Doctors Told Them to “Get Rid of” Their “Non-Viable” Baby, Their Response Was Priceless

Jett Morris is now crawling and has cut his first tooth but a year ago doctors told his parents that he was non-viable and they encouraged the couple to consider abortion.

The couple had just been told they were having a health baby but the night after a 20-week pregnancy checkup, Mrs Morris’s waters broke. Doctors told her her baby would not live and that if she continued the pregnancy any further she would put herself at risk for a serious infection.  Visit:

Abortion “Doctor” Who Left Decapitated Unborn Baby Inside Mother Has License Suspended

“Given the facts that Alexander suffers from mental illness, has a long string of documented botched abortions, and was operating in such squalid conditions that it made Kermit Gosnell look like ‘Mr. Good Housekeeping,’ it is unfathomable that this Board could even entertain the possibility that Alexander could soon resume his practice,” said Troy Newman President of Operation Rescue. “We can only hope that Alexander never has access to $75,000 to pay his fine and get his license back. If anyone should be permanently barred from the practice of medicine, it is Robert Alexander.”  Visit:

A wife is a gift from God in life, death - The Arlington Catholic Herald

In July of this year, my wife of nine years, Sarah, passed away suddenly. We have four beautiful children, and our fifth was on the way. My wife was a gift from God during our life together. This woman made me into a man that loved the Lord and would pass that love to his children. In life and in death, Sarah gave me gifts to grow as a man, husband and father.

A wife is not a right but a gift that she and God give to her husband. A relationship that is Christ-centered will bring both spouses to a more fruitful relationship with God and each other. Often during our marriage I could see how Sarah brought me closer to God.   Visit:

Pro-abortion Iowa Senate candidate falsely says he opposes late abortions

First, as a member of the House of Representatives Braley voted against the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. H.R. 1797 would provide nationwide protection for unborn children who are capable of feeling pain, beginning at 20 weeks fetal age.

Second, Braley co-sponsored the “Women’s Health Protection Act”—which, as National Right to Life President Carol Tobias told the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee back in July, would be more accurately described as the “Abortion Without Limits Until Birth Act.”  Visit:  Pro-abortion Iowa Senate candidate falsely says he opposes late abortions

Ashley Bridges Made the Ultimate Sacrafice for her Unborn Baby - Please Pray for Ashley

A 24-year old mother, Ashley Bridges, made the ultimate sacrifice for her unborn baby when she denied life-saving chemotherapy treatment for bone cancer. Bone cancer accounts for less than 1% of all cancers, and cancer in young adults is extremely rare. In the United States, 2,300 new cases of bone cancer are diagnosed each year.

Bridges was only 10-weeks pregnant with her daughter Paisley when she found out about her diagnosis. Her doctors recommended that she begin chemotherapy immediately. However, in her case, this would mean ending the life of her unborn baby. Bridges said, “There’s no way I could kill a healthy baby because I’m sick.”

During her third trimester, Bridges was told that delaying treatment had allowed the cancer to spread. Even though she was only in her eighth month of pregnancy, she was told she needed to deliver Paisley immediately so she could begin treatment.

But even with multiple rounds of chemotherapy, her cancer was terminal. Bridges was given less than a year to live.

His talk aims to fire up American families with the notion of honoring parents and transforming our culture.

He shows how society's obsession for a secular, materialistic culture is causing social and psychological emptiness and economic ruin.

Burying the Dead: The Recovery and Burial of 600 Victims of Abortion

Remembering victims of Abortion:  An abortion clinic worker called a pro-life center for help.  "Our “informant,” Don, told us that he was appalled at the way the staff treated the women who came to them for abortions. He said they had no respect for women. And he was shocked to discover that they threw the aborted babies into the garbage dumpster in the alley behind the clinic.

Don also told us that he needed us to protect his identity, as he was afraid for his own life and safety."

Return of Lapsed Catholics to the Sacraments.Almighty Father,
. You desire not the death of the sinner, but that he may be converted and live.
Pour out upon us Your mercy and hear the prayers of Your servants.
Soften the hearts of Your children who have strayed from the true path which You established for their salvation.
They are now forgetful of their duties as Catholics,

and pursue the pleasures of the world.
Grant that they may quickly return to the practice of every Christian virtue,
so that their lives may shine with the integrity of faith,

the fervor of piety, and the ardor of charity.
Restore them all to Your sacraments and the life of Your grace,
through the merits of the most precious blood of Your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ.

Amen

A Christian Told Him Abortion Will Never be Stopped, His Response Was Priceless

“Abortion cannot be stopped.” That is what a man said to me as I was
coming out of Mass with the Stand True Mission Team and the walkers from
Crossroads Pro-life Walks Across America.





I
told him that many people said that slavery would never be made illegal
back in the 1800s. He just ignored that and continued to argue that
abortion will never be outlawed. I tried to explain to him that this
generation is waking up to the truth about the abortion holocaust and
that this would be the generation that will abolish abortion.


He almost seemed annoyed with us for having the audacity to believe
such a thing.  I told him to look at biblical
history and see what God can do.  He just kept repeating that abortion will never be outlawed and I finally asked him, “How big is your God?”  Visit:  A Christian Told Him Abortion Will Never be Stopped, His Response Was Priceless

National Right to Life Convention, Girl Scouts, American Heritage Girls

This past weekend I spent three days at the National Right to Life Convention in Louisville, KY.
It was an excellent conference with many speakers I'd heard before and many I didn't.  I was impressed with the woman who spoke about the Girl Scouts and their own resources regarding the sad inclusion of reproductive rights advocacy throughout the Girl Scout organization.  Ann Saladin thoroughly investigated this issue and has created MyGirlScoutCouncil.com, a website documenting specific concerns about the Girl Scouts

In addition, representatives from American Heritage Girls, an alternative to Girl Scouts, had a booth at the convention.  I was able to speak to a few girls who have been with American Heritage Girls for several years.  They seemed very happy with the American Heritage Girls experience.  You can learn more about this organization at www.ahgonline.org  AHG has 772 Troops across the United States.

Judge Stops Texas Man’s Estranged Wife From Starving Him to Death

Last Friday, Terry Dean Martin was admitted to Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas – Beaumont Campus due to complications associated with his kidneys.  On Sunday night at approximately 11:00 PM, Terry Martin’s heart stopped beating.  Martin was immediately provided with emergency medical treatment and is somewhat responsive but has not regained complete consciousness.  Martin is currently being provided with life-sustaining treatment including a ventilator, nutrition, and hydration.

Gary and Angela Martin immediately drove from Oklahoma to Beaumont upon learning of the news.  Terry Martin and his estranged wife, Debi Martin, have been separated for over nine years.  On Monday, Debi Martin, who lives in the Beaumont area, arrived at the hospital seeking to have all life-sustaining treatment removed immediately.  Terry Martin’s estate includes a 23-acre tract of land with a 2,000 sq. ft. home.  Debi Martin is believed to be the beneficiary of his Terry Martin’s $150,000 life insurance policy.  Visit:  Judge Stops Texas Man’s Estranged Wife From Starving Him to Death

A new direction for Republicans outlined by Michael Needham CEO Heritage Action for America

Time for Choosing

Fellow conservative,
A political earthquake rocked Washington, DC last night.
The implications of Dave Brat's stunning victory go well beyond politics, however. As the Weekly Standard's William Kristol explained, the race became "a broad populist case for a Republican party focused on Main Street and Middle America, not on Wall Street and corporate interests."
For the past four years, Heritage Action has been making the case that conservatives should not be in the business of protecting or justifying corporate welfare. Instead, we should confront the Bigs – Big Wall Street, Big Government, Big Labor, Big Education and Big Business – head on, and fight for the conservative policy solutions that will save the country, not simply those that help the well connected.
And last night, voters made DC listen.
Thank you for all you have done to advance conservative policy.
Sincerely,

Michael A. Needham
Chief Executive Officer
Heritage Action for America

Barletta on VA Scandal

Barletta Statement Resignation of Secretary Shinseki

 

WASHINGTON – Congressman Lou Barletta, PA-11, today issued a statement regarding the resignation of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki following a meeting with President Obama at the White House.  The resignation comes on the heels of an Inspector General’s report that found that 1,700 veterans were kept on unofficial waiting lists at a Phoenix VA hospital and waited an average of 115 days for treatment.  Additionally, the report found that information was manipulated to conceal the length of time patients waited for medical attention.  The report also found the problem to be systemic and not limited to the Phoenix facility.  At least forty veterans are reported to have died while waiting for treatment.
 
Barletta’s statement is as follows:
 
“I have always believed that cabinet members serve at the pleasure of the president, and in this case President Obama clearly felt that Secretary Shinseki could no longer adequately lead an agency that has suffered such a scandal and loss of public confidence.  I thank General Shinseki for his long and distinguished career in service to his country.  I also note that this is one event in this sad affair that the president will not have to learn about from the news media.
 
“The deplorable treatment of veterans at VA medical facilities is something that no American should tolerate.  The Inspector General’s report is yet more evidence that the problem is systemic, widespread, and certainly not limited to one hospital in Phoenix.  I continue to believe that a Department of Justice investigation is warranted to determine the full scope of the flaws and to identify responsible parties.
 
“In the House, we have already taken steps toward reforming the VA with the bipartisan passage of a measure that would give the secretary greater latitude in removing senior officials in the agency.  I wish the Senate would follow our lead.  In the meantime, there are a number of proposals being offered to improve the VA and its service to veterans and I am eager to examine each one on its own merits.  At the very least, this pokes a very large hole in the belief that government is the first and best solution to health care needs.”
 

Will you fight for Pennsylvania marriage?

A post from my friend Mary Ann: 
Will you fight for Pennsylvania marriage?
Please contact Governor Corbett right now and let him know you insist he appeal the homosexual “marriage” ruling!!  717-787-2500 (Policy Office 1-717-772-9003, Corbett's Philadelphia Office 1-215-560-2640,
Corbett's Pittsburgh Office 1-412-565-5700.)
Wed., Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett said he will not appeal Tuesday’s ruling by a federal judge that overturned the state’s ban on gay marriage.

IMHO this is unconscionable!!  Corbett had 30 days to appeal the ruling to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals and could have asked Jones to stay his ruling until an appeal was heard.....  In this most serious, society altering  matter,  It is  prudent to let the dust settle and ask for help for an appeal from the  brilliant, courageous  constitutional attorneys and legal scholars that collectively are working on this very same issue to defend traditional marriage????    
From Corbett's statement:“Given the high legal threshold set forth by Judge Jones in this case, the case is extremely unlikely to succeed on appeal,”   ( Unlikely does not mean impossible!!)  “Therefore, after review of the opinion and on the advice of my Commonwealth legal team, I have decided not to appeal Judge Jones’ decision. “As a Roman Catholic, the traditional teaching of my faith has not wavered. (It just did!!) I continue to maintain the belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. My duties as Governor require that I follow the laws as interpreted by the courts and make a judgment as to the likelihood of a successful appeal.  ( Apparently the THE LAW allows for an appeal! )

“Throughout the debate on this important and meaningful issue, I have maintained that Commonwealth officials and agencies would follow the provisions of Pennsylvania’s marriage law unless or until a court says otherwise. The court has spoken,  (one liberal justice has spoken! )and I will ensure that my administration follows the provisions of Judge Jones’ order with respect for all parties. It is my hope that as the important issue of same-sex relationships continues to be addressed in our society, that all involved be treated with respect.” (Empty Rhetoric!!   As in a cancer that is metastasizing if left unchecked, This unchallenged decision in Pa. joins the 18 other states in the systematic well orchestrated destruction of the family, area of adoption, education, freedom of speech etc!  It was important to seize the moment  NOW   while the opportunity  presented itself! ) 

Dear Friends, U.S. District Judge John Jones has ruled against Pennsylvania’s real marriage law. This fight all started last year when your state attorney general Kathleen Kane refused to do her job and defend real marriage when it was challenged in court. Next, a local county clerk went rouge and started  issuing marriage licenses to whomever he liked. Public Advocate supporters rallied, but Governor Corbett only took limited action. And now, he is refusing to appeal Judge Jone’s decision. Please contact the governor’s office right away and insist that he do everything in his power to preserve Pennsylvania’s real marriage law. For the Family!

Notre Dame President Marks Papal Canonizations with Promotion of Nuclear Disarmament

Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins, C.S.C., apparently won't miss any opportunity to advance his liberal agenda.  Of the recent canonizations of Pope John the XXIII and Pope John Paul II he said:



“Their canonizations could not come at a more propitious time. The rich teachings of the Vatican Council, convened by the former, stirred the evangelization of the latter. In Pacem in Terris, Pope John XXIII said plainly that ‘nuclear weapons must be banned,’ and Pope John Paul II inspired the collapse of tyranny without a shot being fired. Nuclear weapons still threaten annihilation, and tyrannical regimes still threaten neighbors. - See more at: http://www.cardinalnewmansociety.org/CatholicEducationDaily/DetailsPage/tabid/102/ArticleID/3243/Notre-Dame-President-Marks-Papal-Canonizations-with-Promotion-of-Nuclear-Disarmament.aspx#sthash.lAzpr4jY.9JfPSzKt.dpuf



While Pope John Paul II may have inspired the collapse of tyranny, Lech Walesa and President Ronald Reagan also had a lot to do with it.  At the Berlin Wall President Reagan said "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."  The economic collapse of the Soviet Union and the fact that Reagan stood for a strong military had plenty to do with the Soviet Union's collapse.  But now with a weak President like Obama we see a resurgence in Vladimir Putin's quest for more territory as evidenced by his recent military activities in Ukraine.  Seriously, does anyone think Putin will disarm because any Pope says so?  Please people, live in the real world.

McCutcheon v. FEC

James Madison Center for Free Speech

1 South 6th Street

Terre Haute, IN 47807-3510

PRESS RELEASE

April 2, 2014

 Supreme Court Strikes Limit on Number of Political Contributions

Today, the U.S. Supreme struck down federal “aggregate limits” on how much an individual may spend on otherwise legal contributions in a two-year election cycle to federal candidates, political parties, and political action committees (“PACs”). The case is McCutcheon v. FEC.

For example, though an individual may legally give $5,200 to each candidate in a two year election cycle, the aggregate limit restricts his total contributions to candidates to $48,600. Thus, an individual may give the full legal amount to only nine candidates. 

Also struck down was an aggregate limit of $74,600 to all political parties and PACs, of which no more than $48,600 could go to all PACs and state political parties. In the alternative, all $74,600 could go to the three national political committees of each political party.

The Court found no government interest justifying aggregate limits. No anti-corruption interest justifies them because that interest is already addressed by “base limits,” which restrict how much an individual may give to a particular candidate, political party, or PAC. For example, Congress eliminated the quid-pro-quo corruption risk by limiting an individual’s contribution to a candidate to $2,600 per election.

And there is also no anti-circumvention interest because other provisions of the federal campaign finance law prevents a particular candidate from receiving a contribution in excess of $5,200 from a particular donor. So the aggregate limits serve no constitutionally permissible purpose.

Reince Priebus, Chairman of the Republican National Committee (one of two McCutcheon plaintiffs) comments: “Today’s decision is an important first step toward restoring the voice of candidates and party committees and a vindication for all those who support robust, transparent political discourse. I am pleased that the Court agreed that limits on how many candidates or committees a person may support unconstitutionally burden core First Amendment political activities. When free speech is allowed to flourish, our democracy is stronger.”

James Bopp, Jr., lead attorney for RNC in the case says: “This is a great triumph for the First Amendment. A robust republic requires free speech and association, which means no limits on how many candidates an individual may support with a legal contribution. Congress allows contributions to nine candidates, but not ten. How could giving to candidate number ten cause any corruption if giving to candidates one through nine doesn’t?”

“This is also a great victory for political parties, who have been disadvantaged recently by the rise of super-PACs.  Political parties serve vital purposes, such as tempering polarization, and this is a step in the right direction to re-empower them,” adds Bopp.

Furthermore, says Bopp: “The Court also rejected the FEC’s ‘wild hypotheticals’ about corruption that suggest fanciful scenarios that are otherwise illegal under current federal law. First Amendment rights cannot be suppressed by mere speculation or a vivid imagination.”

The case briefing is at http://www.jamesmadisoncenter.org/cases/42-mccutcheon-fec.html. The opinion is at http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/slipopinions.aspx?Term=13.

James Bopp, Jr. served as counsel of record for Plaintiff/Appellant Republican National Committee and was their lead counsel in the United States Supreme Court. He and his law firm represented all parties, including McCutcheon, in the District Court and in filing the successful appeal to the Supreme Court.  They created the legal analysis on which the Supreme Court based its decision, which was set out in their briefs for the RNC. This case builds on Citizens United v. FEC and FEC v. Wisconsin Right to Life, prior Supreme Court cases the law firm handled, that are central to the Court’s reaffirmation of First Amendment liberty in the political-speech arena.

Cruz on Obama Nominee: Those Who Advocate For Cop Killers Aren't Suited For Leadership at DOJ - Katie Pavlich

Speaking on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon, Texas Senator Ted Cruz expressed his strong opposition to President Obama's nominee, Debo Adegbile, to head the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice. During his time in leadership at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund [LDF], Adegbile volunteered to advocate for convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal, who murdered Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner in 1981. In 2011, LDF attorneys were successful in getting Abu-Jamal's death sentence overturned.

"Mr. President, this is insulting to law enforcement officers everywhere," Cruz said

The Inevitability of Obamacare for Illegal Aliens - Michelle Malkin - Page 1

In Oregon this week, officials confessed that nearly 4,000 illegal immigrants had been "accidentally" steered from the state's low-income Medicaid program and instead were enrolled in Obamacare in violation of the law. Oopsie. The Oregonian newspaper's Nick Budnick reported that the health bureaucrats "discovered the problem several weeks ago and are correcting it." Get in line. The beleaguered Cover Oregon health insurance exchange has been riddled with ongoing problems, errors and glitches since last October that have yet to be fixed. Take note: This wasn't a one-time computer meltdown. Because Oregon's health insurance exchange website has been offline and its software architects under investigation for possible fraud, the Oregon Obamacare drones have been processing each and every application manually."  Visit:

Michele Bachmann: Join the Movement to Demand Obama's Impeachment

 "Grassroots activists, lawmakers, journalists, and other prominent media figures are now calling for Barack Obama to be removed from office as he is openly bent on taking it upon himself to write, change, or ignore laws — completely bypassing the legislative branch, and, as such, completely abusing his power. He even brags about it, proudly proclaiming “I can do whatever I want” for goodness’ sake. Michele Bachmann, a former presidential candidate and Tea Party favorite, says that Obama’s disregard for the Constitution is setting dangerous precedents which will eventually lead to the “establishment of lawlessness in the United States.”"  Visit:

Midterms: Chris Matthews sees Dems losing as many as 10 seats in the Senate

Unfortunately, it looks like reality is starting to seep through the cracks in the MSNBC host’s shaky foundation.  Yesterday, Matthews appeared on Meet The Press, and he was very worried about the 2014 midterms.  For him, achieving “the best case scenario” would mean losing “only” five Senate seats.  He calls that possibility “rosy,” and laments the fact that it’s easy to see Dems losing as many as ten."  Midterms: Chris Matthews sees Dems losing as many as 10 seats in the Senate:   I'm not buying it.  This is probably just an attempt to motivate the base.

Judgement Day

"Judgment Day by Congressman Henry Hyde

When the time comes, as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the Final Judgment, I’ve often thought, as Bishop Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates. You are there standing alone before God, and the terror will grip your soul like nothing you can imagine.

But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there will be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world, but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world. They will plead for everyone who has ever been in this movement. They will say to God, “Spare him because he loved us.” And God will look at you and not say, “Did you succeed?” Rather, He will say, “Did you try?”"

 "Jahi's mother sought to have her daughter evaluated and cared for in an institution other than CHMC (Children's Hospital Medical Center Oakland,California), where the events leading to her daughter's "brain death" occurred.  A confounding factor is that by California law, the financial damages in the case of death of a child are limited to $250,000, whereas lifetime care of a brain-injured child runs into the millions.  Another California girl, Rebecca Jimenez, had severe neurological damage after similar surgery in 2011 and received a multi-million dollar settlement from CHMC. "  Visit:  Articles: Jahi McMath is Alive:

Federal Court Enjoins Montana Law Requiring Complete Disclosure of Candidate's Voting Record

Federal Court Enjoins Montana Law Requiring Complete Disclosure of Candidate's Voting Record

　

Tuesday, a federal court permanently enjoined a Montana law requiring those that published campaign materials about a legislator's record to include every vote that legislator has made on that issue.

A challenge to the law was brought by Mr. Matthew Monforton, a candidate for Montana House District 69, who is running in the 2014 Republican primary against encumbent Ted Washburn. As part of his campaign, Mr. Monforton intends to expose Rep. Washburn's flipflopping voting record on Obamacare on a billboard and by letter to constituents.

Under the law, for Mr. Monforton to publish materials about Rep. Washburn's record, he must include a complete list of all of Rep. Washburn's votes "on the same issue." "Rep. Washburn has been all over the map when it comes to Obamacare votes," says Monforton."There's not enough room on the billboard and my letter would have to be several pages long to detail all of Washburn's flipflopping." The suit was brought against Commissioner of Political Practices Jonathan Motl, Attorney General Tim Fox, and two county attorneys that can enforce the law. They all conceded in court filings that the law was unconstitutional and that they should be enjoined from enforcing it.

James Bopp, Jr., the attorney for Mr. Monforton, stated "The court was right to strike down the law as unconstitutional and enjoin its enforcement. Not only is the law unclear about what it requires, it requires a speaker to engage in political speech only in a certain way and with considerable effort, undermining the speaker's ability to say what he wants, how he wants, and when he wants." "An injunction was necessary," he continues, "because nothing prevents the State from changing its mind. Commissioner Motl or his successors can change the Commission's position on the validity and interpretation of the law at anytime, as we've seen in the recent Welch advisory opinion issued by the office."

The case is Monforton v. Motl, 6:14-cv-00002. The Complaint can be found athttp://www.jamesmadisoncenter.org/cases/files/monforton-motl/complaint.pdf, and the Permanent Injunction Order is available athttp://www.jamesmadisoncenter.org/cases/files/monforton-motl/court-order-opinion.pdf.
