After the active ingredient in most birth control pills has done its duty preventing pregnancy, it begins a second life as a pollutant that can harm wildlife in waterways.

Not only is ethinyl estradiol quite potent — creating “intersex” fish and amphibians — but it is very difficult to remove from wastewater, which carries it into natural waterways.

Since women around the planet take the pill, this is a global problem. The European Union is the first entity to seriously consider mandating the removal of ethinyl estradiol, also known as EE2, from wastewater. However, as researchers pointed out in Thursday’s (May 24) issue of the journal Nature, the question of whether to remove the pollutant is not simple.

Permanent Injunction Issued Against Birmingham Abortion Clinic!

Thursday, August 8, 2013: Jefferson County Alabama Circuit Court Judge Joseph Boohaker ruled today that the abortion business operating out of the New Women All Women building in Birmingham was subject to regulation by the Alabama Department of Public Health. He further ruled that since abortionist Dr. Bruce Norman has not obtained proper licensure from the Department of Public Health, the business should be permanently enjoined.

This news comes on the heels of the discovery of an apparent botched abortion at Mississippi’s only abortion clinic, a facility which is also owned by Diane Derzis, and out of which abortionist Norman operates as well. Local pro-life activists took to the streets in Montgomery to bring public attention to the hazard Derzis is creating for women.  (more…)

Unleasing the Power in a Woman’s Cycle

NaProTECHNOLOGY— A Major Breakthrough In Monitoring and Maintaining a Woman’s Reproductive and Gynecological Health

NaProTECHNOLOGY (Natural Procreative Technology) is a new women’s health science that monitors and maintains a woman’s reproductive and gynecological health. It provides medical and surgical treatments that cooperate completely with the reproductive system.

Thirty years of scientific research in the study of the normal and abnormal states of the menstrual and fertility cycles have unraveled their mysteries.

NaProTECHNOLOGY— A Major Breakthrough.

This is the first women’s health science to network family planning with reproductive health monitoring and maintenance. It is a fertility-care based medical approach rather than a fertility-control approach to family planning and gynecological health.

Revolutionary Communist Party leads ‘Abortion Rights Freedom Rides’ to 14 states

WICHITA, KS, August 9, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Numerous mainstream and left-leaning media outlets have highlighted the “Abortion Rights Freedom Rides,” a caravan of activists now traveling to 14 states to support “Abortion on demand and without apology.” However, no media outlet has reported that the event is being conducted by the Revolutionary Communist Party USA, a cult-like Maoist sect that calls for “millions of people to rise up in mass armed revolution” against the United States “when the time is right.”

The abortion freedom rides are being led by Stop Patriarchy, a front group for the Revolutionary Communist Party USA (RCP). SP’s original “Call to Action” gives the RCP’s web address as its own and prominently quotes RCP founder and chairman Bob Avakian.

Pro-life Democrat to colleague, ‘There’s no way you can be Catholic and be pro-choice’

AUSTIN, TX, August 8, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Catholic legislators who believe they can leave their faith outside the voting booth have been the bane of the church’s hierarchy for a generation. Now, the bishops are hearing their message repeated by an unexpected source: A liberal Democratic lawmaker in Texas who says no true Catholic can support abortion on demand.

Texas State Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., D-Brownsville, said he recently told a fellow Catholic Democrat, “There’s no way you can be Catholic and be pro-choice.” His only regret was the wording, saying he should have told State Senator Sylvia Garcia, D-Houston. “If you’re Catholic, based on the [Church’s] teachings, you should be pro-life.”

State Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., D-Brownsville

Lucio, who was sworn into his first elective office in 1971, has been willing to do more than talk about being pro-life. When the 20-week fetal pain abortion ban came up for a vote before the state senate, Lucio was the only Democrat to vote yes. And when Governor Rick Perry signed the bill into law, Lucio was the only Democrat at his side. The retiring Republican said in a statement, “Sen. Lucio is a tireless advocate for the citizens of South Texas who puts his faith before party lines as he works to improve lives for future Texans.”

Unlike many who voted for the bill out of concern for women’s health, Lucio says he voted yes in order to curb abortion outright and perhaps encourage adoption.

16-year-old girl became infertile from Gardasil vaccine: British Medical Journal

BY THADDEUS BAKLINSKI

August 8, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The British Medical Journal (BMJ) has reported that a healthy 16-year-old Australian girl lost all ovarian function and went into menopause after being injected with the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine Gardasil.

 

Dr. Deirdre Little, the Australian physician who treated the girl, provides solid evidence that Gardasil caused the destruction of the girl’s fertility.

 She also pointed out that Merck Pharmaceutical, the manufacturer of Gardasil, has no supporting information on the effects of the vaccine on ovaries, suggesting that Merck had either done no safety testing on Gardasil in relation to its effects on women’s reproductive systems, or had suppressed the information.

Dr. Little’s report states that before the Gardasil vaccination, the girl had regular menstrual cycles, had been thoroughly examined and tested, and had no family or personal medical history that could explain the premature menopause.

Mourdock: “Life is the gift we should all work to protect”

On July 17, Mourdock was the keynote speaker at an event in Fort Wayne, Indiana called “A Hard look at the Hard Cases.” The panel was made up of individuals who some might say didn’t have the same right to life as everyone else

Mourdock stated that in his early political career he was a hypocrite when it came to the exceptions of rape and incest. “I started to think of this issue and started to realize that I was a hypocrite. As special as I thought life was out there to be created by God, somehow I thought I had the power to say which life was, and which life was not.”

Rebecca Kiessling, founder of Save the 1, says that she owes her life to pro-life advocates, legislators and voters who fought to keep abortion illegal even in cases of rape. Other panel members including Pam Stenzel, Jim Sable and me were also protected by the law before the infamous Roe versus Wade Supreme Court ruling. All three of us will tell you that if abortion would have been legal, we probably wouldn’t have been sitting there that night. We all extend our thanks to Mourdock for his hard stance on abortion that protects lives like ours. Cathie Humbarger, Executive Director of Allen County Right to Life, summed it up best when she said at the event, “Being pro-life has a price.”

At this event Mourdock got a huge surprise when the newest members of Save the 1, Ashley and Aiden from Elwood, Indiana, were introduced on stage next to him. Then 13-year-old Ashley was raped almost the same day that Mourdock misspoke at the debate. Mourdock looked at the face of little Aiden in the arms of his mother and tears welled up in his eyes. Both Ashley and Mourdock were both going through so many struggles those next several weeks and months after that fateful night in 2012. Did Mourdock’s words at the debate speak directly to Ashley? Did his stance on the life of her unborn baby help her make her decision to carry Aiden to term and give him the gift of life? Possibly!

Mourdock said it best at the Hard Cases event: “God’s purpose continues…Life is the gift we should all work to protect.
