Will she get to walk a mile in her shoes?

On Tuesday, April 16, Planned Parenthood will plaster the web with the Not In Her Shoes campaign for their Virtual Lobby Day. We need your help – yes, you! – to turn it around on them.

Planned Parenthood is encouraging women to tweet and blog and otherwise post online photos of their shoes, with pithy captions about how don’t nobody know what it’s like to walk in my shoes, m’kay?

See, these people are still trying to convince us that it’s okay for them to get paid to take the lives of innocent humans, because they do it for really, really good reasons.

Not money. No way. Has nothing to do with money. Nope.

In response, Texans for Life Coalition plans to out-lobby the lobbyists with Virtual Pro-Life Lobby Day, a Not In Her Shoes campaign of their very own that will make Planned Parenthood’s message look even more dumb and shallow than it already does.

The best part: you can be involved!

Show Planned Parenthood what abortion really means by tweeting and posting photos of baby girl shoes and booties with a comment reminding abortion advocates that they’ve never for a moment considered what it feels like to be the baby girl that will never get to wear shoes.

Visit the Not In Her Shoes Virtual Pro-Life Lobby Day page on Facebook for ideas, and show your support by liking the page.

Then, this Tuesday, April 16, tweet and post your Not In Her Shoes photo with the hashtag #notinhershoes.

Planned Parenthood tells us they are helping women. Women come to them with all sorts of problems, from being poor to being really busy at work to having mean Republican parents who don’t understand them. Planned Parenthood is there to help. And yes, they do accept cash, thanks.

In an email update from Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast, president and CEO Mary E. Linton, said this:

Too often politicians are blinded by their own ideology or personal circumstances and don’t understand what another person is going through. Plain and simple: politicians shouldn’t propose legislation that restricts a woman’s private, medical decisions. They’re not in her shoes.

That’s what it means to these people to be morally opposed to abortion: we’re blinded by our ideology. I cannot think of a better way to describe the postmodern “understanding” of what a moral stance is.

Listen, Mary E. Linton, and really try hard to follow along: there are no circumstances in any woman’s life that make it acceptable to kill an innocent child. None. Even if it did somehow magically “help” her to kill her child (which it doesn’t), it still wouldn’t be okay. Period. It doesn’t matter where her shoes have walked a mile.

Kudos, though, for what will probably be a successful campaign, since women will finally have an excuse to show off their favorite shoes. Because who needs a moral compass when you have excellent taste?

If we’re going to talk about having a non-judgmental, live-and-let-live attitude, let’s start with the most innocent among us.

Don’t forget to tweet your baby girl shoes this Tuesday, April 16. If you’ve been looking for a fast, easy way to get involved for life, this is one. And remember to use hashtag #notinhershoes.

She is not the only one concerned; her doctor has been sued by three patients.

One of them has a severely brain damaged infant. One of them no longer has a uterus. One of them went to the ER after her abortion with half of her 22-week fetus still inside her and a lacerated uterus and colon.

Despite having had his hospital privileges revoked due to a heinous record, this doctor is still committing abortions in Dallas.

That’s why Texans for Life and other pro-life groups are supporting legislation which will prohibit doctors who have no hospital admitting privileges within thirty miles from performing abortions.

While this law would not end abortion in Texas, it would stop many of the butchers who have harmed women from being able to legally practice.

One doctor, who was placed on ten years probation by the Texas Medical Board and denied the privilege of practicing obstetrics, was sued by several patients for malpractice resulting in the deaths of their infants. During some of these births, the doctor should have performed a Caesarean, but instead chose a gruesome practice no longer even taught in medical schools. This grotesque procedure, called a symphysiotomy, involves severing pelvic ligaments or even breaking the pelvis, and usually leads to permanent injury.

The ban against this doctor’s obstetric practice expires in October 2013; he will be free to resume committing abortions.

He is just one more of the many dangerous and incompetent doctors who are harming women in Texas. Requiring that abortionists maintain clinical privileges at a nearby hospital will ensure continuity of care and protect women from negligent doctors who can’t obtain such privileges.

While we in the pro-life movement are honest about our goal of ending abortion, the anti-life movement is dead-set on claiming they want abortion to remain “safe, legal, and rare.”

The truth is they’re settling for one out of three.

Abortion is not rare, and until it is illegal it will never be rare. Abortion is the most common surgical procedure in the country.

Abortion is not safe, and it will never be safe. The very nature of the procedure attracts the type of doctor who does not mind replacing healing with killing.

With the Thirty Mile Rule, we can take an important step in Texas towards protecting women and their children from injury and death. Similar legislation has been litigated and upheld not only in Mississippi, but in Missouri, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania.

This law will provide the kind of peer oversight which is commonly applied to other surgeons, and which the Texas Medical Board, charged with monitoring about 65,000 doctors, cannot provide.

Right now, out of more than 60 abortionists in Texas, 25 don’t have hospital admitting privileges.The first step toward caring for Texas women and children is to demand that abortionists meet the standard of care required to obtain those privileges.

While the opposition claims hospitals deny privileges to abortionists for fear of protesters and other entanglements, this is belied by the fact that two-thirds of Texas abortion providers have obtained clinical privileges in at least one hospital, and sometimes several.

Virtually every pro-life group in Texas supports this legislation, but we need the voice of the people of Texas.

Do your part for life by sharing this blog and contacting your Texas lawmakers. Write or call to tell them you support legislation requiring hospital admitting privileges for all abortion providers in Texas.

Please, help us win this battle for the lives and health of Texas women and children. Help Texas continue to set a pro-life example for the rest of the country.

This year’s theme is Exodus 20:13. Aptly, 2013 is more than just the 40^th anniversary of Roe. It’s also the Exodus verse that tells us: Thou shalt not kill.

For forty years, our country has wandered in the darkness of the shadow cast by the Roe decision, lost in a wilderness of immorality in which a culture of death has flourished and overrun our nation.

This year, we are committed to making the Dallas March for Life a passionate, unforgettable coming together of Texans committed to ending the scourge of abortion.

The 2013 event promises to be our biggest ever. It will begin, as it should, with prayer, as we gather outside the Routh Street abortion business at 7:45 a.m.

At 10 am, you can choose one of two services to attend: the Pro-Life Ministry Fair followed by a Praise & Worship Service at First Baptist Dallas, or the Roe Memorial Mass at the Cathedral Guadalupe. At First Baptist, you’ll hear the moving testimony of post-abortive women and important words from Carolyn Cline of Downtown Pregnancy Center, Kyleen Wright of Texans for Life Coalition, and Ann Hettinger of Concerned Women for America of TXamong others. At the Cathedral, the Memorial Mass will include a moving Rose Ceremony, in which a survivor from each year since Roe became law in 1973 will carry a rose down the center aisle of the sanctuary in remembrance of the 1.2 million children who died that year.

The march itself will begin in the Cathedral Plaza at noon, and will follow a peaceful, prayerful, police-escorted path through downtown Dallas to the Earle Cabell Federal Building, which houses the district court where the original Roe case was filed.

Outside the Earle Cabell building, one of the most exciting events of the day occurs: an uplifting rally celebrating the unborn and recommitting the people of Dallas to ending abortion where it started. The rally will feature worship music and several powerful speakers, such as abortion survivor Angela Martinez Balderaz and writer and activist Destiny Herndon-De La Rosa of New Wave Feminists. Bishop Kevin Farrell of the Diocese of Dallas,Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship’s Chris Wheel and Pastor Richard Elllis of Reunion Church of Dallas will also address what promises to be a crowd numbering in the thousands.

After the rally, you’re invited to make your way back to the Pro-Life Ministry Fair at First Baptist Dallas.

The 2013 Dallas March for Life is your chance to play a part in Dallas’s commitment to be the backdrop to the end of abortion. If you want, bring a life-affirming sign and the whole family, and make sure you bring your heart for the unborn. We need you to help send a message to the powers that be. We need you with us to say: we are done wandering in the desert. Together, we are going to remind the nation of the Commandment of Exodus 20:13: “Thou shalt not kill.”

Join us at Exodus2013.org.

2013 is the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade. We are expecting over 10,000 people in Dallas to March for Life this year. The theme is Exodus 20:13, Thou Shalt Not Kill. I feel sure that 10,000 people marching to the courthouse are going to look like an exodus coming out of the desert of 40 years of abortion. Surely this will be the year that the major television and radio stations will be there to report the March for Life, alongside the faithful evangelical and catholic stations that are with us every year!

Many people who march are Christians who are constantly in the front lines, fighting against abortion. We are encouraged by the Sonogram law, the number of clinics that are closing and the actions Texans for Life is taking to expose the degenerate docs and deplorable conditions of many of the abortion mills. These are huge strides brought about by small steps taken, toward ending abortion. Even still, upon occasion, it feels like it is us against the world, and the March for Life is a fabulous way for all of us to see that we are not standing alone in this fight, not by a long shot! These marchers represent pro-lifers in Texas. It is a beautiful sight to see multiple denominations, Crisis Pregnancy Centers, and all other pro-life groups and individuals, come together in peace and prayer, to show our solidarity for LIFE.

Get there early to get a parking spot or seat! Bring a car or bus load of friends and family, a picnic lunch, water bottle, comfy shoes, and be prepared for Texas weather! We hope to see you at one of two events, starting at 10:00 AM!

First Baptist Dallas, (1707 San Jacinto)

10:00 Pro-Life ministry fair

11:00 Praise and worship service. We will hear a few words from several speakers at First Baptist Dallas; Ann Hettinger – Concerned Women for America of Texas, Dr. Robert Jeffress – First Baptist Dallas, Kyleen Wright – Texans for Life, Richard Ellis – Reunion Church, Carolyn Cline – Downtown Pregnancy Center & Involved for Life, Dave Pomerantz-Involved for Life & Sonograms on site, and Dr. Jack Hatcher – Christ for the Nations.

Some Ft. Worth residents believe this is what happens when Planned Parenthood can’t get their way in Dallas. Others think the location was chosen for other reasons. No matter the strategy, one thing is certain: Planned Parenthood is building a late-term abortion clinic in Ft. Worth — next to a nationally recognized adoption agency.

It began with a simple transaction.

Cerine Management, LLC, formed in 2009, bought a parcel of land in southwest Ft. Worth. The company’s records were vague, with Gray “Tuck” Henry the sole principal listed. Elizabeth Solender of Solender Hall Commercial Real Estate, a broker representing Cerine, purchased land from a Ft. Worth man named Dan McDonald, who was told it would be used for an ambulatory surgical center. Solender, an influential League of Women Voters type known among North Texas power politics players and non-profit feminists, specializes in transferring real estate from companies to non-profits.

Rumors began to spread around the Ft. Worth area when a former Planned Parenthood executive converted to Christianity in Denison and told her pastor PP was planning something horrible in Ft. Worth. Pastors, like the rest of us, talk. Her pastor told another pastor, Dr. Michael Dean of Travis Avenue Baptist Church, in the fall of 2011.

Not yet knowing what PP had up their sleeve, or where their big idea might land, Dean contacted The Edna Gladney Center, and together they formed Life Advisory Team to explore the sinister possibility of Planned Parenthood making inroads in southwest Ft. Worth. Unfortunately, PP was too secretive. Before any action was taken, ground was broken.

The general contractor on the 19,377 square foot, two-story job is The DeMoss Co. With long-term ties to Ft. Worth, Jim DeMoss also has ties to Planned Parenthood. His wife Margaret’s name was associated with the 2010 annual PP budget report; she was a fundraiser for their $21 million North Texas campaign, and the Ft. Worth co-chair.

Sources say DeMoss failed to inform his employees what kind of facility they were building. When they found out, he allowed Planned Parenthood to warn them of violent extremists, angry protesters, and the threat of bodily harm, leaving them shaken but committed to staying on the job.

DeMoss has reportedly built many churches in Ft. Worth and surrounding areas for about fifteen years, many of which were featured on his website, including Travis Avenue Baptist. At last look they had been removed from the page, some say at the churches’ request.

Texans for Life has also been told there was no identification anywhere on the plans filed with the municipality that the end result would be a Planned Parenthood center, and not just a center but an ambulatory surgery where late-term abortions can be committed next door to The Edna Gladney Center, a well-known adoption agency. Planned Parenthood has denied any deception and claimed they are forced to operate in secret for fear of violent activism. They have also, according to peaceful boycott members and protesters, installed an alarm triggered to go off if anyone gets too near the curb (for prayer, parking, etc.) that blasts directly into the dormitory wing of the Gladney adoption center, where expectant mothers are housed.

It wasn’t until he was given the address of the new Planned Parenthood site that Tim Pulliam of Pulliam Concrete realized he was on that very job, and scheduled to pour in the morning. He immediately pulled his men and walked away, followed by Tri-Dal, Phillips Electric (saying “We’d rather walk than have anything to do with a job like that”) and other subcontractors. Rone Engineers, founded and run by a Catholic, will do no additional work on the site.

While many, like Pulliam, got involved against their will and want nothing to do with publicity, others are happy to be involved, showing up daily to pray and protest. Pro-life activist Chris Danze is leading the boycott, with help from Texans for Life Coalition and other organizations. A protester holding a sign bearing the face of an aborted fetus last Wednesday reported that a worker leaving the site pointed to it and asked, “Is that what we’re building?” When she replied that it was, he said, “I’m done, I’m not coming back. I’m pro-life so I won’t be working this job anymore.”

Abortions up 24 weeks gestation will be committed at this surgical center once it is completed. Meanwhile, TLC and all of pro-life North Texas ask for your support. If enough outrage and concern is expressed to the DeMoss Co. and whoever steps up to replace them, we can keep this abomination from opening its doors in our community. Call 817-920-9990 to respectfully express your opinion to the DeMoss Co, or write to them at 4205 Stadium Dr. #100, Ft. Worth, TX, 76133.

According to their website:

They will leave everything behind to embark on this symbolic journey depicting America’s tragic path of abortion, taking a radical stand for life as they share their personal stories of how abortion has impacted each of their lives.

During this prayer journey, a video documentary team with an Internet channel will stream the walk live, daily featuring a young woman’s account of how abortion has affected her life. Some of these women are post-abortive, some are survivors of abortion; others are those who have been stirred by this national calamity and have come to walk for life because of their passion for the issue. Together, these women represent the stand for life in the midst of a culture of death.

The 39 women walk for various reasons. Erdoo says, “I am walking to bring awareness to the injustice of Black genocide at the hands of the abortion industry.” Summer says, “I am walking because, when I was 16 years old I had a traumatic abortion experience and I remember feeling the pain of my baby being sucked from my womb…” Melissa says, “I am walking on behalf of the unborn. I was scheduled to die but in one moment everything changed.”

Back to Life founder Laura Z. Allred hopes this symbolic march will draw attention to a voice that is often not heard. “When we look at those who speak out on both sides of the abortion issue, they are not the demographic in the middle of this debate — the 20-something aged woman.”

The long walk will end in a rally in downtown Dallas, leading up to the two-day Esther Call at the Dallas Convention Center, in which Pastor Lou Engle and thousands of women will gather to pray and mobilize for the unborn.

Between Back to Life, the Esther Call, and the upcoming launch of Save the Storks, this Easter season is shaping up to be a whirlwind of pro-life activity in the Dallas area.

As always, let’s keep working to make sure what started in Texas ends in Texas. Let’s make 2012 the year we begin to see the end of abortion, and let’s make it start with us.

Just a friendly reminder that the movie I had the pleasure of seeing recently, Doonby, opened yesterday in Chattanooga and today in Dallas. If you’re in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, grab some friends and go see it. How it does in Dallas will determine how it will do across the country, and this is a story that needs to be told to an entire nation. It is by turns warm and thrilling, and its jaw-dropping ending alone is worth the ticket price.

Most of all, I firmly believe that this film, without preaching or shoving anything down anyone’s throat, can save lives.

Even if you’re nowhere near Dallas, please share this on Facebook and Twitter and Pinterest and Tumblr and MySpace (if you keep it old-skool).

Special Doonby Trivia: This movie was screened — and praised — by the Vatican, and yet it is not a religious movie. Curious? Go see it!

Check out Dallas show times! And click here to see a trailer!

Under Obamacare’s new regulations, all employers — exempting only churches and missions, but including religious hospitals and universities – will be forced to provide drugs and procedures that directly contradict the teachings of the Catholic Church and other religious belief systems.

For free.

Most people have to pay some portion of even life-saving surgery, and fight to get insurance to pay for some transplants. But in Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius’s brave new world, you can jaunt on over to the Walgreen’s and have them rustle up an abortion pill for free, on an insurance plan subsidized by your Catholic employer.

If you’re not outraged about this, no matter what your religious persuasion or lack thereof, you have abandoned all belief in liberty.

Liberty is a God-given right granted to us not by any government, document, or law, but by our Creator. Or, if the word Creator offends you, by our nature. We are free because we are supposed to be free, and even those who reject religion and have no firm belief system on which to base their understanding of liberty still know it is our birthright.

Ironically, the same people who cry “liberty” when it comes to a woman’s “right” to have an abortion, get herself sterilized, or contracept, are ignoring it now when it comes to the sacred right of human beings not to support that which they find unsupportable. Pro-lifers believe liberty ends when it conflicts with another’s right to live; hence our opposition to abortion and abortifacients. Supporters of this new regulation believe liberty ends wherever they say it does, and to hell with your religion and everything in it.

An op-ed written for the far-left magazine The Nation comes right out and says all you need to know in the title: “Obama Stands Up To Bishops. Finally.” The article goes on to question the teachings of the Catholic Church on birth control and condemn the Church for its imaginary war on “women’s health.”

First: I am so sick of people lumping abortion and birth control together and calling it “women’s health.” Neither one of these two things are necessary for women to be healthy. In fact, you can make a pretty solid argument that both of these things are damaging to women’s health, emotionally and physically.

Second: the Catholic Church is definitely the largest and arguably the most prolific charitable organization on the planet. If you have done any reading on the subject of European history, you will know that throughout the past two millennia, no one single entity has fed, clothed, and healed more human beings — including human women — around the world than the big mean evil patriarchal rich white woman-hating Catholic Church. This is not me ringing the Papal bell because I’m a Catholic. It’s just true.

Oh, you pesky truth! Getting in the way of everybody’s sexy, young, refreshing lies!

Third: when it coms to this issue, it shouldn’t matter to you whether abortion or birth control or sterilization is a good idea or not. It should just deeply bother and alarm you that our current administration is making it illegal to not pay for something you don’t believe in.

This administration has repeatedly shown a blatant, unapologetic disregard for those of us who believe that human rights begin when human life begins. Even as they curtail the rights of the unborn, they find magical new “rights” at every turn, and turn them into entitlements. It is no longer enough to have a “right” to birth control pills. Now, someone has to provide them for you — for free. How far will it go? Abortions are already subsidized by the taxpayer — Planned Parenthood gets tons of money from us, as you well know — so how long ’til radical pro-abortion groups like the Center for Reproductive Rights get their way?

I sat in an audience and listened to CRR president Nancy Northup argue that a right you can’t afford is no right at all. Hence, her argument for free abortions on demand.

I have a right to drive a Ferrari. Maybe one day in the golden Obama-scented future, all of you will be required to buy me one. That would be nice! Except, of course, for the pesky fact that, as Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher observed of Socialist governments, “They always run out of other people’s money.”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: unfortunately, abortion is still legal. You can go have an abortion if you want, and I can’t stop you. What I will not do, however, and should not by any government be compelled to do, is assist you in any way. I do not believe in artificial contraception, so if I am your employer and I am a Catholic, I should not have to provide you with insurance that pays 100% — or any percent — of your contraception costs. The government that forces me to do so is no longer a government for and by free men, but a tyranny.

Pro-choicers, if your sex life is — as you have been fond of screaming at me when I protest abortion — “your business,” how can you expect me to help you pay for it?

President Obama, under pressure from Congressional Republicans, signed an executive order in 2010 stating that Obamacare would not require citizens to pay for other people’s abortions. And now here he is, forcing all employers — including religious hospitals and schools, or even just some Catholic guy who owns a chain of bowling alleys – to provide insurance plans that include free abortion drugs to their employees.

Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese for Military Services wrote a letter which he issued to all Catholic military clergy to be read aloud at Sunday masses around the world. He called the new regulations “a blow to a freedom that you have fought to defend and for which you have seen your buddies fall in battle.”

The Army’s Office of the Chief of Chaplains attempted to stop Archbishop Broglio’s letter from being read. Secretary of the Army John McHugh, an Obama appointee, ended up allowing the letter to be read almost in its entirety. The Archbishop had to remove a line that said, “We cannot–we will not–comply with this unjust law.”

Well, I am not in the Armed Forces. So I’m saying it, on behalf of myself, and on behalf of millions of pro-life men and women, employers and employees, of all religious faiths, and even those who may not be pro-life but who recognize a threat to liberty when they see it.

“We cannot — we will not — comply with this unjust law.”

Contact your Representatives and Senators today. Right now. Call them on the phone or write them. They work for you. Click here to find out who they are. Tell them if they don’t oppose Obamacare, you will oppose them. Tell them you will refuse to comply with a law that compels you to betray your conscience.

This is still our country. Let’s make sure they know it.

Here is some of Komen’s official statement:

We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives.

The events of this week have been deeply unsettling for our supporters, partners and friends and all of us at Susan G. Komen.  We have been distressed at the presumption that the changes made to our funding criteria were done for political reasons or to specifically penalize Planned Parenthood.  They were not.

Our original desire was to fulfill our fiduciary duty to our donors by not funding grant applications made by organizations under investigation.  We will amend the criteria to make clear that disqualifying investigations must be criminal and conclusive in nature and not political. That is what is right and fair.

“Or is it what is gutless?” asked Mark Davis on the air this morning.

I had planned on saying two things if I managed to get on the air. The first thing: yes, it’s great that Komen defunded Planned Parenthood, but not great that it took a Congressional investigation to make them do it. It makes it seem like they are fleeing from controversy, when what they should be doing is taking a strong stand for women’s health. Planned Parenthood encourages women to make irresponsible, physically damaging decisions, and makes money off those decisions by offering to suck the decisions out of them and dispose them as medical waste. In the process, they mislead women about the fact that their decision is now a living human being.

The second thing I was going to say: there is medical research showing a link between abortion, birth control pills, and breast cancer, which I’ll get to in a moment. I would call that a conflict of interest, wouldn’t you?

Komen grants funds to Planned Parenthood based on the idea that they provide general “healthcare services” to women. Although it is certainly possible a breast exam at Planned Parenthood might reveal a lump and a mammogram (which PP doesn’ t offer) might be recommended, “Any check written to Planned Parenthood facilitates the abortion services they provide,” as Mark Davis said this morning.

Davis made no bones about his deep admiration for Komen and the work they do to cure breast cancer. What he did not mention, and what he may not be considering, is that you can’t spend money to cure women from this stack, and spend money to hurt them from this other stack. Abortion hurts women. It hurts them physically, mentally, and emotionally.

There is also a link — which some in the medical community deny and others proclaim is absolutely true — between having an abortion and contracting breast cancer later in life. I urge you to look at the research and make up your own mind whether denial of the link is politically motivated or based on science.

“We do not want our mission marred or affected by politics – anyone’s politics,” said Komen’s official statement, released this morning. In response to this, Mark Davis said, “The Komen people made this political the day they decided to contribute to Planned Parenthood.”

If raising money to cure breast cancer were their primary concern, they would not have reversed this decision. Their donations went up 100% in the short time since they announced the halting of grants to PP as pro-lifers who have refused to donate to Komen opened their wallets to thank them for their decision, happy to finally be able to give to their good work of fighting breast cancer with a clear conscience. I wonder if Komen has given any thought to the fact that those people gave money in good faith believing it wouldn’t be used to fund abortions. Will they refund that money? I guess we’ll see.

Komen has literally chosen Planned Parenthood over finding a cure for breast cancer, which is startling proof both of PP’s political and societal clout, and Komen’s lack of integrity and commitment to their own professed cause. They claim not to be politically motivated, but they give money to the most polarizing “healthcare” organization in the country. They claim all they want to do is cure breast cancer, but Planned Parenthood has no more connection to breast cancer than any hospital, clinic, or OB/Gyn who performs breast exams as part of a routine physical.

It is a terrible shame that Komen has caved in to political pressure from pro-abortion fanatics who demand obeisance to Planned Parenthood. It is a terrible shame they’re allowing PP and its followers to compromise their mission to cure breast cancer.

If you would like to donate to a remarkable healthcare organization that fights breast cancer every day, consider M.D. Anderson in Houston.
