Abortion’s Forgotten Victim: The Aborted Baby’s Father | LifeNews.com

The articles and blog posts leading up to the 40th commemoration of the single greatest American tragedy all tell a similar story.  The thread that runs common through all the stories is the unimaginable numbers.  And the numbers drive the narrative of a nation painfully realizing that there are now fifty-five million children, who have been poisoned, dismembered, shredded and suffocated by abortionists who were given the right to do so by judicial fiat. [Read more at LifeNews.com.]

Supreme Court will look at the links between breast cancer, abortion, and birth control

Malec-KarenThe 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,” she says.

FREE Web Sites for WVFL State Chapters

Pastor Doug Joseph, Harrison County West Virginians for Life

Harrison County WVFL is pleased to announce WVFL Chapters, a website network intended to house sites for each local chapter of West Virginians for Life. The network is the brainchild of Pastor Doug Joseph, of Clarksburg, working in conjunction with Linda Oldack (Harrison County chapter president), also of Clarksburg, and Wanda Franz (WVFL statewide president), of Morgantown. Joseph recently joined the Harrison County chapter’s planning committee, and there it was mentioned that their local chapter was then without any web presence. Joseph, who has extensive experience in web development (as well as in graphic arts), had recently built such a site network for his statewide church organization (the WV District of the United Pentecostal Church International), while he was head of their district missions department (he is now presbyter, serving the section covering north-central WV and the northern panhandle). That network made it possible for the department to offer web services to their member churches. Knowing the same technology could work here, Joseph offered the idea to Oldack at the monthly planning meeting. Soon afterward, Oldack discussed the idea with Franz. Tentative plans are for Joseph to present the full details of the concept to Franz and others in Morgantown, demonstrated by showing a working model of the Harrison County site, which could then be duplicated and edited as needed to create other chapter sites.
