Break the Silence – Kermit Gosnell by the Numbers

April 13, 2013 By Nathan Cherry

The media has been silent on the trial of Kermit Gosnell. But his barbaric and illegal actions need shared so people can see what abortion is really about: money and killing. What this man did is beyond horrible and the fact that he knowingly performed illegal abortions and practices for money means he is little more than a war-lord, drug-kingpin, or pimp. The fact that Planned Parenthood has not condemned his actions shows they are complicit in his actions.

We are joining with our partners in Pennsylvania to share an infographic they have created outlining the details of Gosnell’s atrocities. Take a look at it, and then share it with others. Share in on Facebook, Twitter, by email. Share it in any way you can. Share it over and over so people can get a true picture of abortion.

We thank the Pennsylvania Family Institute for being dedicated to getting the news of this man’s illegal actions in the media – doing the job the mainstream media have ignored. Click here for original article.

Planned Parenthood Being Sued for Illegal Abortion

February 27, 2013 By Nathan Cherry

A woman is suing Planned Parenthood for what is being called an illegal late-term abortion. Ayanna Byer initially wanted the abortion but then told the doctors to stop after they did not give her anesthesia as they told her they would. The doctor told her it was “too late to stop” and proceeded to perform the abortion which ultimately resulted in a trip to the emergency room and an infection. A recent article explains the ordeal:

“Plaintiff immediately told the Planned Parenthood Doctor to stop and that she did not want to go through with the abortion procedure because she had not received any anesthetic. Plaintiff also informed Planned Parenthood Doctor and agents or employees of Planned Parenthood Defendants that she believed this to be a sign she should not go through with the abortion. The Planned Parenthood Doctor did not stop despite Plaintiff’s request, and assured Plaintiff the I.V. would be administered and the procedure would only take a few minutes. At this time, the Planned Parenthood Doctor turned on the vacuum machines and told Plaintiff it was too late to stop.” This is what Planned Parenthood calls “safe, legal, rare,” and “women’s health care.” Click here for original article.

Engaging Weekend: Boy Scout Leader Sodomizes Young Boy, Lawmakers Want to Ban Reparative Therapy for Minors, Focus President Makes Unsettling Comments on Marriage

December 3, 2012 By Nathan Cherry

Engaging Weekend is a collection of article you might have missed over the weekend. But we thought they were important and wanted to make sure you had a chance to read them.

Former Boy Scout leader arrested, charged with sodomizing boy

The Boy Scouts have come under fire in recent years for refusing to allow homosexuals into their membership or as leaders. But stories like this one should make it crystal clear why the Boy Scouts maintain this position and why parents of Scouts should support the Boy Scouts decision. After a Scoutmaster was accused of sodomy with an underage boy the Scouts responded: “The abuse of anyone, especially a child, is intolerable and our thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who may be a victim of this type of behavior…The behavior included in these allegations runs counter to everything for which the Boy Scouts of America stands…This individual has been removed from Scouting and has not been involved in the program for several months. He has been permanently banned from participating in the Scouting program.” We continue to support the Scouts and their position in defense of our sons that would be at risk if the policy was altered.

Another Victory in a War of Tiny Steps!

October 17, 2012 By Tom Stark

Now, minor girls will be almost as protected as the wildlife.

When ideological or political wars are waged, victories are measured in very small increments. Even more often, as in the war against abortion, battles are won, battles are lost, and progress is measured by individual cases and circumstances.

For that reason, there is reason for rejoicing today as Alaskahas joined the ranks of those states that protect their underage citizens from the predatory practices of Planned Parenthood (PP) and other abortion providers. According t0 CitizenLink, this elevation of status is at the hands of the Third Judicial District, Alaska Superior Court judge John Suddock who ruled that the law approved by voters in August of 2010 could stand with only two provisions removed.

The law was temporarily blocked by a lawsuit that was filed by, you guessed it, PP claiming the law was unconstitutional. In large part, Suddock apparently disagreed. You can read his actual ruling here.

Family Facing Fines for Hosting Home Bible Study

September 19, 2012 By Nathan Cherry

by Nathan A. Cherry, 09/19/2012

Cases are beginning to pop up all over the U.S. of people being fined and even imprisoned for hosting home Bible studies. I’m not talking about having 40 people over to have church in your home, though I would have no problem with that. I’m talking about 10 people getting together to study the Bible and pray, and host is being threatened with fines. The most recent case comes from Florida, as TheBlaze.com reports: “Now, there’s yet another case — this time involving a Florida family — that is capturing headlines. Like the aforementioned cases, Shane and Marlen Roessiger, of Venice, are being held accountable for hosting weekly, Friday night home Bible study meetings that include as many as 10 participants…The cost of their zoning violation amounts to $250 per day. In addition to holding the home studies, the Roessiger family is also under fire for posting a small sign in their front yard. It reads, ‘Need Prayer (941) 484-4915.’ The husband and wife, though, aren‘t taking the city’s response to their home Bible studies and personal yard sign without fighting back.” The husband correctly wonders how it is illegal for him to have a dozen people over to study the Bible and pray but not illegal to have the same people over to watch football. How many of us have had birthday parties with 20 people or more, Super Bowl parties, Mary Kay get together, or book clubs that involve more people. So why is it perfectly acceptable to do any of those things, but not to study the Bible and pray. This seems to be nothing more than religious discrimination to me. Click here for original article.

More of the Same from That Looney Left Coast…oops, West Coast!

September 12, 2012 By Tom Stark

By Tom Stark, 09/12/2012

As has become the expected rule in California, the state legislature, like the coffee, is Chocked Full of Nuts, and they have been working overtime to shell out more loony rules for people to live by should they find themselves residing in that state.

The most recent insanity prohibits “reparative therapy” to help minors disengage from the homosexual lifestyle. This refers to quite successful efforts by Christian and other therapists to assist young people who find themselves with unwanted same-sex attractions but want to rid themselves of the sin, guilt, and danger inherent therein. Countless numbers of kids have been successfully withdrawn from homosexuality and returned to healthy lifestyles through voluntary submission to such therapeutic efforts.

California Decides to Make It Illegal to Help Gay Youth

September 3, 2012 By Nathan Cherry

by Nathan A. Cherry, 09/03/2012

California generally does things that makes the rest of the country shake our heads and wonder what is wrong with them. At the same time, California can be a trend setter that unleashes a wave from it’s shores to the east; making it a state to be monitored carefully. Its no secret that California is hostile to religious groups and parental rights. But a new law awaiting signature from Gov. Jerry Brown is one for the record books. The new law says it is illegal for any licensed, professional mental health professional to engage in any kind of “conversion” or “reparative” therapy of homosexual minors; even if their parents encourage it. NARTH is vowing to challenge the law if signed by Gov. Brown, a recent article states: “The National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality has vowed to challenge the legislation in court if Brown signs it into law, calling it a ‘dangerous trend toward limiting the right of families to seek mental health care for some aspects of their children’s lives.’” Click here for original article.

CNN Poll Concludes Most Americans are Pro Life

September 27, 2011 By Nathan Cherry

Will Presidential Candidates listen to Americans on abortion?

by Nathan A. Cherry, 09/27/2011

Martinsburg, WV – as election campaigns heat up and races get more focused there will be a narrowing of issues leading back to some of the main concerns Americans continue to have. For conservatives – Republican and Democrat alike – one issue where common ground is found is on the issue of abortion. More than once surveys have shown broad bi-partisan support for limiting abortion and a recent CNN Poll is no different.

Americans stand strong in favor of life

This new CNN Poll concludes, nearly the same as an earlier Gallup Poll did, that nearly two-thirds (62%) of Americans want to see a majority of abortions made illegal. It would be hard to argue that the findings reflect only Republican or even conservative American opinion. The issue of abortion has taken on a political position all its own as both Democrats and Republicans are tired to seeing innocent children killed and millions of dollars wasted in the form of Planned Parenthood and other abortion business funding.

Consider these findings from the CNN Poll:

*The survey found 25 percent of Americans want all abortions legal while 21 percent want all abortions illegal, and it had a large group of 53 percent of Americans saying abortions should be legal only under certain circumstances.

*In total, 62 percent of Americans want all or most abortions to be prohibited while only 37 percent of Americans want all or most abortions kept legal — the position of President Barack Obama and Planned Parenthood, the nation’s biggest abortion business.

Amazon.com Promotes Child Abuse then Defends Their Decision

November 11, 2010 By Nathan Cherry

By Nathan A. Cherry,

Are they helping criminals hurt children?

Martinsburg, WV – A firestorm of outrage has been ignited across the country as a result of the decision by Amazon.com to sell a guidebook on pedophilia. The book, “The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure” was listed on the retail giant’s Kindle Store after being published last month.

If your blood isn’t boiling already take a look at what the author wrote as a description to this book:

“This is my attempt to make pedophile situations safer for those juveniles that find themselves involved in them, by establishing certain [sic] rules for these adults to follow. I hope to achieve this by appealing to the better nature of pedosexuals, with hope that their doing so will result in less hatred and perhaps liter sentences should they ever be caught.”

Where, oh where do I start?!

First, the author says he would like to make “pedophile situations safer for those juveniles that find themselves involved in them.” Well how considerate of the author. I am so warmed by the fact that he wants to make sure that kids being abused are safe. It really brings a tear to my eye to know that he has such concern for the innocent children that will be molested or raped by adults engaging in illegal and perverted acts.

Notice how the author tries to demoralize the illegal actions of pedophiles by calling them “pedosexuals.” As seems to be the trend in our society, in order to get people – particularly those that may become sympathetic to an ostracized group – to affirm and accept an “alternate lifestyle,” a “sexual orientation,” all you need to do is find a term that really sounds respectable. So instead of calling them pedophiles we will now call them “pedosexuals.” Because, after all, this is their sexual orientation and a lifestyle that should be given the same respect and rights as others, right?
