10 FALLACIES IN THE ABORTION DEBATE

1. The foetus cannot be taken seriously as a person

Before I knew much about the abortion debate, I was entirely uninterested in the unborn baby. When it was mentioned, I accepted uncritically that the "foetus" was just some sort of overdeveloped sperm of no value or worth. Pro-abortion rhetoric convinced me that the baby in the womb was somehow an entirely different class of human from you or me, as though the mere act of leaving the womb and inhaling oxygen conferred humanity on someone. I'm not sure I considered it rationally at the time, but I supported abortion because I had been led to believe there was nothing at stake in the destruction of a human foetus...

'Anne, if you drink this you will die': Why we stood by and allowed our mother to commit suicide

Sophie Pandit breaks into a smile as she recalls a nervous meeting with Julie Walters last summer. The actress plays Sophie’s mother in a new film and they met after Sophie was invited on set during rehearsals. ‘Don’t worry, I won’t do your mum with a Brummie accent,’ Julie had said mischievously, by way of an ice-breaker.

Sophie knew her mother would have approved. Throughout her life, Anne Turner was known for unleashing her wicked sense of humour to diffuse tension in difficult situations. This never stopped, even in the hours before her death.

Last summer, Sophie, 44, herself an actress, her brother Edward, 42, and sister Jessica, 40, were approached by the BBC, who wanted to make a film about their mother’s extraordinary final years of life...

Note: One of the judges at Fla SC is getting a hero's award. I believe R. Fred Lewis voted for Terri to die.

Steve E. should followup as R. Fred Lewis has a profoundly disabled daughter who is loved and cared for yet he denied the Schindler's the same????????

Homicidal hypocrites in Fla get hero's awards.

Eluana Update

Italian Clinic Offering to Kill Eluana Englaro in Euthanasia Bid Changes Course

Rome, Italy (LifeNews.com) -- An Italian clinic that offered to help Eluana Englaro's father take her life after he won the right from courts to euthanize her has backed down. The news follows the release of a letter signed by more than 700 Italian doctors and medical professionals who oppose ending her life prematurely.

The government-funded medical clinic in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region had offered to help kill Englaro after no hospitals or medical centers in the Lombardy region, where she lives, would pull her feeding tube.

However, the facility has backtracked following the issue of a guideline from Health Minister Maurizio Sacconi saying the removing of her feeding tube would be illegal if done following a medical transfer.

The clinic told the ANSA news agency that it was forced to withdraw the euthanasia offer following the new order.

"If the clinic were to offer hospitality to Eluana for the court ruling (to be carried out), the minister could take steps that would put the running of the clinic, and the jobs of 300 people, at risk," it explained in a statement...

Obama Wrongly Claims Embryonic Stem Cell Research Will Cure Alzheimer's

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Over the weekend, incoming president Barack Obama talked about how he'll make Congress overturn President Bush's stem cell research policy. In his comments, Obama wrongly indicated embryonic stem cell research can cure Alzheimer's even though scientists say that's not the case.

In his comments to CNN, he said that "on embryonic stem cell research ... there is a moral and ethical mechanism to ensure that people with Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's can actually find potentially some hope out there."

However, leading scientists say that embryonic stem cell research will likely never yield a cure for Alzheimer's...

Best Pro-Life Response to Obama – Respect the President, Sure, But don’t Give in “One Single Inch”

Exclusive Commentary by Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer
President, Human Life International

January 19, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Our hope is in the Lord and His goodness! Indeed, that hope is needed in a time when very dark clouds of abortion are gathering over the nation’s Capitol. It is evident to all who have eyes to see that those storm clouds will unleash a torrent of attacks upon life, marriage and family all over the world, and Human Life International (HLI) is bracing for the worst.

Barack Obama's dismal record and rhetoric on life issues truly indicates how he feels about these critical matters and what he plans to do once in office. Our nation just elected a man who, if it can be believed, is more extreme in his anti-life stance than such pro-abortion stalwarts as Barbara Boxer and Nancy Pelosi. Until he was in the presidential campaign, he didn't even pretend to care about the opinions of those who believe every human life is sacred. We can expect more of that callous disregard for pro-life sentiments in areas of his administration which are more shielded from public opinion, such as foreign policy and the UN.

So what is the best response of the pro-life movement to the threat posed by an Obama administration?

First, all organizations that defend human life need to re-focus and recommit to their core missions. We at Human Life International will intensify our missionary efforts in other countries to thwart the Culture of Death through education, training, and activism while communicating with our supporters in the States the human cost of America's most destructive export - its anti-life agenda.

The Hour Is Late [self-extermination of entire nations}

Ladies and gentleman,

May I have your attention please? Put down the birth control. You heard me. Put it down and walk away.

I don’t like to be harsh, but the hour is late. The citizens of many countries belong on the endangered species because they are dying out. Never before in the history of the world have so many countries lost so many people without disease or war to blame. This loss is by choice and it’s downright suicidal...

Very, very sad.

Eluana Englaro Update

The death cultists are lining up to execute Eluana.

Thread by me.

Piedmont Governor Offers to “Help Eluana Englaro Die”

TURIN, Italy, January 21, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The governor of Piedmont, one of the 20 regions of Italy, has said that should Eluana Englaro’s family choose to send her to a clinic there, there would be no impediment to their plans to kill her by dehydration in accordance with a decision by the Italian high court. This offer immediately follows the announcement of the withdrawal of a similar offer to help kill Eluana by a clinic in the city of Undine.

Piedmont governor Mercedes Bresso said “if it were asked,” the region would make a facility available to Beppino Englaro, Eluana’s father, to carry out the sentence of the courts.

“There would not be a problem. It's right to worry about killing people who are no longer of use, but in this case there has been a long procedure and the court has made a decision which took all the issues into account,” said Bresso.

Italy’s highest appeals court ruled in November in favour of Beppino Englaro’s desire to end his daughter’s life by removing her food and hydration tube. Eluana Englaro, 38, who is often referred to in the media as the “Italian Terri Schiavo,” has been in a state of diminished consciousness since a car accident in 1992. Health-care providers in the Lombardy region, where Eluana is being cared for, and the nuns who operate the care home in Lecco where she lives, have refused to comply with the court’s ruling.

At the same time, Managing Director Claudio Ricocbon of the Friulian care home in Undine said in a statement that his previous offer to allow the sentence to be carried out in his clinic must be withdrawn. Ricocbon said that the ongoing legal wrangling over the case, including possible lawsuits, put his care home at too much financial risk.

The statement said that a close examination of the “maze of laws” surrounding the case had led to the decision to withdraw the offer in order to protect the clinic and its 300 employees.

“Faced with this particular, concrete future,” Ricocbon said, the care home was therefore obliged to withdraw its “offer of care which had as its only aim the logistic support necessary for Mr. Beppino Englaro to carry out the wishes of his daughter.”

In December, Eluana was about to be transferred to the Friulian clinic, where a team of “external volunteers” was ready to carry out the sentence, when Health Minister Maurizio Sacconi issued a statement that the removal of feeding tubes from disabled patients was “illegal.” The transfer was halted and Eluana remains in the care of the nuns in Lecco.

The case of Eluana Englaro continues to make headlines and divide public opinion in Italy. In November, the Court of Cassation, Italy’s highest appeals court in Rome, ruled that Eluana could be dehydrated to death. Pro-life advocates fear that should the authorities allow Eluana to be killed the action would put at risk the lives of hundreds of other vulnerable patients and usher in legalised euthanasia by the ‘back door’ of court decisions. . .

Pope Benedict Gently Encourages Obama to Respect Life After Inauguration Day

The Vatican (LifeNews.com) -- Pope Benedict XVI gently encouraged new pro-abortion President Barack Obama to foster a respect for human life as president. The Catholic leader sent a telegram to the new president that didn't engage in negative rebuking of Obama's pro-abortion views but graciously prompted him to promote life.

The Pope sent his best wishes to Obama with an "assurance of my prayers that Almighty God will grant you unfailing wisdom and strength in the exercise of your high responsibilities."

The Vatican released the text of the missive, which the pontiff personally signed to the new American leader.

"Under your leadership may the American people continue to find in their impressive religious and political heritage the spiritual values and ethical principles," he wrote.

Those values, Pope Benedict said, "cooperate in the building of a truly just and free society, marked by respect for the dignity, equality and rights of each of its members, especially ... those who have no voice."
