*Serious hypocrisy. - Abortion Abhortion Oct 16, 2009, 12:13 pm
"The last patient I saw one day was 23 weeks pregnant. I performed an uncomplicated D&E procedure. Dutifully, I went through the task of reassembling the fetal parts in the metal tray. It is an odd ritual that abortion providers perform - required as a clinical safety measure to ensure that nothing is left behind in the uterus to cause a complication - but it also permits us in an odd way to pay respect to the fetus (feelings of awe are not uncommon when looking at miniature fingers and fingerna
*Fact: Even Pro-choicers don't always support "choice." - Abortion Abhortion Oct 14, 2009, 12:41 pm
Irene Vilar has written a memoir about her 15 abortions, and how she was an "addict," because it was her way to rebel against her husband. She would deliberately get pregnant just to abort, because her husband, 34 years her senior, didn't want children. [I still don't understand that logic.]I honestly find it hard to believe she had 15 abortions and still gave birth to two healthy children. I think she might just be lying. Even so, the pro-choicers are up in arms. Reading some of the comments on
*In memory of "The Sign Guy," Jim Pouillon. - Abortion Abhortion Sep 12, 2009, 1:53 pm
Jim Pouillon, with his walker and oxygen tank, constantly reminded townspeople of the gruesome truth that is abortion. He wasn't violent. He had been spit on. Doused in urine. Pelted with condoms. He didn't retaliate. He didn't fight back. He just stood with his signs, day after day, proclaiming the truth and witnessing to life. Do I agree with using graphic pictures? Not necessarily. Though after being at the mill today, it brought a whole reality to what was happening. I looked at the grotesqu
*Praying in Pittsburgh. - Abortion Abhortion Sep 12, 2009, 1:25 pm
I went with Students for Life this morning to the mills in Pittsburgh. There was a good sixty of us, with maybe eight counsellors. We got a special blessing at Mass and were on our way. I broke my record of most consecutive prayers said, ever. I don't think I've ever spent four hours straight in prayer. Anyways, I think they must be used to our presence there. No one really asked any questions, or made crass remarks. The Deathscorts didn't even bother us. Granted, I don't know how much they got
*Catholic Vote Ads - Abortion Abhortion Aug 2, 2009, 3:20 pm
Perhaps I'm behind, but Catholic Vote released two more Imagine the potential Ads.I love them so much, I really do. And one for the Moon Landing Anniversary...These ads honestly just make me smile. It's hard to ignore the plain, simple truths in them. You can't call it slanted. They just present facts in a thought-provoking and hopeful way. They don't say, "I'm right and you're wrong."They say, "Let me show you the truth. Think about it." And that's what we have to do as pro-lifers. As soon as o
*To stress being pro-active - Abortion Abhortion May 23, 2009, 6:50 pm
Oftentimes, I find myself talking to people who are passionately pro-life, but don't do anything to further the cause. I've received various answers, from "I just don't have time," all the way to "Because the pro-lifers that actually protest are crazies!"A lot of people tend to put activists on the extreme end of their spectrum. I mean, look at PETA. Or anti-war hippies. And then everyone knows the pro-life activists are clinic bombers, right?Wrong. Most pro-life activists are, in fact, non-viol
*Do your homework! - Abortion Abhortion May 24, 2009, 9:27 pm
So while I love reading up on ways to argue with pro-aborts, one thing I've noticed is most pro-life handbooks say the same thing.Consistency is certainly a good thing while arguing. But you know how in geometry class, you had that teacher who only explained how to do proofs one way? When it came time for you to prove why (x-3)8+y=32, you knew what to do, but you were just...stuck. [By the way, I totally made up that problem. I couldn't solve it if I wanted to...]Well, that's kindof how pro-life
*Reeling in the pro-life fringe. - Abortion Abhortion May 25, 2009, 8:21 am
As I'm sure you are well aware, pro-lifers are the majority at 51% with pro-choicers being the minority at 42%.But do you know which groups call themselves pro-life?There are many fringe groups- Pagans for life, "Godless Pro-lifers" [Atheists and Agnostics] Pro-life alliance of Gays and Lesbians [PLAGAL] and many more.In fact, on the Gallup Poll about 19% of Liberals proclaimed their pro-life ideology. 31% of people fitting in the non-christian category said they were pro-life as well.That's a f
*Living in True Alignment - Abortion Abhortion May 25, 2009, 1:48 pm
So, I get tired of hearing "Pro-lifers don't care about the baby after it's born. They are such hypocrites in that manner."But I never get tired of listing different ways I help those would-be aborted children. This is another way that pro-lifers should get involved. I'm [hopefully] volunteering with St. Vincent DePaul's Day Camp. It's a camp in inner city Baltimore for homeless and impoverished children, providing them a safe and educational place to spend time during the day. I also work at so
*The Abortion-Eugenics Connection - Abortion Abhortion May 28, 2009, 5:24 pm
Considering Stalin and Hitler were the first two leaders to decriminalize abortion, I have always wondered why women rally under the banner of 'choice.” The atrocities of mandatory abortions and forced sterilizations in the Third Reich and the USSR have always given me pause to thank God that America wasn't like that. Then I did some research. The Cold War was a time for America to prove just how different from Russia it really was, but very few people know of America's dirty little secret. Un
*On clinic violence. - Abortion Abhortion Jun 1, 2009, 6:30 pm
IT IS BAD!Why do some people take the liberty to be "God's Warriors" in order to kill an abotionist? It isn't right. They have just as much the right to live as the pre-born babies they kill everyday. This is where the Dept. of Homeland Security gets it's leverage to call us pro-lifers "extremists" and "possible terrorists." This is what makes us look like hypocrites. This is what makes the pro-life cause look like a joke. This is what is going to take away our right to peaceably assemble and s
*Partial-Birth Aboriton- An Affair to Remember? - Abortion Abhortion Jul 17, 2009, 12:37 pm
New studies show babies in utero as early as 30 weeks, and possibly earlier, have short term memory.Memory probably begins during the prenatal period, but little is known about the exact timing or for how long memory lasts. Now in a new study from the Netherlands, scientists have found fetal short-term memory in fetuses at 30 weeks.The study provides insights into fetal development and may help address and prevent abnormalities.

*Abortion and the media - Abortion Abhortion Jul 21, 2009, 12:19 pm
I remember when I first heard the song "Brick" by Ben Folds. I listened to it three times straight before I understood it was about abortion. Then my heart broke, and I started crying. Ben Folds said of the song, "People ask me what this song's about... I was asked about it a lot, and I didn't really wanna make a big hairy deal out of it, because I just wanted the song to speak for itself. But the song is about when I was in high school, me and my girlfriend had to get an abortion, and it was a
