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.

The headline:

Clamor masivo en Madrid contra el aborto

I’ll translate for any of your liberals out there who can’t figure it out.

Here’s a link to the video. When that many people turn out for life and hope, then we have to say that, just perhaps, Europe can be saved – that there are enough Christians left on the Continent, even at this point, to turn things around.

A libertarian acquaintance of mine and I share a number of views in common; we are both for smaller and less intrusive government, as well as the right to pursue happiness in ways of our own choosing.

Where my libertarian acquaintance and I part ways is the question of abortion, and a woman’s so-called right to choose whether or not to maintain the developing life inside her womb. Although this acquaintance is personally pro-life, she appears to think that it is not necessarily the role of government to dictate whether a woman must carry a baby to term.

I wrote,

“I can get behind much of what you believe in.

Except for the abortion part.

You see, my right to do what I want with my fist ends with your face.

And the right of what a person can do with his or her body ends when that person’s choice interferes with another innocent person’s God-given right to live, no matter what station in life or life stage one finds oneself. (read it in the preamble to the Constitution)

The woman’s so-called right to “choose” is not a question of freedom. It goes much deeper than that. It’s a question of one’s fundamental right to exist. When that is called into question, the right to “freedom” is moot.”

Yes, one has a right to engage in the behavior that may or may not produce a life. But one does not have a right nor necessarily the freedom to escape dealing with the consequences of one’s choices, especially when that choice impinges on another’s primary and fundamental right of existence.

The story:

India’s feminists and population control-pushing government are “stumped” by the dramatic drop of female births among the wealthier classes due to sex-selective abortions, reports the Globe and Mail’s Indian correspondent Stephanie Nolen.

Due to a ’son preference’ in Indian culture, the use of new technologies to detect and abort baby girls has become widespread…

… India’s 2001 census revealed that there were only 927 girls aged 0-6 per 1,000 boys, a marked drop from the 1991 census, which found 945 per 1000. This means that in that decade there were 35 million fewer females registered in the country than males, according to Canada’s International Development Research Centre.

The statistics in certain areas are shocking. The IDRC revealed last year that the wealthier urban families of the Indian Punjab have merely 300 girls for every 1,000 boys. In South Delhi, the ratio is 832:1000, and in the state of Haryana it’s 822:1000.

“Conventional wisdom has long held that as India develops – as more families struggle their way into the middle class, more girls go to school and more women join the work force – traditional ideas about the lesser value of girls will erode,” writes Nolen. “The incentive to abort them would fall away.”

“Instead, the opposite has happened,” she continues, “and the reasons – and solutions – have government and activists stumped.”

Its really quite simple – ABORTION IS EVIL. When you propose to do something evil, what you will get is evil results. I’m not going too fast here, am I, liberals? You do realize that if you’re killing innocent people that you’re not going to get sweetness, light and reason as a result, don’t you?

Well, of course you don’t. Because you don’t want to – because its easier to be a coward and go along with evil rather than bravely do the right thing. In India and China, its girls bearing the brunt of abortion…in the United States, is minority children…elsewhere in the world where abortion is legal is probably many other evils. A rotten, stinking thing is abortion – and we must end it.

Goodness, what a well spring of human love:

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar told US news service MSNBC they are delighted to discover the impending arrival of their 19th child. Described by the Today program as “glowing,” Michelle Duggar said, “I’m feeling sick and tired, which is a good way to be feeling about right now.”

“I always tell myself that’s a good way to be because that means good things are happening.”

The baby is due to arrive around March 18, 2010.

The family stars in the reality TV show “18 Kids and Counting” airing on TLC. The family are members of the Quiverfull movement among US Protestants that rejects the modern anti-child philosophy and allows God to decide how large their families will be.

The news of Michelle’s pregnancy, only eight months after the birth of their last child Jordyn-Grace, was followed by that of the family’s eldest son, Josh, who announced that his new wife Anna is expecting their first child, who is due on October 18. “Children are a blessing and a gift if you raise them right, and I think my parents have definitely shown that,” Josh Duggar said.

Most people simply will not have 19 children, even if they remain open to Life as God intends – God, I think, is providing a bit of instruction here. The family is happy, filled with love and seems to be completely free of the social pathologies we see in all too many of our families these days…those oh, so “planned” families.

So, how does the left react to this? With the only thing they have – hate:

…When the story was published on the website of the left-leaning Huffington Post, commenters did not hesitate to express their hostility to the Duggar’s openness to life. 1081 commenters responded with nearly uniform outrage that the Duggars, who have no financial problems, live in a large house they built themselves and are not in debt, have the audacity to be happy with their large family.

“Nothing but pure selfishness,” said one…

Mutual self-donation and the open well springs of life are examples of selfishness? Yes, if you are on the left – where the only generosity in existence is government-funded and the proper role of sex is personal pleasure. Rather sad, actually – the fools don’t realize what they’re missing.

Life – always choose life. You’ll never go wrong, that way.

And its a badge of honor:

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards is so upset that the nation’s Catholic bishops are opposed to being forced to pay for abortions in the health care “reform” bills that she has written a new editorial saying so. The editorial is making its way across the pro-abortion blogosphere.

In various letters to members of Congress, the Catholic bishops have made it clear that they support health care reform as long as it does not involve taxpayer-financing of abortion.

Richards, whose top goal at Planned Parenthood is making sure abortion is included and that her centers get government funds from the government-run health care plan, used the tried and true approach of talking about everything other than abortion.

She claims abortion is merely a first step and that the Catholic bishops will begin defining legitimate medical procedures out of universal health care, as if the bishops would begin opposing medical care or surgeries.

Its the same old/same old from PP – worried about the fact that fewer doctors are willing to sully their honor with elective abortions and worried that their time on the government gravy train might come to an end, the PP people are determined to get abortion in the health care bill, force doctors to perform them and, of course, keep themselves at the taxpayer trough.

This poor woman, Cecile Richards, would be well advised to drop it – seriously, to dedicate one’s life to such a cause is just a miserable waste of a life. There is so much good she could do – especially for womens health – but she prefers to gnaw the dry bone of the Culture of Death to the very end.

Interesting new wrinkle in the Belmont Abbey case:

In an exclusive interview with LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) , Belmont Abbey College president Dr. William Thierfelder said officials at the Charlotte division of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) told him that a decision to close a discrimination complaint against the school for failing to offer contraception coverage was reversed after the matter went to the nation’s capital.

Eight BAC faculty members filed a complaint against the college for removing coverage for abortion, sterilization, and contraception from their employee health insurance, supplied by Wellpath. The faculty first complained to the North Carolina Department of Insurance that BAC was required to cover contraception under state law because it did not qualify for the religious employer exemption. Both the state department and Wellpath, however, disagreed with the complainants.

“If you ever came on this campus, the first thing you see is the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians,” said Thierfelder. “That basilica is connected to a monastery. That monastery is connected to the main administration building.”

The group of complainants, who joined forces with the National Women’s Law Center, then made a gender discrimination complaint to the EEOC, which in March informed the Abbey that it had closed the issue. Two months later, the EEOC reversed its decision.

What is the National Women’s Law Center? Here’s a sample from their website:

Jill offered a presentation called “Prosecuting Pregnancy,” where she talked about state actions that criminalize the medical decision-making and drug use of pregnant women. For example, women have been criminally prosecuted with such charges as child endangerment, neglect, or fetal homicide when their newborn infants test positive for drugs at birth. Jill posed the question: Is it right to prosecute pregnant women when they (or their newborn children) test positive for illegal drugs while we don’t prosecute anyone else for who tests positive for illegal drugs? And she answered it for us, too: No, she said, because having illegal drugs in your body is not a crime — even for a pregnant woman. Jill explained that the Supreme Court has held that it is unconstitutional to criminalize a person’s status, including the status of being an addict. A person can be charged with possession of a drug, but the appearance of that drug in their system can’t be a crime.

A group which insists that taking illegal drugs is not a crime. Interesting, to say the least – but entirely in keeping with a pro-abortion view that absolutely everything is ok as long as you stick “choice” some where in there. I think we can tell where the pressure lies, here – kook leftists weren’t about to let something as trivial as the law get in the way of smacking down a Catholic college which, you know?, actually insists upon being Catholic.

We can expect more of this as long as Obama is President – because his staff it just shot through with people either directly from screwball groups like the NWLC, or in sympathy with their views. Vigilance will be needed to defend liberty.
