“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 yet 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, two grand for others.
I think
we can all agree there is nothing peaceful, nonviolent, or prolife about
letting innocent children be killed. So I believe we should examine every
legitimate means, including force, in our attempt to protect children from
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.

This concludes Cathy Ramey’s comment on
Begium’s decision to permit counselors to persuade children to kill themselves:
And then it's off to buy those cute
little Hello Kitty toys
that little girls love so much.
Do they know what horrid adultery we have come to; the cost of those "cute" icons is far more than the tag at the Macy's or Wal-Mart counter. The cost in blood can no longer be calculated.
Americans and the world, almost to a man we have spread our legs wide. We really have no shame.
Indeed, the United States is the agency by which China was compelled to come up with a stringent "population control" policy in the '60s in order to be admitted to the U.N., and to be eligible to borrow monies from the World Bank. (What people won't do for money!)
Indeed, "It won't stop with the Unborn; It won't stop with the children..."
As with the warning rhyme of the 70s, "I see a bad moon arising..../I see troubles on the way...."

Dear John, Let me
pose a hypothetical question. Suppose someone was to kill Chief Justice Roberts
and throw his body in the dumpster behind one of the Nation's many abortion
clinics. Would that be homicide? I think most Americans would say yes. But
legally speaking, in order to make a determination of homicide in court, you
would need a statement from the coroner. Yet the coroner will not be able to
tell the court at what moment did the Chief Justice's life begin any more than
for the other victims in the dumpster, and officially it is not a homicide
without a coroner's statement. So if the requirement for calling the coroner to
examine the bodies in the dumpster behind the abortion clinic is that a determination
can be made of when the victim's life began, then the body of the Chief Justice
would not qualify for examination by the coroner either. So what we are really
talking about is not an abortion clinic. Instead, what we are literally talking
about is a coroner-free zone. The Nation has made it a rule not to call the CSI
team to investigate the cause of death when bodies are found in the dumpster
behind an abortion clinic. This way, without a determination from the coroner,
then legally speaking there is no act of homicide which can literally be proven
in court.
In the United States and England, slightly different legal tactics are
taken. In England, the law expressly forbids the coroner to examine the bodies
in the dumpster behind the abortion clinic. But in the United States, the
approach is a bit more indirect. For rather than expressly forbidding the
coroner, instead a legal presumption is created whereby it would simply
interfere with a woman's right to "privacy" for the coroner to investigate
what she did with her physician at the abortion clinic.
Either way, a coroner-free zone is created, which in turn legally
prevents a determination of homicide from being presented in court. This is
why, legally speaking, abortion is not treated as an act of homicide in the
United States or England, despite being an act of killing a human being.
Sincerely, Cal

Bret -- Mom
& Dad, Yesterday, in front of an
abortion clinic in a suburb of Oklahoma City, Toby Harmon and another A//A
member were attacked by a boyfriend of a mother that just killed her
child. The attacker smashed his GoPro camera, and struck each of them
several times. Also threatened to shoot Toby. The local Sheriff's
deputies arrived at the scene, and did not arrest the attacker, even though
they admitted that he was the aggressor. They also allowed him to file an
assault charge against Toby, for which he will be going to court soon.
Please pray he is not railroaded! To me, the whole thing just stinks!
The Holmans -- Evil cops, wicked
city. I saw on Facebook the expensive Go-Pro camera he smashed. We use
spy cameras with an external battery that records 3-4 hours continuously for
under $50.
Dave – Yes. They’re doomed – they
slashed WBC’s tires. I will forward your reply to some of my co-workers and
former co-workers.
The Holmans -- fight back when it
is happening!
Dave -- Mr. & Mrs. Holman, Right on!
me – Maybe
it’s growing because two “peaceful, prayerful prolifers” here in Allentown were
attacked last week, expensive signs destroyed.
At least these folks know they’re having an effect.
(Yeah, I know,
some parts of the story are missing, and Initials frustrate me, like A//A and
WBC. Hope I can clear things up by next issue.)

Mr. John Duncan, My name is Jeremy Smallwood. I am writing you in hopes of getting on the
Monthly Newsletter you mail to a few inmates.
Mr. Francis Grady shared his with me.
I was very interested in the topics.
Also I have very strong views and opinions when it comes to
abortion. Period point blank it’s
murder, and I feel like if you don’t want children stop being so careless in
your habits, or desires if you will. The
child didn’t ask to be brought into the
world. However, there are plenty of families
that would love a home for that child.
All it boils down to is selfishness, inconsideration for human
life. It literally sickens me how a woman can be so deviant and
heartless towards a child. I’m Pro-Life
to the Bone and would love to get out and bring
awareness to people about abortion.
I also have strong political views about contraception as well. However, I will touch on that another time.
Mr.
Grady was telling me about a list, “Prisoners for Christ.” I’m not sure if I qualify for that. However, I’d like to be on it if I do. Also, as I said previously, put me on the
contraception is Murder list to receive the newsletter.
I’m
29 years old from Tennessee. I should be
getting released June, 2016, so anything positive, especially Pro-Life, I’d
love to be involved in. I don’t have
family so that would be a great addition to my life, being able to save babies
from the harsh and Cruel society we now live in.
Mr.
Duncan it’s been a pleasure, I hope to gain your consideration.
Great letter, Jeremy, and I’ll send you the
newsletter. The only way you can get on
the Prisoners For Christ list, though, is when you get out break one of Satan’s
laws protecting the baby-killing industry.
Then get caught and locked up again.

Last issue Jim Kopp reviewed a
book, The Wisdom of the Desert, Some Sayings of the Desert Fathers. Here
are excerpts and comment:
--Abbot Pastor said, “Just as bees are driven out by smoke, and their
honey is taken away from them, so a life
of ease drives out the fear of the Lord from a man’s soul.
--A certain brother came to Abbot Silvanus at Mount Sinai, and seeing
the hermit at work he eclaimed: Why do
you work for the bread that perisheth?
Mary has chosen the best part, namely to sit at the feet of the Lord
without working. Then the abbot said to
the disciple Zachary: Give the brother a book and let him read, and put him in
an empty cell. At the ninth hour the
brother who was reading began to look out to see if the Abbot was not going to
call him to dinner, and sometime after the ninth hour he went himself to the
Abbot and said: Did the bretheren not eat today, Father? Oh yes, certainly, said the Abbot, they just
had dinner. Well, said the brother, why
did you not call me? You are a spiritual
man, said the elder, you don’t need this food that perisheth. We have to work, but you have chosen the best
part. You read all day, and can get
along without food. Hearing this the
brother said: Forgive me Father. And the
elder said: Martha is necessary to Mary, for it was because Martha worked that
Mary was able to be praised.
[Comment to my prolife brothers and sisters: piety, prayers, worship,
Bible reading, as good as all these things are, are never, ever, ever, ever,
ever, ever a substitute for rescuing today the child who is getting her legs
pulled off today, and her mother
who’s getting psychologically scraped like a cantaloupe today, and could have been rescued today, and would have been rescued today from being scraped and pulled apart today, except that you and I were too busy “praying” and reading
the Bible today to pick up our cross
and follow Him today.
Jesus never said, “Read the Bible
and you’ll be saved.” He never said that
about “prayer” or “worship” except and unless those activities are inextricably
linked to the act of following HIM.
Follow Him to the mills and do what your heart says to do along Thomistic
guidelines, the well-known guidelines. You
will never, ever, ever, ever regret it, and you’ll have, grace of God, 30
trillion years to thank God you worshipped Him truly in the only way possible, by obeying His commands.
Justification is by grace, my fine-feathered Calvinist friends, but
sanctification is by grace/cooperation.
“Many call me ‘Lord, Lord . .
.’ [‘boss, Boss’] who shall not see the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Ask your Calvinist pastor to look up justification, sanctification and
glorification in the Koine’ Greek New Testament. Put these three together, and together they
mean “salvation” in English.
I was taught this particle of Catholic moral theology by the Reformation
preacher Francis Schaeffer, no friend to Catholicism.
You’ll never regret it, I promise you, but you will lose that sinking
feeling that Bible study, “prayer,” etc., unbalanced by applied Bible study (Matt. 25), is empty.
Don’t be empty! Jump on in, the
water’s fine! Life is short, eternity is
almost here, no matter what age you
are.
And if you do spend a few days in the clink, you’ll regret in time that
you ever thought that jail could be worse, or even close, to getting your arms and legs pulled off,
while those who could rescue you were reading the Bible and “praising God
(parable, good Samaritan).
Having said this, my fellow Americans, tempted as we are on all sides by
time-wasting movies (too many) malls (too many) new cars (too many) and all
that . . ., consider this, a better way to die:
The story is told that one of the elders
lay dying in Scete, and the bretheren
surrounded his bed, dressed him in the
shroud, and began to weep.
But he opened his eyes and laughed.
He laughed another time, and
then a
third time.
When the bretheren saw this, they
asked him, saying : Tell us Father, why
you are laughing while we weep? He
said to them: I laughed the first
time
because you fear death. I laughed the
second time because you are not ready
for death, And the third time I laughed
because from labours I go to my
rest.
As soon
as he had said this, he closed
his eyes in death.
Now, this is helluva way to die: not crying over all the time we wasted
on new cars, malls, etc., but we could say with Paul: “I’ve run the race. I’m pooped” (paraphrase).
P.S. On Judgment Day, before the
Master of the Day of Judgment, no one ever said, “Gee, I wish I‘d spent more
time watching TV . . .”
With much love and sorrow for my own miserable hesitations and
distractions in the past, JK (signed)

Here’s my
favorite Catholic critic, Cal:
Dear John, You may
have heard the story about the Italian woman who wrote Pope Francis a letter.
She complained none of the local priests would baptize her baby because she
disobeyed the Church by conceiving the child outside proper moral boundaries.
To the woman's surprise, the Pope called her on the phone to say if she could
not find a "spiritual father" (meaning a priest concerned more about
spirituality than social standards) willing to perform the sacrament, then he
would baptize the baby himself. But when it comes to in vitro fertilization
programs, the Catholic clergy I have talked to say a priest cannot come and
bless a child in a Petri dish because the parents disobeyed the Church by
conceiving the child outside proper moral boundaries. So I tell the joke that I
phoned Jesus and told him if he cannot find a spiritual father (meaning a pope)
who is more concerned about spirituality than social standards, then I will
bless the baby myself!
I
respond in brackets:
Dear John, You may have heard the story about
the Italian woman who wrote Pope Francis a letter. She complained none of the
local priests would baptize her baby because she disobeyed the Church by
conceiving the child outside proper moral boundaries. [She got that
wrong. They probably refused her because she wouldn’t promise to raise
the child Catholic.]
To the woman's surprise, the Pope called her
on the phone to say if she could not find a "spiritual father"
(meaning a priest concerned more about spirituality than social standards)
willing to perform the sacrament, then he would baptize the baby himself. [Bet
she found one.]
But when it comes to in vitro fertilization
programs, the Catholic clergy I have talked to say a priest cannot come and
bless a child in a Petri dish because the parents disobeyed the Church by
conceiving the child outside proper moral boundaries. [They got that wrong. The
reason they didn’t baptize him or her is that they don’t baptize anybody till
he or she is outside the womb.]
So I tell the joke that I phoned Jesus and
told him if he cannot find a spiritual father (meaning a pope) who is more
concerned about spirituality than social standards, then I will bless the baby
myself! [Of course Jesus concurred.]
Then
Cal and I go back and forth:
Cal --
John, I see you have reverted to your usual commenting whenever the
Catholic Church is involved.
me -- No, no, Cal. I have posted many attacks on the Church, have
commented on a few, and have written some of them myself. And I will post yours and add my own
separately.
Cal -- I hope you will remove those comments when you
publish it and add your own separately at the end. At any rate, you are kind of
ambiguous with your comments. Pope Francis seemed to be familiar with this problem
in the clergy in Italy, and it seems unlikely the woman would have written the
Pope if she was unwilling to raise her child Catholic.
me -- You’re wrong here. The only thing that makes sense is what I
say.
Cal -- Plus, the babies in the Petri dishes
ARE outside the womb.
me -- No again. The dish is the womb. If the child is transferred to a natural
womb, she will be baptized after she’s born.
If she is brought to term in an artificial womb, she will be baptized
then.
Cal -- So your defense of the clergy would
not apply in this case, and whether the children in Petri dishes are destined
to be implanted in the womb later on is a completely separate matter. The
important question for you to answer is this: Do you think Pope Francis is
going to bless children at in vitro fertilization clinics?
me -- Well, sure, but he’s not going to
baptize them, and he sure as hell ain’t going to call those dens of iniquity
clinics. [tbc]

Journalist
Roxana Hegeman is pro-death of course, but fair, by and large. I’ve posted several of her articles on
Scott. Here’s the latest:
The Kansas Supreme Court will hear arguments
this month in the appeal of the man found guilty of killing a Kansas abortion
doctor.
The high court has been presented with a
litany of issues on appeal, both from abortion opponent Scott Roeder’s
court-appointed defense attorney and from filings written for him by militant
anti-abortion activists. One challenge to his first-degree murder conviction
argues that jurors should have been allowed to consider a lesser charge of
voluntary manslaughter, given Roeder’s belief that the shooting of Dr. George
Tiller was justified to save the lives of unborn children.
The hearing is scheduled
for Jan. 29. The court has set aside 30 minutes for it. Roeder will not be
present for the proceedings.
Roeder was convicted in the shooting death of
Tiller in May 2009 as the doctor served as an usher at his Wichita church.
Tiller was among a few U.S. physicians known to perform abortions in the last
weeks of pregnancy.
Roeder also was found guilty of two counts of
aggravated assault for threatening two ushers who tried to stop him after the
shooting.
Roeder’s trial attorneys built their defense
around the theory that their client should be found guilty of the lesser crime
of voluntary manslaughter, given his honest belief that that he was saving
lives by killing the doctor. At his trial, the judge allowed the confessed
killer to testify to that belief. But the judge ultimately refused to let the
jury consider such a lesser charge after hearing all the trial evidence.
The defense’s tactic at trial outraged
Tiller’s colleagues and abortion rights advocates, who feared the trial court’s
decision gave a more-than-tacit approval to further acts of violence.
In Kansas, voluntary manslaughter is defined
as “an unreasonable but honest belief that circumstances existed that justified
deadly force.” A Kansas Supreme Court ruling would help clarify whether such a
law would apply in Roeder’s case.
The appeal also argues jurors should have
been allowed to consider a lesser charge of intentional second-degree murder.
Among other issues raised on appeal is
whether the judge made a mistake in restricting and limiting Roeder’s courtroom
statement at sentencing and whether the trial should have been moved, given
Wichita’s history of conflict over the abortion issue.
The appeal also questions
the constitutionality of Kansas’ “Hard 50” sentencing law.
Roeder was sentenced to life in prison
without the possibility of parole for 50 years, a term that was set by a judge.
However, legislators changed that process in September during a two-day special
session after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that held that such prison sentences
can only be imposed by juries.
The attorney general contends that
legislators made only a procedural change to the law in making the fix during
the special session, not a substantive change in law, thus all sentences should
still apply. The Roeder case is among several appeals that challenge that
assertion.
Roeder’s case questions the constitutionality
of the Hard 50 sentencing scheme because the jury did not determine the facts
that doubled the penalty from an ordinary life sentence.

First Abortion Clinic of 2014 Closes Following Record Closures in 2013
The Ft. Wayne Women’s Health
Center in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, is the first surgical abortion clinic to
officially shut down in 2014 following a record-breaking year where 87
surgical abortion clinics permanently closed.
Abortionist Ulrich G. Klopfer has told the press
that the closure is a “hiatus” after he lost his hospital back-up physician and
could not legally operate after January 1; however, there is reason to believe
the closure could eventually become permanent.
A closure notice appears on his
web site and the phone number to his clinic has been disconnected, actions that
usually indicate there is no intention of reopening.
“While Klopfer could possibly
reopen his Ft. Wayne abortion clinic if he is able to secure another back-up
physician, given the highly publicized legal issues he is currently facing, it
is doubtful that any reputable doctor would put his own reputation on the line
for him,” said Troy Newman, President of Operation Rescue.
Those legal problems began when Indiana Right to Life’s Cathy Humbarger
made a Freedom of Information Act Request for state termination of pregnancy
reports last year. The group was shocked to discover 1,590 errors and omissions
on the reports related to abortions in Lake and Allen Counties where Klopfer
had worked, including a lack of reporting of abortions done on underage girls.
In at least one case, Humbarger discovered that Klopfer failed to report an
incident of statutory rape on a 13-year-old girl.
To date, over 1,200 consumer
complaints have been filed with the Indiana Attorney General’s office against
Klopfer for violations of the state mandated reporting laws, non-reporting of
child sex abuse, and other violations. Indiana Right to Life is demanding that
his medical license be revoked.
It was soon after news of
Klopfer’s stunning disregard for Indiana reporting laws was made public by
Indiana Right to Life that Klopfer’s Ft. Wayne back-up physician quit his
agreement with the troubled abortionist.
Klopfer continues to run the
Women’s Pavilion abortion clinic in South Bend, but if Humbarger’s group is
successful, that clinic could be in jeopardy of closing as well.
With a record amount of pro-life
legislation flooding statehouses since the 2011 legislative season, pro-life
activists have more opportunities than ever to document abortion abuses and
violations of the law.
“We consulted with Cathy
Humbarger on how to proceed with this situation and are so proud of her and her
group for doggedly pursuing these massive abortion law violations against Klopfer
that have ultimately resulted in the closing of his Ft. Wayne abortion clinic,”
said Newman. “Cathy is working a plan that we have used with great success, and
is proving that abortion laws – even the most mundane – can be used to close
abortion clinics and save lives at the local level now while we continue to
work toward ending abortion altogether. We pray their efforts will put this
scofflaw abortionist out of business for good.”

Here’s the beginning of Cathy Ramey’s comment on Jahi McMath’s situation:
Latest reports on this 13-year-old child are that she moves (mother's
testimony) and remains alive (as opposed to being a corpse forcibly
maintained on machinery).
But whether Jahi is truly dead or alive, people should know that in the U.S. there are over 50 definitions of "brain death." Most are construed to be useful in appropriating organ donations. This is important to the harvesting industry because fresher organs have less chance of failure in the new "host." (Sounds a bit like cannibalism and taking in the blood of another for the new patient's personal gain, to some ethicists, but these are not the "Caplin" or "Singer" types that get quoted in the news.)
Healthier organs increase transplant success rates and bring in a lot of money to hospitals and surgeons involved in the transplant.
There have been several cases reported over the years that indicate "life support" was pulled for the patient and she was used as a donor in a situation the autopsy physician later determined was entirely survivable; the moment of death was really and truly at that point when the heart or other vital organs (lungs) were removed.
In organ donation, the machinery to support life is not actually "turned off." That would place organs at greater risk of failure. The patient's chart, under her own name is closed with a time of death.
A new chart has already been set up and is opened immediately, so the patient who was someone's son or daughter, father or mother, aunt, or best friend a moment before, becomes a "Jane Doe," or "John Doe." That new chart, along with necessary life support machinery and various medications (organ preserving; not necessarily life sustaining, which are started well before the "death" of the individual patient is charted in the original chart) are now tracked under the name "Doe." These go with the "Doe" patient and the surgical team into the surgery where organs and tissues are then "harvested." [tbc]

number. Then send it to Federal Bureau of Prisons, PO Box 474701, Des Moines, IA 50947-0001.
Ask the non-feds how they may receive money –
check, money order, etc. It varies by state.

Receipt of this excellent missive
notwithstanding, if you wish to be excluded from such blessings in the future,
simply advise me.
