It passed with 69 yes votes including 21 Republican votes. The Republicans who voted yes are in red for voter identification purposes—remember how they voted come primary season! We need to primary RINOS and defeat them!

The above video is from C-Span 2 which means the statements occurred on the floor of the Senate. The year is either 2005 or 2006 when the Republicans controlled the Senate. The debate is about a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as being between one man and one woman. The Amendment would have passed in the Senate if some RINO Republicans like John McCain had not voted against it. As a result, we now have the Supreme Court considering if homosexuals somehow have the “right” to have faux “marriage!”

Republican Mark Sanford wins the special election in South Carolina District 1

From: http://enews.earthlink.net/article/us?guid=20130508/d521d016-12ef-4633-9e8f-e47f817f1e0a

“Although the district is strongly Republican, Colbert Busch raised more money than Sanford. And national Democrats flooded the airwaves with ads attacking Sanford’s past indiscretions (As if Democrats don’t have past indiscretions. What the Democrats can not fathom is that Christians forgive people for their transgressions when they are truly repentant!—my addition).”

“The Reality of Abortion

The murder trial of Pennsylvania abortionist, Kermit Gosnell, has revealed much to the nation. Despite the lack of media attention, America has come face to face with the realities of the inhumanity of abortion in Gosnell’s action of killing an untold number of babies born alive, by snipping their necks with scissors. It was not just babies who died. At least one mother also died resulting in one of the murder charges against Gosnell and drawing attention to his clinic, which like many abortion clinics, lacked basic sanitary and health standards.

To ensure this reality was not lost on the nation, Congressman Chris Smith (R-N.J.) organized a series of speeches on the House floor in which various members of Congress spoke about the horrific practices of Gosnell and the lack of media attention on the trial. One speaker was Representative Marlin Stutzman (R-Indiana) [I originally supported him when he ran as a Tea Party candidate for the U.S. Senate in a special election primary in early 2010. He came in second with a host of candidates in the field. That same year, he ran for the House of Representatives and won.—my addition]. Shortly after speaking on the House floor, Congressman Stutzman had a conversation with his mother in which he learned that she had been very close to aborting him when she found out she was pregnant at 17. In an op-ed about his mother's experience, he notes (This is one of my posts for today on this site.—my addition), ‘Kermit Gosnell, like every other abortionist in this country, sold lies to young women like my mother.’

Gosnell is not the only abortionist selling lies to people like Representative Stutzman’s mother. Infanticide and late-term abortion are practiced on a regular basis in this country. A series of undercover videos

http://www.liveaction.org/inhuman/

by Live Action reveal the grisly truth about the late-term abortion business. The videos highlight doctors from four different abortion facilities describing gruesome late term abortion procedures. The videos also reveal the fact that some babies are born alive in these clinics and are then left to die despite the laws in place requiring these facilities to administer life-saving care to these infants.

These horrific practices need to be confronted and not hidden behind the misleading language of ‘choice.’ Thanks to the courage of pro-life leaders like Representative Stutzman and organizations like Live Action, the truth is finally coming to light.

“Partial Victory in Obama Conscience Mandate Battle

The Obama administration has been asserting that no for-profit company has the right to claim a religious exemption from its health care mandate that requires employers to provide insurance coverage that includes contraception, sterilization, and abortion drugs. Tyndale House, a Christian publishing firm that publishes the Bible, disagreed.

Last November, a federal judge ruled Tyndale was a religious employer. As a result, Tyndale won ‘a preliminary injunction ... that prevented the government from enforcing the (conscience) mandate, which forces businesses such as Tyndale to cover contraceptives that can cause chemical abortions.’

The administration filed suit demanding that the injunction be lifted—and now, in a stunning development, has dropped its suit against the injunction. FRC’s ally, Alliance Defense Freedom, took this case

http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/06/obama-admin-gives-up-forcing-bible-publisher-to-obey-hhs-mandate/

and pursued it vigorously. According to their Senior Counsel Matt Bowman, ‘The government dismissed its appeal because it knows how ridiculous it sounds arguing that a Bible publisher isn’t religious enough to qualify as a religious employer ... now the Obama administration has had to retreat in court.’

In describing the impact of the case, Baptist Press reports that

http://www.bpnews.net/BPnews.asp?ID=40247

‘Tyndale is among the 25 for-profits that have obtained rulings in federal court. Of those, the for-profits have won injunctions against the administration in 19 cases, according to a tally by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, placing the for-profits’ record at 19-6.’

Although the administration is continuing to pursue its underlying case against Tyndale, it will no longer attempt to demand compliance until the case is settled. The conscience-violating Obamacare insurance mandate continues to roil the political and legal landscape, but for now a significant battle has been won for one company. However, countless other employers and employees are under threat from this administration unless Congress acts. As we work to make that a reality, we congratulate our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom for their court victory!’”

“Congressman’s Powerful Admission: I Was Almost a Victim of Abortion

by Steven Ertelt
Washington, DC
LifeNews.com
5/8/13

Congressman Marlin Stutzman, an Indiana Republican, has been one of the pro-life stalwarts in the House of Representatives.

He has exposed abortion practitioner Kermit Gosnell

http://www.lifenews.com/2013/04/11/congressman-gosnell-an-abortion-predator-who-must-be-exposed/

on the floor of the House and now he is exposing another shocker: he was almost a victim of abortion. Below is the column he wrote

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/may/8/a-close-encounter-with-abortion/

for the Washington Times in which he makes the shocking revelations public.

On a cold December night in 1975, a 17-year-old girl sobbed on the bedroom floor of a neighbor’s house. Her own home had just burned to the ground, destroying everything she had. But that wasn’t the only weight she carried that night. She had just discovered that she was a few weeks pregnant with her first child. In the dark, alone and terrified, she decided to find a way to Kalamazoo, Michigan, 40 miles away, to ‘take care of her situation.’

That young girl was my mother, and if she had gone to Kalamazoo that night, you wouldn’t be reading this today. I would have been aborted.

Recently, after speaking on the House floor about the horrors of Dr. Kermit Gosnell’s abortion clinic in Philadelphia, I began wondering if my mother had ever thought about ending her unplanned pregnancy. My parents never gave any indication that it was ever a consideration, but was it?

I gave her a call. When she answered, I talked to her about my speech on the House floor and then asked gently, ‘Mom, did you ever think about.’ There was a tense pause, and then, through tears she said, ‘Marlin, I’m so sorry!’ As we cried together, I was no longer a congressman, but a son understanding for the first time the heartache and struggles my mom had gone through before I was born. As we talked about her fear of driving 40 miles alone, I had to think, ‘What if a ‘Gosnell’ clinic was only four miles away instead of 40?’

She asked if I could forgive her. I answered, ‘Yes, with all my heart.’ I said that I couldn’t imagine how scared she must have been, and how thankful I was for her and Dad’s strength to do the right thing and protect my life. It could have ended so differently. At home with my wife and two children that night, my heart ached at the thought that all of this might never have been.

For 40 years, our society has been unwilling to come to grips with the grim truth about abortion. We’ve raced down a dead-end street, willfully blind to the facts, only to find ourselves at 3801 Lancaster St.—Kermit Gosnell’s clinic in West Philadelphia. There, behind brick walls, he killed (MURDERED!—my addition) hundreds of babies by snipping their spinal cords just moments after delivery (An evil and perverted generation!—my addition).

After hiding behind euphemisms like ‘choice’ for so long, is it any wonder that Dr. Gosnell and his staff hid behind the euphemism of ‘snipping’ to describe severing infants’ necks with scissors? After decades of claiming that the unborn child is just a ‘blob of tissue (Which was, and IS, and always will be a LIE!—my addition),’ why should we be horrified to see freezers, trash bags and cat food tins stuffed with such blobs? Why should the White House find Dr. Gosnell’s actions ‘unsettling’ when, as a state senator, President Obama voted against Illinois’ Born Alive Infants Protection Act?

Our natural horror and grief are absurd unless we face the truth that abortion takes an innocent human life. There is no moral distinction between ending a child’s life five seconds after birth or five days before. Yet many of those who are repulsed by Dr. Gosnell too quickly pivot to phrases like ‘safe, legal and rare (Which as we all know is a LIE and a contradiction in terms!—my addition)’ as if they were legitimate arguments.

In fact, these are the abortion industry’s underlying falsehoods—lies the Gosnell case exposes.

What’s the difference between the abortion business, funded by giants like Planned Parenthood, and Dr. Gosnell’s Philadelphia house of horrors? Not much. Abortionists like him have recommended their gruesome practices as normal procedures for years. The only difference now is that their sterile terminology has been revealed in horrific pictures and eyewitness accounts for what it is: the killing of the weakest among us.

Right now, Americans ought to come together for an honest conversation about abortion. In the days and weeks ahead, let’s leave the euphemisms at the door, examine the facts and find our national conscience.

Kermit Gosnell, like every other abortionist in this country, sold lies to young women like my mother. Two years after Roe v. Wade, my young parents made the incredibly difficult decision to reject those lies and protect my life. The impactful conversation with my mom just a few weeks ago made me wonder how many more fathers, wives, business owners, doctors and public servants are missing today because of abortion?

Since 1973, more than 55 million children have been killed before birth. I was just 40 miles from being one of them.”

“Reporter Covering Gosnell Murder Trial Changes His Mind on Abortion

by Steven Ertelt
Washington, DC
LifeNews.com
5/8/13

Local journalist J.D. Mullane has been the most dogged reporter following the murder trial of Kermit Gosnell. When most media outlets ignored the trial of the abortion practitioner, Mullane was there chronicling every day of it.

In a new interview with pro-life former governor and Fox News host Mike Huckabee, Mullane talks about how the power of what Gosnell did changed one reporter’s mind on abortion.

‘That’s the power of the Gosnell trial,’ he said.

‘There is one journalist sitting in that courtroom who writes for a local publication who has told me that he is very liberal, very pro-choice, but after sitting through the testimony in the Gosnell trial, he’s reconsidered. He’s changed his mind,’ Mullane says in the interview.

‘Gosnell pulls the curtain back from the inherent violence of abortion,’ Mullane said. ‘You can’t sit in that courtroom and learn about what abortion does to the unborn child and to the woman in many cases,’ the reporter explained to Huckabee. ‘You can’t sit there day after day and week after week and listen to that testimony and not be changed, and not have a change of heart, or at least reconsider your position.’

“Planned Parenthood is a Deceptive $1.5 Billion Abortion Business

by Anna Higgins

The public perception of Planned Parenthood tends to be favorable, even among those who identify themselves as pro-life. However, when confronted with the actual practices of the $1.5 billion ‘non-profit,’ those favorable opinions turn sour, for good reason.

Revealing the truth about the practices of Planned Parenthood is the goal of a new campaign by Alliance Defending Freedom.

http://www.alliancedefendingfreedom.org/

The campaign, ‘Pretty Ugly, Planned Parenthood’s deception of the American Public,’ is focused around four little-known truths about Planned Parenthood: that they 1) promote sexual promiscuity to children to create a customer; 2) promote abortion and enforce abortion quotas to drive funding; 3) keep health standards and overhead low, putting women at risk, and 4) they commit fraud by wasting and abusing taxpayer dollars.

Planned Parenthood is a business. They promote sexual promiscuity through advertisements and sex education curriculum to create a customer at a young age, which ensures financial stability and growth down the line. As sexual activity among the young rises, they will need the services of Planned Parenthood even more—from STD testing and eventually abortion. Abortion is big business, especially at Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider. Abortion, which costs $450/abortion (for first trimester abortion), makes up about half of Planned Parenthood’s revenue (Much of the rest comes from the federal government, other governments, and donations—it is considered to be a non-profit which is an obvious misnomer!—my addition). As of 2013, every Planned Parenthood affiliate is required to provide abortions and is given a required quota to fulfill.

Because it is a business, Planned Parenthood is very much focused on the bottom line. Implementing minimum health and safety standards is not always a priority because compliance can be costly. Across the nation, Planned Parenthood affiliates have been cited for various health and safety violations. Additionally, there is evidence that Planned Parenthood, which received $542 million from the federal government last year, has manipulated its records, increasing government reimbursements.

The truth about Planned Parenthood isn’t pretty—in fact, it’s pretty ugly. They prey on the circumstances of vulnerable women and children to make a profit. It’s time that Planned Parenthood is exposed for what they really are. Please visit www.ItsPrettyUgly.com
