Celestial Discharge: C. Everett Koop, former Surgeon General

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

The most memorable of our surgeon generals, C. Everett Koop was celestially discharged at the age of 96, on Feb 25th.Koop with patient

Koop was well known, and disliked by leftists for his adherence to Hippocratic standards of medical ethics. A devout Christian,  he was known for praying at the bedside of his patients.  Pro-lifers saw him as a man of conviction, driven by empathy for the sick and suffering.

It remains a mystery to most of the ‘journalosts’  that a man who opposed homosexual activity would be a staunch advocate for HIV research.  Most of the media, when recounting the accomplishments of Dr. Koop, have been remarking on this as though it is somehow contradictory.   The rest of us see no contradiction or anomaly.  Helping the sick is the natural thing to do, regardless of how they acquired the illness.

Dr. Koop began his medical career as a pediatric surgeon, and by 1959 had become professor of Pediatric Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania medical school, and professor of Pediatrics in 1971.  In his 90s, he remained a professor of Surgery at the Geisel School of Medicine. He was founder and Editor in Chief of the Journal of Pediatric surgery.    Koop’s 8 year tenure as U.S, Surgeon General was at the behest of President Ronald Reagan, and up until the time of his death, he remained famous throughout the country for his  service.

Author of hundreds of articles and books on medical practice and policy, Dr. Koop remained a prominent figure in medicine decades after most practitioners retire. He remains recognized for his pioneering work in the area of pediatric surgery.  His first wife, Elizabeth Flanagan passed away in 2007, and in 2010, Dr. Koop married Cora Hogue.  She and three of his children, Allen, Norman and Elizabeth Thompson, as well as seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren remain with us. Prayers for the good physician and his family to be covered with God’s grace.

Pharmer takes this opportunity to pay respect to all of the  surgeons who pray with their patients as Dr. Koop did.  A surgeon who knows he’s not God inspires confidence.  🙂

Ryan Bomberger of Radiance Foundation Rips the NAACP

NAACP: National Association for the Abortion of Colored People | LifeNews.com.    < — Click it!

Get to know the Radiance Foundation.    It’s a pro-life organization which calls special attention to the genocide of Black babies being carried out in the U.S. by our elitists.

Ryan Bomberger has a legal war going on with the NAACP now. They threatened him with a suit for calling them the National Association for the ABORTION of Colored People.   Ryan promptly sued the NAACP for intimidation.

Meanwhile, the NAACP has pressured Twitter to suspend the NAACP Watchdogs account operated by the National Black Prolife Coalition.  The last tweet before shutdown:

Racist elitists no longer need the Ku Klux Klan to control blacks; they have Planned Parenthood. And Planned Parenthood has the NAACP on a leash.

 

Pastors challenge IRS rule with partisan talk – BakersfieldCalifornian.com

Pastors challenge IRS rule with partisan talk – BakersfieldCalifornian.com.

What makes most non profit 501 (C)(3) tax exempt groups so quiet about their causes? Why are they afraid to name names, and speak loudly against the politicians who oppose them? On this past Pulpit Freedom Sunday, more than 1500 Pastors openly defied the 1954 IRS regulation which sought to squash political speech by non profit groups, by scaring them with the IRS boogieman.
In all these 58 years, the IRS has done next to nothing against politically activist churches and non-profits. The IRS has only succeeded in stripping one church of its tax exempt status, in 1992. That particular church in Binghamton, NY ran newspaper ads against Bill Clinton and his positions on abortion and homosexuality.
Since then the IRS has sent only warning letters to a relatively few churches, and since then has had a policy of not enforcing this law.
The Pulpit Freedom Sunday supporters believe that the IRS fears losing ground on this First Amendment issue.

So…….. Why are so many churches and pro-life 501(c)(3) groups so quiet and polite about the political issues which impinge on their cause?
Why don’t they take a chance with their own careers, and income, as so many pro-life health care professionals have been doing? If they led by example, more people would be standing up and taking personal risks to stand up for life.

Don’t forget, the supposedly non-profit, tax funded, and tax exempt planned unparenthood has been openly funding and endorsing candidates for years.

Dial 911, for another Waaaaaaaaaaaambulance call for Steve Driehaus, Abortion Supporting Dem

~ Pharmer

When FORMER Ohio Rep. Steve Driehaus lost his 2010 bid against Republican Steve Chabot, he threw a temper tantrum directed at the Susan B. Anthony list.  The latter pro-life group had put up billboards citing Driehaus for his abortion support, because he voted in favor of Obamacare.  At first Driehaus pursued a criminal charges against Marjorie Dannefelser, of the SBA list, with the Ohio Elections board.  That effort was abandoned for an attempt to turn his loss in to money with a civil defamation suit, claiming that the SBA list cost him his job.

This suit was allowed to proceed, but eventually was decided against sore loser, Driehaus, by Judge Timothy Black.   This Obama appointed Judge, a former director of planned parenthood, initially  supported Driehaus’s legal pursuits, but eventually tipped in favor of the SBA List.  Possible inducements for this decision probably included the ACLU’s  backing of  the SBA List, (and their own interests) as well as the recent Supreme Court decision of the Alvarez vs U.S. (Stolen Valor) case.

 

Tiny Anti-Gun Rally in Washington DC gets Big Coverage, While the Huge March for Life is Ignored

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Reuters carefully kept the camera angles low to conceal the fact that the Anti-gun rally on Saturday, in Washington DC was less than a hundredth of the size of the annual March for Life.   “Thousands” were said to have attended.  See for yourself by checking out their slide show HERE.   This would be considered a mandate from the people for the Obama administration.

But 40 years of THIS  happening every January in the capitol means absolutely nothing to the Obama administration and its useless media.  Check out the 2013 March for life slide show found by Bing image search.
Nothing for the media to see here.  NYT had been ignoring it for years, but published just a little bit on it this time.
Here’s a video by Rico Viqueira at ground level, which gives some views of March for Life 2013 passing through.

 

Now…….. take a look at Telegraph TV, showing you  the “1 percent” at the anti-gun rally in DC, on the day after the March for Life.

Who do you think has the ear of the Obama administration?

Record Breaking Crowds at March for Life 2013, Washington DC

‘March for Life’ rally protests abortion in Washington, DC (PHOTOS) | GlobalPost.

Hundreds of thousands gathered in the nation’s Capitol on the 40th anniversary of the Roe V Wade disaster, to protest abortion, and attend numerous educational events for pro-life activists.  Jeanne Monahan, leading the March organizers, was expecting more than the 400,000 who showed up last year, because their reserved hotel blocks sold out a month earlier this time.

Lifenews.com reports that expectations were met with more than a half million attending the rally this year, including a record breaking number from Catholic colleges from around the country.

Meanwhile, the Duggar family, which is large enough to hold protests without outside assistance, has launched a new pro-life website, offering resources to those interested in ending abortion.   It’s debut was timed to coincide with the March for Life yesterday.  Take a look HERE.     A permanent link is on the sidebar.

Mary Elizabeth Adams: Standing UP for DE-volution

~ Pharmer

So what if abortion ends life? – Salon.com.

Salon writer, Mary Elizabeth Williams, tells us that she’s tired of pro-choicers looking stupid while defending abortion.  Most of the abortion defenders have developed some odd theories (even stranger than global warming) to explain why it’s OK to kill humans prior to birth, ‘ranging from it’s not alive‘ to’ it’s not a person‘.

Williams doesn’t want membership in the non-science crowd.  She freely admits that abortion involves killing a human.   She asserts that we make decisions about killing humans all the time, and therefore a human  fetus is also worth killing for various reasons.

The point that Williams is missing??  Peace and civilization begin at home.  If we won’t stand up for the lives of our very own people,  we certainly won’t grow outward to value and protect the lives of ‘strangers’.

For Williams,  life is just a commodity, and there might be good enough reasons to kill anyone.

Do you want this short fused woman to be living in the house next door?

Are you emotionally and spiritually  “prepped” for the DE-volution of civilization that the leftists are bringing to us?

Leftists Behind the Curve as Planned Parenthood Abandons “Pro-Choice” to Designate Pro-Abortion

3rd Annual Ask Them What They Mean By “Choice” Blog Day.

Jill Stanek is coordinating pro-life Bloggers efforts on the third annual “Blog for Choice” day, which is today.  Click above or her MAIN Blog to keep abreast of the days activities.

The abortion supporters  promote the now moribund “Choice” marketing of Abortion,  though planned parenthood has abandoned it.  Casting about for alternate promotional methods, PP has abused the image and holiday of Rev. Martin Luther King, whom his niece, Dr. Althea King, says was pro-life,  for its latest campaign.

Today is your chance to un-promote all of the abortionists. You can enter the discussion online. and utilize the hashtag #tweet4choice if you are on Twitter.   This hashtag might change as the day wears on, so it pays to keep current at Jill’s blog.

As the Abortion proponents use today as a special time  to market their wares,  Pro-lifers can turn the day into a big debate.  Don’t forget to remind people that the 40th anniversary March for Life is happening on the 25th, and that the media will ignore this huge rally,  even though it will be bigger than the crowd at the second inauguration of our abortionist-in-chief.

Paul Bedard’s (Annual) Washington Secret

~ Pharmer

The Washington Examiner’s Paul Bedard clues us in on the latest Washington Secret.  This one happens every year, but flies under the radar for most lamestream media attuned Americans.

This year will be the 40th annual March for Life, on Jan 25th, and hotel reservations for that event are outpacing those for Obama’s second inauguration.  Every year hundreds of thousands of people, mostly young people and students,  show up to re-energize their efforts for the pro-life cause.  This year the event organizers are expecting record crowds and are preparing for the youth oriented event with their first-ever use of jumbotrons along the route, a 5 K race, and many accompanying educational events. Check out the website HERE.
