The American College of Physicians (ACP) wrote in a position statement published last Sept. 19 in the Annals of Internal Medicine that the organization of 152,000 medical professionals stands against the legalization of physician-assisted suicide, “the practice of which raises ethical, clinical, and other concerns.” “Control over the manner and timing of a person’s death has not been and should not be a goal of medicine,” the group concluded. “However, though high-quality care, effective communication, compassionate support, and the right resources, physicians can help patients control many aspects of how they live out life’s last chapter.” The position paper came in response to increasing public interest in legalizing euthanasia to promote patient autonomy

Editor's Note: After learning Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) had signed HB 40 into law in Illinois, I received this email from respected lobbyist Rev. Bob Vanden Bosch that explains the implications of HB 40 for Illinois citizens more thoroughly. - AW Dear Friends, Once again Governor Rauner disappoints! On Good Friday his office announced that he would veto HB 40, which publicly funds abortions, adds abortion to the Illinois insurance plan for employees, and keeps abortion until live birth the law of the land in Illinois even if Roe v. Wade is overturned! This is a drastic change to longstanding Illinois policy! For years Illinois has not paid for abortions through tax-payer funding except for the life of the mother. Illinois citizens have never had to pay for abortions through the state employee health care plans. Surveys clearly show that 70-80% of Illinois citizens do not belief taxpayers should fund abortions. This legislation will require Illinois taxpayers somewhere around $20

Posted at Prairie State Wire : Governor Bruce Rauner will sign House Bill 40, mandating state taxpayer funding of abortion, sources tell Prairie State Wire. Rauner revealed his decision during a staff conference call this morning. In signing the bill, Rauner will become America’s first governor to initiate taxpayer funding of abortions. Today, Medicaid recipients can receive abortions in cases of rape, incest, health and life of the mother. The measure expands that. It means Illinoisans on Medicaid as well as state employees will receive free abortions for any reason, up until the last day of their pregnancy. Read more here.

Posted at Wintery Knight: I noticed that the radically-leftist CNN has another article up warning about the record number of STDs. Excerpt: In 2016, Americans were infected with more than 2 million new cases of gonorrhea, syphilis and chlamydia, the highest number of these sexually transmitted diseases ever reported, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.  […]The agency’s annual Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance Report shows that more than 1.6 million of the new cases were from chlamydia, 470,000 were from gonorrhea and nearly 28,000 cases were of primary and secondary syphilis. Secondary syphilis is the most contagious form of the disease, according to the CDC. While all of these can be cured by antibiotics, many people go undiagnosed and untreated.  Only those three STDs are required by law to be reported to the CDC by physicians. When you include HIV, herpes and more of the dozens of diseases which can be transmitted sexually but which are not

By Geri Ungurean - Posted at Absolute Truth from the Word of God : On the Comedy Central show “Broad City” Hollywood shows the world just how much they unashamedly worship Satan. The Pro-Death camp has always been led by the Evil one, but because he is the Deceiver, this movement was very subtle in the 1970’s. After the Roe Vs. Wade decision in 1973, women were told in killing mills that “It isn’t really a baby right now. It is only a clump of cells.” Now, these satanically inspired women brasenly tell the world “My body – my choice.” They would have an abortion right up to the day of delivery. They claim that their consciences are clear. Here is a clip from the disgusting Broad City show: https://www.mrctv.org/embed/515971 Some women might have a clear conscience, or better said – they are void of a conscience altogether. But many women are left feeling empty and lost; always wondering about the life they allowed an abortionist to snuff out. Read more here.

By Natalie Hattenbach - Posted at The Federalist: Early international ‘family planning’ programs were essentially intended as population control. Today, contraception-pushers use the language of ‘reproductive freedom’ and ‘unmet need.’ Today is World Contraception Day, and the planet’s richest birth control advocates are in high gear. Bill and Melinda Gates suggest in the Wall Street Journal that governments should continue to spend billions of dollars providing “family planning” to developing nations. The U.S. government’s early international “family planning” programs were essentially intended as population control. Today, governments and foundations instead use the language of “reproductive freedom” and “unmet need.” Many women overseas don’t want this kind of “help.” In fact, Bill and Melinda Gates acknowledge that part of the problem is low demand for modern contraceptives. Public and Gates money is therefore regularly used to build demand through expensive and massive

By Pastor Larry DeBruyn and Sarah H. Leslie - Posted at Herescope : Humane theology was the foundation of Dr. George Tiller’s practice. It dictates that alleviating suffering is a Christian’s sacred responsibility. If God is in everything, and in everyone, then God is as much in the woman making a decision to terminate a pregnancy as in her Bible. —Dr. Willie Parker, MD, Life’s Work: A Moral Argument for Choice [1] Because of his “oneness” worldview that God is “in” everyone and everything is “in” God, Dr. Willie Parker believes that God sanctions aborting-killing of babies. The Oprah Magazine quotes him as having written in his book, Alleviating needless suffering is a Christian’s sacred responsibility. If God is in everything, and everyone, then God is as much in the woman making a decision to terminate a pregnancy as in her Bible.[2] Having quoted Parker, it needs to be stated that while the “act” of abortion is outside of God’s love neither the aborted baby nor mo

By Kyle Butt, M.Div. - Posted at Apologetics Press :  A gruesome story surfaced in the Summer of 2016. A 20-year-old college student named Emile Weaver gave birth to a baby in the sorority house of Delta Gamma Theta in New Concord, Ohio. She did not want the baby, so she cut the umbilical cord, threw the baby in a plastic trash bag, and put it in the garbage bin.1 Apparently, Weaver had tried drugs, alcohol, and numerous other substances and activities to kill the baby inutero, all to no avail. When the baby was born, after all the other methods of attempted murder had failed, Weaver finally succeeded in killing her baby. Her fellow sorority sisters discovered her crime, found the baby in the trash, and alerted authorities. Weaver was charged with murder. “A jury found her guilty of aggravated murder, abuse of a corpse and two counts of tampering with evidence.”2 The judge sentenced her to life in prison without parole. He stated that she was selfish and that her baby was to her

Details: Since 1973 there have been over 50 million abortions in the United States. Pastor Robert Haling discusses this troubling statistic and asks in this time, where are the preachers?

By  Michael Spielman Published Sep 12, 2014   The Daily Beast published an article this week by Emily Shire titled, “ Wendy Davis and the ‘Good Abortion’ Myth .” Lest the title confuse you, the author is combatting the notion that some abortions are good and some abortions are bad. Though Shire applauds Davis for her decision to make her own abortions public—saying it was an incredibly brave thing to do—she takes issue with the way Davis did so. The problem with Davis’ confession, Shire argues, is that she felt compelled to justify her abortions as being medically necessary. In Shire’s mind, abortion needs no justification. Trying to explain why you had an abortion simply reinforces the notion that women need a reason for choosing abortion. They don’t, Shire tells us, and concludes by saying that, “until the ‘bad’ abortion stories are just as acceptable (as ‘good’ abortion stories), pro-choice advocates have a long way to go.” The reason I reference this story is becaus

By Heather Clark - Posted at Christian News Network : PORTLAND, Ore. — The Democratic governor of Oregon held a signing ceremony on Monday to celebrate the enactment of a law that that requires insurance companies in the state to cover the murder of the unborn at no cost. While Gov. Kate Brown already signed H.B. 3391, also known as the “Reproductive Health Equity Act,” into law on Aug. 15, a special event was held this week before members of the legislature and abortion advocacy groups to commemorate the bill. “To lead productive and thriving lives, Oregonians must have the ability to control their bodies and make informed decisions about their health care,” she said in a statement. “I am proud to sign legislation that expands access to basic reproductive health services for all Oregonians regardless of where they live, where they come from, or how they identify as a person.” Read more here.

The National Emancipation Proclamation for the Unborn Child We, the Pastors, elders, and citizens of the United States of America do hereby declare on this _____________________, in the year of our Lord two thousand and __________, that all children, from conception forward, are human beings. They are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. In regard to these children, our government has been in overt rebellion against the Law of Almighty God since January 22, 1973. The Supreme Court of the United States of America declared that children in their mother’s wombs were not fully human and therefore not entitled to the full protection of the laws of our government. Because of this open rebellion and blatant disregard for the Law of God and for life, our nation is suffering under the remedial judgments of God Himself. Blood is coursing down the corridors of our schools, work places, and streets.

By Heather Clark - Posted at Christian News Network : AUSTIN, Texas — At least 74 mothers have responded to an offer from a chain of abortion facilities in Texas, which announced that it would provide free abortions to those affected by Hurricane Harvey during the month of September to “help” pregnant mothers who wanted to terminate their pregnancy but could not do so because of the storm. According to reports, Whole Woman’s Health, which has locations in Austin, Fort Worth, San Antonio and McAllen, has also raised $15,000 through the Lilith Fund to pay for the travel of mothers who will be coming from long distances to kill their children. “Texas doesn’t have a safety net, so we have to help people raise money for services,” president Amy Hagstrom Miller told the Dallas Morning News. “Many of these women are traveling for two days and need support for travel and child care.” Read more here.

By Michele Herzog - His Servant for Life! While Floridians awaited the fury of Hurricane Irma, knowing the damage and lives already taken in the islands, they began to hunker down and get ready for this monster of a storm with much anticipation and dread. Unfortunately, and sad to say, there was a mad rush to the abortuaries just prior to this catastrophic storm by women, wanting to hurry up and have their little baby boys and girls killed by abortion! As Allura and I pleaded with the women, we urged them to not be the cause of a fatality, which were horrifically taking place due to Irma. We exhorted them to leave this dark place of death with their child still snug in their womb, and prepare for the Hurricane. Read more here.

LifeSiteNews reports: BREAKING: Catholic priests, pro-life activists arrested at U.S. abortion centers Red Rose Rescue at an abortion center in Sterling Heights, Michigan. (LifeSiteNews) Lianne Laurence Fri Sep 15, 2017 - 1:15 pm EST September 15, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — Ten pro-life activists, including two Catholic priests, were arrested this morning at a Michigan and a Virginia abortion facility while attempting to persuade women not to abort their unborn children. The Friday “Red Rose Rescue” also took place at a third abortion center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Joan Andrews Bell, Joan McKee, Julia Haag, Bonnie Borel-Donough, Franciscan Father of the Renewal Fr. Fidelis Moscinski, and Fr. Stephen Imbarrato were arrested this morning at the Alexandria Women’s Health Clinic at 101 S Whiting St. #215 in Alexandria, Virginia, according to spokesperson Larry Cirignano.

By Randy Alcorn - Posted at Eternal Perspective Ministries : Some people claim that abortion is just a political issue, and not something that Christians should get involved with. But the abortion issue, at its core, is moral, not political. It has everything to do with the worth of a human child. If I were to jump today in front of a car to rescue a child, it would not be to lodge a political protest against reckless driving. It would be to save the life of an innocent child. Abortion became “political” when the law was changed to justify the killing of children. Long before it was ever a divisive political issue, abortion was a moral issue, and one which God has a clear and emphatic position on. I encourage you to take a look at what God’s Word says about unborn children, and what the people of God throughout history have said about abortion. Abortion and end-of-life issues aren’t “merely” about politics. They’re about the dignity and sanctity of human life. I share more on

Order here. From Lutherans For Life : By Edward Fehskens, Linda Bartlett, Karen "W" For those who have had an abortion (or participated in an abortion decision), there are promises of hope from God. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3) “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.” (Isaiah 43:25) As we come to Jesus we are in truth no longer separated from our God. We are completely forgiven as if we never sinned. We have the privilege of experiencing how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:18). “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.” (Philippians 3:20-21) There is no more reason for despair … for there is hope in His healing!

AP file photo - Source: Kansas City Star BY LISA GUTIERREZ - Posted at the Kansas City Star : "The number of abortion providers in the state is now set to grow from just one, in St. Louis, to five, according to the Columbia Daily Tribune ." Satanists. Abortion. Planned Parenthood. Where in the world would those three things have anything to do with one another? In Missouri, apparently, where Planned Parenthood appears to have an unexpected ally in its quest to fight what it considers to be restrictive abortion laws. On Tuesday, Slate staff writer Christina Cauterucci connected the rise of abortion services in Missouri to recent court challenges to the state’s abortion laws by the Satanic Temple , a political activist organization and religion based in Massachusetts. Earlier this week the Temple began arguing — for a second time — in Missouri

By Catherine Candisky - The Columbus Dispatch : The Ohio Supreme Court will hear two high-profile abortion cases this month. The first will decide whether to shutter Toledo’s last abortion clinic, and abortion opponents call it “the most significant abortion case in state history.” The second case, to be heard Sept. 26, involves a lawsuit challenging the legality of patient-transfer agreements, the ban on public hospitals from providing them, and a requirement that doctors inform pregnant women about detection of a fetal heartbeat before they undergo an abortion. Abortion-rights advocates say that if the Toledo clinic in the first case is forced to close, that city would become the first major city in Ohio without access to abortion services. Both cases stem from abortion regulations enacted by state lawmakers. Read more here.

By Eric Ting - Posted at SF Gate : A statewide initiative to criminalize abortion as first-degree murder is one step closer to appearing on the ballot in November 2018. According to the Sacramento Bee , supporters of the initiative have been cleared by California Secretary of State Alex Padilla to begin collecting signatures from registered voters to get the initiative to appear as a ballot measure. The initiative needs 585,407 signatures from registered voters to qualify for the ballot. The measure also expands the definition of abortion to include "some forms of birth control," "medical research" and "in vitro fertilization." Read more here.

Posted at The New American : In the latest example of depravity and lunacy coming from Planned Parenthood, the tax-funded abortion behemoth offers guidelines for talking to Kindergarten-age children about homosexuality, transgenderism, sex, and more. The organization, which receives more than half of a billion dollars annually from the federal government, and more from states, has been pushing this sort of dangerous propaganda for years. The American College of Pediatricians, though, calls such indoctrination "child abuse." It is time for taxpayers to stop subsidizing this child-butchering, child-corrupting, political lobbying giant. That is one of the reasons Americans gave Republicans overwhelming majorities across America. Watch the video here.  

Source: SovereignKingChurch.com By Pastor Joseph Spurgeon I really don’t know what I expected when I decided to attend the opening hearing of the federal court trial, EMW & Planned Parenthood vs the Bevin Administration. I mean I didn’t exactly expect to hear a full-throated defense of the preborn or an argument as to why abortion is murder. And it’s a good thing I wasn’t expecting that because what I just saw was a disgusting time of making sure the air around the bush was thoroughly beaten. If we want to see the preborn treated with equity, stop their bloodshed, and remove the stain of blood-guiltiness from Kentucky, this court case and the arguments made from the Bevin’s administration will not even come close. Instead, what I witnessed today was a wicked display of futility and cowardly caving to a tyrannical court. Before going into much more detail of what I saw in court this morning, let me go back and explain what the hearing was about. Back in March of th

Posted at Wintery Knight : Miriam Grossman is a psychiatrist at UCLA who helps the students there. She’s written two books on sex and college students, and I’ve gotten both of them. Here’s an article from the Public Discourse authored by her. First, she explains that sex education today is not about biology, it’s about advocacy: Now we have comprehensive sexuality education. It includes discussion of identity, gender, reproductive rights, and discrimination. Children learn that they’re sexual from birth, and that the proper time for sexual activity is when they feel ready. They’re taught that they have rights to pleasure, birth control, and abortion.  The terms husband and wife aren’t used, the union of man and woman is one of several options, and morality? Well, that’s judging, and judging is not allowed.  You won’t find much biology in sexuality education, but there’s voluminous information on the varieties of sexual expression, the pros and cons of different contracepti
