Abortion Incorporated Honors "Social Justice Sisters"

 

Planned Parenthood recently honored abortion heroine Nancy Pelosi for her success in passing legislation that will dramatically expand abortion on demand in America, and provide federal funding of abortions, under the guise of "healthcare reform".

Apparently inspired by the fact that in creating this incredible windfall for the abortion industry Speaker Pelosi lied to every citizen in America, from members of her own party to the bishops of her church, Planned Parenthood created a brand new award for "practicing Catholic" Pelosi, the Champion of Women's Health Award. "She's walked across hot coals for us" beamed PP President Cecile Richards.

But Planned Parenthood has done a great disservice in not also recognizing the duplicitous efforts of a group of dedicated progressive Catholics who were instrumental in bringing home that wonderful windfall - the Social Justice Sisters.

Last night, Abortion Incorporated rectified this ungrateful lack of recognition. Read Abortion Inc Honors Social Justice Sisters

Vacation

 

The Radiant Cross blogs will be on vacation through July 25th.

 

Eighteen months into the most rabid pro-abortion administration in the dark history of Roe v Wade, the pro-life community has achieved what should have been unthinkable. For the first time since 1973, the majority of Americans stand for the right to life.


Undeterred, the proponents of the culture of death continue to bring the full force of the federal government, now at their disposal, to bear on those committed to overturning Roe.

So despite the efforts of millions of Americans, we are now witnessing a massive expansion of abortion services in our country, and tax are payers being forced to fund abortions, under despicable guise of "healthcare reform".

At some point the selfless giving in pro-life rallies, marches, seminars, webcasts, blogs, etc drains the last ounce of one's ability to pursue the good fight. It doesn't mean we are beaten. Far from it. We just need to step back, let it all go for a while and trade our yolk for His. Read Vacation

Euthanasia By Attrition

 

Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the pain killer." -  President Barack Obama

Barely three months after being bribed and threatened through congress, Obamacare is being exposed for the big lie it had always been. Health insurance premiums continue to increase, employer based plans are being discontinued, Obamacare taxes on business burden an already crippled economy, and not one uninsured American will be covered until 2014.

Socialized medicine has failed miserably in every country in which it has been implemented. And rationing of treatment, beginning with the elderly, is by economic necessity part and parcel of every government healthcare program in existence.

So it begins in America with Obamacare's well publicized $500 billion of Medicare cuts which will, in effect, lower the cost of Medicare simply by reducing the number of doctors willing or able to treat the elderly. Read Euthanasia By Attrition

Abortion Is Not A Political Issue

 

Our series of articles on Bringing Christians Home On Abortion is directed toward this year's crucial elections. Had just 10% of the Christians who voted for Barack Obama voted their Christian faith on abortion, America would be a different country today. Definitely something to think about.

Abortion has been sold to America as just about everything except what it really is. The taking of an innocent child's life.

Sister Carol Keehan

RE: The Cost Of Your Presidential Pen

Dear Sister Keehan

The fact that President Obama awarded you a Presidential Pen in recognition of your support for "healthcare reform", would seem to indicate that your public contradiction of the US Conference Of Catholic Bishops on the abortion language in the bill played an important part in making Obamacare the law of our land.

Last week, the USCCB issued a statement which pointed out that your open break with the bishops “lacked an understanding of these particular issues" and "resulted in confusion and a wound to Catholic unity".

Now, as the many evils nested in those thousands of pages of healthcare legislation are beginning to leak out, it may be an appropriate time for you, Sister Keehan, to reflect upon what your actions have wrought for the American people. Read The Cost Of A Presidential Pen

Prayers To End Abortion

 

This summer Father Frank Pavone of Priests For Life and Dr Alveda King will launch a series of Pro-Life Freedom Rides.

Active participation in events like the Pro-Life Freedom Rides, the semi-annual 40 Days For Life Campaigns and the annual March For Life in Washington is of tremendous importance in raising awareness of the plight of the hundreds of thousands of unborn children lost to the vacuums, surgical instruments and poisons of America's abortion mills each year. Americans are drawn into the pro-life community and money is raised to fund pro-life organizations.

But there are only a few such events each year, and most of us are unable to actively participate. We all, however, have access the most powerful weapon available in our struggle to overcome abortion. Prayer. Read Prayers to End Abortion

Abortion Is Not A Poverty Issue

 

In this article of our series on Bringing Christians Home On Abortion we will address a common position taken by pro-choice Christian organizations. Their overwhelming concern for the poor is considered to be a far more important Christian issue than abortion.

The gospels do recount Jesus' love for the poor and His admonitions to His followers to care for the poor. And all Christian denominations work to support the poor and to address the root causes of poverty. But Our Lord was equally concerned for the dignity of the poor and, without doubt, the fate of their souls. As in "Man does not live by bread alone".

Many, very well intentioned, pro-choice Christians have let themselves be led astray by the political argument that abortion is somehow a poverty issue. This "abortion benefits the poor" argument is, however, one which degrades women and families in poverty in the ugliest manner possible. Read Abortion Is Not A Poverty Issue

Small wonder Florida Governor Charlie Crist finds himself a politician without a party. A man lacking principles, convictions and integrity rarely has much of a crowd around him.

Well known as a flip-flopper and double talker, Crist exemplifies the bottom of the barrel politician who muddles his/her position on abortion in hopes of deceiving voters on both sides of the issue. The types are well known. Democrats who are "pro-choice, but not pro-abortion." Political flim flam. Voting for legislation that enables abortion is, of course, supporting abortion.

The spring 40 Days For Life Campaign begins on February 17. During last fall's campaign the lives of 571 babies were known to have been saved. With pro-life sentiment escalating in America, even happier results are expected from this spring's endeavor which will be conducted in 163 cities across America.

Undaunted by the opposition of the most pro-abortion administration in the history of Roe v Wade, the pro-life community continues to work tirelessly to the win the war against abortion One Baby At A Time.

Pro-Life Islam To Triumph?

 

Dr Michael Savage, PHD, seems to be the 800 pound conservative talk show host the talk radio industry pretends doesn’t exist. Many will point to Savage’s often harsh characterizations of other big name talk personalities. And during his occasional binges of megalomania, a little Savage can go a long way.

But at his best, Michael Savage’s insight, on almost any topic, is profound beyond anyone else’s analysis. During a monologue last week on the spread of Islam, Savage wondered if God really cares which religion ultimately triumphs? Comparing Christianity, Judaism and Islam to branches of the same corporation, Savage wonders if God really prefers one to another.

As believers in Christ, we know the answer. Or do we? Read Pro-Life Islam To Triumph?

The hardhearted zealotry of the Obama administration's pursuit of completely unrestricted abortion on demand has focused national attention on the stark realities of abortion as never before.

And as Barack Obama dropped all pretense of moderation on abortion upon assuming office, so began a resurgence of America's collective conscience.

This resurgence of America's conscience is especially evidenced by new laws being enacted in Nebraska and Missouri. Laws that just say no to Barack Obama and the hard core abortion lobby. Read The Resurgence Of America's Conscience

Planned Parenthood's "Happy" Guide To Aids

 

With the backing of the National Education Association, and a plethora of brought and paid for politicians, Planned Parenthood basically directs sex education programs in America's schools. Starting in kindergarten, Planned Parenthood's curriculum on human sexuality can be summed up in one sentence.

It's good to do it in the road with anyone, at anytime, for any reason.

PP's latest down and dirty how to guide, "Healthy, Happy and Hot" is directed at teenagers with the HIV. Sick, Irresponsible and Cold Blooded is a far more appropriate title for a pamphlet encouraging teenagers with the Aids Virus to get out there and enjoy their sexuality.

March 31st commemorates the 5th anniversary of the death of Terry Schindler. We do not use her married name Schiavo. It was her husband, Michael Schiavo, who fought in the courts to have Terri's feeding tube removed and have her starved and dehydrated to death. It took thirteen agonizing days for Terri to die in this manner. Armed guards kept anyone from even giving her cracked ice.

A circuit judge concluded that Terri's life lacked "quality" and ordered her death. Little did America realize at the time, that in 2010, a federal bureaucracy would acquire that same power. Read Terri Schindler Memorial

How much was that Stupak in the window? We may never know in total.

For a start, 48 hours prior to Bart Stupak's surrender of principles on abortion, three airports in his congressional district were awarded federal grants in excess of $700,000. Very likely, there were also some personal enticements involved.

But all in all, how much resistance could actually have been expected from a democratic congressman with a National Right To Life Committee rating of around 65%?

America's babies were abandoned on Sunday, and not just by Bart Stupak. When the "Executive Order" on abortion funding, which President Obama fabricated to give Stupak cover, is tossed on the first court challenge

Though lying directly to the US Conference Of Catholic Bishops may be taking it up a notch, misleading people over abortion is nothing new for Ms Speaker.

State "Interposition" To Roe v Wade

 

"Judicial Activism" has evolved into a commonly accepted practice in America's federal courts. Many liberal judges clearly feel empowered to create constitutional rights based upon their particular views of society's needs and ills. And the beginning of this corruption of our judiciary can be directly traced back to the 1973 Roe v Wade Supreme Court decision which created a non-existent right to abortion in America.

To anyone with a true understanding of the principals of the founding fathers, Roe v Wade is clearly unconstitutional because it denies an entire group of citizens, America's most helpless citizens, the fundamental right to life. But considering the current composition of the Supreme Court, and the political climate in Washington, Roe v Wade will likely stand for the foreseeable future.

So other paths must be pursued in defending the rights of the unborn, and a new avenue of attack was suggested by Rabbi Yehuda Levin during the 2010 March For Life in January. Read Interposition

Ample Time For Redemption

 

Nebraska democratic Senator Ben Nelson sold out. It's true and the pro-life community is disappointed, angered and despondent. Sen Nelson had repeatedly vowed that he would not vote for the senate version of "healthcare reform" unless the bill included strict language prohibiting the use of federal funds for abortion.

Instead, at the 11th hour, Senator Nelson caved. Not to pressure, but to temptation. A $100 million payoff to Nelson by way of a permanent exemption from increased state contributions to Medicaid for Nebraska.

Senator Nelson has been roundly castigated. And deservedly so. But he surely has heard our voices and now is the time to forgive. We all err, and we all succumb to temptation on occasion. And in Senator Nelson's case there is ample time for a generally staunch defender of the unborn to make amends and find redemption. Read Ample Time For Redemption

Coat Hanger Hysteria

 

Berkeley, CA has once again distinguished itself in the category of, well let's just say unseemly public behavior. The Berkley City Council, by a vote of 8 - 1, yesterday voted to send letters of displeasure to 20 democratic members of the US House Of Representatives who had voted in favor of the Stupak-Pitts Amendment to the House "healthcare reform" bill. The Stupak amendment prohibits tax payer funding of abortions.

Mixed in with the hundreds of thousands of other letters already pouring into the House expressing "displeasure" over you name it, the council's letters needed that extra Berkley touch to get the special attention correspondence from Berkley deserves. And when progressives have the need to express themselves on abortion they usually like to say it with coat hangers.

So with each unhappy letter, the Berkley City Council included a coat hanger. Sure, everyone gets the extremely clever idea. But this tasteless display of feminist effrontery says more about the bitter, obsessive nature of the abortion lobby than anything else. Read Coat Hanger Hysteria

It's Just Matthews Being Matthews

 

Catholic Chris Matthews must have been a hit around the OMSNBC water cooler Monday night. The abject rudeness and sarcasm with which Matthews conducted his interview with a Catholic bishop on the issue of abortion no doubt sent tingly sensations, similar to the ones Chris says he gets when Barack Obama speaks, up the legs of all the pro-abortion gang at the least watched "news" network on television.

Never mind that all the "hits" Matthews thinks, or at least hoped others would think, he scored against Bishop Thomas Tobin, Diocese of Providence, RI, were based upon false premises and liberal claptrap. With the country steadily moving against the liberal false idol of abortion, someone had to get on the air and take the Catholic Church down a peg or two.

Is The Catholic Church Finally Taking A Stand?

Bishop Tobin has not only called out Rhode Island Congressman Patrick Kennedy on Kennedy's criticism of the US Conference Of Catholic Bishops stated opposition to abortion funding in pending "healthcare reform" legislation.

Bishop Tobin has also made it crystal clear to Kennedy that his arrogant defiance of the Church's Catechism on the subject of abortion "is unacceptable to the Church and scandalous to many of our members. It absolutely diminishes your communion with the Church". Though not officially barring Kennedy from the Sacrament, Bishop Tobin states that Kennedy, and other "pro-choice Catholic" politicians, should not receive communion.

Stopping The Abortion Mandate Means Stopping The Bill

 

The Pelosicare version of the president's healthcare takeover bill is scheduled for vote on Friday. Speaker Pelosi's pride and joy is everything the pro-life community, and the country, feared. HR 3962 is a socialist manifesto comprised of 1990 pages of business and personal mandates, business and individual taxes, penalties, new bureaucracies empowered to make medical decisions, and federal funding for abortion.

The final attempt to eliminate funding for abortion is the Stupak-Pitts Amendment offered by Bart Stupak (D MI) and Joe Pitts (R PA). The Stop The Abortion Mandate website conducted a webcast last night to rally support for the amendment via e-mails and phone calls to House members. And it is incumbent upon us all to work for passage of the Stupak-Pitts amendment.

One Baby At A Time

 

Saturday was our first experience of being on the "front lines" in the struggle to save America's unborn. In conjunction with the national 40 Days For Life Campaign, we participated in our church's prayer vigil in front of an abortion clinic.

Though always opposed to abortion, it is only within the last two years that we have become actively involved in the pro-life movement. The unlikely overturning of Roe v Wade appeared to be the only hope. Our involvement was limited to voting for pro-life candidates and offering prayers for their success. 

It was Catholic cable station EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) that led us beyond passive support for the pro-life cause into active involvement. Like millions of Americans opposed to abortion, on principle, we had never actually taken the time to contemplate the horrible realities of what happens during an abortion. We never realized the extent of the physical and psychological damage often inflicted upon women who have undergone an abortion. Never understood the depth of sorrow experienced by men who have lost children to abortion. Never truly reflected upon what an abomination the dismembering of a screaming infant must be to the loving God who bestows life as the greatest of gifts. Never stopped to think about what an affront a national policy of abortion on demand must be to the gracious God Who has bestowed so many blessings upon our country.

And more importantly we were not aware of the success being achieved by thousands of pro-life activists combating the evil plague of abortion, saving One Baby At A Time.

"Wake Up, Washington! Abortion Is Health Care" -Erin Matson, NOW Action Vice President

Numerous reports abound citing rage on the distant left over President Obama's alleged moderation on the final version of his "healthcare reform" bill. No "public option", "opt out" clauses, backroom deals with the satanic health insurance industry and, most laughably, no provisions for abortion.

There are people who are apparently letting their guard down and luxuriating in a long sigh of relief. He's listening to us. It won't be as bad as everyone thought. Common sense and responsible government prevails.

Congresswoman Lois Capps is seen at the left demonstrating against California's Prop 8 initiative restricting marriage to one man and one woman.

Obamacare supporter Chris Korzen, executive director of Catholics United (Catholics-United.org) gave the group's imprimatur to HR 3200 claiming “The inclusion of the Capps Amendment represents a positive step toward health care reform that preserves existing policies prohibiting federal funding for abortion services...".

It remains to be determined whether groups like Catholics United, or Jim Wallis's Sojourners, are intent on fooling themselves, merely bent on fooling others, or both.

The False Witness: "We Are God's Partners In Life And Death"

 

Self deification and slander of those opposed to socialized medicine marked the highlights of President Obama's two teleconferences with liberal and progressive religious leaders last Wednesday.

An avowed proponent of "separation of church and state", Mr Obama seems to have found religion in a foxhole as barrages of civil protest against Obamacare continue to rain down on the White House and congressional democrats.


Our suddenly pious president hurled the bible at opponents charging "there are some folks out there who are, frankly, bearing false witness", referring to concerns that government intervention in America's healthcare system will inevitably lead to rationing of medical care.

President Obama's highly ballyhooed (the clucks at MSNBC actually had a countdown clock) press conference on healthcare spoke volumes about what the president and congressional democrats have no intention of speaking about.

 

The whole show boiled down to the by now standard Obama MO of declaring an imminent crisis and reciting a cliché. The cliché of the evening was "no one can be denied coverage of pre-existing conditions". The deliberately misleading big lie inherent in all government controlled health care.

In complete contrast to Ms Pelosi's typical misleading characterization of the pointedly brief meeting, the Pope took the opportunity to reaffirm, in no uncertain terms, every Catholic's duty to protect the unborn- especially Catholic legislators. The Pope Takes Pelosi To School

Change: America Exports Death Around The World

What do Christian Conservative American taxpayers have in common with Nancy Pelosi, Sean Penn and Rosie O'Donnell? We are all joining together, in the new spirit of like it or lump it bipartisanship, to fund abortions around the world.

With a firm commitment to priorities, our new president made his first installment payment to Abortion Incorporated. There will be more paybacks in the near future, because Mr Obama owes Ab Inc big time. America Exports Death

Planned Parenthood Reality Series: "To Protect A Predator"

Video clips are popping up of Planned Parenthood "counselors" clearly conspiring to cover up cases of statutory rape reported by undercover investigators posing as 13 and 15 year old girls. Maybe PP needs to hire Dateline NBC's Chris Hansen as a consultant (and conscience) on what to do with sexual predators.

Supercilious liberal Alan Colmes, however, actually  berates the undercover women as being the true culprits. We'll miss Alan. Entertaining, and always on hand to defend the indefensible. To Protect A Predator

Where Is The Catholic Church?

The Catholic Church has been one of the principal proponents in the struggle on behalf of America's helpless unborn children since the unconstitutional Roe v Wade decree became a blight upon our nation.

 

With the "Freedom Of Choice Act" threatening our unborn, it is time for the Catholic Church to take a stand. It's time to draw the line and make a few examples of Catholic politicians and academics who continue to flaunt their contempt for the Catholic commitment to the sanctity of life and who encourage other Catholics to do also.

Barack Obama And The FOCA

 

The presidential choice on Nov 4 will shape America's future for well beyond the new president's four year term. This is a serious decision. And senator John McCain is not most conservatives' idea of a president. However, his choice of Christian conservative governor Sarah Palin has done a lot to rehabilitate the republican brand in the hearts of the base.

And the Christian conservative base is far more important than many realize in this election. Not for merely for John McCain, but for the future rights of the unborn. Though the media keeps it off the radar screen, Sen Barack Hussein Obama presents the most dire threat to the struggle for the rights of the unborn since Roe vs Wade. Barack Obama & The FOCA

Sarah Palin Sets A "Bad Example"

A Canadian "doctors group" fears that Gov Sarah Palin has set a bad example by not aborting her Downs Syndrome baby, Trig Palin. The great fear is that other women faced with the birth of a special needs child might feel "pressured" not to abort their children. Read Life Site News Article

Abortion Incorporated- Following The Money

 

Abortion Inc (or Ab Inc) is our term for the hard core abortion lobby. This terminology best portrays abortion in America for what it really is- a high profit enterprise, with a vested interest in ending the lives of as many unborn children as possible each year.

And as big business, abortion has been a booming success. The Ab Inc coalition of clinics, doctors, referral services and interest groups are responsible for, and have profited from, the termination of nearly 50,000,000 innocent American lives since the treacherous inception of Roe v Wade.
