Remember............

Please take time today as you grill out your burgers and dogs to remember what this day is truly about. This is a day to reflect on those that risked their dreams for a cause much greater than themselves. Many gave all their tomorrows for our today. We enjoy a life the world envies. We take for granted our freedoms.

The mere right for us to speak freely, to dissent, to blog.... many died for, many were mamed for. Men never saw their children. Children never knew their fathers. Mothers' arms ached, still ache.

The City of Liquid Nitrogen

Anne Morse, in a NationalReviewOnline feature, tells us about a vast population of human beings that are known to exist by only a few people. The estimated 400,000 people is about the same number of people in Omaha, NE where I live. But the undiscovered do not enjoy the sun and fresh air of my temperate climate. Instead they live in liquid nitrogen tanks; cryogenically frozen for later use in experiments, harvested for parts, or in a few instances, allowed to mature into "normal" human beings and walk the face of God's great earth.

We grow these humans much as we would sorghum, and we treat them with less dignity. The Culture of Death has now become engaged in the practice of both creation and destruction. Perhaps evil has bounds beyond our imagination.

I certainly respect Anne Morse; her story celebrates the victory of those who survive. I, however, remain depressed by the plight of those who do not.

Bucks For Dead Babies

In a stomach-twisting exposé, Joseph Farah has again shined the light of fundamental morality on the Culture of Death. A brilliantly written commentary in WorldNetDaily explains how women in former Soviet Republics are being paid about $200 to have an abortion and turn over their baby. These babies are then resold for about $9,000 each for use in the manufacture of "youth injection" beauty treatments.

This is the kissin' cousin to the practice of encouraging quick (and often unnecessary) death to the injured so that their organs may be harvested by hospitals for profit here in the good old United States of America.

Planned Parenthood Teaches 8th Graders the Art of Saran Wrap Sex?

OH, FOR PETE'S SAKE!

Saran Wrap for ‘Safe’ Teen Sex?

Janice Shaw Crouse

May 24, 2005


Years ago, the whole country got a laugh out of The Total Woman’s recommendation that wives occasionally spice things up by greeting their husbands wrapped only in Saran Wrap –– the clear, flexible plastic film meant to cover food in the refrigerator.

Today, right-thinking adults should be outraged by the recommendation in the latest “comprehensive” sex-education materials from Planned Parenthood that, for “safe” sex, 8th graders should use Saran Wrap as “protection” when engaging in oral and anal sex.

Excuse me! How did we get to the point where it must be assumed that 8th graders are going to be “performing” oral and anal sex and we have to equip them to do it “safely”? This wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that the sex education lobby — in its supposed superior wisdom — has been pushing to strip kids as young as kindergarten age of their innocence by insisting that they be taught about every kind of deviant sexual practice long before they are emotionally ready for such information.

Why in heaven’s name should teachers be providing curious 8th graders with ever more detailed information that is bound to encourage the more adventurous or emotionally needy ones to experiment sexually? Why talk about oral and anal sex to children, period? The unspoken purpose is clear and has the fingerprints of the gay lobby and NAMBLA all over it. The FBI publishes A Parent’s Guide to the Internet. Note well how it describes the modus operandi of pedophiles: “These individuals attempt to gradually lower children's inhibitions by slowly introducing sexual context and content into their conversations.” And millions of parents are letting so-called sex-education experts do exactly this to their children in the classroom without raising any objection. Unbelievable!

Read it ALL!

And then there is a similar article by Michelle Malkin, describing the book Rainbow Party, by juvenile fiction author Paul Ruditis. The publisher is Simon Pulse, a kiddie lit division of the esteemed Simon & Schuster. The cover of the book features the title spelled out in fun, Crayola-bright font. Beneath the title is an illustrated array of lipsticks in bold colors.

A "rainbow party," you see, is a gathering of boys and girls for the purpose of engaging in group oral sex. Each girl wears a different colored lipstick and leaves a mark on each boy. At night's end, the boys proudly sport their own cosmetically sealed rainbow you-know-where – bringing a whole new meaning to the concept of "party favors."

Filibuster Chat

First off, sorry I have been "away" for a while. Thanks for all of your emails and concern. I am truly BLESSED!

The "Filibuster" issue has been enough to make ALL OF US want to puke- no matter which side you come down on.

What happen to the PEOPLE having the power in this country? "Minority rights" has NOTHING to do with MAJORITY RULES in legislation. The LOSERS of elections are just that- the LOSERS! This is why voting and elections are SO important. At this point- it leaves the most dedicated mumbling and asking themselves- WHY BOTHER? Our Constitution has been TRAMPLED by judges for YEARS! NO- DECADES! Now it is being trampled by our ELECTED OFFICIALS. I am SICK of it.

Our judges tell our juries that they MUST find a person guilty if they believe the defendant broke the law, even if they disagree with the law. NOT TRUE! Our judges no longer look to the Constitution to determine findings, but rather look for ANY AVAILABLE MENTAL HOOP to JUSTIFY THEIR OWN AGENDA. NOW- the SENATE has started the same practice. The Constitution and Will of the People have become OBSTACLES in a movement to CHANGE the United States, not preserve it.

I decided to email Senator Frist and urge him to force the team of dwarfs that decided to try and disenfranchise the American Voters to take a stand and vote. Their "deal" does NOT represent the WILL OF THE PEOPLE. It is time to stand up before we lose our voice in Congress.

A related pièce de résistance by Ben Shapiro outlines the winners and losers in this pie-throwing fiasco. A worthwhile editorial, indeed (¶ RWNJ).

Did John Kerry Sign Form 180?

As explained by an article in WorldNetDaily, John Kerry claims to have signed the Standard Form 180 and that it will be sent to the Navy within a few days. Of course, in his normal upfront and straightforward manner, Senator Kerry added that his staff is ''still going through it" and ''very, very shortly, you will have a chance to see it." This is according to Boston Globe columnist Joan Vennochi.

See what? His military record or the Form 180?

The pondering should prove exciting. Oh, what will we use to replace the banner at the top of this blogsite? Maybe we should just wait to see whether Mr. Kerry really does send the form to the Navy, as he promised again. I think he will not. After all, he is a politician, so he is already predisposed to deceive us. But, I have been wrong before . . . there was this time back in 1956 . . . well, never mind.

Swamp Muck Is Thicker Than Blood

The Empire Journal reports continuing evidence of the good old boy relationships among the various, should I say nefarious, judicial participants in the murder of Terri Schiavo. It seems that now the Honorable U.S. District Court Judge James Whittemore is not so honorable after all.

Whittemore was hip deep in the swamp relationships with George Felos and his ex-wife, the former Constance McCaughey, who had earlier represented Michael Schiavo. McCaughey had not only known Whittemore, but was a member of the judicial nominating commission that recommended him for his judicial position on the 13th Judicial Circuit Court of Hillsborough County where he served until he was nominated by President Clinton for the Middle District of Florida in 1999 and confirmed.

Elderly are helped to die to clear beds, claims doctor

Elderly are helped to die to clear beds, claims doctor

The callous treatment of the elderly in NHS hospitals has been exposed by a doctor who claims patients are denied life-saving treatment, are grossly neglected and are given drugs which hasten death.

Rita Pal, 28, a junior doctor, was so disturbed by her experiences that she is leaving the profession. This week she will submit a dossier to the General Medical Council (GMC) detailing the cases of abuse that she saw.

"I have witnessed doctors who want to keep beds clear by withdrawing treatment or actively assisting in death to the point where it becomes involuntary euthanasia," she said. She wants the government to set up an independent inquiry. Among the cases which Pal witnessed were:

# A doctor who ordered the withdrawal of life-saving medication of a dying patient after stating that the hospital needed beds.

# A diabetic patient in her nineties who was deprived of basic medical attention after a nurse commented, "She will die anyway."

# Critically ill patients whose lives were cut short after being given "unnecessary" doses of diamorphine, which is commonly known as heroin.

# A doctor who, when told about a patient dying from a liver complaint, said, "Well, he is over 60", and made no effort to administer medical attention.

Pal, from Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, trained at University College London. She joined North Staffordshire hospital in 1998 and worked on two general medical wards - each with about 40 patients. In her first month, a senior doctor ordered the medication to be withdrawn from an 89-year-old stroke victim who was critically ill and could not speak because he had a plastic tube down his throat.

"This man was actually conscious and could hear us," said Pal. "The doctor said, 'We need the bed - stop all his medication'. He obviously didn't think he was going to live. I thought: we are killing someone because we want the beds......

Choose Life- Debate in Ohio!

Debate Continues Over 'Choose Life' License Plates

Plates Are Now For Sale

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Starting Wednesday, Ohioans could begin buying a license plate that promotes adoption, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported.

The "Choose Life" message on the Ohio license plate has angered pro-choice advocates who are suing the state for not giving them a voice.

Some are worried that the new specialty plates will become as political as bumper stickers.

"The cause of adoption, with the inherent life message, takes it to a different area than we've ever been before," said Fred Stratmann, of the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Anti-abortion activist Ed Nicholson, of Future For Life, said the new plates "encourage others to not take the life of unborn children."

The ACLU and a reproductive rights group are suing the state for "viewpoint discrimination." They say lawmakers rejected an amendment to create a pro-choice plate.....

God Calls Mae To His Kingdom

Ken Mullinax has made the following request,
"Please post anywhere so all our friends who love life may know of Mae Magouirk's passing on to salvaltion and reward by God's hand and not by the hand of man!"

Mae Magouirk died this morning at the Bryan Nursing Home in LaGrange Ga. of a stroke. Her vital signs had been causing concern since last Wednesday and by Sunday, an apparent stroke hit her, causing her difficulty to speak, her BP was only 60/30 and by this morning she died surrounded by family.

She was 81 years old.

Since the friends of Terri and the readers of World Net Daily and Glenn Beck had helped save her from starvation, she had responded to treatment by the University of Alabama Medical Center doctors , had then been transferred for convalescent treatment at the Bryan Nursing Home in LaGrange, Ga where her church family had surrounded her after learning of her ordeal in the media and from her Alabama family.

Although she was cognizant, speaking, sitting up, eating-drinking and communicating until her last day alive, her family had decided not to tell her of the terrible ordeal she had endured at Hospice LaGrange until she had been discharged from the nursing home. She was spared this final pain by GOD.

We, her closest living next of kin, her Alabama family feel Mae was blessed to have died without being thirsty and having food in her stomach..we thank God for moving all the people of the United States for their phone calls, prayers and active participation in saving her
life!

We encourage any of the friends of Terri, radio listeners or readers to show our Aunt Mae and Ga. relations how much you cherish life by sending cards and flowers to the funeral home or church.

Her arrangements are:
Visitation:
On Tuesday between 6:00 -8:00PM EST
Hunter, Allen, MayHand Funeral Home

Thanks Sarah Foster for caring and WorldNetDaily for helping save Mae for God's divine fate and not man's hand!

Elderly Mistreated as MILLIONS of $$$$$ are Stocked Away?

Neglect found at Ruby homes

By HEIDI EVANS
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

A State Health Department inspection of Ruby Weston's Marcus Garvey Nursing Home has found serious flaws at the Crown Heights, Brooklyn, facility, including a chronic failure to tend to many patients' basic needs.

One man was found sitting in urine-soaked clothes for nearly an hour. He wasn't changed until a health inspector intervened.

The state's 50-page report, obtained by the Daily News, paints a picture of an administration with little regard for the care and dignity of many of the home's 255 residents, most of whom are poor and frail.

In addition to citing the home for unpalatable food and poor communication among the staff, the report says a licensed practical nurse was seen cleaning an elderly woman's wounds despite her crying out in pain, and three instances of verbal abuse by staffers were observed.

The 16 areas of deficiencies reported at the Brooklyn home are almost double the number state inspectors found during their annual survey of Marcus Garvey in March 2004 - and four times the average found at homes statewide.

"There are a lot of problems in nursing homes in New York, but the widespread neglect and abuse cited in this inspection report is outrageous," said Richard Mollet, associate director for the Long Term Care Community Coalition, a watchdog group. "You wouldn't want your relatives treated this way."

A public relations firm hired by Weston called the deficiencies "isolated" and said a new administrator has been hired.

"The Board of Directors at Marcus Garvey Nursing Home is confident that it has systems and programs in place to address the issues identified by the state and to ensure that all residents receive quality and compassionate care," said spokeswoman Colleen Roche.

The 295-bed facility is headed by Ruby Weston, a 78-year-old grandmother who has enriched herself and her family with millions of Medicaid dollars that flow through the home. She has also socked away $21 million in Medicaid payments into a Marcus Garvey savings account, money that critics say should be spent on patient care and additional staff.

The Health Department's report comes at a sensitive time for Weston. She is under investigation by state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer for alleged financial wrongdoing and violations of not-for-profit laws at both Marcus Garvey and Ruby Weston Manor, a 280-bed facility she runs in East New York, Brooklyn.

Investigators are looking into Daily News revelations of Weston's eye-popping $600,000 salary and perks, and rampant hiring of relatives and friends. She also put her longtime lover in as board chairman, which gave her free reign over millions of taxpayer dollars earmarked for the nearly 600 elderly in her care.

Weston, well-known in Brooklyn's Caribbean community, and the homes' boards of directors face possible removal depending on Spitzer's findings, expected next month......

FLORIDA STATE LEGISLATORS STEP UP TO THE PLATE

By Beverly Eakman
May 12, 2005
NewsWithViews.com

Two weeks ago today, I was asked to testify, as a former teacher, at a legislative hearing in Tallahassee, Florida, concerning two pivotal pieces of legislation, one in the House (primary co-sponsor: State Rep. Gus Barreiro) and one in the Senate (sponsored by Victor D. Crist). Both related to mandatory psychiatric referrals and psychotropic drugging of children as a condition of attending school. The bills were remarkably well-written, concise and to the point. They hinged on full disclosure notices to parents concerning the subjective nature of psychiatric labels listed in the ever-expanding bible of the profession (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, or DSM), and on the right of parents to refuse both psychiatric referral and/or psychotropic drugging of their children.

On the face of it, there didn’t seem to be anything to debate. Parents were being given credit for average intelligence -- enough to make a determination as to whether a mental health referral or psychotropic drug is appropriate, and full disclosure attesting to the lack of medical validity behind psychiatric labels (i.e., virtually none can be validated via a blood test, x-ray, chemical analysis, or other visible diagnostic measure), including a warning that DSM labels may result in adverse repercussions when a child applies to a college or for a job.

Many of those fighting these bills were, of course, themselves parents, yet the mental health and psychopharmaceutical lobbies were apoplectic, school officials were furious, and spokespersons for various school-related professional organizations seethed. Debate on the bills produced standing-room-only crowds.

And for good reason. After some 40 years of lousy teacher training, lax discipline, deteriorating academic focus, ineffective fads, and federal legislation aimed at mainstreaming belligerent juveniles in educational facilities, schools have become unmanageable. From a public school official’s, or even a teacher’s, perspective, about the only recourse left for getting miscreants and children who aren’t learning out of the room is to refer them to a mental health worker or drug them into submission.

{snip}

But back then, we weren’t so “enlightened.” My mother never had to wonder what was going on, because she always got an unsolicited report at 4:30 p.m. Had I thrown my sandwich in the trash can again? Had I excused myself from study hall to giggle in the bathroom with my best friend? Worn lipstick to class? Well … it would all come out at 4:30 when she came to pick me up. That was the kind of “behavior modification” teachers and parents employed to keep us youngsters in line -- frequent interface between our parents and teachers -- not mind-altering drugs and encounter sessions.

We got in trouble for the small things, before they could escalate -- like for telling a classmate to “shut up.” Well, if we were going to get read the riot act for saying “shut up,” we sure weren’t going to be using the other four-letter “s”-word anytime soon! One 6th-grade teacher confiscated all the girls’ purses because we were spending class time “showing off with them.” By the time I was teaching, however, that teacher could be fired for “disrespecting a pupil’s legitimate property without cause.” ....

Tracy Gaskill, Severely Brain-damaged - Speaks After 2-1/2 Years

Another miraculous recovery! Tracy Gaskill, a young lady from Winfield, Kansas was severely injured when her pickup truck overturned on September 3, 2002. WorldNetDaily reports this story of a victim who was expected by doctors to die by noon the next day, according to her grandfather, Don Gaskill (as told to the Arkansas City Traveler).

According to the report, the Gaskill family and many others in the Cowley County community prayed for Tracy regularly since the accident, and she had daily visits.

Not only did Tracy live beyond the day after the accident, she gradually began to improve.

Then, about three weeks ago, she spoke for the first time since the accident, about the same time she began to swallow on her own.

"It's amazing, isn't it?" Dr. David Schmeidler told the local paper. "I have never seen this happen in my career. I've read about it happening, the severely brain damaged recovering suddenly, but never seen it – until now."

Continued Schmeidler: "She is actually able to speak and to speak coherently. In light of all this stuff on Terri Schiavo ... it makes you pause and think. For three years or so, (Tracy) was fed through a tube, then she swallowed a little bit and now she speaks."

Lynda Marshall is a registered nurse who has worked with Tracy.

"It's really quite amazing (that Tracy can speak)," she told the Traveler. "After they've been without speech and the ability to eat that long, it's very rare they're able to come back."

Marshall said Tracy will get speech therapy, continue working on improving cognitive functions and eat on her own.

Tracy received what Schiavo did not – at least in the last several years – therapy.

Maria Korp - Decision Possible Friday

In an ABC NewsOnline Story, the scant details are updated.

A decision could be made as early as tomorrow about whether to turn off life support for a Melbourne woman who was found in the boot of her car. (That's the trunk to us Yankees.)

Maria Korp, the 50 year old Australian woman who spent 5 days locked in her vehicle after having been choked, allegedly by the mistress of her husband. Joe Korp, 47, and his former lover, Tania Herman, 38, were arrested and charged with attempted murdered.

It seems that Maria's 3 Month trial period after having been "diagnosed" to be in a persistent vegetative state expires on Friday the 13th.

The Office of the Public Advocate, which has been appointed Mrs. Korp's guardian, will meet with doctors at the Alfred Hospital. Mr. Korp's lawyer Peter Ward says if the guardian decides to turn off the life support, his client could fight the decision in the Supreme Court.

Joe Korp's trial will not begin until the first part of August. By then exhibit A may have been destroyed. Isn't this evidence tampering by the State?

PRINCIPAL BANS BIBLE DURING RECESS????

Bibles Banned on Playgrounds
Legal group challenges restriction on student activity during recess

An elementary school principal who barred students from reading the Bible during recess after a complaint from parents is violating the Constitution, according to a public-interest law firm challenging his actions.

In a letter to the Knox County School District in Tennesee, the Alliance Defense Fund declared the principal of Karns Elementary School is on "shaky constitutional ground."

"The Constitution does not prohibit Bibles during recess; it prohibits the wholesale banning of Bibles during recess," said Charles Pope, the ADF-allied attorney who wrote the letter to the district.

"A school official cannot tell a student that he can't bring his Bible to school or study it with friends during non-classroom time," Pope stated.

According to ADF, 10-year-old student Luke Whitson used his regularly scheduled recess time to read the Bible with a few friends on his school's playground. After receiving a complaint from a parent, the principal reportedly ordered the students to stop their activity, put their Bibles away and cease from bringing them to school.

"There are no 'age discrimination' allowances in the First Amendment of the Constitution," said ADF Senior Counsel Joseph Infranco. "The law protects these students the same as it protects all students."

Infranco said children "have rights of speech and association during their non-instructional time, and the school may not curtail those rights because of their age."

Whitson's parents sought legal assistance from Pope, who contends "the law as it pertains to this situation is well settled."

"Students may have religious discussions and Bible study during non-instructional time," he explained in his letter. "The school district should immediately issue a statement addressing the unconstitutional actions and policy and alerting all personnel to permit Luke and other similarly situated students to exercise their constitutional rights."


This is SAD! Let's think this through, just for a minute. What happened here? Parents COMPLAINED to the PRINCIPAL of an elementary school about a child reading the Bible on the palyground during recess. What the heck? Are you kidding me? THIS is the type of thing that bothers people enough to take time out of your day? If you spend ANY part of your day (as an adult), to go complain to another adult, about a child READING during RECESS- YOU NEED HELP! YOU NEED SOMETHING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE! YOU NEED TO GET INVOLVED WITH COMMUNITY SERVICE or SOMETHING!

It gets PATHETICALLY worse when a principal doesn't look at these complaining parents and say (while pulling out a map to remind them where they live), "Did you not see the AMERICAN FLAG flying outside?" It is obvious that the PRINCIPAL doesn't know or understand the CONSTITUTION! I mean there are only two options here. Either the Principal has NO CLUE what the Constitution says, and its PURPOSE (to protect the PEOPLE form TYRANNY); or the Principal feels compelled to IGNORE the Constitution in order to acheive his/her own political agenda. Could you imagine the uproar if Luke were banned from reading the Koran?

Abortion Providers Enact Changes

I was at the State Capitol in Atlanta Georgia on the day that Georgia Right to Life was there lobbying for "The Women's Right to Know Act." Representative Ed Setzler, MY Representative for the Georgia House, is a STRONG Pro-Lifer and took time out of his schedule to thank them for their work.


Abortion Providers Enact Changes
Reported By: Denis O'Hayer
Web Editor: Manav Tanneeru

Georgia abortion providers made some big changes Wednesday, a day after new abortion restrictions went into effect.

The "Women's Right to Know" requires abortion patients to wait 24 hours from the time they first contact a doctor.

Providers must also read women a list of abortion risks and alternatives, and patients under 18 must notify parents or guardians in advance.

Phone counselors at the Feminist Women's Health Center started reading what they call "the script" days before Governor Sonny Perdue made it law.

“Women have broken down in tears listening to this,” said Robin Gelberg, a clinic director.

Gelberg argued it's unfair to read the same warning to every woman because some have special circumstances. “It could be a fetal anomaly diagnosis later than they expect, and they're horrified, and it's a terrible family crisis. It could be a rape survivor or an incest survivor,” she said.

Anti-abortion advocates and abortion rights advocates agree on one thing: they want fewer abortions performed.

They disagree, however, on whether the new law will accomplish that.

Anti-abortion leaders predict the warning, which directs women to a state information Web site, will reduce abortions.

“Women have the opportunity to look at that and see that this is a baby -- it's not a piece of tissue, it's a real live human being, [and] that it is going to make a difference,” said Sadie Fields of the Christian Coalition of Georgia.

“It will make women make a more informed decision, which I believe is their medical right,” Perdue said.

Gelberg says her clinic always counseled women about risks and alternatives in person. “Even with that information, there is unwanted pregnancy. “So I'm not sure how it will affect the numbers of abortion requested or sought,” she said.

Clinic officials told 11Alive News the state has not yet prepared the information booklets the law requires they give to patients.

Planned Parenthood Claims Pictures are "Deceitful?"

Graphic Anti-Abortion Billboard Disturbs Orlando Residents

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Residents of an Orlando neighborhood say a new billboard goes way too far with its anti-abortion message. The big sign shows graphic images of an aborted fetus. Parents say it should not be displayed along a residential street. The pictures are so graphic, WFTV.com has chosen not to show them.

This week, the ride to school for Jennifer Lusk's children changed. Lusk says a new billboard that went up over the weekend is far too disturbing.

"I went to the grocery store and came back and it was sitting there. It took my breath away. I was like, ugh. I walked in the house and started ranting," said Lusk.

The billboard shows large pictures of a fetus, torn into pieces and covered in blood. The targets of the message are women headed to the EPOC abortion clinic just blocks away on Virginia Drive.

The billboard sits across from Donovan Davis' mortgage office. It stands behind a fence at a vacant warehouse. The billboard headline reads, "Killing a baby is a bad choice."

"No matter what side of the abortion issue you come down on, it's just so inappropriate for my staff, my clients, kids going to and from school," said Davis.

The sign was created by the Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, an organization that stands by the message saying, "the billboard is disturbing, because abortion is disturbing," according to Gregg Cunningham, the executive director of the organization.

And soon, more Central Floridians will be affected by the images. The organization that created the billboard has an even bigger version that will be pulled behind a banner plane regularly flown over Orlando.

A spokesperson for the abortion clinic was not available to comment Wednesday. A spokesperson for Planned Parenthood of Florida contacted Channel 9 on Wednesday afternoon, calling the billboard a "misleading, deceitful, and cruel scare tactic directed at woman and children."

I am sick of people HIDING from truth on the premise of "politcal correctness." Since when is HIDING FROM TRUTH- CORRECT? There is NOTHING CORRECT about HIDING from TRUTH! Sure- I don't want my young girls seeing these pictures, but unfortunately- this is the world we live in. Nickelodeon is allowing the pro-choicers to target our children! The best defense is a good offense. If Planned Parenthood wants to target my children- then THEY are the ones forcing the issue. I am not about to stick my head in the sand as they spew their cleansed information about abortion. They have forced my hand! If they want to target children- fine- but I am not about to let them go at it unchallenged.

Stay tuned- I have a plan, and God is BLESSING IT!

"Ignorance sustained by denial is crippling this nation's response to abortion. When something is so horrifying that we can't stand to look at it, perhaps we shouldn't be tolerating it!"

The History of Filibusters that the Dems DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!

Reed’s Rules
The nuclear option, 19th-century style.

By John A. Barnes

Flip your television clicker over to C-SPAN's coverage of the House of Representatives and watch the speeches on the floor. View these for any length of time and you will notice a pattern. The chair will announce "The gentleman from so-and-so is recognized for five minutes." If he finishes before the time limit is up, the member will say, "I yield back the balance of my time." If he is not finished, the sharp rap of the speaker's gavel will be heard — even as the member continues speaking — and the voice from the dais will intone, "The time of the gentleman has expired." If the member holding forth doesn't sit down right quick — unless he asks for (and receives) unanimous consent to continue — he can be escorted from the floor.

Clearly, it is much easier to shut down a windbag in the House than it is in the Senate, where the filibuster still protects the right to effectively unlimited debate. But as the Senate moves closer to some sort of confrontation over filibusters of President Bush's judicial nominees, there's a question hanging in the air worth asking: Why is the filibuster allowed in the Senate but not in the House of Representatives?

The answer is that the filibuster did indeed once have a home in the House. That it doesn't anymore is a tribute to a 19th-century Republican hero: Speaker Thomas Brackett Reed of Maine. If he is recalled at all today, it is because of the memorable nickname his enemies fastened to him in the wake of Reed's successful abolition of the filibuster in the House: "Czar."

Even historically minded Americans have very little time for congressional leaders, who tend to be quickly forgotten regardless of their merits. Thomas B. Reed deserves better, for his name lives on in Reed's Rules, the guide to parliamentary procedure that governs the operations of the House of Representatives (and many state legislatures) to this day.

Like most prominent late-19th-century American politicians, Reed was a Civil War veteran, though he freely admitted that his one year spent aboard a U.S. Navy gunboat plying the Mississippi had never brought him under enemy fire. Qualified as a lawyer after the war, he served as a member of the Maine state legislature and state attorney general before being elected to Congress in 1876.

For 12 years, Reed bided his time. Blessed with an almost photographic memory, he learned the legislative process inside and out. He quickly concluded that the House suffered from a "tyranny of the minority," by which the will of the voters, as expressed through their ballots, could be frustrated.

The primary weapon of the minority was the so-called "silent quorum" or "silent filibuster." Under the House rules of the time, a quorum of 165 members, a majority, had to be present in order for business to be conducted. But in order for a member to be counted as "present," he had to affirmatively answer when his name was called by the clerk. If the member refused to answer, even if physically present in the chamber, he was marked absent. Since, invariably, some members actually were absent — either ill, traveling, or otherwise unavailable — it usually wasn't difficult for a minority, by remaining silent during the roll call, to prevent the majority party from reaching the necessary 165 members "present." Thus, the will of the majority was thwarted without an actual vote having to be taken. (Sound familiar?)

This tactic enraged Reed. When he was elected speaker at the beginning of the 51st Congress in 1889, conditions were ripe for change. For the first time since 1874, one party controlled the White House and both houses of Congress. (Again, sound familiar?) Determined to be an active legislator, not merely a figurehead, he knew that if he was to succeed he had to break the silent filibuster.

But the GOP majority in the House — 168 Republicans to 160 Democrats — was wafer-thin and some of its members were considered unreliable. (Think RINOs — Republicans in Name Only — were invented in 2001?) Even Joseph Cannon, Reed's close friend and confidant (and a future speaker himself), advised Reed not to make any attempt to move against the silent filibuster. More ominously, Democratic leader John Carlisle made it clear that he would consider any legislation passed in defiance of the silent filibuster to be unconstitutional, and would take the matter to the courts.

Reed was having none of it. A top-notch lawyer himself, he was satisfied that Carlisle would have no case if it ever came to a courtroom showdown. As for his own party, Reed was confident that the Democrats would react so wildly to any effort to abolish the silent filibuster that it would rally any wavering GOPers behind his effort.

The stakes, though, could scarcely have been higher. "He knew that the fight would focus upon him the nation's attention," writes Barbara Tuchman in her excellent account of Reed's breaking of the silent filibuster in her book The Proud Tower (from which this account is largely drawn). Reed also knew that if he failed, "his Congressional career would be over."

The new speaker's chance came on January 29, 1889, on a motion over a disputed election. Only 163 members affirmatively answered the quorum call, two short of the necessary 165. Instead of simply leaving it at that, however, Reed turned to the clerk of the House and directed him to "record the names of the following members present and refusing to vote." Reed then began reeling off the list of names of Democrats present in the chamber who had refused to answer when their names were called.

As Tuchman records the scene, "pandemonium broke loose" in the House chamber. It was the beginning of five days of parliamentary tumult. A few Democrats attempted to maintain decorum, demanding formally, "I appeal the decision of the Chair!" Most others, however, were less gracious. They shouted, swore, threatened, and pounded their fists on tables and desks. Nevertheless, Reed went on reading the list of names in a calm, assured voice. When he reached the name of Rep. James McCreary of Kentucky, the latter exclaimed "I deny your right, Mr. Speaker, to count me as present!"

Reed abruptly ceased reading and, for a moment, a hush fell on the raucous chamber. In a measured voice, Reed calmly observed, "The Chair is making a statement of fact that the gentleman is present. Does he deny it?" Reed then resumed reading his list of names.

Upon reaching the end, Reed declared that a quorum was present in the chamber. When a Democratic member appealed the ruling, Reed firmly denied the appeal. Every Democrat was on his feet yelling, except for a Texas representative, who was conspicuously sharpening a Bowie knife against the sole of his boot while sitting quietly in his seat.

A Republican member — probably one of those 19th-century RINOs — then moved for a debate on the rule change. Reed decided to allow it. For four days the debate raged. There were points of order, appeals, and endless quorum calls. Reed would repeat the same procedure as on the first day, reading the names of the silent Democrats into the journal as "present." Tempers reached such a fevered pitch that, at one point, a knot of Democratic members advanced menacingly down the center aisle toward the speaker's chair, giving the impression that Reed would be physically assaulted. Even the galleries joined in, with spectators and reporters shouting and screaming abuse at the speaker.

All manner of invective was tossed about, with various nicknames being chosen for the presiding officer. "Tyrant," "dictator," and "monster" were among the printable ones. But somewhere along the line, someone shouted "Czar," and that was the one that seemed to stick. From that day forward, he was "Czar" Reed.

Throughout this ordeal, Reed maintained an outward calm, though those who saw him in the privacy of his office could see his hands tremble with suppressed rage. What no one knew at the time was that Reed had already resolved to resign from the House if his effort to change the rules failed. "I had made up my mind that if political life consisted of sitting helplessly in the Speaker's chair and seeing the majority helpless to pass legislation, I had had enough of it and was ready to step down and out," he said later.

That turned out not to be necessary. After four days, the Democrats tried to absent themselves in actuality, refusing to come to the floor when the quorum was called. Two Republicans who were ill were brought into the chamber on cots. Still one vote short. Finally, Rep. John Sweney of Iowa, who was en route from his district during most of the battle, suddenly appeared at the door of the chamber with the words "One more, Mr. Speaker!" The fight was over. The Democrats sullenly returned to the chamber.

A new set of rules, drafted by Reed, was thus instituted. A quorum consists of 100 members, all members must vote, all present shall be counted, etc. Collectively, they were dubbed "Reed's Rules."

Theodore Roosevelt, who would later break with Reed over the annexation of the Philippines, was in awe. He called the breaking of the silent filibuster a reform "of far greater importance" than any piece of legislation. That became evident a few years later when the Democrats retook control of Congress. They immediately threw out "Reed's Rules," reinstituting the silent filibuster. Reed promptly turned it against them with relish. He succeeded in so thoroughly tying up the House that in frustration the Democrats were compelled to bring back Reed's Rules. Declining to gloat, Reed merely observed, "The scene here is a more effective address than any I could make."

Since that time, the House of Representatives has become the legislative body that is most responsive to its leadership. Few bills that are strongly supported by the speaker's party fail to reach a vote and pass. The minority party has a right to be heard, to vote, and, as Reed once put it, "draw its pay," but little more. This is not a matter of simple power politics, as Reed knew, but of representative government itself. The party winning the most votes in an election has the right to see its program voted on and moved, not merely debated. Otherwise, the public becomes cynical about the entire democratic process — and rightfully so.

Majority rule no doubt has its problems, but they pale in comparison with those presented by minority rule. The term was unknown in 1889, but "going nuclear" can be unavoidable when a majority party finds itself caught between keeping faith with its electors and an obstinate minority that simply refuses to yield. "Czar" Reed knew that. Does Sen. Bill Frist?

Jail? Sounds Good to Me!

Stressed mum chooses jail for a break

A mother-of-three is to spend three months in jail instead of paying a parking fine to get a rest from her 'demanding' children and 'lazy' husband.

Maria Brunner waved to neighbours as police drove her away for not paying a £50 fine that had risen to £2,500 because it had been left unpaid.

"She opened the door and seemed really happy, if not relieved, to see us before asking us to take her away and lock her up," said one of the arresting officers from Poing in Germany.

The 38-year-old said she had had enough of scraping a living for her family as a cleaner every day while "my lazy husband sits on his backside doing nothing".

She added: "As long as I get food and a hot shower everyday, I don't mind being sent to jail. It means I can finally get some rest and relaxation without having to cook, wash and clean for everyone."

Brunner said she only found out she owed so much money when she got a letter from public prosecutors saying she would be jailed if she did not repay it immediately.

She says her unemployed husband, 35, hid the original fine from her that had been sent after he parked badly while driving her car.

"At first I was really worried about it, because I knew we did not have so much money, but then I looked at it as a chance to get away for a while," she said.

A police officer added: "She repeatedly thanked us for arresting her and smiled and waved as she was driven off to jail."

But her stay in prison may be cut short as her husband is desperately trying to raise the money to pay off her fine.


A while back, Bill O'Reilly did a segment on a study that stating how elderly men died much sooner once their wife died as opposed to how women lived much longer once their husbands died. He had "specialists" on the show giving different reasons for this. I remember laughing and telling the television, "Bill, no need for "specialists! This study just shows you the lengths that men will go to, in order to get out of doing housework."

Yup, Terri's Dead! - So Who Is Jon Thogmartin?

In a little personal interest article being run by the St. Petersburg Times, the life and times of Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner Dr. Jon Thogmartin is reviewed. This an interesting caricature of an aggressive but shy man who wants it all his way. Yes, that's what I expect for a public official in Pinellas County, Florida. If Judge George Greer can quash all information regarding the life of Terri Schiavo, it's a sure bet that Dr. Thogmartin can do equally as well.

For the past month, he has been working on her autopsy. She has taken over his office and consumed his working hours.

{snip}

"That's her and that's her," he says, pointing to piles of documents and boxes of slides stacked all over his office.

{snip}

Thogmartin, 41, knows Schiavo's autopsy will probably be the most publicized of his career. He won't talk about it until he is done and estimates it will be two or three more weeks.

About the inclusion of the Schindler's pathologist participating in the autopsy, Thogmartin said, "It is routine in cases of criminal importance to not allow any biased pathology advocates in the morgue, I'm the independent pathologist."

Biased? Independent? Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!
The good news is that now we not only know what the outcome will be, we know when to expect the foregone conclusions.

Fair organizers get surprise: group gives students condoms

WAUSAU, Wis. (AP) School officials and organizers of a health fair for middle-school students got a surprise when they learned an AIDS education group was handing out condoms.

Scott Eggebrecht's 14-year-old son, an eighth-grader at John Muir Middle School, was one of the students who brought home a condom from the event.

"He said, 'Look what they gave us,'" Eggebrecht, said. "He was real honest. ... I was just shocked that he came home with it."

About 1,150 students attended the fair Thursday at North Central Health Care, which was designed to teach about dangerous effects of using alcohol and drugs.

More than 33 displays created by community organizations were featured, said Sue Nowak of North Central Health Care, who organized the event.

Roger Rindo, director of secondary education for the Wausau School District, said Monday that administrators did not know workers with the Schofield office of the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin would be giving out the condoms.

Organizers and teachers stopped the distribution once they found out it was happening, and the district sent a letter to parents Friday with an explanation.

The center also apologized.

"It was done in error," Nowak said. "They were very apologetic. ... The group was just too young to be handing out condoms."

I remember moving into a new house when my son was in 3rd grade. A little boy that lived next door came over and started to help. I was so impressed! He was the same age as my son. Once we got all unpacked, I went to meet our new neighbors. My son and I walked over to meet this boys parents and introduce ourselves. The father answered the door with a half empty bottle of vodka in his hand and reeking of pot. He began to tell me how he stayed at home with the 5 kids while mom worked. I was in a hurry to leave so I didn't even step into the house. I quickly announced that we needed to get dinner started and before I could turn to go, he started telling me (with my son standing right next to me, and all 5 of his kids surrounding him) how he smoked pot, but only the oldest girl (14) knew about it. My jaw just hit the ground. I quickly said, "Not anymore pal. You just announced it. Not only did I not want to hear it, I sure didn't want you talking about it in front of my son. Your kids are welcome to come play at our house, but my son will not be aloud in your home." As I headed down the porch steps, he proceded to tell me how I insulted him. AMAZING! Now I had to have a discussion with my EIGHT YEAR OLD ABOUT POT! BUT HE WAS OFFENDED????!!

1,300 FAKE BADGES!

Feds seize fake badges
1,300 counterfeit emblems found representing 35 different agencies

Federal officials arrested a New York man yesterday and charged him with possessing and selling more than 1,300 counterfeit badges representing 35 law enforcement agencies.

The counterfeits are "very, very good," Special Agent in Charge Martin Ficke of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency told CNN, adding that nine out of 10 of the badges would "pass scrutiny."

The fake badges looked like the real thing from agencies such as the FBI, U.S. Marshals, Customs, Drug Enforcement Agency, Treasury and the New York Police Department.

"For someone to have that in their possession and utilize it to identify themselves as law enforcement could be devastating to security, particularly homeland security," Ficke is quoted as saying.

One Disability Does Not Destroy Her Life

I wish to share with you a note that my daughter received. My daughter is a Special Education Teacher; she is also the Drama Director at a local Public Middle School (grades 6 - 8). The subject of the handwritten note is a young lady (who I will call Abby - not her real name), one of my daughter's students. The author of the note is the student's mother.

"Dear Miss ...,
Thank you for inviting Abby to be part of the play. She loves being with the students. It is great for her as well as others. If I would of known someone with Down Syndrome growing up I would not of been so scared when she was born. Hopefully, the awareness of disabilities will help others understand they are like everyone else. You have helped by expanding Abby's experiences, this we appreciate. The play was creative and very entertaining.

Thank you,
(Father & Mother's names)"

I was very moved by this note. My daughter gave me permission to use it, but only if I protected all referenced names. Every life is precious. We all have disabilities; some are just more physical and more noticeable than others. But that does not diminish our value in the eyes of God.

Animal Rights Activists Step Up Attacks in N.Y.
Families of Drug Executives Are Harassed

LAUREL HOLLOW, N.Y. -- Early one recent morning, the wife of a pharmaceutical executive was followed to her workplace, her car was broken into and her credit cards were stolen; later $20,000 in unauthorized charitable donations were billed on the cards.

It was the latest in a series of attacks by the Animal Liberation Front on the Long Island family. The activists, who have asserted responsibility, once scrawled "Puppy Killer" in red paint on the executive's house and have posted the couple's phone, license plate and bank account numbers on the Internet, along with this threat: "If we find a dime of that money granted to those charities was taken back, we will strip you bare."

Panel scales back abortion bill


Legislators drop language Springfield providers say was aimed at closing clinics.

By James Goodwin

Jefferson City — It's a rare day, an abortion-rights supporter noted, when she sides with a Missouri Right to Life lobbyist.

Yet there they were Monday, testifying before a House committee against a bill to restrict abortions.

"This may be the only time I get to go on record on the same side ...," said Alison Gee of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region.

Of course, Susan Klein of Missouri Right to Life thought Senate Bill 2, which was soon to be scaled back, would lose some of its greatest worth.

Among the provisions dropped was a requirement that doctors who provide abortions have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles. Springfield Healthcare Center officials said previously they viewed the provision as an attempt to shut down clinics that provide abortions.

{snip}

Republican leaders are concerned that certain language would ban therapeutic cloning, which scientists hope someday will lead to a cure for various diseases and injuries. Other worries are that the legislation would outlaw a popular fertility treatment and that particular language wouldn't withstand judicial review.

Also removed from the bill were provisions that would have:

• Prohibited abortion providers from providing sex education information at public schools.

• Authorized tax credits for donations to "pregnancy resource centers" that counsel against abortion.

• Allowed the state to sell "Respect Life" license plates.

My application for WRC Director

Mike S. Adams

Dear Dr. Berkeley:

I am writing to apply for the position of Director of the WRC (Women's Resource Center) at UNC Wilmington. I noticed the position advertisement states that minimum requirements include "tenure in an academic department at UNCW at the associate professor rank, experience in leadership development, and a demonstrated commitment to diversity and equity." I believe that I am fully qualified for this position.

In addition to advising Kappa Sigma, Theta Chi, the Civil Disobedience Dissemination Organization, the UNCW Pro-Life Club, the Criminal Justice Club, and the College Republicans, I have received a number of awards, each indicating the strength of my commitment to leadership development at this university. This year, I received the Golden Seahawk Award from the Pandion Society. This award was given to only one person on campus at the annual leadership banquet. It hangs on my wall next to two awards for Faculty Member of the Year (1998 and 2000).

My commitment to diversity has been demonstrated in hundreds of television and radio appearances discussing campus diversity over the course of the last three years. I have given speeches on the topic of diversity at campuses all around the nation. Some of those speeches, including my address to the Yale Law School, have been broadcast on national television.

The best way to assess the strength of my commitment to diversity is to perform a "Google" search using the terms "Mike Adams" and "diversity." If you perform a similar search for all candidates applying for this position a clear winner will emerge. That winner will be me.

While I do not have "teaching experience in Women's Studies courses" I believe that I have "a proven track record in collaborating with community agencies that work on behalf of women...". For example, I organized the "Run Against Rape" in April of 1995. This event raised money for the Rape Crisis Center with a five kilometer run. A U.S. Congressman fired the starting gun for the event, which was covered by the local media. This fundraiser did not require teenage girls to march across a stage chanting "vagina." Nor were vagina lollipops sold to spectators or participants. In short, I raised money to promote the dignity of women without asking them to act like women of ill-repute.

Your position advertisement states that "...Additionally, the position requires organizational, administrative, networking, and positive interpersonal relation skills and an ability to communicate effectively in oral and written formats. Responsibilities include overseeing the daily operation and budget of the WRC; supervising staff (both a half-time administrative assistant and half-time graduate student); coordinating the Women's Studies minor program, collaborating with existing women's programs...developing educational and outreach programs for women; facilitating research and assessment issues of concern to student, staff and faculty women; and working with the WRC's advisory board."

In order to address these more specific requirements, I intend to list some specific things I will do if I become WRC Director. That short list
follows:

1. I will immediately ask you, Dr. Berkeley, to sever your ties with the Women's Resource Center. This decision is based upon your consistent pattern of viewpoint discrimination as a leader of the WRC-most recently as the interim director.

For example, since December, the UNCW Pro Life group has been trying to get a link to their website through the WRC website. After weeks of ignoring them, you promised them a hearing in March. You then moved the hearing to April. You then cancelled the hearing. Thinking of silly excuses to ensure that only your views are represented on the WRC website is something you have done with impunity for years. My description of your history of similar discrimination is chronicled in a chapter in my book, "Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel." If you would like, I can provide you with a copy for inspection.

As it stands, the pro-life movement is only mentioned once on your website in a caption below a picture of a man holding a sign saying "Bow to the God of the Bible." Your caption reads: "This pretty much sums up the motivations of the anti-choice movement." In other words, the WRC is saying that pro-lifers are all simple-minded religious bigots. That is as unacceptable as saying "all Jews are penny pinchers" or "all Negroes are spear chuckers." Your stereotypical thinking and willingness to discriminate based on those stereotypes will have no place at a Mike Adams-led WRC.

2. I will immediately ask Elizabeth Ervin, former head of the WRC, to sever all ties with the Center. When Ervin was director, she told the local Crisis Pregnancy Center (Life Line) that they could not be linked to the WRC webpage. Shortly thereafter, she went onto a feminist list serve based at Dartmouth and admitted that she denied the group access to the WRC site because they were "explicitly Christian." The emails sent back and forth between the feminists had a privacy statement attached to them, saying that those of us who received the emails in error must delete them without reading their contents.

I read the emails anyway. But it is now a moot point since one of the feminists accidentally posted the emails on the internet for all to see.
Again, Dr. Berkeley, you can use "Google" to access the whole exchange.
After you do, I'm sure you will agree that anti-Christian bigotry has no place at the WRC.

3. I am going to actually hold a debate between pro-lifers and pro-choicers at UNCW. This idea of having a debate is decidedly against the university diversity policy. I am going to do it anyway.

4. I am going to allow the two pro-life students who recently asked to serve on the WRC Advisory Board to do so. You did not allow them to serve because you are, in my opinion, opposed to diversity. I am committed to reversing your decision immediately upon taking office. Pro-choicers and pro-lifers will work together on the WRC Board from now on.

5. I am not going to post the f-word or the p-word all over campus on Vagina Day. In fact, I am going to cancel the Vagina Monologues next year and replace it with the second installment of the Run Against Rape.

Since the run will also help fight heart disease, I plan to call it Angina Day, or A-Day.

6. I also plan to offer firearms training at the WRC. I will supply the guns and ammo, thereby saving the taxpayers of North Carolina thousands of dollars.

7. Since my term is for four-years, I will cut the budget of the WRC by 25% per year. This will help students fight the rising cost of tuition by eliminating the WRC at the end of my term.

When you consider that a) women are 70% of the student population at this university, and b) they make better grades than men, we don't really need a "comfort zone" to help them escape from masculine oppression. And, come to think of it, I won't really need this job in four years. By then, I plan to replace radio talk show host Neal Boortz (www.Boortz.com) or maybe even start a Men's Resource Center.

Whatever happens, I know that my possibilities are endless. As the feminists say, it's still a man's world. Regardless, I look forward to meeting you in an interview soon.

Mike S. Adams (www.DrAdams.org) sent the above application to Dr. Berkeley on May 7th, two days before the application deadline. He hopes to get an answer before he speaks at Kalamazoo College in Kalamazoo, MI, on May 25th. If he is rejected, he plans to throw pies at any liberals attending the speech.


I still haven't found the little email exchange between Miss Elizabeth and her diversity loving friends, but I smile inside knowing many others have!

Even Dogs are Pro-Life!

Stray Dog in Kenya Saves Abandoned Baby


NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - A stray dog saved the life of a newborn baby after finding the abandoned infant in a forest and apparently carrying it across a busy road and through some barbed wire to her litter of puppies, witnesses said.

The stray dog found the infant, clad in tattered clothing, in a poor neighborhood near the Ngong Forests in the capital of Nairobi, Stephen Thoya told the independent Daily Nation newspaper.

The dog apparently found the baby Friday in the plastic bag in which the infant had been abandoned, said Aggrey Mwalimu, owner of the shed where the animal was guarding its puppies. The seven-pound, four-ounce infant was taken to the hospital for treatment on Saturday.

"She is doing well, responding to treatment, she is stable. ...

HOPE for Baby Charlotte: YOU CAN HELP!

Juleni has been a GOD GIVEN AMBASSADOR for Baby Charlotte. She asked me to pass this on to ALL I CAN!


Sherri...on a somber note, and off topic, here is my latest update on little baby Charlotte Wyatt. Would you please alert your readers to pray for her and to write those British media outlets that RottyPup put up for us over at Blogsforterri? I will try to repost them all here, too...Thank you!:


Over the past week and a half, the editor of the Olive Branch Press (www.theolivebranchpress.org) and I have contacted several doctors in an attempt to get help for Charlotte. There have been ups and downs, that I want to share with you later, but have no time right now: suffice it to say, the editor of Olive Branch Press (OBP) has made contact with a prolife British doctor willing to help Charlotte! This is good news!!


THIS IS WHERE WE NEED YOUR HELP, WITH PRAYER!

The doctor has told us that the hospital that Charlotte is in must first give PERMISSION for a second opinion to be allowed...can you imagine that? As a result the OBP editor has a call in, overseas, to a British legal expert who works alongside the prolife doctors. We are waiting for this legal expert's response (a woman). PLEASE, PLEASE PRAY that she responds as soon as possible, and that God will guide her as she reviews all the legal considerations in our getting a good, life asserting doctor to give an evaluation or second opinion on Charlotte!

Here is why this is so crucial:

THE FOLLOWING IS THE FIRST PARAGRAPH FROM THE STATEMENTS IN THE COURT DOCUMENTS FROM THIS PAST OCTOBER:

"On the basis of the unanimous medical evidence in this case, the issue in all probability is not whether this baby should live or die but how and when she should die. Charlotte has chronic respiratory and kidney problems coupled with the most profound brain damage that has left her blind, deaf and incapable of voluntary movement or response. It is very highly probable that she will during this winter succumb to a respiratory infection that will prove fatal. That said the unanimous medical evidence also recognises that in this area there is no such thing as certainty of prognosis of survival. "


That first sentence....."not whether this baby should live or die but how and when she should die". DOES THAT NOT SOUND JUST LIKE JUDGE GREER's pronouncement on Terri, "the (judgement) is that she will die" - or words like that?

Also the whole October pronouncement about Charlotte seems so silly now, from this perspective of months later, because she has obviously not gone the way they 'predicted' at all, and is obviously not what they said back then. She sees, hears, responds, smiles, is growing constantly, plays, and is just getting better and better - just like most newbies.

It would seem just something that they said back then, that could be ignored now, except that.....it almost sounds to me like a death sentence. I could just say, oh, well, that was back then, in October, and they just didn't know and look how far she has come now, so they must see that and believe differently now, if it weren't for one thing....

They are not acting like all of her growth, response, thriving, matters at all....

Case in point, today's news, from Joshua of the Friends for Charlotte (by email). (The SaveCharlotte.com website.)....this, DESPITE THE FACT that Charlotte twice the other day was successfully and happily out of her oxygen box for a while, on just a nasal cannula for oxygen and is now only needing 45% oxygen on a continual basis, freeing her up almost to the point that she could go home (she can go home when she is on a nasal cannula, and low % of oxygen need.....and she has already come down from 100% oxygen to only 45% oxygen in just these few months...):




"We found out today that the hospital has decided (no explanation) to
stop giving Charlotte time on the nasal prongs (cannula). She seemed to be doing
so well on them, and be getting ready for coming home, so this was a
great discouragement to us.

Please pray that Charlotte would soon get so well and strong it would
be evident even to those who most don't want to see it. And pray for
us, that we would know how to deal with the hospital. Pray especially
for Darren & Debbie, that they would be encouraged and have strength
to go on.:

___________________________
>From the www.savecharlotte.com website:

"Two steps forward, one step back

Charlotte is continuing to get stronger, but today there was another
set-back from the hospital. Though she spends most of the time in her
oxygen box, she had been slowly introduced to nasel cannula for the
past few weeks; going up to two hours a day, split up into two
sessions.

Darren and Debbie loved this new advancement-- she was more alert when
she was on them, and certainly easier to hold and stimulate. But today
they found out the nasal prong machine had been removed, and on
inquiring, that the hospital had decided to stop giving her time on it.
No reason was given, simply "it hadn't been a success".

But why not a success? She did so well on them!

They may mean well, but right now it is difficult to be anything like
certain.
If the hospital believes your baby does not deserve to live, will that
affect their decision making?

When will there be any accountablity?"
________________________________
And from Hannah, of the www.savecharlotte.com website:

"On the positive side, she is doing really well-- in spite of them! and getting stronger. She had her measurements taken yesturday, and she has been gaining a little weight and growing longer.

Pray especially for Darren and Debbie today, because it meant alot to them to have her allowed out of her box and with the nasal cannula..."


So, there are a few prayer requests, here.

1. for Debbie and Darren, Charlotte's parents, to be encouraged and to have strength for the continued fight for their daughter.

2.that Charlotte would soon get so well and strong it would
be evident even to those who most don't want to see it.

3.for Joshua, Hannah, Debbie Darren, the editor of OBP, the legal expert in Britain, the doctor in Britain who is willing to help, that they all may know and have discernment from God as to how to deal with the hospital, in regards to getting that second opinion evaluation done, and as to the hospital withholding the medical records from Charlotte's parents, as they are doing (possibly illegally?....see the savecharlotte.com website's comments for a comment from a British subject regarding this..)

4. for this stronghold of the enemy to be torn down by God, in satan's wanting to take little Charlotte's life.

Finally, if you would be willing, could some people please start writing to the British press contacts which RottyPup gave us last week?? A little spotlighting might be of help to let the hospital be aware that their actions are being watched in regards to Charlotte.

PLEASE PRAY!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH....

The MOST OUTRAGEOUS THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! NICKELODEON ADVERTISING FOR ABORTION!

Pro-Choice Ads on Nickelodeon

In the culturally-conservative town of Grand Rapids pro-choice groups don't make the largest impression. West Michiganders aren't prone to buy the "no one knows when life begins" line or fall in love with the vague assertion "women have the right to choose." We're more likely to point to the scientific evidence regarding the beginning of human life and ask what exactly do woman have a right to "choose."

Much to my chagrin, I have been informed that Grand Rapids' patchwork pro-choice group has been reaching out to a new group of possible pro-choice advocates. They've been airing ads in the Grand Rapids television market for a couple of years - mostly on pro-choice friendly cable stations like Oxygen, E!, MTV, and VH1 - but now they've moved into marketing their message towards different viewers. Kids!! Friends of mine have seen their ads on Nickelodeon and the Cartoon Network. I guess if you can't convince adults, start the mythmaking with the young.

Their ads feature a wall being broken down and a coathanger behind the wall. They also advertise their currently nonfunctioning web site, www.prochoiceadvocates.org.

But thanks to the magic of the Way Back Machine we can view portions of their web site here.
