By John Williams On July 27, 2013, former Democratic congresswoman Lindy Boggs died at the age of 97. She achieved a number of firsts in her career, including being the first woman to serve in Congress from Louisiana…
She was also known for strongly championing a number of causes. One of those causes was opposition to abortion. NPR aired four pieces after Boggs’ death that remembered her, mentioning just about every major achievement and cause of Boggs—except her commitment to fighting abortion and the resulting significant impact that stand had on her career.

No longer do we define food and water as basic and ordinary care. Patients’ feeding tubes are now regarded as “medical treatment”, whether it is needed for a short period of time or for those who need one more permanently. And, if in fact you are aware of that change, how many know that depending on what state you live in, removing a feeding tube from a patient can happen despite the patient’s advance directive stating that they want a feeding tube?
Unless people start taking responsibility to educate themselves on this issue and on how the laws and the narrative are being changed, it is only going to get worse. Not to mention the consequences of Obamacare, which is in the process of taking over our health care, and which is going to put our medically vulnerable at more risk and in the sites of the government‘s crosshairs.

After CRS claimed it is “simply false” that they are distributing contraceptives in Madagascar, quotes from an archbishop and clergy in the African country support the report.
“Even in my own diocese! Without my knowledge,…they [CRS] were working on an artificial contraception project here,” said Archbishop Désiré Tsarahazana of Toamasina.
As part of a month-long investigation in the fall of 2012, the Population Research Institute interviewed clergy in Madagascar, including two archbishops, who shared grave concerns about CRS’ work in the country.
According to PRI, the bishops went public with them after they had held a private meeting with CRS’ president, Dr. Carolyn Woo, to no avail.
They released the archbishops’ quotes Wednesday after CRS accused them and other pro-life groups on Tuesday of carrying out “unrelenting attacks” that “attempt to cause division in the Body of Christ” and are “harmful to the Church and to the pro-life cause.”

“I started taking birth control pills in January 2011. By May of that year, my doctor discovered that a blood clot had developed in my right leg and spread to my lungs,” wrote Jamie Hergenrader in an article published in the Huffington Post.
“The pain in my hip, the swelling of my entire right leg and the breathing difficulty I experienced should’ve scared me enough to check it out,” she remarked, but she rationalized away her symptoms.

I was 20 years old when my then girlfriend now wife called me and revealed to me that she was pregnant. At that time we were not even together we had split up mostly because I was a jerk. We had only been dating 3 months. and in that time managed to create life. It’s funny because although I had little regard for others and only thought about myself when she told me the news I was ecstatic. I couldn’t believe it, although I was to ignorant to make sound decisions I never thought of that baby as being a burden or not worthy of life. Thankfully my girlfriend felt the same way as I. There were people who immediately stated that abortion was an option but those thoughts never ran through my mind. It has been ten years since God gifted me and my wife with that beautiful miracle and not a day goes by that I am not thankful for her and the 4 soon to be 5 other brothers and sisters. We did not have the training we were not prepared I was immature and my life style was not a good one. But I can not imagine not having my beautiful baby girl in my life. To say that she saved me is an understatement I went from being that sorry excuse of a man to who I am now mostly due to the family we have become. If you feel you can not take care of a child or that a child will hinder you–those are lies, you have been given the greatest gift God allows us to have on earth. God promises that if we follow him he will take care of the rest, my life is a testimony to that. I know that this is not a near abortion story because we never thought of that as an option, but it is a story of how a baby that was unexpected changed my life for the better.

The Ten Dumbest Things Said in Defense of Abortion
The past few years haven’t been great for abortion.
More and more people are calling themselves pro-life, including more young Americans than ever before. Pro-life laws are being passed in record numbers each year. While it would be foolish to say that pro-lifers are winning the war on abortion, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that we’re making progress — and that has the pro-aborts panicking.
Some pretty crazy statements are being made in their desperate attempt to keep abortion on demand legal at any time, for any reason. Some are flat-out ridiculous, some are insulting, and others chilling. These are ten of the dumbest things said in defense of abortion.

By Lauren Enriquez A massage chair? iPad-controlled music and lighting? Sonograms that are sent directly and automatically to a physician? These are just a few of the jaw-dropping features that Joe Baker of Save the Storks excitedly enumerated
In the past, the pro-life movement has sometimes lagged behind up-to-date marketing, technology, and outreach technologies. Save the Storks, along with other impressive technological endeavors like the iIncarnate app and Online for Life, has firmly and definitively put that stigma to rest.
The sonogram system in the Stork buses is also state-of-the-art. They are emailed automatically to a cooperating physician who will review them promptly. “If there’s something wrong with the baby,” Joe says for example, “then it gets reviewed and addressed right away.”
