The Guttmacher Institute Redefines Violence Against Women

(Inside Catholic, May 6, 2010)

 

In other words, a person who believes in AGI's impartiality on abortion will be the kind of person who believes in the Tobacco Institute's impartiality about the harmful effects of cigarettes. However, without the slightest admission of conflict of interest, AGI churns out dozens of reports every year supporting unlimited access to abortion. Read More at Inside Catholic...

 

Homosexuality and the Church Crisis

(LifeSiteNews, April 19, 2010)

Due to clergy sex abuse scandals centered primarily in the Northern hemisphere, the moral authority of the Roman Catholic Church has been subjected to an opportunistic siege by prominent individuals and organizations who see the chance to advance their goals, including the ordination of women and the suspension of the requirement for priestly celibacy.  Clowes: Homosexuality and the Church Crisis 993.32 Kb

 

Good for China, Good for the World?

(spectator.org, December 18, 2009)

Last month, the People's Republic of China celebrated the thirtieth anniversary of its brutal and inhumane one-child policy. Human rights groups have documented the widespread abuses of forced abortions and sterilizations, and in several provinces authorities have even been known to monitor women's menstrual cycles and contraceptive use.

"Women on Waves" Finally Runs Aground

(The Wanderer, August 20, 2009)

Women on Waves has proven that it is just another manifestation of pro abortion hypocrisy and contraceptive imperialism. While WOW shouts at pro lifers to "obey the law" and "don"t offend us," it deliberately sets out to offend the populations of entire nations, blithely ignoring their laws while doing so. There is plenty of poetic justice in the termination of this killer boat. Let us hope and pray that this ridiculous chapter in abortion extremism remains where it should have been all along -- at the bottom of the deep blue sea. Read More...

Let's Get Our Facts Straight About Tiller and Anti-Abortion Violence

(LifeSiteNews.com June 3, 2009)

 Not only is it wrong to respond to people like Tiller with the ultimate anti-life act of murder, it also sets the entire pro-life movement back as good, committed leaders have to scramble to distance themselves from an act that they never called for and which is obviously antithetical to their philosophy and work. Pro-abortion legislators seize on the opportunity to call for laws restricting legitimate pro-life activities such as sidewalk counseling and picketing, knowing the whole time that such legislation will do nothing to hinder a maniac with a gun. And, worst of all, thousands of people who would otherwise have joined the pro-life movement will continue to sit on the sidelines, believing the media lie that we are violent. Read More...

The Bitter Fruits of Abortion

Back in the late 1960s in the United States, pro-abortion groups promised us that the rewards would be great if we legalized abortion. A group called NARAL promised us that "Legal abortion will decrease the number of unwanted children, child abuse cases, and possibly subsequent delinquency, drug addiction, and a host of social ills believed to be associated with neglectful parenthood."1 ... A few prophetic people, like Father Paul Marx, the founder of Human Life International, realized that the pro-abortionists were lying. Read More...
