Living Under a Rock

By Seth -
Geico has a history for clever marketing. One of their commercials, for example, shows what it really would look like to "live under a rock."

While having zero knowledge of the savings Geico offers could qualify for one living under a rock these days, another example would be to have heard nothing of Lila Rose, Live Action, and the many investigations into Planned Parenthood.

I can imagine the commercial now.

"Planned Parenthood covers up statutory rape and sex trafficking of minors."

"No way! I didn't know that."

"What, have you been living under a rock?"

Instead of a neolithic-looking man crawling out from under the rock, though, it would be Nancy Pelosi and President Obama blinking their eyes as they wipe off the dust from blissful hibernation.

Something else which has been hard to miss is the PR campaign mounted by Planned Parenthood to combat the efforts of Live Action. While in Florida for the Genocide Awareness Project, I chatted with a PP intern who was taking part in a counter-protest of our pro-life display. Her broken-record motto was, "Abortions are only a tiny part of what PP does. They provide so many other valuable services."

Oh. Do they?

Watch this newly released video.





I wonder how many people they can force to fall asleep under their monolith of deception.

Meet a Baby Saved

In the middle of high school, I began to spend Thursdays throughout summer on Webster Street in Fort Wayne, IN. Good friend and stalwart defender of life Pam Durdahl called Thursday “the best and worst day of the week.” It was the best because you were with like-minded people—indeed, this is where I met Aubrie! But, what brought us all together is why it was the worst: This was the day each week when Ulrich Klopfer would come to town to kill babies. Details continue to be released in the horrific discovery this month that Klopfer stored babies’ bodies in the garage at his Illinois residence. But one note which grabbed my attention is that these babies died in the years of 2000-2002, the latter half of my high school days. All of these babies came from Indiana. And now we know some of them died in Fort Wayne, meaning while I was on that sidewalk, Klopfer was killing babies and taking them home. It seems it was not enough for him to violate the victims once. I didn’t know the...

Deeper than Shared Conviction

If you were to stumble into the Created Equal training center this summer, you would find an interesting sight: an Ivy League graduate seated next to a high school senior, a vegan student enjoying a salad next to another savoring a hamburger, and hands shooting into the air or sudden applause as all passionately defend their position on a range of philosophical matters. This eclectic scene is Created Equal’s internship. At the beginning of the summer, our latest band of interns arrived with the usual awkwardness felt at the beginning of a school term. But what has united them over the past couple of months is far greater than the happenstance of selecting the same college course. Indeed it is deeper than shared conviction. Over the past two months, they’ve celebrated victories both intimate and public—from hearing a mother outside Planned Parenthood say she has changed her mind to watching the Ohio Senate pass the Dismemberment Abortion Ban. They’ve grappled in our classroom...

Out of Focus?

By Seth -
The Columbus Dispatch today ran a story about the Personhood initiative's arrival in the land of the Buckeyes. The article also referenced other recent Ohio efforts against abortion, such as the Heartbeat Bill . What leaped off of my screen, though, was the first comment following the piece: It's unfortunate with 9% unemployment, children and adults starving in the street, people losing their homes, crime rates increasing, and corporations buying our politicians, these people are fighting to make abortion illegal. We have freedom of religion in this country, but they want to impose their religious ideology on us, in this secular nation. People can't find jobs, and children go without food. The most important thing on their mind is making abortion illegal. Jesus would be appalled at these people. Don't believe me? Read the Holy Bible. Jesus never spoke about abortion. But he did speak a lot about helping the poor and the homeless. - Toni Goodman Here's an experim...
