Andrea Bocelli faceI learned of this video  just this morning via Scott Ott on Facebook, who credits Paul Wood as his source.

Yet another reminder that all unborn babies have voices… but in the womb, the only audible voice they have is someone else’s tender conscience. Read More »

Baby face ultrasound pictureThe Camera Doesn’t Lie: Ultrasound Changes American Opinion on Abortion

by Bradley Mattes

May 21, 2010
The success of our labor is becoming more evident every day. For the third time in a row, a Gallup poll shows more Americans are calling themselves pro-life than pro-choice. Gallup titled their analysis, “The New Normal on Abortion.” And they’re right.

It’s no longer normal to think an unborn baby is disposable. Even the liberal Slate Magazine had to acknowledge that young people have wised up to the facts. Read More »

Supreme Court Nominee Elena Kagan Attacked Pro-Life Advocates in 1980 Essay

Elena Kagan. Perhaps the folks in Washington will use your history to affect our present.

PLEASE Washington, man up.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) – An essay that Obama Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan wrote in 1980 has been unearthed and it provides some insight into her view of pro-life advocates. The article she wrote for the Daily Princetonian a week after Ronald Reagan’s victory in the 1980 election has Kagan disparaging pro-life advocates.

Reagan won a landslide victory over President Jimmy Carter and Kagan’s essay lamented that victory and had her hoping for a “more leftist left” in the 1984 elections.“Even after the returns came in, I found it hard to conceive of the victories of these anonymous but Moral Majority-backed opponents” of certain pro-abortion candidates, Kagan wrote.She called them “avengers of ‘innocent life’” who were “beneficiaries of a general turn to the right and a profound disorganization on the left.” Douglas Johnson, the legislative director of the National Right to Life Committee noticed the comment and the scare quotes….(continue reading here)

Britain’s hidden gendercide: How Britain’s Asians are copying Indian cousins and aborting girls

By Kishwar Desai Last updated at 2:28 AM on 11th May 2010

For the hospital sonographer, it’s just another routine 20-week ultrasound scan. The baby is developing perfectly and, helpfully, is lying in the right position to make identification of its gender straightforward. ‘Would you like to know the sex?’ she asks. The anxious-looking Indian woman who has been staring so intently at the monitor, smiles nervously. ‘Oh yes, please,’ she says, her slight Midlands accent betraying the fact that she was born in Britain.

‘Well, you’re having a little girl. Isn’t that lovely?’ If the sonographer had been a little less tired, she might have noticed the slight hesitation before her patient’s reply, the fleeting look of desperate disappointment that crossed her face. But both are gone in a split second. ‘Oh yes, wonderful news, my husband will be pleased.’

But the woman is lying – just as hundreds of other British women of Indian origin do every year. Their husbands certainly won’t be pleased by news of another daughter and nor, more often than not, are they.

Sickening cycle: This baby girl was found in an Indian jungle just  a day after she was born

What was it daadi (grandmother) used to say? Bringing up a baby girl is like watering a neighbor’s garden. What her grandmother meant, of course, is that it’s an absolute waste of time and money.

As she straightens her clothing and walks out of the hospital, the woman shudders, knowing full well what lies ahead….….(Continue reading here).

And so the human sacrifices continue. Abortion, whenever, wherever, ultimately for whatever reason.

This storyline hurts.  It never gets easier.  I see the pictures of the destroyed unborn in my mind, in pictures, and online.  I know and  can recall the faces of their mothers and fathers, brothers, sisters, their aunts, uncles, grandparents and the grieving friends of all mentioned. I know these people, you know these people, even if you don’t know you know these people. They’re everywhere.  Though nothing I say is new, it still needs to be said, and repeated, over and over and over….

Pampers goes Pro-Life?

By idaflo | May 8th, 2010 | View Comments 

Stand Back.

They may be aged and increasingly irrelevant, but the old-guard feminists emerge with claws unsheathed when somebody tries to hamper their fighting this war that drafts the unborn to serve as their personal, and of necessity – kamikaze – front line.

Pampers’ “Hello Baby” pro-life iPad app
