Protests Show Abortion Advocates Now on Defense Fighting a Losing Battle
Back in the day abortion proponents had all the mojo and pro-lifers were on the defensive. The photo below, via PBS, is of a pro-abortion rally demanding a repeal of pro-life laws in Washington,D.C., circa 1971. At the same time, feminists were pushing the Equal Rights Amendment in all 50 states. The photo below, via illinois.gov, is of feminists writing the names of ERA opponents in pigs’ blood on the floor of the Illinois State Capitol on June 24, 1982… I take this little trip down memory lane to justapose the pro-abortion protests of yesteryear with those we see today. And while the aggression has certainly not abated, as was…

Video: Kenyan deputy president strongly rebuffs Obama on gay ‘marriage’: ‘We believe in God’
MAILI KUMI, Kenya, July 1, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A second African president has rebuffed President Barack Obama’s promotion of homosexuality in foreign relations during his $100 million tour of the continent. Obama said he respects “people’s personal views and their religious faith, et cetera,” but “when it comes to how the state treats people, how the law treats people,” he believes the equality of homosexuality and the traditional family is“a principle that I think applies universally.” Deputy President of Kenya William Ruto responded during Sunday Mass that Kenya is committed to the nuclear family as taught by the Scriptures. “Those…
Study: Abortion Ups Breast Cancer Risk Six-Fold, Millions of Women Have Died
A study published in the Indian Journal of Community Medicine (May, 2013) found a 6.38-fold greater risk of breast cancer among women with histories of induced abortion. [1] The study, led by Ramachandra Kamath, MD (Department of Public Health, Manipal University), found induced abortion was the most important risk factor. “With only 94 cases and 94 controls, the study was way too small for a significant risk of the order of 1.5-fold to even show up,” explained Professor Joel Brind (Baruch College, City University of New York). “Yet…
Melinda Gates Admits: “Stop People’s Lives From Existing”
New York, NY (CFAM/LifeNews) — Love him or hate him, Stephen Colbert doesn’t waste time getting to the point. In last Thursday’s interviewwith Melinda Gates on the Colbert Report, he asked Melinda about her newest initiative and cut straight to the chase: the new population control movement exists to save lives by erasing lives. Colbert: “But now you’ve got a new charitable hobby horse you’re on, and it’s not necessarily saving people’s lives, so much as it’s stopping people’s lives from existing. You want to provide family planning to 120 million men and women around the world.” Melinda Gates: “Right.”…

House Committee Passes Bill Banning Abortions at 20 Weeks of Pregnancy
by Steven Ertelt | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 6/12/13 1:37 PM With Republicans supporting it and Democrats opposed, a House committee has passed a bill that would ban abortions nationwide at 20 weeks of pregnancy. Much of the debate focused on weaking amendments by Democrats who hoped to gut the bill and allow late-term abortions in cases to protect a woman’s health — even though abortions after 20 weeks are not necessary for health reasons and would allow virtually all late-term abortions to remain legal. The committee passed the bill on a 20-12 vote and the measure now heads…

Stories From the Abortion Clinic: Tales of Sidewalk Counseling
by Jennie Stone | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 6/10/12 12:57 PM Most of the time you sidewalk counsel, patients ignore you both entering and leaving the clinic. Other times, they do react to you…but not always in the way you hope. You encounter all different kinds of people and situations outside the abortion clinics, and this weekend proved just that. Some weekends are just harder than others. These are just some sporadic tidbits from my sidewalk counseling last weekend. We do not always see the fruits of our labor right away. Friday, June 1, 9:00am I had arrived at the…
