Countering Keyes ?



To the movement -

Let me offer this reply to Alan Keyes' excellent exposition, in rebuttal.

I do affirm my love for you Alan, for your work, your years, your intellect,
and your towering oratory and defense of the unborn. I find it amusing that
a smaller person such as myself would ever be in a position to correct such
a great master. Yet, only Nixon could go to China; strange things happen.

I know that you will recieve it in the spirit of intellectual purity in which
it is offered, with malice towards none, and I look forward to your thoughts.

warm regards, Christian love,
Andrew

Dear beloved Alan, Janet,

First let me state how much I hold you both in high regard and personal Christian love. Second, let me reply to Alan, to Janet, and along with that reply speak to the Bob Enyart position, and my many friends among them. This letter is directed to you personally, but also to the movement, so I will use appellations.

I am an abolitionist. Keyes and Enyart rightly support the moral principle that any law which ends, “and then you can kill the baby” is trespassing “thou shalt not murder”. Keyes makes cogent moral argument for obedient Christian observance, and the Enyart position, that pro-lifers should not rest until complete abolition (from conception) is law, is also correct.

But yes, Janet Porter, you can add my name to the list of support for the heartbeat law.

Why? Intellectual dissonance? Moral confusion? Personal compromise? No.

Alan asks, “This law informs the governed that it is lawful and therefore permitted to murder human beings with no detectable heartbeat. Since America's founding principle is that we are all created equal, from what ground of principle do we derive the justification for this fatally invidious distinction?”

First, the law makes it illegal to murder human beings with a detectable heartbeat. It does not legalize whether human beings without a heartbeat may be killed – the federal law does that. The distinction is minor, but the legality of abortion is due to previous court precedent, not this law. This law does not end, “and then you can kill the baby.” Roe v. Wade and the SCOTUS ends that way, and we are all doing all we can to take power from that existing “law”. Yet this is not the thrust of my reply.

The crux of Keyes argument is that killing the baby under any circumstances is immoral, contrary to Godly principle, and therefore any law which allows it is also immoral and contrary to Godly principle. Further he argues that the existence of any such law which is less than righteous requirement of God corrupts the hearers, and a moral people advocating such a law are corrupted themselves, both morally and politically. It’s a great argument. I was persuaded by it for a long time. Studying the Holy Bible I have come to see it is slightly inaccurate.

Provoking Responses -- the latest crime



Mike Martin ~ Greeley, Colorado

The most recent attempt by Planned Parenthood to stop pro-life sidewalk counselor Jo Scott from saving babies isn't just another in a long series of of attacks on Jo Scott. It is also a spurious assault on the First Amendment..

In an April 4 trial, Scott was accused of "hindering access" and "harassing" a woman who was attempting to enter a "healthcare facility." The complaining witness was going into the Denver Planned Parenthood during the time abortions are performed and Jo approached her to offer an alternative.

The trial took several strange turns as prosecuting attorneys attempted to convince the jury that Scott touched her accuser while trying to convince her not to enter Planned Parenthood. The attorneys then produced a video of the episode that clearly showed their claims were unfounded. Defense testimony by Leslie Hanks and Leo Mantei, both of whom were eyewitnesses to the incident, confirmed what was obvious on the video. They also refuted the complainant's claim that Jo Scott called her names.

To Jo Scott being lied about and falsely accused is nothing new. But in this trial, prosecuting attorneys did something never before attempted in a courtroom this side of Moscow. Since the claims they were making about Jo Scott touching or calling the complainant names were obviously untrue, they focussed their closing argument on the contention that calling abortion murder is a distasteful affront and likely to "provoke a response." And that, they claim violates a Denver statute.

If the case against Jo Scott sticks, anyone carrying a sign that says, "abortion kills children" or displaying a poster showing the results of abortion could be accused of conveying a message likely to "provoke a response." Consequently, presenting the truth about abortion would essentially become illegal since any communication about the subject might "provoke a response."

Back in the good ol' days when lawmakers respected the First Amendment, if someone's words provoked a response, the response had better also be in words. If the responder resorted to violence, he was the one breaking the law. The implication of a law against using words that might provoke a response is that exercising free speech makes you somehow responsible for the other party's lack of self-control. Bad precedent. People are responsible for their own behavior, including how they react to free speech.

The abortion industry has long sought means to outlaw the efforts of anyone attempting to save babies -- to use the color of law to subdue their opposition. Of course, Jo Scott is their favorite target since, over the years, she has convinced at least 1000 mothers not to abort their babies. If the average fee for those abortions was $300, Jo has cost the abortion industry around $300,000. Small wonder she frequently finds herself falsely accused.

Has it occurred to the legislators who write such ridiculous laws that killing the unborn is distasteful and likely to provoke a response?

The jury will decide Jo's case April 5. Keep her in your prayers. While you're at it, keep our country in your prayers. God judges nations that sacrifice children. It provokes a response.

Heart Beat Bills or Personhood ??



This past week, a number of pro-life activists received a request from good friend Janet Folger to be signatories to a Heart Beat bill, which would ban abortion for babies with a detectable heartbeat. To say quite the firestorm has ignited, is an understatement. That said, some of the responses have been incredibly thoughtful and have added to the public discourse some excellent analysis about why many feel like the Heart Beat bill should not be supported.

I told Janet, who I revere greatly after spending many hours fighting for Terri by her side, that her bill would directly violate the Colorado RTL mission which states, "defending human life, from the beginning of biological development."

One of the most phenomenal replies the request inspired was by my presidential choice in 2008, Dr. Alan Keyes!

Enjoy . . .


Dear Janet:

Like others I cannot add my name to the list of those supporting this bill.

I understand why good hearted people might accept a perilous moral calculus that I also once accepted. I too made mistakes re matters like this in the past. But here is the gist of the points that convicted me of my error:

a) Christ said, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." The bill draws a line. On one side of the line are those whose unalienable right to life will be respected. On the other, are the less developed humans whose unalienable right to life will not be respected. In His mother's womb, Christ was in their same condition. Do His words therefore not apply to them?

b) Whether we acknowledge it or not, the law informs the moral sensibility of those it governs. This law informs the governed that it is lawful and therefore permitted to murder human beings with no detectable heartbeat. Since America's founding principle is that we are all created equal, from what ground of principle do we derive the justification for this fatally invidious distinction? But if we acknowledge that the principle is violated, then the bill achieves the stated objective (saving some lives) by surrendering the principle that requires respect for life. But that surrender of principle corrupts the understanding of right and wrong of those subject to the law. On account of this misunderstanding they are more likely to do that which God abhors. Thus the bill literally poses an obstacle to their salvation, but also to the salvation of all those who knowingly join in supporting the act that misinforms them. It is scandalous, in the literal sense of the term.

c) Given this spiritual harm, you inaccurately portray the objective the bill aims to achieve. The bill saves the physical lives of some people, but it risks the lives (in the truer, spiritual sense of the term) of all those subject to and responsible for it. If we support this act are we not like those the Apostle speaks of (Romans 3:8) who "(as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say), 'Let us do evil, that good may come?' whose damnation is just.'"

d) By the same token, the bill risks the moral and political life of the American people. The principle that all human beings are created equal is the bedrock foundation of the idea of right on which the preservation of that life depends. Unless the pro-life movement defends and preserves that principle the whole basis of its activity in politics is called into question. Our opponents will then claim, with some semblance of justice, that we seek to use the law to impose a strictly sectarian discipline.

Of course, child sacrifice is forbidden under the law in the United States. That prohibition reflects the explicit premise of justice from which the government and laws of the United States derive their claim to legitimacy. That premise asserts that the Creator endows every human being with a right to life that is inseparable from their claim to humanity (unalienable). Except we deny the humanity of the child once conceived, we cannot deny his or her unalienable right to life.

e) The Constitution of the United States requires that a republican form of government be guaranteed in each and every State of the Union. Is that guarantee respected if and when the states are allowed to abandon the republican form of government in principle, through the passage of laws that contradict its fundamental premise? Yet the Ohio law you advocate does just that with respect to the human offspring it relegates to the heartless status of those who may lawfully be aborted. In principle, how does this differ from a law that would permit the enslavement of people whose brain activity falls below a certain level of intelligence? Or the murder of those like Terry Schiavo, whose helpless condition demands constant care? Yet as we all know and have argued, once such murder is permitted, have we not in principle drawn a line that sanctions the murder of helpless infants after birth? Have we not joined Obama and those like him who observe no distinction between abortion and infanticide?

The problem with the sacrifice of principle is that it discards the measure wherewith we measure. The word principle refers, etymologically and conceptually, to that which comes first. In both the Christian faith and the American creed, the first premise of human existence is the Creator of heaven and earth and all of us. So the abandonment of principle refers in the end to the abandonment of our acknowledgment of the existence and authority (authorship) of God. To procure that abandonment is the whole point of the evil that besets us. If we were to reduce the number of abortions in America to just one human offspring, offered each year in defiance of God's will and authority, that point would be made. The true life of our people will be lost. But what do we say of the perfect, God affirming sacrifice of Christ if, by word or action, we participate and lend credence to the sacrifice that denies what He died to prove?

Mammos & Mammon


Oxford defines: god of wealth, regarded as evil or immoral; 'those who worship mammon' are equivalent to greedy people who value money too highly.[1] Webster's dictionary defines "Mammon" or "Mann" as: 1) the false god of riches and avarice. 2) riches regarded as an object of worship and greedy pursuit; wealth as an evil, more or less personified.[2]

By now Cecile Richards should be facing charges of fraud and worse for the crimes the organization she runs has been caught perpetrating. In the real world, that would be the normal course of action but this is Planned Parenthood ~ so don't hold your breath. In fact, dig deep because it's even doubtful that the spineless in Congress will stop giving your tax dollars to this evil bunch.

As the Washington Times explains, "The pro-lifers at Live Action struck again when they posted tapes Wednesday showing that Planned Parenthood’s claims of offering mammograms are false.

A series of undercover phone calls contacting 30 Planned Parenthood clinics in 27 states revealed that the organization does not offer mammograms, contrary to claims made on national TV by Cecile Richards, the group’s CEO.

Ms. Richards had spoken on CNN’s Joy Behar Show in February, and argued that if federal funding was removed from Planned Parenthood, it would lose its ability to provide healthcare services such as mammograms.

“If this bill ever becomes law, millions of women in this country are going to lose their health care access, not to abortion services, to basic family planning — you know, mammograms,” said Ms. Richards."

Once again, the amazing Lila Rose and her Live Action team have peeled the shiny veneer off the ugly org and revealed the evil inside with this video.



You can't make this stuff up!!

Remarkable Easter events ~ redux


The Elian Gonzalez saga 10 years later: Exiles' miracle boy missed, ever-present

By CARLOS FRIAS
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Updated: 9:15 p.m. Saturday, April 17, 2010
Posted: 2:57 p.m. Saturday, April 17, 2010

Thousands of white blooms on Delfin Gonzalez's avocado tree are starting to become fruit, and that means he'll soon have a new reason to visit his neighbors.

They all know him, and not just because he's lived on this Little Havana block for nearly 10 years, handing out avocados. Gonzalez is famous here because of a woman he never met, but who changed his destiny and unforgettably altered the lives of the residents of Northwest Second Street.

People may have forgotten her name — Elizabeth Brotons — but no one here will ever forget her son: Elian Gonzalez.

It was 10 years ago this week that the world watched U.S. Border Patrol agents storm the Gonzalez home on this humble block and seize the 6-year-old refugee boy at gunpoint.

Elian, subject of an epic tug of war between Havana and the boy's Miami relatives, was snatched from inside a closet in the wee hours of April 22 and delivered to his father, who waited with Castro government escorts in Maryland. Two months later, after a family battle in the court, the boy's father took him back to Cuba.

Elian was the boy whose story hit Miami with the force of a Category 5 hurricane, the boy whose mother died at sea when their boat sank in their escape from Cuba. Adrift alone, the boy clung to an inner tube for two days before he was rescued by fisherman. He came to live with his closest living relatives, the Gonzalezes of Northwest Second Street.

More . . .


Pray that the trauma of Elian's horrendous kidnapping and return to Cuba's communist nightmare will be erased by our merciful and gracious Lord and that he never forgets his mother's sacrifice so that he might be free. May the Castro brainwashing machine's grip on Elian's life be broken and good brought from what our evil government did to thwart his mother's wishes and put him back in bondage.

CO Fetal Homicide measure ~ What fellowship hath light with darkness ?


"Lawmakers say a single sentence and a campaign of "misinformation and disinformation" helped doom a bipartisan bill that would have made it a crime to kill a fetus.
The provision in question says nothing in the bill "shall be construed to confer the status of 'person' upon a human embryo, fetus or unborn child at any state of development prior to live birth."


More . . .

Representative Waller's good intentions to provide a legislative remedy for fetal homicide victims, notwithstanding, the legislative effort this session demonstrates how good intentions can easily go awry.

His decision to partner with state senator, Pat Steadman, former business partner of Planned Parenthood lobbyist, Fofi Mendez, likely led to the 16 page measure, which it apparently took, to further entrench abortion in Colorado.

Colorado Right to Life had suggested language to Representative Waller, on two different occasions, which wouldn't have been morally compromised as our latest letter explained, "Rep. Mark Waller's 16-page Act Concerning Crimes Against an Unborn Child, Is Itself a Crime Against Every Unborn Child in Colorado"

Colorado Right To Life proposes a one-sentence legislative solution to Colorado's need to punish criminals, other than abortionists, who injure or kill an unborn child, for example, from a drunk-driving crash. Working with a county prosecutor, CRTL has suggested this wording to Rep. Mark Waller and other state legislators:

CRTL's Single-Sentence Solution: The offenses codified in Part 1, Article 3 of Title 18 of the Colorado Criminal Code shall apply also to unborn members of the species homo sapiens at any stage of development."

Senator Steadman made this ridiculous claim, "But Steadman said the anti-choice side was unwilling to view the legislation as a criminal-justice issue."

We responded to this absurd assertion by sending Denver Post's Lynn Bartles this explanation, "We re-sent [Representative Waller] the language again this morning, stating that we're sad he pulled the bill but that we'd like to see him carry a measure this year with the above language, precisely because we feel so very strongly that the Gorham baby's tragic and unfortunate death demands justice."

The abortion industry's lies and rhetoric twisting the truth of the effort to provide a legal remedy for pre-born babies, victims of drunk drivers or worse, shouldn't surprise anyone.

But that the bill's sponsor didn't anticipate that partnering with an unscrupulous, racist organization ~ recently and repeatedly caught covering up criminal sexual assault of minors might not create a positive result, really is shocking.

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" 2nd Corinthians 6:14-15

Cut the head off the snake!


The events of the recent past few weeks in relation to Planned Parenthood are enough to make heads spin!

They have been stung by Live Action so many times covering up crimes that OF COURSE congress should defund them and hold congressional hearings about the criminal enterprise.

So, it was somewhat thrilling to see the House of Representatives vote to yank the purse strings, yet the
Senate is loathe to do the same to this point.

While the move to defund is a step in the right direction, this is a Teachable Moment for the nation. American Right to Life is concerned that in the effort to slay the dragon, some are being left behind.

American RTL has another educational piece about regulating abortion that teaches ~ Don't Prune the Abortion Weed: "Child killing regulations just prune the abortion weed, and strengthen its root," says Jason Troyer of Colorado RTL. So like pruning your favorite bush to make it grow strong, if you want to make abortion a permanent part of society, then regulate the procedure and it will look more reasonable and humane.

And so it is important to remember because it is imperative to end child killing immediately, we want every child legally protected.

Please ask Representative Pence to leave no child behind. Defund evil Planned Parenthood now ~ NO EXCEPTIONS!

Rawandan Grammy survives starvation ordeal ~ UPDATE!!


As world events swirl around us ranging from catastrophic earthquakes in Japan to the Middle East turmoil ~ days of rage ~
to rage in Wisconsin's Capitol, on a more quiet front, evil sneaks more subtly into every day affairs.

An innocent baby boy, in Canada has drawn international attention to the terrible dangers of socialized medicine. Baby
Joseph, suffers a neurological disorder, which previously stole his older sister's life. His family wants to take
him home to likely die but the hospital ~ intent several weeks back to remove his ventilator to hasten his demise ~ refuses to do a tracheotomy to facilitate his home care. Bobby Schindler, Father Pavone and others have done heroic work to save him from the hard hearted court ordered decision and it appears that a resolution may have been reached.

Meanwhile here in the good old US of A, a Rawandan grandmother is being starved and dehydrated after a Jesuit hospital decided it was costing too much to keep her alive.

Several Terri warriors from the most cruel court ordered starvation murder in American history, are still engaged in helping other families avoid similar fates.

Lifesitenews brings us another grim story of the death panel style decisions from courts which will become ever more commonplace should Obamacare actually be implemented.

Rachel's life is literally hanging in the balance as an emergency injunction is being sought to rehydrate her and reinsert
her feeding tube.

She sought a City on a Hill, as she escaped Rawanda's horrific genocide and now that shining city is starving her?

I'm so ashamed of my nation as every God fearing person should be.

Are we made in God's image or are we animals to be put down, like dogs when we become a "burden"?

Of course Americans would be in jail if they starved a pet to death ~ God help us!!

I am so thrilled to report that Rachel's son Jerome just wrote to say her feeding tube has been put back in until the next hearing which may be postponed from Monday until next Wednesday or Friday. Hallelujah !!!

Please pray that the reinsertion of the tube will spare her life after all these days of torture!

Pro Life "platitudes" & Priceless People

After decades of hearing National Right to Life claim that legislation needed to have "exceptions" for rape, incest and life of the mother, great progress was made in the recent past in dispelling the lie.

Colorado Right to Life has been blessed to have had several superb speakers who were conceived in rape and who are very, very pleased their mom's chose life.



We invited Julie Makimaa to speak at our March for Life after hearing her challenge NRTL, stating that she objected to their "exceptions," and that she was very happy to be alive, thank you very much! She and her beautiful mother, Lee Ezell found one another and their beautiful story is told by Lee here.

A few years later we were blessed by Sherri Williams who shared her amazing story of courage at our annual fall banquet. Sherri also helped Colorado launch their Amendment 62 campaign to legally protect every baby in the womb from the beginning of the little boy or girls biological development.

In 2010, prolife lawyer and spokeswoman, Rebecca Kiessling, addressed our March for Life and educated our attendees about the infinite value of every life, regardless of the circumstances of conception.

So it was with great disappointment that we learned this past week about Planned Parenthood defector, Abby Johnson's advice to Texas that prolifer's shouldn't get in a "tizzy" that their ultrasound bill had rape & incest exceptions.

Many have seen the flurry of back and forth on Facebook between those who know that in God's sight there are no "exceptions"
and those who claim that attempts to educate with scripture that abortion is always wrong, are taking words "out of context".

This incredible claim was made by Life Training Institute in this dismissive article titled, "When Spiritual Platitudes Replace
Good Arguments.
"

The claim made by LTI and others that Abby's remarks were taken out of context can be clearly disputed by watching the uncut version posted by Juda Meyers, who was at the Texas event and was herself conceived in rape. Juda has an organization Choices4Life where you can learn of many precious lives
conceived in rape through which God was and is glorified.

Finally, although the last word has likely not been written on this hot topic, Rebecca Kiessling's brilliant reply to LTI can
be read here and is a superb treatise for the prolife movement on the need for Personhood and the imperative to see the ugly abortion industry destroyed in our lifetimes.



"Hello Scott, thank you for bringing up these very important issues. Many in the pro-life movement will insist that we remain silent on things that matter to us in order to have “unity.” But the reality is that there is not unity within the pro-life movement on every issue and on strategy. We may say we want unity, but really, we’d like everyone else to either agree with us, or keep it to themselves. I think it’s beneficial for all to have logical discussions on issues involving strategy, and hopefully through these discussions we’ll at least gain more understanding."

America's first abortion law ~ passed in Colorado in 1967 ~ was only for rape, incest and life of the mother. Talk about
40 Years in the Wilderness!

Maddow’s Rhetoric is Over the Top and Her Lies are Below The Belt




By Jo Scott

Rachel Maddow, a self proclaimed lesbian, hosts a nightly news ( I use the word news loosely) magazine program on MSNBC called The Rachel Maddow Show. Not surprisingly, her program has become a bully pulpit for her misguided pro abortion ideology.

Maddow’s February 21st program featured Duvergne Gaines, the legal coordinator for the Feminist Majority Foundation. Gaines lied about both Pastor Mark Holick of Spirit One Christian Center and Pastor Flip Benham, director of Operation Save America during the interview, although she did not name either man or Operation Save America on the program. Ms. Gaines had this to say when Maddow asked her to describe the levels of intimidation that abortion providers are getting.

“We see everything from ..…calling for large events that call for out of state anti abortion extremists. Where mobs are outside of these facilities where they interfere with clinic entrances, exits, blocking traffic…”

Once a year Operation Save America (OSA) organizes a national event in one city and pro lifers from all over the country meet in that city to proclaim the gospel and cry out for the lives of unborn children at the abortion mills in that city and surrounding cities. It is a time of hard work, good preaching and needed fellowship. OSA held its national event in North Carolina in July of 2010. Ms. Gaines covered that event for the Feminist Majority Foundation.



She is seen here talking to Mark Holick, one of the men on Maddow’s hit list, outside of the Hebron abortion mill. Ms. Gaines seems to be pleasantly involved in conversation with Pastor Mark ~ a far cry from the picture she painted on the Maddow show. Notice the extremist mob that is NOT surrounding them and NOT blocking traffic or the driveway of the abortion clinic.

Without naming either of the men, Maddow again targeted Flip Benham, and Pastor Holick on her February 14th program. Both men unashamedly proclaim the name of Christ in the public square and both are on the frontlines of the battle for the lives of the unborn. She reports that in North Carolina “wanted posters” for abortionists were distributed but she neglects to tell her viewers that the posters said “Wanted by Jesus”. The poster’s purpose was to encourage Christians to introduce the abortion doctors of North Carolina to the gospel of Jesus. These facts were left out of Ms. Maddow’s commentary.

Mark Holick, pastor of Spirit One Christian Ministry is also slandered in the February 14th airing of the Maddow Show. He is accused of harassment, intimidation and the implicit use of force. She bemoans the fact that Pastor Holick calls late term abortionist Mila Means a horrific murderer. One might ask Ms. Maddow, when an abortionist rips the arms and legs off of an innocent unborn child, what is it, if not a horrific murder.

Rachel Maddow is doing her best to paint the pro life movement as an extremely violent mob on the verge of killing an abortionist at any moment. On the other hand the former National Abortion Federation president, Frances Kissling, in a Washington Post op ed piece on February 18th had this to say about late term abortions.

“We can no longer pretend the fetus is invisible……The fetus is more visible than ever before, and the abortion-rights movement needs to accept its existence and its value. …….. We need to firmly and clearly reject post-viability abortions except in extreme cases….

Mark is doing his best within the limits of the law to protect unborn children and their mothers from the horrors of the abortionist’s knife and the devastation of their lies. In one appointment at the abortionist’s office not only will a child be mercilessly murdered but the mother will have unknowingly been put at risk for breast cancer and even death because sound medical information will not be given to her.

Maddow is not naming Flip Benham, Mark Holick or Operation Save America because she wants to make sure that her viewers cannot check her facts. This also makes it easier to severely prejudice her audience against all pro lifers on the street. She and her cohorts call gentle Christian moms and dads with their children extremist anti abortion mobs when nothing could be further from the truth.

Frances Kissling in a January 31st op ed in the Washington Post stated, “Today, all sorts of well-educated and progressive people are comfortable calling themselves pro-life. In the public eye, the term seems to encompass a broader and more moderate vision, not focused solely on what it opposes. That vision has suffered the occasional blow: Most recently, a man on the antiabortion fringe was convicted Friday of the murder, at a KS church, of George Tiller, a doctor who performed abortions. But the Scott Roeders of the world are not adding to the movement’s base. The Super Bowl approach is doing that.”

Frances Kissling is referring to the Tim Tebow ad played during the Super Bowl. She is honest in her evaluation of the pro life movement’s growth and savvy without using pro death extremist propaganda. In light of Ms. Kissling’s statements, Rachel Maddow proves herself to be an extremist nut case with a bully pulpit.

When asked about Maddow’s over the top rhetoric combined with her out and out lies Flip Benham had this to say.

“MSNBC’s Rachael Maddow has become a mainstream media voice in the attempt to vilify and silence gentle Christian speech at abortion mills across the country. To her huge audience of 12-15 people she is using her media leverage to remove gentle Christian moms and dads, grammas and grandpas from giving mothers a real choice at these places of death. She insanely, continuously, and publicly disparages them all as wild-eyed lunatics bent on blowing-up abortion mills and shooting abortionists.

Yes, she is using the violence of a few to silence the voice of many. What a broad brush she uses, and with no tinge of conscience. She is a lady on a mission. Her hatred for those who would bring the Gospel of Christ to an abortion mill is impossible to conceal.

What makes Rachael so Mad Now? ‘…all who hate me love death.’ Proverbs 8:36. Rachael hates God, and therefore hates anyone that would dare to speak for Him. Rachael is pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, pro-euthanasia, pro-Planned Parenthood, and pro any religion but Christianity. All of the above lead to death.”

The Maddow Show is sending a portion of its “news” team to follow Pastor Holick as he endeavors to save innocent lives and preach the Gospel. Pray for him to be wise and that his voice will be heard.

As for extremist out of state mobs meeting to intimidate, block mill entrances, exits and traffic this summer. It’s not happenin’, just like it didn’t happen last summer. What will happen this summer is that praying saints from all over the country will gather up their families and head out to the designated city and there they will prayerfully minister God’s word to everyone that they meet in that city.

Abortionist Ginde Targets Ken Scott with Her Car




Ken Scott stands at the driveway of the Planned Parenthood facility in Denver offering help and counsel to abortion bound women five days a week.

Ken stands at the gate on the left side of this picture. A surveillance camera owned by Planned Parenthood is always recording the activity at the gate. On Tuesday mornings abortionist Savita Ginde, director of Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood abortionists is on duty. But before she even walks into the killing place she regularly tries to run Ken over with her vehicle. Ken is used to it and so far has managed to avoid her attacks. This morning things were a little different.

It was around 9:30 am when I heard the familiar sound of her motor being gunned and I saw her speed up. She laid on her horn and drove at Ken. In order to make him jump out of the way she has to enter the parking lot on the exit side of the driveway. It’s the norm for Tuesdays and any other day that she shows up. But today she drove at him faster and more aggressively than usual. When she got out of her car Ken spoke to her as always. He admonished her to come to Christ warned her of the dangers of hell and plead with her not to kill children.

About 45 minutes later 4 cop cars pulled into the abortuary’s parking lot and several officers went inside to watch the video of the morning’s events. According to an officer that spoke with Ken, Abortionist Ginde called because she wanted Ken Scott arrested for blocking the driveway and for speaking to her. Savita couldn’t have been thinking very clearly because the video showed her speeding up and threatening Ken with her car on the wrong side of the driveway. As far as we know Savita wasn’t ticketed for threatening Ken with a deadly weapon. Although the thought of playing that video in a court of law with Savita on the witness stand would have been very interesting, we are thankful that Ken wasn’t ticketed either. We can only hope the officers issued Ginde a strong warning and that she will stop targeting Ken. She kills children for a living and I’m concerned that she is beginning to believe that she has the right to kill whoever whenever she feels the need.

I can’t help but wonder what set her off today. Could it be that she’s feeling the pressure of Live Action’s recent under cover films of Planned Parenthood’s blatant disregard for the law. Or maybe she’s troubled because women are finding out that the abortion giant is more concerned with killing babies for profit than protecting underage girls from pimps. Or maybe she thinks her paycheck will be cut when Planned Parenthood is de-funded.

Your "Molotov Cocktail" for Breast Cancer ~ No Co-pay!


Just as Live Action has pulled the pants down on abortion industry giant, Planned Parenthood, for the umpteenth time, there's this Youtube of a push for more insanity found on Jill Stanek's blog.

As I posted in December, HLIAmerica hosted a cutting edge and highly significant symposium, 50 Years of the Pill late last year, at which breast surgeon and oncologist, Dr. Angela Lanfranchi broke the silence of the medical establishment by calling oral contraceptives, a "Molotov Cocktail" for breast cancer.

Asking why the steroids which will get athletes arrested are routinely given like candy to young girls and women, Dr. Lanfranchi insists women can handle the truth and need to be told that OCs are Class 1 Carcinogens. "When is it ever right to give a group one carcinogen to a healthy woman?” she asked the audience. “We don’t have to take a group one carcinogen to be liberated.”

Don't let that get in the way of screaming for more money, PP, and at the same time making yourself look ever more evil and foolish!!

The truth is and will continue to be proclaimed and your house, built on shifting sands, will fall because of your epic fail to protect the women you pretend to care about ~ on every level, in every way.

Pandering to pimps & prostitutes leads to a paucity of employment possibilities!


Now that the dust is settling a bit from the incredible human trafficking sting revealed by the indomitable team at Live Action, we learn today that the child killing cheerleader, Amy, has been released from her official
duties!

Who knew that Planned Parenthood's offensive trip to authorities reporting a "suspicious" client, would lead to such a hasty firing of one of their dedicated workers?

As the intrepid Jill Stanek notes, "It simply doesn’t ring true that immediately after giving the sex trafficker advice on how to cover up sex abuse, statutory rape, minor prostitution, and human sex trafficking, the PP staffer turned around and turned them in to authorities. But logic usually defies MSM and pro-aborts."

Stericycle’s Profit from the Death of the Innocent Unborn

"Although those that rose up against the detestable actions of the Nazi government thankfully brought the Jewish Holocaust to an end, a holocaust still remains in our midst today. Every day, 4,000 unborn children are murdered in the womb in the name of “choice.” Sadly, like Degussa, a number of businesses are willing to aid the abortion industry in their unthinkable task, despite the fact that doing so equates to receiving blood money for the murder of the innocent."

Stericycle classifies America's posterity, which our founders claimed to have had an inalienable right to life, as medical waste, when they haul tiny bodies made in God's image to the local dump or to their incinerators.





Are we really any different than Hitler's Germany?

A Better Choice !



Choosing death violates our Lord’s command to choose life, that you and your descendants might live ~ protect our posterity!

Holy, holy, holy ~ Lord God Almighty ~ creator of the universe

Oh, that the scales would fall from the eyes of Americans ~ every human life is infinitely valuable in God’s sight!

In place of destruction, may precious lives in the womb be granted legal protection from the beginning of biological development of each baby boy or girl.

Clearly, the founders of our nation were teaching that our citizens have an inalienable right to life in the Declaration of Independence.

Every state in the union is pursuing Personhood for pre-born babies ~ praise God that the country is awakening from her 40 years in the wilderness !

Frosty Caper at Planned Parenthood Confuses Keystone Cops


Planned Parenthood Frosts the Police Department

Saturday morning, January 8th was cold. It was so cold the black sheet that Planned Parenthood uses to cover its fence to prevent their clients from interacting with pro lifers frosted over. The frosted vinyl surface provides a fantastic medium for frozen messages, providing you are able to maintain warmth in at least one warm finger. When you use your finger to pen a message in the frost it melts and re-freezes, leaving what looks like a chalk message on the fence surrounding the killing place.




Two pro lifers, Debbie Evans and Jo Scott, spent about five minutes preparing the fence for the morning outreach to the moms in crisis. Ten minutes later, to everyone’s amazement, 8 squad cars surrounded the pro lifers and 2 others enter into the Planned Parenthood parking lot.

What followed will go down in history as a serious case of police buffoonery. The sergeant jumped out of his car and yelled, “Who wrote on the wall?” Jo Scott said, “I did.” To which he responded, “Come with me, I’ll need to see your ID you’re getting a ticket for destruction of private property.” Jo was flabbergasted and told the officer that she had written in the frost on the fence. He would not believe her. The police were on the scene for fifteen minutes when the sun came over the building and began melting the message.

Jo encouraged them to take pictures before the sign disappeared. The sergeant would not turn around to look at the fence. No amount of reasoning would get him to take his job seriously and look past his nose to the fence. Jo did her best to get business cards from every officer on the scene. She said that it would be fun to have them all in court explaining why they could not tell the difference between frost and chalk.

About a half hour into the Jo Scott inquisition her license was given back to her and Debbie Evans was pulled aside and ordered to provide her ID. By now all the pro lifers, about 20, were writing on the fence and asking to be arrested as frosted felons. It was truly hilarious!

The cops were citing pro lifers for writing in the frost and insisting that it was chalk. You couldn’t make up a better example of the buffoonery that pro lifers around the country deal with on a daily basis if you tried. Planned Parenthood says jump and the police says how high? They refuse to be confused by the facts.

Debbie was issued a ticket for destruction of public property. Jo was not because the security guard did not see her in the act of writing on the fence. By now, about forty five minutes after the troops arrived, the message on the fence had almost completely melted away.

The police parked in the middle of the street when they arrived. The blockade in front of Planned Parenthood and made it appear as though a major crime was in progress. During the time the police were blocking the street, no abortion clients entered the mill. Praise the LORD!!

All of a sudden, just as quickly as they arrived, the regiment of 10 departed. Five minutes after that, the officer that cited Debbie retuned to the mill and asked her for her ticket. “It was just frost on the fence; we’re going to tear the ticket up.” Debbie handed him the ticket and he tore it up.

Ten squad cars and the cops that go with them for one hour, I wonder what the frosty caper cost Denver?

Why do Christian women take The Pill ?


Recent reflection about the failure of Colorado's Amendment 62 has brought me to the belief that one of our biggest
obstacles to bestowing legal protection to every baby in the womb is the pervasive use of The Pill by Christian women.

I had the privilege of attending HLIAmerica's outstanding December 2010 symposium, 50 Years of The Pill last month.

HLI is to be commended for gathering experts to give the other side of the story the media has entirely overlooked,
to the detriment of American women, for decades.

Breast surgeon and oncologist, Dr. Angela Lanfranchi threw a verbal bomb to attendees, which has yet to enter our lexicon,
but Lord willing it will gain traction in the near future!

Dr. Lanfranchi had the temerity to go beyond whether The Pill is abortifacient, to the considerable health risks, calling the Pill a "molotov cocktail" for breast cancer. She asked the question none have had the courage to ask, "When is it ever right to give a group one carcinogen to a healthy woman?”

Randy Alcorn has written some excellent articles and a book on the elephant in the room, Does the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions?

"Dr. Walt Larimore has told me that whenever he has presented this evidence to audiences of secular physicians, there has been little or no resistance to it. But when he has presented it to Christian physicians there has been substantial resistance.

Since secular physicians do not care whether the Pill prevents implantation, they tend to be objective in interpreting the evidence. After all, they have little or nothing at stake either way. Christian physicians, however, very much do not want to believe the Pill causes early abortions. Therefore, I believe, they tend to resist the evidence. This is certainly understandable. Nonetheless, we should not permit what we want to believe to distract us from what the evidence indicates we should believe."

Dr. Lanfranchi shared that 50 % of teens are on The Pill ~ a statistic that should concern all loving parents.

So this little white tablet that caused a revolution, is likely responsible for the deaths of thousands upon thousands of tiny lives and far more adult women than any imagine.

Let the national conversation begin!

Amendment 62, Epilogue




The condition of a 27-year-old woman who was struck by a hit-and-run driver in the Stapleton neighborhood has been upgraded from critical to serious condition, authorities say.

The improvement comes a day after Laura Gorham's condition worsened to critical condition on Friday, said Kalena Wilkinson, spokeswoman for Denver Health Medical Center.

Gorham's family released a statement today asking for help in finding the hit-and-run driver.

“Personhood would have given justice to this child. We lost the election but truth always gets the last word,” Bob Enyart with Colorado Right to Life said.

Our hearts are in solidarity with the Gorham family in their tragic loss.

Treated with Dignity and Respect


I had the great privilege of meeting Monica Migliorino Miller at Notre Dame when the current resident of the White House was given an honorary degree in 2009.

Her passion for babies in the womb is inspiring and was a sight to behold as she broke through police lines,in order to show the ND graduates families the horror the speaker they were about to hear advocates. This month her organization put their passion into practice by helping to see that tiny baby bodies, found in the trash in Michigan, were given a proper burial.

Monica Miglioriono Miller states: "The abortion clinic treated these human beings as if they were trash. Pro-lifers buried them--and treated them with dignity and respect. In this we see the clash of two cultures--and it matters which one shall prevail. This grave is a place of justice and healing--healing for all the mothers and fathers who grieve the loss of their aborted child. But this grave is also an indictment--an indictment against a nation that allows this sort of atrocity. The voices of these unborn children cry out to us from the ground that covers them now. Let us hear their plea and end the injustice of abortion."

Monica's heroics have, unbelievably, made the New York Times in this remarkable piece.

Thank God for the remnant in our society who still hold that every human life is sacred with infinite worth in God's sight!

California Civil Rights Foundation's Media Release on Amendment 62


MEDIA ADVISORY

For Immediate Release

Union City, California (Wednesday, November
3rd, 2010) – Colorado Amendment 62 Defeated.

Walter Hoye, Founder and President of the California Civil Rights Foundation, responds to the recent defeat of Colorado’s Amendment 62.

“So pure and powerful is the question of the ‘identity of humanity’ that I bow before our Lord in abject humility understanding that the morality of the 21st Century will depend on how we answer this profound question. The zero-sum activity of winning or losing at the ballot pales in comparison to pondering the profound question Personhood poses. Promoting
Personhood in the public square is always a win because ears will have heard and minds will have been challenged with a truth that remains largely hidden in the darkness that now engulfs our country and even our world. Precisely because Personhood
prompts the discussion of what it means to be created in the image of God, in a society that lives with legalized abortion on demand and the murder of over 53 million of her children, she always presents a victory for humanity.”

Hoye goes on to echo the words of Theodore Parker, a reforming American minister of the Unitarian Church, an Abolitionist, and a Transcendentalist who in his 1853 "Of Justice and the Conscience" said:

"I do not pretend to understand the moral universe; the arc is a long one, my eye reaches but little ways; [While] I cannot calculate the curve and complete the figure by the experience of sight. I can divine it by conscience. And from what I
see, I am sure it bends towards justice."

Amen Mr. Parker.

Personhood is what the Pro-Life movement looks like victorious.

Juda 4 Praise has a word for No on 62's Fofi Mendez

Change?
juda myers 11.4.2010



Well we saw change November 2, 2010. When people actually get up and do something, things do change. There is a silent majority that seems to hold everything inside until they can’t take it any longer. But what if people continually did what is right and made an effort to keep this country as the founders intended – as God intended?




The sign above is what anti Personhood people held. These people are against people like me because I was conceived in rape.They use my situation as an excuse to kill. Next time I want to gather a huge crowd of people conceived in rape to stand there with signs that ask if we deserve the death penalty for the crime of our fathers.

Sophistication or substance?

By Michael Moriarty
web posted November 1, 2010

The coming election – perhaps the most important mid-term election in American history – is only five days away. At the time of this article's appearance, it will only be one day away.

The polls predict not just a landslide victory for the Republicans but an "avalanche".

However, I am only interested in the outcome of Colorado's Amendment 62 bestowing "personhood" upon gestating infants at their creation and not upon a grotesquely arbitrary decision called the third trimester of gestation.

"Sophistication."

That is the only word that can describe the Progressive rationalizations for what amounts to murder. Progressives are just more "sophisticated" than the rest of us. To be "sophisticated" is to be Progressive.

The most sophisticated city in the world has, for the most part, been Paris, France. Despite the vibrancy of New York, the most sophisticated New Yorkers, from the readers of Vogue to those worshippers of the New York Times, generally hold Paris on a higher level than their own, limitlessly exciting city.

The real and, most significantly, the "Progressive" reason for that is the difference between the American and French Revolutions.

The American Revolution succeeded and out of it came the legendarily unsophisticated United States.

Colorado View Magazine profiles Personhood proponent v opponent


Voters this fall will once again be asked to decide a state constitutional amendment that seeks to define a person to give legal rights to an unborn child. In March, Colorado Amendment 62, called the Personhood Amendment, was placed on the ballot after the Secretary of State certified nearly 100,000 signatures in support. Backers say the ultimate goal is to overturn Roe v. Wade.

A similar measure was defeated in 2008, 73 to 27 percent. Unswayed, proponents are not only back but have tweaked the language to make the language broader. A person is no longer defined from moment of fertilization. Now a person is given rights at the beginning of biological development. Backers say this change offers protection for the unborn during such things as in vitro fertilization. It also could potentially prohibit birth control methods that prevent implantation in the uterus.

Working tirelessly in support and in opposition of this controversial amendment are two accomplished, articulate women. Both are veterans in the political arena; both are passionate and unwavering in their beliefs. And both have devoted decades trying to defeat what the other stands for.

Leslie Hanks. Watkins. Vice President of Colorado Right to Life. Co-sponsor of Personhood Amendment 62.

The first toe-dip into politics for Leslie Hanks came in 1986 when she was asked to run for PTA president at her kids’ school in the Bennet 29 School District. She was a stay-at-home mom who was going to college to earn a degree in English. She agreed to run not knowing of the fight that soon would change the course of her life.

Growing up in the Chicago suburbs, she says she was completely apolitical. Her father was a jazz musician, her mother a traditional housewife who sometimes felt restless in the domestic world. “My parents were both highly opinionated so I come by it naturally,” jokes the 59-year-old mother of two and grandmother of eight. She has been married to the same man 39 years. She is at once cheerful and relaxed, without a hint of the contentiousness that often swirls around her chosen causes.

I would go as far as saying, “How dare we not compare the Abortion Holocaust to the American Slave Trade" ?


Tough Questions Series – How Dare You Compare Abortion to The Holocaust or Slavery?

I have heard many people cry foul whenever any pro-lifer uses the Jewish Holocaust or slavery in America as a comparison to abortion. Many times at my talks someone will scold me during question-and-answer time, claiming to be offended that I would use such a comparison.

The problem they have is not really the fact that a comparison is being made to one of these horrific tragedies; after all, we build museums, memorials and reminders of what happened to make sure something like the Jewish Holocaust will never happen again. The problem really is that we have elevated what they consider to be a blob of tissue to personhood status.

"America's last chance: Amendment 62" ~ Michael Moriarty


By Michael Moriarty
web posted October 25, 2010

My regular readers know me well enough to comprehend my seriousness about the curse that the Supreme Court loaded on the back of America in 1973, with its Roe v Wade decision legalizing abortion. Little did I know – historically challenged little me – that America's legalized abortion actually began in Colorado in 1967. Yup, the practice of murdering your own children with impunity began not 37 years ago, but 43.

That is half the length of time America took to finally end slavery.

Yup, Hollywood's Little Getaway Spot, with the ski trails of Aspen and the seven figure vacation homes, revolutionized America's very soul.Colorado did more to destroy America's "inalienable right to life" than even Dr. Evil and his Mini-Me have accomplished so far.

By that I mean, it was the elite, wealthy and influential of Colorado that actually began to beg for the arrival of a wannabe-Mao Zedong and his "Cultural Revolution" … or rather the "fundamental transformation of the United States of America."

Predictably, Mr. Moriarty has been slammed by the Democratic Underground for his admiration of America's Declaration of Independence. Of course, there's also the little problem of the Law and Order episode, Dignity with its echos of Personhood for pre-born babies in the womb.

As American RTL noted, "Cutter virtually quoted the co-sponsor of Colorado's 2010 Personhood Amendment, Gualberto Garcia Jones, who launched the statewide ballot initiative holding his 10-day-old son at a press conference and saying, "Two weeks ago, my son had less rights than a dog or a cat." Speaking to District Attorney Jack McCoy, Cutter says, "My God, cats and dogs have more rights than the unborn."

Vote YES on CO's Personhood amendment 62 for more beautiful "Beginnings"!!


Incredible photographer of life, Anne Geddes, has a new book, "Beginnings" which the Huffington Post is featuring. (HT, Jillstanek.com)

Imagine that and ponder why!

I'm personally thinking that she may be wanting to soften a crowd not typically baby friendly.

Who knows, but her photos have the unmistakable handprint of God on every page!!

What artistry!

What vision . . .

"I saw a photograph of a bird's nest, which was an advertisement for what I thought was a photographic exhibition at a small gallery in Sydney. When I arrived, it was a showing of real birds' nests. I was deeply moved by these little nests, their incredible beauty and fragility, and the mothering instinct at work -- the ingenuity and energy channeled into creating a safe place to conceal the young. Everything about them was just so nurturing. And I began to think about these miracles of nature that are concealed in a repeating pattern of secrete, store, burst forth in abundance -- seeds, bulbs, cocoons and the miracle of pregnancy.

When I saw the nests, everything began to flow again; everything came back. I felt inspired to start photographing again. I came out of the exhibit and phoned my husband, Kel, and said, "I need to do another book. I just saw these amazing nests." The whole "Beginnings" project started from there.

The creative intensity of the project pushed me into deeper and deeper territory, giving me something far richer than I could ever have anticipated. I sometimes had to change course within my vision. I think you have to be able to say, "Wait a minute, this is closer to what I wanted to say," and not be afraid to do that. The evolution of the project attracted me as an artist and was fulfilling in the sense that I became aware of being inspired to explore my vision in new forms."

Thank You, Anne for so perfectly revealing the MIRACLE that is new life!!

Pam Tebow, Mother of Heisman Trophy Winner, Endorses Colorado Personhood Amendment 62


Contact: Jennifer Mason, Personhood Colorado, 202-595-3500 ext. 1

DENVER, Oct. 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- Pam Tebow, mother of five including Denver Bronco Tim Tebow, has endorsed Colorado's Personhood Amendment, Amendment 62, which is the only pro-life issue on the ballot anywhere in the U.S. in 2010.

"A child's right to life begins at conception, not at birth. From conception, all children are people, made in the image and likeness of God. Thus, I support the Personhood amendment and appeal to Colorado voters to vote "yes" on amendment 62," stated Pam Tebow, in support of Amendment 62.

Pam Tebow made headline news when she and Heisman-trophy winning son Tim Tebow appeared in a pro-life television ad during the 2010 Superbowl. The real headline story was not the ad, but Pam's refusal to let doctor's take her son's life while she was pregnant. The ad was sponsored by Focus on the Family, which has also urged Colorado voters to vote "Yes" on Amendment 62.

What started in Colorado ends in Colorado!


In April of 1967 Colorado became the first state to legalize the killing of innocent unborn children.
More than 40 years, and a million broken lives later, in 2010, Colorado has an opportunity to be the first to end it.
Amendment 62 recognizes that all life is precious and that every child should be protected by love and by law.

Please watch this powerful video and share it with everyone you know!


And in November, vote yes on 62, it’s the right thing to do!!

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

Great Great Granddaughter of Slaves Speaks out for Personhood


The Amendment 62 campaign in Colorado, seeking to legally protect every baby in the womb from the beginning of biological development, has been blessed by the presence of Lori Hoye and her husband Walter Hoye during the recent months of our campaign.

They have so very generously shared the personhood vision with churches all over Colorado from the perspective of the founders of the California Civil Rights Foundation and Issues4Life.

Lori's thoughts about the need to protect each life made in God's image, are particularly poignant as her family history
explains.

As the great great granddaughter of former slaves, I am ETERNALLY grateful that Abraham Lincoln DID risk the Union, fought the Civil War, and Abolished Slavery.

It is very easy to talk about practicality, pragmatism and polls when you are not the one wearing chains and being beaten on a daily basis. It’s easy to be patient when you are free. It’s another thing entirely when you’re the slave. The nearly 240
years that passed until the Thirteenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution officially ended slavery in 1865 were an eternity for the slave. The past 37 years are an eternity for the preborn child.

In the black community every 72 seconds a preborn baby is being brutally murdered in the womb of his or her mother. The baby wants to live and expects those who have the power to save him or her to do it RIGHT NOW. Abortion has taken more lives in the African-American community in 37 years (over 14 million) than slavery took from Africa in more than 400 years (12 to 13 million African forbearers ripped from their homes and forcibly transported to the Americas in a massive slave trade
dating from the 1400s).

State sued for “bias, lies” in describing Amendment 62


By Jack Minor

Organizers of Amendment 62, the personhood initiative, have filed a lawsuit against the state alleging “lies” about the measure printed in the Blue Book voting manual scheduled to be sent to voters. Sponsors of the amendment say this year's analysis of the proposal does not give voters a fair and balanced analysis of the initiative.

Dennis Hoshiko, a local onion farmer and one of the key figures behind the initiative, told the Gazette the state completely disregarded the detailed medical opinions provided by the group and instead relied totally on opinions from the opposition when printing the voter guide. Hoshiko said “the state’s allegation that the term ‘beginning of biological development’ has no basis in science is totally false. We provided them with multiple documents showing the term is well established in science.”

Gualberto Garcia-Jones, a co-sponsor of the amendment said "First, we were disallowed from including the text of the amendment in the 'Arguments For' section. The 'Arguments For' section is weak and does not include most of the arguments for Amendment 62. The Blue Book authors didn't stop there, however, and published several falsehoods about Amendment 62. Women could never be denied health care for miscarriages with the passage of Amendment 62, yet that is one of the lies our opposition is using as a scare tactic – and one of the lies propagated by the Colorado Blue Book.”

'Notre Dame 88' get green light to grill college chief
Obama protesters were arrested on university orders

Posted: September 23, 2010

By Bob Unruh
© 2010 WorldNetDaily


A judge in Indiana has approved a request to depose a key school administrator by lawyers representing the "Notre Dame 88," pro-life activists who were arrested on orders from the Catholic university while they protested the school's speaking invitation to the devoutly pro-abortion President Barack Obama.

The move is key to the Notre Dame 88's defense, because when the famed university cracked down on the Obama critics, Notre Dame President John Jenkins issued a statement that all protesters were treated equally on campus.

However, William Kirk, former Notre Dame associate vice president for residential life who recently was dismissed, may have first-hand knowledge that the university previously allowed "gay" rights and anti-ROTC protesters to operate on campus without a permit and without any charges being filed, according to the Thomas More Society, which is working on the pro-life activists' defense.

The organization reports that Kirk had served the university for many years but "was abruptly let go after it became public that, while Notre Dame had arrested and vigorously prosecuted pro-life demonstrators, in prior years the university filed no charges against gay rights and anti-ROTC activists who also had protested on campus without permission."
