The #1 abortuary in Alabama started a fund-raiser called “Adopt an Anti” in which pro-aborts “adopt” a specific pro-lifer who habitually comes to the clinic to pray, promising to make a $5 or $10 donation to the clinic each time the adoptee shows up.
Seriously! An ADOPTION campaign at a clinic that offers NO adoption services for pregnant women who might want to choose something other than infanticide.
‘Bama Students for Life responded with their own fund-raiser called “Adopt an Abortion Abolitionist” in which pro-lifers adopt a specific group member and makes a donation to Students for Life whenever that person goes to the clinic to pray.
Adopt an Anti plans to use the funds they raise to help kill more babies.
Students for Life plan to use the funds to help support needy young mothers.
Planned Parenthood is pissed about the Fifth Circuit ordering immediate enforcement of Texas’ abortion safety law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a local hospitalso women injured by botched abortions can get swift attention.
Calling this a “dangerous and extreme law”, Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, explained why they’re asking the US Supreme Courtto hear their appeal:
“Your rights … should not depend on your zip code.”
Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day. It just so happens I totally agree with Cecile, though obviously not in the way she means it.
I think your right to life should not depend on your “zip code” either.
In the same month that Republican Texas made abortion safer for women by requiring abortions be performed only by physicians with hospital privileges, Democrat California went the other way, empowering nurse practitioners, certified nurse midwives and physician assistants to perform aspiration abortions.

Nov 1, 2013: Effective Immediately, Appeals Court Allows Texas Abortion Law to Take Effect
October 31, 2013: The Federal 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans upheld most of the Texas law that provides more rigorous health and safety standards for abortion clinics.
Included in the provisions that went into effect immediately was the requirement that abortionists maintain local hospital privileges. About a third of Texas’ 41 abortion clinics are without hospital privileges and must stop providing abortions.
Among these is late-term abortionist Douglas Karpen, who was ratted out by four former employees for doing illegal, post-24-week abortions and murdering any babies born alive. Karpen remains under an open criminal investigation.
Also in the provisions that went into effect immediately … lowering the gestational age at which unborn Texans become “persons” deserving of protection under the law. The limit was 24-weeks. It is now 20-weeks. Texas lowered the limit based on evidence that unborn babies feel pain, making abortions unacceptably cruel.

Enemies are awful and enemies are mean.
But all their wicked, wicked deeds
by God above are seen.
Now God is all forgiving, but God is also good.
And God will sort them out one day
just like we wish we could.
I was particularly interested in the article linked below, because of its emphasis on hall width regulations. My hubby is an architect. I’ve spent hours typing reports for buildings he’s designed for group homes for the disabled, reports that had to be submitted to state authorities to prove these buildings met code on things like the sizes of windows, halls, and door openings.
This stuff matters. It’s about accessibility.
Any facility that is going to be inhabited must have sufficiently large windows to allow people to get out in case of a fire or other emergency. Any facility that is going to be used by people in wheelchairs must have ramps and halls and doors wide enough for their chairs to navigate. And out-patient surgical facilities must have ramps, doors and hallways wide enough to allow patients on stretchers to be transported to a hospital.
If you hear pro-aborts sneering about “onerous” hall width regulations, be aware that what they are rolling their eyes about are STANDARD CODE REGULATIONS that could mean the difference between a patient who has had a bad drug reaction or is bleeding uncontrollably making it to a hospital in time to receive life-saving treatment … or not. Here’s an example:
If ANY building with an elevator is required to have at least one that can handle an emergency stretcher, then how much MORE important is it that a building where out-patient surgery is done regularly have the same kind of regulations?
Virginia’s Blood-Spattered Abortion Clinics And Onerous Hallway Widths By Mollie Hemingway – October 25, 2013
When an Arlington County, Virginia, judge ruled that a lawsuit challenging regulations of Virginia abortion clinics could move forward, the Washington Post ran a news report emphasizing that the clinic regulations even mandate the width of hallways. It said that providers worry that complying with the regulations would put them out of business. …
Saturday, October 12, 2013: Pro-Abortion Thugs @ March for the Babies 2013 – Melbourne, Australia
Saturday, October 12, 2013: As police refused to help the peaceful marchers participating in a planned event, more than a thousand pro-abortion activisits mobbed, menaced and physically assaulted pro-life advocates and a member of Parliament at the Australia March for Life.
Bryan Kemper reported he and other pro-lifers were hit, stepped on, and had things have been thrown at him by pro-aborts, who blared loud heavy metal rock music, blew air horns and shrill whistles and pounded on drums to keep pro-lifers from being heard. They also took over the stage and ripped down the banners. Later, a member of Youth for Life Australia received this angry, shrill phone call: “I saw you at that march on Saturday, you’re nothing but a pro-life bigot, child f**ker, you molestering as***le, I know where you live and I’m coing to burn your house down.”
But one woman who came to participate in the anti-life protest said afterwards,“I came to this rally and watched both sides with curiosity. I have to admit I was planning to join the ‘other side’ and I was pretty excited, it was to be my first ever rally. I got the shock of my life when I saw how ugly they were and I had to sit down to stop myself trembling. I am having triplets, cancelling my abortion on Monday morning. Thank you. My heart has been changed.”
Sunday, October 6, 2013: On the eve of the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary
Faye Arellano stood quietly outside a Catholic church in Toronto, holding up a pro-life placard and a rosary. Her peaceful protest suddenly turned ugly when an unknown bystander grabbed her by the hair, smacked her to the ground, kicked and punched her repeatedly, then pulled a knife. A good samaritan helped shield her from the knife as police arrived and arrested the attacker. Faye, who sustained a concussion, says she lost her placard during the assault, but when she was rushed to hospital, she still had her rosary in her hand.“Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death. Amen.”
Monday October 14, 2013: Another abortion clinic in Ohio has shut down
The Cleveland Center for Women’s Health, owned by late-term abortionist Martin Ruddock, is the third abortion clinic in Ohio to close its doors in the past six months. Ruddock has a history of running afoul of state health regulations. Upon inspection in 2006, Ruddock’s clinic was cited by the Ohio Department of Health and closed temporarily for failing to meet basic health standards, such as checking a patient’s vitals before performing a late-term abortion. The permanent shut-down is due in part to Ohio’s law prohibiting abortions late in pregnancy.
The “save the life of the mother” exception is a lie
Way back in 1972, when abortion’s legality was still being debated, the medical director of the Pittsburgh Planned Parenthood, Dr. Rose R. Middleman, was quoted as saying: “It’s extremely rare, if nonexistent, for a physician to have a medical reason to abort a woman in the 7th or 8th month.”
The reason is that no matter what, the mother must deliver the child, either via labor and delivery or via a C-section, The only difference between a late abortion and an early birth is whether the child is killed or cared for.
Dr. Middleman’s statement “It’s extremely rare, if nonexistent” was in 1972! Since then, medical science has advanced tremendously, with younger and younger premies surviving. My brother’s triplets were all 2 to 3 lbs and nearly died shortly after birth. They’re all college graduates now.
How much MORE true is it now that “late abortion to save the mother” is nothing but a political slogan?
Audio recording of a real Obamacare help line call [14,26]
QUOTE from Obamacare help line (begins at about 5:00 in to this phone call recording): “The Affordable Care Act requires that most people maintain health insurance. … In 2014 [the fee for failing to buy and maintain health insurance] is 1% of your yearly income or $95 per person for the year, whichever is higher. Uninsured children would be $47.50 per child … The most any family would have to pay is $285, but the amount will go up after 2014. … In 2015, the fee per person rises to $325 per person or $975 per family or 2% of income, whichever is higher. … For 2016, the fee per person increases to $695 or $2,085 per family or 2.5% of your household income, whichever is higher. … From 2017 on, the fee will rise each year with inflation.”
NOTE: He keeps calling this thing a “fee”, but the Supreme Court ruled that it’s really a TAX … a TAX levied on any American who refuses to purchase and maintain a health insurance policy that meets the federal standards. (Please note: These standards include paying for abortion.) That’s all it is. A punishment for NOT buying something you DON’T want. Paying the fee won’t get you health coverage.
So … “let me answer your jail question real quick ……………….. pause ………………… there are no liens or penalties for not paying the fee.”
What a relief. They’ll just put a lien on future overpayment of taxes. This presumes the guy is not lying or they don’t change the rules.SCOTUS said the Obamacare fee is a LEGAL TAX. The IRS can levy fees, fines and liens for non-payment of tax. Therefore, all they have to do is say, “Oops, we didn’t realize this was a tax when we wrote this ‘no liens or penalties’ blah blah, so now there will be.” In this case then the IRS would be empowered to suck out and freeze your bank accounts, confiscate your property and/or send you to jail.
All it would take is a slight change to the regs.
Just like the “slight change” they made when they went from“Oh no WAY will Obamacare force people to pay for abortion” (Executive Order by Prez Obama) to “Everybody will pay for abortion” (HHS Mandate by HHS Sec Sebelius)
Comments Off on It’s not free and you will be fined
A year ago, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius issued a “preventive services” regulation under Obamacare. This regulation requires almost all health care plans to cover, without fees or co-pay, sterilizations, artificial contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs.
The U.S. Catholic bishops have unanimously condemned this regulation. Calling it “illegal and unjust”, the bishops have encouraged all American Catholics to disobey it.
In October of 2012, the Catholic Kennedy family that owns Autocam sued the government over this issue.
Last month, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit ruled against them, saying the sole owners’ First Amendment rights don’t count, because “the mandate falls on Autocam.”
It does not matter to the court that the Kennedys are the sole owners of Autocom or that they are great bosses to their 661 employees, precisely because they live their Catholic-Christian faith in every aspect of their business.
The Kennedys intend to appeal their case to the Supreme Court.
ObamaCare never has and never will be about helping the poor. If they’d ever given a toot about actual people, they’d have reformed health care in the practical ways the GOP proposed, ways that WORK.
Allow citizens to buy insurance plans anywhere, not just within their own states.
Switch tax subsidies from employers to individuals so everyone gets insurance as individuals, regardless of where they work.
These two changes alone would’ve opened up a huge market of health insurance plans of all shapes, sizes and premium levels.
These two changes would’ve freed people trapped in jobs they hate because they don’t dare lose their employer-based insurance plan.
These two changes would’ve created low-cost catastrophic coverage options that uninsured people in low-paying service industry jobs where insurance isn’t included could afford.
Instead, they shoved ZeroCare down our throats, something that has a proven track record in many countries, including here (Medicare, Medicaid) of providing least care for most money. Why? Because it provides the most POWER and CONTROL and that’s what it was and is about.
The PTBs in DC rake in the bucks, then use them to pay off cronies and punish enemies. Case in point: Abortion.
ObamaCare mandates everybody pay directly into a fund that does nothing except buy abortions. IOW, they extort money from Pro-Lifers (mostly Republicans) and give it to abortionists who turn around and donate it to Pro-Abortion Democrat campaign coffers to ensure their right to kill goes unimpeded.
Do you think if Dems cared about actual people, Harry Reid could have EVER said what he did about kids with cancer? They don’t care who gets hurt during this government shut down, just so long as they hang on to their POWER.
