Pro-Life Activism Opportunities In Maryland

There are two activism opportunities arising in July.  I list them in chronological order.

2012 Artscape in Baltimore  Join pro-life activists at this event as they educate Artscape attendees of the reality of abortion.  They will be doing so via pictures of abortion victims, distribution of literature and discussions with attendees.  Activists will be there Friday July 20th and Saturday July 21st, from 4:00pm till 7:30pm at the intersection of Mount Royal Avenue and North Charles Street.  For additional information please contact Kurt Linnemann at klinnemann@cbrinfo.org or 410-913-3931.

12th Annual Face The Truth Tour  Conducted by Defend Life from July 23rd to July 27th.  Please visit Defend Life's website for the latest information, including a schedule of the tour and a downloadable flyer.

Maryland News: Bad And Good

First I'll give the bad news.  It appears that State's Attorney Ellis Rollins (for Cecil County MD) dropped criminal murder charges against Steven Chase Brigham and Nicola Riley.  I've blogged on the sordid careers of these two baby-killers (put their names in the search box).  Operation Rescue has more on this.  Kinda makes one wonder what pressure was brought to bear on Mr. Rollins.

Now the good news.  In summer of 2008, several members of Defend Life's Face the Truth Tour underwent false arrests in Harford County, MD.  Eventually charges against all of them were dropped (almost right after the arrests, since they weren't even formulated at the time of the arrests).  Defend Life pursued justice, and now the Maryland Board of Public Works will be paying over $385,000 to the falsely-arrested pro-lifers.  Moreover, the Maryland State Police must implement a training program within 120 days to train its officers and employees in the meaning of the First and Fourth Amendments   Yes, there is justice, and the Bill of Rights still means something!

Obama Confronted With Truth - Twice!

During a bus stop in Iowa, two Tea Party activists confronted him about the Vice President calling them (and us, by extension) terrorists.  Today, Ryan Rhodes spoke with both Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin; I heard some pieces of each interview.  Mr Rhodes made repeated reference to his faith in God.  Click here if you can't see embedded video.



During the Face the Truth Tour this year, some activists from Defend Life (see right side bar) positioned themselves on Embassy Row along a route that Obama was slated to take.  Obama had to have seen the truth of what he promotes.  Click here if you cannot see embedded video.

The Truth About Abortion Sends Pro-Abort Lemmings Into A Tizzy

What is it about pro-abortion people and their visceral reactions to the true pictures of abortion?  Could it be that their consciences are stung by the truth?  Might it be that their abortionist pals might lose out on a few hundred dollars if an abortion-bound woman sees the pictures and (gasp!) chooses not to abort her baby?  Just last week at the Silver Spring Planned Parenthood we saw yet another typical knee-jerk reaction, as a deathscort tries (in vain) to block the truth.  Take a look to your right!  Note that tell-tale orange vest.

In another area of the country, the Northland Family Planning Center in Lansing, Michigan, tried to put a pretty, smiley face on the horror of abortion via a video in January.  The Center for Bioethical Reform took that clip and spliced some shots therein telling the truth about abortion.  Seeing that their attempt to put lipstick on a rattlesnake was being foiled, the abortuary is threatening to sue CBR.  The Thomas More Law Center is representing CBR and sent a letter to the abortuary's attorneys stating that they would be happy to take the matter to court.

Below is the CBR video.  Warning: GRAPHIC!  Click here if you can't see embedded video

Alberta Bishops Cop Out Of Their Local March For Life

Actually, they claim to be boycotting that March for Life.  And what is the lame excuse?  Oh yes, it's lame!  They're not coming because march organizers cannot guarantee that participants won't bring graphic abortion pictures - the ones that tell the plain truth about what abortion is.  The pictures that do tend to prick consciences with their frank depiction of the horrid violence that is abortion.

I suppose the bishops don't want people to be made uncomfortable by the truth.  But isn't that the nature of truth?  There are, in fact, only two authentic reactions to truth.  They are:

• Acceptance of the truth and adherence to it, usually resulting in repentance and coversion
• Rejection of the truth and bitter hatred of those who bear its standard, often resulting in violent actions to the truth-bearers (the woman mentioned in the post below suffered such violence)

No phony "kinder and gentler" approach will do, as any attempt to spin the truth or put a "kind face" to it will inherently render the truth to be falsehood.

So why are the bishops refusing to be around the stark depictions of the truth?  Will they soon be taking down the crucifixes from their churches and other buildings?  The Lifesitenews article from which I gleaned this information has the contact information for these bishops.  Please - particularly my Canadian readers - write to them and insist that they "man up" to their sacerdotal graces and responsibilities.

Vortex: The Cost Of Abortion

This hour-long segment of the Vortex has some worthwhile information regarding abortion and its implications.  There are some graphic pictures that tell the truth regarding abortion.  While some might advise you of that to give you the opportunity to leave the room (Voris does that), I'm going to depart that path.  I'm going to challenge you to watch it, in all its horror, so that you'll understand why you have a moral imperative to act against it.  Don't wimp out and walk away.  Man up, or woman up, as the case may be.  Put some calcium in your spine, accept the truth and act upon the truth.

Face Abortion In All Its Horrid Ugliness!

To some of my more squeemish friends - get over it and get serious.  We must show abortion if we are ever going to see its end.

MD Pro-Life Activists Vindicated In Suit Against Harford County

In the summer of 2008, the annual Face the Truth Tour, spearheaded by Defend Life, was interrupted in Harford County when police arrested the FTT participants who were peacefully standing along the road with their signs.  Moreover, three of the young women were strip-searched by the police.

Defend Life and the pro-life activists filed suit against the State of Maryland, Harford Couty and the Town of Bel Air.  They were, and are, being assisted by attorneys from the Alliance Defense Fund.

Harford County has settled with the activists.  According to the Lifenews article, the Harford State Attorney opposed the sheriff's office and its treatment of the pro-lifers.  However, there are two other defendants in the case: the Town of Bel Air and the State of Maryland.  If they do not settle, there will be a trial in federal court.

Black Friday In Tyson's Corner, Virginia

Shoppers swarming into the mall there to get early-bird bargains for their Christmas shopping received a reminder of their duties as decent human beings.  Christmas is about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, who came as a baby.  Today, many other babies, thousands every day, are being slaughtered via abortion.  These shoppers received a much-needed challenge to shake them out of complaceny and hopefully to stir their consciences.  About 20 pro-lifers showed pictures of the true nature of abortion, in what is commonly called a Face the Truth tour.  Yes the pictures are gory, but - that's the nature of abortion.  Click here if you can't see embedded video.



As Peter Shinn said in the video, if anyone is interested in starting such an effort in their locality, please contact Pro-Life Unity or Defend Life.  Alternatively, you may also contact Joe Scheidler's Pro-Life Action League.

Our Troops Are Endangered To Fund Kennedy Memorial

After reading this week how our troops in Afghanistan and other dangerous outposts are being stretched due to shortages in vital supplies, I was disgusted to read of the sqandering of $20 million dollars to build some sort of "educational institute to honor and preserve the legacy of the late Senator Ted Kennedy." A particular cause for outrage is that this $20 million dollar earmark is being syphoned from monies that were intended for troop training, fuel and ammunition.

Our troops are in harm's way, and the liberal clowns who run Washington are already hell-bent on cutting them off at the knees by strangling their funding. This nonsense is the brain-fart of John Kerry, Kennedy's fellow pro-abortion "Catholic-in-name-only" senator from Massachusetts. History lesson! In the 2004 elections, it came to light that Kerry considered his fellow Vietnam vets to be murderers. In protest of the war, he tossed his medals over the White House fence - oh, wait! Sorry! I forgot! Kerry tossed someone else's medals over the wall! My bad!


However, if we want to see the real legacy of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, please look to the right. He has, for most of his chequered career, aided and abetted the murder of millions of tiny children, such as this poor little girl shown at the right. This picture was taken on Route 219 in Deep Creek, MD during a Face the Truth Tour on Sept 5th. A state-wide tour occurs in Maryland every summer, orchestrated by Defend Life.

Just think! If you participate in this (and/or other similar efforts), you are not only giving our nation a much-needed wake-up call, but you're helping to display the "legacy" of the late Ted Kennedy. Maybe the feds can sell that monstrosity and give that money back to our soldiers!
