'Above My Pay Grade'

Bret McAtee / The Backwater Report
Recently, in an interview with CEO Rick “Saddle sore” Warren, B. Hussein Obama responded to a question asking, ‘when life begins,’ by saying,

    “whether you’re looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, answering that question with specificity … is above my pay grade.”

First notice that Obama is a typical American in as much as he has compartmentalized truth. The idea that one can answer the question to life from either a Theological lens or a scientific lens indicates that he believes, in a Thomistic fashion, that there are two paths to truth.

Pro-Life Billboard Vandalized with 'Joker' Face Paint and Slogan

FREEPORT, Illinois -- A billboard showing a baby's face and the words "Abortion: The Ultimate Child Abuse" was vandalized in the style of Batman: The Dark Knight villain the Joker. The baby was made up to look like the arch-villain from the recent Batman film, with black spray paint circling the eyes and red duct tape stretched across the mouth in imitation of Joker's signature grotesque smile. Under the pro-life message was spray painted the Joker's famous line from the new movie: "why so serious?"

Judie Brown On HHS Conscience Proposal

While Brown was pleased the proposed regulation would enforce conscience laws, she also said the wording was disappointing. Previous drafts of the regulation recognized and defined abortion to include hormonal contraceptives. "This is a bittersweet moment for preborn children," Brown said. "While we recognize the proposal as a sign that the federal government wants to stop the type of discriminatory action recommended by the American Medical Association earlier this year, it is clear that the Department of Health and Human Services will continue to pander to the proponents of chemical abortion."

US Report: Over 900,000 Doses RU-486 Have Been Prescribed

WASHINGTON, DC -- The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has concluded that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) followed all the correct procedures when it approved the abortion drug RU-486, sold in the US as Mifeprex, in September 2000. Since then, the report notes, the drug has been prescribed at least 900,000 times. The report says that the FDA has also not erred in its subsequent handling of the abortion drug, despite the deaths of several women who used it. The GAO is not an independent non-government body, but is known as "the investigative arm of Congress" and "the congressional watchdog."

WASHINGTON -- Representatives of post-abortion and pregnancy center organizations have denounced a report that asserts there is no trustworthy evidence that a lone abortion causes mental health problems in a woman. "It's a classic case of the abortion lobby's political and financial interests trumping the truth," said Janet Morana, a co-founder of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, in a written release. The group describes itself as the world's largest network of women and men hurt by abortion.

Loophole Allows $5000 Baby Bonus For Late Abortions

IT was intended to boost the birth rate, but a legal loophole means the $5000 baby bonus can be claimed for late-term abortions. The loophole arises because abortions after 20 weeks' gestation are recorded by doctors as stillbirths. Parents of stillborn babies receive the maternity benefit on compassionate grounds.

60 Children Killed In U.S. Air Raid

There is convincing evidence that 60 children and 30 adults were killed in a US air strike in western Afghanistan last Friday, the United Nations says. The US originally said its planes had killed 30 militants in the attack in the province of Herat. President Karzai sacked two senior Afghan army officers over the incident. The US says Afghan forces led the operation in the district of Shindand. The incident has worsened relations between Mr Karzai and foreign forces. On Monday the government said it wanted to renegotiate the terms under which US-led forces and NATO-led forces operate in Afghanistan. If confirmed, the Shindand incident is one of the worst cases of foreign forces killing Afghan civilians.

Denver Police Arrest 31 Protesters at Convention

DENVER, Colorado -- Denver police arrested 31 protesters outside the Democratic presidential nominating convention on Tuesday, including 13 anti-abortion demonstrators. Eighteen people including out-of-state residents were arrested by the Denver police, bringing to 135 the total number of arrests since Saturday, before the convention opened, police said in an e-mailed statement. Most were charged with interfering with police authority, loitering or trespassing. On Monday, police used pepper spray to quell a confrontation with police. In that incident, 100 people were arrested. The 13 anti-abortion protestors, who were not apparently counted among the 135, conducted a sit-down strike outside a security gate of the Pepsi Centre after they were refused admission to the highly secured Democratic presidential nominating convention. Randall Terry, national director of the Washington-based Operation Rescue, was among those arrested.

Doctor 'Failed To Get Legal Consent For Late-Term Abortion'

A Melbourne doctor has been accused of unprofessional conduct after he performed a late-term abortion on an intellectually disabled woman who was raped by her father. Dr Mark Schulberg, a controversial late-term abortion specialist, fronted the Medical Practitioners Board over allegations he performed the termination at 26 weeks without gaining legal consent. It is alleged he also failed to contact police about the woman's pregnancy when he should have known she was incapable of consenting to sexual intercourse. Under Victorian law, the guardian of a woman with an intellectual disability cannot give consent on her behalf for an abortion. Instead, they must apply to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for permission.

Empty Cribs

By Darrell Dow / The Backwater Report
    "American women are waiting longer to have children, and more than ever are choosing not to have children at all, according to a report by the U.S. Census Bureau. Twenty percent of American women from the ages of 40 to 44 have no children, double the level of 30 years ago, the report says, and women in that age bracket who do have children have fewer than ever - an average of 1.9, compared with the median of 3.1 in 1976."

The only group bucking the trend: Hispanic women, who average 2.3 children. Hence the demographic transformation of the country continues apace.

"The alien who lives among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower... You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the LORD your God" (Deuteronomy 28:43, 62).

"This little baby human girl was allowed to live," she said to the cheering crowd. King later aborted two of her children.

Washington Times: Planned Parenthood Targets Blacks

The Washington Times - Editorial
Planned Parenthood, a self-styled "health care provider" and "informed educator" on women's sexual health, has been promoting abortion since its inception in 1916. This has had a devastating affect on America. Since the 1973 Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, which overturned most state and federal laws outlawing or restricting abortion, an estimated 48,6 million babies have been aborted, according to the National Right to Life Committee. In particular, blacks are disproportionately impacted by abortion. Is Planned Parenthood deliberately acting to reduce the black population? Is it practicing a form of eugenics?

But Monday's research used specialized molecular testing to uncover microbes that ordinary methods miss, and thus uncovered more women with simmering infections than previously estimated.

The device proved so useful that the DNC has relied on it since, with the Republican National Committee (RNC) quickly following suit. And heck, we haven’t even gotten an Olympics out of it.

41 Million In U.S. Have Contaminated Drinking Water

An investigation by the Associated Press has revealed that the drinking water of at least 41 million people in the United States is contaminated with pharmaceutical drugs. It has long been known that drugs are not wholly absorbed or broken down by the human body. Significant amounts of any medication taken eventually pass out of the body, primarily through the urine. "People think that if they take a medication, their body absorbs it and it disappears, but of course that's not the case," EPA scientist Christian Daughton said.

Acne Drug 'May Lead To More Abortions'

More babies will be aborted if the controversial acne drug Roaccutane is made available through the family doctor, specialists warn. Dermatologists says a move by health authorities to allow GPs to prescribe the heavy-duty medication will push up prescription rates and endanger patients. And there was a risk that patients would not be informed of the dangers of birth abnormalities among babies born to women taking Roaccutane, forcing them to require an abortion, said Dr Stephen Shumack, secretary of the Australasian College of Dermatologists.

John McCain's Real Abortion Record

By Chuck Baldwin / The Covenant News
Once again, "pro-life" Christians are doing back flips to try and justify their compromise of the life issue by trying to convince everyone (including themselves) that John McCain is truly pro-life. However, these same people know in their hearts that John McCain shares no fidelity to the life issue in any significant or meaningful way. Like many in the Republican Party, McCain's commitment to life is about as deep as a mud puddle.

Abortion Supporters Lieberman, Giuliani to Speak at Republican Convention

Republican Party officials announced Wednesday that abortion-rights supporters Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) will be given featured speaking slots at next month's Republican National Convention, the Washington Post reports. According to the Post, the decision to include Lieberman and Giuliani in the convention lineup furthered concerns among some social conservatives that Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain (Ariz.) would consider adding an abortion-rights supporter to the ticket.

Abortion Not Key Issue, GOP Poll Says

WASHINGTON -- Nearly 70 percent of Republican voters don't see abortion as a key issue in selecting a vice presidential nominee, a GOP abortion rights poll indicates. Such a conclusion could benefit the chances of a pro-abortion rights running mate for Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the apparent Republican Party presidential nominee, The Hill, a Washington publication, said. McCain is widely believed to be considering Sen. Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., or former U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, both pro-abortion rights, as his running mate. The poll by Republican Majority for Choice, a pro-abortion rights advocacy group, urged party members to be open-minded about a possible change in GOP abortion policy and to listen to divergent views, The Hill said.

Joe Biden: A Stinkin' Pro-Abort Catholic!

By Michael Paulson
Barack Obama's chosen runningmate, U.S. Sen. Joe Biden, is a Roman Catholic who would become, if elected, the first Catholic vice-president of the U.S. Like many Catholic elected officials in the U.S., he runs afoul of church teachings on abortion rights, but cites church teachings on a variety of social justice concerns. (Editor's note: Biden's selection is likely to rekindle the hypocrisy over whether "Catholic politicians" who support abortion should not receive Communion, rather than why all Catholics, employed by the pro-abort federal government, should not receive Communion.)

Given Over To A Reprobate Mind: Obama ADoration

His face fills the screen as the man looks earnestly into the camera and speaks directly to the viewer. "As a pastor, I know you can learn a lot about a man's character by the way he treats his family," he says. It's prominent evangelical leader Brian McLaren, and so begins the new TV ad for Sen. Barack Obama, which ran last weekend during Pastor Rick Warren's presidential forum at Saddleback Church in California. The ad on "standing up for families" doesn't come from the Obama campaign, but from an independent political action committee (PAC) that has recently joined the battle for the Christian vote.

Pro-Life Action League's Libel Case Against Planned Parenthood

GENEVA, IL. -- The state's Citizens Participation Act either protects those with legitimate interests in how government works or it's opening a door to full-scale attacks, including false ones, on public officials involved in the process. Those differing perspectives were made clear Friday afternoon during a lengthy hearing in a libel suit filed by the Pro-Life Action League against Planned Parenthood and its president, Steve Trombley, concerning the 2007 debate over the controversial clinic on Aurora's far East Side. The pro-life organization claims Planned Parenthood libeled and defamed its membership -- in a letter to Aurora aldermen and in an ad which ran in The Beacon News -- by associating them with felons and those who commit violent acts at abortion clinics. Planned Parenthood seeks to have the case dismissed because of the Citizens Participation Act's protections granted to those petitioning government.

Planned Parenthood Wants Citizen Protection From Libel Suit
Planned Parenthood sought immunity from a Kane County defamation lawsuit Friday under a law that protects citizens who speak out about government issues. Attorneys for the organization say the Citizen Participation Act shields Planned Parenthood from the accusations of libel and defamation made by Chicago's Pro-Life Action League in the wake of a bitter fight to open an Aurora clinic where abortions are performed. The league sued Planned Parenthood in October after Aurora's mayor and city council received letters painting the abortion opponents as violent, which the Pro-Life Action League flatly denies, and after an ad with similar claims appeared in a local newspaper. The clinic has since opened.

The Rise In Lady Killers

Since time immemorial women have been seen as nurturers and life givers. When it comes to violence, they have predominantly been victims, not perpetrators. But this is changing. When four men stormed Vernon and Anastacia Norton's Lansdowne home in June 2005, stabbing dead their six-month-old granddaughter, it appeared to be a botched house robbery. But as the months unfolded, beautiful Dina Rodrigues, 25, was found to be the mastermind behind the killing of Baby Jordan, after contracting four men to do the dirty work.

Nebraska Law Allows Abandonment of Teens

While lawmakers may not have intended it, the month-old law raises the possibility that frustrated parents could drop off misbehaving teens or even severely disabled older children with impunity.

Abortion 'Chop Shop' Charged With Improper Record Disposal

By Gina Damron / Free Press
SOUTHFIELD, MI -- A 12-count warrant has been issued against a Lathrup Village abortion clinic for improperly disposing of medical records, according to Southfield's 46th District Court (A suburb of Detroit). The case against WomanCare, located on Southfield Road, stems from a March incident in which patient records were discovered in a Dumpster behind the facility, court and police officials said. The clinic came under scrutiny after an anti-abortion group reportedly found body parts of fetuses, other medical waste and the records in the trash bins. An arraignment date has not yet been set. Dr. A. Alberto Hodari, who owns the clinic and who would have to appear in court, said that he was not aware of the charges. In March, Sgt. Vincent Lynch said that up to 50 patients could be identified in medical records, which were mostly created in February and included personal information and the types of procedures performed.

Proposed HHS Rule Allows Government Funded Health Care Workers to Opt-Out of Abortions


But The Rule Also Excludes Abortifacient Birth Control in "Abortion Definition"

(In other words, the rule does not protect health care workers who refuse to kill babies with abortion causing birth control)

By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Editor / yahoo! Reuters
WASHINGTON -- Health officials released a controversial regulation on Thursday to protect health professionals who do not want to provide abortions or certain other health care services. The regulation could strip federal funding from employers or institutions that fire a doctor, nurse, pharmacist or other health professional who refuses to provide abortion care or information (The proposed rule only applies to institutions receiving government tax money). But it no longer defines some types of contraception as abortion, after family planning groups complained an earlier draft would have defined abortion to include birth control pills and the intrauterine device or IUD. The Planned Parenthood Federation of America said the regulation was deliberately vague. "At least they wrote a definition of abortion," Roger Evans, director of litigation at the group, told reporters.

The Suwa Maternity Clinic in Nagano, northwest of Tokyo, refused to provide information such as the date of the birth or gender of the baby. News reports said the baby was born last year. The clinic said it performed the procedure because the woman's daughter has no uterus, but didn't give details on why she had that condition. The surrogate mother used a fertilized egg donated by her daughter.

Brian McLaren Shills for Pro-Abortion Obama

By Ingrid Schlueter / Slice Of Laodicea
In this political ad, Brian McLaren says you can learn a lot about a man by how he treats his family. As a so-called pastor, McLaren should also know that you can learn a lot about a man by how he treats babies in the womb. Obama, who virulently defends the right to kill babies in the womb, and who twice voted against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act when babies were being allowed to die on dirty laundry carts after failed abortion attempts, has blood on his hands. That doesn’t stop Brian McLaren and KirbyJon Caldwell from telling us that Obama is a man of character. The fruit of Brian McLaren’s postmodern theology is truly evident here. 50 million dead children can be overlooked as meaningless in the interest of promoting change. Everything must change, says McLaren. Everything but the relentless slaughter of America’s most precious and vulnerable citizens. And God sees it.
