Let me start off with this statement before I go any further. The murder of Dr. Tiller in Kansas was just that, murder! It was a crime as reprehensible as the murders of the unborn that Dr. Tiller himself had performed for years! Period! For all his reprehensible acts over the years Dr. Tiller was a child of God. I pray for his soul and I ask that any of you, if you call yourselves Christians, to do the same.
That being said, here is the purpose of this post. Omaha area abortion "doctor" LeRoy Carhart has said something utterly offensive and reprehensible! He said the following about George Tiller following his murder, "This is the equivalent of Martin Luther King being assassinated," Dr. Carhart said of the May 31 slaying of one of America's best-known late-term abortion providers. "This is the equivalent of Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the Lusitania and any other major historic event where we've tolerated the intolerable for too long."

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Pro-Life movement, we are now "domestic terrorists" in the eyes of our foes and the Federal Government. Welcome to your martyrdom.
Fort Wayne/South Bend Bishop John M. D'Arcy has issued a statement about the sad controversy that has erupted at the University of Notre Dame. Bishop D'Arcy's statement can be read in it's entirety here.
In a sad contrast, the University of Notre Dame has issued a statement of their own. The University is standing firm in their determination to flush Church teaching away and scandalize millions of Catholics around the world. Here is a story on Notre Dame's statement. If you have not yet done so, please visit Notredamescandal.com to sign the petition against the honoring of President Obama. Stand up for truth NOW! The time for sitting on the sidelines is over. Stand up for TRUTH! Be Catholic!
Today is a dark day for the University of Notre Dame. It was just announced that the commencement speaker at this year's graduation will be none other than President Barack Obama. The call of the Holy Father for Catholic Institutions and Universities to speak the message of Christ to the world has fallen on deaf ears at this "once great" Catholic Institution of Higher Learning. This President has shown nothing short of utter disdain for the dignity of human beings. He has gone out of his way to promote the destruction of human life at every possible opportunity. Notre Dame is now condoning this despicable behavior by celebrating this man. He will be given an Honorary Law Degree at the commencement. Apparently it is not a doctorate of moral law! He could use a few lessons in that! My main beef here is with the leaders of Notre Dame University. You make my skin crawl! As a Catholic Institution you are called on to be a light of Christ to the world. If you think you are being this light then I suggest you take a few minutes and grab a copy of the Cathechism of the Catholic Church!
Another point in all this is that Notre Dame is being used by the President to subvert Catholic Teachings in this country. I do not think I am out of bounds when I say that I see a personal agenda against the Catholic Church in the policies of this administration. President Obama receives invitations from hundreds of universities each spring. Why did he choose to accept Notre Dame's invitation? While I can't read Obama's mind I can't help but see a pattern of false "catechising" of Catholics in this country. He seems to go out of his way to pick pro-abortion "catholics" for key places in his government. He institutes diabolical policies that will assure the deaths of millions more innocent children in this country. He has removed bans on U.S. tax dollars funding abortion around the world. Perhaps his goal is to make abortion our nation's number one export. Notre Dame is being used to promote this agenda! Think I'm being paranoid? You better wake up America! Societies throughout history that have practiced human sacrifice have been wiped off the face of the earth! Embryonic stem cell research is the modern era's human sacrifice! America's days are numbered and we have done it to ourselves. Don't sit on your hands and let this evil go unchallenged. Speak up! Let the University of Notre Dame know that enough is enough! Please check out this link to sign a petition to let the President of Notre Dame know how you feel! http://www.notredamescandal.com
It was learned yesterday that not only has President Obama now opened the door for federal funding of Destructive Embryonic Stem Cell Research, he has also defunded non-destructive ethical forms of research. I can't help but to point out what seems to be a more and more diabolical agenda of this administration to attack the unborn. War is being waged on the most innocent in our world and their only crime appears to have been their conception. Barbaric! I've said it before and I'll say it again and again. Pray for this country and our President. God Have Mercy On US ALL! AMDG See the related article below.
WASHINGTON, D.C., March 10, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Besides removing all restrictions on using taxpayer funds for embryo-destructive research yesterday, President Obama also formally rescinded a Bush-era executive order pushing for more research into the most promising and ethical forms of stem cell research.
The executive order signed yesterday by Obama specifically rescinded Executive Order 13435 of June 20, 2007.
Executive Order 13435 pushed the Secretary of Health and Human Services to "conduct and support research" on stem cells that "may result in improved understanding of or treatments for diseases and other adverse health conditions, but are derived without creating a human embryo for research purposes or destroying, discarding, or subjecting to harm a human embryo or fetus."

Well here we are again! On Monday President Barack Obama will publically unveil his newest executive order aimed at the unborn. This newest order will lift a ban on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research that has been in place for nearly eight years. The ban was originally put in place by President Bush in August of 2001 during his first term in office siting the procedures destruction of human life. Millions of dollars were instead placed behind research involving adult stem cell research. This approach has produced countless advances in medical research but has gone relatively unheralded by politicians, scientists, and news agencies around the country. An unnamed Obama official has been quoted as saying that the new Obama policy toward embryonic stem cell research will "restore scientific integrity to the process".
Integrity indeed! These are dangerous times we are living in. God is merciful and patient and He loves us all. Like any good Father God will not let His children continue to revel in sin and disobedience with being set straight. I call on all of you to make a stand for our innocent brothers and sisters who have been robbed of the dignity of being conceived naturally to loving married parents. They have been treated as a right or as a science experiment. Now they are being treated as something less than human. Something to be discarded for society's selfish needs. I agree that we should do anything to help find cures for disease, but not at the expense of human life. Don't sit on the fence and watch this public abomination rule the day. Don't sit on the fence of indifference and passively watch the world go by. God will one day reach down with His divine hand and shake the fence. Don't get caught sitting on it. Speak up! Pray, Pray, Pray! The innocent blood of millions cries out to heaven for justice. Pray that God will touch the hearts of all those who condone this horrible crime. Pray also that the Holy Spirit will inspire the hearts of us all to speak the truth and take a stand for good, not evil. All that evil needs to exist is for good men and women to do nothing. AMDG
In another clear assault on the unborn the Obama administration is paving the way to abolish rules put in place by the Bush administration at the end of their term. The rules stated that Health Care Providers (i.e. Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, etc.) who morally objected to abortion and contraceptives did not have to suspend their beliefs in their jobs. In what is really not a surprise to anyone on the Pro-Life side, the Obama White House says that such restrictions could lead to services such as Abortions and artificial contraceptives becoming less accessible to those who seek them. Basically if you object to these disordered things you need to suck it up and accept that the Culture of Death outweighs your rights not to commit sin and take part in the diabolical agenda that is now commonplace in this country. Lord Jesus Have Mercy on this Nation. Now is the time, more than ever before, for the faithful to stand up for Truth. If you don't know what Truth is then I suggest a little trip to your nearest Catholic Church to spend some time with Our Lord in the Eucharist. Don't be like Pontius Pilate who looked THE TRUTH in the eyes and asked, "What is Truth?" To quote Father John Corapi, "Pontius Pilate should be the patron saint of modern politicians." PRAY THE ROSARY DAILY AND ASK FOR MERCY!!! AMDG
This was too good not to post. When adults fail to do what is right and stand up for the unborn the children have to do it.This just proves that everyone is born pro-life. You have to be taught to be pro-abortion.
Despite facing threats of disqualification, a 12-year-old girl took first place in a speech contest when she eloquently argued for the rights of unborn children – after an offended judge quit.
"What if I told you that right now, someone was choosing if you were going to live or die?" the seventh-grader begins in a video recording of her speech on YouTube. "What if I told you that this choice wasn't based on what you could or couldn't do, what you'd done in the past or what you would do in the future? And what if I told you, you could do nothing about it?"
The girl, a student at a Toronto school identified only as "Lia," continued:
"Fellow students and teachers, thousands of children are right now in that very situation. Someone is choosing without even knowing them whether they are going to live or die.
"That someone is their mother. And that choice is abortion."
But what made the 12-year-old choose to speak about abortion?
"It was really a family thing," her mother explained on the blog Moral Outcry. "I saw Lou [Engle] speak at a conference several years ago. I came back to my family with the Life Bands, and we all wore them, made our covenant, and prayed the prayer for abortion to end. … We were invited to participate in a 'Life Tape Siege.' Once my kids heard of this invitation, they all agreed: 'We have to do that!' Since then, Lia's passion for seeing abortion end has continued."
Despite Lia's enthusiasm for her topic, her teacher "strongly encouraged" her to select a different one for her class presentation or she would be considered ineligible for an upcoming speech contest.
"[S]everal teachers discouraged her from picking the topic of abortion; she was told it was 'too big,' 'too mature' and 'too controversial,'" her mother wrote. "She was also told that if she went ahead with that topic, she would not be allowed to continue on in the speech competition."
Lia's mother continued, "Initially, I tried helping her find other topics to speak on, but, in the end, she was adamant. She just felt she wanted to continue with the topic of abortion. So she forfeited her chance to compete in order to speak on something she was passionate about."
Lia's teacher was so impressed by the speech that she allowed her student to advance as the winner. Lia presented her speech to judges in front of her entire school on Feb. 10.
The school principal and teachers called Lia's presentation the "obvious winner" – but the judges suddenly disqualified her the following day "because of the topic and her position on abortion," her mother said.
Lia's father later revealed that the judges had a "big disagreement." One was offended by the speech and voluntarily stepped down while the others reversed their earlier decision – declaring her the winner.
Now Lia plans to take her message of life to a regional speech competition, and more than 100,000 visitors have viewed her presentation online.
"Why do we think that just because a fetus can't talk or do what we do, it isn't a human being yet?" She asks in the video. "Some babies are born after only five months. Is this baby not human?
"We would never say that. Yet abortions are performed on 5-month-old fetuses all the time. Or do we only call them humans if they're wanted?"
She continues, "No, fetuses are definitely humans – knit together in their mother's womb by their wonderful Creator who knows them all by name."
I am a cradle Catholic called to the vocation of Matrimony by God. Though I do not profess to understand it all, I believe everything that Holy Church has put forth for our belief because God has revealed it.
