The Wild Goose Case

Worshiped the Creature rather than the Creator ~
George Brown, an attorney from Aurora with Animals Vote, is leading the effort to take the issue to voters in November.
"I'm with a nationwide organization that believes legislation is the only way we can achieve some sort of humane way of dealing with the overpopulation of homeless pets," Brown said.
The No-Kill Pet Animal Act is being drafted, but would only appear on the November ballot if the signatures of enough registered voters are gathered to meet state requirements."

Medical Arrogance & Jahi's Reprieve ~
"Children’s Hospital Oakland has a very good reputation where I live in the Bay Area. But its public communication around the tragedy of Jahi McMath’s ”brain death” has been astoundingly insensitive, bordering on arrogant."
"The ruling comes a day after the girl’s relatives met with hospital officials and said the meeting did not go well. They said a doctor had told them that Jahi is “dead, dead, dead, dead” and that further medical care was no longer needed."
"The way in which hospital spokespersons discussed Jahi’s tragedy publicly also illuminates the arrogance among the technocratic class, who too often lose the forest for the trees when considering how public health policies they advocate impact real families."
This important article by Wesley Smith about Jahi McMath is one we all should read and contemplate, regarding the growing medical arrogance and callous disregard of patients in the era of Obamacare.

In my opinion, this kind of mistreatment of a patient and her loved ones is unconscionable and should have had people in the streets decrying the above insensitive remarks & mis-treatment of this vulnerable family.
Sadly, with Jahi's crisis happening during the holidays, public awareness of her plight hasn't been what it should have been.
As these photos show, the media was out in force but no protestors were in sight to question the "experts" and suggest that Children's Hospital treat the family with some dignity and respect.
Kudos to Wesley Smith for calling them out on their heartless public relations skills.
Praise God a judge has intervened and given Jahi a reprieve until January 7, 2014.
Please pray for a smooth and speedy transition to a facility that honors life and religious beliefs.

"Life Unworthy of Life"
"TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 19 /Christian Newswire/ -- Yesterday on This Week, George Stephanopoulos, in an interview with Senator Fred Thompson, commented that Terri Schiavo's autopsy proved she was "brain dead." The New York Times also reported on this interview, repeating that the autopsy proved Terri was "brain dead."
As this New Yorker article explains, even when every family member is strongly
in favor of organ donation, it's still fraught with ambiguity.

Former Colorado Governor Lamm's Legacy??
Although Colorado is often credited for passing America's first abortion law, it was actually Mississippi ~ as States of Refuge reminds us.
Yet, Colorado's former Governor, Dick Lamm, is responsible for America's abortion holocaust, in so many ways. According to Wikipedia:

Shocking ~ the mocking & blocking of truth in Jackson, MS
And they make haste to shed innocent blood;
Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
Wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of peace they have not known,
And there is no justice in their ways;
They have made themselves crooked paths;
Whoever takes that way shall not know peace."

Will The Church Repent?
But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” (Matt. 22:34-40, ESV)

It's Not All About You !
The pro-euthanasia organization's founder, Derek Humphrey, explains how the organization got its start in an article which discusses why they changed the name to the more soothing sounding
"Compassion and Choices."
"Born in 1980 in my garage in Santa Monica, California, Hemlock went on to be the largest and oldest right-to-die organization in America fighting for voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide to be made legal for terminally and hopelessly ill adults. (There were larger organizations but they had what might be called a “passive euthanasia” agenda.)"
The wealthy Hemlock Foundation (worth some $2-3 million) has also modified its name. In a Articles of Amendment filing to the Colorado Secretary of State on 10/29//2004, the Hemlock Foundation for End-of-Choices changed its name to a new entity (surprise!) “Compassion and Choices”. Life memberships were grandfathered. Mission statements? Quietly forgotten. Presumably now there is no existing organization with the name “Hemlock”?
Mr. Humphrey has had a longstanding fascination with advocating for people to be able to "choose" their end of life and has created Finalexit.org and numerous others which promote euthanasia.
I was so disturbed by the presumably "Christian" Salem Radio Network's pro-death advocacy that I just had to call in.
Yours truly has had a longstanding interest in the death peddler movement for so long that I have an institutional memory about the movement's sordid history ~ much of it centered in Denver.
Crazy as it seems, the state that launched legalized child killing in the U.S. also spent decades and untold sums of money pushing death on the other end of the spectrum. As a matter of fact
that death obsession has had a dynamic duo at the helm for all these years ~ yes, you guessed it, "Duty to Die" Dick Lamm and his wife Dottie.
Dick Lamm carried America's first legalized abortion law, passed in Colorado in 1967 and went
on to create a Governor's on Life and the Law, primarily to facilitate more death advocacy.
Not surprisingly, The Denver Post gave the "Duty to Die Team" free reign for decades.
That freedom doesn't seem like it should extend to Christian radio, so The Passionate Prolifer
took on the two docs from "Compassion and Choices" and Peter Boyles.
I first mentioned that Derek Humphrey had a wife who wasn't all that thrilled with his death obsession ~ Second wife, Ann, who suffered breast cancer wrote ~
"Derek:
"There. You got what you wanted. Ever since I was diagnosed as having cancer, you have done everything conceivable to precipitate my death.
"I was not alone in recognizing what you were doing. What you did--desertion and abandonment and subsequent harrassment (sic) of a dying woman--is so unspeakable there are no words to describe the horror of it.
"Yet you know. And others know too. You will have to live with this untiol (sic) you die.
"May you never, ever forget.
"Ann"
Peter countered with an accusation that there will always be abuses but that I was picking just one example ~ Derek Humphrey is the head of the pro- Euthanasia movement in America, for crying out loud !
Next I brought up Michael Schiavo and his starvation & dehydration murder of his disabled wife, Terri in Florida. Who can forget how Michael found Terri to be inconvenient when he fathered two children with another woman he lived with?
Again, Peter claimed I was bringing up a RARE case of abuse.
How anyone can miss the potential for relatives of the vulnerable and disabled to hasten their demise in order to get their inheritance really baffles me.
As Wesley Smith reminds us in his important article "Boomers Too 'Special' To Die Naturally"
"Oh good grief. We Baby Boomers are such a pain. It’s always about us: Me. Me. Me.
And now, according to Time, we are supposedly going to change “how we die.” From, “A Good Death: How Boomers Will Change the World a Final Time.”
For eons, folks grew old, endured the symptoms, and died when it was their time—according to God’s will, some would say, even if it involved fighting through lingering illness, pain and suffering, or years of mental or physical incapacitation. A “good” death was about having lived long enough to see grandchildren, put one’s affairs in order, and pass away surrounded by a loving family."
And so lest we forget God's enduring command, "Thou shall not murder", I continue to rage against the death machine from fertilization through natural death. This clip reveals how even
so called "Christian" radio is promoting assisted suicide. My call is at 32:00.
Colorado has been ground zero for decades in the struggle to protect innocent life ~ how will it end ? Me, me, me ~ or as Mr. Smith presciently ponders, "Boomers are not a great generation. To the contrary, we did shamefully little considering how much we were given. Too busy patting ourselves on the back, perhaps, and breaking the china.
Frankly, I think we are going to leave quite a mess. And if we do open the spigots to assisted suicide, it will be to our everlasting shame."

End It, Don't Mend It ~
The Texas House of Representatives.
While the temps soared to the boiling point this month over the proposed restrictions on Texas females "right to kill," pre-born Texans remain as vulnerable as ever to the abortionists' long knives.
Get to the kill mill early enough and the little resident in utero can be sliced and diced and flushed away, before he or she is old enough to feel pain ~ so say the wise Texan Representatives.
Nary a thought about the oath they swore to uphold the constitution, it would seem.
While the low information voters can be expected to ignore the lofty principles America's founders gave their all for, one should expect more from those who campaign on protecting human rights, including Governor Rick Perry, who as a presidential candidate in 2012 told Rebecca Kiessling he was a champion of Personhood. All hat ~ no cattle.
Well, all y'all, your fetal pain law isn't progress.
America's Party presidential nominee, Tom Hoefling has proposed language which would actually curtail the shedding of innocent blood in the Lone Star State.
"Texas law already recognizes what is self-evident, that the child in the womb is an individual person:
Texas Penal Code, Title 1., Chapter 1., Sec. 1.07. — Texas Penal Code Title 5., Chapter 19., Sec. 19.02.
(26) “Individual” means a human being who is alive, including an unborn child at every stage of gestation from fertilization until birth.
(49) “Death” includes, for an individual who is an unborn child, the failure to be born alive.
And this:
TITLE 5. OFFENSES AGAINST THE PERSON
CHAPTER 19. CRIMINAL HOMICIDE
Sec. 19.02. MURDER.
(b) A person commits an offense if he:
(1) intentionally or knowingly causes the death of an individual;
(2) intends to cause serious bodily injury and commits an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual; or
(3) commits or attempts to commit a felony, other than manslaughter, and in the course of and in furtherance of the commission or attempt, or in immediate flight from the commission or attempt, he commits or attempts to commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that causes the death of an individual.
Sadly, when Rick Perry and the “pro-life” Republicans put that section in the Texas Code a decade ago, they also put in this:
Texas Penal Code, Title 5, Chapter 19, Sec. 19.06.
APPLICABILITY TO CERTAIN CONDUCT. This chapter does not apply to the death of an unborn child if the conduct charged is:
(1) conduct committed by the mother of the unborn child;
(2) a lawful medical procedure performed by a physician or other licensed health care provider with the requisite consent, if the death of the unborn child was the intended result of the procedure;
(3) a lawful medical procedure performed by a physician or other licensed health care provider with the requisite consent as part of an assisted reproduction as defined by Section 160.102, Family Code; or
(4) the dispensation of a drug in accordance with law or administration of a drug prescribed in accordance with law.
Added by Acts 2003, 78th Leg., ch. 822, Sec. 2.02, eff. Sept. 1, 2003.
So, all they have to do is strip out the latter portion, and voila, abortion is illegal everywhere in Texas.
Don’t be deceived. The current bill being considered makes this situation even worse. It walks all over the first section, which is good, by creating a sub-class of sub-humans, based on the arbitrary and unreasonable notion that they can’t feel pain.
Please, don’t offer support to lawless laws that codify permission to murder innocents. All it does is surrender the moral, constitutional and legal argument against abortion.
Which assures the continuation of abortion on demand.
We now have forty years of experience, and fifty five million dead children, to prove it."
T Russell Hunter, founder of AbolishHumanAbortion.com & Churchrepent.org has weighed in with his pithy impression of the PLM effort in Texas ~
"Do not confuse our opposition to the Fetal Pain Ideology as implying that we are somehow opposed to saving as many babies as we can everyday as we work toward the eventual goal of abolition.
To think that our opposition of the it's-okay-to-kill-your-baby-so-long-as-you-do-it-before-they have-been-alive-140-days Bill means that we aren't trying to save babies on a daily basis like Oscar Schindler or Corrie Ten Boom is unfounded and ridiculous.
The babies that have been saved over the past 40 years have not been saved by legislative regulations or incremental abortion bans. They have been saved by faithful counselors calling out to women at the "clinics," faithful family members and friends holding their loved ones back from the slaughter, and faithful warriors and debaters crying aloud in this culture of death in hopes of changing individual hearts and minds.
We work every day in many ways to save children from the jaws of death and our abolitionist ideology and strategy does not confine us to saving ALL or none. That is a ridiculous misunderstanding of our views.
PS: Oscar Schindler did not save Jews by passing bills that said most of them had to die so that some of them could be saved. The Boom family did not protect Jews by passing legislation that freed the Jews who would die painful deaths in the concentration camps but left the rest to be worked as slaves."
Rick Perry and the God-fearing people of the allegedly most free state in the union still have time to reverse the carnage wrought by Texas attorney, Sarah Weddington.
End the shedding of innocent blood for EVERY human being, at EVERY stage of development.
Stop crimes against humanity!
