Also struck down was the state’s provision requiring the remains of aborted babies to be treated the same as those of other humans. Full Article
“This decision implies that protecting abortion is more important than stopping discrimination based on race, sex, or disability,” said Fr. Pavone. “As we saw with the Supreme Court recently, judges bent on defending abortion, of necessity, turn justice on its head.”
Indiana’s law was adopted earlier this year, but was challenged by Planned Parenthood. The abortion business complained that requiring it to cremate the bodies of aborted babies would cost too much money. Judge Pratt sided with Planned Parenthood, holding that Indiana has “no legitimate state interest in treating an aborted fetus the same as a deceased human.”
“Abortion has so perverted our language and our law that a judge cannot recognize that an aborted baby in fact is a ‘deceased human,’” added Fr. Pavone. “It speaks to the very nature of the pro-abortion mindset that anyone could consign children to be treated as medical waste, as Judge Pratt has done.”

The Ark Encounter, a life-size replica of Noah’s ark described in Genesis, officially opens on July 7th in Grant county, Kentucky.

Built to the specifications given in the Bible, the giant wooden ark is 510 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 51 feet high, making it the largest timber-frame building in the world. Inside the ark there’s a museum dedicated to the story of Noah (offering a literalistic interpretation of the story) and sharing the Gospel.

The ark is just Phase 1 of a much larger planned Christian theme park that will include an ancient walled city, Tower of Babel, and first century village, among other things.

“I believe you’re going to find all sorts of people from all walks of life,” he told Christian Post, “with all sorts of religious backgrounds who are going to come here and even if they don’t share our biblical view, they can’t help but be impressed by the structure, craftsmanship and by the attention to detail of world class exhibits inside.”

Paid Internet Protestors

These people are commonly called “trolls.” I have an idea why they appear so regularly. And, I have an idea what to do about them.

The sexual revolution is built on an intellectual house of cards. It cannot withstand close scrutiny. Therefore, sexual revolutionaries cannot afford to discuss ideas, reasons and evidence. Instead they spend their time making noise that appears to be pointless. Full Article

But the noise has a very definite point. The Revolutionaries want to change the subject away from them and their illogic. Incidentally, thinking people want to leave the room, just to get away from the god-awful racket.

I suspect some of these perpetual commenters are paid by advocacy organizations. I believe this because:

• Too many of them just happen to appear at the same time and place
• They all say approximately the same thing
• They post far more than most normal people with real jobs would have time for

That is why I suggest we call them paid internet protestors, or PIPs.

They are the online intellectual equivalent of the paid street protestors who show up at Trump rallies and other places. Not physically destructive, obviously, but intellectually, they are every bit as destructive. They want you and your ideas to go away. They want you to be afraid.

Life Legal wishes you a happy and safe Independence Day!
A LIFE SAVED!!!

Last week, I had the opportunity to meet Tabetha Long, a 32 year-old woman who was largely unresponsive after she went into cardiac arrest. The decision was made to put Tabetha in hospice and to starve her to death.

Two days after arriving in hospice, Tabetha began to speak and move her limbs. When her boyfriend, John, went to visit her, she told hm she was hungry and asked for something to eat. John tried to get the hospice facility to feed Tabetha, but they refused. When she tried to get out of bed, they put her on morphine. John called the Life Legal Defense Foundation and we were able to find a local attorney to intervene. He and John went to court and the next day Tabetha was moved back to the hospital. She had been without food for 10 days.

Now Tabetha is learning how to feed herself again at a brain rehabilitation facility. She is breathing on her own and is walking with assistance. She speaks in complete sentences and has been asking to go home. Just two weeks ago, she was given a death sentence.

THANK YOU, Life Legal supporters, for helping to SAVE TABETHA’S LIFE!!!

Nuns in 19th century America often made decisions in business without ever consulting a man.

Between bathrooms and gorillas, thankfully, other news was happening last month that may just make the history books.  One of those less talked about events was that the Supreme Court of the United States made a unanimous decision in favor of the Little Sisters of the Poor. https://churchpop.com/2016/06/06/5-facts-nuns-healthcare/

The fact that a group of nuns went all the way to the Supreme Court of the U.S. over an issue involving health care is extremely interesting to me. As a graduate student pursuing a Master’s in History, I specifically researched Catholic Nuns and their influence on healthcare and nursing education. I learned that so much in our healthcare system we owe to nuns!

Here are the facts I found most impressive: Nuns in 19th century America often made decisions in business without ever consulting a man. In a culture and country where most women followed the orders of a father or husband, these women were planning, building and even providing employment without the lead of a man. AND THERE IS MORE!

In the nineteenth century, more than a third of American hospitals were established and run by women with religious vocations. In Say Little, Do Much, Sioban Nelson casts light on the work of these women’s religious communities.

It was a bizarre scene outside San Diego’s Family Planning Associates clinic when an abortion doctor exited the front door and got right in the face of a pro-life activist, who recorded the entire exchange. www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/06/21/abortion-doctor-

SAN DIEGO, CA, June 14, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – A disturbing new video shows an abortionist get in the face of a sidewalk counselor, hold scissors at throat-level, and say he loves tearing babies apart in a guttural voice. www.lifesitenews.com/news

Santella’s history shows a record of neglect that hurt women. In December 1983, the California State Board of Medical Quality Assurance suspended Dr. Santella’s license for 60 days and put him on probation for five years after documenting that he injured three female patients and contributed to one mother having a miscarriage.
