Babies in Trash Cans
Posted by JM Ashby Joining us tonight in the WTF File is -again- Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) who seems to have some sort of fanatical fetish for the subject of unwanted pregnancies and Abortion.

Here was Steve King just this past week on the subject of abortion: I often go into a High School auditorium or mee...

Light of Christ Can Overcome Abortions Culture of Death
Herod was motivated by intense fear and desperation, which lead him to destroy others to preserve his position and protect his throne.   So often today fear motivates terrible decisions, adding to the culture of death in which we find ourselves.  Our culture tends to disregard hope while overemphasizing every fear to the extent that death is seen as the answer to many difficult human struggles.  Death is promoted as the answer to a difficult Pregnancy.  Death is often th...

Not yet released, Abby Johnsons book is shooting up the charts!
I received an advanced copy yesterday and have had a hard time putting it down. It’s excellent - compelling, intriguing, full of insight, and giving me a lot to think about. Here’s a description: Abby Johnson quit her job in October 2009. That simple act became a national news story because Abby was director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas who, not long after assisting in an actual Abortion procedure for the first time, cross the line to join the Coalition for Life .

Rise in abortions in China, young women targeted
XI'AN, China - The leaf-strewn median on Eternal Peace Road hides a grim secret: Numerous tiny fetuses lie in Unmarked Graves dug by women from the Abortion clinic across the street.

"This big," says anesthesiologist Liu Jianmin, using her thumb and index finger to measure out the length of a l...

Catholic Church Abortion-Shames New Yorkers, But of Course They're Missing the Point
​Abortion. Saying the word in the midst of a cocktail party will hush even the most intrepid of irreverent souls. Because even if you're pro-choice, you can't actually be pro-abortion, at least not in any public Fashion. Baby killing is always, always, always bad. Right? Which is perhaps why the much-maligned Pedophile-priest-troubled generally rather sexist and without-a-clue Catholic Church has glommed on to abortion as one of the things it can censure in New York City without fear of ...
