Obama Selects Ex-Planned Parenthood Board Member for Key Policy Post

"Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Continuing his quest to put abortion advocates in key places where they could advance a radical pro-abortion agenda, Barack Obama has named a former Planned Parenthood staff as one of his top domestic advisors. Obama named Melody Barnes as his director of the Domestic Policy Council.
Barnes, who served in the upper echelons of the Obama campaign, is no stranger to promoting abortion. She served on the board of directors of Emily's List, a group that has spent nearly $250 million promoting pro-abortion candidates."

Sexually active teenage girls are 'twice as likely' to become depressed | Mail Online

"Young girls who are sexually active are far more likely to suffer from depression than those who remain virgins, according to a controversial new study" "Following a study of more than 14,000 adolescents aged between 14 and 17, researchers said that these feelings could be directly ascribed to sexual activity, rather than outside influences".

Teen Sex: The Parent Factor

I recently found a number of excellent resources on abstinence education while preparing for a television interview on the subject. An article on the influence of parents called Teen Sex: The Parent Factor by Christine Kim of the Heritage Foundation is enlightening. If parents understood how influential they are, perhaps more attention may be paid to cultivating the parent-child relationship. Of particular importance are an intact family structure, parent's disapproval of adolescent sex, the level of parental involvement in their children's lives and the quality of the parent-child relationship.

Considerable information on the consequences of early teen sexual activity is also included for example, "Engaging in early sexual activity elevates the risk of teenage girls becoming pregnant and single moth­ers. Girls who become sexually active during early adolescence are three times as likely to become single mothers as those who remain abstinent throughout their teenage years. Nearly 40 percent of girls who begin sexual activity at ages 13 or 14 will give birth outside marriage, compared to 9 percent of those who remain abstinent until their early twenties.[7]"Teen Sex: The Parent Factor:

Pro-Life Petition to the United Nations

"December 10 is the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Rumor is that pro-abortion radicals will use this celebration to demand a universal right to abortion." reports Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America. Ms. Wright believes that an anticipated pro-abortion petition demanding a universal right to abortion must be met with a petition by an even larger number of pro-life people.
Concerned Women for America has prepared a petition to present to the U.N. on December 10. It defends the human rights of unborn babies, of the family and parents quoting straight from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. "We're just asking U.N. authorities to uphold the principles that all nations agreed to when they became members of the U.N", Wright wrote.

Serbian Abortionist Who Aborted 48,000 Babies Becomes Pro-Life Activist

"In describing his conversion, Adasevic said he 'dreamed about a beautiful field full of children and young people who were playing and laughing, from 4 to 24 years of age, but who ran away from him in fear. A man dressed in a black and white habit stared at him in silence. The dream was repeated each night and he would wake up in a cold sweat. One night he asked the man in black and white who he was. 'My name is Thomas Aquinas,' the man in his dream responded. Adasevic, educated in communist schools, had never heard of the Dominican genius saint. He didn't recognize the name.'
'Why don't you ask me who these children are?' St. Thomas asked Adasevic in his dream."

Vatican Cardinal says Obama embryonic stem cell policy change ‘good for nothing’

"Rome, Nov 12, 2008 / 07:16 am (CNA).- Cardinal Javier Lozano Barragan, the President of the Pontifical Council of Health Care, has responded to reports that President-elect Obama’s future administration will reverse a federal ban on human embryonic stem cell research funding. Saying that the stem cells produced by the destruction of embryos “serve no purpose,” he argued that embryonic stem cell research has not resulted in any significant cures so far and was “good for nothing.”" VISIT:

U.S. Catholic Bishops Warn Politicians On Abortion : NPR

"The bishops also told politicians they cannot leave their faith at the door of Congress. Bishop Joseph Martino of Scranton, Pa. — Vice President-elect Joe Biden's hometown — went further at the meeting. He suggested the bishops use 'canonical measures' — such as denying Communion — to make their point.
'I cannot have the Vice President-elect coming to Scranton and saying he learned his values there,' Martino said, 'when those values are — at least in the area of abortion — utterly against the teachings of the Catholic Church.'"

Operation Rescue: Funeral For Baby Shanice To Be Held 26 Months After Being Left On Abortion Clinic Roof To Die

Dear Readers,
In the frantic last few weeks before the election, several stories went unfinished. I am nost upset about missing this one from early October.
If I had a million dollars, I would spend it placing ads in newspapers about this child's death. An African-American mother returned to her abortionist to deliver what was supposed to be a dead baby.
"According a police affidavit, the mother “observed the baby moving and gasping for air for approximately five (5) minutes. The staff began screaming that the baby was alive; at which time, Ms. Belkis Gonzalez cut the umbilical cord, threw it into a red bag with black printing. Ms. Gonzalez then swept the baby, with her hands, into the same red bag along with the gauze used during the procedure.”VISIT: Operation Rescue® » Blog Archive » Funeral For Baby Shanice To Be Held 26 Months After Being Left On Abortion Clinic Roof To Die:

Lincoln Institute of Public Opinion Research, Inc

Election analysis by Lowman Henry of Pennsylvlania's Lincoln Institute:
"The Republican Party nationally, and in Pennsylvania, lies in tatters today. Having lost the White House to Barack Obama, suffered historic losses in Congressional elections, been almost shut-out in statewide races, and experienced further erosion in the state House there is no doubt the GOP has hit rock bottom.
It is, most significantly, a loss for so-called moderate Republicanism. Party moderates have opined time and again that a more middle-of-the-road Presidential candidate could win Pennsylvania. McCain was touted as that candidate. He lost by 11% – far worse than the George W. Bush losses in either 2000 (5%) or 2004 (3%)." Visit:

Secondhand Smoke: Your 24/7 Seminar on Bioethics and the Importance of Being Human: Dire Straits: Assisted Suicide Passes in Washington State

Secondhand Smoke: Your 24/7 Seminar on Bioethics and the Importance of Being Human: Dire Straits: Assisted Suicide Passes in Washington State: "The culture of death once again has the wind in its sails after being moribund, at least as to assisted suicide, since 1994. There are many reasons for the loss having to do with the overwhelming financial backing from all around the world in favor of assisted suicide, to a popular former governor as spokesperson, an in-the-tank media that were full cheerleaders for the pro side, to a local campaign in opposition that was, to put it politely, very disappointing in its vision, imagination,and execution.

But none of that matters now. Here's what we face: There are very powerful people of the George Soros stripe, with a great deal of money, who are committed to pushing this agenda throughout the nation."

The ballot measure, patterned after Oregon's 'Death with Dignity' law, allows a terminally ill person to be prescribed lethal medication, which would be self-administered.

Is Pennsylvania McCain’s last stand? | News | thetimes-tribune.com - The Times-Tribune

In an article which pondered the reason that Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin spent so much time in Pennsylvania, local officials concluded: “There is no other reason for John McCain and Sarah Palin to be in the state based on what the polls say, except that they’re counting on us to be bigots,” said former Scranton Mayor James McNulty, a Democrat. “Why else are they here? They’re counting on Pennsylvania not voting for a black man.”
Ridiculous, says Republican Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak.

“He forgets that we were labeled bitter and hanging on to our guns and our Bibles,” Mr. Munchak said. “I don’t believe the polls. I honestly don’t believe the polls. I think a lot of people, when asked, are afraid to say they’re voting against Obama because people will put that (racist) label on them ... I think it’s a lot closer than Mr. McNulty thinks.”" Visit:

McCain Rally in Scranton

While 3,000 attended the McCain rally in Scranton this afternoon, a few hundred waited outside, some with tickets, as the doors were closed for reasons of fire safety. Since my husband and I were two of those left outside, we will have to rely on the Scranton Times for McCain's speech.

"SCRANTON -- On the rise in statewide polls as Election Day looms, Republican presidential nominee John McCain repeatedly ripped Democratic nominee Barack Obama on Sunday for proposing tax hikes and lacking experience during what was probably the last local stop by a candidate on either presidential ticket.

Speaking to a wildly enthusiastic crowd of about 3,000 at the University of Scranton, Mr. McCain used a 24-minute speech to repeatedly focus on Mr. Obama’s tax plan, charging taxes won’t only go up on the wealthy as the Democratic nominee says." Story Continues:
