Vote Next Week on Congressional Bill Banning Abortions at 20 Weeks
Members of a U.S. House committee will cast a vote on a congressional bill that would ban abortions nationwide at 20 weeks of pregnancy.
The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice, chaired by bill author Rep. Trent Franks, an Arizona Republican, will hold a markup on H.R. 1797 on Tuesday. After lawmakers debate the bill, a vote is expected. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/vote-next-week-on-congressional-bill-banning-abortons-at-20-weeks/


Planned Parenthood Abortionist Who Reused Blood-Stained Gloves Faces Complaint
Planned Parenthood abortion practitioner Timothy Liveright faces an official complaint from the Delaware Attorney General’s Office for injuring and mistreating women to who came to Planned Parenthood for abortions.
The attorney general’s complaint cites him for unprofessional, incompetent and negligent conduct at Planned Parenthood’s Wilmington, Delaware abortion clinic and calls him a “clear and immediate danger to the public.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/planned-parenthood-abortionist-who-reused-blood-stained-gloves-faces-complaint/
Girl Scouts Join Planned Parenthood at Huge Pro-Abortion Conference
Tell me who you hang out with and I’ll tell you who you are.
Anna Maria Chávez, CEO of Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA), offers this pithy saying as her favorite quote. In order to figure out who the Girl Scouts are, I suppose we must follow Ms. Chávez’ logic and look at the organizations that GSUSA associates with. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/girl-scouts-join-planned-parenthood-at-huge-pro-abortion-conference/
We Must Stop Kermit Gosnell’s Colleagues Douglas Karpen and LeRoy Carhart
 Abortionists like Kermit Gosnell and Douglas Karpen are more common than you think.
They aren’t exceptions, they’re the rule. Unsafe conditions and barbaric practices in abortion clinics are an epidemic, not a random occurrence. The blood splattered walls and freezers full of children do not just exist in a few clinics in Pennsylvania and Texas. They’re in clinics across the nation from Illinois to Virginia. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/we-must-stop-kermit-gosnells-colleagues-douglas-karpen-and-leroy-carhart/
Pope Francis: Baptize Babies of Unwed Moms, They Had Courage to Reject Abortion
Pope Francis has an encouraging message for single mothers who rejected an abortion: your baby is welcome for baptism.
The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano indicates that, during a private mass at his residence, Pope Francis relayed the message: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/pope-francis-baptize-babies-of-unwed-moms-they-had-courage-to-reject-abortion/
Georgetown’s Catholic Standing Challenged After Pro-Abortion Speaker
Should Georgetown University be able to call itself a Catholic university in good standing? A new canon law petition says no, since the college has repeatedly had pro-abortion speakers — including HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
“Do alumni, students, faculty and parents have a right to be heard, when a Catholic university repeatedly violates its Catholic identity?” asks Patrick Reilly of the Cardinal Newman Society, a Catholic educational watchdog group. “That’s the question at stake at Georgetown University.” http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/georgetowns-catholic-standing-challenged-after-pro-abortion-speaker/
Blind Chinese Woman Sells Four Newborn Children, Husband Can’t Hold Job
On the heels of international news about a newborn baby who was found in a sewage pipe after being born alive and flushed down the toilet comes another tragic story from China.
A blind Chinese woman has admitted she sold four of her children because her husband is unable to keep a job to provide for their family. The London Daily Mail newspaper reports that Du Xiurong, from Shibei Village in Mianyang sold the four children between 2005 and 2012. The sold kids include three girls and one boy. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/blind-chinese-woman-sells-four-of-her-children-husband-cant-hold-job/
Obama to Spend Second Term Packing Courts With Liberal Activists
 If you don’t like the court’s decisions, change the people making them! That seems to be Barack Obama’s philosophy, as he gets ready to pick one of the biggest fights of his presidency with Republicans. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/obama-to-spend-second-term-packing-courts-with-liberal-activists/

 Not Just Gosnell: No Such Thing as a “Humane” Abortion
 Much attention has rightly gone to the horrible practices of convicted murderer Kermit Gosnell, who aborted babies alive, stabbed them in the back of the neck with surgical scissors, and snipped their spinal cords. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/not-just-gosnell-no-such-thing-as-a-humane-abortion/
Human Development 101 for Scientists and Abortion Backers
 Embryology text books will tell you that when fertilization is completed, an embryo is formed. That, is, a new individual organism exists–which remains the same organism until death. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/human-development-101-for-scientists-and-abortion-backers/
Congressman’s Human Cloning Ban Would Actually Ban Human Cloning
 Congressman Andy Harris (R-MD) has reintroduced a true ban on human cloning to the U.S. Congress. H.R. 2164, Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2012, would ban human cloning all over the U.S. This is actually a remarkable bill. Why? Because most other “bans on human cloning” do nothing of the sort. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/congressmans-human-cloning-ban-would-actually-ban-human-cloning/
Women Deliver Conference a How-To on Breaking Abortion Laws
 Abortion was rarely mentioned by dignitaries on stage during the international webcast portions of Women Deliver, a global conference on family planning. The non-webcast breakout sessions, however, featured late-term abortionists, radical activists describing how to skirt abortion laws, and World Health Organization experts promoting their how-to-do-abortions manua. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/women-deliver-conference-a-how-to-on-breaking-abortion-laws/

United Methodist Church Only Condemned Gosnell After Pro-Life Pressure
 The D.C. lobby office of the United Methodist Church, the General Board of Church and Society (GBCS), has finally broken its silence about the “health care” offered by abortion and infanticide provider Kermit Gosnell. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/united-methodist-church-only-condemned-gosnell-after-pro-life-pressure/
Planned Parenthood Sues to Overturn Parental Notification on Abortion
 The Planned Parenthood abortion business has always been against allowing parents to be notified when their minor daughter is considering an abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/31/planned-parenthood-sues-to-overturn-parental-notification-on-abortion/
Princess Mary of Denmark: Right to Abortion “At the Core of Human Life”

Spirit & Life - A People Who Can't Say "No"

spiritlife

HLI LogoThis week's Spirit & Life is by Father Shenan J. Boquet, president of Human Life International.

Spirit & Life is the weekly e-column of
Human Life International. 
_______________________________ 
A People Who Can't Say "No"
Dear deaconjohn,
The annual celebrations of the Church are her way of bringing the temporal and the eternal into conversation, allowing us to, if you will, listen in to what Our Lord is telling the Church, again. Today's Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary is another such occasion, an especially poignant one for those who answer the Church's call to defend human life, marriage and family.
Mary's complete openness to God and His holy will are reflected in her haste to the home of Elizabeth. This is not a mere visit between two mothers or relatives, but a profound joyful sharing in the fulfillment of God's promise of salvation carried in Mary's womb. Indeed, upon hearing Mary's greeting, the babe within Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy!
The meeting between the two saintly women was also the first meeting between Our Savior and the one whom Scripture foretold would pave His way. While we can't reduce the entire depth and beauty of this encounter to our struggle today, I think it's fair to say that on the question of the humanity of the preborn child and on the goodness of his life, God has spoken quite clearly.
If you'll allow me, I'd like to take the message of this great meeting a further step that may not necessarily be obvious at first. While absolutely affirming the humanity of the unborn child and the joy spontaneously expressed by those who love God, we also see as the Gospel unfolds that John the Baptist expressed his love for God by preaching a radical message of repentance. His love did not lead him to pat everyone on the back and say "The Lord is coming and it's all gonna be fine! Compromise with the culture and get along! Just chill!"
Yet many Christians are acting as if this is what Christ wants -- just to find accommodations with a culture that is increasingly at odds not only with God's law, but with God Himself. How else do we understand the baffling decision by the Boy Scouts to undermine their own principles and allow "openly homosexual" children, children mind you, to be scouts?
Sustaining and nourishing a Culture of Life is not possible until we acknowledge there are realities and behaviors harmful to us -- as individuals and a society -- and embrace with a total yes the teachings of Jesus Christ. For a long time, the Scouts bucked the public pressure brought by a small minority of radicals -- radicals who will never be long appeased by any compromise -- to drop their Christian identity.
BSA's principles teach scouts to be obedient to God; however, these same Scouts now find themselves in an organization that is wavering on a key moral issue. While the resolution itself stopped short of an open endorsement of homosexual activity, it does represent the abandonment of any principle that the organization can later call upon to resist what will soon again be massive pressure to allow openly homosexual Scout leaders. And inevitability, scouts will pose questions to their leaders about homosexuality. Will they be told it's wrong to act on such feelings and attractions? Moreover, should not young boys struggling with sexual orientation/identity be guided from a potential danger and pointed towards the good?
Let's remember that the Catholic Church counsels love for those struggling with a homosexual orientation, but is firm in her teaching that acting on those inclinations is morally illicit, just as any non-marital sexual activity is.
The dilemma for BSA will continue because the toxic culture cannot accept that there are limitations. There is never enough. To welcome young boys into the BSA and provide them with a healthy approach to life, including the proper role of human sexuality, is not acceptable to those who can't say "No." One can imagine that troop leaders will soon be required to attend "sensitivity seminars," and to defend homosexual actions and identity. Eventually the BSA that has identified the importance of being reverent to God and His laws will compromise even further.
It is a slippery slope to be sure, and it is in no way an act of courage that they have demonstrated to their young scouts. Instead of being a remedy to the corrosive influences upon young boys and men, their decision only weakens their stance against an increasingly toxic culture.
Am I being unreasonable? Let me answer the question with another: can you name one major moral compromise that did not lead to further ones, and to major societal problems as a result? Consider: It was once believed that if restrictions on divorce were minimized that marriage would be better protected and the number of divorces would lessen. Yet nearly half of marriages end in divorce. What about contraception? It was said that if we legalize contraception it would limit the number of abortions, and marriage would be strengthened. Yet we have seen abortion rates skyrocket, promiscuity now being treated as a positive by the "experts" who teach sex "education" in our schools, STD rates are through the roof and there is further confusion about the nature of marriage and really any male/female relationship.
Instead of acknowledging the beauty of the sexual act expressed between husband and wife, society continues to relegate it to a recreational activity without limitation or consequence. Liberation from all restraints is the new "good." This is what happens when we are unable to say "No" to our appetites. And when a person doesn't have the freedom to say "No," he doesn't really have the freedom to say "Yes" either, since he is at the mercy of his appetites.
So we must be able to say "No" to certain things if we're to say "Yes" to what is truly good for us. This "Yes" is grounded in humility, a humility that acknowledges a profound truth outside of man, which guides and sustains. This truth as revealed in Jesus Christ leads us to true freedom -- liberation from the shackles of original sin. When we, like Mary, say, "Yes" to God and His commands we open ourselves to an abundance of grace. This grace enables us to recognize the path of Life and joyfully avoid the empty potholes caused from selfishness and rebelliousness.
Reconstruction of the culture is possible. It cannot be built upon the slippery slopes fashioned by half-heartedness and indifference to truth. It requires a total "Yes" to courage, humility and desire for the truth.
We pray that the Boy Scouts will remember what has made them unique and effective among other institutions, and those who are active with the Scouts should let them know that they're starting down a path from which it is very difficult to return.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

Lifeissues.net: clear thinking about crucial issues

Dear Friends for Life,

Keeping parents in the dark is one of Planned Parenthood's hallmarks. Most parents are still unaware that this week there will be a hearing in the K-12 subcommittee of the South Carolina legislature on the so-called Healthy Youth Act (H3435) that would mandate only Planned Parenthood-style "safe sex" education for minors and vulnerable teens, certify only teachers who teach a specific list of programs, and make abstinence education programs illegal.

"Laws pass when parents don't object; says one or two phone calls can derail sex ed program." Brad Victor said that the most liberal sex ed laws in the nation were driven through easily because there was no parental outcry. A "Sexuality Education Specialist" with the Oregon Department of Education, Victor was introduced at the beginning of the Oregon Adolescent Sexuality Conference as being with WISE of Oregon, an acronym for "Working to Institutionalize Sex Education." Victor described how laws requiring sex education starting in kindergarten and condom demonstrations in sixth grade were pushed through with the greatest of ease when parents' voices were not heard in opposition at the state board level.

****************************************

ITEM #1: The New Unmarried Moms

20-somethings are driving America's all-time high level of nonmarital childbearing, which is now at 41% of all births, according to vital-statistics data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Sixty percent of those births are to women in their 20s, while teens account for only one-fifth of nonmarital births. Between 1990 and 2008, the teen pregnancy rate has dropped by 42%, while the rate of nonmarital childbearing among 20-something women has risen by 27%. The shift of unmarried parenthood from teens to 20-somethings is in part an unexpected consequence of delaying marriage.
****************************************

ITEM #2: Many Successful Gay Marriages Share an Open Secret

The swing towards Thailand is the direct result of a decision by India to only grant medical visas for surrogacy to heterosexual couples who have been married for at least two years.

ITEM #3:  The Country of Death: 40 years, 330 million abortions, 196 million sterilisations

Stepping back, the question emerges: "What, exactly, distinguishes the culture of death in the West from the culture of death in China?"

****************************************
ITEM #4: As Support For Gay Marriage Grows, An Opponent Looks Ahead

Gallagher only started speaking against gay marriage in 2003, when, she says, she could no longer avoid it. She'd spent the prior decade publically warning about the decline in marriage in general — how the sexual revolution, feminism and divorce were threatening the institution and children. Then gay marriage lurched out as the biggest threat of all.

****************************************
ITEM #5: Hello baby! Incredible 3D scans allow parents to see foetus SMILING and MOVING in stunning detail

A blurry blob on a hospital screen is the first view most expectant parents get of their child. But new state-of-the-art imaging software is now able to map a foetus in incredible detail. The software takes a conventional 3D ultrasound scan and adds colour, skin texture, lighting and shadows.

****************************************

ITEM #6: Why is Canada's parliament tip-toeing around sex-selective abortion?

Debate is being stifled because the government is afraid to touch the third rail.

****************************************

ITEM #7 Elder abuse caught on video, elder abuse incident is not isolated

A Peterborough Ontario Newspaper reported on the elder abuse of Hellen MacDonald, who was living in a long-term care room. Her son Camille Parent was upset about the care of his mother and decided to install a hidden camera to uncover what was happening to his mother.
****************************************

ITEM #8: Protect children from internet pornography, report demands

Report finds evidence of a high correlation between exposure to violent and sadistic images and behaviour.
****************************************
ITEM #9: Doctor: Abortion Not A "Viable Treatment Option" to Save Women's Lives

Tells Legislators That Performing Abortions "Would Entail Undue and Dangerous Delay" in Providing Life-Saving Care for Women.

****************************************
ITEM #10: Later Abortions Linked to Psychological Problems, More Ambivalence

This week experts testified before a Congressional subcommittee on a bill that would ban abortions nationwide past 20 weeks. A 2010 study of women who had abortions found that women undergoing later abortions face increased psychological risks, are more likely to be ambivalent about having an abortion and are more likely to need counseling and support.

****************************************

ITEM #11: If Your Child Is Gay?

Every parent owes the same love and support to a gay child as to a straight child. In fact, all of us, parents or not, owe the same respect to gays as individuals as we do to heterosexuals as individuals. That does not mean, however, that marriage needs to be redefined. It does not mean that, other things being equal, it is not best for a child to have a male and a female parent.

****************************************

ITEM #12: Advice for 21st century young women

The last 50 years have transformed the way men and women look at themselves and each other — both willingly and grudgingly - provoking existential self-examination unprecedented in human history. I'm speaking of what we've termed the sexual revolution, ushered in by the combined influences of the birth control pill and feminist activism.

Jennifer McKenna Morbelli, a 29-year-old woman from New Rochelle, New York died from a botched 33-week abortion. The medical examiner’s office confirmed a botched 33-week abortion killed the young woman. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/30/autopsy-confirms-33-week-abortion-led-to-young-womans-death/

Protest of Obama and PelosiWhen we arrived at the Hilton & Towers shortly before 4:00 to set up for our protest, we found that Chicago Police had set up metal fencing all along Michigan Avenue directly in front of the hotel, effectively eliminating our intended protest area. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/30/obamas-motorcade-confronted-with-pictures-of-abortion-victims/

Melinda Gates, Planned Parenthood and Hillary Clinton Push Illegal Abortions
It’s being billed as “the largest global event of the decade to focus on the health and empowerment of girls and women.” But it is also very obviously a conference designed to reduce populations of developing nations by promoting a Western-style sexual revolution via chemical contraceptives, access to abortion-on-demand including, the promotion of the chemical abortifacient misoprostol in countries where abortion is illegal, and sex education for youth.
On Tuesday more than 4,000 delegates from 145 countries attended the launch of the third Women Deliver conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/30/melinda-gates-planned-parenthood-and-hillary-clinton-push-illegal-abortions/

Operation Rescue has learned more about the death of an abortion patient at a shoddy Baltimore abortion clinic located in a residential condo complex.

Premature Newborn Comes Back to Life in Mother’s Arms After Pronounced Dead
A premature newborn in Australia, born along with his twin sister at just 27 weeks’ gestation and weighing in at only two pounds, was pronounced dead by his physician after medical staff tried for twenty minutes to revive him. Jamie Ogg, now a little over three years old, is alive today only because of the undying love and affection of his mother.
According to the U.K.’s Daily Mail, when Jamie was pronounced dead, the doctor handed him to his mother, Kate, so that she could say goodbye to her son. Kate took Jamie into her arms and tearfully caressed her tiny son. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/30/premature-newborn-comes-back-to-life-in-mothers-arms-after-pronounced-dead/
Planned Parenthood Has Never Rebuked Lobbyist Who Defended Infanticide
 In a now-infamous Planned Parenthood video, the organization betrayed its love for abortion-above-all-else when a representative, testifying against language in Florida HB 1129, proudly admitted to the Florida legislature that Planned Parenthood takes issue with allowing infants born alive after failed abortions to be transported to a hospital. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/30/planned-parenthood-has-never-reversed-lobbyist-who-defended-infanticide/

Gosnell Will Plead Guilty to Writing Thousands of Illegal Drug Prescriptions

Remembering When an Abortionist Carved His Initials Into Patient’s Abdomen
 Although not widely known, there is a long and sordid history of bizarre behavior by abortionists.
