Judge throws out Charges against Pro-lifer, Peter D’Attilio

~ Pharmer ~ 1 Comment

Criminal charges against pro-life activist Peter D’Attilio thrown out by judge.

Mass Resistance has been covering the arrest and prosecution of Peter D’Attilio, for the horrible crime of passing out pro-life bookmarks  at a Catholic fair in Franklin MA. Judge Steven Ostrach, of Wrentham District Court has thrown out the charges and berated the prosecutor for pursuing the case.

You will find the police report most amusing, as it is interspersed with comments from D’Attilio,  who appears to be a disciplined activist with a very orderly mind.

Thomas More Law Center is planning a civil rights lawsuit as a response to the false arrest, and six month delay of the court hearing.

Mass resistance reports that the ATF is now monitoring Peter D’Attilio for the horrible crime of passing out pro-life information. Pharmer guesses that the ATF thinks this guy who opposes killing, is a terrorist.  They have a duty to monitor bookmark distribution, similar to the duty of the TSA to check the underpants of toddlers for bombs.

LifeNews Petition to Stop Pro-Abortion Mandate

Petitionwire.com – Tell Obama: Stop This Pro-Abortion Mandate.

Click above to participate.

Pharmer took the opportunity to drop a letter at the White House site. It’s blunt, to the point, and written in the most plain language possible. The text is below:

Regarding the birth control, abortifacient meds, sterilization mandate:
I understand that now the First Amendment rights of all pro-life insurance company owners/employees will be violated, as well as all subscribers, including the churches and religious institutions. It’s just as Unconstitutional as the first mandate.

Long ago I knew this would happen with Democrats in control. Couldn’t convince the “faithful” then, but at least it’s easier now.
Health care professionals are being coerced to participate in abortion. The next step is to coerce women to abort, according to government’s demographic requirements.
Incidentally, Muslims are now the ones protecting conscience rights against abortion in Europe.

Planned Parenthood does not launder that much money for democrat elections. Surely, in 2008, more $ came from outside the U.S..
You guys work cheap.

*David Axelrod already had this email address in 2009 and surely there is no need repeat it in your collection. I hate spam.

Santorum’s Support of Arlen Specter – Pro-life Maneuvering?

~ Pharmer

Playing pro-life political chess – Jill Stanek.

Joel Brind tells the story of  Rick Santorum’s support of Arlen Specter, which many pro-life people thought was a terrible mistake, or a  betrayal.

According to Brind, there was a  story behind the story, and a driving need to keep a Republican senate majority in order to get Bush’s Supreme Court nominees through the Judiciary committee.

The strategic thinking at the time was that pro-lifer Pat Toomey could not carry the election  if he had beaten Specter in the primary, and the Dems could have taken a majority in the Senate.  Santorum’s endorsement was part of a trade with Specter for his promise  to behave himself as head of the Judiciary Committee, and do the job Bush needed him to do.

Brind credits this maneuvering for the placement of Justices Roberts and Alito.   Check that story for yourself and see what you think.

Why Do Prolifers Focus On Planned Parenthood

~ Pharmer

Planned Parenthood: Roe Dying, Sex-Selection Abortions OK | LifeNews.com.

“The Sky is falling on Roe v Wade”, says Casey Martin, director of Southern Finger Lakes region.

The above article ponders why is planned parenthood the main target of pro-life legal and political efforts. Is it just because it’s the largest U.S. chain of abortion mills? Pro-lifers cite the abortion provider’s attacks on them, claiming that they want to control the sexuality of poor people, etcetera.

What the above article missed is the Main Attack Planned Parenthood has launched on those who choose not to kill. For decades they have pursued a political program to force us to participate in their killing agenda. Planned parenthood has worked tirelessly to force us to pay for it with taxes, force us cover it with health insurance, and force health care professionals to participate in it. They have persistently opposed health care professionals’ right NOT to kill humans. They have lobbied tirelessly to include abortion as an obligate part of health care, tied to medicare and medicaid funding. They are behind the Obama-Sebelius actions against states who wish to defund planned parenthood. Obama has tied the care of the sick and the elderly to the provision of abortion services with tax payer dollars.

This is why Planned Parenthood has been and remains a main target of pro-life political action.

Feel free to join the party. If you tweet,  add #tweet4choice to your effort.  Use your facebook or similar accounts too!  It’s good clean fun, and will drive  NARAL nutz.

Abortion Clinics Tour

~ Pharmer

Troy Newman and Mark Crutcher toured a Wichita abortion clinic which had been bought out by Operation Rescue. It closed at the time of the buyout, and the tour in this video occurred a couple weeks later, in August 2006. Though the clinic was certified as being compliant with National Abortion Federation standards in 2005, by 2006 it was in bad shape.

warning: induction abortions at the end.

In the UK the peak abortion season is about to start. Sunderland and South Tynside’s clinics are preparing for the rush in mid February that comes as a result of holiday “festivities”.

Indiana State Legislation Aims to Protect Conscientious Heath Care Workers

~ Pharmer

Introduced Version, House Bill 1228.

Click above to read House Bill 1228 in its entirety. This constitutes an effort to protect the health care workers who wish not to participate in abortion.

All citizens should be interested in this bill because it also protects the CHOICE of a woman to not get an abortion.

Once Obama-care sets in, there will be considerable coercive forces for a woman to abort in the case of untoward fetal diagnosis and various other economic reasons.

Freedom of choice for health care professionals is a line of protection for the freedom of choice by patients.

Even people who wish for abortion to be available, but not COERCED should be supporting the right of health care professionals to opt out.

Perils of Government Funded Catholic Schools

Catholic school principal fired for promoting 40 Days for Life fights back with statement | LifeSiteNews.com.

Because of the government funding of Catholic schools,  the Archdiocese of  St Boniface had to fire a principal at Christ the King elementary school.   David Hood lost his position for encouraging the students to participate in the 40 Days for Life prayer vigil. One wonders if David Bereit and company could suggest legal help for Mr. Hood.

The school in Manitoba, Canada is 50 percent funded by the government, and therefore is a dependent ward of the state.  The funding is forfeited for participating in political activity.   The pro-aborts of Canada categorize abortion as politics in order to suppress free speech on the matter.   At issue is a claim that student service credit was to be offered for students who participated in the prayer vigil.   Hood says that no student received such credit.

Naturally  the Canadian Catholic Church, as a ward of the government is not free to  teach its students that abortion is wrong, or  that it is a thing to be opposed.

Catholic schools in the U.S. are accepting government grants, and to the extent that they receive this money, their activities and teachings are  similarly curtailed.
