What do these groups have in common? They all point out that this case is not an exception which is Planned Parenthood position, rather it is the rule. Every abortion kills a human being. Abortion cannot be regulated by law as Planned Parenthood claims while deflecting its culpability by pushing for 'safe' abortions. Abortion must be eliminated. Judie Brown comments below.<br /> <br /> Abortionist Kermit Gosnell has been convicted of three counts of first-degree murder in infant deaths and one count of manslaughter in the death of Karnamaya Mongar. He also faced 24 counts of performing abortions past Pennsylvania's 24-week gestational age, 227 counts of performing abortions without giving the woman the mandated 24-hour waiting period, and other counts involving racketeering and operating a &quot;corrupt organization.&quot;<br /> <br /> Judie Brown, president of American of Life League, the nation's oldest Catholic prolife organization, released this statement: &quot;After literally snuffing out the lives of hundreds of innocents at the very beginning of their lives, Gosnell acted to save the last few years of his own. In the end, Gosnell struck a deal asking for the mercy that he refused to the hundreds of babies he killed.<br /> <br /> The saddest part of this story is that Gosnell is not the exception; he is the rule. Each day, new reports of atrocities committed by abortionists on women and their children are being revealed across this country. Just because the media refuses to report these horrors does not mean they don't exist. Gosnell is not the problem: Refusal to recognize the immorality of abortion, whether committed in shiny offices on Main Street or in dingy clinics, only protects all the Gosnells.&quot;</span></small></big></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: smaller;"><big><small><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> God Bless, <br /> Jerry Novotny, OMI<br /> <br /> </span></small></big></span></p> <h5><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">(<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);">The Difference is LIFE</span>)<em> </em><span style="font-style: italic;">&quot;God has created me to do him some definite service; he has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another.

It teaches you to recognise your body's natural signal of fertility - cervical mucus. This animation explains the changes in cervical mucus that you may experience throughout your menstrual cycle, and how this relates to your fertility. Once you're familiar with these changes you'll be able to identify the fertile and infertile times in your cycles. You can use this information to optimise your chances of conceiving, or you can use it to avoid pregnancy naturally. It can also help you to safeguard your reproductive health because you'll learn to recognise any changes that might need early medical investigation.<br /> <br /> To learn the Billings Ovulation Method visit <a href="http://www.thebillingsovulationmethod">http://www.thebillingsovulationmethod</a>....</span></span></span></span><br /> <strong><br /> </strong></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><em> </em></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);">******************************<wbr></wbr>**********</span><u><em><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><br /> </span></strong></em></u></span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);"><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a name="1">ITEM #1:</a> <a href="http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2013/01/09/christopher-kaczors-seven-big-myths/">Christopher Kaczor's Seven Big Myths</a></span></strong></span><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);"><br /> <span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The Church hates science.

This subject deserves better than the court of political correctness, whose authority, advocates of homosexual marriage hope, will prevail until the law is voted on - a tribunal they defend by means of disqualifying caricatures against anyone who dares to question their project and their motives.</span></span></span><br /> <span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> <em><br /> </em></span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);">******************************<wbr></wbr>**********</span><br /> <u><em><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><br /> </span></strong></em></u></span><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a name="3">ITEM #3:</a></span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">&nbsp; <a href="http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/population/pc0051.htm">America's Baby Bust<br /> </a></span></strong></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The nation's falling fertility rate is the root cause of many of our problems.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /> <em><br /> </em></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);">******************************<wbr></wbr>**********</span><br /> <u><em><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><br /> </span></strong></em></u><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a name="4">ITEM #4:</a> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/guest-voices/post/how-to-reduce-abortions/2013/02/21/5a110f42-7b8e-11e2-9a75-dab0201670da_blog.html"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How to reduce abortions</span></a></span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">But assuming we don't want to focus on compromising the autonomy and dignity of women to achieve a sterile population, what approaches with wide popular support could reduce abortion, even as it remains legal under the Supreme Court's decisions?</span><br /> <span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);">******************************<wbr></wbr>**********</span><br /> <u><em><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><br /> </span></strong></em></u><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a name="5">ITEM #5:</a> <a href="http://rt.com/usa/gay-rights-puerto-rico-167/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hundreds of thousands march in Puerto Rico against gay rights</span></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /> </span></span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">More than 200,000 religious Christians marched against gay rights in Puerto Rico on Monday in the largest such demonstration in the history of the US commonwealth.</span></p> <p><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);">******************************<wbr></wbr>**********</span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a name="6">ITEM #6:</a> <a href="http://lifeissues.net/writers/irv/irv_212accurateresources1.html"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">FERTILIZATION and IMPLANTATION of the Early Human Embryo: Accurate Scientific Resources </span><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">by Dr. Dianne Irving, Ph.D.</span></span></a></span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">When and how did you begin to exist?

The programs blatantly target minority students and are being funded with taxpayer dollars. &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp;<br /> Planned Parenthood's latest foray into coercion is surfacing in Florida, where African American teens as young as 14 are paid cash incentives to attend its SIHLE &quot;empowerment&quot; programs. SIHLE is an acronym for Sistas Informing, Healing, Living, and Empowering. In addition to cash, there is music, partying, chatting, and the opportunity to belong to a &quot;family.&quot; To be a part of the family, though, teens must live in targeted zip codes referenced on the website-zip codes 32808, 32811, 32818, 32835 and 32839.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> <em>Read more</em> <a href="http://www.stopp.org/article.php?id=11830">here</a>. <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><strong>Lurking in the shadows: Planned Parenthood 'rights' destroy society</strong></span> It should come as no surprise to anyone that there now arises a cry for contraception and other &quot;<a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001q-L883A9BrQD2-vr3NW9J_8YJmOyRiLoD9QGHBbhktPxNteBRr0-u1kiBG131siqWFbiGjYCq8GA1yukNe_IOBxqgzRjU6k1c-PTz1PG0XfPVTfDvGFHynI8KmsGxilOykenw5kVtE7WlFjYxCBtRA==">sexual rights</a>&quot; to be recognized, provided, and enforced as <a href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001q-L883A9BrRcoqfKpDSAxVAVxUG2mvGH3g2kTgyKlN7tiT_IABlzn7qK9mpc6NDEdCYydzGYxlNkFp9_jneBPqiT4mWszZMMXwopL2oDsipmtalEjNHa7UdXdzCwuST_t_bh6iIcxYfnKQ8eKFZi0A==">basic human rights</a>.

Victims of rape or sexual abuse need and deserve the best medical care and human support possible. The additional stress and health risks of emergency contraception add further harm.

At best, they'll use the word &quot;fetus.&quot; But often used are dehumanizing phrases such as &quot;clump of tissue&quot; or &quot;product of conception,&quot; used specifically to mask the fact that the mother will be killing her child. Giving false medical information is another common tactic. And it's all designed to rob the unborn baby of his or her inherent humanity.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);"><br /> <span style="background-color: rgb(153, 204, 255);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"><em><strong>*****************************</strong></em></span></span><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"><em><strong><wbr></wbr></strong></em></span></span></span></span></p> <p><br /> <strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">YOU CAN CHANGE SOCIETY:</span></strong><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /> <br /> <strong>1. </strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 102);"><em><strong>BE INFORMED:</strong></em></span> &quot;My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.&quot; Hosea 4:6.

Turkey's government is very conservative on the abortion issue and is now trying to lower the age in which abortions are legal from 12 weeks to 4 weeks. This has caused substantial opposition among pro-abortion women's groups, and there have been a number of marches and public displays by pro-abortion female groups. Abortion had been legal since 1983 until ten weeks. In recent years secular parties who had favored this law have been increasingly opposed by more rigid Muslim religious groups.<br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><strong>Britain - 123 IVF Babies Die:</strong></span> A report in the Daily Mail tells us that the British Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority has reported that over the last five years 123 in-vitro fertilization babies were aborted because the babies had been found to have Down syndrome.

Let's examine some of the common words and phrases that can be expressed in ways that will either minimize or emphasize the humanity of the unborn.</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /> </span><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><em><br /> </em></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);">******************************<wbr></wbr>**********</span><br /> <u><em><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><br /> </span></strong></em></u><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a name="10">ITEM #10:</a> <a href="http://canonlawblog.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/a-primer-on-church-teaching-regarding-same-sex-marriage/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A primer on Church teaching regarding 'same-sex marriage'</span></a></span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">No matter which way the US Supreme Court rules in the &quot;gay marriage&quot; cases before it the international debate over the definition of marriage will continue because that debate is, at root, about matters beyond a civil court's competence, things like the nature of human beings and the fundamental good of society. Because we Catholics are and will surely remain major participants in such a debate we should be clear among ourselves as to what our Church teaches in this area.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><em> </em></span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);">******************************<wbr></wbr>**********</span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a name="11">ITEM #11:</a> </span></strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><strong><a href="http://www.lifeissues.net/writers/reis/reis_39unreportedsexcrimes.html">Kinsey's Junk Science and Other Unreported Sex Crimes</a></strong></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">[<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><strong>Note:</strong></span> I recommend Reisman's <a href="http://lifeissues.net/writer.php?writerID=336"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);"><strong>excellent articles</strong></span></a> on homosexuality and related issues listed below. One problem is that there is zero accountability for falsifying data -- data of any kind. &quot;Professional&quot; societies used to do a good job of monitoring and banning fraud within their professions -- no more. How many &quot;scientists&quot; have duly testified before Congress over and over again that human beings do not begin to exist until implantation or later, when it has been empirically known since at least 1942 (even earlier) when the Carnegie Stages were institutionalized around the world that such &quot;junk science&quot; blatantly contradicts established empirical fact? Or that &quot;pregnancy&quot; always begins at implantation? Or that the use of genetically engineered DNA (from insect bug guts) in our food is not harmful? Etc. Maybe it's Congress -- or any other federal body that buys into scientific fraud -- that needs to be investigated.</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> -- Dianne N Irving, Ph.D.</span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">]</span></p> <em><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);">******************************<wbr></wbr>**********</span></em> <p><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a name="12">ITEM #12:</a> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a href="http://liveactionnews.org/if-pro-choicers-really-believed-in-science/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If pro-choicers REALLY believed in science...</span></a></span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Just because believe that life... all human life is worthy of protection at every stage in its development does not make you a chauvinist.

pleasure and bonding, that its potential for creating life was purely tangential, almost to the point of being forgotten about altogether.

Her words struck me like lightning: &quot;I saw sex as being closed to the possibility of life by default, I thought of pregnancies that weren't planned as akin to being struck by lightning while walking down the street.&quot;<br /> <br /> I had struggled with unanswered questions for decades. After reading her words, three things became very clear to me:<br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><strong>1. Planned Parenthood's persistent, early sex education - where almost anything goes as long as we protect ourselves from the blight of babies - has warped the understanding of the very meaning and purpose of human sexuality for an entire generation and for our society. Sex, which by nature is life-giving, is closed to the possibility of life by default.<br /> <br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2.

Its sole purpose was abortion - to end the life of a preborn child. NOTE: RU-486 should not be confused with the &quot;morning after pill,&quot; also known as 'Plan B' or 'Ella'. The &quot;morning after pill&quot; is designed to prevent pregnancy. It is taken within 3 - 5 days after unprotected sex.

If the latter, this is likely due in part to the appearance that genderless marriage has gained widespread political support over the past decade. But we should take note that the drift towards genderless marriage has had nothing to do with real debate.

Sedating a patient into death would be approved methods of health &quot;care!&quot;<br /> <br /> They consider &quot;mercy&quot; to be killing, not caring, and killing is honoring &quot;non-abandonment&quot; of the patient, rather than the most perverse and worst form of abandonment.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2013/03/26/liberal-euthanasia-activists-redfining-sedation-into-killing/">See article here</a>.

The North Dakota House of Representatives passed SCR 4009 by a vote of 57-35. The measure passed the State Senate earlier in February and will now be referred to the people of North Dakota for a popular vote in November 2014. The amendment states, &quot;The inalienable right to life of every human being at any stage of development must be recognized and protected.&quot; Matt Sande, Pro-Life Wisconsin's legislative director, offered the following comments:<br /> &nbsp;<br /> &quot;We commend the North Dakota Legislature for the courage of their convictions in passing the first personhood amendment in the history of the United States. By extending the equal protection of the law to all preborn children from conception, North Dakota is on its way to being the first state in our country to ban surgical abortion without exception. The broad coalitional force that backed the amendment - North Dakota Family Alliance, North Dakota Right to Life, Concerned Women for America North Dakota, North Dakota Life League, North Dakota Catholic Conference, and Personhood North Dakota - is something to be emulated in other states advancing personhood amendments. May God bless North Dakota and her preborn children.&quot;</span></small></big></span> <p><span style="font-size: smaller;"><big><small><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> God Bless, <br /> Jerry Novotny, OMI<br /> <br /> </span></small></big></span></p> <h5><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">(<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><u>The Difference is LIFE</u></span>)<em> &quot;I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen, not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.&quot; - C.S.

So now surrogates are offered money not just to carry children but to abort them.

An outspoken eugenicist herself, Sanger consistently promoted racist ideals with a contemptuous attitude. Read on to learn why Planned Parenthood hides behind a false memory of Sanger, and why, despite her extraordinarily prolific writing career, one rarely sees her quoted by Planned Parenthood leaders and apologists. eg.The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /> </span></span><span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 102);">******************************<wbr></wbr>**********</span><br /> <u><em><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><br /> </span></strong></em></u><strong><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><a name="5">ITEM #5:</a> <a href="http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/a-warped-worldview-another-moral-effect-of-pornography?utm_source=LifeSiteNews.com+Daily+Newsletter&amp;utm_campaign=ab2b1e356e-LifeSiteNews_com_Intl_Headlines_03_04_2013&amp;utm_medium=email"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A warped worldview: another moral effect of pornography</span></a><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /> </span></span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The moral effects of pornography are, by now, well attested.

Kunc was <a href="http://alexschadenberg.blogspot.ca/2013/03/media-release-epc-wants-bc-court-of.html">speaking on behalf of EPC</a> - BC at the demonstration. <br /> <br /> CBC interviewed Norman at the demonstration. <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/story/2013/03/04/bc-assisted-suicide-appeal-postponed.html">There is a video interview, with Kunc, linked to the CBC news article from March 4</a>.<br /> <br /> While at the demonstration, Kunc explained that he struck up a conversation with a woman who was attending the pro-euthanasia demonstration that was happening at the same time. <br /> <br /> After he got home, Kunc wrote down his thoughts related to the conversation and then created the video &quot;Euthanasia at the water cooler&quot; as a representation of that conversation.<br /> <br /> We are looking forward to more productions by Norman Kunc.</span></small></big></span> <p><span style="font-size: smaller;"><big><small><span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> God Bless, <br /> Jerry Novotny, OMI<br /> <br /> </span></small></big></span></p> <h5><strong><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">(<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><u>The Difference is LIFE</u></span>)<em> &quot;We live in a society in which it seems that every space, every moment must be 'filled' with initiatives, activity, sound; often there is not even time to listen and dialogue...
