• Pro-Life in TN informs readers that the directors of Nashville’s Rocketown Youth Center decided they would not host the Planned Parenthood-trained PG13 Players Peer Educators event scheduled for this past Monday:

  PP hoped to use the event to infer credibility and acceptance in a Christian venue. This backfired when word got out and reaction was swift. Just as PP was rightfully kicked out of our state budget in 2011 (and other states) they were kicked out of Rocketown.

• Americans United for Life points out media bias in the major networks’ lack of (or very sparse) coverage of Planned Parenthood’s scandals and congressional investigation.

• Bryan Kemper reports on a college student’s resignation from Girl Scouts of America (pictured left) after she was told to turn her pro-life t-shirt inside out at work while off-duty.
• Speak Up discusses the many ways rapper Jay-Z’s new song about his newborn daughter, Blue Ivy, with wife Beyonce, speaks to how he viewed the personhood of his daughter from conception onward.
• Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life is happy to see Dear Abby dispensing pro-life advice regarding a couple with “extra” embryos after IVF. She recommends embryo adoption.
• Scott Klusendorf reveals his predictions (many of them dealing with the pro-life movement) for 2012.
• Family Research Council explains the Youth Misery Index and why President Obama’s approval rating has dropped by 30% among Generation Y.
• Operation Rescue has details and audio of a 911 call for a botched abortion that happened two months ago at a Virginia Beach Planned Parenthood:

Thirteen months ago I reported on pro-life activist Randall Terry’s dream to run for U.S. president strictly so as to air graphic abortion ads during Super Bowl XLVI on February 5, 2012.

And by golly if Terry isn’t going to do it.

Terry is in the process of buying ad time in 35 NBC metropolitan media markets and is working on more (having secured two to date). These are:

For quite some time elements of the Left have been mocking that which they think the Right holds sacred, from burning the American flag to sticking a crucifix of Jesus in urine.

Lately the The Crass Ones have landed on abortion, laughing about aborted fetus cookies and abortion Christmas ornaments while tweeting  #abortionclinicplaylistsongs.

Worse, they try to personally hurt people in the worst way possible by going after their children, such as mocking Sarah Palin for not aborting her son Trig and also mocking Rick Santorum for allowing his surviving children to grieve their deceased baby brother Gabriel.

So last week comedian Stephen Colbert thought he would one-up Sarah Silverman’s abortion humor – on steroids – by making fun of partial-birth abortion, a heinous late-term abortion procedure Rick Santorum worked hard to ban when he was U.S. senator…
 

 
Congrats, Mr. Colbert, for shocking me, harder and harder to do these days.

American Life League’s STOPP International released a significant report today listing the salaries of Planned Parenthood CEOs.

Occupy Wall Street protesters may want to move their tents over to 434 W. 33rd Street in New York City, where Planned Parenthood Federation of America headquarters are located, and where the top eight officers of this supposed nonprofit made over $2 million altogether in 2010, none less that $245,000:

Here’s a video from 2008 showing Mitt Romney flip-flopping on abortion.  According to American RTL Action:

Mitt is pro-life or pro-choice based on where he is campaigning. “Every piece of legislation that has come across my desk I’ve come down on the side of life.”  Except for Romney Health Care that pays for abortion, promotes chemical abortions with Plan B, gives Planned Parenthood a seat on the Massachusetts health advisory board, and attempts to force pro-life hospitals to dispense abortifacients.

In its January 9 e-newsletter the Issues4LifeFoundation entered the wayback machine and took us to 1971, when Rev. Jesse Jackson recited the powerful poem, “I Am Somebody” on the children’s television show, Sesame Street.

“I Am Somebody,” which Jackson elsewhere called the Black National Anthem, was written in the 1950s by Rev. William Borders, Sr.

It is particularly poignant that in 1971 Jackson was adamantly pro-life, and here he was on Sesame Street teaching little children that they may be small, and their faces and hair my be different, but they were still to be “respected, protected, never rejected.”

Here is Jackson in 1972 reciting the poem at Wattstax, again poignant in that he reminded blacks that although they might be “poor” and “unskilled,” they were still “beautiful” and “must be respected and protected.” Watch clip beginning at 1:41…

 American Life League’s STOPP International has published an analysis of Planned Parenthood’s 2009-2010 Annual Report, and it does not bode well for the abortion giant.

But it’s a political delusion to think Rick Santorum is a standard-bearer of authentic Catholic values in politics. In fact, on several issues central to Catholic social teaching – torture, war, immigration, climate change, the widening gap between rich and poor and workers’ rights – Santorum is radically out of step with his faith’s teachings as articulated by Catholic bishops and several popes over the centuries.

~ John Gehring, Catholic Outreach Coordinator for Faith In Public Life, a “progressive faith” publication, attempting to make a Catholic case against Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum (pictured with family above), January 4

Here were my top five favorite cartoons this week, beginning with one by abortion proponent Steve Benson at GoComics.com, who I’d say is actually the one obsessing about that which he accuses Rick Santorum…
