Sex Selection Abortions Shock Us, but Abortion of the Disabled Still Justified By Nancy Flanders, Published February 9th, 2012

Obama Declares War on Pro-Lifers in Conscience Battle

LindaFlower_MD — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:05:18 +0000

Last month, the Obama Administration issued a statement re-iterating the “contraceptive mandate” requiring all insurance providers cover the full range of FDA-approved drugs and devices would remain intact. This mandate, issued in August, includes drugs that work after conception to destroy life rather than prevent it. The statement included a postponement of one year for religious groups that do not already carry contraceptives and additionally would not be exempted under last year’s narrow definition of “religious employer.”

Austin City Council Attacks Pregnancy Centers

AUSTIN, Texas, April 8 – Today, the Austin City Council heard testimony and unanimously voted (7-0) to pass an ordinance specifically designed to attack pregnancy resource centers (PRCs). This ordinance is the first-of-its-kind in Texas, and requires only PRCs to post signs at their entrance that they do not provide or refer for abortions or birth control. There is no corresponding requirement that abortion facilities post signs about the services they do not provide.

This ordinance was being pushed by the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL). Such a law has already been passed in Baltimore, Maryland, but it is being challenged in court. Liberty Institute testified at today’s City Council meeting, and will work to defeat these attacks on charitable centers that are so valuable to women.

“This pro-abortion, political effort by the City Council and NARAL is an outrageous example of out of control government,” said Jonathan Saenz, director of legislative affairs at Liberty Institute. “Why is the City of Austin so hostile to the needs of pregnant women served by charitable pregnancy centers?”

What would the Pence Amendment Mean to Planned Parenthood?

LindaFlower_MD — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:19:41 +0000

"The Pence amendment, sponsored by Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., bans Planned Parenthood from receiving federal funds. The Republican-dominated House of Representatives approved the amendment 240-185 after a debate that featured Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier recounting the story of receiving an abortion due to a complication with a pregnancy. The vote is something of a coup for Pence. As Politico said earlier this week, "Abortion-rights advocates and abortion-rights opponents don't see eye to eye on much, but they do agree on this: Nobody hates Planned Parenthood quite as much as Mike Pence."

Bishops Refuse to comply with Obamacare

At least three Catholic bishops have said they will not comply with the mandate the Obama administration put in place recently in Obamacare that will force religious employers to pay for birth control, contraception and drugs that may cause abortions in their health care plans.

Rehash of Abortion Safety Claim ignores all previous research

LindaFlower_MD — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 16:48:18 +0000

"Springfield, IL (January 25, 2012) — Hundreds of news articles appeared this week claiming, once again, that the best medical evidence shows that abortion is safer than childbirth. The rash of articles were all tied to a blatant piece of propaganda published in Obstetrics and Gynecology by Dr. David Grimes, an abortion provider and chief propagandist for “medical proof” of abortion’s safety. The new study repeats the same discredited practice of simply comparing nationally reported maternal mortality rates with Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported deaths associated with abortion. Sounds reasonable, until you learn that there is no accurate or formal mechanism for reporting abortion-related deaths. Indeed, the rules regarding completion of death certificates specifically exclude identifying abortion as a cause of death."

Responding to Islam: Lessons from Barth, Bonhoffer and George

LindaFlower_MD — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 01:03:27 +0000

Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Karl Barth. Bishop George Bell. Dismissed, derided, and in one case even martyred, each of these Christian leaders took a stand against the threat of Nazism. Today, a similar threat faces Christians in the US, across Europe, and much more dramatically throughout the Muslim world. Radical Islam's jihadist ideology does not peacefully coexist with Christianity. And Christian leaders-both political and pastoral-should know more about the threats they face. Join us as author, pastor, and human rights advocate Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo explains the threat of radical Islam and offers a clear and Christian response.
