Pastor Nadarkhani's Congressional Resolution

For going on six months the ACLJ has been working feverishly to raise awareness about the plight of a Christian Pastor ~ Yosef Nadarkhani and his family, who are being severely persecuted by Iran for his refusal to renounce his savior, Jesus Christ.

Yours truly wrote about this modern day Shadrach last October.

Since then the stakes have been raised and just a few days ago, the tyrannical leadership of Iran has determined the good Pastor will be executed for Apostasy.

Even though they will be violating international human rights protections, Iran is in high gear saber rattling mode currently and so international pressure needs to ratchet up several notches.

If you have yet to come to the aid of this dear brother in the Lord and his wife and two sons, now is the time!

Please call your congressman and plead for them to support Pastor Nadarkhani by co-sponsoring House Resolution
556 below:

HRES 556 IH
112th CONGRESS2d Session

H. RES. 556
Condemning the Government of Iran for its continued persecution, imprisonment, and sentencing of Youcef Nadarkhani on the charge of apostasy.

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

February 17, 2012
Mr. PITTS (for himself, Mr. FRANKS of Arizona, Mr. SHULER, Mr. WOLF, Mr. MCGOVERN, Mr. ELLISON, and Mr. CARTER) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs

RESOLUTION
Condemning the Government of Iran for its continued persecution, imprisonment, and sentencing of Youcef Nadarkhani on the charge of apostasy.

Whereas the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights uphold that every individual shall have `the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion', which includes the `freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance';

Whereas Iran is a member of the United Nations and signatory to both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights;

Whereas articles 23 through 27 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran provide for freedom of expression, assembly, and association, as well as the freedom to practice one's religion;

Whereas Iran is a religiously diverse society and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran reports that religious minorities including Nematullahi Sufi Muslims, Sunnis, Baha'is, and Christians face human rights violations in Iran;

Whereas in recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of incidents of Iranian authorities raiding religious services, detaining worshippers and religious leaders, and harassing and threatening minority religious members;

Whereas the United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights reports that Iranian intelligence officials are known to threaten Christian converts with arrest and apostasy charges if they do not return to Islam;

Whereas in October 2009, Youcef Nadarkhani, a minority Christian, protested an Iranian law that would impose Islam on his Christian children;

Whereas in September 2010, an Iranian court accused Youcef Nadarkhani of abandoning the Islamic faith of his ancestors, and condemned him to death for apostasy;

Whereas the Iranian court sentenced Youcef Nadarkhani to death by hanging according to Article 167 of the Iranian Constitution, Article 8 from the book of Tahrir Alvasilah Fi Sofat Alghazi Va Maianaseb Lah, and Fatwas of Shia theologians;

Whereas, on December 5, 2010, Youcef Nadarkhani appealed his conviction and sentence to the Supreme Revolutionary Court in Qom, Iran, and the court held that if it could be proven that he was a practicing Muslim in adulthood, his death sentence should be carried out unless he recants his Christian faith and adopts Islam;

Whereas, on September 25, 2011, through September 28, 2011, the State Court of Gilan Section 11 held hearings to determine if Youcef Nadarkhani was a practicing Muslim in adulthood, and held that he had abandoned the faith of his ancestors and must be sentenced to death if he does not recant his faith;

Whereas on numerous occasions the judiciary of Iran offered to commute Youcef Nadarkhani's sentence if he would recant his faith;

Whereas numerous Government of Iran officials have attempted to coerce Youcef Nadarkhani to recant his Christian faith and accept Islam in exchange for his freedom;

Whereas upon the date of the passing of this resolution, Youcef Nadarkhani has refused to recant his faith;

Whereas the Government of Iran continues to indefinitely imprison Youcef Nadarkhani for choosing to practice Christianity; and

Whereas the United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights reported that, at the time of his report, in 2011, Iran had secretly executed 146 people, and in 2010, Iran secretly executed more than 300 people:

Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the House of Representatives--

(1) condemns the Government of Iran for its state-sponsored persecution of religious minorities in the Islamic Republic of Iran and its continued violation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and calls for the Government of Iran to exonerate and immediately release Youcef Nadarkhani and all other individuals held or charged on account of their religion;

(2) recognizes that freedom of religious belief and practice is a universal human right and a fundamental freedom of every individual, regardless of race, sex, country, creed, or nationality, and should never be arbitrarily abridged by any government; and

(3) recognizes that governments have a responsibility to protect the fundamental rights of their citizens and to pursue justice for all.

Never in my lifetime have I seen such courage from a Christian martyr. His refusal to renounce his Savior is not something
seen in America's seeker friendly churches.

May we all not only pray for this modern day hero's release but emulate his steely resolve ~ for Christian persecution isn't contained within any particular country's borders.

For the sakes of our children and grandchildren ~ PLEASE stand in solidarity with our brother in the Lord.

Pampered Pink's Pervasive Pomposity

"We tend to focus on the cure ~ rather than the preventative."

As a woman who has been vilified for a decade protesting Susan G Komen's Race for the Cure, I'm astounded by today's admission that they have made the decision to stop giving grants to Planned Parenthood!!

This news is HUGE and a long time in coming. Were it not for the diligent work of Lila Rose in determining that Planned Parenthood doesn't even do mammograms, the decision might have been postponed for a lot longer.

This quote from today's Washington Post, is indicative of how Planned Parenthood is on the precipice of the abyss:

The wife of one of America's first legislators to legalizing child killing bemoaned the decision, "The Komen decision was perplexing to Dottie Lamm, a Denver newspaper columnist and breast cancer survivor. She has done fundraising for Planned Parenthood, participated in several Races for the Cure, and serves on an honorary advisory council for the local Komen affiliate.

“It really makes me sad,” said Lamm, wife of former Colorado Gov. Richard Lamm. “I kind of suspect there’s a political agenda that got to Komen ... I hope it can be worked out.”

In 2006, Colorado Right to Life met with Komen officials in Denver along with former Komen board member, Eve Silver.

"Komen Denver board member and chairman of the grants committee, J.P. Pedinielli, and public relations representative, Dana Brandorff, attempted to dissuade CRTL from protesting at the Race arguing that "Planned Parenthood is not a current grantee" of Komen's Denver chapter, and when challenged, added that Planned Parenthood, "might have been a previous grantee." CRTL vice president Leslie Hanks then documented the continued local funding of the abortion provider throughout this decade. Eve Silver showed from Komen documentation that the national organization has given as much as $475,000 in a single year to abortion-provider Planned Parenthood."

"Even if abortion proved beneficial to a woman's health," said Hanks, "government should still prohibit the killing of an innocent human being, because abortion is always wrong."

When asked about why women aren't told about the most avoidable risk for breast cancer, Komen's Brandorff replied, "We tend to focus on the cure... we're focusing our energies on that, rather than the preventative."

After that shocking admission, I'm still incredulous that it took six more years for the truth to trickle out and enough organizations to put on the considerable pressure required for an appropriate business decision to be made.

Heads up, Starbucks!!

Sense and Sensibility

Jo Scott ~ Denver, Colorado

Last night, U.S. District Judge Philip Brimmer denied the Justice Department's allegation that Kenneth Scott's sidewalk counseling efforts at Planned Parenthood in Denver make it "unreasonably difficult" for patients and employees to get to the clinic. If the Justice Department had proven that Mr. Scott was guilty of their charges, he would have been saddled with a preliminary injunction that would have kept him 25 feet from the driveway. Instead, Judge Brimmer, stated that Mr. Scott is a “sensible man” as he ruled against the injunction.

The process for yesterday’s hearing and the subsequent $10,000 Federal law suit coming later this year has been grueling for both Kenneth and his attorneys. The Federal Government has a battery of lawyers working to protect the abortion industry in Colorado from the truth. If not for the diligent, self-sacrificing work of Rebecca Messall, along with Peter Breen, Tom Brejcha of the Thomas More Society out of Chicago, the outcome yesterday would have been very different.

Mike Wagner, head security guard for Planned Parenthood was a witness against Ken Scott. A video that the government produced as evidence was intended to show that Scott was dangerous, when handing out literature to cars entering the abortion facility’s lot. The video shows Kenneth handing a client an information packet and Wagner driving up behind the vehicle stopped in the driveway. Mr. Wagner testified that he felt “frightened and concerned” when he couldn’t get into the driveway. The incident lasted ten seconds and no police report was filed.

Wagner carries a gun and has extensive military training. He’s a former police officer and now serves as the head of security for the entire Rocky Mountain region Planned Parenthood operation. It makes one ponder what seeing a Planned Parenthood client receiving an information packet could possibly make him panic? Even Judge Brimmer, while explaining his ruling, expressed his doubt about the former police officer’s credibility. For these reasons, Mike Wagner is the reluctant recipient of “Best Hostile Witness of the Day” award.

When questioned by Scott's lawyer, Mike Wagner, said he wasn't aware of any fender-benders because of Scott. Ironically, there was quite a wipe out two years ago during a snow storm as Mr. Wagner raced around the corner at Planned Parenthood and plowed into two cars. Both of the cars belonged to pro-lifers who were praying across the street from the abortion facility.

Ken Scott’s witnesses were exemplary. Binette Bah in particular, caught the attention of the court when she entered the room to testify with her four year old daughter. Cute little Binette was heading to the witness stand following her mom but had to be directed to sit in the gallery. The entire courtroom watched as she stood in her seat to see her mommy.

On the witness stand Binette was asked how she knew Ken Scott. “I met Ken Scott at Planned Parenthood the day I went for an abortion.” Before Binette finished her testimony she instructed the people in the courtroom to look at her daughter and said, “If it weren’t for Ken Scott I would not have my daughter today.” When Binette left the witness stand little Binette ran to her mom and hugged her. It was a sweet sight to behold.

KPOF, a local Denver Christian radio station, has consistently invited Ken and Jo Scott to their program for almost a decade. KPOF hosts, Roy Henchke and Denise Washington Blomberg, told Ken that since they have been broadcasting the events at the abortion mill their listeners view the pro-life ministry differently than they had in the past. The audience has invested their prayers in the ministry and they are genuinely concerned about the welfare of the sidewalk counselors. No longer does the Christian community view the pro-lifers at the abortion mills as judgmental, aggressive or hateful. KPOF is changing the world for Jesus and helping to save the lives of innocent baby boys and girls while offering a very important outlet for the truth to be shared.

The U.S. Justice Department, under Barack Obama, is targeting free speech outside of abortion mills in at least seven states. In doing so, they are jeopardizing the lives of thousands of children and their moms. Do not be deceived, free speech everywhere is at risk when the government decides who is allowed to speak and where that government approved speech is allowed to take place.

"The world had made him extravagant and vain - extravagance and vanity had made him cold-hearted and selfish. Vanity, while seeking its own guilty triumph at the expense of another, had involved him in a real attachment, which extravagance, or at least its offspring necessity, had required to be sacrificed. Each faulty propensity in leading him to evil, had led him likewise to punishment."
- Sense and Sensibility, Ch. 44

ICYC ~ In Case You're Curious

As if things in Denver aren't sick and sordid enough in Denver with the Twilight Zone tale of a "National Cop of the Year" apparently turned meth user and alleged exploiter of young men; now local sex abuse enabler, Planned Parenthood, is launching a community outreach program to give your kids advice about their "sexual health."

As the Denver Post reported yesterday, Alice Macklin will head up the community education program ICYC for Planned Parenthood.

A number of questions come to mind . . .

Is MS Macklin a licensed medical professional? Will she be personally responsible for the carnage left in her wake? Will she know the age of the child that is seeking her sexual advice? Is she familiar with the physical, emotional and spiritual risks associated with sexual activity in young teens and even middle school children?

Or will she be an abortion and sexual activity recruiter?

Since Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains is an affiliate of the national "non profit" which killed over 300,000 innocent babies in the womb last year for profit, should moms and dads be alarmed over the possibility their children will be victimized by this new texting out reach marketing program? Absolutely!!

PP spokeswoman, Monica McCafferty, stated on Caplis and Silverman's KHOW drive time show yesterday that their new program encourages kids to talk to their parents ~ one of her funniest lines. Moms have come out of their abortion facility and told stories about being prevented from even talking to their daughters when their grand child is about to be killed.

Will your child's natural, normal and God given inhibitions be mocked and broken down?

Does PP give medically accurate information to their female clients to whom they routinely dispense harmful steroidal agents for "contraceptive" use? Of course not. Do they explain that The Pill has been dubbed a "Molotov Cocktail" for breast cancer by breast surgeon, Dr. Angela Lanfranchi? Do they mention the greatly increased rate of premature birth in women who have had abortions? Do they tell girls that abortion elevates the risk of ectopic pregnancy? Do they share the dirty little secret that abortion of a first pregnancy nearly doubles the rate of breast cancer later in life? The answer is unequivocally NO!!

How many parents of young teens are aware of the numerous under cover stings by Lila Rose which showed that Planned Parenthood routinely fails to report sexual abuse of minors and they tell the girls to call back and not mention the age of their adult abuser, so they can facilitate illicit sexual behavior and sell more abortions down the road.

Colorado's Republican Attorney General, John Suthers' office was made aware of a local sting of Planned Parenthood in 2006 and told Colorado Right to Life that there was nothing to be done.



Illicit sexual behavior? Such a quaint notion, isn't it?

But now that we see how Denver is apparently a hub for human trafficking, one wonders how Planned Parenthood can not be an important cog in Denver's ongoing youth sexual exploitation saga.

If you value your child's life and future emotional health and well being, you MUST warn them of the dangers of having any interaction with this evil, racist organization which preys on the young and vulnerable for profit.

In case you're curious, PP wants your kid sexually active, as early as possible, so they can sell them between 3 and 5 abortions for around $500. a pop.

Pretty good racket if you ask me!

Coming to a neighborhood near you, soon . . .

" But the tongue can no man tame"

"But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison." James 3:8



I've been a student of the holocaust and how it parallels the current American genocide on the pre-born for some time but oddly enough, till very recently, I've not realized as fully as I should have how powerfully language was twisted in the dehumanization required for both horrors to prevail. I'd like to thank Life Resources Charitable Trust for publishing their "Word Games" article by life.org.nz, from which I've borrowed generously.

For the past few years I've been grieved in spirit at the notion the pro-abortion forces promote that the baby in the womb is a mere parasite and so of course is worthy of extermination.

"Feminist Naomi Wolf said that "In the quest for the liberation of the female self, the fetus was reduced to nothing more than a parasitic mass." Colorado's very own late term abortionist, Warren Hern, said, " the relationship between the pregnant woman and the fetus "can be understood best as one of host and parasite." From this he defines abortion as a "defense mechanism" against the "local invasion" and accompanying "deleterious effects of the parasite."



A foetus has also been called "an unseen infection," "product of conception," "the pregnancy," "a sexually transmitted disease" and "a cancerous growth". Abortion supporters have stated that abortion is the "preferred treatment" for "unwanted pregnancy" and "an aborted baby is just garbage." Abortion is commonly referred to as a mere "procedure" or "minor surgical operation" and abortionists are often called "service providers."

Just recently, however, have I come across the same terminology used to describe Jews in Nazi Germany to persuade Hitler's followers that they were somehow deserving of their destruction. In The Evolution of Terminology ~ Word Games, they explain, "Dr. Joseph Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany was able to manipulate the thought patterns of an entire nation."



And furthermore, "The German people were, over time, conditioned to dehumanise the Jews and to think of them as, quote, ..."a gangrenous appendix"... "vermin"...and "parasites." Once the victim's full humanity was denied, killing them became easier to justify. "

Transforming the cultural image of God's miraculous creation from the infinitely valuable gift that it is ~

to that of an evil invader is beyond comprehension, but we've seen it before and because as scripture warns in Jeremiah, " The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" we'll continue to see it again and again.


Proverbs 18;21 explains, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

Yet scripture also teaches . . .

"A wholesome tongue is a tree of life" (Prov. 15:4) May we as a nation heed His words of life!

Will Mississippi Change the Course of our Nation ?

Wow! It's been way too long since I've written a post here but I've had my reasons.

I've been blessed to be in Mississippi fighting to get out the vote to pass Amendment 26
to give legal protection to every baby in the womb. What a joy to meet people in the south
who have hearts tender toward God and his Creation, especially the tiny ones in utero.

Standing alongside a marvelous team of Godly men and women, we were so thrilled to take our message to the streets where we were greeted with 20-30 honks for life for every thumbs down.

We were really touched by the fact that even those who aren't supportive of the God-given, inalienable right to life, were so darned nice about it.

Where were the hard hearts we encountered in our Colorado battles to pass A 48 and A 62?

Ok, we did get cussed out by one car of vulgar young college girls but for the most part, we were very well received!

What an amazing experience we had lodging with our 85 year old midwife who escaped Nazi Germany!

Our hostess was not only full to overflowing with hospitality but she ran circles around us younger folks in her state to end the abortion holocaust.



Our gracious new friend and others on our team spent hours talking about the dangers she sees in America that many of us are missing because we are too close to the forest to see the trees.

God alone knows how today's vote will turn out but I'm not willing to stop calling MS voters as long as there is still a chance to get one more to the polls!

For I fear that unless America turns from our wicked ways and stops the shedding of innocent blood, the warning of our new friend's brother's book to our nation may become mandatory reading for this generation and their children to survive.



As my Pastor always reminds us, Personhood is the dagger in the heart of liberalism!!

Mississippi, all eyes are upon you ~ May you turn our ship of state back to the Lord!
