Where are all the men?: The culpability of men in the abortion holocaust
http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/where-are-all-the-men-the-culpability-of-men-in-the-abortion-holocaust
“To boil the point down: men have an extraordinary but often unrecognized culpability in the barbaric practice of abortion happening thousands of times a day across North America. They are, in many ways, the invisible accomplices of the abortion industry while the debate rages around ‘women’s issues.’…”
“That some men think that sex is purely recreational and has no consequences is imbecilic and delusional.”
“That men would send their girlfriends, sisters, and wives to have their bodies violated in an absurd crime against nature and have their offspring dismembered is the most disgusting abrogation of responsibility by males in this century…”
The above article reminded me of some key factors that are usually involved in the so-called “CHOICE” of abortion:
EXPLOITATION – Abortion gives men the right to “use” women without consequences. Abortion exists so men can pursue a lifestyle of sexual irresponsibility without accountability. Abortion exploits women.
COERCION – Men often coerce women into believing that abortion is the only solution. Abortion provides an easy out for the man, certainly not for the woman. Women are often coerced into having abortions.
DECEPTION – Women are being deceived at the most basic level. The woman is deliberately deceived about the abortion itself, its effects on her and on her living, growing child.
VIOLENCE – After being used by men, women are then violated with the abortion cover-up. Abortion is a violent act against both the mother and the child. Blood is shed. There is one dead and one wounded.

Birth control pill alters women’s emotional memory: new research
http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/birth-control-pill-makes-womens-memories-more-emotional-new-research
“Women on the birth control pill are less likely to retain factual details in memories of emotional events…”
“Contraceptives suppress sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone to prevent pregnancy. Those hormones have previously been linked to women’s strong “left brain” memory…”
This study is similiar to other information I have heard. Women on the pill act like men.

Parents could be barred from knowing the sex of their unborn baby by European ruling
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/8754811/Parents-could-be-barred-from-knowing-the-sex-of-their-unborn-baby-by-European-ruling.html
“Medical staff should be instructed to “withhold information about the sex of the foetus” according to a draft resolution passed by a Council of Europe committee.”
“The plan is an attempt to prevent parents “selectively aborting” foetuses – usually female – as means of ‘choosing’ the sex of their child.”

Indians pay surgeons to turn girls into boys
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/india/8601488/Indians-pay-surgeons-to-turn-girls-into-boys.html
“Madhya Pradesh state government is investigating claims that up to 300 girls were surgically turned into boys in one city after their parents paid about £2,000 each for the operations.”
“India’s gender balance has already been tilted in favour of boys by female foeticide – sex selection abortions – by families who fear the high marriage costs and dowries they may have to pay. There are now seven million more boys than girls aged under six in the country.”

Quivering with Fear: A Review of ‘Quivering Daughters’
http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2011/juneweb-only/quiveringwithfear.html
“Idolatry of religion. This is perhaps the subtlest form of all. As McFarland puts it, ‘As a perfectionist who read the Bible every day and clung to commands to be perfect, holy, and to sin not, I committed idolatry. … I missed the voice that said Come to Me. Rest. I thought my obedience was the standard, not the love of Christ.’”

The War Against Girls
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303657404576361691165631366.html
“In China, India and numerous other countries (both developing and developed), there are many more men than women, the result of systematic campaigns against baby girls.”
“In India there are 112 boys born for every 100 girls. In China, the number is 121—though plenty of Chinese towns are over the 150 mark. China’s and India’s populations are mammoth enough that their outlying sex ratios have skewed the global average to a biologically impossible 107. But the imbalance is not only in Asia. Azerbaijan stands at 115, Georgia at 118 and Armenia at 120.”
“What is causing the skewed ratio: abortion. If the male number in the sex ratio is above 106, it means that couples are having abortions when they find out the mother is carrying a girl. By Ms. Hvistendahl’s counting, there have been so many sex-selective abortions in the past three decades that 163 million girls, who by biological averages should have been born, are missing from the world. Moral horror aside, this is likely to be of very large consequence.”
“If you peer hard enough at the data, you can actually see parents demanding boys. Take South Korea. In 1989, the sex ratio for first births there was 104 boys for every 100 girls—perfectly normal. But couples who had a girl became increasingly desperate to acquire a boy. For second births, the male number climbed to 113; for third, to 185. Among fourth-born children, it was a mind-boggling 209…”
“Today in India, the best predictor of violence and crime for any given area is not income but sex ratio.”

I watched MTV’s Impact: Abortion Stories last night. It was a collection of excerpts from personal interviews with young people affected by abortion. I couldn’t believe some of the honesty in their testimonies. The description of the fear and despair and hopelessness in their past was so hard to watch. I felt so sorry and sad for the young people on the program. Even though most of them said they made the right “choice”, the comments they made described a completely different story. Most of them seem to be in such a painful and pathetic place long after their abortions. I was so surprised that a pro-abortion program would allow such tragic stories in an attempt to make abortion acceptable. They call it a baby. But they still chose abortion.
Here is the program: http://www.mtv.ca/news/video_content.jhtml?id=1661646
(MTV is a station that I normally don’t watch. You could get pregnant just watching the ads! *a not funny joke*)
I am including the following photograph because it is “THE PICTURE” that has stuck in my head ever since I was a teenager – similar to the testimony of one of the first girls on the program. The full head of hair on this little aborted baby made a huge impact on me. Every time one of my own babies have laid in this position, I was reminded of this little baby. I used to carry the picture in my wallet more than twenty years ago. Consider the number of unborn babies killed since then. Some of you will be angry that I share this picture, but if a graphic photo helped that one girl become pro-life, I feel it is worth us feeling some discomfort.
Between the testimonies on MTV’s Impact: Abortion Stories, they threw in some propaganda intended to dispel myths. They said there are studies that back them up, but I have read studies that show they are lying.

Vatican to UN: stop treating having children as ‘something to be feared’
http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/vatican-to-un-stop-treating-having-children-as-something-to-be-feared
“‘Abandon policies that treat childbearing as ‘something to be feared rather than affirmed’ and marginalize the poor as ‘inconsequential objects’ whose populations should be reduced.”
“‘Unfortunately many discussions in the present day continue to be led by a false notion that, in the context of population growth, the very act of giving life is something to be feared rather than affirmed,’ stated Chullikatt.”
“‘Such thinking is based on a radical individualism which sees human reproduction as a commodity that must be regulated and improved in order to encourage greater market efficiency and development.’”
“‘These apprehensions contribute to the advancement of forms of reproductive technology which denigrate the nature of human sexuality,’ he said.”
