The Ohio branch of the leading player in the nation's abortion industry, Planned Parenthood, is blaming the callers for a fiasco in which a local official was caught on tape agreeing to take a donation designated to eliminate blacks.
WND has reported previously on the work of Lila Rose, editor of the Los Angeles-based Advocate, who has conducted several undercover investigations of Planned Parenthood..........

With the clock running down on a long-fought primary, NARAL Pro-Choice America leaders sent state affiliates reeling this week by endorsing Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. It was seen as a gratuitous slap in the face to a longtime ally, and it sparked a fear even closer to home: that the move will alienate donors loyal to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.
Many on this weeks conference call were stunned on learning the news, making urgent pleas for the group to remain neutral until after the June 3 Democratic primaries....

Apologies to Dawnsblood for crediting wagglebee with the last thread link. Off to get second cup of coffee.
It gets worse... It was narses who pinged me. Thanks, narses. Now I need two more cups of coffee.
Planned Parenthood and other promoters of abortion are on or near college campuses preaching their message of death. But a student pro-life group is moving to counter that.
In response to the campus prominence of Planned Parenthood, Students for Life of America is hiring field agents who will have the responsibility of forming chapters on campuses in their region. The organization will help to make sure counseling and services are available to women that will convince them to have their babies.....

Sorry it has taken so long to get this update posted. I needed to resize some photos before I could post. Husband, jkphoto, and I drove up to Fresno this afternoon to see Jim and I am very pleased to report that he is doing great! He was sitting in his chair (for the first time since his surgery) and we distinctly saw the same twinkle in his eyes, the same smiles and the same upbeat sense of humor that we have come to expect from our "Jim". We didn't want to monopolize his time, so only spent about a half an hour with him. We met his brother and another visitor who was just leaving when we arrived. Jim says he is not taking the morphine anymore and is in absolutely no pain at all. He is anxious, of course, to be released (but, IMHO, he is doing so very well under the good care he is receiving at the VA hospital that I think he should stay as long as they will keep him. LOL). His nurse was in and out of his room several times during out brief visit. He is certainly getting lots of attention and TLC there. Of course, he is so very grateful to each and every one of you for your concern and prayers. He said he fired up his laptop and came to the thread for awhile today, but there is apparently something wrong with his monitor......he said it just keeps fogging up on him and he just had to close it up and put it away for awhile. ;-) He says he will be posting an update soon. Later, after we said goodbye to Jim, we met up with our good buddy Syncro at the Macaroni Grill and had a nice dinner. Syncro then headed over to see Jim and we left for the 45 minute drive home. There is not much else to report, but I did take some photos, inside and out, of the military tributes, posters and artwork, etc., at the VA hospital and thought I would post some of them here along with the flowers in Jim's room. I just can't stress enough how great Jim is doing. That's the power of prayer! 1,878 posted on Monday, May 19, 2008 12:00:43 AM by Mama_Bear (My heroes wear camouflage!)

Phoenix, AZ (LifeNews.com) -- Last week, the Arizona Senate approved a patient care bill that offers protection for patients like Terri Schiavo who are unable to communicate their medical treatment desires. The Senate voted for the patient care measure on a 17-9 vote on May 12. Cathi Herrod, the president of the Center for Arizona Policy, tells LifeNews.com the bill is based on the real-life story of Jesse Ramirez. On October 19, only months after being nearly dehydrated to death when his feeding tube was removed, Jesse Ramirez walked out of the Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix on his own two legs. Ramirez is lucky to be alive. Early last June, a mere one week after a serious auto accident left him unconscious, his wife Rebecca and doctors decided he would never recover and pulled his feeding tube. He went without food and water for five long days. The bill requires the court to issue an order to restore food and fluid to a patient if it has been improperly removed. The Senate recognized Jesse and his family, who were present in the gallery for the vote. The bill now goes to the House for a final vote.

Our next Empowering Women Lecture is Sept. 16, featuring Kathryn Hinsch of the Women's Bioethics Project. The rapid advance of biotechnology is quickly outpacing our ability as a society to absorb the effect it will have on our lives. From stem-cell research to the Schiavo case, bioethics has created a whole new world of issues and questions. Dr. Heather Cunliffe, cancer research scientist for TGEN and YWCA board member, will join Kathryn in the lecture and discussion. This will be very interesting conversation.

Jack Straw, the justice secretary, has ordered an inquest into 10 suspicious deaths at an old peoples convalescent unit in Hampshire.
The patients were among a group of 92 who died unexpectedly after being given abnormally large doses of morphine and other drugs at the Gosport War Memorial hospital. Their relatives believe their deaths were a form of euthanasia............

LONDON, May 16, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Anglican Church is the perfect vehicle for creating a new gay Christianity by virtue of the fact that it is the only church that accepts the logical contradiction of asserting both the sanctity of human life and the existence of a right to abortion.
Episcopal bishop Gene Robinson, whose ordination to the episcopate has precipitated the ongoing schism between traditionally Christian Anglicans and its ultra-liberal, secularized branches, is in London to talk about his vision for the homosexual future of the Anglican Church. He was visiting and promoting his cause in preparation for the upcoming Lambeth Conference in July...........

New Zealand police are on the trail of a woman who is alleged to have helped a sick Aucklander die in return for a fee.
Right-to-die campaigners have made a complaint to police about an American calling herself Susan Wilson. They believe she flew into New Zealand late last year and gave life-terminating drugs to a woman who was battling depression but not terminally ill, and walked away $12,000 better off.....

One other subordinate task of managed democracy is to keep the citizenry preoccupied with peripheral and/or private conditions of human life so that they fail to focus on the widespread corruption and betrayal of the public trust. In Wolin's words, "The point about disputes on such topics as the value of sexual abstinence, the role of religious charities in state-funded activities, the question of gay marriage, and the like, is that they are not framed to be resolved. Their political function is to divide the citizenry while obscuring class differences and diverting the voters' attention from the social and economic concerns of the general populace." Prominent examples of the elite use of such incidents to divide and inflame the public are the Terri Schiavo case of 2005, in which a brain-dead woman was kept artificially alive, and the 2008 case of women and children living in a polygamous commune in Texas who were allegedly sexually mistreated.......

Just as mixing religion and science in dealing with issues like abortion or stem cell research makes for bad science (as in the case of Terry Schiavo); so mixing religion and politics makes for bad politics. The Arab-Israeli conflict is fundamentally political in nature, not religious.
American presidents, when they travel abroad, rarely take partisan political potshots at their domestic opponents. But this president, as in everything else to do with partisanship, breaks the mold. So he engaged in an unprecedented and distorted attack on Barack Obamas attempt at renewing a U.S. foreign policy which adheres to a more traditional American sense of prudence and moderation:
