Fox Opts for Drag Queen Super Bowl Ad Over Abortion Survivors

While Fox Sports aired advertisements starring drag queens during Super Bowl commercial breaks, the network wouldn’t allow a 30-second commercial highlighting survivors of abortion.

The ad does not use the word “abortion” or any overt political statements. Instead, it features various individuals, all survivors of abortion, asking questions including: “can you look me in the eye and tell me that I shouldn’t be alive?”

March For Life (2019)

WAPO: At the March for Life, Trump … greeted as a pro-life hero — because he is one

History is being made on Capitol Hill this week. No, I’m not talking about the presidential impeachment trial; that’s been done before. I’m talking about President Trump’s decision to become the first U.S. president to speak in person at the March for Life.

It’s hard to overstate how important this development is. No president has ever attended the March for Life — not Ronald Reagan, not George H.W. Bush, not my old boss, George W. Bush. They all addressed the marchers remotely, via telephone or satellite link. The arrangement always seemed absurd. The marchers were on the Mall, literally in sight of the White House. Why not go out and join them? But despite the best of efforts of many inside previous administrations, none did.

The message to pro-life conservatives was clear: They were the black sheep of the Republican coalition. Their presence was tolerated because their votes were needed. But while Republican presidential candidates couldn’t win the nomination without declaring themselves pro-life, the GOP establishment not-so-secretly loathed pro-lifers. The prevailing attitude was: There they go again, making people uncomfortable by talking about abortion.

Pro-lifers took the scraps they were thrown from the GOP table because they had nowhere else to go. In today’s Democratic Party, abortion is no longer treated as a necessary evil but as something to be embraced and even celebrated. In 2018, for example, New York’s Democratic governor, Andrew Cuomo, lit up One World Trade Center — the Freedom Tower — to celebrate the passage of a new law that removes most restrictions on abortion, even in the third trimester.

Pro-life Democrats have all but disappeared on Capitol Hill, and the Democratic orthodoxy today is taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand up to the moment of birth. Dissent from that orthodoxy is not tolerated. For more than 40 years, former vice president Joe Biden supported the Hyde Amendment, which bars federal funding for abortions. He said that as a Catholic, he was personally pro-life and that “those of us who are opposed to abortion should not be compelled to pay for them.” But in 2020, that isn’t good enough. Biden, campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination, caved in to the pro-abortion radicals last June, abandoned his principles and embraced taxpayer funding.

Given their lack of other options, pro-lifers accepted their second-class-citizen status in the GOP. Then along came Trump, a man who doesn’t care what the Republican establishment thinks. He has embraced the pro-life movement in a way no other president has. In 2018, he became ….

March For Life (2015)

Hundreds of thousands protest abortion, hear Trump speak at March for Life — Donald Trump is the first U.S. president to attend the March for Life in person.

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 24, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life activists from countless backgrounds across the United States marched the streets of Washington, D.C. today for the annual March for Life, where President Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to attend and speak at the event.

Wednesday was the 47th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, which, along with its sister case Doe v. Bolton, imposed abortion on demand across the nation in 1973. At least 60 million preborn children have been slaughtered over the last 47 years. The theme of this year’s march is “Life Empowers: Pro-Life is Pro-Woman.”

Trump’s appearance was announced Wednesday evening.

“See you on Friday…Big Crowd!” he tweeted. Trump previously addressed marchers via recorded or live video message. Vice President Mike Pence spoke from the March for Life stage last year. Today, Pence is occupied meeting Pope Francis at the Vatican.

President Trump declares Jan. 22 National Sanctity of Human Life Day

In a proclamation signed on Monday, January 22, 2020, President Trump declared the day as “National Sanctity of Human Life Day.”

“Every person – the born and unborn, the poor, the downcast, the disabled, the infirm, and the elderly – has inherent value. The rights of all people must be defended.”

Following in the footsteps of past presidents, President Trump issued a declaration today affirming the dignity of human life.

January 22, 2020 is the 47th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade which legalized abortion in all 50 states around the country. Since the decision, more that 60 million preborn babies have been killed.

The court’s decision has resulted in a tragic amount of loss of life. Intriguingly, despite the popular pro-choice slogan “no uterus no opinion,” the decision was made by nine unelected, unaccountable men.

To mark the somber occasion and push forward in the fight for life, President Trump proclaimed January 22nd as “National Sanctity of Human Life Day.” Presidents Reagan, H.W. Bush, W. Bush and Trump have issued annual declarations on or around the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Presidents Clinton and Obama refused to issue the proclamations during their administrations.

President Trump’s proclamation began by affirming the dignity of human life. “Every person — the born and unborn, the poor, the downcast, the disabled, the infirm, and the elderly — has inherent value,” it began. The declaration went on to praise the recent decreases in annual abortions in the United States. It notes that the rate of abortions decreased by 24 percent between 2007 and….

Mom Regains Custody of 10-Month-Old Son Who Was Taken By CPS ‘Because She Left the Hospital Too Quickly’

Judge: “There is nothing in the record which would lead this court to believe that the mother is unwilling to provide the appropriate care for the child.”

A Minnesota mom whose 10-month-old son was taken from her by child protective services because she didn’t stick around the hospital for a second opinion on his cough finally regained custody—four months and six court dates later. The judge ruled that the nurse who claimed Amanda Weber’s actions left her child, Zayvion, in “danger of dying,” had engaged in “disinformation.”

According to Fox 9:

It all started in May when Weber brought Zayvion to Children’s Hospital for a cough. Doctors determined Zayvion was fine and stable, and after a long wait for another doctor, Weber wanted to go home and signed that she was leaving against medical advice. The next day, Zayvion was immediately taken away by CPS for medical neglect.

After Zayvion was taken, Weber began her fight to get him back. The county declared that Weber had deprived her son of necessary medical care. Weber denied this, asserting that both the social worker and a doctor on the case had acted “in bad faith and with malice.”

Last week, Judge Leonard Weiler agreed. He ruled there was zero evidence of medical neglect on the mom’s part, and that she had acted within her rights in taking Zayvion home.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw rebuts Bernie Sanders’ bogus claim that “abortion is a constitutional right”

Radically pro-abortion Sen. Bernie Sanders, while campaigning for the highest office of the nation, had the indecency to describe the senseless killing of innocent, defenseless human beings as a “constitutional right.” He tweeted that, “Abortion is a constitutional right – not a privilege for those who can afford it.”

Many Americans think “rights” are for all, while “privileges” are for some, yet “right” and “privilege” are actually synonyms. The two words have historically meant exactly the same. Thus, in our Declaration of Independence, the Founders placed a couple of crucial modifiers in front of “rights” — to denote a short list of “certain inalienable rights” so as to describe them as being set apart from normal, mere rights (i.e. privileges), because these certain ones are given by God and are “inalienable.” Thus we point out that God never gave human mothers an inalienable right to destroy their own offspring while their babies are still in the womb, the place where they ought to be most protected, not exposed to being killed. Furthermore, the Founders explicitly included the God-given right to life as the top of that short list of actual inalienable rights. One cannot have their right to life be inalienable, secured and always honored, so long as someone else is legally permitted to kill them. Bernie Sanders, being Jewish, ought to remember well that the biblical Book of Esther describes exactly such an instance, when Jewish citizens’ right to life was not secure because a law decreed that Jews could legally be killed without any consequence of punishment.

Pro-life Rep. Dan Crenshaw (follow him on Facebook / Twitter) powerfully responded to Bernie Sanders’ atrocious, bogus claim, by tweeting back that,

PS: For any who are wondering why there should be two different words, right and privilege, that mean the same, consider that “right” is from Old English, while “privilege” is a borrow word from French — one of many. We have many such dual-word instances: drink (English) and beverage (French); and fight (English) and battle (French) are just two more examples of a very common duality in our language, due to its rich history.
