Virginia Abortion Clinics Must Follow Same Standards As Hospitals

By Ian Kelly • August 30, 2010 01:55 PM

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the Abortion industry views abortion as a sacrament. Something akin to a divine right and thus should not to be regulated or held to any kind of standard. It is autonomous; living outside and even above the law... and then Virginia said, no.

via LifeSiteNews:

Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli may be about to make abortion “safe, legal, and rare” - simply by making abortion clinics offer women the same standard of care required by other outpatient surgical facilities.

Statistically speaking abortion is the number one surgical procedure that women undergo in the United States, and most abortions are performed in the first trimester.

However in Virginia, as in many other places around the country, abortion facilities have often escaped the health and safety standards that are mandated for other medical facilities, such as hospitals, that engage in out-patient surgery.

"She's Having A Fetus"

By Ian Kelly • August 03, 2010 03:11 PM

Joe Carter, from First Thoughts, has posted a story entitled, "She's Having A Fetus." The narrative is a little to close to reality. You read it and think to yourself that there's no way anyone really thinks like this... then reality breaks in -- people do actually think like this:

Overheard at a local shopping mall:

Jan: “Marsha! How are you girl? I haven’t seen you in ages.”

Marsha: “Hey Jan, you’re looking great. How’ve you been?”

Jan: “Just peachy. Hey, guess what? I’m going to have a fetus!”

Marsha (excited): “That’s wonderful! Oh, I’m so happy for you. Isn’t it a blessing having parasites growing in us?”

Appendicitis Is The Same As Abortion?

By Ian Kelly • July 27, 2010 12:02 PM

Here is some ridiculous reasoning from the pro-abortion blog Finding My Feminism:

While I want to abolish the patriarchy, gender norms and stereotypes and all the negative consequences that stem from them, I don't really care if abortion is ever "gone." I think of abortion like appendectomies. I feel bad for the patient because any invasive medical procedure sucks (trust me, I know), but I don't differentiate between abortion and any other medical procedure. Removing fetal tissue is the same, to me, as removing inflamed tonsils or an infected appendix.

Well, there ya have it folks. I guess we can close up shop because we pro-lifers actually have the audacity to believe that a baby is the result of pregnancy and not an appendix, kidney, or large intestine. Seriously, what were we thinking?!

Pawlenty And Sebelius On Abortion In Healthcare

By Ian Kelly • September 16, 2009 04:01 PM

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Another controversy the President brought up -- he said no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and this is connected to the public option, Governor Pawlenty, because many supporters of the pro-life movement, the anti-abortion activists have said "No, that's not true" -- that the public option that is being considered right now in the House will actually fund abortions.

TIM PAWLENTY: Well, there's an easy way to resolve this. There's a dispute, so just be clear in the bill. If the President is embracing the idea that public monies in public systems won't be used to fund abortions, then we should say that.

The pro-life perspective on this has been viewed by both FactCheck.Org and The AP as having merit. So this is not something people are just making up. There's a legitimate concern about it, but it can and should be clarified.

Common Sense

What is it about common sense that is so elusive to Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry?

Christina Martin is the director of Bound4Life Atlanta and an intercessory missionary at the International House of Prayer Atlanta. For the past 4 years Christina has given herself to the occupation of intercession. It’s her full time job to stand before heaven and earth, God and man, asking for mercy and crying out for truth. She prays, God hears, He moves, She is happy.

Christina is committed to fighting for the unborn. She feels for them because she herself had an appointment to die. Literally. 28 years ago her mother was sitting in a hospital room, waiting for the abortion doctor to call her into his office. An elderly black janitor saw her mom crying and asked her one question “Do you want to have this baby”? Her mom said yes, and the rest was history. She walked out of that clinic with hope in her heart and Christina still safely in her womb.

While in D.C God gave Christina a burden for the African-American community. She was shocked to find out how her race has been targeted by Planned Parenthood from the start of their organization. Christina is convinced she will see Roe v. Wade overturned and abortion end in her lifetime.

Jess Clark divides her time between writing, breaking up fights over Buzz Lightyear, and traveling with a missionary rock and roll band. She and her husband Richy are the parents of 3 small-ish children and are in the process of adopting a 4th.
Kaitlin comes from a family with a long history of pro-life activism having had to bail her father out of jail more than 50 times for efforts to protect the unborn and free speech. She's only been arrested herself on two occasions, but that's enough for street cred. Kaitlin captures the voice of a young generation desperately trying to reconcile Biblical truths with practical application in culture. In fact, she IS the voice of Bound4LIFE videos like "The Numbers Don't Lie" and "Houston, Now Is The Time."
Matt is a husband and proud father of four children. He's a full-time missionary serving as the Director of Bound4LIFE and the Justice House of Prayer DC. Formerly he had a career in advertising and marketing. Periodically he really wishes he had paid more attention in Government class.
Susan Tyrrel is active in Bound4LIFE and works with prayer ministries. She has a Ph.D. in educational psychology from Texas A&M University, and uses her academic skills both inside and outside academia. Currently, she is writing a book on Christian community.
Tiffani Edwards works with a pregnancy resource center in Arizona and is in leadership over the Phoenix House of Prayer. Before living in AZ she was on staff with the Justice House of Prayer in Washington, D.C. for almost 4 years. It was while being in D.C. that her passion for governmental intercession and the ending of abortion was birthed.
