ABORTION STILL MURDERS UNBORN BABIES

From KeepLifeLegal

Yes, it’s true: Abortion has always murdered unborn babies regardless of how the Liberal Agenda and Abortion Agenda try to deny it. ‘Reproductive Freedom’ would lend one to believe that means TO REproduce, not DEproduce. It’s been a lie from the onset, a twist of words to confuse rather than define.

Case in point: The pioneer of the partial-birth abortion, Martin Haskell, retains attorneys Jennifer Branch and Alphonse Gerhardstein, who make their living defending abortionists and call it ‘reproductive freedom’. Read their ‘mission’ statement here.

Ohio Department of Health shut him down, Haskell appealed using Gerhardstein and Branch. And during his appeals process, a stay of execution granted was by Judge Metz, Haskell can ‘do business’,MURDER, until that process concludes.  I have to wonder if everyone else should have the luxury of ‘doing business’ while in appeals, such as serial killers, pedophiles, prostitutes, drug lords, rapists, and thieves? Why shouldn’t they be able to continue to ‘do business’ since the stay essentially says that it isn’t illegal…YET. It’s very apparent that this is political, not rational OR legal.

Understanding Taxpayer Funding of Abortion in ObamaCare

By Kristi Burton Brown
for Live Action News

Since ObamaCare was first proposed, Americans have been in danger of funding thousands more abortions every year. And now, a detailed list created by the Susan B. Anthony List describes how, under the gargantuan mess that is ObamaCare, “as many as 111,500 additional abortions per year could be heavily subsidized by taxpayers.” This, despite the recent reminder provided by a CNN poll that the majority of Americans have always opposed taxpayer-funded abortions.

The SBA List reports that subsidies are one main way that ObamaCare forces taxpayers to fund others’ elective abortions. In twenty-six states, “refundable advanceable ‘affordability’ tax credits” will “heavily subsidize the purchase of insurance plans that cover elective abortion.” These twenty-six states have not removed elective abortion coverage from their insurance exchanges – thus forcing taxpayers to fund the coverage. SBA List explains that the taxpayer funding “may reach as high as 100 percent of the premium. Such a massive subsidy to buy elective abortion coverage has never before been available to the public and it represents an imposition on all U.S. taxpayers.”

Rally and Press Conference in Harrisburg, PA to Pass H.B. 1762

Update and Additional Information

We
invite anyone who can make it to Harrisburg for some citizen lobbying, and a
rally on 4/29 (see attached flyer). The lobbying will  start whenever you can get there. And the rally
will address the press/media on the Capital steps at 1pm. The focus of the
rally is passage of HB 1762.





We
are approaching the end of the current legislative session in Harrisburg, with
great hope and optimism. Over the past few months, some groundwork has been
laid with the help of Pro-Life legislators and leaders from across the state.
Specifically, three areas offer some opportunity.





 HB 1762 - Admitting Privileges. This bill
would restrict abortionists without admitting privileges from committing
abortions in Pennsylvania. Kermit Gosnell had lost his admitting privileges      years before being put out of business -
resulting in multiple cases of malpractice, many injured women, deaths of
several mothers – and hundreds of murdered babies who had been born alive.


 Family Planning Funds - These have been
separated, finally. Now there are the contraceptive funds, and the abortion
alternatives funds. However, these are no longer "equal". Abortion
Alternatives money has been cut by 15%, while the Contraceptive funds have
tripled to more than $30 million per year! No data hints that there is a single
benefit from this explosion in contraceptive spending. Out of wedlock births
are increasing every year. STDs are at epidemic levels. Yet more of our tax
money is shoveled into the accounts of Planned Parenthood and their allies. We
are hoping to eliminate - or at least cut back these funds - and send a larger
share to Abortion Alternatives.


 Enforcement of Abortion Control Act measures. A number of regulations are
regularly violated by abortion providers. Currently,  the local DAs are charged with enforcement for
these rules. But most abortion centers are located in urban areas, with
pro-abortion DAs, who have no interest in enforcing this law. As a result, the
24 hour informed consent consultation - which requires a one-on-one, face to face
meeting between a physician and patient - is regularly done with telephone
recordings, video presentations to groups of women, or other  unlawful approaches. Other safety measures may
also be overlooked.  And, the reporting
of rape against little girls - aged 11, 12, or 13 years - is not done at all,
as is required. Our hope is that, by assigning a department of state agency,
like the Department of Health, with the responsibility to enforce the Abortion
Control Act, these life-saving measures can be fully put into effect.




Planned
Parenthood will also be lobbying on the same day, and so we would like our
numbers to match or exceed the 50-60 people that they will bring. Every
pro-lifer is worth infinitely more than the whole contingent of PP pro-aborts.
So, please do what you can to support our effort. We need your presence, and we
also need your prayers.



Please print and distribute this flyer to all your pro-life friends and family





[Excerpt
from great Eagle Forum article by Phyllis Shaffly...]





On
Admitting Privileges -



"On
Thursday, March 27, an all-women panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Fifth Circuit rendered a stunning verdict against abortion clinics by upholding
all significant parts of the pro-life  bill (HB 2) that passed in a Texas special
legislative session last summer.



 This law sensibly prohibits abortion unless
the abortionist has hospital privileges within 30 miles of the abortion, so
that he can remain available to handle any complications he causes. On no other
major medical operation does the surgeon avoid helping on complications, as abortion
providers often have been doing.





 The business model of the abortion industry
has been to shift the costs of complications onto hospitals, taxpayers, and
even pro-life physicians. The victims of abortion who have serious complications
typically end up in emergency rooms where the abortionist is nowhere to be
found.





If
Pennsylvania had a similar law in effect, as was urged there for years, then
Kermit Gosnell would not have been able to perpetrate his horrific acts in
Philadelphia. This 30-mile rule is protective of women against unsafe medical
practices such as back-alley style abortions, and those who side against these
protections for women cannot call themselves pro-women."

Abortionists Ply Deadly Trade On-Line

Martin Fox, President       
National Pro-Life Alliance 

Ahh, the miracle of technology.

The internet allows you to look up medical advice, check your medical records and even meet with your doctor. But now the internet is becoming the favorite tool of abortionists to promote and sell home abortions pills. A webcam abortion begins with an online meeting between the abortionist and an expectant mother. Then the mother is prescribed RU-486, a harsh two-part cocktail of drugs. The first pill, mifepristone, is taken right away.

Then the second pill, misoprostol, is taken two days later, leaving the woman to deliver her aborted baby in her own home.

Planned Parenthood’s President Cecile Richards has already made it clear that she intends to expand the use of online abortions to encompass all 50 states.

And at nearly $500.00 per prescription, RU-486 is seen as a real money maker for Planned Parenthood.  Most state legislators are just now discovering that this practice will be coming to their own backyards.  And it is causing quite an uproar.

Already seventeen states, backed by National Pro-Life Alliance members and other pro-lifers, have banned the practice of webcam abortions. And others are trying to pass their own legislation to keep online abortions from coming to their state. So far, seventeen states have banned webcam abortions, including Louisiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin. If your state has not already banned internet abortions, please lobby your state representative to cosponsor and vote for legislation to ban webcam abortions.

And even if your state has already banned webcam abortions, please contact your U.S. Senator and Congressman to cosponsor national legislation to prohibit anyone from prescribing or distributing pills over the internet.

The National Pro-Life Alliance occupies a unique and important role in the pro-life movement. The focus of many other pro-life organizations is research, publications or counseling.

These are all important and worthy activities, but the National Pro-Life Alliance is singular in its focus on passing pro-life legislation that will protect the unborn from the moment of conception onward.

We believe that it is not sufficient to merely support minor regulations on abortion in a few outrageous cases.

Instead, members of the National Pro-Life Alliance lobby both incumbents and candidates for office to come out clearly for measure like a Life at Conception Act to legislatively define constitutionally-protected "personhood" as beginning at the moment of conception.

Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz's TV Ad

From Bernard Byrne 

In her first political TV add in her run for Governor, Congresswoman Allyson Schwartz hypes herself as being "The Mother of Pennsylvania's CHIP Program",  which greatly benefits the health of poor children.  As she envisions herself some great benefactor of children, she neglects to state how prior to becoming a politician, she operated an abortion mill and was a working colleague of the infamous abortionist Kermit Gosnell, of Philadelphia.  

It seems the Congresswoman is both narcissistic and hypocritical.

Bernard Byrne is a retired Postmaster.  His wife, Barbara, and he have been married for 48 years and live in Central Bucks County, PA.   They have three children and six grandchildren.

Pennsylvania Family Institute Counters Planned Parenthood's Misleading Advocacy

Oregon’s Covanta plant incinerates aborted babies to generate electricity

We are reminded again and again, in schools and by the media, of the horrific practices of Nazi Germany — how the Nazis dehumanized Jews as Untermenschen (sub-human), herded them into concentration camps, then exterminated an estimated 6 million of them in gas chambers and even used their fat to make soap.

"No More Babies!" - Expert Calls For Ban on Childbirth (1947)

Shocking New Footage Found of Planned Parenthood 

Founder Margaret Sanger Saying “No More Babies”

By Cassy Fiano
for Live Action News

The Daily Caller has unearthed a chilling new video from Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger. British Pathé, a newsreel archive company, uploaded 85,000 historic films onto YouTube. One of those films featured Margaret Sanger, called Margaret Slee (her second husband’s name) in the video, demanding that women have no more babies.

                 

When questioned about women who want babies and in 10 years won’t be able to have them, Sanger insists that it is somehow practical and humane to not allow them to have children.

Considering that 96% of pregnant women who go to Planned Parenthood abort their children, Sanger clearly got her wish.

Contraception: The Ultimate Judas Kiss

As recently as 2008, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) stated:"Taking the Pill is simple, safe, and convenient."

By Rey Flores

ALL Associate ENewsletter

Studies show that most women who have died from the use of the pill or other birth control products have died from blood clots, heart attacks, or pulmonary embolisms. The pill can also cause many other serious problems, such as cancer, depression, and much more.

 
It isn't just the Pill itself, but all other abortifacient drugs and devices, such as the intrauterine devices more commonly known as IUDs.

 
Even pro-abortion and pro-contraception media outlets like the Huffington Post are writing about the dangers of some contraceptives. Huffington Post reported December 18, 2013 that after only a month of NuvaRing use, 27-year-old Lyndsey Agresta was rushed to the hospital in unbearable pain. After two-thirds of her right cerebral hemisphere was removed due to hemorrhage and a stroke, she died six months later. A lawsuit alleges that NuvaRing use caused her death.

The power to biologically create life is an awesome and divine gift. We have corrupted it with poisonous contraceptives of all sorts, and for what?

We know that pharmaceutical companies are being sued in countless court cases for causing all types of cancers and deaths; but what about the spiritual death that contraception causes? We can't put a dollar amount on that, can we?

Why aren't we taking to the streets and denouncing the true War on Women that was launched by none other than Margaret Sanger a century ago when she first coined the modern, anti-life propaganda term "birth control"?

INFERTILITY AWARENESS WEEK, 2014

 A CATHOLIC PERSPECTIVE

By Rebecca Royse
for Catholic Stand

One in six couples will experience infertility at some point in their marriage. Infertility is medically defined as the inability to conceive after 12 cycles of “unprotected” intercourse or 6 cycles using “fertility-focused” intercourse. A couple who has never conceived has “primary infertility” and a couple who has conceived in the past but is unable to again has “secondary infertility”. Many couples who experience infertility have also experienced miscarriage or pregnancy loss.

This week, April 20 – 26, 2014 is National Infertility Awareness Week.

We, a group of Catholic women who have experienced infertility, would like to take a moment to share with you what the experience of infertility is like, share ways that you can be of support to a family member or friend, and share resources that are helpful.

If you are experiencing infertility, please know you are not alone. You are loved and prayed for and there are resources to help you with the spiritual, emotional, and medical aspects of this journey.
