Native American Voices Redeeming the Land for LIFE

Posted by Christina Martin on April 29, 2011

I was born and raised in Connecticut, but for the past three years I’ve lived in the deep southern state of Georgia. Being a new resident, and a curious one at that, has lead me to do historical research on the state I now call home. I’ve realized amazing things have happened in our state. Civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin King, Jr., wrote, preached and proclaimed from my city. Thousands marched, prayed and stood for justice in this very place. Yet for all the good, there’s been a lot of bad. Some of the most wicked injustices being slavery, segregation, and horrible treatment towards the Native American people.

“You cannot purchase the fruit of the womb, until you walk in the moccasins of the Native Americans.”

These were the words given in a dream to Lou Engle and a company of young people in 2003. They were on a mission from God to see abortion end and were earnestly seeking Him for strategy. As they prayed, they began to gain revelation into the connection between the atrocities committed against the First Nations people and the current issue of abortion in our land.

See the Truth. Speak the Truth. (Video)

Posted by Marisol Sanchez on April 28, 2011

My eyes have been opened to something. Since being immersed in the culture of LIFE, I have found myself assuming that in this day in age, with all of our access to YouTube and numerous web resources, that we all know what abortion looks like. I’ve made the assumption that some kid (and by kid I mean junior high) somewhere has stumbled upon images of the teeny tiny hands and feet of an aborted baby, bloodied and torn and placed next to a quarter to show scale. I’ve made the assumption that maybe they’ve seen the truth that abortion really is killing a human life. I mean, why wouldn’t I assume it? This generation has been bombarded with plenty of other “mature” images that I guess a part of me let my mind forget that abortion isn’t in the forefront of the average teenage mind nor are abortion images something that any mainstream media outlet is ready to plaster all over the nightly news all the time.

It’s not that this generation isn’t capable of finding out the truth. On the contrary! They are far more capable and tech-savvy than I was in junior high (which wasn’t too long ago). There are also numerous ways to be distracted. Distraction is not a hard thing to come by nowadays. It’s all at our fingertips, all the time. Not only is distraction easily accessible, but misinformation is as well.

Why is the Abortion Industry Saying Thank You? (Video)

Posted by Susan Michelle on April 27, 2011

Conviction struck me last week when I got one of the recent letters from Planned Parenthood President, Cecile Richards. Her subject was “Who do we have to thank for this?” And it wasn’t sarcastic. Richards was lauding the supporters of Planned Parenthood for saving its funding in the new budget:

If I didn’t know before, I sure know now: We are capable of making a LOT of noise, and a HUGE difference. Over the past few months, more than a million people stood with us to fight the most outrageous — and dangerous — legislative attacks on Planned Parenthood in our history. And we were LOUD. We were so loud, that lawmakers were calling me to say, "I get it! I can’t turn around without hearing from someone about standing with Planned Parenthood!"

Church, we, too, are capable of making a lot of noise and a huge difference. We, too, are capable of being loud. I don’t mean necessarily in the same ways as Planned Parenthood. Richards goes on to praise the anger expressed to lawmakers, and certainly we are not called to angry outbursts, but we are called to cry out for justice.

Young Women Have Abortions “All the Time,” Says School-Promoted Website

Posted by Susan Michelle on April 25, 2011

There’s not a lot in the nation that makes Planned Parenthood look like a step up, but the state of Massachusetts has shown that it’s possible. Using taxpayer money, the state sponsors this website, and even has posters hanging up in local schools to lead students to the website for their sex ed information.

Maria Talks is a concept that uses fun looking characters that teens are supposed to be able to relate to and embrace for advice. Maria and her group of friends will joyfully dispense all you need to know about living as a teenager, from why being confused about your sexual orientation is a good thing, to why abortion is better than adoption.

Of course Maria doesn’t quite come out and say abortion is better than the selfless act of life, but she might as well.

Updated: Atrocity in El Paso as Dismembered Baby is Discovered

Posted by Susan Michelle on April 22, 2011

UPDATED:
Since we posted the blog below, there have been two updates: Live Action has printed another story with more details on how the baby was discovered. Click here to read the update.

And a few minutes ago, Abby Johnson posted this update:

UPDATE: El Paso police will not be investigating or prosecuting anyone in the matter of the aborted baby found in the parking lot of Hilltop Family Planning Clinic.

- – - – - – - – - -

It wasn’t a Good Friday for a baby in El Paso whose body was mercilessly ripped out and left disposed of in the parking lot of an abortion clinic. Click here Live Action’s link to see the evidence of life that was killed. Abby Johnson has told Live Action the baby appears to be 12-14 weeks, which, of course, is a time many abortions occur. For those who question that life is being taken, look at these pictures from today. They aren’t shock photos to scare women; they aren’t a horror scene of propaganda. They are reality. They are today. They are what happens when a nation embraces the shedding of innocent blood.

Minister Says Celebrating Easter Means Promoting Abortion Rights

Posted by Susan Michelle on April 22, 2011

The Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, the organization filled with mainstream churches that endorse abortion, has an Easter message for its readers: Life is only valuable when it can be lived well, and Jesus endorses that.

Reverend Matthew Westfox, Director of Interfaith Outreach, Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, writes in a special Easter column that

Easter is about … the victory of God, of love, of justice, over death. “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” reminds me that Easter is a celebration of life itself and what Christians honor and revere about life….. To be pro-life, after all, means to honor life and to cherish it. But do we honor life, or do we honor a heartbeat? Life, after all, is the ability to LIVE, to connect with other human beings, and, for Christians, life is among other things the ability to experience the presence of Christ through those connections. To live is to use our God-given conscience and power of moral decision- making. It is to act as a truly free person with control over one’s own body, sexuality, and reproduction.

This man is asserting that only lives that can be lived with value and purpose are worth coming forth from the womb. If that baby is going to, as Westfox says, be able to connect with people and with God, then perhaps it’s a life worth living, but a heartbeat is not an indication of that.

State Restrictions on Abortion

Posted by Matt Lockett on April 21, 2011

Pro-abortion advocates like the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (formerly the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws…not sure where the extra R went) are concerned about the unprecedented number of pro-life bills that have been steadily making their way forward in the state legislatures in recent weeks. Some of them are among the strongest the nation has ever seen in terms of restrictions on abortion.

What kind of restrictions does your state currently have?

Ohio Seeks to Ban Abortion Once Heartbeat is Detected

Posted by Christina Martin on April 21, 2011

What do red heart balloons have to do with the ending of abortion? A lot if you are a pro-life Ohio resident. Supporters of Ohio’s “Heartbeat Bill” are sending thousands of these balloons to their state representatives and senators, along with the message “Have a heart, pass the heartbeat bill!”

What exactly is the heartbeat bill? The HB 125- Heartbeat Bill does three main things. 1) It requires the abortionist to check and see if the unborn baby the woman is carrying has a heartbeat. 2) If the child does have a heartbeat, the abortionist is required to tell the mother. 3) If the baby is found to have a detectable heartbeat, they are to be protected from being killed through an elective abortion.

Many in the pro-life community are calling this bill Ohio’s strongest piece of legislation.

Who Pressed Repeat? When Slavery Meets Abortion

Posted by Marisol Sanchez on April 20, 2011

In my last post, I wrote about the Zoe Foundation’s Randy and Kelsey Bohlender and the beginnings of their journey of putting feet to their intercession for the ending of abortion through adoption. This post continues their story from their book The Spirit of Adoption: Winning the Battle for the Children. It’s a little history lesson, and in light of what has taken place with the vote last week in the Senate in favor of funding Planned Parenthood, I thought it quite appropriate to remind ourselves that though we’ve made some progress as a nation, we haven’t come very far at all.

From the very conception of our nation, there was an idea that perhaps some men and women were not fully human. It’s hard to explain the thought process behind slavery – much of it was financially motivated – but it rested on the idea that one human being’s body might be the property of another.

This idea was quantified by the Three Fifths Compromise made in the Philadelphia Convention of 1787, when southern states wanted to use their large population of slaves to account for the number of delegates they demanded in the US House of Representatives.

Komen’s Race against Publicity

Posted by Susan Michelle on April 19, 2011

A few weeks ago I wrote about the conflict of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, sponsors of Race for the Cure and other breast cancer awareness campaigns, funding Planned parenthood despite the fact that Planned Parenthood doesn’t do mammograms, the leading medical screen for breast cancer. Now Komen is having to respond to its public who wants to know where its cash is being funneled. It turns out, funnel is a good word because what begins in the wide top of Planned Parenthood runs down into community health clinics and other places that actually serve women with breast cancer by providing mammograms. This begs the obvious question: Why not just give the one directly to the programs that actually do the service?

LifeNews reports:

Last year, Komen spokesman John Hammarley confirmed 20 of Komen’s 122 affiliates have made donations to Planned Parenthood and, in 2009, those contributions totaled $731,303. He also confirmed Komen affiliates contributed about $3.3 million to the abortion business from 2004-2009.

While Komen tries to downplay the donations by noting only 19 affiliates give money to Planned Parenthood, the fact remains that it’s $730,303 dollars that those 19 affiliates are giving. That’s a lot of race entries to funnel money elsewhere, but that’s what Komen is finally admitting it’s doing.
