Not just another baby. IT’S ANOTHER BABY! We take these things for granted. Because they happen all the time. Babies. Rainbows. Sunsets.
Either they are all mundane or they are all special and I prefer the latter view.

For a long time, I’ve thought about how we need more people to do good creative work that is pro-life. We need more good movies, documentaries and images that lead people to life. This can be done through movies like Bella–a feel good movie with beautiful imagery, showing the power of life.
It can also be done in a different way, by reminding people of what abortion actually is. The filmmakers responsible for FrackNation, Mine Your Own Business and the movie about Al Gore “Not Evil, Just Wrong” are asking for funding to help make a movie about America’s biggest serial killer. Unknown to the better part of North America, Kermit Gosnell was a late term abortionist who gruesomely murdered babies after birth in his Philadelphia clinic.
Hollywood won’t touch it because the subject is abortion.
Help them make this movie. It is going to be good. My only question for myself is how much money can I give right now. That should be the only question you ask yourself as well. These are fine, honourable people (I met Phelim once, at the Freethinking Film Festival here in Ottawa) and was suitably impressed.
If you feel the same way I do, that this sort of influence on our culture is important, PLEASE DONATE. The quality of the outcome is guaranteed to be good, and few filmmakers are willing to take this on.
Here’s the link, again. Give them some dollars, and we can arrange for Canadian showings when it is finished.
Mark your calendars. Some upstanding young men are addressing how porn fuels the rape culture on campus. Important.
But this article is about how women don’t speak with one voice on birth control. I agree.
It also strikes me that we don’t even have the expectation that all men need to speak with one voice. Why so for women?
Good satire bites, and this piece is good satire.
There’s a fundraising effort to pay for abortions going on in the USA. Since I can’t say anything better than Matt Walsh already did, just read his piece. All the way to the end.
They are giving out coat hangar necklaces when you donate. It’s not a joke. I just checked their web site. I thought to myself, I can’t be responsible for posting an Onion satire piece on my blog as reality.
Imagine how ideological you have to be to wear such a necklace.
Matt Walsh lays bare the facts on safe abortions today.
“Safe” abortions have killed at least 400 women.
The “reproductive health care industry” funnels them through, takes their money, and spits them out the other end, leaving many (all) to deal with the very real consequences. According to the Elliot Institute, 31 percent of post abortive women report physical complications, while 65 percent suffer from PTSD.
A peer reviewed study, published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, found that women who’ve had abortions suffer from an 81 percent higher risk of mental health problems.
Worst of all, the suicide rate among these women is tragic and startling.
Safe?
Safe for who, exactly?
Safe for the abortionists, I guess.
We need a cultural renewal. Very quickly. People–equip yourselves, go listen to Stephanie Gray on repeat, do what it takes. Because the only thing worse than my tax dollars paying for abortions are private agencies promoting them. And giving you jewellery when you give them enough money.
LifeSiteNews has done a little video here, about Steven Tyler of Aerosmith coercing his girlfriend into having an abortion.

I just thought this was so sweet. March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day.

Opponents of these very straight forward ads have written a petition against them saying this:
Women deserve to be confident with the choices they make and not be put down because they made a decision they felt was right,” wrote petition creator Hilary Murphy. ”Abortion is a human right in Canada. Whether you are pro-life, pro-choice, or pro-abortion, it is a right and is a medical procedure that is available for all women. “
My personal experience, also as a woman, is that when I truly feel I’ve made the right decision, there ain’t any putting me down, or breaking my confidence. But if I wasn’t truly sure, then it takes very little for me to feel bad about it.
(This is from January, but I still liked the ad. Simple truth.)
Two and a Half Men–I always hated that show for all it represents. Nice to hear that one of the actors on the show felt the same way and now talks openly about it. He challenges folks to stop watching the show, because it “makes light of things that real people struggle with.” Absolutely.
