New Stanek WND column, "Pro-life Obamanation?"

The terms "pro-life" and "Obamanation" would seem incompatible.
But there may be an emerging phenomenon. While President Obama continues to enjoy popular support, his anti-life agenda is enjoying less popularity the more he tries to advance it.
The first sign was public reaction to Obama's overturning of the Mexico City policy, which reinstated taxpayer funding to international abortion groups. This garnered Obama a 65% disapproval rating, according to Gallup, making it the least popular of his first 7 decisions as president.
Then in late February, Obama....
Obama pressed on with his anti-life agenda, signing an executive order in March authorizing taxpayer funding of human embryo experimentation.... A March Pew poll showed support had "fallen below the 50% level for the first time since 2004 and constituted a slight decline in support since 2007," wrote the New York Times.
In April Politico.com reported a surge in pro-life activism....
Then an April 30 Pew poll showed the biggest drop in abortion support in 15 years.... This was consistent with a CNN poll conducted April 23-26....
Obama may be winning abortion battles, but a casualty is loss of public support in the abortion war.
Translation: Obama is making abortion unpopular.
If this keeps up, an interesting oxymoron may be....

English Teenage Girls Killing Their Children In Record Numbers
By peter on May 11, 2009 1:58 AM No Comments

If only America recognized we don't have to try out the liberal policies of sex and death to get results. Other countries are already experimenting with drugs - Amsterdam, Sex education, abortion and birth control - Europe and Socialism - Europe.
England is going through a major experiment with their teenagers right now. From Mail Online:
"The teenage pregnancy strategy, which has cost taxpayers more than £300million, was meant to halve the number of conceptions among girls under 18 in England between 1998 and 2010."
So England spent $452 million dollars to cut the teenage pregnancy rate? What were their methods?
"Ministers have tried to slash teenage pregnancies by freely handing out contraceptives and expanding sex education."
Wow, that sounds like a good plan. Oh yeah, we're doing that here in America, I forgot. There's some benevolent group called Planned Parenthood already doing that. Did I say benevolent? I meant to say profiteering group who is soaking Americans for over $350 million tax dollars every year for sex education, they make another $350 million by killing babies through prenatal murder, euphemistically called "abortion", and another $350 million dollars are donated to them by America hating groups and people, some guy named George comes to mind.
Whoops, sorry, my wife tells me I'm a lot like a squirrel, flitting to one branch after another. Where was I? Oh yeah, the great British experiment on sex and death.
"But the fall in pregnancy rates has not met Government targets, and in 2007 the rate actually rose."
Really? You mean if you encourage sex, hand out condoms and birth control like candy, more teenage girls will have sex resulting in higher pregnancy rates? What a surprise!!! The people doing this study must have college degrees. Ahm jest a dum 'ol hick & cudn't figure that 1 out if I tried.
So America, why do you think we will have different results? We've been doing the same thing, yet teenage pregnancies are the highest in the industrialized world. How can that be? We've been handing out condoms, birth control and abortion since I was a kid. When will this "experiment" end in America?
I wonder if reading the box would make a difference? Let's see, I think I'll check Planned Parenthood's web site for information on the effectiveness of condoms and birth control....dum de dum. Well what do you know, Planned Parenthood has their own brand of condoms, what a surprise. And in 2005 those condoms got the lowest rating by Consumer Reports.
I'm shocked!
Really, I'm totally amazed that their condoms perform so poorly, after all, when they fail, it looks bad on them and then our underage daughters are directed by the schools to go have an abortion. What? You say Planned Parenthood makes $350 million dollars a year on abortions? That's amazing!
What a scam. I'm going to try that one in a different way. I'm going to sell schools an ink pen that leaks. Then, when the students' clothes get covered in ink, they can come to my dry cleaner stores which I will have next to every high school. Smart thinking huh?
Yep, those Planned Parenthood folks sure are smart cookies. Oh wait, what's this? From Planned Parenthood South Central new York:
"Abstinence
How it works: Choosing not to have any sex play with a partner.
Effectiveness: 100% (if used correctly)"
If used correctly? How do you use abstinence incorrectly? I feel my knuckles starting to drag. I must be one of those "right-wing nut-jobs" who doesn't believe in eevolootion you read so much about.
Let's look at some of their other stats:
Male condom 85 - 98%, Female condom 79 - 95%
Diaphragm: 84 - 94%; Cap: 71 - 86%, Shield: 85%
Spermicide: 71 - 82%
Hmm, let me contemplate this one now. by "effectiveness" they are of course referring to a statement that might read something like "resulting in a pregnancy". After all, if the condom wasn't "effective", it doesn't just mean that the girl says "aww shucks, it didn't work". It means a baby in the belly.
So, think about those stats, and imagine them in a different way. Let's say I give you a gun.
Oh no!!! He said "gun"! Call the PC police!
Now imagine I give you a bullet to put in that gun, and then I say, "spin the chamber, put it up to your head and pull the trigger". You would say "yeah right fruitcake, don't think so! Yet we're okay with Planned Parenthood giving our children "birth control" which is guaranteed to fail 3 out of 10 times" No, let me rephrase that, "guaranteed to result in the pregnancy of our daughters 3 out of 10 times?"
Remember, these are the same people who say:
"Abstinence
How it works: Choosing not to have any sex play with a partner.
Effectiveness: 100% (if used correctly)"
Now that's like saying if I give you a gun but don't give you any bullets, you will still manage to blow your head off.
Back to the article on England. They say:
"Teenage pregnancy rates are now higher than they were in 1995. Pregnancies among girls under 16 - below the age of consent - are also at the highest level since 1998."
It took them 14 years to realize the huge mistake they have made. Countless young girls used for what I would call their 'great sex experiment', or as critics of the program over there call it the "Teenage Abortion Strategy".
What's going to be their strategy now?
"They have called for a redoubling of efforts to persuade young girls to use contraception."
They are saying to the parents of England "you people shut up about abstinence already, we're going to experiment on your daughters for another 14 years. We'll let you know how it turns out."
The nut job Ann Furedi, of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service stated:
"The fact that teenagers felt able to end their pregnancy in abortion is actually a positive sign."
She probably said that with a straight face, with other nut jobs applauding. I apologize to all the nuts out there. I really do like peanuts, so it's an insult to compare them to psychotic people like these pro-aborts.
It gets better...well, worse:
"A Department of Health spokesman said: 'One of the key aims of this Government, as set out in the Sexual Health and Teenage Pregnancy Strategies, is to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and consequently abortions, through better access to contraception."
What was that about Abstinence again?
Oh yeah:
How it works: Choosing not to have any sex play with a partner.
Effectiveness: 100% (if used correctly)"
I wonder if they have a manual for that?

week five of development


Find this and more information at pregnancy.org


• First heartbeats begin - If you have an early ultrasound you may not be able to recognize this tiny being as a baby, but there is no mistaking what it feels like seeing your child's heartbeat on that screen. That rhythmic beat is echoed in your own heart.
• Umbilical cord develops - This is your baby's lifeline in utero. It bears the responsibility of pumping in oxygen, removing waste, and supplying the necessary nutrients for the remainder of your pregnancy.
• Blood is now pumping - All four heart chambers are now functioning, insuring your baby's body will receive all it needs over not only the remainder of your pregnancy but throughout life.
• Most other organs begin to develop - Your infant's lungs start to appear, along with her brain. Already your little one is preparing for a quest for lifelong learning!
• Arm and leg buds appear - While they may not appear to be much at this stage it is ok to dream of the future. Just imagine your ballerina twirling and jumping around your kitchen floor. Or perhaps you will have the precocious boy that throws the perfect pitch -- right through the neighbor's window.

What is happening immediately after conception?

Read more about the developing fetus where this came from... Pregnancy.org
And a great, short video of conception to birth can be found here.
Weeks one through four :

• Ovulation occurs - The time is right; now you just need this egg to be fertilized!
• Conception occurs - Did you know that during your pregnancy that your uterus will increase its capacity by 1000 times?!
• Gender is determined - Immediately upon fertilization your little one is set as a boy or a girl. Ladies, this is one that you can't take credit for since it is up to the sperm to determine the sex of your baby. Sperm carries either a "X" (girl) chromosome or a "Y" (boy) chromosome. (*Hint:* You will have to hold off on picking out the pink or blue until at least the second trimester when the gender will be visible via ultrasound.)
• Implantation - Some spotting (also known as implantation bleeding) may occur about 10 - 14 days after conception. You may believe you are starting your period but generally this bleeding is extremely light and lasts only a day or so.
• Neural tube forms - It will develop into the nervous system (Brain, spinal cord, hair, and skin). Already your baby has the foundation for thought, senses, feeling, and more!
• Heart and primitive circulatory system rapidly form - While still in its beginning stages, this is the very life support system that will carry your child throughout his or her life.

Hope for the hopeless

Today is Monday. Like any other Monday, chores, bills, errands, and a game of catch-up are on my to do list.

Chores: laundry, dishes, picking up around the house. These are all important, but my girls are playing by themselves because I don't have time for them.

Bills: very important and necessary as a good steward of my money I should pay all who I owe, but there are hungry or hurting people that I forgot about on my mission to complete my to do list.

Errands: also necessary, the book I needed from the library is in high demand and would be gone if I didn't pick it up today, but there were people affected by the storms that could have used my help today.

Catch-up: always a game I play, though I never find it enjoyable. Where could I volunteer my time? After all, those dust bunnies will still be there tomorrow.

Let us not forget to stop, breathe, and pray today. What does God have on our to do list for us?

Miscarriage hope

I found this on Jill Stanek's site.


Miscarriage from a Christian perspective
by Bethany Kerr
Jill received an email recently from a woman who has written a book to encourage and support mothers grieving after miscarriage. If you have gone through a loss, this may be for you.
From the email...
"I wanted to share my personal story with you and hope that you will help me in sharing it with others.
This year (2009) didn't start out to be good for our family. On February 6th, I suffered my second miscarriage in less than two years and lost a baby girl at almost 3 months from an extra x chromosome problem 47,xx, +15 resulting in trisomy and not capable of fetal survival. After going through the darkest hours of my life for several weeks, I prayed for God to heal my heart again.
Then the strangest thing happened. I got the "calling" at 1:30 in the morning and knew that God was talking to me. I started writing privately for myself and, at the same time, felt a need to reach out to others. I wasn't sure how that could be possible considering my life was turned upside down.
This book will help parents who have lost children through miscarriage, those who have died after birth, infertility and supporting family members including the heroic husbands that see their wives through this. It talks about our story, loss, recovery, hope and healing. I wanted to "pay it forward" to help others in positive memory of the two babies we lost. It is like a hug from a stranger who cares and understands their pain and sorrow. There are limited resources available and I would like to make a difference in this area for families.
It is my (long-term) goal to donate as many free copies as possible to miscarriage support organizations, pregnancy care centers, hospitals and other places that I am researching. When new parents leave most hospitals, they are sent home with new infant care bags. Often, with the loss of a child, the families leave empty handed with nothing, as I did on both occasions. With giving them a small gesture such as a book, they have support from someone who has walked in their shoes.
The front cover has some wooden ABC blocks pictured and the title "Surviving Miscarriage From A Christian Perspective." The back cover is more symbolic than I ever imagined. They say that different things can symbolize babies who have passed such as butterflies, dragonflies, snowflakes and rosebuds that haven't opened. I found a design that had two butterflies stacked on top of one another. It was exactly what I was looking for.
Miscarriage From A Christian Perspective can be previewed/purchased at www.lulu.com. Please type in Lisa Lindley or the title. In a few weeks this will also be available at online retail outlets such as Amazon.com and a few others. My ISBN# 978-0-578-01853-9
Surviving Miscarriage From A Christian Perspective is a heartfelt account of one mother's experience coping with miscarriage, loss, recovery and spiritual awakening. This book was written to comfort those in need and to offer hope, strength and healing through a Christian viewpoint.
"Faith in God is what helped me to survive this experience. I hope that my story will touch your life or someone that you love and give them healing."
- Lisa Lindley
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. - Matthew 5:4
Thank you!
