Springfield, IL (LifeNews.com) -- Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich may resign or be kicked out of the governor's office for charges that he tried to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat to the highest bidder. However, a leading pro-life advocate alleges that Planned Parenthood may have received a Blagojevich kickback as well...

LONDON, December 5, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The chief ethicist for the diocese of London in Ontario Canada recently admitted to LifeSiteNews.com in an interview that St. Joseph's Catholic Hospital in London has been performing "early induction" procedures in cases of diagnosed lethal fetal anomalies for twenty years, under his ethical direction. While Fr. Michael Prieur attempted to justify "early induction" for lethal fetal anomaly as not being abortion, the procedure has been condemned as illicit by the US Bishops' Doctrinal Committee and called "direct abortion" by the National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC)...

And I think that was a mistake, and I think the American people understood that that was a mistake. And as a constitutional law professor, I knew better,
The fact that the Constitution does not directly address murder DOES NOT make murder Constitutional.
Socialized healthcare ala Groningen Protocol, i’ve screamed this since way back (but this and the other branches of the eugenics tree were ignored, and of course I wear a tin foil hat).
The people have no clue who they elected. BTW, he’s the official president elect after Monday re: electoral college.
OT: You know... people thought I was kidding when I mentioned Felos did a lot of work in Hawaii as well.
BTW, when does BO plan to have a family memorial service for grandma?
The better question is WHEN did she really die because the timing seemed far too convenient.
These vultures are gathering hoping to feed on the corpse of American right to life. We must prove that our rights are not dead!

How long before that “protocol” is extended to those of us deemed living a life of excessive suffering?
This is how the health care crisis will be solved - through euthanasia.
Both thread by me.
If you have ever watched a loved one die, then you know that in the end most lives are narrowed down to a place of unrelenting suffering.
Terminal illness can be fought for so long, but in the end there is pain, grief, distress - and not much else.
Death can be a relief because it brings a release from all that torment. I would guess that anyone who has ever seen a loved one enduring the final days and weeks of their life will have watched Sky TV's Right To Die? with nothing but sympathy for Craig and Mary Ewert.
Viewers saw Craig, desperately sick with motor neurone disease, sipping a fatal dose of tranquillisers in a Swiss clinic as Mary sat by his side, saying goodbye...

It is traditional, when mounting a coup, to seize control of the airwaves. Last week the supporters of euthanasia did their best. Mondays Panorama was entirely given over to a report on this topic by the Lothians MSP, Margo MacDonald; but since Ms MacDonald has already launched a campaign to legalise assisted suicide north of the border, the BBCs attempt to promote her as an impartial reporter was disingenuous, at best.
Two days later, Sky broadcast Right to Die, a 90-minute documentary that told the story of Craig Ewert, a 59-year-old Yorkshire-based American, who had travelled to the Dignitas clinic in Zurich to be humanely put down. As advertised, we were not spared the moment of Mr Ewerts death.
The very phrase right to die is a fashionable piece of nonsense. How can we be said to require a right to something that is absolutely unavoidable, whether we want it or not? It is not the right to die that campaigners such as Margo MacDonald want, but the right to be killed at a time of their own choosing. This is why some doctors, less sensitive to public queasiness, refer to the practice of assisted dying as therapeutic killing...

November 4th was not just a historic date in history because of the election of the nations first black president; it also marked a new division that was established in our country between those who have consciences formed in the truth and those who dont. I have constantly spoken of the need to battle for Americas very soul, but I am seeing that there is more at stake here: we are engaged in a battle to define reality, and the outcome of that battle undoubtedly determines the fate of souls...

When Christian actor Eduardo Verastegui devoted his career to serving God, he had no idea what might come out of his decision. He certainly couldnt have imagined that his widely acclaimed movie Bella would literally save lives and souls. But thats the story that author Tim Drake tells so well in his book Behind Bella.
As the book shows, Gods hand was on Eduardo and on the making of the movie from the very beginning. To prepare for his role in Bella, Eduardo wanted to find a real-life Ninathe co-lead in the film struggling with her unwanted pregnancy. So Eduardo paid a visit to a local abortion clinic.
Outside the clinic, a Mexican couple who had come to have an abortion recognized Eduardo from his acting days in Mexico. They approached him, and soon Eduardo found himself counseling them against having an abortion and telling them about the story of Bella. They talked for over an hour and on the phone in the days ahead.
A few months later, Eduardo received a phone call from the young man. He explained that his girlfriend had just given birth to the babya boyand he asked for permission to name him Eduardo...
Thanks for the ping!
That seems cynical of you, wagglebee, but I must admit now that you say so, I would not put it past him.
Remember the photo on drudge and everywhere? A noble but sad looking Obama, gazing into the distance, a single tear running down his cheek.
I commented to a friend what an obvious ploy it was to generate sympathy, and he said, “Well, why wouldn’t he cry more then?” I said, “This is exactly right, he looks more manly this way, deeply saddened, but in control.” My friend agreed.
Whoever said Madison Avenue here, exactly right.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Barack Obama has promised he will force taxpayers to fund abortions and a leading pro-life group has launched a new effort to stop it. The Susan B. Anthony List is hoping to build support for a Senate filibuster to stop various moves to fund abortions with public money.
The group calls Obama's promise to fund abortions and send more tax dollars to Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion business, an abortion industry bailout...

The Netherlands, like most other European countries, has very strict gun control laws. Nonetheless, the Dutch murder rate is almost six times as great as the United States' overall homicide rate.

Think of the 2008 election as Katrina for the pro-life movement. What do you do after a disaster? You see what the damage is, and what your assets are. You marshal your assets to try to rebuild. The Register has listed we still have a pro-life majority as a major asset. This prompted readers to ask, What pro-life majority? Susan Wills spells out the polling data on abortion, and explains how pro-abortion folks manipulate it in last years The Slippery Art of Abortion Polling. Heres how we know that Roe is not supported by 66% of Americans, she writes. Polls with carefully-worded, neutral questions about allowing abortion in identified circumstances show minority and waning support for the policy of Roe. These are better measures of public opinion on whether abortion law should change. An April 2005 poll by the Polling Company inc., offering respondents six choices, found only 10% support for what Roe actually does. Similarly, an April 2004 poll by Zogby showed 56% of Americans taking a strongly pro-life position (18% never legal; 15% legal for mothers life only; 23% legal only for mothers life/rape/incest). Younger Americans were even more pro-life than older Americans: among 18-29-year-olds, 60% took a pro-life position, including 26% who said never legal. See more context in the article. We see hope in those numbers but only if we work confidently to deepen and broaden our majority. We arent a desperate, dying movement. We are a movement that has been winning hearts and minds.
