DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Eric Holder s Abortion Connection Just Tip of Obama Iceberg
Eric Holder is Barack Obama s attorney general. He sits in Obama s Cabinet. And if an article released by the journal Human Events is correct, Holder s wife and sister-in-law rented space in a building they own through a family trust to an abortionist. And not just any abortionist, but one indicted for two counts of Medicaid fraud and twice reprimanded by the Georgia medical board, according to the Human Events article.

The article, written by Troy Anderson and Will Swain of Watchdog.org, describes the Atlanta-area abortionist, Tyrone Cecil Malloy, as notorious. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/02/eric-holders-abortion-connection-just-tip-of-obama-iceberg/

Obama: No Track Record to Run on Except Support for Abortion
[I]f you don t have any fresh ideas, then you use stale tactics to scare voters. If you don t have a record to run on, then you paint your opponent as someone people should run from. You make a big election about small things. Then candidate Barack Obama, speaking at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.

All through this campaign, supporters of Mitt Romney have gleefully (and properly) turned that middle sentence back against President Obama. They note that the overwhelming bulk of his political ads have torched Romney in the hopes that attention to Obama s own record of utter failure would be consumed in the process. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/02/obama-no-track-record-to-run-on-except-suport-for-abortion/

Radio Ad Informs Voters of Obama s Infanticide Voting Record
A pro-life women s group, the Susan B. Anthony List, is running ads in the state of New Hampshire that remind voters of the fact that President Obama failed to support a bill in the Illinois legislature to stop infanticide. Obama failed to support the Born Alive Infants Protection Act to ensure babies who survive failed abortions receive appropriate medical care.

The text of the ads: I m Jill Stanek, a Chicago nurse. I was outraged when I discovered that babies who were born alive because of botched abortions were being left to die. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/02/radio-ad-informs-voters-of-obamas-infanticide-voting-record/

Fred Thompson Call to Tell 4 Million Voters Obama = Abortion
A robocall the pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List will have reaching voters in the final days of the presidential campaign will have former Republican candidate Fred Thompson contacting voters. The pro-life actor and former Tennessee senator will be asking voters to support Romney and support thousands and thousands of children who have not yet been born.

CBN News reporter David Brody provides more details on the phone calls. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/02/fred-thompson-call-to-tell-4-million-voters-obama-abortion/

Latino Movie Star Verastegui Bashes Obama on Abortion, Backs Romney
Latino movie star Eduardo Verastegui released a new video today and has done the voice-over for a round of automated calls to Hispanic voters bashing President Barack Obama on abortion and endorsing Mitt Romney.

Verastegui, whose credits include For Greater Glory and Bella, is working with the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles and the Susan B. Anthony List. He says Obama has been supporting abortion and betraying the values of Latinos during his time as president. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/02/latino-movie-star-verastegui-bashes-obama-on-abortion-backs-romney/

For Catholic Voters, Pro-Life Issues are Not Negotiable
Election Day 2012 in the United States is only days away. While there are many who just can t wait for all the political ads to disappear and the partisan discussions to finally be over with (at least for now), we cannot lose sight of the real, and potentially dangerous, consequences of this election.

This election, on the national, state and local levels, isn t just about economic growth, tax returns and lofty speeches. This election is about life and death, the protection of the sacred institution of marriage and our fundamental rights to live our faith. http://www.lifenews.com/2012/11/02/for-catholic-voters-pro-life-issues-are-not-negotiable/

Just 45 People Show Up to Catholics for Obama Event
Only 45 people bothered to show up at a campaign event rally the official Obama campaign apparatus Catholics for Obama threw in Denver, Colorado recently.

Flooded Clinic Kept Doing Abortions After Hurricane Sandy

200 Million Girls Killed in China, Where Are the Feminists?
Yesterday I stumbled across the trailer for a documentary called It s A Girl. The 3-minute preview stopped me in my tracks particularly the part in which an Indian woman matter-of-factly describes how she strangled her newborn daughters.
