Vote Pat Roggensack

Wisconsin Right to Life has endorsed incumbent Justice Pat Roggensack in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

Barbara Lyons, Executive Director of Wisconsin Right to Life, writes:

In an extremely important State Supreme Court race, the Wisconsin Right to Life Political Action Committee has endorsed incumbent Justice Pat Roggensack. Roggensack has served for the past ten years with distinction in this critical position. Her judicial philosophy is to respect the law and the Constitution rather that to create new law from the bench.

Roggensack faces two opponents in the February 19 primary election. Ed Fallone is an outspoken proponent of embryo-destroying embryonic stem cell research and is considered to be anti-life for that reason. The third candidate in the race is Vince Megna whose position is unknown. The two candidates who receive the most votes in the February 19 primary will face off in the April 2 general election.

Wisconsin Right to Life PAC urges everyone to vote for Pat Roggensack on February 19 and April 2.

There is no question that Pat Roggensack is the most qualified candidate in this race.

We can trust her to respect the rule of law.

Happy 40th Anniversary, BABY!

This ad, from the Center for Reproductive Rights, is absolutely disgusting, everything about it.

(Hat tip Brian Fraley, RedState)



"Oh, hey, BABY. Did you think I forgot? I didn't forget. How could I ever forget our anniversary?"

The winking, the smirking, the creepy, demonic laughing -- unbelievable. The racial undertones are disturbing as well.

I don't see how this ad could appeal to anyone.

Repeatedly referring to Roe v. Wade as "baby" is shockingly insensitive and callous.

"Show your love" for abortion?

Truly sick.

Democrats and Roe v. Wade: 'It Was a Great Day For Women'

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee exploits the slaughter of the unborn for its political gain.

It's sick.

Mary — Forty years ago today, the monumental Roe v. Wade decision made abortion safe and legal.

It was a great day for women across our country. But every single day since, Republicans have fought to chip away at abortion rights.

Their GOP Platform now pledges to completely restrict all abortions, and Republicans have continuously voted to defund women’s health programs to make it happen. Today, the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade should remind us to never stop fighting!

If your support for a woman’s right to an abortion is unwavering, click here and show your support for Roe v. Wade. Today, let’s get 100,000 grassroots signatures and show the Republicans that we’ll never let up on abortion rights!

Thanks for your help,
Julia Ager
DSCC Rapid Response

The Dems say, "It was a great day for women across our country."

It wasn't a great day for the tens of millions of female babies lost to abortion.

Do these pro-abortion advocates ever think about the millions upon millions of women never allowed to be born? Do they ever think about the impact those millions and millions lives may have had?

Forty years of death is nothing to celebrate.

Roe v. Wade: 40 Years Later

Feet of a 10-week-old fetus

During his first term as president, Obama broke promise after promise. One thing he never wavered on was his radical anti-life, pro-abortion stance.

On the campaign trail in 2008, he made no secret of the fact that he would not protect the weak, the vulnerable, and the unborn.

OBAMA: I've got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old. I'm gonna teach them first of all about values and morals. But, if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby.

PASTOR RICK WARREN: At what point does a baby get human rights, in your view?

OBAMA: Well, you know, I think that whether you're looking at it from a theological perspective or a scientific perspective, uh, answering that question with specificity, uh, you know is, is, uh, above my pay grade.

Obama began his assault on human life within days after assuming office in 2009.

On January 23, 2009, Obama signed an executive order to overturn the "Mexico City Policy."

Obama is the most radical pro-abortion president in our history.

He considers a human life to be a "punishment."

I can't grasp what it's like to think of a new life in those terms, that it's expendable when inconvenient, that it's a cruel burden.

Over fifty-five million precious, innocent lives have been aborted since Roe v. Wade. They were never allowed to take their first breath let alone grow up. They were killed before having the chance to know what it's like to love and be loved.

Their mothers made the choice not to be "punished" rather than cradle their babies in their arms.

Do you think of your being, the gift of life, as a "punishment"?

Obama does.

The past 40 years have been marked by death, murder on demand.

The loss of life ushered in by Roe v. Wade is so overwhelming it's difficult to comprehend.

The pro-abortion proponents, like Obama, are celebrating today.

I am not. I cannot celebrate the slaughter.

Today, I'm mourning 55,000,000 lives.

Scott Walker: 'Protect Life Day'

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker has proclaimed today "Protect Life Day."

View the proclamation here.

Read the proclamation:

WHEREAS; 40 years have elapsed since the infamous January 22, 1973, U.S. Supreme Court decision which legalized abortion for any reason for the full nine months of pregnancy in all of the United States; and

WHEREAS; it is the first and primary duty of the government to protect its citizens, a role which the Court usurped from the states; and

WHEREAS; more than 55 million unborn children have expired from abortions nationally, a human rights abuse unprecedented in American history; and

WHEREAS; more than 540,000 of Wisconsin's unborn children are lost to Wisconsin families, and their skills and talents are lost to the state of Wisconsin; and

WHEREAS; countless mothers, fathers, families, and society as a whole have suffered devastating consequences from this wholesale destruction of human life; and

WHEREAS; the future of our state and country depend on protection of the weakest members of the human family;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Scott Walker, Governor of the State of Wisconsin, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, January 22, 2013, as

PROTECT LIFE DAY

throughout the state of Wisconsin and I commend this observance to all of our citizens.

"[M]ore than 55 million unborn children have expired from abortions nationally, a human rights abuse unprecedented in American history."

Does that reality haunt the supporters of "choice"?

How can they ignore the SCIENCE of human development?

Embracing the Culture of Death is a horrific act.

Our mission for every day should be to protect life.

Blog for Choice Day 2013

Tomorrow is Blog for Choice Day 2013.

It's a NARAL event.

Blog for Choice Day gets more people reading and talking about reproductive rights online on one of the most important days surrounding a woman’s right to choose: the anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade decision, when the Supreme Court ruled that abortion should be legal. Your participation in Blog for Choice Day lets your readers and the mainstream media know that a woman's right to choose is a core progressive value that must be protected.

As you know, reproductive rights were a critical issue in the presidential election. Thanks to you, we helped re-elect pro-choice President Barack Obama and defeated some of the most extreme and outspoken anti-choice candidates. But our opponents aren’t backing down, and we need to be ready for any attempt to take away women’s access to safe, legal abortion and birth control.

It’s our personal stories that change hearts and minds about the importance of always protecting a woman’s right to choose. That’s why this year we’re asking you to share your story about why you’re pro-choice.

Sign up below to let us know that you plan to write a blog post on January 22 about why you’re pro-choice. We will also promote your blog through our outreach efforts to our supporters.

• Tag your posts with "Blog for Choice" to show all your readers that you're joining in.

Personal stories about killing one's unborn child?

Those will "change hearts and minds about the importance of always protecting a woman’s right to choose"?

Good grief.

The fact is protecting "choice" means protecting the slaughter of the unborn. "Choosing" abortion is "choosing" to kill.

I don't say that as an "extreme and outspoken anti-choice" person. I say it because it's REALITY.

Let's be honest about the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade.

This really is about celebrating the killing of human life. Tens of millions of unique human beings have been slaughtered under the guise of CHOICE.

To counter this perverse celebration, people who respect life and value the unborn are responding to "Blog for Choice Day" with "Ask Them What They Mean When They Say 'Choice' Blog Day."



Jill Stanek writes:

Every year NARAL uses the anniversary of the day abortion was legalized throughout the United States to promote "choice."

And for the last two years pro-lifers have not let them get away with obfuscating what that "choice" actually is.

We devote the day online to calling abortion proponents out - writing our own blog posts on the real meaning of "choice," commenting on their blog posts, and questioning all their Facebook and Twitter blather.

We will also make good use of their designated Twitter hashtag, #Tweet4Choice.

The use of the word "choice" by the pro-abortion movement is so insidious. It's cowardly.

If they're so proud to support the killing of the unborn, why are they afraid to be clear about what it is they're "choosing"? Why hide the reality of abortion by softening the language?

"Choice" means killing a unique, one and only, human life.

If one is pro-choice, one is pro-abortion. "Choice" equals death, the mother's "choice" to intentionally kill her unborn child.

That's what it means.

Let's not play word games.

Let's be honest.

NARAL is promoting "Blog for Killing the Unborn Day."

FACT: "Choice" means choosing death for one's child.

The anniversary of Roe v. Wade is the darkest of days. It stands as a reminder of over 55 MILLION birthdays never celebrated.

Graeme Zielinski, Paul Ryan, and Catholics

Graeme Zielinski, spokesman for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, likes to tout his devotion to the Catholic Church.

He also is the first to throw stones at others.

This self-proclaimed holy man tweets some of the most vile, despicable stuff.

Yesterday and today, Zielinski has exploited his faith to target Paul Ryan.

Examples:

"And the first shall be first and the last shall be last."-the Gospel According to @reppaulryan #phony

— Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) January 5, 2013

"And he looked upon Lazarus and said, Youhippie MOOCH!"-the Gospel According to @reppaulryan #phony

— Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) January 5, 2013

Mother of Wounds, pray for the souls of those politicians who would wrap themselves in Your glory to justify offenses against the Poor.

— Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) January 5, 2013

BVM, visit @reppaulryan during one of his self-love P90X sessions, make him know it is not just hedge fund managers who need your mercy

— Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) January 5, 2013

Practicing Catholics should be angry @reppaulryan is going around wrapping himself in a faith he controverts with his public life.

— Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) January 5, 2013

In his offenses against the poor and the weak, @reppaulryan must rightfully fear the avenging anger of Heaven.

— Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) January 5, 2013

Before he takes The Host this weekend, I hope @reppaulryan pauses to reflect on his wicked conduct toward the poor and the weak.

— Graeme Zielinski (@gjzielinski) January 5, 2013

Unbelievable.

As a practicing Catholic, I find Zielinski's conduct reprehensible.

He's exploiting the faith to score political points and take swipes at a political opponent.

To talk about what the "wicked" Paul Ryan should be thinking when he receives the Body of Christ at Mass is disgusting.

I can't stand Zielinski using the Church to lash out politically, given that he utterly ignores one of the most fundamental Catholic teachings - respecting human life from conception to natural death.

Yes, Zielinski is trashing Paul Ryan; but I find his comments to be extremely offensive to me personally as a Catholic.

Apparently, Zielinski and I have a very different understanding of what it means to live our faith.

Ann Romney - The View - Military Service (Video)

Ann Romney appeared on The View this morning.

Needless to say, The View's liberal cabal didn't go easy on Mrs. Romney.

From FOX News:

Whoopi Goldberg barely let Ann Romney settle into her seat on ABC's "The View" before pouncing on the first lady hopeful, asking why Mitt Romney didn't serve in Vietnam and if the couple is prepared to console families of fallen soldiers if voted into the White House.

Unlike a recent joint appearance on the show by President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama during which questioning ranged from how romantic is the president to the couple's anniversary, the show's five hosts skipped the softball questions and got right into red meat — including military service, abortion and the Romneys' Mormon faith.

When the Obamas' appearance aired on Sept. 25, the panel stuck to questions about the First Couple's 20th wedding anniversary and whether or not President Obama is "romantic," though they did query Obama lightly about the murder of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, which the president declined to characterize at the time as an act of terrorism.

Romney, 63, clad in a red dress and gold jewelry, was initially scheduled to appear with her husband, who backed out citing a scheduling conflict, according to host Barbara Walters. But his wife deftly deflected her husband's description of the female klatch as "sharp-tongued," saying the candidate called the women "sharp and young." Moments later, Goldberg asked Romney if her husband's Mormon faith precluded him or their five sons from serving in the military and whether the Romneys would be prepared to console relatives of fallen U.S. soldiers. Many Mormons serve in the military and the faith does not bar them from doing so.

“He was serving his mission and my five sons also served [on] missions,” Ann Romney replied. “We find different ways of serving.”

Asked how she would explain to relatives of the fallen soldiers that her sons did not serve in the U.S. military, she continued, "I would say it’s the hardest thing that a president and a first lady can do. We have the most extraordinary fighting men and women and we have to be grateful for them.”

Walters grilled Romney on abortion, and stem cell research, but noted she is not the one running for office.

“I am pro-life and I’m happy to say that,” said Ann Romney when asked by Walters if her thoughts on the issue changed like her husband of 43 years. “When a decision came across his desk to use embryos for experimentation, he could not have, on his conscience, created human life for experimentation.

“The most important thing we can do is have respect for each other in this dialogue. This is a tender, tender issue”

Following Walters’ initial question on abortion, co-host Joy Behar asked Ann Romney about women’s access to contraception, prompting Romney to say: “I would love if you could get my husband on the couch, Joy.”

Romney continued: “What I know is I am here to reflect the character of the person I know. Every decision he will make … [will be based on] is this is the best thing for America to go forward? I think I know where his heart is.”

This really pisses me off.

The Leftists have been bitching about the lack of military service by Mitt Romney and his sons since the 2008 campaign.

Read about Mike Wallace accusing Mitt and sons of being chicken hawks in a 2007 interview on 60 Minutes.

Did Whoopi Goldberg grill Obama the Hawk about his lack of service?

He's the one bragging about killing Osama bin Laden and hunting down terrorists. He's the one shamelessly trying to score political points by constantly referring to greeting the coffins of terrorism victims and our war dead.

Why didn't Obama serve? Why didn't Michelle serve?

Michelle has been yapping incessantly about how much she cares for our military.

Why didn't Michelle enlist? What stopped her?

Did Whoopi ask?

No way.

It's disgraceful.

Ann Romney is so classly and so smart. She can handle the Leftist old bitties on The View. She did handle their swipes beautifully, with dignity and humor and grace.

Just by being herself, Mrs. Romney made Goldberg, Walters, and the others in the cabal look cheap and small and desperate.

Here's video of Goldberg questioning Mrs. Romney.

Hey, Whoopi! How does Obama talk to mothers of the dead without explaining to them that he hasn't served?

More video here.

Mitt Romney and Abortion

Mitt Romney is pro-life.

Obama is pro-abortion. He's the most radical pro-abortion president in the history of the United States.



Today, in an editorial, Obama mouthpiece the New York Times is showing its desperation to stop women from bailing on Obama, because we all know how much women love abortion.

New York Times: Romney "would move to take away a fundamental right that American women have had for nearly 40 years.” OFA.BO/3MuLBt
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) October 16, 2012

It is no secret that Mitt Romney and his running-mate, Representative Paul Ryan, are opponents of abortion rights. When Mr. Ryan was asked at last week’s debate whether voters who support abortion rights should be worried if the Romney-Ryan ticket were elected, he essentially said yes.

They would depart slightly from the extremist Republican Party platform by allowing narrow exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the woman. Beyond that, they would move to take away a fundamental right that American women have had for nearly 40 years.

Mr. Romney has called for overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that recognized a woman’s constitutional right to make her own childbearing decisions and to legalized abortion nationwide. He has said that the issue should be thrown back to state legislatures. The actual impact of that radical rights rollback is worth considering.

It would not take much to overturn the Roe decision. With four of the nine members of the Supreme Court over 70 years old, the next occupant of the White House could have the opportunity to appoint one or more new justices. If say, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the oldest member, retired and Mr. Romney named a replacement hostile to abortion rights, the basic right to abortion might well not survive.

This is BS.

As long as the John "Let's call ObamaCare a tax" Roberts is around, Roe v. Wade isn't going anywhere.

"The basic right to abortion" - how offensive is that?

Is the "basic right to abortion" a God-given right?

In any event, before Roe v. Wade, abortion was legal in this country. If it were overturned, abortion would still be legal. It would be an issue for the states. Wow. That's scary.

I don't consider the slaughter of the unborn a "fundamental right."

That's ghoulish.

LIFE, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

I guess the pro-abortion contingent considers killing the weak, the vulnerable, and the unborn pursuing happiness.

October 14 Mass and Pilgrimage for Life and Liberty

From the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops:

WASHINGTON—A Mass and Pilgrimage for Life and Liberty at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington is slated for Sunday, Oct. 14 at 12 noon EDT. Archbishop William E. Lori of Baltimore, chairman of the U.S. bishops’ Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty, will celebrate the liturgy and pilgrimage as part of the U.S. bishops’ annual Respect Life prayer campaign. His homily will focus on the noted quote from Thomas Jefferson: “The god who gave us life gave us liberty.”

Mass will be preceded by time for confessions starting at 10 a.m. Following Mass, there will be Eucharistic Adoration. Shortly thereafter, attendees will recite the rosary as part of the first day of the Rosary Novena for Life and Liberty. At the conclusion of the rosary, Archbishop Lori will offer a 10-minute reflection. The event will conclude with benediction at 2:30 p.m. EWTN television will carry the Mass and Pilgrimage live.

Further details about the October prayer campaign can be found at www.usccb.org/freedom. Resources include the downloadable Rosary Novena for Life and Liberty, recommended for use by individuals or groups from October 14-22, and a Holy Hour for Life and Liberty. The resources provide assistance during the Year of Faith which begins October 11. Among materials are those to help people learn more about courageous forebears in the faith and to follow their example. Particular emphasis will be given to two saints to be canonized October 21: Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, a young Mohawk woman to become the first Native American saint, and Blessed Marianne Cope, a German nun from the Sisters of St. Francis of Syracuse, N.Y., who aided St. Damien of Molokai in ministering to lepers in Hawaii.

Catholics and the 2012 Election

During the vice presidential debate, the very Catholic Joe Biden lied to the American people about the HHS mandate.

He knowingly misled Americans. He flat-out lied about the Obama administration's assault on religious liberty.

I think he needs to do some soul-searching.

I think Catholic supporters of Obama and Biden need to do some soul-searching.



We need our religious liberty and rights of conscience restored.

We need to elect Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.

Obama: Abortion, Infanticide

Melissa Ohden's biological mother and her biological mother's doctor tried to kill her.

But she survived. Crying amid the medical waste, she was saved by a caring nurse.

Obama, the most radical pro-abortion president in our history, declared himself in favor of Melissa's murder.

I know that sounds extreme. But you know what? It sounds extreme because that's what Obama and like-minded people are when it comes to late-term abortion and infanticide.



Transcript

MELISSA OHDEN: I'm going to tell you something you might not know. Many children, more than you might think, actually survive failed abortions and are born alive.

I know, because I'm one of them.

​I was aborted, and my body discarded, like I didn't exist. But a nurse heard me crying and cared enough to save my life.

There's something else you may not know.

When he was in the Illinois State Senate, Barack Obama voted to deny basic constitutional protections for babies born alive from an abortion. Not once, but four times.

I know it's by the grace of God I'm alive today, if only to ask America this question:

Is this the kind of leadership that will move us forward, that would discard the weakest among us?

How will you answer?

That's an incredibly powerful ad.

As Obama and the Democrats try to paint Republicans as extreme when it comes to their pro-life position, it should be pointed out that Obama and his cohorts are the true extremists.

They would have a baby born alive due to a botched abortion left to die. They would give no protection to a living, breathing infant.

That's not abortion. It's infanticide.

That's what Russ Feingold, former U.S. senator fired by the wise people of Wisconsin in 2010, supports.

That's what Obama supports.

So who is the extremist in this presidential race?

Mitt Romney or Obama?

Obama does not believe that an abortion survivor has the right to live. His judgment and his character are that terribly flawed. As a man, he's so twisted that he refuses to acknowledge that baby is a human being and should be protected.

Obama's position on abortion goes far beyond that issue. It reveals dramatically more about him as a person and his qualifications to serve as the leader of our great country.
________________

Learn more about Melissa Ohden. Please watch this.



What would Obama say to Melissa Ohden? What would Michelle Obama say to her? What would Tammy Baldwin, a pro-abortion radical, say? What would all the pro-abortionists say?

Looking into her eyes, speaking face to face, what would they say to Melissa?

Sorry?

I can't imagine.

As a Catholic, as a caring human being, as a mother, I can't imagine supporting the slaughter of the unborn, the weak, and the vulnerable.

The pro-abortion position is NOT compassionate. It's not.
