Top Secret: Regions Hospital Closing Abortion Clinic

~ Pharmer

When four or five abortion supporters gather to protest, the media is there, but events such as Forty Days for Life, an ongoing, National prayer vigil occurring twice yearly flies under the radar.
Here’s one example of repeated large prayer gatherings causing the closing of the abortion clinic within Regions Hospital, in St. Paul Minnesota.
Pro-Life Action Ministries in St Paul had worked for years to have this clinic closed. With the backing of Forty Days for Life, which has brought added numbers to their efforts, finally they have seen success.

Announcements of this closing have made no mention of the many hundreds of people gathered in prayer outside the hospital during the Forty Days for Life campaigns.

Steve Driehaus, Deposed Democrat, Still Opposes First Amendment

~ Pharmer

SBA List v. Driehaus: The lawsuit that led the ACLU to side with a pro-life group « Hot Air.

Sore Loser, Democrat Steve Driehaus, of Cincinnati Ohio is still pressing his lawsuit against the Susan B. Anthony List for running an ad against him for the 2010 election.

Yes, Obamacare funds and supports abortion, and we know this from the Dems refusal to allow amendments to remove it.  the SBA list ran campaign ads revealing that Driehaus, who claimed to be prolife, was supporting abortion by supporting Obamacare.

Finally the Protect Life Act has passed the new, Republican dominated Congress, which would eliminate Obamacare funding for abortion.  You can count on Obama to refuse to sign it.

Driehaus is using a false statement law in Ohio to sue the SBA list for the (correct) campaign ads, and his case will go to trial in Federal court.  The ACLU is actually siding with the SBA list on this case, knowing that such suppression of political speech would put them out of business.

An appeal of the original judgment in this lawsuit has been filed with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

 

Abortion Supporters Fear Legal Recognition of Biological Fact

~ Pharmer

Mississippi Abortion Amendment 26 Says Life Begins at Fertilization | Video | TheBlaze.com.

It’s in your developmental biology book, and your general biology text.   Life for an organism of sexually reproducing species begins when fertilization is complete.

Mississippi proposes to recognize this fact in law, amid objections from abortion supporters.

They complain that this amendment might affect the availability of many birth control pills.

This is an admission that birth control pills, which operate by multiple mechanisms, including interference with implantation, have been misbranded as contraceptives.

Maybe we can request a surgeon general warning on BC pill packs that says: WARNING: this pill may operate by stopping the life of an early human embryo.

The warning could be upgraded for Plan B, and especially for Ella, doses of which can be accumulated for use in home abortions.

It is feared that legal recognition of what developmental biologists have observed might hurt the pharmaceutical and abortion industry.   Maybe if they had been honest all along, such efforts as Mississippi amendment 26 would not have been necessary.

Pelosi on Abortion: Foaming at the Mouth Again

~ Pharmer

Steve Ertelt grabbed this bit of video of Pelosi commenting on the latest attempt to defund abortion and protect conscientious health care professionals, being addressed in Congress.

Nancy is frothing at the mouth with more intensity than usual, fueled possibly by the cognitive dissonance in her mind. Nancy professes some connection with Catholicism, which expressly states that the killings of humans by abortion are wrong. It is up close and personal for Pelosi, who wants these procedures available for her daughters. Living inside the head of this woman would not be pleasant.

From Nancy’s mind to yours, (4/20/07) decrying the upreme Court decision to uphold the ban of partial birth abortion:
“This isn’t really an abortion issue. That is what really saddens me about what the justices said.

“This is about a procedure that any parent would want her daughter to have access to if she needed it. And to frame it as an abortion issue is doing a disservice to medicine and to our young women and our country. So I hope we can get the focus back on the fact that this Supreme Court is deciding what medical procedures are necessary for child-bearing women.”

Pharmer invites Pelosi to present a single medical case in which any procedure of carving up a human in utero is necessary specifically to save the life of a mother.

Don’t hold your breath for a response.

The Remnant: NOT Happy with Bishop Zurek and USCCB over Priests for Life.

~ Pharmer ~ 4 Comments

THE REMNANT NEWSPAPER: Bishops for Life?.

It’s a long and Blistering opinion piece at the Remnant, a conservative Catholic Newspaper, ripping Bishop Patrick Zurek  for pulling Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life back to Amarillo, and “suspending?” him.

This treatment of the pro-lifers is NO surprise to the Pharmer, who has long noticed that our business and priorities are NOT those of the USCCB, even though they have been putting out a little showing of concern for the problem in the past few years.

Up until recently, the babies bodies have been politically  bartered  in order to gain other benefits of higher priority.  It’s been better for social programs, more open borders, and the collection plate, to push the abortion issue to the back burner.

Now that it’s painfully obvious to most everyone  that Catholics will be forced to participate in abortion, whether they want to or not,  we’ve gotten a new Committee!   (wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!) at the USCCB.

But Fr. Frank Pavone, who has his own pro-life organization has been ordered to cease and desist.  Maybe  a vengeful  heart against those of us who stopped contributing to the USCCB, (which was  funding ACORN and some other organizations connected to abortion), caused Bishop Zurek to recommend that Catholics not donate to Priests for Life.

Pharmer is not inspired by this  to resume the contributions to USCCB.

 

Homily for October 2, 2011: 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time | The Deacon’s Bench

Homily for October 2, 2011: 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time | The Deacon’s Bench.

The pharmer’s Uncle found the Oct 2 homily from Deacon Greg Kandra,  and forwarded it.  It’s good input for pro-life month.

Deacon Greg Kandra tells us to thank Steve Jobs’ MAMA ,  who chose life for her unplanned kid and put him up for adoption.   She’s responsible for allowing us to have all those goodies from the Apple Corporation.

That sermon  provided impetus for another pounding on Pharmer’s favorite nail:

It highlighted one  reason, among many, to avoid usurping the life and death business from the ‘CEO of the universes’.

This pharmer is obsessed with another reason: that the advancement of humanity is fueled by the need to address human suffering and need.  

The short sighted get the idea that human suffering should be addressed by removing those who suffer or have special health needs.

Besides the immediate wrong of killing them, comes the Devolution of civilization.  Our impetus to create and invent to address human suffering and need is squashed, because those people are gone.

Some people have an indirect life mission to increase the humanity of everyone.  They are as valuable as Steve Jobs.

While you’re wandering Deacon Kandra’s blog, he has another cool sermon for this weekend, Oct 9.
