Theo's story about 'kissing his baby goodbye'
Theo Purington gives his history as his girlfriend had an abortion against his wishes, after getting advice on campus at Boston College from the nursing staff. Many colleges counsel young women into abortion as a 'solution' to pregnancy, not realizing that they're causing them to only compound their problems. A baby is never the 'problem' to solve, and in the most recent issue of the MCFL News you can read about another local university's resources and help offered to female students in such situations.

Dinosaur Extinction and Baby Extinction
So, this pretty well speaks for itself I suppose. Image links to a higher quality version.

Handouts for pro-life outreach
I made a handout, below, for use in pro-life outreach efforts to young adults at risk of abortion. It's designed to be printed on black and white, cut twice and creating three little flyers for use on public streets to be put on cars, handed out one-by-one.
Also
in Photoshop in case you wanted it. The fonts I used were Arial and
N.O.Movement.

Obama as Leviathan
I made
this Obama Leviathan graphic, both with graphic images and
without, based on this
infamous cover to Thomas Hobbes' classic work,
The Leviathan. Alas, the only consistent comment from friends seems to be that they don't initially see 'it' and then when they do I don't hear anything further.

History of Abortion: 19th century pro-lifers
Dr. Horatio Storer was the founder of American gynecology and was a tireless pro-life advocate. His book, "
Why Not?", and whose biography is
here. Patrick tipped me off to this, and pointed out that as a Bay Stater, he ought to be eventually memorialized somehow.

Delaying children because of the economy
Considering that so much of the economy is perception, and the media has hit a constant drumbeat of pessimism, one feels lucky that there are any children running around at all. But this
bad story about declining birthrates,
coupled with Nancy Pelosi's idiocy that birth control promotes economic growth shows that people forget the economy isn't driven by robots or equipment, but by people: their innovation, ideas, hard work, labor, time, capital and training. The economy is a word that reflects the collective work of millions of people, and when we abort people away, when we contracept future generations and children, we artificially constrict our economy and our progress. Society thrives on children, on workers, on artists and engineers: on the 'unwanted' kid who works hard and raises a nice family and works his hands to the bone to make a good life for himself. Why have we forgotten that it is great to be alive, and great to be with people? Our resources are infinite if we continue to unleash the potential God gave man through reason, time and the many resources abundant all over.

Pardon Rudolph!
As further evidence of how exceedingly mediocre this President is, this topic will cause more outrage among friends than
Bill Ayers did for those on the left.
Eric Robert Rudolph conducted a one-man bombing campaign for political purposes in the 90s. He was captured and now resides in the Federal Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. Rudolph's bombings, most notably the 1996 Olympic games, killed two. William Ayers
founded and led an entire movement that killed scores more.
Ayers himself is responsible for at least one, and has never spent a day in prison. I would even entertain the concept of some false duality whereby both Ayers and Rudolph were jointly pardoned, as confused and misguided political reactionaries who now disavow their terrorist past, but oh wait, Ayers isn't sorry for his crimes and said he didn't do enough. Regardless, it shows the intellectual cowardice of the right that in its closing moments of power, for at least four years, this issue isn't even on the radar. It also helps that the left-wing donor class is more attuned to making sure that traitors like
Marc Rich are let go, and their monied interests are outraged when pardons aren't issued for those who kill federal agents such as
Leonard Peltier. If Bill Ayers can walk free, then it is a moral outrage that Rudolph is in prison for the rest of his life.

When Social Scientists Lie: Covering up Abortion Reductions
A group "Catholics in Alliance" has joined a variety of pro-Obama enablers to argue that 'social justice' issues are the strongest ways to reduce the incidence of abortion in America. In general, as a broad abstraction, they may be correct. More directly, and more provable, however, is that sensible pro-life state-level restrictions have had an effect on reducing the abortion rate in the country. This is timely because President-elect Obama has promised to make FOCA (The Freedom of Choice Act) his first action upon seizing the Presidency. FOCA will overturn every state-level abortion restriction in the country. Therefore, this issue of what has truly caused the real reductions in abortion is a very charged one.
Joseph Wright attempts to critique Prof. Michael New's studies showing that state-level laws work. Wright fails miserably, and
Dr. New easily dissect Wright's sloppiness and shoddy reasoning. At some point one has to acknowledge that these are not reasonable and rational differences, they are not preferences, rather they are the systemic and deliberate misconstructions of those who seek to increase the number of abortions in the country by enabling a man who will remove everything that has successfully reduced abortion. Because they fight with words makes them no less evil.

Actions to end abortion
I was somewhat remiss in feeling that I was detached or removed from the effort to reduce the number of abortions in the country, and so it was with some joy that I stumbled across the always wonderful
Fr. Frank Pavone's fine list at Priests for Life of what individuals can do to end the abortion horror.

$35 trillion dollars worth of "choices"
Since 1970,
researchers estimate that abortion has cost $35 trillion to the economy. When you consider the senseless slaughter of millions, and the lives that those children would have had... the many researchers, chemists, lawyers, doctors, mothers, fathers, teachers, construction workers, bankers, soldiers, nurses... you start to realize what abortion-on-demand has done just in economic terms. The spiritual costs, the mental and emotional costs, I would guess, are much larger than the sticker shock on the $35 trillion number. We will never know how much pain this innocent slaughter has cost us.

The limits to my anger at Republicans
As much as I want to support the Democrats, and as much as the Republicans give me no room for hope that they'll ever get serious about implementing real change at least they're not avowed baby killers. I know some conservatives who have gone so far as to opine about the potential benefits of an Obama Presidency, but consider
these recent insane comments by Nancy Pelosi on abortion, which are clearly a lie. As well, Obama's
refusal to support the Born Alive Infant's Protection Act as reported by the amazing
Jill Stanek. Certainly we can know that these people, the people who would support these things, are never worth associating with until they change their positions. Jill recently posted
the video from a 2000 O'Reilly interview which outlined what the Infant Protection Act would prevent, which really demonstrates how far gone the Democrats have become.

Obama's Infanticide Votes
We live on borrowed time. Abortion in this country is so depraved that it's killing children outside of the womb, and our "leaders" are justifying the madness and not working for truth. God bless Rick Warren for giving the candidates the chance to confront the slaughter in our midst, though it's worth pointing out that McCain's answer indicts
himself and the slaughter of the unborn embryos lost to "science." It's interesting that his campaign site is
trying hard to hide this fact.
Jill Stanek's fabulous blog, my favorite one in the pro-life movement, has been covering this scandal and covering it perfectly.

Obama's Abortion Hypocrisy and outright lies
On the only real political issue: abortion, Obama couldn't have less leadership or principles. Outside of the fact that
he lies about his opposition to the Born-Alive act, or
deflects the most basic abortion question,
he now claims that abortions haven't gone down under Bush,
erroneously. Not to mention that
he's wrong, or that
Dr. Michael New shows what really reduces abortion rates, the media fails to point out that, if this is true, it represents the failure of both Emergency Contraceptives and RU-486, both legalized and highly promoted within that time frame, to reduce the abortion rate as promised. The hypocrisy is amazing. I guess facts, truth and logic are above Obama's "pay grade" as well. As someone not paid at all for this, it's not above mine.

Pro-life courage in Canada
A priest in Canada has
renounced his "Order of Canada" award because this year it is being given to a noted abortionist. This priest did so knowing that some past, frivolous, criminal charges would come up against him. Here is a man of courage, a man unmoved by consequence to do what is right. Canada has no shortage of courageous men willing to challenge the slaughter of the innocents,
David Little has declared that his tax-paying days are over as long as the government finances the death of little ones. Rarely does one note Canadian activism, much less pro-life activism, but here are two strong examples of truth and justice over lies. The left has infected major institutions and managed to wreck everything virtuous and true, and these men are willing to stand up. May they be an inspiration to more people, myself included.
