Femminist Nuns Support UN Abortion Treaties.

July 28, 2007 · 4 Comments

This interesting research was sent to me from Fionait Stradag of HLI. She has been researching the activities of religious involved with the UN. I will print her report in full.

Sisters of Death:
Feminist Nuns Promoting Abortion and Legalized Prostitution
By Fionnait Sradag


UNANIMA International, The LCWR; most people have probably never heard of these organizations, and certainly would never guess that they were founded by women who claim to be Catholic nuns.

UNANIMA International, which boasts fifteen well known religious orders as official members, promotes United Nations Pro-Abortion Conventions such as CEDAW, which mandates the legalization of abortion on demand, as well as prostitution and homosexual marriage. During my investigations of the orders that are members of UNANIMA, I found sisters concerned about Global Warming, “promoting” women, (Whatever that means!) and working for nuclear disarmament, freeing the terrorists held at Guantanimo, ending torture, ect. But not one word about ending abortion, which brutally tortures 4000 American children to death daily. (Not to mention all the millions murdered world wide through abortion and contraception.) Nor is there a single word, in all their talk about “promoting women” about helping those women who have been physically and emotionally maimed by abortion and contraception. A sister I wrote to from the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, (A member order of UNANIMA) would not even clearly condemn the gruesome trade in baby body parts, sold for research purposes and cosmetic injections— for rich women of course, who are promised a more attractive backside if they’ll pay several thousand dollars to get baby parts puree injected into it.
The LCWR (Leadership Conference Women Religious) encourages feminist ideologies in American’s Catholic congregations of women religious.
The Keynote speeches from the LCWR website are dripping with feminist terminology and obvious hatred of men, Catholic teaching, and disdain for those sisters who still wear religious habits. (Habits, in one keynote speech by Joan D. Chittister, OSB, are referred to scornfully as “uniforms”.) Sr. Joan decries those who long for the days when nuns looked and acted like nuns instead of secular social workers. But it’s not just the outward elements of religious life she disapproves of. The religious vow of Holy Obedience, is called “childish obedience” in her address. Some other gems gleaned from her speech include “Feminism challenged white male supremacy and even the white male god.” “If we proclaim ourselves to be ecclesial women we must ask if what we mean by that is we will do what the men of the church tell us to do or that we will do what the people of the church need us to do.” And words to the effect that Feminism challenges “a spirituality patriarchal in origin.” (“Spirituality” meaning the Catholic Church.) Contraception is mentioned, but not condemned, in her talk.
These orders are in desperate need of reform. And I mean a real, hard core, St. Teresa of Avila style reform.
The feminist sisters need to change their ways or quit calling themselves Catholic nuns.

Homosexual Groups Flood UN. They Plan To Target The Countries That Resist Homosexuality.

July 27, 2007 · 1 Comment

The Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute reports that homosexual NGOs have bombarded the UN with applications for recognition in an attempt to overwhelm countries which have resisted “homosexual rights”. In particular they will target the countries which voted against them being accepted in the UN.

 Samantha Singsons full report can be seen here (click here)

The whole process was mired with underhand dealings. (What a surprise). Of particular concern is the following information:

The International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA), an NGO that was stripped of its ECOSOC status because of ties to pedophilia and whose repeated attempts to regain ECOSOC status have been denied, launched an international campaign in 2006 to encourage all of its 550 affiliate organizations to submit NGO applications for UN consultative status. Many have applied and been accepted.

May God forgive  them for they know not what they do.

Sleight of Hand. How to Change the Abortion Law Without Touching the Law

July 27, 2007 · 1 Comment

The following article is taken from The Hibernian. (Click Here)

There is in place a grave attempt to liberalize the law on abortion in the Six Counties.

Draft Guidelines on the Termination of Pregnancy in Northern Ireland, which are yet to be implemented by the Department of Health, will have the effect of making the North more abortion friendly than Britain and many other countries. The guidelines were put together as a result of a case brought by the Family Planning Association (fpa(NI)) who insisted that the law was “unclear” and that the Department had a duty to “clarify” the law on abortion.

The Department having defended the action in court, now however seem to have embraced with gusto the opportunity of expanding abortion practice that the introduction of guidelines offer. Initially the Department, acting under the British Labour Minister wanted to have the guidelines dealt with before the new Assembly was in situ. However the confidential consultation was made public by Pro Life groups like Precious Life. Eventually the Department accepted that the final verdict on the guidelines would have to be put back until the new Assembly Minister for Health, Michael McGimpsey, was in post.

The supporters of the guidelines, the pro abortion lobby, keep stating that the Guidelines are not going to change the law and thereby refute claims by Precious Life that these guidelines will effectively mean abortion on demand in the Six Counties. However you do not have to change the law to liberalise the interpretation of the law and the way in which certain practices are undertaken, in this case abortions.

The Legal Position in the Six Counties.
The law surrounding abortion is simply that abortion is criminal offence in Northern Ireland, called either Child Destruction or Illegal Abortion, which caries the penalty of life imprisonment. It is worth stating the one defence to the above crimes; The accused will not be guilty if “..it is proved that the act which caused the death of the child was not done in good faith for the purpose only of preserving the life of the mother.”

This seems straightforward and is indeed the present position. However a case came before the English courts called R v Bourne 1938 in which a judge stated that the defence of “preserving the life of the mother” in the Criminal Justice Act could be extended to mean “health or mental state” of the mother introduced the first seeds of doubt surrounding the law. Ever since this case, which incidentally has never been tested in a higher court and could be overturned, the pro abortionists have been pressing to widen the defence to abortion more and more.

Recently the concept has arisen that if a woman says she is suicidal because she is pregnant then a doctor who aborts her baby may be covered by the defence. It is doubtful that the legislators in 1861 had this in mind when they drafted the defence especially considering suicide was illegal until 1961.

Many lawyers think that Bourne is a weak judgement based on a misunderstanding by the judge of the real meaning of the defence. Certainly we should not be assuming, as the liberals would have us think, that the position set out by Bourne is set in stone. Quite the opposite, it is very vulnerable and a test case against an abortionist here could signal the end to all abortion practice in the Six Counties.

Making a sows ear out of a silk purse
As can be seen from a look at the law there is a very strict legal position in the Six Counties. Indeed it’s a position we could be very pleased with if it were not for the constant attempts by the Pro Abortionists assisted by the media to twist the facts and try to portray a backward confused society. The Liberals are indeed ashamed of the Catholic ethos which pervades this Island. Having failed to get the British Abortion Act in through the Stormont Assembly in 2000 and having no chance of changing the hearts and minds of the pro life majority, the Pro Abortionists pursued a different method, which had been ongoing for some time, to achieve their ends.

A strategy described by feminist academics sought to make use of the courts to tease out the appropriate decisions from the judges. Whatever those decisions were the Pro Abortionists would pick the bits which suited them and ignore the “bad bits”.

Ruth Fletcher from the University of Keele, Department of Law writes about the Northern Ireland Family Planning case in the Feminist Legal Studies Journal 2005. In the summary of her work she states:

“ ……. pro-choice strategic litigation needs to positively and generally assert women’s reproductive rights at the same time as it seeks to accommodate the needs of the most vulnerable.”

In our own Universities the pro abortionist movement is hard at work. Dr Eileen Fegan and Rachel Rebouche of the Law School, Queen’s University Belfast state in the commentary of a conference held at Queens in 2001 on Abortion Law in Ireland:

“We will not suggest practical solutions but pose questions in the hope of teasing out a more cohesive pro-choice strategy. We will focus first on the implications of the current fpaNI challenge and then consider the issues and dialogue regarding reproductive health care …..”

“The decision to challenge Northern Ireland abortion law through the courts, beginning earlier this year, mirrors the successful use of legal strategies (litigation) in other jurisdictions. In USA and Canada prohibitive abortion laws were struck down through contesting their application in specific cases.”

It is also important to recognise that the fpaNI challenge implicitly forces the courts to clarify when terminations actually are legal in Northern Ireland – and where might they look for guidance but to the 1967 Act? It therefore has the potential to usher in or further the case for extension of Act to Northern Ireland, although this is not its specific aim”.

The truth about what to expect if the Draft Guidelines are put in place
As we can see there is a concerted effort and a plan afoot to attack our pro life country. This will have ramifications for the whole of Ireland. Once a country accepts an ethos like abortion it swiftly starts to move downhill in all its morality. After all if you are capable of killing a child what can you not do? Look at Catholic Spain for an example of how this has happened, watch Portugal and Mexico for a similar increase in moral horror.

As an example, by no means exhaustive, of the depths these proposed guidelines on abortion plummet there is provision that underage girls may be forced to have an abortion against their will: “….. the circumstances in which it may be appropriate to apply to the court to over-ride the refusal of consent by a young person. ……..”(section 2.13 of Guidelines) There is no legal authority for forced abortion in this country. Clearly the guidelines seem to be seeking to introduce this practice. Because this section specifically states that their will is “over ridden” then it is clear they have made a deliberate decision NOT to abort their child. This provision also extends by implication to mentally incapacitated women.

The following is an example of what might occur. A 17 year old girl in care is pregnant . She does not want an abortion. It is decided that she should have and abortion for health/mental reasons. She is in late pregnancy. These guidelines suggest that her refusal of consent may be over ridden. The guidelines also imply that the courts may be applied to for this. (The inverse of the recent D case in Dublin)

What country could hold its head up in the face of such barbarity?

The proponents of these guidelines may suggest that this provision is only meant for mentally incapacitated girls in extreme circumstances. But this is NOT what the guidelines say. Further, any forced abortion is illegal, so why are the guidelines suggesting this practice?

People may think that late term abortion is not possible. Yet there is nothing to limit abortions to below a certain term as such limitations only exist in the British Abortion Act. (24 weeks). In the appendix of the proposed guidelines there is a requirement that a doctor should be able to perform an abortion in each trimester. It is anticipated that the pro abortion lobby will seize upon this anomaly to bring in the British Abortion Act as a “kinder”
option.

Welcome to Ireland: Abortion HQ
The guidelines will mean that we have the potential, particularly by exaggerating the suicide aspect, to become the most liberal aborters in the UK and Ireland. The liberal press are already heralding the fact that all Irish women will soon be able to travel to Belfast instead of England. In fact English women will be travelling here also. Supporters of the guidelines will say this is scaremongering. However a scandal has been uncovered in England whereby English doctors have been referring women to Spain for late term abortions. If they will go to Spain they will surely come here.

An example would be an English woman carrying a healthy child decides in late pregnancy that she does not want her baby. She cannot abort in England as abortion to full term extends only to foetal abnormality. She hears that if she is suicidal at the prospect of giving birth she may have an abortion to full term in Northern Ireland. She gets a plane to Belfast.

No publicity is good publicity when it comes to abortion.
Put boldly, the whole point of the proposed guidelines is to “advertise” the exception to the criminal law against abortion and press the concept that the threat of suicide will be, as a matter of course, included in the grounds for relying on the defence.

The reason this is not already happening is because people aren’t being briefed in this “get out clause.” Also as the situation stands a doctor or nurse can act according to their own professional judgement and conscience. There is nothing requiring them to refer or commit abortions at the moment. Under the proposed guidelines medical staff are seriously threatened if they refuse to go along with the recommendations regarding abortions. Doctors and midwives, the majority of whom are pro life, fear they will be vilified if they refuse to abide by the guidelines. All staff are required to channel women requiring abortions in the “right” direction.

The effect on ordinary women of these Guidelines.
Because of the huge onus put on doctors to accept the abortion culture in these guidelines many good doctors will be forced out of practice. Many, as in England, will not go into the field of Gynaecology and Obstetrics. Ordinary women will have to run the gauntlet of doctors and nurses who think their baby is little more than a blob of cells. They may even have been committing abortions hours before treating them or delivering their children.

Ordinary women will be inundated with the pro abortion philosophy. They will be encouraged to test and scan their pregnancies more and more. They will be asked if they wish to consider abortion. An idea which would be foul to most women. They will feel let down and vulnerable. They will feel that they have no power over the situation and that no one cares for their child. There will be an environment of fear and mistrust. Nurses and midwives will also leave the profession due to these changes and the work load expected of those who stay on. One only needs to look at the maternity services in England to see where a culture of death leaves pregnant women and their babies.

The Future: How to change the law after all
The supporters of these guidelines will deny the extremes and fluff over the gross legal misrepresentations. They will try to pretend that a few changes are all that are required to deal with the shortfalls arising from the consultation process.

When the guidelines are in place the feminist lobby and the abortion doctors will finally admit the examples given above as being problematic.

They will then suggest that the introduction of the British Abortion Act will be the answer, and how could we refuse, they will say, do we really want to continue with full term abortions etc…?
The reason they will still want the Abortion Act is because it will set in statute the right to abortions. Currently, under these guidelines, they will be relying on a grossly over exaggerated common law defence to the crimes of abortion. They know that if there is a successful prosecution they could see the Bourne Case overturned and the Six Counties would be returned to a place where abortion is literally non existent.

What to do. Standing behind Saint Michael
Pray the Rosary. Our most powerful weapon and no doubt that which has kept many Irish babies safe for generations. Contact your local politicians and voice your objections to these guidelines. Don’t be fobbed off, they may not yet understand how terrible they are. 50,000 people have already signed a petition presented to the Department of Health by Precious Life, contact Precious Life if you want to help. Write to your papers, phone radio stations. Make sure that Mother Ireland is not left weeping for her children and that we did nothing but stand and watch. These babies will be your children and your children’s children, may you live to see them, as the old Catholic Marriage Rite goes, but also, may they live to see you.

Woman Tried To Kill Unborn Baby Twice. Baby “Clung on to Life”

July 26, 2007 · 2 Comments

A woman in America finally decided to keep her unborn baby after trying, twice, to abort the child. The experience totally changed her view on abortion and the child, amazingly, seems to be unharmed by the assaults upon its tiny body.

The story is at Family and Life (click here)

As well as realising that the tiny life inside her was her own child and human, the woman also had an insight into the reality of abortion. She herself is rich and already has children, when she went to the clinic she noted:

“What I saw at that private clinic also totally shocked me. I expected to see young girls on their own waiting in the abortion clinic. Instead it was like a cattle market – full of women of all ages – many with their husbands and partners encouraging them to go through with it.”

So much for the hard cases!

Abortion is murder, a child is a child.

A child is not poverty or rape or abuse or a social bore.

Father Malachi Martin poses the question of what are women who abort their children going to say to Our Lady when they meet her? When she says, “you murdered the child in your own womb, and here they are, your children”. What will you say? Where could you hide for shame, what part of hell would be deep enough?

Poor Children Do Not Deserve Saturdays According To Liberals.

July 17, 2007 · 1 Comment

You remember Friday afternoons when you were a child, the elation of knowing that the next day was SATURDAY the absolute BEST day! 3 O’Clock came and you would literally leap home from school (in the days when you were allowed to leave school before midnight), run in to Mum, (in the days when you were allowed to have a Mum who could stay at home and look after you), get a snack and dump the schoolbags, then run straight out into the street to play, play, play (in the days when you were allowed to play out). Remember that fantastic feeling that you would not have to think about going to school untill at least Sunday night when last minute homework was completed and you finally gave up kidding yourself it was still the weekend.

How could you forget being a child, when these little pleasures of life were the stuff of great happiness. The smell of toast, Mummy, the thought of holidays, Daddy laughing, SATURDAY!

Well a stupid little body of faceless bores has just announced that they want to BAN poor kids from having Saturday altogether. CentreForum, which is described as being a “Liberal think tank” ( the jury is out on whether Liberals can actually think, or feel or do anything human) has come up with the idea that basically because some schools are so bloody awfull that none of the children who go there actually get an education the best thing to do would be to send the children into these schools more often!

The Daily Telegraph (17th July) reported that “poor kids” would be forced to go into school on a Saturday and even during the holidays (click here). Of course it will only be poor kids who are affected by this,  poor kids who are already suffering due to inadequate schooling are to be singled out as idiots and deprived of what may be the only thing left in todays society for children to enjoy. Because the state fails to provide proper schooling for poor children, (this is the state which insists on sticking its nose into everything and believing it can do it best) the answer is to punish those children by making then go to school on a Saturday.

But here’s the bit that will really take you to the fair, the schools where the children are being failed will get paid more money for being useless! Under the “think tank” scheme the “educators” of the poor children will get monetory hand outs to keep the silly rascals who can’t read and write locked up for another day. But wait, it gets better, this money is to be enough to have schools literally fighting to get poor kids enrolled. This is supposed to solve the problem? A load of rubbish schools scrapping over a handout?

NO, NO, NO! Resist! Surely people cannot be so brain dead that they would let this happen? If the state fails the schools and the schools fail the child then it is the State and the School that should be punished, not the child. The whole thing is upside down. Consider, a child should have Saturdays free to roam and play, to be children, in order for Saturdays to be free the child should have a good education during the week so he truly enjoys his Saturday and is a well rounded person, because he should have a good education there should be good schools for him to attend, because there should be good schools for him to attend our society should ensure that good schools and teachers are in place for him. He is the centre, if the other things fail him then they should go.

Do not crush that little poor child, with his cheeky Saturday face and his bruised kneecaps. Do not crush his simple pleasures at beeing free on a Saturday to be a boy. No, the whole state should stop and reconsider, parliament should put all things on hold, the media should be in UPROAR untill that child is guaranteed the freedom to be a boy on a Saturday.

Crush the dammed “think tank”, crush CentreForum, crush the schools, crush the state but do not crush the child. Do not take his Saturday away, this child, who might not read and write because he has never been taught to. His life will surely be a hard one today. His adulthood marred by the disadvantage of his youth, but now he is oblivious to this hardness, do not force his head down yet and break him. Leave this child alone to his blyth indifference, as short a time as that may be.

There’s a beautifull poem by Whittier written in 1855 when boys were still allowed, it starts ” Blessings on thee, little man, Barefoot boy, with cheek of tan! With thy turned-up pantaloons, And thy merry whistled tunes….” Its a far cry from todays beleaguered children but it still rings true, we still see them, now and then, in glimpses, those “barefoot boys”, resilient and bold, but still just children. Do not punish them because they are poor, rather love them more because of it.

(aknowladgements to Chesterton)

How Harry Potter Ruins Childrens Souls. Poor Daniel Radcliffe.

July 15, 2007 · 3 Comments

On the 20th of July children will be taken from their loving homes, by their parents, at 12 oclock midnight to take place in a satanic ritual. These otherwise normal people have lost all sense when it comes to the phenomenon that is Harry Potter.

However those allowing their children to be subjected to these books should beware. The Pope warned of the danger they present to childrens unformed souls in 2005. In a letter to the auther of “Harry Potter : Good or Evil” the then Cardinal Ratzinger wrote the following:

“Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger                             
Vatican City
March 7, 2003
Esteemed and dear Ms. Kuby!

Many thanks for your kind letter of February 20th and the informative book which you sent me in the same mail.  It is good, that you enlighten people about Harry Potter, because those are subtle seductions, which act unnoticed and by this deeply distort Christianity in the soul, before it can grow properly.

I would like to suggest that you write to Mr. Peter Fleetwood, (Pontifical Council of Culture, Piazza S. Calisto 16, I00153 Rome) directly and to send him your book.

Sincere Greetings and Blessings,

+ Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger”

So why are these books not being banned completely from Catholic schools? Why are children being encouraged in their obsession with this series of devil worship?

In 2006 the Popes chief exorsist said that Harry Potter was “the King of Darkness, the Devil” (click here)

This priest should know!

Further sad proof of the terrible “Potter” effect is the decline of the young star who played Potter, Daniel Radcliffe, into little more than a porn star and a laughing stock.

Radcliffe is now playing a part in the West End onstage where he appears naked before a live audience and simulates a sex act on top of a horse. (Click here for newspaper review)

So growing up from an innocent young boy, whilst playing the part of Harry Potter really damaged this child. He now has a perverted and warped sense of what is normal. Of course all the “luvies” are telling him its great that he has done this, but which parent seriously thinks he is a suitable roll model? Unfortunately for many children they have become used to looking up to Radcliffe, “Harry Potter”, and will continue to do so. The vulger posters accompanying Radcliffes show are already being collected by young girls who were/are Potter fans.

Parents seriously need to avoid letting their innocent children be taken in by the demonic and alluring world of Harry Potter. Of course it seems charming, it would hardly have worked quite so well if Potter had actually appeared as the Devil himself, but it is dangerous.

Let the fate of its main star, poor Daniel Radcliffe be a warning.

Madwife, Breedagh Hughes, Speaks on Behalf of Midwives.

July 14, 2007 · 1 Comment

It is interesting to see that Breedagh Hughes (Breda Hughes), the self confessed illegal abortionist (Click Here) is still considered fit by the Royal College of Midwives to represent them (click here), despite the complaint made to the police regarding her criminal activities. Are the majority of midwives in this country happy about this woman representing them?

I noted also in The Irish News that Hughes was quoted speaking about a recent midwifery event, looking back at the history of the profession over the years. Apart from the fact that many of our past midwives would have been horrified by the likes of Hughes, is the Irish News unaware that the real story concerning this person is that the police are investigating her claims that she has repeatedly broken the law in Northern Ireland and committed abortions on mainly disabled babies, which is an offence punishable with a maximum sentance of life?

I can hardly believe that The Irish News are in the dark about this when, recently in the Republic I picked up a copy of The Irish Family Press to find the story well covered. Censorship? Protecting the abortionists? Shame on you.

Maybe the fact that Hughes is on a committee, appointed by the Department of Health, to draw up Guidelines on Abortion in this country is the reason for the media silence in the North. Wouldn’t do to have a Murdering Madwife (apologies to Crippin) advising us on the legalities of abortion would it. Vera Drake eat your heart out.

This blog would be interested to hear the views of other medical professionals on the above subject. See contact O’Donnell for details.

All those affected by illegal abortion, either personaly or as a witness, should contact the police as with any other criminal offence.

Latin Mass Freed By Rome.

July 7, 2007 · 3 Comments

 Holy Mass

The Pope has issued the long awaited Motu Proprio stating that the faithful have, and always have had, the right to hear the Old Mass.

In the letter from the Holy Father (click here) regarding the freeing of the Old Latin Rite he states:

“As for the use of the 1962 Missal as a Forma extraordinaria of the liturgy of the Mass, I would like to draw attention to the fact that this Missal was never juridically abrogated and, consequently, in principle, was always permitted.”(The Pope)

It should be fairly apparent then that Archbishop Lefebre was right after all. The Archbishop was excommunicated for his refusal to bend with the Vatican II changes, the most serious of these resulted in the so called “New Liturgy”. This ended up completely replacing the Latin Mass, sometimes referred to as the Tridentine Mass, which has been the Mass of All Time.

 The Archbishop refused to say the New Mass (which was incidentally written by 1 Catholic, Archbishop Bugnini (click here), 6 protestant ministers and a Jew). On one occassion the pressure was such on the Archbishop that Rome said to him, if he would only say the New Mass just once then he would be left alone. He would not. He was not left alone but was punished by excommunication for his ordination of Bishops, which he considered necessary at the time to keep the true faith alive.

St Athanasius was an Archbishop of the early church who was also excommunicated for his refusal to go against the true faith. Those familiar with the prophesies of Our Lady at Quito to Mother Mariana de Jesus Torres in the 16th Century will also see what is widely considered to be a reference to Archbishop Lefebre in these writings. The Mother of God refers to a prelate who stands true in the face of great injustice levelled against him and Heaven at some time in the 20th Century.

One of the  Bishops ordained by  Archbishop Lefebre was Bishop Fellay. His response to the Motu Proprio can be seen on CFN (Click here)

The Pope is rumoured to have said some time ago, when a Cardinal, that he regretted the way that Rome had treated the Archbishop over the whole matter of Vatican reforms. After all, as he states in his letter (linked above), if something was right for 2000 years how can it be wrong now?

It is also the case that many priests and religious were not forced to say the New Mass. Saint Padre Pio had no time for it and only ever said the Latin Mass.

In his letter to the faithful Bishop Fellay writes:

The reference to Archbishop Lefebvre and the Society of Saint Pius X made in the accompanying letter(the Popes letter.Ed), as well as the acknowledgment of the testimony given by the young generations which take up the torch of Tradition, clearly point out that our constancy to defend the lex orandi has been taken into account. With God’s help, we must continue the combat for the lex credendi, the combat for the faith, with the same firmness.”(+Bernard Fellay, Superior General)

Those who attend the Latin Mass are in no doubt of its integrity as the Mass of All Time. It is expected that the release of the improper bind which was put on the Latin Mass (effected by the new powers given to Bishops during Vatican II, which meant they were able to dictate which mass was said in their diocese and prevent the Latin Mass if they so wished) will unleash a great deal of grace into the world.

Cardinal O’Brien Appeals To Gordon Brown

July 7, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Cardinal O’Brien has spoken out again regarding abortion and the carnage that is the abortion trade in the UK.

Speaking to The Scotsman (click here) he has appealed to Mr Brown, the new Prime Minister, to act to end the masacre. Cardinal O’Brien is of course right to assert the views of the catholic church, despiste the repeated critisism of beligerent sectarian hecklers. In fact, as we all know, most people do find abortion horiffic, and those who are involved in the bloody industry of murdering the unborn child only get away with it by keeping the facts quiet and lying to the public at every opportunity.

The reaction of junior doctors to the slaughter expected of them is evidence that the reality is beyaond anything that a “normal” human can contemplate.

Cardinal O’Brien is not just right to speak out, it is his DUTY to speak out, as it is the duty of ALL Catholic clergy to rail against the wicked acts of mankind.

It is noticable that whenever a member of the Catholic Church speaks against abortion, such is his power that the pro abortion forces literally go ballistic with rage. It is also noticable that they never argue back by defending their foul obsession but by attacking the Catholic Church itself.

For every foul mouthed rant from an anti Catholic on this issue there are souls that are touched by the truth and ultimately souls that are saved from the abortionists.

In the Cardinals interview, which can be seen in full in The Scotsman, he says:

“A surgeon wrote saying: “I am very pleased to see someone of your influence speaking out about the sorry state of this country whereby thousands of unborn healthy children are destroyed by the NHS and its abortion agencies, and most politicians seem totally unconcerned or ambivalent.” He went on: “I feel powerless to halt the carnage and there is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing little arms and legs being sucked down a glass tube and binned for the sake of someone’s lifestyle.” Little wonder that the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recently highlighted the “growing problem of trainees opting out of training in the termination of pregnancy”. This may be one of many symptoms of a society slowly awakening to the brutal reality of what it means to destroy a sizeable portion of the next generation.”

However I am afraid that the Cardinal may have a long wait if he feels that Mr Brown is the man to help.

Brown has voted in favour of abortion to full term and abortion on demand in his political career, despte being the son of a clergy man.

Brown has also just appointed Lord Lester as one of the two constitutional advisers to assist in the drafting of a new constitution for the UK. Lester is a patron of the Family Planning Association, a group which has its roots in Eugenics and whose founding members were supporters of Hitlers Eugenics program. Of course they wont admit that now, but plenty of  evidence is still there. The Familiy Planning Association  based, at the end of the 1930’s at 69 Eccleston Square, the Head Quarters of the Eugenics Society.

Lester also represented the Family Planning Associations Northern Irish branch in the High Court in Northern Ireland during strategic litigation which was brought to ”clarify” the abortion laws here (Click here). The real result of this “clarification” is the proposed introduction of Guidelines which will introduce abortion to full term effectively on demand. 

As the issue of abortion is strangely “reserved” to Westminster in the cases of the North of Ireland, Scotland and Wales, it doesn’t take a genius to work out the the last thing the British Government wants is to allow the little states of the “UK” their own will on the matter. After all it would put England in a even worse light if these states chose to remain abortion free.

Madeleine McCann Still Missing

July 6, 2007 · 1 Comment

It is now 64 days since little Madeleine was abducted. Since then we have seen portions of  the media stoop to the lowest depths as they analyse the story.

In the Irish News the “writer” Susan McKay took the biscuit for me by suggesting that Mrs McCann was only carrying Madeleines’ favourite toy for effect. I actually felt sick when I read this and have taken care not to buy the Irish News on a Tuesday since. Anyone who has a heart will know that Mrs McCann was obviously carrying the little toy because it was all she had left of her child. It probably smelt of her and brought a crumb of comfort to a woman who was otherwise suffering from the most crushing pain.

It is noticable that the turn in the media came just after the McCanns visited the Pope. Any connection? I don’t know, but it seems to have maddened some people.

All the rubbish about a hierarchy of missing children is utter nonsense. Madeleine McCann is a little girl, she doesn’t know her mother and father are middle class A1’s. Because I don’t know what else to do, and because it is the best thing to do, I have prayed for Madeleine each day that she is not suffering and will be returned to her loving parents and siblings.

Does not every parent do everything they can for the good of their children? Would not every parent go to the ends of the earth if they could? No doubt the same detractors of the McCann family would be equally derisive if they had sat and done nothing. “With all their contacts and money, and look, they dont care to do anything…”

I have seriously worried about what a state we are in when I have heard some of the comments on the McCanns. Are people actually jealous? Do they think it might be worth having their hearts ripped out for a moment on the tv?

What is wrong is the society we live in, not the McCanns. It is NOT wrong to have dinner 100 yards away from where your children are sleeping and being checked upon. It is NOT wrong to do all within your power to find your lost child. What is wrong is someone abducting a sleeping child. What is wrong is attacking the parents of that child.

I can guarantee you one thing, if the McCanns were not white, middle class doctors no one would dare to berate them or call their child ”lucky”. “You know, she might have been abducted, but she’s well up on the hierarchy”. If the journalists who think this really cared so much, where are their articles on all the other children, why dont we hear about them, or is it just to much trouble to write about pain that lasts longer than an episode of Coronation Street?

I whole heartedly agreed with this article when I read it and have added a link to the McCann familys website (click here) where a daily update is given.

God Bless Madelaine McCann and her family.Consoling Angel With Jesus May they know that Our Lord has suffered this pain, and all our pain in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Cops use handcuffs to choke free speech in America.

July 5, 2007 · Leave a Comment

It seems the idea that free speech only applies to Liberals is world wide.

This story is from the USA and is remeniscent of the recent attacks on pro lifers in Ireland (click here) by police and gardai.

The police and DA of York PA are determined to stifle free speech and the right of assembly when it comes to pro-life protesters exercising their First Amendment rights to protest abortion in the vicinity of the York, PA, Planned Parenthood premises. A civil suit has been filed against York, PA, police for their abusive disregard for the law.”

PRO LIFE GROUPS IN IRELAND ATTACKED BY POLICE IN GALWAY AND COLERAINE

July 3, 2007 · 3 Comments

In an amazing coincidence (?) on the same day that Bernadette Smyth was assaulted by police (click here) whilst they were effecting what was an illegal operation, trying to prevent her from displaying Pro Life material in Coleraine, in Galway, a girl was also assaulted in the same manner by Gardai trying to prevent the display of the same type of Pro Life information. (Click here for full story)

Youth Defence were giving out Pro Life information on Saturday the 30th June in Galway when they were told to remove the posters by the police. In an almost identical situation to what happened in Coleraine to Bernie Smyth on the same day, the Pro Life campagners tried to explain to the Garda that they were opperating within the law. They were actually able to produce a letter from the DPP confiming that their activities were legal. However, as in the Smyth case, the Garda ignored the explanations and, in trying to remove the Pro Life info boards, serverely bruised the arm of one of the girls working for Youth Defence.

The Garda in Galway did not go s far as the RUC PSNI in Coleraine, who arrested Mrs Smyth when she said she would be making a complaint about the injury she recieved.

All goes to prove that the Devil works in fairly obvious ways.

Pro-life leader assaulted by police during arrest over Life Display

Pro-life leader assaulted by police during arrest over Life Display

The director of Northern Ireland’s leading pro-life group Precious Life was assaulted by police while being arrested for showing a pro-life display. The incident happened when police seized a display board in Coleraine town centre this afternoon (Saturday June 30). Bernadette Smyth received extensive bruising to her arm and had to undergo an examination by the police doctor. The ‘Life Display’ showed pictures of babies in the womb; information for woman suffering after abortion; and babies killed by abortion.

Members of Precious Life had set up their Life Display and information table in Coleraine at 2.00pm. The group had spent over an hour and a half distributing leaflets and collecting petition signatures when police officers arrived. The officer in charge claimed the pictures were “offensive” and demanded the display be taken down or he would confiscate it. Bernadette Smyth tried to explain that the Public Prosecution Service had ruled on previous occasions that the display was not illegal. The officer would not listen to her appeal. As he aggressively grabbed the display which Mrs Smyth was leaning on, her arm became wedged between the heavy wooden boards, resulting in severe bruising. She was then arrested for ‘provocative conduct’ and thrown it into the back of a police van.

Bernadette Smyth was held in custody for almost two hours, during which she had to be examined by a police doctor. She was released on bail and has since made a formal complaint against the arresting officer.

Alicea Brennan from Precious Life said “This heavy-handed action of the police was utterly disgraceful. Bernadette was assaulted and then arrested for trying to protect mothers and babies from abortion. Some of our pictures show the reality of abortion but it is the fact that little unborn babies are being killed which is truly offensive.”

She added “We are surprised at the bully boy tactics of the police today. We were in Coleraine only last month with the same display board and police took no notice of us. We have been setting up our information table and Life Display in towns across for almost 10 years and generally we have a good working relationship with the police. As recently as 2005 the police sent a file to the Public Prosecutions Service regarding our displays but they ruled that it was not illegal and no action could be taken against showing the pictures of abortion.”

Ms Brennan concluded “Bernadette will not be deterred by the police action today. Precious Life will continue to show the true reality of abortion. We will be out again on the streets of Belfast on Monday with our display. The horror of abortion is the world’s best kept secret and it must be exposed.”

Its strange that the police think that showing the material that this pro life group was apparently displaying is “illegal” in anyway. The case of DPP v Clarke 1992 QBD in England dealt with this issue and found that it was not offensive and not therefore illegal. THe group have been visibly active in Belfast and other towns in the North of Ireland for years. Is there something different about Coleraine? Is it perhaps not really part of the UK!!!
