PURIM REVISITED! IS THE ADL CORRECT??
“Mordecai had a cousin named Hadassah, whom he had brought up because she had
neither father nor mother. This girl who was also known as Esther, was lovely in form
and features, and Mordecai had taken her as his own daughter when her father and mother died.” Esther 2:7
On March 2, 2005 around our nation, Hadassah had a national Date with the State lobby day for SOS. Their State of Stem Cells presentation encouraging California style
funding for ESCR embryonic stem cell research. That SOS really ought to be
a call to help embryonic life in our nation.
Of all human groups which should be finely attuned to the needs of the oppressed, one
would think that Jewish mothers would be at the top of the list.
Having been the target of Hitler’s destructive march for eugenic purity, these descendents
of Auschwitz should be working over time to protect innocent life. They of all humans on the planet should be familiar with the beautiful story of Queen Esther and how the Lord used her to save His people.
Taking a human life to potentially find a cure for another human, is reminiscent of the heinous German notion of using the skin of murdered Jews to create lampshades. Have the memories of the holocaust grown so dim as to no longer serve as a morality check on today’s human psyche?
Pro-lifers are accused of opposing stem cell research. An honest assessment of the
opposition would reveal that they, to a person, support ethical stem cell research
which does not destroy human life.
Adult stem cell research has produced a variety of amazingly marvelous improvements
in the health status of the incapacitated. Embryonic stem cell research has to date produced no successful cures. In fact, harmful effects like teratomas have resulted.
With embryonic cells being undifferentiated, tumors of hair and baby teeth can
occur with implantations of ECSR.
The largest women’s group, Hadassah, should re-read the book of Esther and become
well versed in its lessons, before Purim, March 14.
Embryonic life in America needs you Hadassah!
“For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this.” Esther 4:14.

Letters to the Editor

March 11, 2005
To the Editor:
There are important philosophical issues in the debate over embryonic stem cell funding. Reasonable people can differ on questions of when life begins, or whether adult stem cell research is more promising. But it is never acceptable to descend to the level of offensive argument that appears in Leslie Hanks' letter of March 11 in The Colorado Statesman.
Instead of debating the merits of the issue, Ms. Hanks dwells on the Jewish roots of Hadassah, an international women's group, which encouraged the General Assembly to look into funding stem cell research.
Moreover, it is highly offensive, inflammatory, disrespectful and inappropriate to compare stem cell research to find cures for human disease with the Holocaust, in which the Nazis murdered six million Jews and others. Ms. Hanks has the audacity to tell Jews how they should think, believe and act in light of her interpretation of Jewish history and biblical stories.
Legitimate debate on important issues of the day is welcomed in our democracy. Diatribes focused on the religion of one's opponents and what they "should" believe are not appropriate, and deserve to be rejected by the readers of this publication.
Sincerely,

4-Year-Old Broomfield Boy
Starved to Death by Parents
The appalling starvation of Dylan is evidence of the limitless cruelty the compassion in dying movement will accept in order to remain faithful
to its mantra, "Better Dead Than Disabled."
Just prior to Christmas 2005, The Denver Post carried an exclusive, titled "Letting Go: Dylan’s Last Days. Two parents face an agonizing test of faith and love for their son." The piece raised great alarm for Colorado Right to Life. The special report is still available on line and chronicles the 24-day starvation death of 4-year-old Dylan Walborn of Broomfield, Colorado. The article states that The Denver Post agreed (ed.- perhaps "conspired" is more accurate) with the parents to withhold publication of the story until Dylan’s passing.
Dylan suffered with severe seizures from Cerebral Palsy, and even though the euthanasia movement has convinced the mainstream media that it is merciful to starve to death terminally ill patients, The Denver Post did not even raise the objection that Dylan was not dying, nor terminally ill. He was severely disabled.
The article makes the claim that the parents sought and received an approval to euthanize their son from Children’s Hospital, and from their pastor, Buddy Conn. The Denver Post omitted the name of Westminster’s Victory Church, where pastor Conn ministers. Victory has denied that they were aware of the parents’ decision to starve Dylan. Kevin Simpson, The Denver Post author of "Letting Go," told Colorado Right to Life that he stands by his story. To date the pastors of Victory Church have not publicly repudiated their reported involvement in the matter.

PRO-LIFE SLICE OF LIFE!!
Driving away from the killing clinic, she uttered a silent prayer. “Lord, let some of
the women change their hearts and minds. Father God, put obstacles in the way
of the abortionist that he might not be able to destroy the gifts of life, you’ve
so beneficently bestowed. Lord, I pray that the clinic workers will be horrified
by what they do. Let them dream about the blood that is on their hands.”
She was distracted as she drove by the sight of a disheveled black man, sitting street-side on a dusty side yard.
“He’s probably drunk,” she thought continuing toward the golf course
club house, where several rescuers had agreed to gather.
A myriad of thoughts bubbled in her sub-conscious as the car
progressed another two blocks. Her own father and brother might have been
that individual at another point in history.
“Kind of a strange place to be sitting,” popped into her mind. “What if he is
more than inebriated?” nagged at the back of her mind.
Putting the car into reverse, she backed up to where he sat.
“Are you ok?” she asked. He said, “No!”
“Are you intoxicated?” she continued.
“I think I’m having a heart attack!” he shouted. “Oh, my God,” she thought.
She grabbed her cell phone and jumped out of her car, racing to the man’s side.
Dialing 911, she told the dispatcher that she was at 20th and Gaylord by the side
of a man she had found, who believed he was having a heart attack.
Other pro-life rescuers assembled around the elderly gentleman as he screamed out
for his mother. Ken asked his name, Jo shouted, “Where does your mom live?”
In the ensuing chaos, Ralph told us his name and that his mom lived around the corner
just before going into a minor seizure.
Jo ran to his mother’s house while Ken lent comfort and the conversation with
the dispatcher continued.
“Please hurry,” “Oh Jesus, don’t let him die,” she spoke into the mobile phone.
Neighbors of the killing clinic who regularly criticized this group stopped, on their
way to church, upon seeing the commotion.
Ralph did admit, to those trying to help him, that he had been drinking – in between
seizing and sitting up calling out for his mom.
His history of cirrhosis came to light as the paramedics and the fire truck arrived very
shortly after the initial call was made.
Jo and Ralph’s mother arrived to support him as he was gingerly placed upon the
gurney, for what must have been “another” trip to the hospital.
As the crowd dispersed, she wondered what the neighbors were thinking of those
they regularly criticized for shouting to moms going in to kill their babies.
Would they recognize that their care for life transcended the pre-born to all
made in God’s image?
Would they see the connection on their way to worship? Would they care? Would they
join them in their quest for “justice for all” sometime in the future?
“Lord, let this all be for your glory.” Her reverie continued as she drove away from
the momentary detour from her life’s yearning.

MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH
Bill to kill 'Roe'
signed into law
Abortion ban by South Dakota
touches off fierce legal battle
Posted: March 6, 2006

South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds
South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds today signed into law a highly restrictive anti-abortion bill aimed ultimately at overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.
The legislation, passed last month by state lawmakers, bans abortion in nearly every case and punishes doctors who perform one with a $5,000 fine and five years in prison.
The bill allows abortion only in the event a mother's life is in danger, making no exception for rape or incest.
South Dakota Planned Parenthood, which operates the state's sole abortion clinic, has said it will challenge the law.
Rounds said in a written statement he expects the law will be tied up in court for years and will not be enacted unless upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"In the history of the world, the true test of a civilization is how well people treat the most vulnerable and most helpless in their society," Rounds said. "The sponsors and supporters of this bill believe that abortion is wrong because unborn children are the most vulnerable and most helpless persons in our society. I agree with them."
Prior to the signing, an anonymous donor pledged $1 million to help the state defend the new statute.
Last week, Rounds was in Washington for a National Governors Association meeting where he found more pledges of donations and the support of some of his colleagues across the nation.
"There is a lot of interest in it here," Rounds said, according to the Associated Press. "And there are a number of states that have similar legislation. A lot of governors expressing support and wishing us good luck and suggesting that they will have similar types of proposals that may very well be favorably looked upon across the United States."
State lawmakers in Georgia, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi and Indiana also are considering legislation that would heavily restrict abortions.
National pro-life activists, who are urging supporters to send $10 to Rounds to support the state's defense, chose South Dakota as its first vehicle to challenge the Roe decision.
They believe that if a legal challenge ever reaches high court, the recent addition of John Roberts and Samuel Alito to the bench makes it more disposed than ever to overturn the 1973 ruling.
As WorldNetDaily reported, South Dakota's House of Representatives passed a similar bill in 2004 by a 54-14 vote, before its narrow defeat in the Senate, 18-17. The bill actually initially passed the Senate, but Rounds issued a "style and form" veto, sending the bill back with wording changes to make sure existing abortion restrictions were not threatened if the bill were struck down in court.
In 2004, two pro-life groups clashed over the demise of the previous measure. The public-interest Thomas More Law Center, which helped draft the bill, accused National Right to Life of "complicity" with pro-abortion groups for lobbying against it.
Some pro-life groups think the time is not right to take such drastic measures to overturn the Roe decision.

US Supreme Court Gives Unanimous Victory to Pro-Life Protesters
Schiedler/Operation Rescue Vindicated
Washington, DC - Feb 28, 2006 The United States Supreme Court issued an unanimous ruling today finally clearing pro-life protesters of a 20-year old suit brought by NOW under the Federal Racketeer Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) laws. Joseph Scheidler, a long- time pro-life activist from Chicago, took the lead in defending the case on behalf of over 20 defendants, including Operation Rescue.
In an historic third trip to the nation’s highest court, Justice Stephen Breyer issued the unanimous opinion clearly stating that the case is over and that pro- lifers may not be sued under RICO. This decision also puts an end to a nationwide injunction against the protesters.
“We are very excited to finally see this case put behind us once and for all,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “This is a victory not only for pro-lifers, who can now exercise their First Amendment rights to speak out about abortion without fear of a RICO suit, but it is also a victory for the women and babies who are entering our nation’s abortion mills, who now will have greater access to more information and practical assistance that can help them spare the lives of their pre-born children.”
“This is a victory that is a long time in coming, but whose arrival was never in doubt,” said Rev. Patrick Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition. “Every American owes Joe Scheidler a debt of gratitude for fighting this battle over two decades to preserve freedoms for all Americans.”

Death for rapists, not their unborn children - Denver Post Letters February 28, 2006
South Dakota passed a bill to end abortions that doesn't include an exemption for cases of rape. That bothers some people. Their thinking, as told in an Associated Press article, is that if a rape victim becomes pregnant and bears a child, the rapist could have the same parental rights as the mother.
The idea that, to prevent a living rapist from being a father of a living child, some think it best to let the rapist live and to kill the child, instead of the other way around, is incredibly moronic.
Obviously, one better solution is to add convicted rapists to the list of those eligible for the death penalty. That would forever rid the child and all of society of a rapist in our lives. Another can be addressed by the legislature and/or the courts wherein rapists have no parental rights whatsoever over any child conceived during a rape.
The fact is that we don't have to think that the only solution is to kill the rapist's children, whether born or unborn, when other solutions are available.

Chicago is no longer my kind of town. It's a liberal Democrat kind of town. It's a town with a gay and lesbian center – funded by taxpayers. It's a town that aborts over 20,000 of its residents a year. It's Jesse Jackson's home town. It's a town where Republicans meet in catacombs. It's a town where even Catholic priests vote 4-to-1 Democrat.
So imagine my surprise when last week the overpowered Cook County Republican Party issued a press release accusing Democrat tyrants of abusing their most prized possession, African Americans.
In conjunction with Black History Month, the Chicago GOP wrote a profound pro-life editorial blaming the Democrat "pro-slavery" Party of "black genocide" because of its pro-abortion position:
One of the most infamous cases ever decided by a Democrat-controlled court was the Dred Scott case ... The result of Dred Scott was to strip African Americans of their standing under the law and thereby prevent them from ever exercising political power for the good of their people. Roe v. Wade subtly accomplishes the same ends by a different means.
The black population is curbed by convincing black mothers that their unborn children are only property which will financially destroy them, so it is in their interests and the interests of society to kill them. African Americans can thank the Democratic Party and its unyielding support for Roe v. Wade ... for today's veritable black genocide. Today's Democrats continue to advocate a society in which certain people are stripped of their humanity and denied political power.
Score a major hit for the GOP.
I don't know what got into those scrappy Republicans, but they weren't finished. They next took aim at Planned Parenthood:
Recent statistics indicate that since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent. Because abortion has been aggressively peddled to innercity black communities, black babies today are three times more likely to be killed in the womb than white babies. Abortion kills twice as many black babies as AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer and heart disease combined. Although it is possible that Planned Parenthood and its ilk are racially blind, 80 percent of Planned Parenthood facilities are located in minority neighborhoods.
Score a second major hit for the Republicans. Chicago's Planned Parenthood isn't accustomed to attacks. As the Democrat Party's very public mistress, Planned Parenthood is considered untouchable.
I blogged on the Cook County Republican Party's brave effort to bring the truth about the racist agenda of Democrats and Planned Parenthood to African Americans.
I linked in my blog post to an ad by LifeCommercials.com titled, "Why?" This ad exposes the eugenic agenda of Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger. I isolated one of Sanger's quotes from the ad as an illustration for my post: "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population ..."
One place I blog is Illinoize, a gathering hole of political bloggers in the Land Formerly of Lincoln. Illinoize is inhabited predominantly by liberals. I didn't quite fathom before I blogged how sacred are the Democrat Party and Planned Parenthood cows to liberals. But here is one sample of 139 mostly furious comments I received:
Jill Stanek is an animal. Absolutely an animal, and the Cook County GOP, the most irrelevant political organization in the country, is disgusting, and whatever hack consulting firm they're using for this ... are (sic) hate-mongering punks. Margaret Sanger said those words but, of course, meant the exact opposite – she was quoting a concern.
Stanek, you are a misleader, a liar, intellectually dishonest, a queen of the facile analogy, and best of all politically and socially irrelevant. Pathetic. This is absolutely disgusting, and you deserve this type of vitriol, because that is the kind of hate and vitriol you're putting out into the world.
And you thought I was exaggerating about those sacred cows.
Meanwhile, just as Indians revere their untouchable sacred cows while people lay dying in ignorance all around them, so do African Americans continue to revere their two sacred cows.
But I have hope.
Historically speaking, cows don't fare well in Chicago. It was a cow, after all, that kicked over Mrs. O'Leary's lantern and started the Great Chicago Fire.
It's only a matter of time before history repeats, and these two cows torch themselves due to their abortion obsession.
Jill Stanek fought to stop "live-birth abortion" after witnessing one as a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill. 2002, President Bush asked Jill to attend his signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. In January 2003, World Magazine named Jill one of the 30 most prominent pro-life leaders of the past 30 years. To learn more, visit Jill's blog, Pro-life Pulse.

One place I blog is Illinoize, a gathering hole of political bloggers in the Land Formerly of Lincoln. Illinoize is inhabited predominantly by liberals. I didn't quite fathom before I blogged how sacred are the Democrat Party and Planned Parenthood cows to liberals. But here is one sample of 139 mostly furious comments I received:
Jill Stanek is an animal. Absolutely an animal, and the Cook County GOP, the most irrelevant political organization in the country, is disgusting, and whatever hack consulting firm they're using for this ... are (sic) hate-mongering punks. Margaret Sanger said those words but, of course, meant the exact opposite – she was quoting a concern.
Stanek, you are a misleader, a liar, intellectually dishonest, a queen of the facile analogy, and best of all politically and socially irrelevant. Pathetic. This is absolutely disgusting, and you deserve this type of vitriol, because that is the kind of hate and vitriol you're putting out into the world.
And you thought I was exaggerating about those sacred cows.
Meanwhile, just as Indians revere their untouchable sacred cows while people lay dying in ignorance all around them, so do African Americans continue to revere their two sacred cows.
But I have hope.
Historically speaking, cows don't fare well in Chicago. It was a cow, after all, that kicked over Mrs. O'Leary's lantern and started the Great Chicago Fire.
It's only a matter of time before history repeats, and these two cows torch themselves due to their abortion obsession.
Jill Stanek fought to stop "live-birth abortion" after witnessing one as a registered nurse at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Ill. 2002, President Bush asked Jill to attend his signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. In January 2003, World Magazine named Jill one of the 30 most prominent pro-life leaders of the past 30 years. To learn more, visit Jill's blog, Pro-life Pulse.
BOBBY SCHINDLER'S STATEMENT FOR SB158
COLORADO NUTRITION/HYDRATION HEARING
FEBRUARY 16, 2005
My name is Bobby Schindler. My sister was Terri Schiavo.
On March 31st of 2005, Terri died of starvation and thirst after having her feeding tube removed by court order on the hearsay testimony of her husband, Michael.
My sister lived in a neurologically compromised state for reasons that are still unknown and my family wanted nothing from anyone but to be granted the permission to care for Terri for the span of her natural life. We were denied.
Terri tenaciously fought for her life for more than 13 days after being deprived of the most basic, natural and constant need that we all share – the need for nourishment – food and water. Terri was not on a respirator, not terminally ill, not dying and not succumbing to any killer disease. She was disabled. She was dependent on others. But, she was still very much a life, a woman and a person.
Throughout the entire history of mankind, never was it held that food and water constituted “medical care”. Our nation now claims food and water to be “medical treatment” instead of ordinary care, to facilitate their removal from persons deemed by the medical industry or the courts as “unworthy of life” primarily for economic reasons. Persons like Terri, with injuries and disabilities, are seen as not being worthy of life, not worth the investment.
It is beyond comprehension that we are seeing a culture of death impose its will upon society’s weakest and most vulnerable members. Every human being is endowed by his or her Creator with inestimable worth. Therefore no human being or agency has the authority to pronounce an innocent person such as my sister as “unworthy of life.”
We, as a society, are standing on a cliff with two clear and utterly polarized choices that we can make: Either we value each other – in spite of disability, or we despise each other based on those limitations.
I urge those in leadership to afford the protections to all weak and vulnerable people which were denied to my sister Terri.

WHO IS HALEIGH POUTRE?
Where are Tookie's supporters now?
I have a question for the hordes of bleeding-heart Hollywood stars who joined the "Save Tookie" brigade, bowed their heads in prayer with ex-Crip gangster Snoop Dogg and the Rev. Jesse Jackson and pleaded to save the life of convicted murderer Stanley "Tookie" Williams, and who lobbied so hard for the government to err on the side of life.
Where are you now?
In Boston, an innocent girl was sentenced to death by the state. Her name is Haleigh Poutre. Last fall, she was hospitalized after her stepfather allegedly burned her and beat her unconscious with a baseball bat. Haleigh was kept alive by a feeding tube and ventilator. Doctors said she was "virtually brain dead." They said she was in a "persistent vegetative state." The medical professionals pronounced her "hopeless."
Less than three weeks after Haleigh's hospitalization, the Massachusetts Department of Social Services was raring to remove Haleigh's feeding and breathing tubes. Even her biological mother (deemed unfit to care for Haleigh and whose former boyfriend was accused of sexually abusing the child) wanted her put to death. The only person who wanted Haleigh alive was her stepfather, who will likely be charged with murder if Haleigh dies.
Insane decision
Earlier this month, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled in favor of killing Haleigh, saying it was "unthinkable" to give the power to make a life-and-death decision to the man accused of putting Haleigh in a coma. Instead, the court did something just as unthinkable: It handed that power to the same child welfare agency that had failed time and time again to protect Haleigh.
According to the Boston Herald, a report by her court-appointed guardian showed that the Massachusetts Department of Social Services had received 17 reports of abuse or neglect involving Haleigh in the three years before her adoptive mother and stepfather were charged with pummeling her into a coma.
"State can let beaten girl die," the headlines trumpeted. But there was just one small complication for all of those who, for whatever reason, were in such a rush to let Haleigh die:
Haleigh is fighting to live.
As state officials prepared to remove Haleigh's life support, she began breathing on her own, responding to stimuli and showing signs of emerging from what doctors had deemed a hopeless condition. Everyone had given up on Haleigh -- except Haleigh.
Unbelievably, the state had weaned Haleigh off her breathing tube before the state Supreme Court ruled -- but the government failed to inform the court of this. Haleigh's medical records and the social service agency's brief remain sealed.
Politicians in Massachusetts are vowing full-scale investigations of the state's incompetent child welfare bureaucrats. But where's the accountability for the medical experts whose faulty diagnosis led to Haleigh's court-approved death sentence? Will they step forward and reveal themselves? Will they explain how they erred? Will they apologize?
It was the "experts'" unequivocal assessments that led the court to declare Haleigh in "an irreversible vegetative state" and to assert "the child could not see, hear, feel or respond." Now, they admit they were wrong. And Haleigh's life depends on the whims of a hopeless agency that didn't think the court needed to know she was breathing on her own.
Wake up
Haleigh's story is a wake-up call to "right-to-die" ideologues who recklessly put such unlimited trust in the medical profession and the nanny state. With such uncertainty surrounding persistent vegetative state diagnoses, the presumption must be in favor of life. Yet, the "right-to-die" lobby's mantra seems to be: When in doubt, pull it out.
While Haleigh clings to life, I've pondered how we might help persuade the plug-pullers to put off the child's state-sanctioned death sentence. I propose nominating her for a Nobel Prize. It bought Williams five extra years.

BOBBY SCHINDLER DEFENDS HIS SISTER TERRI
Dear Ms. Young,
I'm writing in response to your column, “Haleigh Poutre is no Terri Schiavo”.
After reading all of the dishonesty that you purport as truths in regard to my sister Terri, I have to say that this is not only the most irresponsible article that I have yet to read from the media regarding Terri’s situation, but possibly the most egregious.
You wrote that, “Schiavo had been in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years, and had undergone a barrage of tests showing that she had no higher brain functioning and no consciousness – a fact on which all unbiased medical experts agreed.”
I want to know how you’ve researched Terri’s case, and how you’ve obtained this information. Could it be that you’ve gathered your ‘facts’ from the other opinion pieces similar to the one you’ve written about Terri?
If you are referring to autopsy that ostensibly proved that Terri was PVS, then you are entirely wrong. The Independent Medical Examiner who performed the autopsy, Dr. Jon Thogmartin, went to great lengths to caution those reviewing Terri’s autopsy that a post-mortem, forensic examination could neither confirm nor refute a diagnosis of persistent vegetative state. This is because PVS is a clinical diagnosis based on the behaviors of a living patient and not forensic pathology.
Moreover, Dr. Stephen Nelson – a consulting pathologist who assisted Dr. Thogmartin with the autopsy report – admitted that, while Terri’s symptoms were consistent with PVS, he could not rule out the possibility that Terri was in a minimally conscious state.
And there are numerous pathologists and physicians that have responded to the autopsy finding as being misleading and ambiguous. This information could have been and still can be easily provided to you.
I wonder if you were you aware that – as indicated in Terri’s medical records – she was talking when given rehabilitation in the months following her injury? This completely refutes the PVS diagnosis.
Additionally, did you know that there were more doctors on record with the court (from some of the most distinguished institutions from across the country) stating that Terri was not in PVS than there were doctors that said she was? Furthermore, most of these affidavits (there are more than 42 in total) submitted by these doctors said that if Terri was given proper therapy, her functioning capacity could have improved. Why was this never reported by the media?
Did you know that a recent British Medical Journal has reported that nearly 43% of all PVS diagnoses are, in fact, misdiagnoses? Based on this report, the Independent Medical Examiner findings, the sworn testimony and affidavits of over 42 physicians, neurologists and other healthcare professionals contradicting that Terri was in PVS, I believe it is incredibly reckless for you to make the sweeping statement that Terri was PVS.
The fact that my sister received no therapy for more than thirteen years, which also was rarely if ever reported by the media, only added to the deterioration of her condition. No autopsy report could have ever determined how much Terri would have improved if she was receiving proper rehabilitation and therapy during the past thirteen years.
To make the statement that, “. . . all unbiased medical experts agreed” as to the condition of my sister is so completely disingenuous that the only conclusion I can draw is that you did absolutely no research into the doctors that evaluated Terri.
Dr. Ronald Cranford, hired by Michael Schiavo, has testified in almost every major case that the removal of the feeding tube should be permitted. He even takes pleasure in the moniker, Dr. Humane Death. To call him ‘unbiased’ is like calling Rush Limbaugh a liberal democrat. And one of the other doctors that testified in my sister trial, Dr. Peter Bambakidis, was later discovered as having ties to same organization as Michael Schiavo’s attorney George Felos.
But aside from all this, what is really sad is that your article and so many others like yours does nothing but discriminate against the disabled by labeling them with this dangerous and subjective PVS diagnosis. The PVS diagnosis was created for one reason and to serve only one purpose – to kill those that are the weakest and most vulnerable among us.
No amount of damage to the brain or level of disability should give anyone the authority to kill. But this is exactly what you are saying - and is now happening all the time - that we can justify the killing of human beings because they have reached a level of profound brain damage that is unacceptable for us to care for them anymore. So, tell me, how long do you give Haliegh to improve before you give up on her and decide that she must die?
What is really shameful though is that I have to respond to articles like yours and defend my sister’s life and explain why her family should have been permitted to love her.
Columnist Nat Hentoff commented on the media and how they have handled my sister’s case. He said that it was so shoddy and inaccurate that it was the worst case of ‘journalistic malpractice’ that he’s seen in 25 years.
It continues.

COLUMBINE DAD'S MARCH FOR LIFE MESSAGE FACES MEDIA BLACKOUT
On January 21, 2006 Brian Rohrbough, father of slain Columbine
student Danny, addressed the annual Colorado Right to Life
March for Life.
Brian told the nearly 700 in attendance that a nation cannot
teach a generation that it is ok to kill innocent pre-born babies
in their mother's wombs and be surprised at a result like
Columbine.
Colorado Right to Life ran controversial radio ads by Brian
in the days running up to the MFL which can be heard
on the Colorado Right to Life web site.
In spite of the ad campaign, the size of the turn out
and the incredibly powerful message given by
a man who knows from experience the toll abortion
has taken on our nation's soul, there was a nearly
complete media black out of Brian's speech.
Denver media would not allow the strong truth
to be proclaimed that the state which began the
abortion holocaust on April 25 1967, has a lot for which to answer.
God help us!

DENVER PROTESTERS CARRY TRUTH TO DENVER'S BLACK NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH
Several Denver sidewalk counsellors have targeted New Hope Baptist Church this week
for hosting a three day seminar featuring disgraced president Clinton's former pastor
Phillip Wogamon.
"Long time pro-abortion advocate Wogaman shouldn't be allowed in a black church considering
over 1,200 black babies die from abortion each day in our nation," said Jo Scott, whose efforts
in front of Denver's 20th and Vine Planned Parenthood clinic saved 104 babies in 2005.
On this past Sunday's picket of the influential black church, a young woman in her 5th month
of pregnancy ran up to the protesters crying and admitted that she had been to the 20th and
Vine killing clinic and turned back because Jo Scott and other protesters were there that day.
The Reverend Peters declined talk show host Bob Enyart's request that he meet with Jo
to thank her for helping to save a baby in his congregation from the abortion industry that
targets his community.

Life Commercials founder, Steve Curtis, has expressed a desire to take his ad campaign to New Hope Baptist Church

COLUMBINE AND ABORTION AD CAUSING CONTROVERSY
AND IRE FOR DENVER RADIO AUDIENCES
Brian Rohrbough, father of Danny who was slain in the Columbine
massacre,
made the case on the popular KHOW afternoon Caplis and Silverman show
yesterday that he believes there is a link between abortion and the
Columbine
murders. Colorado Right to Life is airing a commercial on KHOW radio
making the connection between Columbine and America’s first abortion law
passed in Colorado and signed April 25, 1967. The ad is promoting the
Colorado
Right to Life – MARCH FOR LIFE – January 21 st 2006 at 1:30 pm at the
Colorado
State Capitol.
Talk show host, Dan Caplis, admitted during the Rohrbough interview
that the radio
Commercial is causing controversy and even ire among Denver listeners to
the
Caplis and Silverman show.
Some, including Craig Silverman, feel sorry that Danny’s death is
being used
to promote the March for Life. Others think it is wrong that the father of
an innocent child murdered at Columbine would stand up and say its time to
stop the murder of all innocent children.
Colorado Right to Life Vice President, Leslie Hanks, applauds Brian
Rohrbough’s courage. “ It is about time someone spoke the truth so boldly!
Brian is saying what
our elected officials should have been saying for the nearly forty years
that innocent
pre-born babies have been murdered in their mother’s wombs”

91,700 abortions in city
BY PAUL H.B. SHIN
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Sunday, January 15th, 2006
For every 100 babies born in New York City, women had 74 abortions in 2004, according to newly released figures that reaffirm the city as the abortion capital of the country.
And abortions for out-of-town women performed in the city increased from 57 to 70 out of every 1,000 between 1996 and 2004, a subtle yet noticeable trend that experts say may reflect growing hurdles against the procedure in more conservative parts of the country.
The new Vital Statistics report released by the city Department of Health this month shows there were 124,100 live births, 11,700 spontaneous abortions and 91,700 induced abortions in the city in 2004.
That means 40 out of 100 pregnancies in the city ended in a planned abortion - almost double the national average of 24 of 100 pregnancies in 2002, estimated by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a Manhattan-based nonprofit group that researches reproductive health issues.
The city's role as a haven for women seeking to end pregnancies may become more pronounced as other states continue to adopt more legal restrictions against abortions - such as laws requiring mandatory waiting periods (25 states), parental consent or notification for minors (35 states) and two visits before an abortion (six states).
"If clinics are hard to get to, or the services are just unavailable, people are going to travel to get what in my mind is a critical public health service," said Joan Malin, president of Planned Parenthood of New York City.
The organization's Margaret Sanger Center in Manhattan is the largest abortion provider in New York, with 11,000 abortions performed a year.
Out-of-towners make up less than 2% of those receiving abortions at the center, but the number has gone up more than 20% in the last year, Malin said.
But abortion opponents called the city's high rate of procedures a "tragic" result of "marketing the culture of death."
"New York City has fashioned itself as being the philosophical center of 'abortion on demand,' and it has a thriving industry to show for it," said Christina Fadden Fitch, legislative director of the New York State Right to Life Committee.
The influx into the city of women seeking abortions could become a deluge - as it was in the early 1970s - if the landmark Roe vs. Wade decision legalizing abortions nationwide is repealed.
"If Roe vs. Wade were overturned and some states outlawed abortions, it's certainly possible we might begin to see more of the interstate travel we saw before," said Lawrence Finer, director for domestic research at the Guttmacher Institute.
That is what abortion-rights advocates feel may happen if Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito is appointed to the bench.
At his Senate confirmation hearings this week, Alito refused to describe Roe vs. Wade as a settled precedent. Under grilling from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), he also refused to distance himself from his 1985 opinion stating that women do not have a constitutional right to an abortion.
"The evidence is clear that Judge Alito opposes the constitutional right for a woman to choose an abortion, and were he to be confirmed, I would really be concerned about the future of Roe [vs. Wade] and the future of access, particularly for poor women," Malin said.
The Center for Reproductive Rights, an abortion-rights advocacy group, estimates that if Roe vs. Wade were overturned, abortions would likely be banned in 21 states, with the procedure at "medium risk" of being prohibited in another nine states.
91,700 abortions in city
BY PAUL H.B. SHIN
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Sunday, January 15th, 2006
For every 100 babies born in New York City, women had 74 abortions in 2004, according to newly released figures that reaffirm the city as the abortion capital of the country.
And abortions for out-of-town women performed in the city increased from 57 to 70 out of every 1,000 between 1996 and 2004, a subtle yet noticeable trend that experts say may reflect growing hurdles against the procedure in more conservative parts of the country.
The new Vital Statistics report released by the city Department of Health this month shows there were 124,100 live births, 11,700 spontaneous abortions and 91,700 induced abortions in the city in 2004.
That means 40 out of 100 pregnancies in the city ended in a planned abortion - almost double the national average of 24 of 100 pregnancies in 2002, estimated by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a Manhattan-based nonprofit group that researches reproductive health issues.
The city's role as a haven for women seeking to end pregnancies may become more pronounced as other states continue to adopt more legal restrictions against abortions - such as laws requiring mandatory waiting periods (25 states), parental consent or notification for minors (35 states) and two visits before an abortion (six states).
"If clinics are hard to get to, or the services are just unavailable, people are going to travel to get what in my mind is a critical public health service," said Joan Malin, president of Planned Parenthood of New York City.
The organization's Margaret Sanger Center in Manhattan is the largest abortion provider in New York, with 11,000 abortions performed a year.
Out-of-towners make up less than 2% of those receiving abortions at the center, but the number has gone up more than 20% in the last year, Malin said.
But abortion opponents called the city's high rate of procedures a "tragic" result of "marketing the culture of death."
"New York City has fashioned itself as being the philosophical center of 'abortion on demand,' and it has a thriving industry to show for it," said Christina Fadden Fitch, legislative director of the New York State Right to Life Committee.

What would Dr. King say?
By Joseph Farah

What is the leading cause of death among blacks in America today?
Is it gang murders?
Is it AIDS?
Accidents?
Cancer?
Sickle-cell anemia?
Heart disease?
Auto accidents?
Drugs?
Guess again.
In fact, if you combined all of these plagues together – and every other cause among the black population – they would not represent even half of the total number of abortions of unborn black babies in America.
That's right, abortion is the leading cause of death among blacks in America and twice as many unborn black babies are killed than by all other causes of death combined.
With all of the hand-wringing that goes on every year around Martin Luther King's birthday about the state of the black community in America, this may be the most overlooked statistic of all.
About 1,452 black babies are killed every day in America. Black women "choose" to have 32 percent of abortions that take place in the country, despite representing only 12 percent of the population. According to the Centers for Disease Control, "the abortion rate for black women was 3.1 times the rate for white women."
As Kelly Hollowell points out in her critically important new book, "Struggling For Life: How Your Tax Dollars and Twisted Science Target the Unborn," without abortion, America's black community would be 35 percent larger than it is today. It would represent a total population of 41 million. In total, every fourth member of the U.S. black population has been eliminated by abortion.
If this were happening in some other country, Americans might be able to see the phenomenon for what it truly is – genocide.
We might also be able to see that this is no accident.
The very same forces that have promoted this horrific policy from the start – as a means of lowering the black population – showed their cards long ago about their true intentions.
Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion company in America and throughout the world, was candid about her aims by the time she opened her first clinic in the 1920s:
[If] we can train the Negro doctor at the clinic, he can go among them with enthusiasm and with knowledge, which, I believe, will have far-reaching results ... His work, in my opinion, should be entirely with the Negro profession and the nurses, hospitals, social workers, as well as the country's white doctors. His success will depend upon his personality and his training by us.
The minister's work is also important, and also he should be trained, perhaps by the federation, as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs.
The fact that this non-profit company, Planned Parenthood, today receives hundreds of millions of dollars from the U.S. federal government – more today, under Republican leadership in the Congress and White House, than ever before – should be at least as troubling to blacks as it is to the pro-life community that wants to end the massive, subsidized killing through abortion for everyone.
As Hollowell puts it so effectively in her new book:
Imagine a country that forced its citizens to fund an organization which, by itself, was the third leading cause of death in that nation. In addition to operating an industry of death, imagine that this organization targeted communities based on race, fought tooth and nail to undermine parental rights and exposed teens to the most debauched forms of sexual perversion imaginable.
"Well, that is no imaginary nation," she writes. "In fact, you are living in it, if you call America your home."
As the nation marks the birthday of Martin Luther King this week, I began to wonder what he might think of such a development had he lived to see it.
Would he be part of the problem, like so many of his followers, including Jesse Jackson?
Would he condone the extermination of 25 percent of his community?
Would he accept the massive taxpayer funding of the machine that makes it all possible?
What would Dr. King say?

Having met with Pastors Conn and Ware, I am currently persuaded that
Buddy does not support starving the disabled and was not aware
of the parent's decision to end Dylan's life, as the story implied.
In attempting to get clarification from Kevin Simpson, he
said he stands by his story.
I look forward to a complete repudiation of the notion
that the role of "faith" encouraged the family in their determination
that it was appropriate to starve Dylan for 24 days, unto death.

COLUMBINE DAD SPEAKS FOR LIFE:
“ Abortion is always Wrong!”
Brian and Lisa Rohrbough were invited to speak at the 4th annual
Perinatal/
Neonatal Medical Ethics Conference, held on March 13, 2005 at Memorial
Hospital in Colorado Springs. In attendance were doctors, nurses, and
ethics
professors from around the state and the country. This conference took
place
just days after the court ordered starvation of Terri Schiavo. Find out why
Brian was invited and hear his insightful perspective at the Colorado Right
to Life March for Life on January 21, 2006.
“Throughout history, any country that has refused to protect its
people, especially
the most vulnerable – the weak, the sick, the innocent, the children – have
all
collapsed. In the United States, we accept the murder of children through
abortion. Abortion is promoted in our schools, in our government, and
sadly sometimes
in our churches. This teaches children that life isn’t valuable and now
many believe
they can and should murder their classmates. The Columbine murderers
stated this in
their basement videos.” Brian Rohrbough.

TO THE DENVER POST:
Editor,
Kevin Simpson's piece, "Letting Dylan Go," merits the
nation's most morally repugnant story of 2005.
Your decision to get the Exclusive by waiting until
Dylan's "journey" to the grave was complete is
reprehensible!
Readers might feel like they are reading a Twilight Zone
episode if they don't think about the reality of a disabled child starving
for 24 days, unto death.
Of course the whole sordid tale had the blessing of
the parent's spiritual leader, Pastor Conn - could a name be more apropos?
A morality tale at Christmas lacking love, hope, faith or
sacrifice - the real reasons for the season.
