He told how he and Chantelle, 15, decided against an abortion after discovering she was pregnant.
Enfin la double réalisation du féminisme "un bébé où je veux quand je veux" et de la libération sexuelle. La France prend encore du retard, Sabine Hérold a encore du chemin à parcourir pour rattraper son idole Tatcher.

Mitt Romney Defends Abortion Stance After Internet Video Appears
by jasontromm
The debut of a video on the Internet this week is causing more headaches for potential Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor and recent pro-life convert was forced to defend his newfound beliefs after a 1994 video surfaced showing him defending legalized abortion.
Responding to the video, Romney appeared on a radio talk show and said, "I was wrong on some issues back then."
"If you want to know where I stand by the way, you don't just have to listen to my words, you can go to look at my record as governor," Romney said during an appearance on the "Glenn and Helen Show," a radio program.

by jasontromm
An autopsy on the body of a baby girl found at a Hialeah, Fla., abortion business shows her arrival is being considered a birth, but it also notes that her cause of death was "extreme prematurity."

Operation Rescue seeks abortion business closure
by jasontromm
An abortion business in Huntsville, Ala., should be closed down after the state Health Department cited the location for violating 10 state laws, according to the front-line pro-life Operation Rescue.
According to officials, the Alabama Women's Center for Reproductive Alternatives was found to have been forwarding after-hours medical emergencies to non-medical personnel, routinely failing to document the gestational age of the unborn baby, and releasing abortion patients without following the mandatory 20-minute recovery period, according to a statement from Operation Rescue.
Jihad is fun! Vote Democrat!
by jasontromm
Democrats can't not be crazy. They will instantly set to work enacting a national gay-marriage law, impeachment hearings, slavery reparations and a series of new federal felonies for abortion clinic protesters. The only way to get Democrats to focus on terrorists would be to convince them that the terrorists are interfering with a woman's right to choose or that commercial jetliners exploding in midair are a threat to America's wetlands.
Abortion Chic
by jasontromm
As public relations campaigns go, proudly proclaiming "We Had Abortions'" probably isn't going to win any Addy awards.
Such is the gist of Ms. Magazine's current campaign to thwart trends toward curtailment of abortion. The Oct. 10 issue of the feminist magazine features a cover story titled "We Had Abortions," as well as a petition signed by thousands of women who, well, have had abortions.
And who are not one bit sorry.
()() Bragging about having an abortion is just sick. Women used to be ashamed when they were forced to wear a scarlet letter on their chest.
Abortion Activists Pelt Pro-Life People With Eggs at North Carolina Life Chain
by jasontromm
More than 1,100 people participated in the 16th Life Chain in Wilmington and they lined the streets with non-graphic pro-life signs saying women who have abortions can be healed and that they are praying for abortion to stop in the United States.
However, some abortion advocates pelted participants with eggs and some activists took the signs away from the people holding them.
Singer: OK to kill babies after they're born
by jasontromm
An internationally known Princeton "bioethicist" and animal-rights activist says he'd kill disabled babies if it were in the "best interests" of the family, because he sees no distinction in the child's life whether it is born or not, and the world already allows abortion.
The comments come from Peter Singer, a controversial bioethics professor, who responded to a series of questions in the UK Independent this week.
()() I wonder how many pro-choice people would agree with this so-called ethicist? Or do they think he hurts their cause to keep abortion "safe and legal?"
Pharmacists Don't Want to Sell Morning After Pill Despite FDA Approval
by jasontromm
The Food and Drug Administration may have approved sales of the morning after pill over the counter, but some pharmacists are reluctant to sell the drug. The agency's move to sell Plan B without a prescription may expand the nationwide debate about a conscience clause for pharmacists to allow them to opt out of dispensing the drug.
()() The widespread practice of abortion as birth control in the Unied States will end with a whimper. We won't need the big bang of a Roe v. Wade being overturned.
Abortion: An inherently dangerous business
by jasontromm
Recent investigations at abortion clinics in several states have shown that such businesses are not just a danger to unborn children, but also to the immediate health and welfare of the mothers that enter their doors. In the past two months, Alabama's health department has shut down two of the state's 10 abortion clinics for health code violations and Florida's health department has shut down five.

A federal court of appeals unanimously struck down a Florida school board policy barring students from distributing religious literature on campus.

The Myth of Mass Back-Alley Abortion Deaths
by jasontromm

Dr. Bernard Nathanson, co-founder of the National Abortion Rights Action League, admits his group lied about the number of women who died from legal abortions when testifying before the Supreme Court in 1972. "We spoke of 5,000 - 10,000 deaths a year ... I confess that I knew the figures were totally false ... it was a useful figure, widely accepted, so why go out of our way to correct it with honest statistics?"

The Church and the Culture Wars
There they go again. The liberal media, it seems, likes nothing better than to play up what they see (or create) as divisions in the evangelical ranks. This Sunday’s New York Times featured a front-page story about Gregory Boyd, an evangelical pastor in Minnesota who is highly critical of the religious right and refuses to talk about abortion or other cultural war issues from his pulpit.
New Tactic in Abortion-Foe Fight: Evicting Clinics
by jasontromm
If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em.
That's the tactic that an anti-abortion group in Wichita, Kan., took when it boasted about its purchase of a former abortion facility building and subsequent plans to convert it into a memorial for aborted fetuses.
Operation Rescue bought the former site of Central Women's Services weeks after the abortion clinic sold its equipment and closed the doors -- a tactic used before by similar groups that may increase.
()() Isn't this the same tactic used by environmental wackos? If you can't beat 'em, evict 'em. Why is it OK for liberal groups to use this tactic, but not conservative groups?
