ANY WAY TO TREAT A VETERAN?

Orthodox Jew to remain on life support, trial next

This horrific morality tale being played out in Canada should be a wake up for us all!


Golubchuk's adult children argue that taking their father off of life support goes against their faith.

The case of a family's fight to keep their 84-year-old father on life support against the wishes of a Winnipeg hospital will go to trial, after a judge ruled that doctors should not have "the final say."
In the meantime, Samuel Golubchuk, an Orthodox Jew, will remain on life support at Grace Hospital, connected to a feeding tube and ventilator.
"We are grateful for the decision the judge made -- not only for my father, but for all the elderly people and disabled people," son Percy Golubchuk told reporters.
Doctors at the facility have claimed that Golubchuk has minimal brain function and that his chances for recovery are slim.
But Golubchuk's adult children argue that taking their father off of life support goes against their faith. They say hastening their father's death is a sin under their Orthodox Jewish faith.
"Doctors don't know everything," said Percy Golubchuk. "God is the major doctor." (continued . . )

FEELING BLUE?

Need a boost to get your day going and heart focused
on Him?

I've been thinking and praying today about Lauren Richardson.
For the first time I found my way to the testimonial page on her web site.

Let your heart be blessed by the love, dedication and hope in these individual's stories of their disabled loved ones.

Take a moment to Praise the Lord for dear souls like these, who love in spite of the obstacles and persevere when the system tells them to give up.

These are the kinds of hearts that established America's hospitals, before they became money driven.

Lord, we pray for an outpouring of your love and healing upon Lauren and her family this day.




Touch the heart of the judge in this matter, that he will recognize the value of this beautiful young mom. Let Lauren understand the love and concern pouring forth on her behalf. Bring goodness where some mean for evil to prevail.

LORD, WE LOVE YOU AND PRAISE YOU for every day that you give us to proclaim your mighty name.

FAILURE TO ADMIT THAT LIFE IS SACRED
LEADS TO MENTAL ILLNESS

Royal College of Psychiatrists completely misses the big picture!

The recent suicide of 30 year old Emma Beck has London abuzz. After aborting her twins, this young mom couldn't live with the knowledge of what she did.

Setting arbitrary guidelines will never do.

Life begins at fertilization and "A person's a person,
no matter how small!"

PERSONHOOD NOW!

THANK YOU MONICA MIGLIORINO MILLER!!

Since the late 1980s, Miller has helped bury thousands of aborted babies.

"She said she marks the tombstones of the common graves with the words, "Holy Innocents of God," includes the date the remains of the unborn were recovered, and includes a verse from the Bible from the book of Jeremiah, The Lord says, 'A sound is heard in Ramah, a sound of crying in bitter grief. It is the sound of Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because her children are gone.'"


This heartbreaking CNS News article about the vile, Michigan abortionist Alberto Hodari's abominable practice of treating babies, made in God's image, as garbage should be a wake up call to America.

Sadly, Mark Crutcher is correct!

"The only difference between Hodari and the typical abortion provider is that Hodari got caught," said Mark Crutcher, founder and president of Life Dynamics."

OBAMA'S PASTOR - PRO-ABORT AND PRO EUTHANASIA!!

Jill Stanek's blog recently
revealed that Senator Obama's "Spiritual Advisor" is associated with a sham religious organization, RCAR - Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice.

Lifetree.org added insult to injury yesterday with the revelation that the Wright reverend has also shown up around America hawking the end of life pro-death mantra:

"Barack Obama's minister for the past 20 years, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has been in the news this past week for his hate-filled rhetoric. His name, and his church, sounded familiar. Now I know why.

Back in 2004, as right-to-die group Partnership for Caring transitioned into "Last Acts Partnership," Rev. Wright's name was listed (on their website) as a member of the Board of Directors for Last Acts Partnership. Rev. Wright and a deacon from his church -- Rosalyn Priester -- participated in Richard Payne's "Last Miles" conference (funded by Soros's Project on Death, and by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation). Payne's institute at Duke focuses on educating African-Americans on end-of-life issues, and the Institute is not exactly pro-life.

When Terri died, they were one of the first out of the box to host a conference to explain that her death was not euthanasia; it was merely an ugly family disagreement. The Institute perpetuates the myth that withholding/withdrawing is a good death. Wright's church has participated heavily in the Duke projects, in Last Acts, and in the RWJF faith-based programs. (http://www.iceol.duke.edu/resources/lastmiles/papers/11.html )

This is the culture of death, folks. Ironic that Wright berates the US for not respecting life, when he himself is promoting this stuff. And this has been Barack Obama's church home for two decades."

Could the vile hate speech emanating from Obama's pastor be the natural outcome of a heart filled with darkness?

YESENIA & JO SCOTT

YESENIA'S AMAZING DAY!!

When Yesenia rode to her appointment with death, at Denver's Planned Parenthood killing place today, she never knew she'd be approached by Jo Scott.

Jo spoke to her for 30 minutes about the humanity and dignity
of her baby and how God didn't want her to kill. Yesenia went
into the clinic but 30 minutes later she came out in tears.

I watched her collapse into Jo's loving arms and sob with the
realization of what she almost did.

She shared her ultrasound photos with us:




As you can see she will be having twins next fall. She decided for LIFE!! And we Praise God for all who were there today being voices for the voiceless.

Many Denver women killed today, but Yesenia will someday stand before the Lord and thank him for the double blessing He sent her.

The Silver Dollars are gifts from Jo to the women who keep their babies. As a precious metal they are symbols of how precious the moms and babies are in God's sight!

TIME TO FIND ANOTHER BANK!

I'm about to print this disturbing article to take
to my Denver Wachovia bank for what it's worth.

I banked for years with a Colorado entity called World Bank. Wachovia recently took them over and I had heard about their support for evil Planned Parenthood.

Thanks to Life Decisions International for keeping pro-life citizens apprised of who
and who not to do business with!


Bank of America, Wachovia Accused of Denying Gifts to Abortion Business

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A pro-life organization that monitors corporations that provide contributions to Planned Parenthood says Bank of America and Wachovia need to come clean about donations the companies have made to the nation's largest abortion business. Both corporations appear on Life Decisions International's boycott list.

LDI president Douglas Scott tells LifeNews.com that "Bank of America continues to play word games in an attempt to mislead consumers" and "Wachovia is not any better."

Boulder says no to pink poodle

Cici is naturally white, but her owner, Joy Douglas, dyes her to raise awareness of breast cancer. Some who saw Cici complained to the Humane Society, and Douglas got a ticket. (Special to The Denver Post )


"Even in Boulder, there are some things that just aren't cool.
Like coloring your poodle pink with beet juice to raise awareness of breast cancer.
Joy Douglas, owner of Zing Hair Salon at 1100 Spruce St., has received a $1,000 ticket from an animal-control officer for coloring her white poodle, Cici, pink by using organic beet juice.
"We do it to promote awareness of breast cancer," said Douglas, 30, who has owned the large hair salon for three years. "Cici is a conversation piece. Customers come in and ask why the dog is pink. So we tell them about breast-cancer awareness, about the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, and then we ask for a donation." ( continued . . .)

Now I have my problems with the Susan G Komen Foundation giving $$ to Planned Parenthood but come on, how is having a pink poodle hurting anyone?

I posted the following comments on the Denver Post comment area following the story.

Is Boulder kidding? While the vile, late-term baby killer, abortionist, Hern
does his dirty work, Boulder is worried about whether a poodle is too pink?

Woe to those who call good evil and evil good!

THANK YOU CREATIVE MINORITY! MAD WORLD

Jill Stanek put this phenomenal Youtube

May the Good Lord use this for our

This Miami Herald story teaches us the true meaning of love!!

Oh that Governor Jeb Bush had had a spine, Terri's family

Mom who cared for comatose daughter for 38 years dies

BY TERE FIGUERAS NEGRETE

She never broke her promise.
Kaye O'Bara, who pledged to never leave her then-teenage daughter's side as the girl slipped into a diabetic coma 38 years ago, died at her Miami Gardens home this week -- in the same room she shared with her child, Edwarda, since 1970.

O'Bara, 80, died in her sleep. She had suffered for years from a cardiac illness that dated back to a heart attack in the early 1980s, said her niece Pamela Burdgick.

''We thought she'd outlive us all. The woman was so strong,'' Burdgick said.

The story of O'Bara's steadfast devotion to her child, and her belief that Edwarda's life was not a burden but a blessing, inspired countless visitors who passed by the small one-story O'Bara home over the decades. Well-wishers traveled from as far away as Japan to take part in the annual celebration of Edwarda's birthday -- as did fellow Catholics and others who believed Kaye O'Bara had seen apparitions of the Virgin Mary and sought to pray at the bedside of her sleeping daughter.

Her story also inspired bestselling author Dr. Wayne Dyer to write the book ``A Promise Is A Promise: An Almost Unbelievable Story of a Mother's UnconditionalLove and What It Can Teach Us.''

HOW MANY BABIES FACE A WATERY GRAVE?

Colorado's focus on a 4-6 month prematurely delivered
baby boy, recently found in the sewers, raises an interesting
question. Just what exactly do abortionists do with the
pre-born babies they kill at a rate of nearly 4,000 every
day?

Years ago, the Mayfair Clinic was accused of putting them
in garbage disposals.

Former abortion providers, Carol Everett and Kathy Sparks
indicate putting babies in garbage disposals and flushing them into the sewers is/was rather routine.

The Mayfair Clinic, sadly graduated from this heinous practice to one which maximized their profit.

Yes folks, these tiny ones, made in God's image bring in big bucks when their dissected body parts
are sold.


So the question lingers.

Why all the fuss about a baby being found in Denver's waste water treatment facility,
when this is a routine practice by abortionists around the nation??

FETAL FOLLOW UP

Fetus found at wasterwater plant, police have suspect
The Associated Press
Article Last Updated: 03/03/2008 11:48:26 PM MST

COMMERCE CITY, Colo.—Police have a suspect in a case of a fetus found at a wastewater treatment plant that was likely flushed down a toilet.

Police did not say how they focused on a suspect after the fetus was found Sunday morning at the Metro Wastewater Reclamation plant, which treats 140-million gallons of water a day from a 300-square-mile area.
Commerce City police officer, Lanissa Blevens told Denver station KDVR-TV that based on size, the fetus was in the second trimester of gestation, somewhere between 4 to 6 months.

Blevens said the suspect could face charges of abuse of corpse, to possible concealment of death.

Minnesota plan: Clone embryos and kill them!
State House also would force taxpayers to fund program


WorldNetDaily

Rep. Phyllis Kahn, DFL-Minneapolis

Lawmakers in Minnesota have given their endorsement to a University of Minnesota plan to clone human embryos for "research," force taxpayers to pay for it, and then kill those embryos when the "research" work is finished.

The preliminary approval came on a recent 68-62 vote in which representatives rejected an amendment would be a true ban on cloning, and the "Kahn Cloning Bill, S.F. 100" could be brought up for a further vote at any time, opponents said.

The amendment provided language that would have promoted ethical adult stem cell research with a true ban on cloning human embryos, but that was rejected in favor of S.F. 100, sponsored by Rep. Phyllis Kahn, DFL-Minneapolis.

That plan has been described by supporters as a cloning ban, but it only bans "cloning" that results in a human being, not cloning that results in living human embryos.

"House members … had a chance to do the right thing and protect vulnerable human life, but instead they chose to treat human life as mere raw material for experimentation," said Andrea Rau, a legislative associate with the Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life. "Citizens are outraged to see their taxes being spent on such unjust treatment of human life."

At the center of the issue are the lives of the unborn embryos. WND had reported just a day earlier on GOP presidential race also-ran Gov. Mike Huckabee had endorsed Colorado's "personhood" plan.

MEDICAL JOURNAL: FEDERAL AGENCIES, ACADEMICIANS SUPPRESS EVIDENCE OF BREAST CANCER RISK FACTORS

"Both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a component of the NIH, have violated their mission statements....There is evidence of widespread fraud in connection with NIH-funded research....More alarmingly, NIH proved to be a corrupting influence (on scientists)...." -Angela Lanfranchi, MD, Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons

An article in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons on Saturday accused federal agencies and academicians of being impediments to women's rights to direct their healthcare. [1] The author, Angela Lanfranchi, MD, clinical assistant professor of surgery at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical Center, provided shocking examples to show they have suppressed information concerning the breast cancer risks of oral contraceptives and abortion.

Lanfranchi's examples include:

1) A study in the journal Nature documenting fraud among NIH grantees; [2]

2) Contradictory statements on the NCI's website about oral contraceptives as a cancer risk;

3) "Blatantly incorrect information" on the NCI's website saying that estrogen levels decrease during pregnancy, perhaps to avoid explaining why early first full term pregnancy reduces risk, but premature birth before 32 weeks and abortion raise risk;

4) Failure to admit during its 2003 workshop [3] that the premature birth-breast cancer link is explained by the same hormonal changes that account for an abortion-breast cancer (ABC) link;

5) An NCI workshop leader who told CancerPage.com that she didn't want the ABC link to be included in the discussion of abortion's legality;

6) NCI directors who misled a reporter and a New Jersey State Senator;

7) A medical text that omits early full-term pregnancy as a means of prevention because having more than two children per woman is bad for the ecology; and

8) Breast cancer groups with political influence whose leaders have a conflict of interest through because of strong connections to the abortion industry.

"It's time to stop this con job and tell women the truth about these risk factors for breast cancer," demanded Karen Malec, president of the Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer.

The Coalition on Abortion/Breast Cancer is an international women's organization founded to protect the health and save the lives of women by educating and providing information on abortion as a risk factor for breast cancer.

FOISTING FORNICATION ON FAMILIES:
More Planed Parenthood Depravity

Free condoms in businesses part of new Planned Parenthood marketing campaign
By Cari Merrill
CariMerrill@coloradoan.com

Local bars participating in a Planned Parenthood marketing campaign by allowing safe sex literature and condoms to circulate around their establishments said they’re doing their part to promote safe sex.

But one restaurant and bar manager was “shocked” when she found out that material was distributed in her bar without prior approval. And some of the target audience questions the campaign’s effectiveness.

Coasters and business cards with safe sex tips and Planned Parenthood resources as well as free condoms circulated around the Old Town Old Chicago bar the night of Jan. 25. Manager Joanna Hennessy learned about that night on Monday morning and was upset that it wasn’t approved first.

“That is not something we do. I would have heard about it,” she said Monday morning.

Hennessy approves of the Planned Parenthood organization but doesn’t think its materials belong in a place of business. “It’s kind of disconcerting. We’re an eating and pizza establishment. We don’t want to bombard our guests when they’re out enjoying their dinners.”

The information and condoms are part of a relatively new marketing campaign by Planned Parenthood, said Katie Groke Ellis, public affairs coordinator for Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains. Volunteers travel to different bars and disseminate the information with business’ approval.

Old Chicago was not on the list of places to hand out information Jan. 25 but Groke Ellis said volunteers stopped in for dinner, a bartender was interested in the information and it was passed around the bar. Groke Ellis has heard no complaints from the restaurant, but Hennessy said Monday morning was the first she had heard about the distribution.

Human fetus found at sewage plant

COMMERCE CITY - Police say what appears to be a human fetus was found at the Metro Waste Reclamation District Sunday morning.

Workers found the fetus in a device used to filter sewage around 9:30 a.m.

Commerce City Police say they believe they know who was responsible for putting the fetus at the facility. Police officers reached Monday could not give any information about the suspect because the investigation is ongoing.

The fetus has been turned over to the Adams County Coroner's Office.

If the fetus is determined to not have been viable, meaning it never drew air, police say potential charges could be abuse of a corpse or concealment of death. If the fetus did draw air, the charges could be more serious.



This 9News Denver story is a classic example of the ongoing effort to dehumanize the pre-born, in
my opinion.

How hard would it be to call this poor tiny one found in the sewer what he or she clearly was -
a baby whose mother thought so little of him or her that she threw the baby in with the city's effluent.

Tragic loss and tragic that the news is so stuck in their denial of the humanity and dignity of innocent,
pre-born human life.

Once in Coma, Girl May Testify Against Alleged Attacker
Doctors Said Haleigh Poutre Would Never Recover; Two Years Later, She May Testify in Court

By SCOTT MICHELS
March 3, 2008 —

More than two years after Haleigh Poutre was so brutally beaten she was left in a coma from which she was never expected to revive, the 14-year-old girl may be well enough to testify against the man accused of abusing her.

Haleigh, who was once thought to be so irreversibly brain damaged that doctors planned to remove her from life support, has spent the last two years recovering at the Franciscan Hospital for Children near Boston.

She began breathing on her own and showing other signs of brain activity in January 2006, just days before doctors planned to remove her ventilator.

Now, she is reportedly able to communicate and recall her alleged attack.

Her recovery may set up a dramatic confrontation if she takes the witness stand and testifies against her stepfather, Jason Strickland, who is accused of beating her into a coma in September 2005.

It was Strickland who fought to keep Haleigh alive in late 2005 when the Massachusetts Department of Social Services sought to remove her from life support.

"It's nothing short of phenomenal to have someone who is essentially given up for dead survive this and come out of a coma and be able to articulate what happened to her," said Tim Burke, a former prosecutor and longtime criminal defense lawyer in Boston.

According to court documents filed by Strickland's defense attorney, Haleigh has made abuse allegations against her stepfather. Court papers asking to postpone Strickland's trial say his attorney, Alan Black, has received new child abuse reports from the district attorney's office.

"It appears from [the report] that the victim is now making statements alleging abuse by the defendant," the papers say.

"This creates issues concerning competency and her ability to testify and recall events in light of her severe head trauma," say the court papers, which were first reported last week by the Boston Globe and the Springfield Republican.

The prospect of seeing Haleigh on the witness stand disturbs her biological mother, who gave up custody of her daughter when the girl was 4 and who has been barred from visiting her by the Department of Social Services.

"I'm worried about her emotional state," Allison Avrett, who now says she regrets relinquishing custody, told ABC News. "I don't think she should have to relive this."

Among all the relatives and doctors who have moved in and out of Haleigh's short life, it appears that Strickland may in fact deserve the most credit for keeping her alive.

Haleigh was brought to the hospital Sept. 11, 2005, by Strickland and Haleigh's aunt, who was also her adopted mother. Haleigh, then 11, was comatose and covered in bruises, court records say; her body temperature had dropped to 85 degrees.

The Massachusetts DSS was given custody of the girl and in October 2005 sought to remove her from life support.
