“The Roe V. Wade of Europe”

by GuestPoster
December 14th, 2010

An anonymous woman is suing the nation of Ireland for its strong pro-life laws which ban abortion in most circumstances.  Ireland is the country in the west with the most legal protection of the unborn.  It is also number one in maternal health (http://www.lifenews.com/2009/12/11/int-1408/) , which is a huge fly in the face to the myth that legal protection for the unborn is bad for women.

The European court of Human rights is hearing the woman’s case in which she claims that having to travel outside the country to obtain an abortion is against her rights.  Does any of this sound familiar?  The European Court has traditionally ruled in favor of unborn rights in Ireland, however if the court rules in favor of a “right to an abortion”, then all legal protection for the unborn in Europe could be overturned.

Roger Kiska, a pro-life legal counselor for the Alliance Defense Fund has stated that this could be the “Roe v. Wade of Europe.”  Please pray for our unborn brothers and sisters in Ireland, and also as a way to grow in Pro-Life philosophy, how can we respond to a common argument asserted by pro-choicers that aborting children is a “right?”

Maryland Opens to Late Term Abortion

by GuestPoster
December 9th, 2010

In Germantown Maryland, 200-300 Pro-Life activists are peacefully protesting outside a late term abortion clinic.  According to the Washington Post, there were about a dozen speakers, each denouncing LeRoy Carhart, the late term abortionist associated with the clinic.  As usual, the police are maintaining tight barriers between the protesters and the clinic.  Lets not forget that we are now terror suspects, according to homeland security.

Carhart says that he will provide elective abortions up to 24 weeks.  This rightfully has caused an uproar in the Maryland Pro-Life community, since Carhart is meant to replace Steven C. Brigham,  whose medical license was revoked due to his performance of late term abortions on New Jersey patients when he had no license to do so.

Maryland activists are saying that they do not want their home state to become a late term abortion capital in America. Here’s hoping all the best for the brave protesters.

Now a question for the readers. There have been cases in the past where Pro-lifers have been able to form friendship with the staff  and even abortionists to win them over to our side.  This happened to be the case with Norma McCorvey (Jane Roe herself) .  Should Pro-lifers in Maryland also apply this method?  And why are such stories never covered by the mainstream media but the extremely small minority of clinic attackers are?

Breast Cancer Prevention

by John-Paul
November 1st, 2010

At the closing of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I feel the need to comment on the glaring disparity between many who promote this month and the necessary movement to prevent breast cancer.

This disparity became very obvious when reading two letters published in the Chicago Daily Herald.  “Know the Facts on Breast Cancer Risks” By Karen Malec and “Cancer Prevention a Year Round Task” by Carole Brite.

Brite’s letter references prevention in the title, but then does not talk about breast cancer prevention at all. She talks about ‘preventative screenings’ but screenings do not prevent breast cancer from occurring.  Screenings look for and find, according to Brite, 9 out of 10 cases of breast cancer.  While screening for breast cancer is very important as a method of early detection, it does nothing to prevent the cancer from forming in the first place.
