Tuesday saw a surge of pro-life women candidates:

Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser called Tuesday’s victories for pro-life women candidates “the greatest affirmation of our mission in the history of the organization,” and “proof that Americans are responding to authentic, pro-life feminism.”

“We applaud Americans in California, New Jersey, Nevada, South Carolina and South Dakota for taking steps to support authentic, pro-life feminism with their votes,” said Dannenfelser. “Now more than ever, we need pro-woman, pro-life leadership. These women will usher in the year of the pro-life woman and win back critical pro-life margins in the House and Senate.”…

The liberal feminists were, if anything, in continual war against all that women stand for. Faith, family and home are words of insult on the left – but now women who are smart, strong and successful while at the same time pro-life and pro-family are rising to the top.

It is a sign of political health that such women as Sharron Angle and Carly Fiorina can rise so high – especially when some of the women who won on Tuesday were written off early on in the primary campaign (at one point, Angle polled a mere 5%). This is now the real Year of the Woman – the pro-life, patriotic, independent and courageous woman.

The world is being turned up side down – and at the end of this year, nothing will ever be the same in American politics again.

Nothing good can come of the Culture of Death – this is just more proof of that:

Women who refuse requests from their husbands or boyfriends to have abortions are often finding themselves subject to violent attacks that sometimes result in their deaths. That’s the finding of a new report from the Elliot Institute, which calls the problem a “widespread epidemic.”

The new report, Forced Abortion in America, is drawing attention to attacks on pregnant women and girls in order to prevent them from continuing their pregnancies.

It points out a “widespread epidemic of unwanted, coerced and forced abortions taking place in the United States.”

The report notes how research suggests most abortions are likely unwanted or coerced, with one survey of women who had abortions finding that 64 percent said they felt pressured by others to abort.

Death is something never to be sought – it comes to us all, of course, but it is not something we are supposed to court. Our natural inclination is to live – life is good, and God has written that on our hearts. When we choose death, when we go out of our way to inflict it without cause, we have chosen evil. And out of that evil, worse will follow.

The Culture of Life is the only rational position to hold – it is in line with human nature and expresses the truth of our condition. We must end this scourge of abortion in order to regain a rational society.

The fading of the narcissistic and irresponsible “Boomers” is, perhaps, allowing a rise not so much conservative but humane values:

As LifeNews.com reported, the May 3-6 Gallup poll revealed 47 percent of Americans say they are pro-life on abortion versus 45 percent who say they are “pro-choice,” supporting legal abortions.

That included 47 percent of 18-29 year-olds who say they are pro-life, an increase of five percent from the 2008 Gallup figures.

And 45 percent of Americans aged 30-49 said they are pro-life, an increase of three percent from 2008 and an increase of five percent from 2006.

There is much to be distressed about in America’s youth – but with all their problems, they yet provide military personnel the equal to any of our past and rebels as stout as Samuel Adams…and now added to the wonderful mix, an increasing concern for the least among us. God works, as we say, in mysterious ways and it could be that after a couple generations of increasing depravity that we are now faced with a group of young people burnt out on their elders idiocy – they are seeking truth, and we know they shall find what they seek.

There are massive social pathologies in America – a nation which fears that its children may be molested at any moment is not a nation in good moral health. But the seeds of a reborn America are showing up everywhere and I am heartened by what I see and hear.

On display:

The story of this horrible evil deserves righteous anger. It is entirely appropriate to scream and wail. There doesn’t seem to be nearly enough wailing – that may be what is beginning to bother me most. I am enraged by the overriding hush.

The UK Telegraph reported April 28 that in the town of Rossano, Italy, a 22 week-old baby boy was aborted alive, wrapped in a sheet with his umbilical cord still attached and left alone to die. 20 hours later, he was discovered by a priest who went to pray beside his body and noticed that the baby was moving and breathing. Doctors then had the baby taken to a neighboring hospital to be cared for in a neonatal intensive care unit, where he ultimately died, nearly two days after being ripped from his mother’s womb and discarded like trash.

His mother decided to end his life because prenatal scans suggested he was disabled. Suggested. Possibly disabled; declared unworthy to live. He was murdered by heartless animals wearing lab coats, who have medical degrees hung in frames on their office walls. He was handed over to death by the one who was entrusted by God with his care, and he was killed and thrown away by those who take an oath to “first do no harm.”

God have mercy on all of us. This has gone on long enough – human life is not to be discarded as trash.

If you believe that abortion is ok, then you believe this was ok. You are glad such a thing happened, because you believe that human life is, indeed, trash to be discarded.

Do not try to tell my you have compassion in your heart. Do not try to tell me that you care about the helpless and suffering. You agree with legal abortion, then you agree with this.

Make your choice – your real choice. Are you for life, or for death? Are you human, or a beast in human skin?

UPDATE: The “defect”? It was a completely treatable cleft palate.

UPDATE II: If for some reason you are unclear as to what makes a “beast in human skin”, here’s an example.

A big step in the right direction:

The legislation in Georgia that would ban abortions done specifically because the child is African-American or a girl jumped through its latest hurdle. The Georgia House Judiciary Committee voted 10-8 on Wednesday to vote SB 529 out of committee and send it to the Rules Committee.

The rules panel will consider the bill before it heads to the full state House floor and a vote in the committee could come as early as Tuesday.

Always good to keep in mind that abortion and birth control were first advanced by eugenicists who felt that blacks and other “inferiors” shouldn’t breed. Had to get the lesser breeds out of the blood stream, as it were, in order for the strong, white people to have a clear path towards creating a Brave, New World…and other such utter sh**.

Abortion is the badge of our age – a badge of shame as much as slavery was in an earlier time. In both cases, the inherent dignity of humanity is denied and people are treated as disposable.

There will come a time when people will wonder how anyone could abort a child, much as we wonder how anyone could assert the right to hold a human being in bondage.

They tend to get rather insane about it:

…Ms. Maddow simply does not like the fact that Bart Stupak is a defender of the fundamental human Right to Life. She is mad that he will not back down from his position rooted in the objective truth, revealed by the Natural Law and confirmed by medical science that the child in the womb is one of us. She is a supporter of what is being called the “Right to Choose”, which simply means the protection with the Police Power of the State of those who engage in the killing of children in the womb…

…Rachel Maddow called Stupak´s principled defense of the Right to life “a stunt.” In one of her more emotional rants in this horrid report – rather than address the issues which Congressman Stupak and so many others are concerned about – she simply said “he´s lying.” She ended by calling his effort a “quixotic, nonsense crusade” and in a final childish insult asserted “Bart Stupak gets to go on TV, that´s why he´s doing it.”

Rachel Maddow is not alone in her venomous hatred of Congressman Stupak. She is joined by the National Organization for Women who have accused him of being “Un- American” and of “imposing” his Catholic faith on the Nation…

Nothing new, of course. To the Church of Liberalism, abortion is a sacrament and the goal of all good liberals is to get it federally funded and on demand. Why? I wish I really knew. For crying out loud, I can’t even really understand someone thinking abortion is ok – but to think its a moral good and thus deserves taxpayer support is so entirely outside of normal human experience that I can’t grasp it. I mean, is Maddow planning on having an abortion and doesn’t have the money to cover it?

There are so many other issues liberals can fight for, but all of them – sooner or later – get subordinated to abortion. Why was Ted Kennedy able to get away with his disgraceful treatment of women? He backed abortion rights. Why was Bill Clinton given a pass on his serial adultery? He kept vetoing the partial-birth abortion ban. On and on it goes – no matter what else happens, liberals are determined above all else on expanding abortion…and getting the taxpayer to eventually pay for it.

Ah, well: I guess there’s nothing we can do about them, as they are. We’ll just have to beat them at the polls so badly that we can start to roll back abortion, step by step. Once the beastly practice is gone, these fanatics will slip away – just as the defenders of slavery and segregation eventually gave up talking about them, once they were out of our political system. In the end, by ending abortion, we’ll be doing the pro-abortion people a favor – we’ll relieve them of having to defend an inhuman practice.

Among the many dreadful things modern liberalism will bring, this is one of the worst:

A new United Nations Development Program (UNDP) report released March 8, entitled “Power, Voice and Rights: A Turning Point for Gender Equality in Asia and the Pacific,” and coinciding with International Women’s Day, highlights the fact that sex-selective abortion continues to increase the gender imbalance in developing countries.

Under the heading “more women than ever are disappearing,” a press release from the UNDP announcing the new report says, “The problem of ‘missing girls’ in which more boys are born than girls, as girl fetuses are presumably aborted, and women die from health and nutrition neglect – is actually growing. Birth gender disparity is greatest in East Asia, where 119 boys are born for every 100 girls.”

The report found that “China and India together account for more than 85 million of the nearly 100 million ‘missing’ women estimated to have died from discriminatory treatment in health care, nutrition access or pure neglect or because they were never born in the first place.”

Seeking the death of the innocent is never the answer. For all of liberalism’s alleged concern for the plight of women, the real result of liberalism is death for women – at all stages of life, but especially when in the womb.

This is demographic catastrophe – China and India, still with growing population, are about to enter first a rapid aging of their population, then a rapid decline of total population.

The aging will put a huge strain on economies which are still poor and primitive in spite of great strides over the past few decades. Then will come the simple lack of young people to man the industries which have been built up over the past 20 or so years. Europe has plugged the gap by importing Moslem youth – proving ever more indigestible and, moreover, only a temporary fix as Islam has also been infected by the Culture of Death and is undergoing a rapid decline in birth rates (in Iran and Tunisia, its already below replacement level, and only barely above it in Turkey and Algeria). China and India have no practical place to import youth from.

This is death for the world – but only for part of the world. And the meek, it seems, really shall inherit the Earth.

Because for them, abortion is more important than anything else:

New undercover footage shows staff at a Milwaukee, Wisc. Planned Parenthood abortion clinic apparently breaking the law by counseling a purportedly 14-year-old statutory rape victim not to tell anyone about her 31-year-old boyfriend, and coaching her how to obtain an abortion without her parents’ consent.

The new video, the seventh in a series from Live Action documenting similar behavior in 5 other states, comes amid recent controversy about Planned Parenthood’s compliance with state laws regarding minors and abortion.

After hearing that the girl is 14 and her boyfriend is “much older,” the counselor in the video says that whether or not the situation will be reported by clinic workers “depends on the person you’re disclosing that information to.” When the girl says that her boyfriend is 31, the counselor tells her, “You don’t have to say anything” about the statutory rape and instructs her, “Just give them the information that’s needed.” The counselor also confirms that the 31-year-old “boyfriend” will be paying for the abortion.

In Wisconsin, sex between an adult and a minor under age 16 is a felony, and health care professionals are required to report such cases to law enforcement immediately. The law specifically includes abortion providers in this requirement.

When you get in to dispensing death for pay, there isn’t any lower down the moral scale you can do. And so we see this again and again – and, remember, this is just the investigation of the practice. The reason this is being done is because of all the real cases of child abusers disposing of the strongest evidence against them via abortion.

Planned Parenthood still gets federal funding – what should be happening is prosecution as precursor to the dissolution of this criminal, anti-human organization.

And its really rather sad:

The national director for Generation Life says it comes as no surprise that liberal groups are upset over a Super Bowl ad featuring Tim Tebow and his mother.

Focus on the Family produced the 30-second spot, which is slated to run during the CBS broadcast on Sunday and reportedly will feature Pam Tebow recounting her decision to carry Tim to full-term, despite a doctor’s advice to have an abortion due to health concerns.

Liberal and feminist groups were quick to denounce the ad, even though it has yet to be previewed, and Brandi Swindell, founder and national director of Generation Life, contends the heated opposition shows the liberal groups’ true colors.

“They’re not really pro-choice organizations — they are pro-abortion organizations,” she contends. “So it’s disappointing when you see ads that pretend to be pro-woman, that at the end of the day are completely anti-woman. And we see them being very pro-abortion, very anti-woman as they protest and are so angry over this ad.”

The National Organization for Women has criticized the network’s decision to air the ad, saying it (is) “life threatening” and “extraordinarily offensive and demeaning.” To which, self-described pro-choice sports columnist Sally Jenkins replies : “If the pro-choice stance is so precarious that a story about someone who chose to carry a risky pregnancy to term undermines it, then CBS is not the problem.”

And there is the final truth of the matter – while plenty of people, as individuals, are pro-choice, the so-called “pro-choice” movement is actually pro-abortion. They are on the war path against this ad because it is an effective ad – it shows that even in the most trying of times, where there is life, there is hope. The leaders of the “pro-choice” movement are worried that the ad will just continue a long-standing trend – of more and more women choosing life and hope over death and despair.

I’ve come to the conclusion that there are two motivators for the “pro-choice” movement: greed and guilt. Greed, on the part of some who make bank off either performing abortion or running “pro-choice” groups. Guilt, on the part of those who have obtained, performed or assisted in abortion – or, by advocacy, have clearly advanced abortion – and now carry about the knowledge that they are complicit in murder of the unborn. The real pity is that they don’t realize that forgiveness and redemption are just a prayer away – they can get the burden of death off their shoulders and become people of Life, just by asking.

But pride isn’t a deadly sin just for the heck of it – it is, in my view, the deadliest of the deadly sins because it prevents us from rejecting all sin, and from accepting any salvation. People don’t like to admit they are wrong – it hurts the pride to have to humbly admit to error. And this especially true of those errors which remain after we’ve excused ourselves 10,000 times because of circumstances, and now are face to face with that error which clearly and absolutely our fault. Something we did which we know was wrong before we did it. As long as Pride hangs around such an error, the prideful person will never let it go.

And so the pro-abortion stones will continue to be cast, though it is clear that the Culture of Life is slowly winning the battle. This is natural because life is natural – we’re built for it and eagerly accept it; to reject it and to seek its end for trivial reasons just goes against the grain.

Because the Culture of Death simply wants us to shut up:

Dr. Kevin Roberts, executive director of the Catholic grassroots advocacy group, Catholic Families for America (CFA), announced his organization’s sponsorship of a nationwide petition drive in support of CBS’ decision to air the pro-life advertisement featuring Tim Tebow during the Super Bowl.

“It doesn’t take long for the pro-abortion crowd to mobilize their members,” Roberts said, “so those of us on the pro-life, pro-family side need to be sure we do the same.” Roberts continued by describing how his organization would rally its members and those of similar groups to attract several thousand signatories.

The petition can be accessed at www.ipetitions.com/petition/prolifead.

Catholic Families for America is a nationwide grassroots organization run by lay Catholics, with offices in Austin, Texas, and Washington, D.C.

Medved had one of those pro-abortion fanatics on his radio show the other day – when he asked her “is life better than death”, she answered “I don’t think that’s the issue”. Just horrible that someone can think like that.

The thing about this is that the ad is not anything overtly anti-abortion – it just has the Heisman trophy winner and his mother pointing out that life is good. This, of course, gets the Culture of Death in a snit – they are worried that some young, frightened mother out there might take heart and decide to keep her child – something just too horrible to contemplate, for the pro-abortion people.

I just don’t get it – I don’t understand why anyone would defend a “choice” to kill an unborn child, or have any problem with a woman deciding to do the right thing. Shows how inhuman we’ve become after a century or two or liberal “humanism”.

This isn’t going to go away:

…We know exactly what human life costs – the price of a vote. Be it millions or billions, there is ultimately a figure at which men will sell each other for personal gain. I suppose that fact has always been true, but this year it seems much more profane because the ones being sold to the executioner are our own children.

It is unspeakably crass and repugnant that Reid and this Administration are demanding this national monstrosity be finalized by Christmas. It is a sad, sad testament to the fact that our nation has lost its soul. We will commemorate the birth of the Christ Child by passing legislation that mandates the use of people’s tax dollars to pay for abortion nationwide. “Happy Birthday, Jesus. I guess You’re lucky to have made it out of the womb alive.”

It is a telling irony that we should not miss. We should pay close attention to the bitterness of this timeline and heed the warning. How can we welcome the Infant King when we refuse to welcome our own infants? Indeed, we do not welcome our own children precisely because we do not welcome Christ. It is no wonder we don’t recognize Him…

It seems there are no “blue dog” Democrats. No “moderate” Democrats. No “pro-life” Democrats. Are there two types of Democrats – those who have sold their souls, and those who are still waiting for the right price? Can anyone with pro-life views remain part of the Democrat party? Not only are pro-lifers suppressed in the Democrat party, but now we see that even those who allegedly believe in life can be bought off.

This horrendous, anti-human bill now looks certain to go to Conference where Nancy, Reid and their cronies in Big Government and Big Corporation will gather ’round to carve up American health care. The result of this – likely with little notice and without being put out where the people can read it – will then be presented for up or down votes in the House and Senate. It is to the House that those who value life now turn their attention – with the Stupak Amendment, the House passed Obamacare with only two votes to spare. If the Conference bill comes out with no Stupak or some watered down, fool-only-a-knave language, then it will be up to pro-life Democrats in the House to let us know, once and for all, if a pro-life person can with honor remain part of the Democrat party.

If Nelson doesn’t reverse his position, this will kill his career:

Did he actually take money in exchange for backing down on his commitment to not vote for any bill which allowed for federal tax money to be used to kill children in the womb in the name of “health care.”

If Senator Ben Nelson actually sold his vote for a bag of silver for Nebraska then this has become a “Judas moment”…and its implications are evil.

The timing of such a vote, coming on the Eve of the great day when the entire world celebrates the birth of a baby whose saving life, death and resurrection forever changed human history, is more than profane it is blasphemous!

We know the Culture of Death people will always try to win the day for their views. We know that weak-kneed pro-choicers will always bail out on us at the last minute. But when someone spends a lifetime in politics as an alleged voice for the unborn and then breaks faith, that is just a horrible thing. It is a thing which will not be forgotten. Nelson has betrayed all he claims to have stood for – and he did it just for a bit of pork spending!

This is why we on the pro-life side must completely abandon the Democrat party – Democrats simply can’t be trusted. In the end, it seems that a Democrat will surrender any position if he gets some bacon to take back home – they don’t understand what morality is and it becomes clear that they are often just mouthing the words of life because their constituency is opposed to abortion.

Nelson can still recover from this – but only if he very swiftly changes his mind and returns to a firm insistence upon an absolute, legislative ban on federal funding for abortion.

Remember, yesterday, when I pointed out an anti-human article advocating that the whole world go on China’s evil “one child” policy? Well, here’s the kicker:

Wang Weijia and her husband grew up surrounded by propaganda posters lecturing them that “Mother Earth is too tired to sustain more children” and “One more baby means one more tomb.”

They learned the lesson so well that when Shanghai government officials, alarmed by their city’s low birthrate and aging population, abruptly changed course this summer and began encouraging young couples to have more than one child, their reaction was instant and firm: No way.

“We have already given all our time and energy for just one child. We have none left for a second,” said Wang, 31, a human resources administrator with an 8-month-old son.

More than 30 years after China’s one-child policy was introduced, creating two generations of notoriously chubby, spoiled only children affectionately nicknamed “little emperors,” a population crisis is looming in the country.

The average birthrate has plummeted to 1.8 children per couple as compared with six when the policy went into effect, according to the U.N. Population Division, while the number of residents 60 and older is predicted to explode from 16.7 percent of the population in 2020 to 31.1 percent by 2050. That is far above the global average of about 20 percent.

And not only that, there is the imbalance between men and women. Chinese culture, as in the case of a lot of non-western culture, highly values male children – and, so, as one-child became the rule, more and more couples would abort female babies in favor of male children. The Culture of Death is just like that – everything about it is wrong, and all of its effects are bad.

It is high time that we stopped thinking that we can get justice out of injustice – that right will emerge from wrong. Doing the right thing almost invariably seems to be more difficult, but as facts come in, it is always revealed that it was the best thing to do. Life is a wonderful thing – even at its worst, it is still sublime. We’re always doing the wrong thing, these days. Faced with teen pregnancy, we teach them how to have sex. Faced with a growing underclass, we subsidize it. Faced with historic injustice, we apply further injustice. Perhaps we should just try to do the right thing, from now on?

Come together in this amazingly anti-human article:

The “inconvenient truth” overhanging the UN’s Copenhagen conference is not that the climate is warming or cooling, but that humans are overpopulating the world.

A planetary law, such as China’s one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days…

…The fix is simple. It’s dramatic. And yet the world’s leaders don’t even have this on their agenda in Copenhagen. Instead there will be photo ops, posturing, optics, blah-blah-blah about climate science and climate fraud, announcements of giant wind farms, then cap-and-trade subsidies.

None will work unless a China one-child policy is imposed…

What is the “one child” policy? It is a policy which mandates forced abortions and sterilization once you’ve had one child per couple. It would “work”; there would be a lot less people around. But are there really too many of us?

The author notes that we’ll reach 9 billion people by 2050 – and “unsustainable” number, in her view. Left out – because it doesn’t fit with a hate-filled, anti-human screed – is the fact that population growth rates, currently about 1.22%, are expected to fall to 0.33% by 2050. Also left out is the fact that some estimates have global population at 7.4 billion in 2050…this if the reduction in the birth rate continues on as current (and there’s no indication of a change in this pattern). Further left out is the projection that population could be 500 million less in 2100 than it was in 2000.

The truth about human population is that the Culture of Death has already seized hold of us – birth rates are dropping like a rock all around the world and most of Europe already has a birth rate lower than replacement. But voluntary suicide isn’t enough – when you really, really hate yourself and the human race, you want more positive measures. So, a one-child policy naturally commends itself.

All of this is, of course, utter nonsense. We’re not overpopulated now. We won’t be overpopulated in 2050. We can never actually overpopulate the world. Breed like mad and without any sense at all and we’ll still not be able to overcome the amount of land and resources available. Current global population density for the land area of the world is about 118 per mile. Japan’s is 874; and Japan is not exactly and environmental basket case. Put 42 billion people on earth and we still won’t have the population density of Japan. Anyone out there think that we’re ever going to reach 42 billion? 20 billion? Heck, even 10 billion? My bet is on the low end of population projections, given that even a here to for fertile nation like Mexico is only an ace away from being below replacement in fertility.

Some of the nations which are already below replacement level include Tunisia (just in case you think all Moslem nations breed like rabbits), China, Germany, Brazil, Japan, Poland (just in case you think Catholic countries are immune), New Zealand and Puerto Rico. Among the nations which will probably shortly fall in to the negative are Iran, United States, Vietnam, Turkey and Indonesia. The most fertile nation on earth is Niger – one of the three nations which have a birth rate of 7 or more per child. My great-grandparents had 14, and that wasn’t unusual a century ago; so, 7 really isn’t all that much in the grand scheme of things. Keep in mind that each nation which falls below 2.1 children per couple can only maintain its current population by immigration – but even the nations which supply the immigrants are drying up.

Our problem is no longer how to deal with growing population, but how to prepare ourselves for a world which will have a declining population. Don’t tell this to the Culture of Death people, however, because it would upset them – if they can’t promulgate new ways to murder the innocent, their whole day is wrecked.

This will certainly make things interesting:

The Senate narrowly rejected an amendment that would have restricted abortion coverage in the pending health-care bill, leaving in question whether Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) has the 60 votes needed to move the bill toward final passage.

The measure, which failed 54-45, addressed the scope of restrictions on coverage of abortion services for people who receive subsidies to buy insurance. The outcome was expected, but could cost the support of Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), who has threatened to filibuster the $848 billion bill unless abortion restrictions are tightened.

Pro-life or pro-choice, a majority of Americans has consistently opposed federal funds for elective abortion.

Question: Does this kill the bill? Can Reid get 60 votes for cloture without a ban on abortion funding? If he can swing it, are there 218 votes in the House to pass a health care bill without an explicit ban? That 54 voted against the ban shows that the pro-abortion fanatics are pressing hard for this – we’ll have to see how this comes out.

Now, if we can just force this inhuman organization out of business:

Last week, InsiderCatholic.com issued a story referring to a Harvard Business School case study which outlined some of Planned Parenthood’s recent financial difficulties. According to Mauricio Roman’s article, Planned Parenthood has recently consolidated its affiliates, pushed for more cost effective procedures such as chemical abortions versus in-clinic abortions, and has tried to increase its sale of emergency contraceptive kits.

The Harvard case study, released in April of 2009, claims that “tough economic times, a hostile political environment” and inability to raise philanthropic dollars are among the reasons for Planned Parenthood’s financial difficulties, despite the fact that the non-profit organization claimed $85 million in profits in 2008.

Part of the reason Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups are pushing hard for federally funded abortion via ObamaCare is because of this increasing financial stress. We must fight hard against putting the abortion industry on the federal dole – and then our continuing actions against the Culture of Death will eventually see such groups consigned to the ash heap of history.

The story:

A car crash victim has spoken of the horror he endured for 23 years after he was misdiagnosed as being in a coma when he was conscious the whole time.

Rom Houben, trapped in his paralysed body after a car crash, described his real-life nightmare as he screamed to doctors that he could hear them – but could make no sound.

‘I screamed, but there was nothing to hear,’ said Mr Houben, now 46, who doctors thought was in a persistent vegatative state.

‘I dreamed myself away,’ he added, tapping his tale out with the aid of a computer.

Doctors used a range of coma tests before reluctantly concluding that his consciousness was ‘extinct’.

But three years ago, new hi-tech scans showed his brain was still functioning almost completely normally.

Mr Houben described the moment as ‘my second birth’. Therapy has since allowed him to tap out messages on a computer screen.

The Culture of Death will be dismayed by this.

Honestly, people, we must always err on the side of life. Those who are insistent upon killing or allowing to die people we might perceive as being “brain dead” or what have you are making assertions of impossible knowledge. If someone’s heart is beating and his other vital signs are normal, then that person is alive – and for all we know is thinking deeply about his current condition while we think he’s vegetative.

We must not kill the innocent – or allow the suffering to die. We know a great deal about our brains, but even in that are our knowledge is still limited – and we know nothing of the mind which uses the brain to manipulate things in the natural world. We’re making judgments based on partial knowledge – and for entirely ideological reasons. Because some people want to think that a human being is just the accidental result of blind, materialist-determinist evolution, they will insist we kill those humans they believe are not up to snuff.

With stories like this, any person of good will must come down hard on the side of life – if someone is to die, then they will die…with more or less suffering, but entirely outside of our control. Our duty is to do as well as we can by the suffering and then leave the rest in the hands of the Author of Life.

The left is insistent that death be an integral part of Obamacare:

I’m getting a lot of constituent mail forwarded to me from family and friends in California. I thought I’d share this letter to a constituent from Rep. George Miller (D-CA), co-author of the House version of health care reform, and one of the most odious and dutiful representatives of the abortion industry in Congress.

The positive thing about this letter is that Rep. Miller is uncharacteristically polite about his enthusiasm for the legal killing of unborn children – the chief sacrament and concern of the Democratic Party’s California delegation. The politeness masks the fact that he’s basically telling the constituent that the Stupak Amendment is DOA if it returns to the House and he’ll help kill it…

…While I did not support the Stupak-Pitts Amendment, it was necessary to allow the amendment to be considered on the House floor in order for the overall health care bill to move forward. That was clear. But I do not believe the final health care bill that emerges from Congress should include language as restrictive as the Stupak-Pitts Amendment and I will work to find language that will guarantee no federal funds can be used for abortion but that protects the safety and rights of women who might need access to such services…

Without “Stupak”, NARAL and Planned Parenthood were ok with the abortion language in the bill – which means they knew that the federal funds would be flowing to the abortuaries. Miller, typical of culture-of-death stooges, is being dishonest.

We still have quite a battle on our hands – a battle for the basic humanity of protecting innocent, unborn life.

The Culture of Death keeps trying to hide itself:

In a bizarre move that will cost British taxpayers thousands of dollars, the government has sued itself in order to hide the number of abortions done on babies with very mild physical disabilities. The pro-life movement in England has been trying to force the government to reveal the number of those abortions.

Last month, the Information Tribunal issued a landmark Freedom of Information Act ruling upholding a previous ruling by the Information Commissioner in favor of the Pro-Life Alliance’s bid to disclose the abortion figures.

Now, the Department of Health is taking the Information Tribunal to court in an attempt to prevent the publication of stats on babies who are aborted, such as those who merely have a cleft palate.

Julia Millington of the Pro-Life Alliance told the London Telegraph last week, “It is a reprehensible waste of public money and court time to continue a fruitless battle to hide this information.”

It is simply shameful that any child is aborted for something like physical defects – its eugenicist nonsense; anti-human cruelty. But, hey, if its save the NHS a pretty penny, then it must be good, right? Can you imagine how much it would cost NHS to fix a cleft palate? Goodness, start doing things like that and there won’t be sufficient pay raises for the unionized employees…

Can’t be too in love with death, I guess, if you’re a Democrat:

It’s alive.

The Medicare end-of-life planning provision that 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said was tantamount to “death panels” for seniors is staying in the latest Democratic health care bill unveiled Thursday.

The provision allows Medicare to pay for voluntary counseling to help beneficiaries deal with the complex and painful decisions families face when a loved one is approaching death.

For years, federal laws and policies have encouraged Americans to think ahead about end-of-life decisions, and make their wishes known in advance through living wills and similar legal documents. But when House Democrats proposed this summer to pay doctors for end-of-life counseling, it touched off a wave of suspicion and anger. Prominent Republicans singled it out as a glaring example of government overreach.

Outside the run-of-the-mill liberal despair which makes them morbid about such things there is the fact that Obamacare will cost far more than we can afford…Donks can raise taxes (unpopular), cut benefits (unpopular) or just sneak in the savings by denying expensive treatments and encouraging people to give up and die quickly. Guess which path they are most likely to choose?

The problem with all these liberal plans is that they presume that there is a human cure for all that ails us. The fact of the matter is that as long as we’re on this world, perfection will not be attained – there will be suffering, and death. Liberals are working on the assumption that they can cure everything – and when faced with reality, they don’t adjust their thinking, they just do wicked and stupid things to try and make it seem like its working.

Mark my words – if this Obamacare becomes law, then the ultimate result will be federally funded abortion and suicide on demand; its a sure as night follows day…because the costs of birth and death are just too much to be worked in to the Obamacare budget.
