“Wise Guy” Mary Robinson Joins International “Elders”.

August 24, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Mary Robinson is one of a small group of “Elders” called together by Nelson Mandela as a knd of self proclaimed World Watchdog.

It is not clear what this (extremely) well funded group are aiming to do but their individual pro abotion and pro homosexual views are wel known.

They call themselves “wise men and women”, presumably they think they are wise just because this bunch of reprobates are now old. Already they have been dubbed more lke “wise guys” by Jim Hughes, president of Campaign Life Coalition, Canada and vice-president of International Right to Life.

Robinson, as  UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, gave recognition to The International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA), who were later rejected by the UN for their pedophilia links. Click here for previous post.

Anyone who might be inclined towards sympathy for these aging New Agers only needs to see the photograph below in which they are presented as something out of the Starship Enterprise, no doubt determined to steer us well into space with their crazy ideas.

For the full story go to Lifesite. Click here. (ps. Dont be fooled by the presense of Desmond Tutu, he fulfills the pro abortion and pro homosexual agenda to a tee. Also at the table is Li Zhaoxing, former Minister of  Communist China, great supporter of the forced abortion one child policy in China, refugees of which reside world wide, victims of which litter the bloody land of poor China).

Another Young Woman Suffers The Consequences of Contraception.

From the Irish Independant 15th August 2007

 
  Oral contraceptive Pill caused Irish Woman’s death

An Irish woman has died of deep vein thrombosis after taking an oral contraceptive pill.

Julie Hennessy of Dublin was found dead in her home on 22 March. Pathologist Peter Szontagh-Kishazi said that the cause of death was certainly the Mercilon oral contraceptive pill that Miss Hennessy had just taken. He said: “Clotting is a well-known risk of using the contraceptive pill. There is no other medication that has such a big risk.”

A spokesman for Organon Laboratories, which makes the drug, said yesterday that doctors must consider the risks as well as the benefits of prescribing such drugs.

A member of Miss Hennessy’s family said: “The Pill was the major cause of our daughter’s death and we want to put it on record that other young women should be aware of these dangers. I wouldn’t like this to happen to another family.”

This story ois another sad case of how the contraceptive industry continues to fail womem. Its only interest is generating cash and preventing birth, why let a few deaths get in the way of that.

Irish Medical Council Reviewing Ethical Guidelines. Please Assist This Call For Action.

August 11, 2007 · 1 Comment

There is urgent action required by all pro life supporters. See the end of this article for submission letter.

In the Republic of Ireland the Irish Medical Council has announced its intention to review its ethical guidelines. These guidelines include the Councils view with tegard to abortion. Until 20001 there was a complete ban on abortion in the ethical guidelines. In 2001 the Medical Council was infultrated by the IFPA (Irish Family Planning Association) via a group of pro abortion doctors. The aim was to change the ethical guidelines to alow direct abortion, abortion on suicide grounds and abortion of abnormal children. They suceeded in abolishing the complete ban and introducing the concept of direct abortion where the mothers life or health was at risk.

This was a massive leap and leaves the field open for the extention of that ground to include the suicide aspect and other grounds for direct abortion.

Even though it is illegal in Ireland to abort children and the constitution protects the child from conception, this is an example of how the pro abortion lobby make subtle and deadly moves to get around the democratic wishes of the general public.

  MEDICAL COUNCIL SEEKS SUBMISSIONSIn the months prior to the election, Mary Harney oversaw the most concerted attack on pro-life medical efforts yet seen in this country. Having failed utterly since 1992 to convince the majority of doctors to support abortion, pro-abortion campaigners then targeted the Irish Medical Council. Harney’s Medical Practitioners Act will give her the right to appoint a political majority on the Medical Council and the opportunity to overturn the medical ethics which had, thus far, opposed abortion and embryo research.Dr Seán Ó Domhnaill succeeded in attracting more than 1,200 doctors to the campaign he led against Harney’s plans and he will be part of the legal battle which will fight the matter out in the courts. He also alerted the pro-life movement to another recent threat to pro-life medical ethics – one that requires your urgent response.The Medical Council has advertised for public submissions in advance of a review of its Ethical Guidelines. This is unprecedented and warrants close scrutiny. One of the functions of the Medical Council is to give guidance to the medical profession generally on all matters relating to ethical conduct and behaviour. To date this has been achieved through the periodic publication of A Guide to Ethical Conduct and Behaviour.The Ethical Guidelines.
The contents of the guide may be broadly categorised into professional ethics, business ethics and medical ethics.The Section on Medical Ethics are of greatest interest to pro-lifers, in particular Section 24.2 and Section 24.6 which deal with destructive embryo research and abortion respectively.Section F, Article 24.2 states that: The creation of new forms of life for experimental purposes or the deliberate and intentional destruction of in-vitro human life already formed is professional misconduct.

Before 2001, the Irish Medical Council (IMC) exercised a complete ban on abortion. In 2001 the IMC changed its ethical stance in a move that The Lancet called a ‘subtle shift’.

The ethical guidelines used to state:
’The deliberate and intentional destruction of the unborn child is professional misconduct. Should a child in utero lose its life as a side-effect of standard medical treatment of the mother, then this is not unethical. Refusal by a doctor to treat a woman with a serious illness because she is pregnant would be grounds for complaint and could be considered to be professional misconduct.’

The new wording in 2001 completely replaced this and uses the phrase that termination of pregnancy can occur where there is a ‘real and substantive risk to the life of the mother.’ (s.24.6 IMC Guide to Ethical Conduct and Behaviour)

Seven doctors staged a protest by walking out of the meeting of the Medical Council when these changes were made, as they foresaw the potential abuses. The difference, which while subtle is quite deadly, is that previously a doctor could never directly abort a child – that is, directly and intentionally kill the child – he was only allowed to treat the mother. Now the direct abortion of the child is countenanced.

The IMC has recently announced it will be reviewing its guidelines again. There is a real danger that this will be used by the pro-abortion lobby, with the assistance of Mary Harney, to introduce abortion-friendly guidelines.

The public has until 7 September to voice its opinion to the IMC. Please make sure that you make your opinion clear to the Medical Council. This is a matter of absolute urgency.
To assist you in making this urgent and crucially important submission TODAY we have included in this article a draft letter to guide you. We urge you to use this guide to write to the Medical Council TODAY. (Please see the sample submission in the next news story)

As always the Council have given very little time to pro-life people and the public to respond. The Mother & Child Campaign are working nonstop to send this information to as many people as possible. Please pray for our efforts.

Dear Sir/Madam,In relation to your invitation for submissions in regard to the Medical Council’s Ethical Guidelines I would like to make the following points:1. The Hippocratic Oath requires medical practitioners to “Do No Harm”. I would urge the Council to bear that in mind in all its deliberations.2. In regard to Section 24.6 of the current Ethical Guidelines dealing with the child in utero, I believe the Guidelines should absolutely oppose abortion and I would like to see the guideline amended to read:

The deliberate and intentional destruction of the unborn child is professional misconduct. Should a child in utero lose its life as a side-effect of standard medical treatment of the mother, then this is not unethical. Refusal by a doctor to treat a woman with a serious illness because she is pregnant would be grounds for complaint and could be considered to be professional misconduct.

3. In regard to Section 24.2 of the current Ethical Guidelines I would like to see the protection of the human embryo retained and the section left entirely unchanged.

Yours sincerely,

Niamh Uí Bhriain

Planned Parenthood Advocate the “Elimination” of Pro Lifers by Violence.

August 7, 2007 · Leave a Comment

In a sick little cartoon that Planned Parenthood in America have produced the “Superhero” blows up peacefull pro life protesters (who by the way are made to look like freaks). The video is such a nasty piece of work that it really is advisable for children NOT to see it even tough it starts off looking like a cartoon and is obviously aimed at kids.

 Planned Parenthood is desparate enough to produce such tripe as this video advocating violence, but then whats new, they have been perpetrating violence on the unborn for years now. 400 million people a year worlwide die due to the abortion trade.

The video was so bad that Planned Parentood actually removed it from its web site and is now refusing to talk about it.

You can see more about the story and view the video if you Click Here. Again I would say, dont let your children see this.

Also there is a good story about this at Dawn Patrol (Click Here).

How Planned Parenthood Collude in the Abuse of Minors.

August 7, 2007 · Leave a Comment

An undercover report in America has exposed the tactics used by Planned Parenthood to cover up the abuse of minors whilst referring the minors for abortions.

Paedophiles everywhere must love the help they get from the International Planned Parenthood Federation, to whom our own dear fpa(NI) and IPFA and the English FPA and are affiliated. I wonder if they all use the same tactics when dealing with minor abuse.

In the clip pasted below you hear a girl posing as a minor (13 years old) saying that she wants an abortion and that her boyfriend is 22. This is Statutory rape in  parts of America. (In the North and South of Ireland if the girl is under 17 this would be statutory rape.) Instead of reporting the matter to the police which the Planned Parenthood clinics are obliged to do the advise given to the underage girl is to either lie about her boyfriends age or even about her own age in some cases.

A sample of this reporters fingings can be found by Clicking Here.

Its a good example of the lies that perpetrate for these promoters of abortion and shows how little they care for the women and girls they pretend to be “helping”.

‘Irish Times’ Poll Shows Majority in Favour of Protecting the Life of the Unborn

August 2, 2007 · Leave a Comment

In Head to Head poll run over the last couple of weeks the readers of the Irish Times voted 62% to 38% abainst changing the law in Ireland to accomodate abortion. (click here for Family and Life Report) This is all the more interesting when you understand that the Irish Times is a liberal paper, and presumably its readers have a more progresive view than most. So a poll of this nature is very interesting to the pro life movement and gives lie to the idea that Ireland is ready for some kind of change in the law.

In the last month there have been two rallies is Dublin over abortion. One was run by the pro abortion “movement” and despite radio, tv and newspaper coverage a grand total of 60 people turned out! Later the same month there was a pro life rally run by a number of large pro life groups. This recieved NO media coverage before or after (with the honourable exception of the Irish Family Press and Catholic papers). Thousands attended this rally and it was a great sucess.

Long live Catholic Ireland!

Pro Abortion Rock Group Shameless in its Use of Pro Life Sentiments to Sell Records.

August 2, 2007 · Leave a Comment

The Canadian group Mes Aieux have lambasted Lifesite, a pro life news agency for interpreting  song lyrics in a hit single as showing that the pro abortion culture leads to misery.

See what you think from these extracts:

“Your great great grandmother, she had 14 kids,” whereas in today’s life-demeaning culture, “Your mom didn’t want any, you were an accident.”

 ”Now you, my little lady, change partners all the time, / When you screw up you save yourself by aborting, / But there are mornings when you awake crying, / When you dream in the night of a large table surrounded by little ones.”

The song was immensly popular in Canada, no doubt due to the heartfelt emotions such as the ones above. But now the group are attacking Lifesite for an article it printed (click here) wherein it commented on the lyrics and saw them in a pro life manner.

The group say that Lifesite “hijacked” their song to use for the pro life cause, more true is the fact that this group, who have made it clear now that they are in fact pro abortion, hijacked the pro life and Catholic culture to sell their records. After all, how well would a record sell if it was about how great abortion was?  

The original article by Elizabet OBrien of lifesite (Click here) never actually suggested that the group or the song was pro life, it only gave an opinion on the song and the cultural heritage of Quebec.

“The song title is a play on words that signifies not only the passing of generations, but the moral degeneration as well. Since the 1960’s, Quebec has been steadily moving away from its Catholic heritage, and the province’s birthrate is now one of the lowest in the Western world. As a consequence Quebec is predicted to experience a 50% decline in the real growth rate of its GDP within the next decade” Elizabeth OBrien.

However it seems that the group Mes Aieux were so ashamed amongst their pro abortion rock friends to have even been mentioned by a pro life news site they went completely mad and got their lawyers involved. Wow. I wonder if they would have even been this mad if NME had given them a bad review!

So what can we deduce from Mes Aieux and the true interpretation of their song in the light of their protest?

“there are mornings when you wake up crying, when you dream in the night of a large table surrounded by little ones”.

If they are not expressing pro life sentiments here is this a statement a rebuke, or is it mocking the sorrow of women today?

The song seems to say “go back to the land, go back to the large family, the simple life”, if it is not saying this then what?

Are we a laughing stock for this band? Was it just an “in joke” for them?
