Ron Paul if for LIFE
Topic: Just the Facts

Ron Paul: 

The right of an innocent, unborn child to life is at the heart of the American ideals of liberty. My professional and legislative record demonstrates my strong commitment to this pro-life principle.

In 40 years of medical practice, I never once considered performing an abortion, nor did I ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.

In Congress, I have authored legislation that seeks to define life as beginning at conception, HR 1094.

I am also the prime sponsor of HR 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v Wade by removing the ability of federal courts to interfere with state legislation to protect life. This is a practical, direct approach to ending federal court tyranny which threatens our constitutional republic and has caused the deaths of 45 million of the unborn.

I have also authored HR 1095, which prevents federal funds to be used for so-called “population control.”

Many talk about being pro-life. I have taken direct action to restore protection for the unborn.

As an OB/GYN doctor, I’ve delivered over 4,000 babies. That experience has made me an unshakable foe of abortion. Many of you may have read my book, Challenge To Liberty, which champions the idea that there cannot be liberty in a society unless the rights of all innocents are protected. Much can be understood about the civility of a society in observing its regard for the dignity of human life.

The Echo of Silent Screams of Innocents
Topic: Fable Excerpts



Jo Sef had an excruciatingly uneasy feeling - a horrible, nagging, gripping terror in the pit of his belly feeling. The echo of silent screams of innocents was reaching back through time from out of the future to grip his heart in a vice. But he was tortured by something even more, some memory he could not lay hold of, some dread he could not explain. There was something he must do. Someplace he needed to be. Someplace he had to be! Jo Sef's whole world had changed in an instant and nothing for him would ever be the same again.

THE ISLAND, Hollywood's unexpected pro-life movie, comes out on DVD today.

A lot of action. A little romance. Good movie!

Please tell me, did anyone else notice this after Terri's death?
Topic: Musings

The days that Terri Schiavo was denied water and nourishment up to the moment of her death were a nightmare for those of us in the country who could see that it was inhumane and barbaric. Especially knowing that she had been denied the opportunity to receive proper rehabilitation. I felt a constant anguish that didn't let up - and it deepened as the days drug on. Witnessing the misery that the brutal injustice was inflicting on her parents and siblings was heartbreaking. Watching the unflinching arrogance of Michael Schiavo and his attorney was frustrating and aggravating. And what the heck are Executive Orders for if not to step in at a time like this and demand mercy? Oh, I forgot, only criminals warrant such consideration and intervention.

But this is what I wanted to ask those of you who participate in ProLifeBlogs. Did anyone have a gut wrenching reaction to a commercial that aired repeatedly shortly after Terri's death? I have heard of movie release dates being changed because it would be insensitive to the victims of some unexpected calamity or crime to release the movie at the planned time. I know of TV episodes that were canceled or delayed because to air them at the scheduled time would be insensitive to those suffering great and unexpected true life misfortune that mirrored the fictional TV drama. The scene where Spiderman had spun a web between the twin towers of the World Trade Center was taken completely out of the movie because of the tragedy on 911. So how is it that this particular commercial aired over and over shortly after Terri's death, rubbing salt into our collective wound?

The TV commercial was for some sports drink, I can't remember specifically which one. It would show individual athletes, mid-stride, breaking into shattered pieces, collapsing into a human pile of crunchy, broken rubble. Then the commercial pointed out that if that person had only used their product they would have stayed properly hydrated. Every single time I saw that scene it would hurt. Every single time I would think of Terri. Did anyone else notice this? I think airing that commercial repeatedly at that moment in time was the epitome of insensitivity.

THE SAVAGE TRUTH Kinsey Rejoiced Over the Rape of More than 800 Children!
Topic: Outrageous

I should have remembered the old saying, "ignorance is bliss", before picking up Michael Savage's book, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. I've pretty much only personally known decent human beings during my lifetime. It would be difficult to comprehend that such evil exists exept for the fact that abortion exists. So I am not totally naive. I certainly smelled a rotten stench oozing off the theatre movie screen when I saw the trailer for the movie, Kinsey. The Golden Globes gave it the Best Motion Picture - Drama award. It received many more awards from various organizations including an Acadamy Award.

Judith Reisman, a Ph. D. scholar and researcher who investigated Kinsey's files discovered that he solicited and encouraged pedophiles at home and abroad to sexually violate infants and children for his alleged data on normal "child sexuality". Many of the severe sex crimes against children committed for the sake of Kinsey's research are quantified in his own graphs and charts.

Rex King, who was exposed as having raped more than 800 children, provided a constant stream of "research" over which Kinsey feasted and recorded in his notorious Table 34. In a letter dated November 24, 1944, Kinsey wrote King, saying, "I rejoice at everything you send, for I am then assured that much more of your material is saved for scientific publication."

And Hollywood makes a movie glorifying this man.

Michael Savage has more facts regarding Kinsey in his book, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. What an apt title.

HOW DEEPLY SHOULD YOU CRINGE? a massive viral outbreak of homophobic neo-Christians?
Topic: Musings

Murdering 4,000 preborn a day is civilized? But a loving and responsible couple welcoming 16 children into their home are thoughtless, selfish, baby-drunk people? You know what? At one time I had five children and the oldest was five (twins). And my husband and I had four more after that. So sue me! I didn't want to tell my Heavenly Father that his children were not welcome in our home - that they would "cramp my style". Our kids have grown into creative, responsible citizens with great senses of humor so I'm not apologizing to anyone. I have personally known a family in my home town that had sixteen children. All hardy, intelligent, decent human beings. I'm guessing the world could use more of those.

Column below by Mark Morford at SFGate.com
God Does Not Want 16 Kids
Arkansas mom gives birth to a whole freakin' baseball team. How deeply should you cringe?

Who are you to judge? Who are you to say that the more than slightly creepy 39-year-old woman from Arkansas who just gave birth to her 16th child yes that's right 16 kids and try not to cringe in phantom vaginal pain when you say it, who are you to say Michelle Duggar is not more than a little unhinged and sad and lost?

And furthermore, who are you to suggest that her equally troubling husband -- whose name is, of course, Jim Bob and he's hankerin' to be a Republican senator and try not to wince in sociopolitical pain when you say that -- isn't more than a little numb to the real world, and that bringing 16 hungry mewling attention-deprived kids (and she wants more! Yay!) into this exhausted world zips right by "touching" and races right past "disturbing" and lurches its way, heaving and gasping and sweating from the karmic armpits, straight into "Oh my God, what the hell is wrong with you people?"

But that would be, you know, mean. Mean and callous to suggest that this might be the most disquieting photo you see all year, this bizarre Duggar family of 18 spotless white hyperreligious interchangeable people with alarmingly bad hair, the kids ranging in ages from 1 to 17, worse than those nuked Smurfs in that UNICEF commercial and worse than all the horrific rubble in Pakistan and worse than the cluster-bomb nightmare that is Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise having a child as they suck the skin from each other's Scientological faces and even worse than that huge 13-foot python which ate that six-foot alligator and then exploded.

It's wrong to be this judgmental. Wrong to suggest that it is exactly this kind of weird pathological protofamily breeding-happy gluttony that's making the world groan and cry and recoil, contributing to vicious overpopulation rates and unrepentant economic strain and a bitter moral warpage resulting from a massive viral outbreak of homophobic neo-Christians across our troubled and Bush-ravaged land. Or is it?

Is it wrong to notice how all the Duggar kids' names start with the letter J (Jeremiah and Josiah and Jedediah and Jesus, someone please stop them), and that if you study the above photo (or the even more disturbing family Web site) too closely you will become rashy and depressed and you will crave large quantities of alcohol and loud aggressive music to deflect the creeping feeling that this planet is devolving faster than you can suck the contents from a large bong? But I'm not judging.

I have a friend who used to co-babysit (yes, it required two sitters) for a family of 10 kids, and she reports that they were, almost without fail, manic and hyper and bewildered and attention deprived in the worst way, half of them addicted to prescription meds to calm their neglected nerves and the other half bound for years of therapy due to complete loss of having the slightest clue as to who they actually were, lost in the family crowd, just another blank, needy face at the table. Is this the guaranteed affliction for every child of very large families? Of course not. But I'm guessing it's more common than you imagine.

What's more, after the 10th kid popped out, the family doctor essentially prohibited the baby-addicted mother from having any more offspring, considering the pummeling endured by her various matronly systems, and it's actually painful to imagine the logistics, the toll on Michelle Duggar's body, the ravages it has endured to give birth to roughly one child per year for nearly two decades, and you cannot help but wonder about her body and its various biological and sexual ... no, no, it is not for this space to visualize frighteningly capacious vaginal dimensions. It is not for this space to imagine this couple's soggy sexual mutations. We do not have enough wine on hand for that.

Perhaps the point is this: Why does this sort of bizarre hyperbreeding only seem to afflict antiseptic megareligious families from the Midwest? In other words -- assuming Michelle and Jim Bob and their massive brood of cookie-cutter Christian kidbots will all be, as the charming photo suggests, never allowed near a decent pair of designer jeans or a tolerable haircut from a recent decade, and assuming that they will all be tragically encoded with the values of the homophobic asexual Christian right -- where are the forces that shall help neutralize their effect on the culture? Where is the counterbalance, to offset the damage?

Where is, in other words, the funky tattooed intellectual poetess who, along with her genius anarchist husband, is popping out 16 funky progressive intellectually curious fashion-forward pagan offspring to answer the Duggar's squad of ?ber-white future Wal-Mart shoppers? Where is the liberal, spiritualized, pro-sex flip side? Verily I say unto thee, it ain't lookin' good.

Perhaps this the scariest aspect of our squishy birthin' tale: Maybe the scales are tipping to the neoconservative, homogenous right in our culture simply because they tend not to give much of a damn for the ramifications of wanton breeding and environmental destruction and pious sanctimony, whereas those on the left actually seem to give a whit for the health of the planet and the dire effects of overpopulation. Is that an oversimplification?

Why does this sort of thoughtfulness seem so far from the norm? Why is having a stadiumful of offspring still seen as some sort of happy joyous thing?

You already know why. It is the Biggest Reason of All. Children are, after all, God's little gifts. Kids are little blessings from the Lord, the Almighty's own screaming spitballs of joy. Hell, Jim Bob said so himself, when asked if the couple would soon be going for a 17th rug rat: "We both just love children and we consider each a blessing from the Lord. I have asked Michelle if she wants more and she said yes, if the Lord wants to give us some she will accept them." This is what he actually said. And God did not strike him dead on the spot.

Let us be clear: I don't care what sort of God you believe in, it's a safe bet that hysterical breeding does not top her list of desirables. God does not want more children per acre than there are ants or mice or garter snakes or repressed pedophilic priests. We already have three billion humans on the planet who subsist on less than two dollars a day. Every other child in the world (one billion of them) lives in abject poverty. We are burning through the planet's resources faster than a Republican can eat an endangered caribou stew. Note to Michelle Duggar: If God wanted you to have a massive pile of children, she'd have given your uterus a hydraulic pump and a revolving door. Stop it now.

Ah, but this is America, yes? People should be allowed to do whatever the hell they want with their families if they can afford it and if it's within the law and so long as they aren't gay or deviant or happily flouting Good Christian Values, right? Shouldn't they? Hell, gay couples still can't openly adopt a baby in most states (they either lie, or one adopts and the other must apply as "co-parent"), but Michelle Duggar can pop out 16 kids and no one says, oh my freaking God, stop it, stop it now, you thoughtless, selfish, baby-drunk people.

No, no one says that. That would be mean.

...So that is how it came to be that Nanah Cub was sent to The Dimension of Barbarik to be tested within the mantle of a physical body without his Tare Ree. But before he left he made her a solemn oath. He would spend his whole Life in search of Clues, enough to allow him to discover the exact time and place of her arrival. With all memory of their time together erased he would still somehow remember and he promised that he would be there to greet her upon her own entry into The Dimension of Barbarik. He was gazing deep into Tare Ree's eyes even as his spirit was fading away from The Dimension of Souls, sealing the promise he had made to her into his heart's memory forever.

GEORGE (Trust Me) BUSH REQUESTED THAT THE PRO-LIFE PLANK NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE G.O.P. PLATFORM

In 1996, George Bush learned the hard way it was a mistake to try to remove the anti-abortion plank in the GOP platform. He sent a messenger to the Resolutions (Platform) Committee of the Texas State Republican Convention asking that the pro-life plank not be included in the platform. It was voted for unanimously. As a result, Bush was denied the privilege of leading his own delegation to National Convention because too many delegates did not trust him on the pro-life issue.

Many Republicans believed that Mr. Bush would be naming people of a more conservative bent to the U.S. Supreme Court. Before making such a supposition, it would be a good idea to look at Mr. Bush’s track record. He had signed a bill naming a highway after an infamous abortionist from Houston, John B. Coleman, who, among other things, faced medical malpractice lawsuits involving abortions at the time of his death. There were many excuses given for his signature on the bill, but the fact remains that President Bush had promised not to sign it.

Was it just pandering to the pro-choice vote that had him comment, when visiting New Jersey, that he couldn't wait to campaign with Christine Todd Whitman not only in New Jersey but all over America. As the governor of New Jersey she consistently stood with the pro-abortion, feminist lobby and even vetoed the partial birth abortion ban passed by the New Jersey legislature.

While Governor of Texas, President Bush also appointed Martha Hill Jamison to the 164th District Court in Houston. Mrs. Jamison is the daughter of former Democratic Attorney General, John Hill, and had just recently turned Republican. She was still a supporter of Planned Parenthood and the Gay and Lesbian political caucus.

In Texas when a Supreme Court place is vacated during mid-term, the governor may appoint someone to fill that spot until the next election. Bush appointed four members to that court. Texas law required that parents be notified prior to the performance of an abortion on a minor. In March, the Texas Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision refused to uphold a decision by a lower court ruling that a 17 year old girl is not mature enough to make an abortion decision without notifying her parents. Three of the votes vacating the decision were from Bush’s four appointments to the Texas Supreme Court. They were instrumental in virtually nullifying the parental notification law which Mr. Bush proclaimed that he supported. Are we supposed to believe that his current choice for the Supreme Court will be any better?

More importantly, we know that you will not make a pregnancy decision based on politics - that your concerns are for your family, your future, and yourself.

Those kids, when they find out that they are pregnant, may not want an abortion; they may want information. But when they call that number, which is paid for by abortion money, what kind of information do you think they're going to get?

Second Step - get appointed as a White House counsel to a United States President. It will take years to maneuver, manipulate and insinuate herself into the right place at the right time for this to happen. Third - over time learn all about the President's dirty laundry. Finally - when the time is right, threaten to reveal his damning secrets to the world if he does not give her the nomination for Supreme Court Justice. She is doggedly determined that her plan will work, allowing no one to stand in her way. Her plan succeeds and her true self is unleashed on an unsuspecting public.
