    Can you imagine not giving babies their basic human rights, no matter how they entered our world? My name is Gianna Jessen, born 31 years ago after a failed abortion. I’m a survivor, as are many others…but if Barack Obama had his way, I wouldn’t be here. Four times, Barack Obama voted to oppose a law to protect babies left to die after a failed abortion. Senator Obama, please support born alive infant protections. I’m living proof these babies have a right to live.”

    On Sean Hannity's radio station today, he interviewed Gianna Jessen, a 31-year old woman, who survived a botched abortion. Gianna was burned alive in her mother's womb from saline, but to the surprise of everyone, she survived. Gianna says: “If Barack Obama had his way I would not be here.”

    The Wall Street Journal ^ | 6/5/08 | DANIEL ALLOTT
    According to Barack Obama, Gianna Jessen shouldn't exist. Miss Jessen is an exquisite example of what antiabortion advocates call a "survivor." Well into her third trimester of pregnancy, Gianna's biological mother was injected with a saline solution intended to induce a chemical abortion at a Los Angeles County abortion center. Eighteen hours later, and precious minutes before the abortionist's arrival, Gianna emerged. Premature and with severe injuries that resulted in cerebral palsy. But alive. Had the abortionist been present at her birth, Gianna would have been killed, perhaps by suffocation. As it was, a startled nurse called an ambulance, and...

    OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Four months after he was declared brain dead and doctors were about to remove his organs for transplant, Zach Dunlap says he feels "pretty good." Dunlap was pronounced dead Nov. 19 at United Regional Healthcare System in Wichita Falls, Texas, after he was injured in an all-terrain vehicle accident. His family approved having his organs harvested. As family members were paying their last respects, he moved his foot and hand. He reacted to a pocketknife scraped across his foot and to pressure applied under a fingernail. After 48 days in the hospital, he was allowed to...

    San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 19 January 2008 | Anastasia Ustinova,Sabin Russell
    Thousands march against abortion in S.F. Thousands of abortion protesters marched along San Francisco's waterfront Saturday, hectored by a smaller band of abortion rights supporters, as both sides marked the impending anniversary of the Supreme Court decision that established those rights 35 years ago. Although passions ran high in both camps, the event - what is becoming an annual trek by the anti-abortion movement into what they consider the heart of abortion rights territory - was peaceful. At least 10,000 abortion opponents were bused into the city from all over California, and from outside the state, for a morning rally...

  • The Clear and Convincing Evidence of Terri Schiavo - NOT!!!

    Even if some believe that evidence found in the 2000 trial was clear and convincing evidence that Terri would not have wanted the feeding tube, Judge Greer’s decision and the weighing of the evidence was AT ODDS and CONTRADICTORY to numerous court decision made in similiar cases across the country. This is a legal review from a law professor at Notre Dame. In it, he explains the veracity of Terri’s wishes from a legal prospective. His end conclusion is that the evidence used to condenmn Terri to death was hardly clear and convincing and was clearly against settled case law...

    NEW YORK - A brain-damaged man who could communicate only with slight eye or thumb movements for six years can speak again, after stimulating electrodes were placed in his brain, researchers report. The 38-year-old also regained the ability to chew and swallow, which allows him to be spoon-fed, rather than relying on nourishment through a tube in his belly. The man's brain was injured during an assault, he spent six years with only occasional signs of consciousness and no useful movement of his limbs. In an experiment, researchers implanted electrodes in his brain for a procedure called deep brain stimulation,...

  • I tried twice to abort my baby - but I'm delighted I failed

    Paul Robinson has much to be thankful for. She lives in a £500,000 house, drives a Mercedes and has two beautiful children - Ryan, nine, and Tara, five. She is also glowing, for beneath her fashionable smock Paula, 40, is pregnant for the third time with a healthy new baby. But beneath this seemingly happy picture lies an unpalatable truth: shockingly, Paula has twice tried to abort this most recent pregnancy. Indeed, having survived such an assault, even Paula now refers to her previously unwanted child as a "little miracle". But the story of how this tiny dot has fought...

    CHANDLER, Arizona, June 28, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Written off by doctors as a hopeless “vegetable”, an Arizona man would not now be on his way to recovery from an accident caused by a marital quarrel if not for his family’s unrelenting struggle for his life. The Arizona Republic reports that on Wednesday, Jesse Ramirez, awoke from his nearly month long persistent vegetative state (PVS) and now “can hug and kiss, nod his head, answer yes and no questions, give a thumbs-up sign and sit in a chair.” If not for the past few weeks’ legal battles that ended Tuesday with...

Railwayman Jan Grzebski fell into a coma after he was hit by a train in 1988, the private channel Polsat said. In an interview, Grzebski said that he owed his survival to his wife, Gertruda. "She's the one who always took care of me. She saved my life," he said. Grzebski was a father of four at the time of the accident. He...

Nothing can change it. No list of "facts" will ever change it. And I put "facts" in quotes because most of the so-called "facts" posted here were in fact "opinion." Whether it was a poster's opinion, a reporter's opinion, her husband's opinion, a relative's opinion, a supporter's opinion, a detractor's opinion, a politician's opinion, a lawyer's opinion, a doctor's opinion, the president's opinion, the governor's opinion, or even...

    Thoughts of woman in 'waking coma' revealed Brain scans of vegetative patient ignites debate over her awareness. Michael Hopkin Neuroscientists have reignited the debate over whether patients in a vegetative state are conscious of their surroundings, by claiming that a woman in such a 'waking coma' can respond to verbal commands. The researchers say that brain scans show that she can selectively think of performing certain actions, such as playing tennis, on request. The British-led research team made the discovery after examining the brain of a severely brain-damaged patient who had been in a vegetative state — defined as a...

Oe sees his writing as a healing process. Thirty-two years ago, when his son was born, Oe and his...
