’s clinic.

Mongar had spent 20 years in a Nepal refugee camp before coming to the U.S. Because of Gosnell, she only spent four months in America. Gosnell’s nurses testified that he took better care of white patients than minority patients, justifying his racism as: “That’s the way it is.”

The day that Karnamaya Mongar went into cardiac arrest, Gosnell had his “expert medical staff” on-hand, namely a 15-year-old teenager named Ashley Baldwin. Instead of hiring qualified medical experts, Gosnell worked Baldwin to the bone (50 hours a week) so that he could make the maximum amount of money possible. Baldwin helped with delivery when Gosnell was gone, performed procedures, ultrasounds and intravenously sedated patients. He essentially lied to Ashley’s mother and said that a “grandfather clause” allowed him to bypass certifying his staff. A real pimp.

Lynda Williams, 44 testified that she worked for Gosnell. She said that if patients complained about the pain (his medications often failed), he would just give their legs a whack. And if a baby was born alive, she said Gosnell would order her to get out the sheers. ‘I only do what I’m told to do,' she told the jury. 'What I was told to do was snip their neck.’

We also need to spread objective hope and education, which is where “The 40 Film”comes in. An investigative and emotional movie spanning 40 years of legalized abortion, 40 lets us hear both sides of the story. We hear from women who genuinely believe that abortion is a moral option as well as those who have experienced abortion first-hand.

40 answers the most salient arguments from the pro-choice movement and also humanizes the women who have made the choice to abort, and regret it years later. 40 gives us new insight into young people—the Millennials who are essentially (according to Pew’s latest research) no more “pro-choice” than their parents. 40 shows us how many young people are taking it upon themselves to champion a culture that appreciates life from conception through natural death. You can learn more about 40 and how to bring it to a theatre near you here.

The federal government has no business involving itself in abortion or marriage. Likewise journalists could use their storytelling abilities to enhance society instead of handing the microphone to celebrities who kiss and tell. The Gosnell Movie and 40 are an answer to awakening a culture of life, hope, health, kindness, and genuine choice.

This thread is for the birds!

I'd like to thank the United States Government for protecting me and my kind.

You see, 40 years ago, my odds of making it out of the egg, alive, were very poor; about 80% of us died.

But a lady discovered our plight and wrote a book that addressed our problem,

and, in 1972, a law was ammended protecting us even further. (http://www.fws.gov/midwest/eagle/protect/laws.html)

What I find strange is that the same government passed a law the very next year that allowed for killing

of unborn, and apparently unwanted, humans. Little ones still nestled safely in their Mother's womb.

Around 25% of them are dying before birth - on average nearly 3,300 - every day of the year.

I hear that by now, somewhere around 55 MILLION of them have perished.

Wouldn't that kind of mess up the humans plans for growth, and welfare, and

retirement?

Strange birds; these Homo Sapiens. Perhaps they'll come to their senses

before they are ALL dead!
