Selling Abortion: Through Academia, The Press, and TV, Abortion Forces Peddled Their Cause

During the half-century from 1860 to 1910 in which America's rate of abortion declined sharply, The New York Times regularly reported on prominent physicians who did abortions. A story in 1884, "Two Physicians in Trouble," noted that two of the "best known physicians in Providence, R.I.," were on trial for abortion. A typical story in 1886, "DOCTOR INDICTED," detailed abortion charges against a highly regarded New Haven physician, Dr. Gallagher. A similar story about a well-connected doctor noted the abortion arrest of Philadelphia physician David Otway.

Obama Pick for Surgeon General Is Pro-Vaccine Pusher With Ties To Merck

Barack Obama's choice for U.S. Surgeon General is reportedly CNN journalist Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a pro-vaccine pusher with ties to Merck. Dr. Sanjay Gupta is a strong proponent of the Gardasil HPV vaccine, and the television show he once hosted ("Accent Health") was primarily sponsored by Merck, makers of Gardasil. Get ready for a whole new mandatory vaccination push under the Obama administration, folks. It's the same scam that's been running under the Bush Administration, but now it's going to be disguised as "public health policy." Yep, all those vaccines are President Obama's way of caring for the American people, didn't you know?

Obama Selects Pro-Abort Catholic to Head CIA

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With the appointment of Leon Panetta as the new head of the CIA, Barack Obama has continued a trend of appointing pro-abortion “Catholics” to high-profile positions in his government. Some pro-life leaders fear that these highly public Catholic dissidents could deal a serious blow to the pro-life Catholic image in America. Panetta, a practicing Catholic who teaches a course each year at the Jesuit-run Santa Clara University, accumulated a strong pro-abortion record as a California congressman, including co-sponsoring the Freedom of Choice Act in 1990. During his run as Clinton's Chief of Staff, he supported the president's veto of the partial-birth abortion ban.

At 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, Tebow cuts an imposing figure when he visits the orphanage, as he has done several times since high school. He even has roots there. His mother Pam, suffering from an ailment that she says led her local doctor to suggest an abortion, left General Santos and went to a hospital in Manila's Makati district, where she gave birth to Tim, her fifth child. She and her husband, longtime missionaries, repeatedly told him he was a "miracle" baby as he was growing up, and he seems determined to live up to it. In addition to his football exploits, which brought him the first Heisman Trophy ever given to a sophomore and carried him to a third-place finish this season, Tebow makes no secret of his Christian faith. In addition to the Philippines, he has made mission trips to Croatia and Thailand, worked with underprivileged youth and visited hospitals and prisons. Such work has won him fans among even Florida's staunchest rivals. While the most skeptical still wonder if a guy really can be this genuine, Mrs. Gauran has no doubts. She called Tebow a committed speaker whose passion clearly shows through. "He's a great preacher," she said. "People just listen to him."

Savages in India Open Call Center To `Control' Population

NEW DELHI -- Every year, 24 million babies are added to India's 1 billion-plus population, and estimates suggest that the country will overtake China as the world's most populous by 2030. Moreover, India has 17 percent of the world's population living on slightly more than 2.4 percent of its land. The National Population Stabilization Fund seeks to pare down the growth to sustainable levels by means of contraception and reproductive and child health care. Officials say it may take some Indian states 18 to 45 years to achieve the stabilizing fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman; the government originally set 2010 as the date for achieving the goal. Nearly half of Indian women marry by age 18, and many become mothers soon afterward. And 188 million couples in India are in the reproductive age group, but only 53 percent of them use contraceptives.

Faggots and Fools Use Rick Warren's Coronation Prayer to Raise Money for GLBT Awareness

Trina Hoaks / Atheism Examiner
Regardless of whether or not he is aware of it, Rick Warren will be helping to raise money to support Driving Equality. Driving Equality is the project of Chris Mason of Massachusetts, which according to Chris is “a 100-day, 16,000-mile road-trip through all of the lower 48 states to examine LGBT equality and discrimination throughout the nation.” His intention is to create a documentary when his road trip is finished. He has come up with a creative way to fund his project, which he calls the Rick-a-thon. He is accepting non-tax-deductible donations based on the amount of time Rick Warren speaks during the inauguration. If there is going to be religion in the inauguration, which many people see as unconstitutional, then it may as well be used for something positive, which is the equal rights of all of America’s.

Log Cabin Republicans / Official Organization of The Republican Party
WASHINGTON, DC -- After an election with major losses for the GOP, Log Cabin calls on our Party to get back to basics. “After big losses in Congress, it is obvious George W. Bush’s presidency seriously damaged the Republican Party’s brand,” said Log Cabin President Patrick Sammon. “The GOP has to figure out what it stands for, reclaim our hopeful message, and rehabilitate the Republican brand. In order to do that, we must return to the unifying core issues that brought our party to power in the first place.”

Washington Post: Shortage of General Surgeons Endangers Rural Americans

For the one-quarter of Americans who live outside metropolitan areas, general surgeons are the essential ingredient that keeps full-service medical care within reach. Without general surgeons as backup, family practitioners can't deliver babies, emergency rooms can't take trauma cases, and most internists won't do complicated procedures such as colonoscopies. But various forces -- educational, medical and sociological -- are making them an endangered species. Many young physicians are opting for non-surgical specialties, such as radiology or cardiology, in which they can earn as much money as a surgeon with less grueling and unpredictable hours. Many young surgeons, in turn, choose to concentrate in fields such as transplant surgery or plastic surgery, in which they can make more money and don't have to face (usually alone) the wide range of problems a generalist faces.

Fake Murder Statistics Omit Abortion, False Data Shockingly Noticeable

With Over 4,500 Unborn Children Slaughtered Everyday,
Abortion Is The Nation's #1 Type of Homicide
The Associated Press
While New York and Chicago saw an uptick in slayings last year, other cities including Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Los Angeles had fewer violent deaths in '08 than '07. And though a study released Monday by Northeastern University showed black teenagers killing each other in rising numbers, Milwaukee stands out. The number of black men between the ages of 15 and 29 killed dropped nearly two-thirds, from 54 in 2007 to 19 last year. While the nation's preliminary crime statistics won't be released by the FBI until spring, a review of unofficial figures released by 25 of the 52 police departments in cities with a population of over 350,000 showed 15 of the 25 had fewer slayings last year than in '07. Detroit had 344 slayings, a 13 percent drop from the 396 in 2007; Philadelphia's 332 killings were a 15 percent drop from the 392 in 2007; and the 234 homicides in Baltimore were 17 percent less than the 392 the year before.

How Support for Abortion Became Kennedy Dogma

By Anne Hendershott / Wall Street Journal
For faithful Roman Catholics, the thought of yet another pro-choice Kennedy positioned to campaign for the unlimited right to abortion is discouraging. Yet if Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of Catholics John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, is appointed to fill the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Hillary Clinton, abortion-rights advocates will have just such a champion. Ms. Kennedy was so concerned to assure pro-abortion leaders in New York, Britain's Guardian newspaper reported on Dec. 18, that on the same day Ms. Kennedy telephoned New York Gov. David Patterson to declare interest in the Senate seat, "one of her first calls was to an abortion rights group, indicating she will be strongly pro-choice."

Abortion Regulation Proposed by Republicans: And then you can kill the baby

That list could include pregnancy crisis centers — many run by antiabortion groups — that actively discourage abortion and encourage women to choose other alternatives. “The impetus behind these bills is we should use technology in a way that a woman who is planning on aborting a child can get all information possible before that decision is made,” said Rep.

Suicides In National Parks Increase In 2008

SALT LAKE CITY -- Park officials estimate people made more than 274 million visits to the country's 391 national park units last year. The vast majority are intent on seeing breathtaking vistas, wildlife in its natural habitat or places where history was made, such as the Gettysburg battlefield. A troubled few came to end their lives. In 2007, there were 26 suicides or probable suicides in the parks. Park Service search-and-rescue records — which are likely incomplete — show 18 suicides in 2006, 18 in 2005 and 16 in 2004. More suicides occur in Grand Canyon than any other park in recent years. The park averages two a year. There were three in 2008.

Film Has Message About Abortion

"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a film about a Nazi family living in Germany during the Holocaust. The father of the family is an SS officer who has been promoted to be the commandant of a death camp. It becomes the job of the parents to try to live a normal life while trying to protect the children from the truth that's in their midst. It is also the story of evil chosen as a good, understandably so since we are programmed as human beings, to choose the good. In the 1940s, it was said, "Jewish people are bad for the good of the country - kill them." Today, "The baby is bad for the good of the mother - kill him." When the law against killing is no longer written on our hearts, we are capable of the most heinous crimes.

Public Schools: Corrupting Young Evangelicals

By Phyllis Schlafly
Why did 18-to-29-year-old evangelicals vote for Barack Obama despite his apostasy on the fundamental moral issues of abortion and same-sex unions? They voted 32 percent for Obama, twice the percentage of that demographic group who voted for John Kerry in 2004. Many of these young people identify "social justice" as the reason that led them to relegate the prime moral issues of life and marriage to the back burner. But the term "social justice" does not define a moral cause – it is left-wing jargon to overturn those who have economic and political power.
