Nameless, but never forgotten
I don’t remember her name; I probably never will. But she was the woman responsible for saving my son’s life. This Mother’s Day, I’d like to celebrate the woman who gave me the courage to be a mother. In 1978, I was a scared 16-year-old with a terrible secret. Raised in a good Catholic home, I knew the difference between right and wrong. My parents were loving, involved, and fairly strict. But I was young and pressured by what I deemed my need to keep up with my friends. Suddenly, doing what was right didn’t seem to be the answer. read more...

Pro-life vid of the day: Abby Johnson’s message to abortion workers
In the light of what abortion workers have experienced at Kermit Gosnell’s “house of horrors” in Philadelphia and now Douglas Karpen’s clinic in Houston, Abby’s ministry is a timely one.Abby speaks to these workers – who often rationalize or justify working at these clinics even when they know it’s wrong – in the video below. read more...

Workers in facilities like Gosnell’s and Karpen’s ‘are starting to panic’: pro-life leader
More revelations like those made about Kermit Gosnell and Douglas Karpen will soon come to light, because abortion workers are beginning to “panic” that participating in infanticide could land them in jail, according to a veteran pro-life activist. Mark Crutcher of Life Dynamics, Inc. appeared on “Focal Point” with Bryan Fischer on the AFR Talk Radio Network Friday afternoon to say the nightmarish testimony of the last few months is only the tip of the iceberg. read more...

The coming human cloning controversies
I learned about the first successful human cloning last Monday, but couldn’t write about it until Wednesday because of a news embargo. The peer reviewed paper inCell was rushed to print because is a huge deal. But, much to my surprise, it only made mild news. There were two reasons for that I think. First, we just went through a very busy news week. But I think the primary reason is that the scientists and media pretended that this wasn’t really human cloning for political reasons; just a step in that general direction. But human cloning it was, and that is a huge deal, opening up the possibility of genetic engineering of embryos, creating custom made fetuses as organ farms, and the birth of a cloned baby. News stories often acted as if the experiment merely turned “unfertilized eggs” and skin cells into embryonic stem cells. Not true: The act of cloning creates an embryo. After that, the cloning is over. read more...

Federal Judge Temporarily Halts Ark. 12-Week Abortion Ban While Lawsuit Proceeds
A federal judge on Friday issued a preliminary injunction that prevents Arkansas from enforcing a ban (Act 301) on most abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy while a lawsuit challenging the law continues, the New York Times reports. The measure was scheduled to take effect Aug. 16 (Eckholm, New York Times, 5/17).The law prohibits abortions after 12 weeks if a fetal heartbeat is detectable, with exceptions in cases of rape, incest, to save a woman's life or when the fetus has a fatal disorder. read more...

Group calls for investigation of waste company Stericycle's burning of babies killed by Gosnell
A national pro-life group is calling for an investigation into the connection between a convicted Philadelphia abortionist and the top medical waste disposal company in America regarding the unlawful disposal of newborn and third trimester babies. The Campaign to Stop Stericycle (CSS) issued a news release today, calling upon citizens across the country to contact both the Pennsylvania and North Carolina environmental protection agencies to request an official investigation into the incineration of babies killed by Kermit Gosnell via the Illinois-based company Stericycle. It is illegal for third trimester or newborn babies to be incinerated in the state. CSS noted that Stericycle treats their waste acceptance policy like a “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” in that the company never inquires what is in the boxes that they collect. read more...

KKK lynched 3,446 blacks in 86 years -- Abortion claims that many black babies in 'less than four days'
Over 86 years, the Ku Klux Klan lynched 3,446 blacks – a figure matched in less than four days if tallying the number of black babies who are aborted. Walter Hoye, founder and president of the Issues4Life Foundation, shared those statistics at a press conference on Tuesday where black clergy and other leaders gathered in response to the guilty verdict in the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell, who was convicted of murdering three newborn babies. Hoye said that over 20 million of the more than 50 million abortions that have taken place since the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade ruling legalized the procedure are performed on black women. read more...

The 'therapeutic cloning' of human embryos
Scientists at Oregon Health and Science University reported a successful incidence of cloning, one that relied on the same method that researchers used 17 years ago to clone Dolly the sheep. This week, the cloned embryos were not sheep; they were human beings. The work is heralded as the success of “therapeutic cloning.” We will hear a lot about therapeutic cloning in the news this week. Researchers distinguish between “therapeutic cloning,” which creates embryos in order to harvest their stem cells, and “reproductive cloning,” which has the intention of a live birth. The Oregon researchers insist that theirs was not an act of “reproductive cloning.” But the distinction is spurious. Both types of cloning are reproductive. Both bring a new human being into existence. In fact, so-called therapeutic cloning is the more heinous because the process is intended to create life, exploit it, and then destroy it. Consider what the cloning breakthrough means. read more...
