Abortion/Pro-Life

Did the Democrat `Savior,` Wendy Davis, Perjure Herself?

Published by Papa Giorgio

Breitbart has this on the perjury issue facing Wendy Davis:

As the scandal grows involving Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis’ false statements, a new angle is receiving increasing attention. The Democratic candidate for Texas governor made several false statements under oath in federal court. Do they actually rise to the level of perjury, which is a federal felony? Will the Obama-Holder Justice Department investigate this darling of abortion-rights supporters and the Democratic Party base?

In the past 24 hours, Breitbart News has reported that in an interview with Davis, the Dallas Morning News–which seems sympathetic and even supportive of Davis–noted that several of her statements have proven to be untrue. Our follow-up report showed at least one of these was actually given in sworn testimony in federal court.

The court transcript records that “I got divorced by the time I was 19 years old,” (p. 6) and also that “I had a full scholarship that was in part need based,” (p. 9). The second statement is at least half-false, and the first statement is undeniably false. Both statements were given under oath, raising the question whether Davis committed perjury in federal court, which is a felony.

Abortion Survivor Pens Letter to Her Unborn Child

Published by Papa Giorgio

Via the Blaze:

Now pregnant with her second child, Ohden recently penned a letter to her own unborn baby, speaking of the joys present in the world, while also warning the child that “the culture of death is all around us.”

“You are 62 days old in the womb today, so we don’t know a whole lot yet about you. But what we do know is this. You are ours and you are loved,” Ohden told the child. “Without yet even seeing you, I feel your presence each day, and I look forward to your presence being made more aware to the world through a soon-to-be burgeoning belly and through movements that make your sister and father squeal with joy.”

She went on to express how excited the family is for the coming birth — and shared how the unborn baby’s sister, Olivia, is anxiously awaiting the happiness she will experience from meeting and interacting with her younger brother and sister.

The letter, though, also struck a more serious tone, with Ohden letting her daughter know that the world is a mixed bag of both joy and pain.

Divided We Stand

The Supreme Court case is Little Sister of the Poor v. Sebelius, 13A691. The other cases are Priests for Life v. U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, 13-05368, and Roman Catholic Archbishop of Washington v. Sebelius, 13-05371, U.S. Court of Appeals for District of Columbia (Washington).

I posted about the Little Sisters a while ago, and we will be entering into a new faze of this issue soon:

The Obama administration was temporarily blocked by a U.S. Supreme Court justice from forcing an order of Catholic nuns to comply with a federal requirement to provide free contraceptive coverage for employees.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s two-sentence order will last at least until Jan. 3, the deadline she gave the administration to respond to a bid by the Denver and Baltimore chapters of the Little Sisters of the Poor for an exemption to the mandate. The Supreme Court released the order last night, a half hour before the mandate took effect.

The request by the nuns was one of four lodged with the court yesterday by groups claiming the administration isn’t doing enough to accommodate religious objections to the contraceptive rule. The requirement stems from the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act….

[….]

Tatel was appointed by President Bill Clinton, a Democrat, while the other judges on the panel that granted yesterday’s order, Karen Henderson and Janice Rogers Brown, were nominated, respectively, by George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, both Republicans. Jackson was named to the bench by Obama, a Democrat….

Meet the Sisters

Via Gateway Pundit:

The Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic religious group for women who have dedicated their lives to the service of the elderly, is concerned that after more than a century of service the Obama Administration will force them out of the United States. The order was previously banned in China and Myanmar. The Obama Admininistration may force them out of the United States.

The religious order claims the so-called contraception mandate in ObamaCare will make it impossible for them to continue their work in the United States.

Does Sotomoyer see the dangers in this? Gateway Pundit Updates:

Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor blocked the Obama administration from forcing the Little Sisters of the Poor to provide free contraceptive coverage to employees. The Little Sisters of the Poor serve the elderly poor in over 30 countries around the world.

Peaceful, Tolerant, Feminists at Work Spreading Understanding-To the Groin (Argentina)

Innocent?

The police indicated they would not help the pro-life Catholics in front of the church because the protestors were women. I guess women cannot be violent or commit crimes?

Via HotAir:

This gives a new meaning to the phrase “crotch shots,” but it’s not a pleasant change, as you’ll see in this video from Argentina.  Last week, pro-abortion activists marched on the cathedral in San Juan de Cuyo as Catholics surrounded the building in prayer to protect it from violence.  The protesters took out their rage on the faithful, spray-painting their faces and, er, aiming lower in some cases.

76-Pages of Violations in this Unlicensed Abortion Facility

Published by Papa Giorgio

This comes via American Church and Family and from OneNewsNow:

I had to re-read this to make sure I was seeing it correctly:

An Alabama judge has issued an order shutting down a Birmingham abortion clinic where its owner operated without a license.

30 or Less

…a license is not needed if 30 or less abortions are performed per month…. “When these departments of public health just allow these individuals to continue performing abortions unregulated without inspections, without accountability,” says Aranda, “you have individuals who are harming women, that are killing babies that are born alive and it’s an absolute atrocity.”

The New Woman All Women Abortion Clinic won notoriety after three botched abortions in one day. Added to that, state inspectors found 76 pages of violations, revoked the license and closed it down.

Owner Diane Derzis and abortionist Bruce Norman reopened it under a state provision that stipulates a license is not needed if 30 or less abortions are performed per month, but Circuit Court Judge Joseph Boohaker has ordered the facility closed.

Attorney Allison Aranda with Life Legal Defense Foundation says the courts have ruled against the abortionists.

“In this case, if they continue to do what they’re doing now in performing abortions at this facility, that is going to be in defiance of a court order,” says Aranda. “And rest assured it’s much easier to have them brought back into court and have them sanctioned, whether that’s criminally or just monetarily.”

Derzis also owns an abortion clinic in Jackson, Mississippi, where Norman was also the abortionist on duty when an abortion patient was sent by ambulance to a hospital this past Wednesday,

“When these departments of public health just allow these individuals to continue performing abortions unregulated without inspections, without accountability,” says Aranda, “you have individuals who are harming women, that are killing babies that are born alive and it’s an absolute atrocity.”

PARODY ALERT:

Via The Blaze, and as usual, the liberal press (above) only gives you half the story in order to stir up emotions:

You’ll remember that at the Texas capitol earlier this month police confiscated many items from female protestors, which reportedly included “bricks, tampons, pads and condoms protestors planned to throw at pro-life lawmakers…before a final vote on legislation banning abortions past five months,” Townhall reported.

KETK had even more details, including reports of jars of feces and urine being confiscated from demonstrators:

During these inspections, DPS officers have thus far discovered one jar suspected to contain urine, 18 jars suspected to contain feces, and three bottles suspected to contain paint. All of these items – as well as significant quantities of feminine hygiene products, glitter and confetti possessed by individuals – were required to be discarded; otherwise those individuals were denied entry into the gallery.

What Age Is Appropriate for Plan-B?

Published by Papa Giorgio

The Obama Administration has recently decided not to challenge a judge’s ruling that girls of any age can buy the morning after pill (also known as Plan B) over the counter and without parental consent. MRCTV’s Dan Joseph went to the National Mall to ask Americans the minimum age they think it is appropriate for girls to have easy access to this form of birth control.
