Our president just finished his State of the Union address. I watched it live on YouTube. (The live link is gone, but archive links abound.) Many statements were laudable. Some represented some degree of obfuscation and thus were irritating. Sometimes I agreed, while at other times I disagreed strongly. However, one phrase in particular both “stuck out” and especially irritated me. There was nothing terribly wrong with the statement itself. What was wrong was the conflict between the statement and the extreme pro-abortion attitude of the man who issued the statement. He indicated that the best thing we can do for our children is to invest in early education (referring to pre-K schooling). Mr. Barrack …
Family Research Council released a report this week that gave valuable insight to those who want to understand the women in our culture who are most vulnerable to abortion industry pressures and what risk factors affect them. This valuable research about the demographics of women who have had abortions reinforces what common sense would suggest – the more sexual partners a woman has, and the earlier she becomes sexually active, the more likely she is to have one or more abortions in her lifetime.

The World Health Organization classified birth control pills with estrogen and progestin as a “Group One” carcinogen. “That’s the highest level that a cancer-causing drug can be listed as,” says Karen Malec of the Coalition on Abortion Breast Cancer. And Plan B, known as the morning-after pill, is nothing short of an extremely high dose of contraceptive. “It’s highly carcinogenic,” Malec advises. “It’s listed on the same page with mustard gas and benzene, cadmium, etc. Asbestos and tobacco are also listed.” Malec has filed a brief with the Supreme Court informing the justices of these stats. “They already have 300,000 cases of breast cancer expected this year so this is only going to further increase it,” …
