Briton Sues NHS for Firing Her Over Her Pro-Life Views | LifeNews.com.

Margaret Forrester, a psychological wellbeing practitioner with the Central and North West London NHS Trust, has filed suit against her employer for breaching her freedom of religion and freedom of speach. Mrs. Forrester was disciplined and suspended after an informal conversation with a colleague during which she presented a booklet and her views that abortion adversely affects the physical and mental health of women.

Mrs. Forrester, a Roman Catholic, is represented by the Thomas More Legal Centre. One of their spokespersons is wondering why the NHS objects to a discussion of abortion among their health service professionals: “If the NHS is not willing to allow the effects of Abortion to be discussed by NHS staff it raises a real question as to what the NHS is afraid of.”

Utah School Board Says Cougar Mascot Too Offensive To Women « CBS Las Vegas.

The Corner Canyon High School  (Draper, Utah)  students preferred their school mascot to be the COUGAR.  But Principal Mary Bailey nixed the idea,  as did the school board.

Bailey found the cougar to be too disrespectful to….. middle aged women.  😉  due to it’s popular connotation.

Perhaps  school administrators are also sensitized due to newsworthy  incidents of female teachers chasing after the high school boys.  Hmmmmmm?

 

Apple Rejects Manhatten Declaration App. A Financial Issue

Baptist Press – ‘Appalling’: Apple again rejects iPhone Christian ‘app’ – News with a Christian Perspective.

Apple has a need to address the encroaching competition from the Droid series of smart phones, hence the projected Feb 23 launch of iPhones with Verizon.

Recently the gay-sex community has pressured Apple into rejecting the Manhattan Declaration app, which it had originally accepted as containing no objectionable content.

Many gays find the Biblical restrictions on sexual activity  to be offensive, and Apple has  complied with their demands.   The Manhattan app has been resubmitted with 47,000 signatories petitioning for its distribution, and rejected a second time.

The Android operating system and Droid Line of phones work just fine, and supports  many thousands  of great apps.   The most significant app producers are using both platforms for their wares.   Android’s platform is open source,  and  more accessible to programmers.

Pharmer operates the original Droid, and more than one Ipod touch, and is fairly familiar with both markets.

If you subscribe to the Christian teachings on the issues of the sanctity of human life and its generation,  you might wish to  let Apple know that you’ll stick with your Droid, unless they cease their  specific suppression of Christian teaching on these issues, while continuing to host opposing viewpoints.
