Preventing the suffering that abortion inflicts

by: The Washington Times

Amid-May report from Houston claiming abortionist Douglas Karpen performed illegal late-term abortions shows that the case of abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell was not an isolated incident. Sadly, the death and chaos exhibited at Gosnell’s —and allegedly, Karpen’s — hands is not at all surprising. For 40 years, we have allowed a culture of violence and inhumanity to reign over what we know to be true — that all people, no matter their race, gender, disability — or in the case of abortion, location and development — have a right to life and a right to be treated with dignity and respect. This principle is a fundamental truth that transcends human government. It is enshrined in the foundational documents of our nation, and it cannot be violated without disastrous results.   more...

Black Media Outlets are Just Free Ad Space for Planned Parenthood

by: LifeNews

Truth knows no color. No one has a monopoly on it. Everyone has access to it. Frederick Douglass believed this, and risking life and limb, became the first black American journalist with the creation of the anti-slavery North Star newspaper. Douglass wasn’t afraid to speak or write the truth. He knew it was the only catalyst for freedom. Without it, shackles would remain and the evil institution of slavery would continue to keep humanity in bondage. Today’s news media fears the truth. And nowhere is truth more vital in bringing liberty than in urban America where physical shackles have been replaced by ideological ones. Since The Radiance Foundation first launched its TooManyAborted.com abortion awareness initiative, I’ve been puzzled, amused, and utterly shocked at the majority of black journalists’ take on the number one killer in the black community—abortion.  more...

At Washington Post, even local abortion crime isn't newsworthy

by: Patheos

On May 25, I tweeted out the image at the top of this post with the note “WaPo story about 12 of 16 surgical abortion clinics in MD having a variety of failures gets this headline?” The headline was: Md. abortion clinic lapses unrelated to patient death The online headline might as well have been “nothing to see here, please move along, we’re covering this just so we can say we did” but was slightly better: Md: ‘No deficiencies’ found in care of woman who died after abortion. If you did read the story, though, you learned that, like I said, 12 of 16 surgical abortion clinics in MD (aka 75%) had deficiencies. Four had been shut down. And apparently death after an abortion is something that just happens sometimes. If that’s true, I’d sure like a heck of a lot more incendiary headline than what the WashPost offered above. In a way, being told an abortion-related death is no big deal is more interesting than being told it is. Unless you’re a newspaper these days.  more...

Obama's War on Girls: Plan B

by: cnsnews.com

President Obama is waging a War on Girls by allowing young children to get Plan B without a physician or parent's care or knowledge. Use of Plan B does NOT reduce abortion rates, but it does increase a whole host of dangerous risks. This is not "reproductive justice;" this is child abuse. Common side-effects of the morning after pill include nausea, vomiting, lower abdominal pain, fatigue, headache, and dizziness - not fun for your kiddo to go through - but, it can also have fatal side-effects because Plan B has been known to cause blood clots, heart attacks or strokes. Most alarmingly, when emergency contraception fails and a girl becomes pregnant, which Plan B says happens one out of eight times, it triples the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Children cannot understand these risks and, without a doctor's supervision, an ectopic pregnancy could continue, every day becoming more and more dangerous to her health and life. Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards was predictably excited about any attempt to sacrifice women and children's health on the altar of "choice":   more...

Abortion and fatherhood -- a man's take

by: FOX News

A dear friend of mine recently confessed to me that he was the father of one living daughter and four deceased children. The four were aborted, three with his consent and one without. My friend said the pain of those deaths is something he copes with on a daily basis.“The guilt and pain can be overwhelming,” he said. Another friend still can’t hold back tears, even after 20 years, when he shares that he took his then-girlfriend to Planned Parenthood to erase the “mistake” they made a few months before their wedding. Now married for two decades and the parent of four other beautiful children, he recounts how his marriage was difficult and tumultuous for years until they sought counseling. The root of their conflict and strife? The abortion. As we approach Father’s Day once again, more and more men are realizing the impact abortion has not only had on women, but also on themselves. And the impact is anything but positive.   more...
