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.

Eight Reasons for the Media Blackout on Abortionist Kermit Gosnell
On Twitter and FaceBook today, #Gosnell is trending. The reason for the social media buzz is the strange silence of the mainstream media regarding one of the most gruesome murder trials in American history.

To put the Kermit Gosnell trial in perspective, consider other famous cases of child-killing. From Susan Smith to Andrea Yates, and most recently the horror of Newtown, we are accustomed to 24/7 news coverage of these types of tragedies. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/13/eight-reasons-for-the-media-blackout-on-abortionist-kermit-gosnell/

Reporters Apologize for Ignoring Kermit Gosnell Abortion Trial
There is a fine line between righteous indignation and gloating. I would identify the charges levied against the media for ignoring the Kermit Gosnell mass murder trial as righteous indignation.

We pro-lifers engage in this a lot. There is daily evidence that MSM ignores or distorts stories on abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/13/reporters-apologize-for-ignoring-kermit-gosnell-abortion-trial/

AP Excuses Gosnell s Staff s Involvement in Infanticides, Abortions
After some concern that Wikipedia would delete the entry regarding embattled abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell just as some medial outlets are finally reporting on the story of his gruesome abortion-infanticides the entry will stay intact.

Wikipedia, the online dictionary and research web site utilized by millions of people every day, was considering deleting the entry. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/14/wikipedia-keeps-entry-regarding-abortionist-kermit-gosnell/

Wikipedia Keeps Entry Regarding Abortionist Kermit Gosnell
Mr. Speaker, will the decades-long major national news media cover-up of the brutality and violence of abortion methods ever end?

Will Americans ever be told the horrifying details as to how and how often abortionists dismember, decapitate, and chemically poison innocent babies? http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/12/congressman-if-gosnell-killed-babies-with-a-gun-itd-be-national-news/

Torture Inflicted by Kermit Gosnell a Picture of Abortion in America
On April 12th, the Washington Post published an editorial by Jordan Sekulow and Matthew Clark on the Gosnell trial. The editorial brings to light the schizophrenic-like mindset that allows many Americans to be horrified by Gosnell s actions, but perfectly okay with abortion in general. Sekulow and Clark write:

The details emerging from this trial are too graphic for us to even put into words, yet our society allows this same unspeakable torture of another human being to occur just so long as the baby is still inside the womb. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/14/torture-inflicted-by-kermit-gosnell-a-picture-of-abortion-in-america/

Babies Born Alive After Abortions: Abortion Clinic Workers Testify
The Planned Parenthood abortion business finally condemned infamous abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell today in a tiny 20-word tweet that is its first and only statement on the abortion doctor since hi murder trial began.

Gosnell faces 43 criminal counts, including eight counts of murder in the death of one patient, Karnamaya Monger, and seven newborn infants. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/14/babies-born-alive-after-abortions-abortion-clinic-workers-testify/

CNN Guest Calls Gosnell s Infanticides Free Medical Care
CNN s Jake Tapper finally did a report on embattled abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell on Friday spending all of five minutes covering the doctor who killed dozens and dozens of babies in abortions/infanticides.

Friday evening is one of the least-watched times of the week in cable news, making it certain that fewer people saw the segment Tapper did compared with the number of viewers the show would normally receive in prime time on a weeknight. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/13/cnn-guest-calls-gosnells-infanticides-free-medical-care/

Event Will Allow Rape Survivors to Share How They Refused Abortion
At 12 years old, Anna was pregnant by her stepfather, who beat her up and forced her to take pills that would abort the baby. At 13, she was pregnant again. This time, she told her mother about the abuse and the pregnancy. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/14/event-will-allow-rape-survivors-to-share-how-they-refused-abortion/

The Real War on Women Fueled by Sex-Selection Abortions
There is a war on women being waged all over the world. It is not the fictional war on women that the Democrats keep prattling on about. It is a real war that takes the lives of millions of females every year. This real war is fueled by abortion. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/13/the-real-war-on-women-fueled-by-sex-selection-abortions/

Beware: Killing for Organs, Taking Organs From Living People
I have been warning for several years that many in bioethics and the organ transplant community hope to legalize killing for organs, that is, taking organs from the living. The latest example comes in the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics by Canadian philosophy professor (of course!) Walter Glannon.. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/13/beware-killing-for-organs-taking-organs-from-living-people/

Abortion Industry Pushes for RU 486: Younger Babies Easier to Kill
Seeing Younger Unborn Babies as Easier Targets to Dehumanize. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/14/abortion-industry-pushes-for-ru-486-younger-babies-easier-to-kill/

Founder of Palliative Care, Balfour Mount, Opposes Euthanasia
The following article is a condensed interview with Dr. Balfour Mount, the father of palliative care in North America. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/14/founder-of-palliative-care-balfour-mount-opposes-euthanasia/

Kansas Abortion Backers Pick Politics Over Stem Cell Cures
If cell therapies are indeed becoming the Third Pillar of medicine the title of a symposium today at the University of California at San Francisco Kansas has positioned itself to become the global clearinghouse of those treatments. http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/13/kansas-abortion-backers-pick-politics-over-stem-cell-cures/
