Planned Parenthood exposed
Saturday, July 24th, 2010Supreme Injustice
Thursday, July 1st, 2010Elena Kagan not only supported partial birth abortion, also known as killing-a-baby-as-he-or-she-being-born, she did it outright dishonestly. But who would doubt lying when murder is openly embraced? From Worldmagblog:
When Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan was a domestic policy adviser at the Clinton White House, she wrote a memo in the midst of the debate over Congress issuing a ban on partial-birth abortion. Her 1996 memo cites a statement from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), a medical group that eventually opposed a ban on partial-birth abortion, which reads: (more…)
Blood Money
Thursday, June 10th, 2010Here is a trailer for a new documentary Blood Money about the enormous racket that is the abortion industry. For those who are aware that there are approximately 3500 abortions each day in our land of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, think about the monetary implications: 3500 abortions times $650 (the cost of an abortion 12 weeks and under according to my neighborhood Planned Parenthood office) times 365 days equals over $830 million each year. No wonder PP is such an enormously profitable “non-profit”.
Kagan Trails
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010Elena Kagan lacks the common paper trail that leads to the Supreme Court, but she has left plenty of other tracks. William Saunders comments on her philosophy to enforce one’s ideal democratic law from the bench, rather than apply the current legislated law:
When presenting the Peter Gruber prize at Harvard Law School in 2006 to retired Israeli Supreme Court judge, Aharon Barak, she said that he “is my judicial hero. He is the judge who has best advanced democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and justice.” In 2006, Barak published a book detailing his judicial philosophy, The Role of a Judge in Democracy. As distinguished thinkers from Robert Bork to Richard Posner have noted, it is simply a handbook for judicial activism, in which the judge becomes a Platonic Guardian who makes all the tough decisions for society in accord with what he things are “human rights” and “justice.” This is simply “government by the judiciary,” and that is not part of our own Constitution.

Self-Accredited Abortionists
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010Planned Parenthood receives over $27 million each year of taxpayer dollars in Washington State. Now they are about to about to accredit medical practices in their own clinics. From the Family Policy Institute of Washington:
Every day in Washington State, people have surgery in office-based facilities. Hundreds of offices perform procedures like oral surgery, foot surgery, and plastic surgery outside hospital facilities.
While I am not personally aware of any crisis, there is apparently concern about lack of regulation of these facilities. Enough concern, in fact, that within the Washington State Department of Health, the Medical Quality Assurance Commission (MQAC) is drafting new rules to create standards for office-based surgery centers.
Among the provisions is an accreditation requirement for the office in which the surgery takes place.
Somewhere along the way, the abortion industry realized that they were going to be included in these regulations. And that’s where this story gets interesting, because that’s when the MQAC started treating people differently. After working for nearly two years to create uniformity for all office-based surgery centers, the MQAC inserted language that would discriminate against medical facilities simply because they do not provide abortions:
“In lieu of accreditation or certification by one of the above-listed entities, facilities limiting office-based surgery to abortions or abortion-related services may be accredited or certified by either the Planned Parenthood Federation of America or the National Abortion Federation.”

Loving the Blind, Deaf and Disabled
Friday, April 23rd, 2010Twenty-week ultrasounds are incredible. A Beating heart, kidneys, hundreds of bones, eyelids, and perhaps most striking, personality. My first kid was running around the wall. My second had her legs crossed. My third, today, gave a huge yawn. It’s horrifying to think that it is here when babies with down syndrome and other disabilities are rejected and murdered by doctors who make a lot of money doing so. Here is a good post about the appalling abortion statistics for handicapped children by John Knight, and here is a video featuring John talking about his wonderful son Paul who was born blind and autistic.
Generational Education
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010One of the most important truths for Christians in our day to burn into their minds is the religious nature of education. Not the religious nature of some education or the religious nature of private education or the religious of explicitly religious education, but the religious nature of all education, period.
The is a particularly difficult truth not on account of its clarity but rather because of the cost of believing it. For Christians who want to think at all, the public education system is a wreck, and not simply because of the literacy levels of graduating seniors (though that ought to be enough). A seventeen year old can’t get her ears pierced with permission from her parents, but she can get a complimentary cab ride and abortion under the supervision her high school, without her parents ever knowing about it. This is the law in Washington State, and the head of the clinic at Ballard High School, with whom I just spoke, defends it as a “best practice”. The law allows it and therefore the high school enforces it. If, as the child’s parent, you disagree and insist the school inform you regarding your child’s abortion, too bad. You have the right to know about ear piercing, but the death of the fetus is none of your business unless your child decides to tell you. Calm down and be assured there are laws about these sorts of things. (more…)
Secrecy & Transportation for Abortions from Ballard High School
Monday, March 29th, 2010After taking a pregnancy test at the school clinic, a Ballard High School student was given a pass and sent off in a cab to have an abortion. In case you were worried, the school doesn’t run the clinic–Swedish Medical Center does.
T.J. Cosgrove of the King County Health Department, which administers the school-based programs for the health department, says it’s always best if parents are involved in their children’s health care, but don’t always have a say.
Sixteen-year-old kids can’t get a drink, but they can be sent off to have their unborn children terminated without their parents ever finding out. I’ve heard it well said that Roe v. Wade established not just the abortion of children, but the abortion of the family since fathers legally have no say over the fate of the children. Now it is plain that mothers have also been aborted. The state can send kids from their “in loco parentis” education institution to get an abortion, subsidize the trip, and no parent ever finds out.

Obama & Planned Parenthood
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010From Charmaine Yoest of Americans United for Life:
Yesterday, President Obama released his health care proposal…with no mention of the Life issue. Remember, the President promised you that “no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and federal conscience laws will remain in place.” In a meeting last fall, I told the White House very clearly that unless they include specific legislative language banning the use of federal funds for abortion, they will be establishing taxpayer funding for abortion. The President knows what he needs to do to keep his promise and has done just the opposite.
The Washington Examiner reported yesterday that the President and his staff have met at least four times with Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, but that the President has not spoken to Congressman Bart Stupak – sponsor of the Stupak Amendment that protected Life in the House of Representatives health care bill – since September 18th, 2009. There is only one conclusion to be drawn; the Obama Administration has been working hand in hand with the pro-abortion lobby.
Evolving Prayer Breakfast
Friday, April 10th, 2009Earlier I commented on Obama’s hypocritical statement in February at the National Prayer Breakfast: “There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being. This much we know.”
Today I came across this statement by Mother Teresa from the National Prayer Breakfast in 1995. What a contrast.
I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, bemused it is a war against the child–a direct killing of the innocent child–murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?… By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems. And by abortion, the father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. The father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching the people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.
