The LGBT Movement Wants Alot MORE

Future of the LGBT Movement

Defeat “anti-LGBT” bills, change school policies and curriculum, amend the Civil Rights Act, (bring about) lawsuits, and new federal legislation.

Big business is helping carry the water for the policy goals of Human Rights Campaign and other LGBT advocacy organizations that are leading a dangerous assault on religious liberty on multiple fronts. The alliance between the Human Rights Campaign and its corporate sponsors like Target and Bank of America is a principle driver of the LGBT political movement. Full Article at Dailysignal.com

We have got to do so much more around ensuring that LGBT children and young people are fully included, integrated, and celebrated in every aspect of life—in their families, and schools, and communities, and faith communities. If we really do that, then we can break the cycle of harm that has caused so many of us to have a lot of trauma and problems as adults.

After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on same-sex marriage, many people of faith concluded they needed laws to protect their conscience rights so that they can run businesses, adoption agencies, and charity organizations in accord with their deeply held religious beliefs. “Religion is not the reason people are bigots,” he said. “It’s the excuse.”

To defeat their opponents, LGBT groups plan to go state by state to strike down religious freedom measures and, instead, implement their own laws on sexual orientation and gender identity.  They said they intend to do this until new federal law or court decisions negate that necessity.

Libertarian Gary Johnson Won’t Protect Preborn Babies

Libertarian Candidate Gary Johnson

He doesn’t particularly seem to care that babies’ liberty has eroded to the point where they can be legally killed for any reason before even leaving the womb. Full article at Lifesitenews.com

Libertarian presidential nominee and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson rails against the “steady erosion” of “personal freedom in this country,” “a nation that was literally founded on the notion of liberty.” But as Live Action’s Adam Peters details, he doesn’t particularly seem to care that babies’ liberty has eroded to the point where they can be legally killed for any reason before even leaving the womb.

This week, the Washington Examiner’s Timothy Carney interviewed Johnson at the Democrat National Convention. Johnson shared his views on abortion and said he wouldn’t protect pro-life Americans’ conscience rights.

Removing the Fear of Downs Syndrome

New TV series Born This Way

The biggest factor that drives prejudice is fear, and fear is driven by not knowing. The great thing about ‘Born This Way‘ is now the world knows seven adults — and soon they’ll know three more — that have Down syndrome, and they never knew them before. Complete story at ChristianPost.com

Navigating this world as a young adult can be brutal. For example, the dating scene can be a minefield of drama and emotion. This is a part of life experienced by most everyone—including young adults with Down syndrome.  They deal with the same issues as everyone else. If this surprises you, it shouldn’t.
And it won’t if you join a rapidly growing number of viewers discovering a new television series that lets you see why those with Down syndrome are just like you and me in most ways. It’s becoming hugely popular. Full story at Lifeissues.org
The A&E Network is in its second season of production of the new TV series Born This Way. It takes you into the lives of a handful of young adults who happen to have Down syndrome (DS). And it’s opening the eyes, minds and hearts of viewers to the reality that people with DS can and should be mainstreamed into everyday society.
The popularity of the programs is a good sign in our society because currently 67% of unborn babies diagnosed with DS are aborted. This is especially tragic because, as Born This Way clearly demonstrates, individuals with Down syndrome (or “Up” syndrome as Steven likes to say) are a blessing and joy to be around.

NOM Vowed to End Her Political Career

Missouri Republican Anne Zerr

“Anne Zerr betrayed her constituents and the people of Missouri when she sided with LGBT extremists to defeat SJR 39, which would have given voters the right to protect supporters of marriage from discrimination by governmental entities,” said Brian Brown, NOM president. National Organization for Marriage Press Release

NOM delivered last night when Zerr was defeated in the GOP primary for state Senate. Zerr joins a long list of Republicans who have ended their political careers by voting against the interests of people who support marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

“When four Republican Senators in New York voted for gay ‘marriage,’ we ended their careers,” Brown said. “When Republican candidates for US Senate in New Hampshire, California and Oregon came out in favor of redefining marriage, we defeated them and ended their careers. When Supreme Court judges redefined marriage in Iowa, we removed them from office. When GOP candidates for Congress in California and Massachusetts endorsed gay ‘marriage’ we defeated them. And now we have defeated Anne Zerr over her vote to subject supporters of marriage to punitive governmental actions simply for not wanting to be involved in gay ‘marriage.’ We urge Republican officials in Missouri and elsewhere to pay attention to this pattern. If you vote with LGBT activists against those who support marriage, you do so at the risk of your political career.”

Oakland & Los Angeles Threaten Pro Life Pregnancy Centers

Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer

Two of the most crime-ridden places in the state of California, threaten legal action against pro-life pregnancy help organizations if they fail to comply with a new state regulation “Reproductive FACT Act”. Full Article at Pregnancy Help News

This new regulation “Reproductive FACT Act” requires nonprofit pregnancy help centers to advertise the availability of government abortion services by posting a public notice: “California has public programs that provide immediate free or low-cost access to comprehensive family planning services (including all FDA-approved methods of contraception), prenatal care, and abortion for eligible women. To determine whether you qualify, contact the county social services office at [insert the telephone number].”

The so-called “Reproductive FACT Act” was challenged in court with a lawsuit June 14 that pitted the state against counsel representing locally based pregnancy help organizations and their representatives from Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), Pacific Justice Institute and American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ).

“The First Amendment protects all Americans, including pro-life people, from being targeted by a government conspiring with pro-abortion activists,” Matt Bowman, Senior Counsel for ADF, said. “The state has no legal right to force others to communicate messages or promote ideas they disagree with, especially on life-and-death issues like abortion. A government that does that threatens everyone’s freedom of speech.

Pope Francis To Youth: Don’t Settle for Couch Potato Life

“The times we live in do not call for young ‘couch potatoes’ but for young people with shoes, or better, boots laced. It only takes players on the first string, and it has no room for bench-warmers,” Pope Francis said. Full Article Inés San Martín Vatican Correspondent July 30, 2016 cruxnow.com

His Holiness Pope Francis


His Holiness Pope Francis

Talking to young people on Saturday night in Krakow, Poland, where they’ve been participating in a week-long rally called World Youth Day, Francis warned them against the “sofa-happiness,” calling it the most “harmful and insidious form of paralysis.” A sofa, he said, that “makes us feel comfortable, calm, safe,” away from any kind of pain or fear, spending hours playing video games or in front of a computer screen.

He said it’s a dangerous paralysis because as “we start to nod off” other people, “more alert” but “not necessarily better, decide our future for us.” For many people, Francis warned, it’s better to have drowsy, tone-deaf and dull kids who confuse happiness with a sofa.

“For many people, that is more convenient than having young people who are alert and searching, trying to respond to God’s dream and to all the restlessness present in the human heart,” the pope said, adding that they hadn’t come into this world to “vegetate, to take it easy” but to “leave a mark.”

“But when we opt for ease and convenience, for confusing happiness with consumption, then we end up paying a high price indeed: we lose our freedom,” Francis said. Following Jesus, the pope continued, demands courage and a readiness to change the couch for walking shoes.

The week I left the Democratic Party

Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus

We pro-life citizens are an unwelcome group among the Dems. Like many pro-life Democrats, I had been dispirited by the inclusion in the 2016 Democratic Party Platform of the repeal of the Hyde Amendment. Article by Timothy P. O’Malley

As a lower class kid growing up in East Tennessee, I know that sometimes we need government and Church assistance alike to pay the bills for a month or to have presents on Christmas morning. This personal narrative has been the reason I’ve been able to belong to a political party that has over my lifetime become increasingly hostile toward its pro-life membership. In my conscience, I’ve seen the rise of pro-choice politics in the Democratic Party as an unreasonable aberration, a strange denial of the human dignity of the unborn in a party that at least purports to affirm the dignity of those on the margins.

I naively imagined that there was a place at the table for someone like me, formed in a Church that has affirmed the dignity of all human life from conception to natural death. If anyone can be president, as this convention has said again and again, shouldn’t it also be the case that unplanned children may also occupy this office?

Children who come at the wrong time are best disposed of. Only children who come into our lives when we want should be kept.

The Democratic Party Sells out to Abortion!

Mount Rushmore @ www.prolifenewsflash.org

The Democratic National Convention, is making me sick. The Democratic Party has never been so extreme on abortion. They have sold out to the abortion industry.

Long gone are the days of the Democrats calling for abortion to be safe, legal and rare. Their reaction to the recent Supreme Court ruling against health & safety regulations for abortion facilities makes it clear that they don’t care about abortion being safe. And the party platform they approved on Monday which calls for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment tells us that they don’t want abortion to be rare either.

Earlier this morning, Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America and Stephanie Schriock, president of EMILY’s List were given time on the DNC stage to support pro-abortion legislators and call for even more extreme pro-abortion laws. And on Monday night, the Democratic Party honored Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood (the largest abortion business in the United States), by seating her right next to Bill Clinton. And then when she took to the stage for her prime-time speaking slot last night, she proudly exclaimed, “Hillary has always been in Planned Parenthood’s corner.” And she is correct.

This is unprecedented. The Democratic Party has never been so extreme on abortion. And the stakes have never been higher. We must keep our pro-life majority in the Senate, and we must ensure that Hillary Clinton is never permitted to become Commander-in-Chief. That’s why your SBA List team has been on the ground since October of last year, knocking on over 465,000 doors in Florida, North Carolina and Ohio to educate voters on Clinton’s extremism, and to get out the pro-life vote. Our ambitious goal is to knock on 1,000,000 doors by November – a goal we can reach with your partnership.

Now is the time to take a stand for LIFE. Please make a generous gift today to enable us to continue our critical field program in key swing states and fight Planned Parenthood’s abortion extremism. Make your gift here: https://www.sba-list.org/donate

Thank you for standing with the Susan B. Anthony List against the sickening pro-abortion extremism of Hillary Clinton and a Democratic Party that is sold out to the Abortion Industry.

For Life, Marjorie Dannenfelser President, Susan B. Anthony List

Is VP Pick, Tim Kaine, REALLY a Catholic?

Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, Catholic Diocese of Providence, R.I.

Apparently, and unfortunately, his (Catholic) faith isn’t central to his public, political life.

Democratic VP choice, Tim Kaine, has been widely identified as a Roman Catholic. It is also reported that he publicly supports ‘freedom of choice’ for abortion, same-sex marriage, gay adoptions, and the ordination of women as priests. “All of these positions are clearly contrary to well-established Catholic teachings; all of them have been opposed by Pope Francis as well” according to Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, Catholic Diocese of Providence, R.I. www.cnsnews.com/blog

Kaine has emphasized his support for Roe v. Wade and is a co-sponsor of a bill that would dismantle pro-life laws across the country.  He has a perfect pro-abortion voting record in the Senate. www.lifesitenews.com

A Dominican priest is taking on presumptive Democrat vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine and his claims of being a faithful Catholic. In a tweet addressed to Sen. Kaine of Virginia published Sunday, Fr. Thomas Petri, OP, wrote: “Do us both a favor. Don’t show up in my communion line. I take Canon 915 seriously. It’d be embarrassing for you & for me.”  www.churchmilitant.com
