Whew! J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books are popular! With tens, maybe hundreds, of millions of these books being sold, we’re wondering what is the key to the immense popularity of this series.

I came across a very interesting article that I believe gives at least one key to why Harry Potter is such a hit with my generation. And given the fact that our times are immersed in the Culture of Death, the article made a lot of sense to me.

This article can be read here, and is titled, “Harry Potter, the Archetype of an Abortion Survivor”. It was written by Dr. Philip Ney, the famed child phsychiatrist and phsychologist, and his wife. It discusses how the story of Harry Potter happens to match almost perfectly the mind frame, struggles, emotions, and difficulties of young people who are abortion survivors! And it mentions that these youth have taken a great interest in Harry Potter because in his problems, struggles, emotions, and difficulties, they seem to recognize their own lives. (more…)

One of the speakers at our TeenSpeak 2008 conference was Scott Klusendorf, who is one of the best pro-life speakers I’ve ever heard.

The main reason why he’s so good is that he’s able to explain why abortion is wrong in a simple, convincing, and logical way by focusing on just one single question.

In an article titled “A Short Defense of the Pro-Life Position”, Scott writes:

Pro-life advocates contend that elective abortion unjustly takes the life of a defenseless human being. This simplifies the abortion debate by focusing public attention on just one question: Is the unborn a member of the human family? If so, killing him or her to benefit others is a serious moral wrong. Conversely, if the unborn are not human, elective abortion requires no more justification than having a tooth pulled.

This is not a debate about privacy or trusting women to make their own responsible choices. For example, does the right to make one’s own responsible choices include the rights of parents to abuse children in the privacy of the home? Therefore, if the unborn are human like other children…killing them in the name of privacy is a clear moral wrong. Hence, the abortion debate is really about one question: What is the unborn? Is he or she a member of the human family? Everything comes back to that one question.

There was an article this weekend in a Los Angeles area newspaper about Korin Cuico, a San Pedro teenager and a highly recruited softball player who became pregnant and decided — at the last minute — against having an abortion.

Instead, Korin chose to let one of her cousins (who had just found out she was unable to have children) adopt her baby:

“In my mind, I was thinking about an abortion,” Cuico said. “But I didn’t want to because the baby was already moving in my stomach. I felt sad just thinking about an abortion. It was an emotional roller coaster for the next month….”

“I had a change of heart. If I had an abortion, I don’t know how I would’ve lived with myself.”

Sometimes, things seem to be getting stranger and stranger. I always wonder what those who promote the Culture of Death are going to come up with next. What will be their next “ingenious” attack on human life and dignity?

I just read an article from Time Magazine that really was an “ingenious” attack on human life and dignity! I really can’t believe what I read sometimes. Our pro-life position seems so terribly sensible and simple compared to some of the Culture of Death “reasonings”. (more…)

Hundreds of crosses that were part of a Cemetery of the Innocents pro-life display at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point were torn out of the ground by a rampaging pro-abortion student May 1. Members of the campus pro-life group, Pointers for Life, caught the entire incident on video.

The vandal, sophomore Roderick King, is a senator in the UWSP Student Government Association. A commentor on the YouTube video page, one Kristen Carlson who says that she is SGA senator, indicates that King is being suspended, but Jill Stanek reports that no such action has been taken.

We recently heard from our friends at Human Life Alliance about a lively campus-wide conversation that started at Purdue University after the Purdue Students for Life inserted 17,500 copies of HLA’s sleek pro-life publication Trapped… into the student newspaper The Exponent.

It’s interesting to see how very different the types of comments were from the “pro-choice” students compared to those of the pro-life students in the The Exponent’s letters to the editors section in issues after Trapped… appeared.

The pro-life tour across Washington State with Show the Truth was absoutely great! We went from Olympia to Spokane over a period of five days, stopping at abortion mills, colleges, and universities along the way and holding signs and passing out literature.

There were seven of us teenagers along on the tour, and each of us had a wonderful time and really loved every bit of it! It was very inspiring to see all these kids taking time off school and work in order to dedicate some time and energy to saving babies. I think also that we learn very much on these tours!

One college that all of us really like to visit on our tours is The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. (more…)

There’s a full report on Saturday’s rally in Aurora, IL here.

Despite the nasty winds and unseasonably cold temperatures, over 400 pro-lifers came out to protest at the site of the largest currently operating abortion clinic in the U.S.

One of the features of Saturday’s rally was a “Cemetery of Choice” consisting of tombstones with the names of women who have lost their lives due to abortion:

On May 3, Saint Michael the Archangel Organization is hoping to have one million rosaries said for the unborn.  Please consider participating in this event.  Just go to their site to learn more and to register.  Thanks!

Show the Truth WA is a pro-life activist group centered in Olympia, Washington. Their focus is educating about abortion with graphic signs.

Twice a year, Show the Truth has week-long tours during which they travel either up and down or across Washington State and hold educational demonstrations at abortion mills, colleges, and universities. You can visit Show the Truth’s website here.

We have been able to join Show the Truth for all these tours, and we very much look forward to each one! Each of them has been a wonderful experience in pro-life activism, and I have learned an incredible amount from these tours! I especially enjoy going to college and university campuses.

Show the Truth makes a special effort, when on these tours, to join other pro-life organizations at their local abortion mills. This kind of working together is very favorable and productive to the pro-life movement.

Next week, starting on April 21 and ending on April 25, Show the Truth is going to have its spring tour across Washington State. I and my Mom and brother are going along with them, and we’re really excited about doing this again!

Please specially keep us all in your prayers during this pro-life tour! Definitely front-line stuff!

And I will very much encourage any of you to join this kind of tour if there are any in or near your area.

God bless.

**UPDATE, 4/18, 4:55pm: A Yale spokesperson says Shvarts’ project was a hoax. Shvarts disagrees.

There has already been a lot of reaction among pro-lifers to the news that a Yale student, Aliza Shvarts, plans to display for her senior art project “a documentation of a nine-month process” during which she repeatedly got pregnant and took drugs to induce abortions on herself.

An article in the Yale Daily News also reports:

[Shvarts] said she was not concerned about any medical effects the forced miscarriages may have had on her body. The abortifacient drugs she took were legal and herbal, she said, and she did not feel the need to consult a doctor about her repeated miscarriages.

Kristan Hawkins, executive director of Students for Life of America, has issued a challenge to the major pro-abortion groups:

“I call on Planned Parenthood, NARAL, NOW and all other so-called pro-choice groups to condemn this. Abortion should never be trivialized as a matter of ‘art.’”

It will be hard for them to do that, as these groups have been saying for decades that women should be able to have abortions for any reason at all. (more…)

Many of you may be familiar with the Catholic restoration efforts of several missionary priests in Russia. They are stationed in Vladivostok, and for 17 years they have labored tirelessly to restore the Catholic cathedral there. This cathedral had been confiscated by the communists during their regime and turned into a state archive. On February 3 of this year, the missionaries rededicated this cathedral.

The name of this Russian mission is Mary Mother of God Mission Society.

These priests’ work is absolutely amazing! There are VERY few priests in Russia, and SO MUCH work to be done! Only 1% of Russians go to church, because church was so taken out of their lives by the communists. The family in Russia is also almost totally in ruin, and the divorce rate is 80% during the first four years. The average child number per family is 1. And the average Russian woman has 8 abortions! (more…)

Yeah, it’s true.

Because guess what: he can’t support Planned Parenthood without also supporting black genocide!

Planned Parenthood is hugely involved in aggressive black genocide. Not only do they accept money to expressly kill little African American children (as John exposed in a recent post here), but they make it a point to build their death mills in minority neighborhoods, so that they can make money off the poverty of many African Americans by killing their children. Go here to learn about a new building that Planned Parenthood is trying to erect on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, a minority neighborhood, in Portland, Oregon.

Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was very strongly in favor of black genocide. At one time she said to a minister that she was working with to bring her teachings to the black community: “We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population”.

So Planned Parenthood facilitates black genocide. And Barack Obama supports Planned Parenthood, as can be seen here.

Now, some recent election news has been about Obama’s pastor giving racist speeches. I wonder why the news hasn’t gone all out about Obama’s support for black genocide. And his pastor’s supporting black genocide by supporting Obama who supports black genocide.

Obama’s pastor said in one speech that America invented AIDS to exterminate black people. He really got it for saying that. And maybe he should. But I want to know why he forgot to mention that Planned Parenthood was invented to exterminate black people.

Planned Parenthood has done their work well. It’s up to us to expose them.

God bless.

The UCLA pro-life student group Live Action has just released the second video in a series exposing Planned Parenthood’s racism:

• Planned Parenthood Threatens Student with Lawsuit

At a campaign stop in Johnstown, PA this Saturday, Barack Obama was asked, if he were elected president, how his administration would deal with HIV/AIDS and preventing STDs in young girls.

Obama responded:

– or we give them really expensive surgery and we don’t spend money on the front end keeping people healthy in the first place. So when it comes specifically to HIV/AIDS, the most important prevention is education, which should include — which should include abstinence education and teaching the children — teaching children, you know, that sex is not something casual. But it should also include — it should also include other, you know, information about contraception because, look, I’ve got two daughters, 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals.

But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at the age of 16. You know, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.

First, regarding this last part: If Obama really is interested in not withholding information from teenagers that will help them avoid getting an STD, what kind of information is he talking about? (more…)
