“Contraception” is Murder, a weak, pathetic response to baby murder, is
sent out at least once a month. If the
gestapo hasn’t jailed you for defending the innocent realistically, you either
have to tell me you want it or go to the website. Emails are free but snail-mail is free only
for PFCs, $900 for others.
Because
I believe we should examine every legitimate means, including force, in our
attempt to protect those being tortured to death, I want to hear from people
who’ve been forceful and from those who defend them. I’d also like to hear from those who oppose
the prolife use of force and call it violence.

Here’s
the ending to Neal Horsley’s “The Pro-Life Movement is Dead” that I began last
issue:
Never confessing collaboration with murder
The
"pro-life" movement of the past twenty-five years embodied a fatal
double-mindedness, an obvious hypocrisy. On the one hand it claimed to be about
preserving life-it grumbled and moaned and even occasionally screamed that
innocent human beings were being slaughtered by the millions-yet on the other
hand it collaborated with the government that authorized such slaughter by
paying the salaries of people who were slaughtering God's children. And it
never confessed the sinfulness of such collaboration.
Picture the armed Federal Marshals escorting women into baby butcher businesses there to slaughter their children and you will see the people hired and paid for by the Pro-Life Movement. Picture it and you will see why the Pro-Life Movement died.
The Pro-Life Movement died because it became like the Vichy government in France during the Second World War: All the true soldiers turned against it and moved away from it. The specter of actually paying taxes to slaughter God's children settled the matter. All the Pro-Life Movement had left for support was sycophantic cowards like the cowardly residue of France who bowed to lick the boots-and other unmentionables-of Hitler's storm troopers as they occupied France.

Pacifism: The kiss of death
The
pro-life movement had attracted pacifistic Christians from its inception.
Finally and fatally, the movement became totally controlled by pacifists. The
non-violent civil disobedience movement spawned by the pro-life movement, a
potentially successful tactic if properly organized, was impotent to arrest the
legalized slaughter of God's children because the pacifists refused to
implement the strategy required to make a non-violent civil disobedience
movement successfully force national change.
With pacifistic Christians in charge of the pro-life movement, what inevitably happens to movements led by such people happened to the pro-life movement: it was utterly defeated and finally totally destroyed by the ruthless and violent attacks of the enemy.
Now that the Pro-Life Movement is dead, does that mean God's children will continue to be slaughtered without anyone to protect them?
Hardly. The Pro-Life Movement is dead. But arising out of its dead and rotten body, a much more effective movement has begun, one that will finally put an end to legalized abortion in the United States of America.

The Pro-Life Movement is
dead: Long live the Secession Movement
With the death of the Pro-Life Movement,
a Secession Movement has begun.
The hard things are at hand. With those
things, as always, God will supply the people called and equipped to do the
necessary hard things.
The Creator's Rights Party is the vehicle used by that movement. The Creator's Rights Party has only one founding principle - to uphold and defend the Creator's rights. With God's providence and power, and through the agency of those who pledge their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor, the Creator's Rights Party will arrest the desecration of God's plan for government in the USA.

I’ve
always thought Neal’s idea excellent. All
that is required for it, or something like it, to succeed is for more PFC’s to
lead the way.
--------------------------------------------
And here’s Neal again.
Read it and weep:
Sharon, Christians as diverse as Mike Bray, Cathy Ramey and Joel Osteen,
and myriad others in between, have lent their credibility as teachers
developing a "calling" doctrine that says unless Christians have some
kind of special calling from God, they have no duty to participate in
delivering innocent babies from an unjust death. While they all wiggle with all
the wiggle-room words can provide, that's finally what they all teach.
Such Christians are the
bedrock foundation upon which legalized abortion is erected and perpetuated in
the USA. In the face of a world that hires homicide detectives to bring justice
to those who kill people without due process, the Christians in the USA--people
whose tax dollars are used to pay those homicide detectives--refuse to admit
they have an equal duty to, if not become detectives themselves, at least hire
those who are equipped to be detectives to arrest the slaughter of unborn
babies.
There is no question
about it, every citizen in the USA pays for the homicide detectives and thereby
participates in those homicide detectives' "calling.”
But among Christians and
in regard to legalized abortion, a totally different doctrine has been created
in this generation. In this evil generation Christians have developed a
theology of "calling" that utterly exempts them from arresting the murderers
of innocent little babies.
I say God damn such
Christians...that is, until I realize I am one of them. And then I just weep.
For this nation, for the Christians and the Christians churches, for the
babies, and for the image of God we are creating with such utterly confused and
false doctrines of "calling."
Oh, I also run for Governor of Georgia looking for a platform
upon which I can stand and berate this evil generation of so-called Christians
who provide the bedrock foundation upon which legalized abortion continues. And
having successfully used that platform to lead Georgia Christians to
repentance, make Georgia a model of how a State in these so-called United
States can actually nullify evil federal "laws"...or die trying, as
every true Christian is called to do by the King of kings and the Lord of
lords.

Catherine Ramey retells a story that we
should never get tired of hearing:
The eugenics movement runs apace; it
began in the late 1800s and was increasingly popular around the globe amongst
the industrialized nations. Books like "The Great White Race" were
best-sellers in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1933, fully aware of eugenics science
and its great appeal to powerful interest groups like The Rockefeller
Foundation, as well as its proliferation as a philosophy among universities
around the world, a political activist become leader, desperate to restore
power to his own crushed nation, began working with doctors in his own country
to "take the next step"; to initiate a practical eugenics against
despised populations. At the same time that Americans were sterilizing those
deemed "unfit to reproduce" (developmentally disabled and
epileptics), he gave approval for a "T-4 program" to eliminate the
medically dependent in his own country.
No one protested with any degree of zeal. Eugenics philosophy was still deemed to be on the cutting edge of academia; America, Britain, France and other nations had popular and powerfully funded "eugenics societies" that numbered many elite political, financial and social leaders among their membership. So Adolph Hitler decided to take the next step. He was, after all, only implementing a very popular philosophy among the rich and powerful among nations. He started rounding up Jews and others he considered--along with many of the most prestigious foundations in America--to be "less than human," "diseased," "unfit" and contrary to the brave new world the eugenics movement was designing and promoting. He considered himself a forerunner of political policy that he presumed other nations would be satisfied to support and embrace, once they saw how effectively it had been exercised in Germany.
Because eugenics was so popular, it took a number of years for an outcry to induce Britain and the United States into the Second World War; Britain herself was attacked, and so too was America, though by means of the Japanese Air Force, before either nation’s professed outrage at the eugenics being practiced by the Nazis. Eugenic societies silently went underground and acquired new, less transparent names (March of Dimes, Planned Parenthood, and others) and the war raged on until 1945. In April of that year, Germany was in ruins and her forerunner-leader finally, fully realized he had been betrayed. All the other nations that applauded eugenics policy to control populations and reap wealth and greater "fitness" in the process had thrown him to the wolves. And so, like others who feel abandoned and betrayed, realizing he was going to be demonized rather than lionized, Adolph Hitler committed suicide.
Eugenics proponents are still hard at work, in fact, the defeat of Hitler never interrupted their agenda. Organizations like March of Dimes recreated themselves to suggest their work was aimed at saving babies from mental and physical impairment through genetic testing. The result is that their "search and destroy" advocacy of prenatal testing has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of babies' lives; some destroyed through their research and testing practices, many more in the millions because parents were taught that Down Syndrome and other "imperfections" were tantamount to a death sentence anyway and resorted to abortion as the "cure" for "birth defects."
Research the Human Genome Project; search under "genetic hybrids," "Golden Helix," and follow the trail of their key researchers like Alberto Piazza. Go back and read the writings of H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, and consider where they are going at a point when the aging population around the globe is outnumbering any other age category. Scroll down or open the attachment on cloning, and consider that man has raised himself up, he believes, to the throne of God and finds nothing of evil that he should not do. "Cathy"

-------------------------------------------
I’ve spent two
months of Sundays on the abortion.ws blog.
Over the years it’s shifted its emphasis from pro-babykilling to
anti-Catholic, but it’s no-less enticing.
Here’s their last post that I will respond to or even read:
Kate, Why would
God make us fully capable of rational and critical thought if we are only
rewarded for blind faith and obedience like that of prolifers?
Your Friend: Wow, Kate! Such a powerful question. Haven’t you ever
heard the joke about God saying I have some good news for you and some bad
news? The first news is that I’ve given you free will. The second new is I’ve
given you free will.
God
doesn’t want to make us into non-thinking robots or Stepford Wives followers of
Christ. No, no. He wants us to know Him and love Him in this world so we can be
happy with Him in the next. Instead of calling it blind faith think of it as
love and obedience. Hopefully we spend all or even most (some) of our lives
learning to know and trust God. Are you trying to know him Kate or are you cynically
and l sarcastically referring to His son as J.C. depicting horrific pictures of
an impregnated Jesus on the cross as you have on your previous blog. Or do you
have a kernel of faith – perhaps wanting to know Him a bit but keeping your
distance so as not to lose your autonomy? Perhaps something so horrific happened to you
that your world fell apart and your trust in God fell apart. That is when we
need to lean on Him even more again trusting that He loves us so much He will
take care of us. Seek Him and He will respond with tenderness.
When we truly realize who we are in Him, we
are able to see how much He loves us and how He sees us in His eyes. God made
us the wonderful creatures we are, but He also made us with a free will. We can
either choose to accept God’s love and forgiveness from Him and choose light
and life or reject Him and chose the darkness and death. The choice is ours, of
course, but I have chosen life and light and I hope that you will too. John
8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He
who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
Jer. 29:13 – “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with your whole heart.”
Jer. 29:13 – “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with your whole heart.”
Maybe you’ve been in some ‘wilderness’ years
– looking, searching, questioning. That’s okay. God understands. He gives us a
lifetime to know Him. He speaks to our hearts every day calling to us to come
to Him. The great news is He never gives up on us.
Learning to trust God seems to require
learning to stop relying on ourselves so much. It means radical change at our
core. Most of us don’t like change of any kind, much less surgery on our core
self. Surgery hurts; it incapacitates and can even make us scream in pain.
God, the divine surgeon, is worth trusting.
He loves us more than we can know. His wounding seems grievous, but it restores
us to wholeness. If you find yourself under his surgical knife, be still and
learn to trust him. St Thomas Aquinas reminds us that we cannot truly love what
we do not know. True intimacy is a deep knowledge of the other person. It also
requires us to be vulnerable. You have been gifted with critical thinking. Use
it to study God. You won’t be sorry. Look at all of the great figures of the
Bible that had to learn to trust God. You are in good company.
Take some time off from your abortion work
and give God one month of your time, talent and treasure. Let Him teach you to
trust Him and to love Him. You could become a great saint and that is what we
are all called to become.
Kate is
Kate Ranieri, the angriest and wordiest voice of our enemies on the blog (though
not the most powerful and dangerous; that belongs to Pat Richards). Kate’s pro-death arguments are easy to pull
apart and over the years I’ve noticed that most of the time my comments have
been deleted they’ve had to do with Kate’s stuff (if it hurts, hide it). Once
liars get away with that kind of editing, their next step is to put words into
your mouth, incriminating words. That
scares me. Recently she threatened to
delete Your Friend (above), so now I no longer suspect Kate, I know.
Can’t
fight city hall. Twice before I’ve quit because of the erasures, and returned
because what they (especially Pat) say is just too provocative to resist
responding to. Not this time though
because now I’m not even going there to read.

Check out what the pro-death journalists have
to say:
Is Providing Abortions Creating a
"Nuisance"?
A judge in Wichita blocks a doctor from
filling a vacancy created by the murder of Dr. George Tiller.
The first doctor to
try to offer abortion services in Wichita, Kansas, since Dr. George Tiller was gunned down in a church in May 2009 has been blocked from doing so—by her landlord,
who has claimed this would create a "nuisance." And groups opposed to
abortion rights are hailing this development as a major win on a prominent
frontline in the national war over abortion.
Dr. Mila Means is a family practitioner in
Wichita, and since last year she has been preparing to provide abortion
services there. (She has been undergoing training with Kansas City abortion
provider, Aid for Women.) But on Monday, a state judge issued a temporary restraining order barring Means from performing abortions at her medical office or
making any changes to the facility that would allow her to do so. Judge Jeffrey
Goering granted this order at the behest of Foliage Development, Inc., the
owner of the building that houses Means' office.
According to a lawsuit Foliage filed on January 28, Means requested
permission from her landlord last fall to begin offering abortion services in
her office later this year. The landlord turned her down, maintaining that it
would violate her lease by "creating a clear nuisance to and disturbing
the peaceful possession of all other tenants." The landlord says that
Means indicated that she would proceed with the plan anyway, which he claims
would violate the terms of the lease.
The nuisance, however, would stem from
protests the landlord anticipates—not from anything that Means would do.
Anti-abortion
activists from Operation Rescue, which is headquartered in Wichita, have
already begun protesting outside her office. An event they held last December
at the building attracted about 100 people, including counter-protesters. The
landlord's suit contends that once Means begins to offer abortion services,
more protestors, demonstrators, and police will be drawn to the building. The
suit notes that the Kansas Coalition for Life has threatened to hold daily
protests outside Means' office and that Operation Rescue has posted Means'
office address and contact information on its website.
According to the landlord's complaint, the
Kansas Coalition for Life has informed the landlord that "it will be a
circus out there."
Already, the landlord says, three other
businesses in the building have threatened to move because of the possibility
of protests.
Wichita has long been an abortion-rights battleground. Operation Rescue relocated its headquarters there in 2002, taking over a building that had once housed
Wichita Family Planning, to concentrate on its campaign against Tiller, a
prominent provider of abortion services. On May 31, 2009, anti-abortion
activist Scott Roeder assassinated Tiller while the doctor was serving as an
usher at the Reformation Lutheran Church.
Means would be the first doctor to perform
abortions in Wichita since the murder. But before she even could start,
Operation Rescue made her a target, posting her photo and address online.
"She's taking the biggest burden," says Jeff Peterson, the manager at
Kansas City's Aid for Women. His office is getting heat, too. "Local
protesters are referring to us a jihadist training camp, saying that we need to
be dealt with like jihadists in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is a little bit
scary," says Peterson.
Operation Rescue and its president, Troy
Newman, have pledged to use all "peaceful and legal means" to keep
Wichita "abortion free." In a press release hailing the court's
temporary restraining order against Means, Operation Rescue touted the fact
that Wichita "has been free from abortions since the closure" of
Tiller's office. Another anti-abortion outfit, Kansans for Life, has been
sending out emails warning that a "grave evil threatens our community"
and assailing Means for attempting to set up "a killing center" in
Wichita.
Peterson says his organization agreed to train
Means because of the need for abortion services in Wichita. "We're doing
this for George [Tiller]," Peterson notes. "I'm doing it for the
patients. Troy Newman says nobody in Wichita wants this. Then why are people
from Wichita coming up here [to Kansas City]? We've got a lot of Wichita
patients coming here, having to drive three hours because there isn't a doctor
close to them."
Means' office declined to comment on the
case, citing the ongoing legal process. Foliage Development, Inc. also declined
to comment. But Foliage has asked the state court to permanently bar Means from
performing abortions at the site. The court has ordered Means to appear at a
February 15 hearing.
Kari Ann Rinker, state coordinator for the
National Organization of Women and a Wichita resident, says the city had four
abortion providers in the 1990s—until anti-abortion activists began waging
fierce campaigns against each of them. Eventually, Tiller was the
only remaining provider in town. Now
the one doctor who wants to fill the vacancy his murder created is being
thwarted—not because she's creating a nuisance but because anti-abortion
crusaders are.
As Rev. Bray
says, God calls each of do what he can to oppose this holocaust. May he call a hundred others to become Troy
Newman disciples.

You might
remember reading Michael Hirsh’s demur when the prolife movement was crowning
Abby Johnson latest queen last year.
What Michael says after that gets even better:
When I filled out my law school applications
a few decades ago, there was a question that asked why I wanted to go to law
school. My answer was indelicately truthful and succinct: Abortion is going
to be outlawed in my lifetime and we are going to have our own Nuremberg-like
tribunals for those who participated. I want to be the prosecuting attorney.
Some years later I was on a television program with O.J. Simpson lawyer, Johnnie Cochran (in fairness, Mr. Cochran has since moved on to another jurisdiction and undoubtedly has a different view now). I was being interviewed because of some abortion clinic violence and the fact that I’ve represented a number of individuals who have opted to close abortion clinics in more of a – how do you say – spectacular fashion.
While I remain steadfastly opposed to violence, far be it from me to impose my morality on others. But I digress.

While I remain steadfastly opposed to violence, far be it from me to impose my morality on others. But I digress.
Among other discussions,
Mr. Cochran and I had the following exchange:
Cochran: Mr. Hirsh, do you think these acts of violence
against abortion providers will continue?
Hirsh: Well, Mr. Cochran, one need not be too much a
student of history to see that the answer to that question is yes. In fact,
this is, in my opinion, the second most dangerous time in history to be in the
abortion business.
Cochran: Second most dangerous? When is the first most
dangerous?
Hirsh: When abortion is made illegal and I am the
prosecuting attorney in the Crimes Against Humanity tribunals that will be held
afterward.
Cochran: Are you kidding?
Hirsh: Do I look like I’m kidding?
Strangely, some people choke on the concept
of trials for individuals and organizations (are you listening, Planned
Parenthood?) that have actively participated in the largest holocaust the world
have ever witnessed. The precedent for such proceedings is clear.
Despite the best efforts of modern government education, many are at least vaguely familiar with the trials of the Major War Criminals in Nuremberg following World War II. Depending on the severity of the offense, for Nazi leaders were punished for their crimes with sentences ranging from prison to execution.
At the trial of the major war criminals, Chief Prosecutor Robert Jackson (who was later a U.S. Supreme Court Justice) observed:

At the trial of the major war criminals, Chief Prosecutor Robert Jackson (who was later a U.S. Supreme Court Justice) observed:
“The ultimate step . . . is to make statesmen
responsible to law. And let me make clear that while this law is first applied
against German aggressors, the law includes . . . other nations, including
those which sit here now in judgment. We are able to do away with domestic tyranny
and violence and aggression by those in power against the rights of their own
people only when we make all men answerable to the law. This trial represents
mankind’s desperate effort to apply the discipline of the law to statesmen who
have used their powers of state to attack the foundations of the world’s peace
and to commit aggressions against the rights of their neighbors.”
What has been lost in much of the American
consciousness is the fact that following the Trial of the Major War Criminals,
there were a series of twelve additional trials held at the Palace of Justice
in Nuremberg and presided over by the United States. The third of those trials
was called the Justice Case. In it, members of the German judiciary were taken
to task for their abuses from the bench.
Judges became the judged. Four of the fourteen defendants were acquitted. The remainder received sentences ranging from five years to life imprisonment.
Of particular historical interest is that the eighth of the twelve trials at Nuremberg was the RuSHA Case, which was referred to as the “Abortion Case.” That trial commenced on July 1, 1947. Fourteen individuals were indicted by the Nuremberg Military Tribunal for their respective roles in the Nazi program of forced abortion. In that trial, members of the agency responsible for implementing “laws” were tried for extermination of unborn children.
The indictment charged the defendants with carrying out a “systematic program of genocide, aimed at the destruction of foreign nations and ethnic groups . . . by murderous exterminations.” It’s a page straight out of Margaret Sanger’s playbook.
One memo from Heinrich Himmler’s office directed that Polish women with unfavorable racial examinations “be made to consent.” On February 18, 1944, the directors of the German Office of Race and Resettlement (RuSHA) issued a letter:

“As you know, racially substandard offspring
of Eastern workers and Poles is to be avoided, if at all possible. Although
pregnancy interruptions ought to be carried out on a voluntary basis only,
pressure is to be applied in each of these cases.”
While the Defendants maintained that all
abortions were voluntary, the prosecution responded: every pregnancy had to be reported to the
dreaded Gestapo. The suggestion of an abortion by that organization did not
invite argument from Polish and Russian women . . . . even if it be assumed
that all abortions were voluntary, they still constitute a crime.
Although crimes against the workers
themselves were part of the indictment, an extract from the prosecution’s
closing brief reveals another reason these Defendants were charged: Abortions were prohibited in Germany . . . .
After the Nazis came to power this law was enforced with great severity.
Abortions were also prohibited under the Polish Penal Code . . . . But
protection of the law was denied to the unborn children of the
Russian and Polish women in Nazi Germany. Abortions were encouraged and even
forced on these women. (emphasis added).
Even if all the abortions were voluntary, as
the Defendants asserted, their actions were considered criminal, a “murderous
extermination,” against the rights of unborn children.
On March 10, 1948, all but one of the Defendants were convicted and sentenced by the Tribunal to prison for terms ranging from credit for time served to life imprisonment.

It seems that Abby’s self-proclaimed
“vehement” opposition to the death penalty in general is predicated on the
implications of the death penalty to those who work in the abortion industry,
including her, and; secondly, that those so implicated would be denied an
opportunity to repent and experience the Grace of God. On this second point,
nothing is further from the truth.
Repeatedly throughout Holy Scripture we are exhorted to consider the end of our lives as an aid to repentance and holiness. One of the reasons any of us sin is we deceive ourselves into thinking that we “got away with it.” We think we are smarter than the previous fool who got caught. But nothing gives a soul the opportunity to reflect and repent than the awareness of our own mortality. Sometimes that opportunity mercifully comes by cancer, by old age, and, yes, by time on death row.
It is the ultimate expression of eternal cruelty to deny a person the opportunity to repent. What the sinner (be it me, Abby Johnson, or some lesser sinner) does with that opportunity is between God and them.
Though it may not be on the same order of magnitude, those who parade Miss Johnson around as anything other than a novice, do her and the prolife movement a great disservice.

Abby Johnson, my sister in Christ, welcome.
Now please be quiet.
