Vaccines & Population Control

In a speech titled "Innovating to Zero" Bill Gates said, "First we got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That's headed up to about 9 billion. Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we can lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 %." What? Lower what? People? Which specific people?

 

Wow! One of the most powerful men in the world, Mr. Gates, clearly stating that he expects vaccines to be used to reduce population growth? I thought vaccines were supposed to be used to prevent disease. Bill Gates, in January of 2010, at the Davos World Economic Forum, announced his foundation would give 10 billion dollars over the next ten years, to develop and deliver new vaccines to children in the developing world.

 

The primary focus of Bill Gate's foundation is vaccinations, especially in Africa and other underdeveloped countries. Bill and his wife, Melinda, are founding members of the GAVI Alliance (this alliance is for vaccinations and immunizations). They partner with the World Health Organization and the vaccine industry. The goal of GAVI is to vaccinate every newborn child in the developing world.

Are you scared yet? If not, there's something wrong with you. Or are you on the protected species list?

 

How can vaccines reduce population? Here is a case scenario. Have you seen the move, "The Constant Gardner"? If not, get it. Watch it. The vaccine industry has been repeatedly caught using dangerous vaccines and sending them to third world countries. What do we mean by dangerous? We mean, untested or proven harmful vaccines, which cannot be used in the West.

 

Bill Gates' interest in reducing population ,among Blacks and other minorities, is not new. the idea of using vaccines to reduce births in the third world, is also not new. The Rockefeller Foundation has been involved since 1972. They are in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO). Together they perfected new vaccines. The results of the WHO-Rockefeller Project is as follows. The WHO oversaw massive a vaccination campaign against tetanus in Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines. A Roman Catholic Lay organization became suspicious of the WHO program, and decided to test numerous phials of the vaccine, and found them to contain Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin or HCG. What? ! ! ! HCG is a natural hormone, needed to maintain a pregnancy. However, when combined with a tetanus toxoid, it stimulates formation of antibodies against HCG, rendering women who receive the vaccine, incapable of maintaining a pregnancy. This is a form of concealed abortion. Similar reports of vaccines laced with HCG hormones came from the Philippines and Nicaragua.

 

More on vaccine and population reduction to follow in future blogs. Stay tuned.

2010 Could Be A Good Year For Life

Here in Lake County, we have an opportunity to make some improvements in government.

In the aftermath of the Republican primary, some genuinely pro-life candidates have been nominated in important races. As people who place importance on issues like abortion, euthanasia, embryo-destructive stem cell research, defense of marriage, and the other life issues, it's now up to us, over the next eight months, to come out and support pro-life candidates for every possible office. Here are three examples:

After the closest primary in Illinois history, by a margin of less than 200 votes out of about three quarters of a million votes cast, the Republicans have nominated State Senator Bill Brady for Governor.

It was a gubernatorial race that featured seven candidates, six of whom were, at least to some extent, pro-life. The exception dropped out of the race about a month in advance, and Brady, the only one endorsed by both the Illinois Federation for Right to Life and also Illinois Citizens for Life, came out the winner.

Brady was also the only candidate from outside the Chicagoland area. He was able to use this fact to dominate the race in downstate areas, while his five opponents divided up Cook and the collar counties.

But this means that Brady now has the important challenge of reaching out to voters in Cook and the collar counties, and securing their -- our -- support. And presently he has little money with which to do this. Brady, quite frankly, did very poorly in Lake County, and Republican and conservative voters need to unify behind his candidacy. For pro-lifers and social conservatives, this should present little problem. Brady is unabashedly one of us, and I think very few of those who (like me) supported different candidates in the primary should have any difficulty supporting him. But we must take the initiative in reaching out to our friends and neighbors, and even the folks in line at the grocery store, and telling them about Bill Brady.

And you can meet and hear Brady when he comes to Lake County for our event on April 10th.

Another pro-life winner in the GOP primary was 8th district congressional candidate Joe Walsh. Winner over a third of the vote in a six-way race, Walsh is enthusiastically pro-life. So much so, in fact, that the local media has already taken out after him. But don't be distracted. Melissa Bean, having run and won three times as a fiscal conservative and a "social moderate" has proved herself to be liberal on both fronts, voting for bailouts, takeovers, and healthcare, and opposing the Stupak amendment, which removed abortion funding from the House version of the President's healthcare bill. Joe Walsh in Congress would be a friend and ally of pro-lifers, someone who would fight against the pro-abortion forces in both parties.. Walsh will also be speaking at our April 10th event.

In the 59th state House District, attorney Dan Sugrue polled over 60% in a three-way primary to win the GOP nomination to that seat. Sugrue, too will be targeted for his pro-life positions, and will need the support of pro-life Lake County people. The 59th District is currently reprsented by Democrat Carol Sente, who was appointed to take the place of Kathy Ryg after Ryg resigned last August to take a job with a children's advocacy group. Ryg was another FOCA supporter, and pro-lifers held a prayer vigil at her office in 2009. There's no reason to suppose that Sente doesn't have the same pro-abortion stance. Dan is a friend of mine, and will be a good improvement in Springfield. You can hear Dan speak at our April 10th event, as well.

The Revolution Will Not Be Live-Tweeted...

... After All!

It seems that in her desire to show people how safe, easy and comfortable legal abortions can really be, Angie Jackson decided to live-tweet her RU-486 abortion.

In the event, it turned out not to be the brief afternoon picnic she envisioned. Jill Stanek has the story:

Be careful what you attempt to demystify.

At 4:08 p.m. on Feb. 18 micro-blogger Angie Jackson began posting the blow-by-blows of her RU-486 abortion on Twitter. "I took the first pill a little under 2 hours ago," she tweeted.

The 27-year-old's intention, she later told ABC News, was to "demystify" RU-486 abortions.

Jackson had announced her pregnancy on Twitter Feb. 13, even before telling the boyfriend ("BF") she and her 4-year-old son have been living with since last December.

BF was on board with aborting his offspring, so when it came down to which type, four-weeks pregnant Jackson chose the RU-486 at-home medical abortion, which the FDA states can be prescribed up to 49 days, or seven weeks, after the first day of a mother's last period.

RU-486 abortions are the coming rage, much less hassle for abortion profiteers than surgical abortions. The mother takes an RU-486 pill (aka mifepristone or mifeprex) at the clinic, which kills the baby, and follows up at home with one or two doses of cytotec (aka misoprostol) pills to cause contractions to expel the baby. All for $480, as Angie tweeted.

The bonus for abortion clinics is if an RU-486 abortion doesn't work, which occurs 7.9 percent of the time according to RU-486's label, there is no guarantee, so mothers must then undergo and pay for surgical abortions – abortion double-dipping.

Notwithstanding that, along with serious, life-threatening complications that can lead to death, as has happened at least eight times in the U.S. since RU-486 was legalized in 2000, are RU-486 abortions generally less hassle for aborting moms?

Jackson thought so, basing her decision on the fact her abortion would "be over in 4-8 hrs," as she initially tweeted, and done in the comfort of her home, since she was frightened of surgery.

After visiting her local Planned Parenthood, Jackson again tweeted her abortion experience would be a "4 hour bleed-out," so this was apparently the official teaching Angie received.

But the first rule of demystifying is one must herself be demystified before attempting to demystify. If not, the demystifying process may not go as anticipated, which is what happened in Jackson's case.

Only because Angie decided to live tweet her RU-486 abortion did we learn in actuality it's a long, drawn out, painful process. For that reason I thought Angie's exposé was a worthwhile educational experience for us all.

Here are some common adverse reactions, according to the RU-486 packaging:

Nearly all of the women … will report adverse reactions, and many … report more than one. … 80 to 90 percent of women reported bleeding more heavily than they do during a heavy menstrual period. … Women also typically experience abdominal pain, including uterine cramping. Other commonly reported side effects were nausea, vomiting and diarrhea … pelvic pain, fainting, headache, dizziness... fatigue... back pain...

That's sobering enough on paper, but how does reality play out?

For nine days, from Feb. 19-27, Jackson tweeted about such severe cramps she had difficulty walking across the room. She went through 17 Vicodin in six days and at a point soon after requesting a prescription for another 20.

Jackson tweeted nausea, vomiting, backaches, headaches and bleeding. Five days into her abortion experience, Angie commented on another blog, "Honestly I had no idea this would go on so long. I thought the entire abortion would take a few hours, as I'd read in a few stories. ..."

At the bottom of this column you can read what Jackson's suffering looked like in real time, where I've synopsized nine days of her tweets.

Planned Parenthood obviously did not explain the reality of an RU-486 abortion to Jackson, nor did any of her other sources.

But Edouard Sakiz, former chairman of Roussel Uclaf, the company that developed RU-486, stated:

As abortifacient procedures go, RU-486 is not at all easy to use. ... True, no anesthetic is required. But a woman who wants to end her pregnancy has to "live" with her abortion for at least a week using this technique. It's an appalling psychological ordeal.

Dr. Etienne-Emile Baulieu, who invented RU-486, stated:

It's insulting to women to say that abortion now will be as easy as taking aspirins. It is always difficult, psychologically and physically, sometimes tragic.

Jackson stopped tweeting her symptoms on Feb. 27, when she realized I was reposting them on my blog. But she wrote the evening of March 2, "In real life, I had a terrible day & don't wanna talk about it."

So whatever the physical, emotional, psychological toll Jackson has endured up to this point, it's not over.

See the rest of the story here.

I still don't get it. If abortion is such a wonderful thing, why should it be "tragic" or a "psychological ordeal"? What other rights do we describe in such terms?

As for Miss Jackson, let's pray for her.

Abortion Will Kill Obama's Healthcare Reform

I've predicted for months now that abortion will be the death of the President's healthcare reform bill. Now it's happening:

Now that President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress have officially decided to use reconciliation to force the Senate pro-abortion health care bill through the House, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi begins the task of finding enough votes for the bill to get it approved on a majority vote.

However, in part because of the massive abortion funding and other pro-abortion problems with the Senate bill, she my not get there.

The House could vote on the bill as early as March 19 and some Democrats who voted for the House version of the bill, which was approved on a very narrow margin, have already said they are either undecided on the bill or may vote no.

Rep. Bart Stupak, the respected pro-life Democrat, confirmed this week he will not vote for the Senate bill and as many as 10-12 pro-life Democrats who voted yes on the House bill may join him.

The House approved its bill 220-215 and the defection of Stupak and those 10-12 Democrats would be enough to defeat the measure. Add pro-life Republican Rep. Anh Cao of Louisiana, the only GOP lawmaker to back the House bill, to the mix and Pelosi is even further behind the eight ball.

Obama and top Democrats hope to sweeten the pot with the language in the reconciliation bill but Stupak told the Wall St. Journal that he and other Democrats won't bite.

"We're not going to walk the plank again just to see the Senate shut us down," he said.

“You're going to make members vote for a bill that’s going to be hung around your neck come Election Day,” he said. “After sending so much legislation to the Senate, we just don't trust that they're going to do it.”

But today, Rep. Michael Arcuri, New York Democrat, told media outlets that he has changed his mind and is now firmly in the no column after voting yes before. [Emphasis added.]

Who would have thought that pro-life Democrats in the House would be the ones to stop this bill? But they will be.

Changes to the blog

We've been making some cosmetic and other changes to the blog, and will continue to do so, and we intend for there to be more traffic here. Please feel free to leave a comment, click on the sidebar to become a follower of the blog, or subscribe to our RSS feed.

Rationing in the Health Care Plan

The current Senate Health Care Bill includes President Obama's proposals. We know that these proposals will fund abortion on demand through Community Health Centers. A second deadly concern is rationing of health care. An economic principle is in play here. Price controls on health care will cause rationing.

 

The Obama Administration, as well as a majority of Democrats in the Congress, are commited to an assault on human life. President Obama owes Planned Parenthood and other national pro-abortion groups his presidency. It's pay-back time. Pay-back, in spite of the overwhelming number of Americans, who do not want National Health Care.

 

One sixteenth of our economy is in health care. The government already owns the banks, car dealers, credit card companies, investment firms and mortgage companies. If the government can control health care, they can control the country. We will become socialized members of a socialized state. That's what's at stake. But life is at stake too.

 

Under the President's proposal, federal and or state government agencies, would be empowered to review and reject premiums charged by any health insurance plan. Rhetoric to the contrary, there is no grand-fathering clause for health care plans, which Americans currently hold.

 

To simplify, the primary duty of the government bureaucracies running health care reimbursements, is to hold health care spending down. This means, that we will have government officials canceling our personal health care decisions, in an effort to balance quality of treatment against cost of treatment. In other words, medicine will be all protocol. If treatment doesn't fit the protocol it won't be delivered. Protocols in medicine are a set-up for error. I can just see all the trial lawyers suing doctors for not providing standard of care treatment, because they must operate under protocol. It's an Obama nightmare.

 

Putting it all together, the end result is denial of life-saving diagnostic tests and treatments, because there's no money. I don't think America wants that kind of health care reform. And that's just the beginning of what's in the bill.

Human Services Committee to Take Up Illinois FOCA Bill This Week - UPDATED

UPDATE (3/2/10, 3:15 PM): We're told that the committee will be holding a hearing on this bill in the Capitol next week, on March 10th. Be there if you can!
______________________________

The Human Services Committee of the Illinois General Assembly will be taking up the Illinois FOCA bill this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow.

If you were involved in fighting against this bill last year, then you will want to save the trouble of going through it all again this year, by stopping it from even getting to the House floor. Committee Chairwoman Naomi Jakobsson is a co-sponsor of the bill, and committee member Sandy Cole, whom I ran against in the recent primary, voted for this bill in committee last year, and will probably do so again. The STOP ILLINOIS FOCA blog reports:

They are the people who get to vote on whether or not this bill moves on to the House floor. It’s important that everybody contact these representatives whether or not they are YOUR representative.

They all represent you as an Illinois citizen on this committee, so they need to hear your voice.

Call, write, fax and visit these reps and tell them to vote NO on HB6205. Tell them:

• HB6205 will create a huge expansion of abortion in Illinois
  
• HB6205 will force Illinois school children into “condom training” sex-ed from pre-school
  
• HB6205 will make it more difficult for women to seek justice after a botched abortion
  
• HB6205 will pave the way for the gutting of the Parental Notice Act of 1995, which a strong bi-partisan majority of Illinoisans support

Please call, write and visit as many of these Reps as possible. Here’s the list of names and phone numbers to call. For all the details on how to contact these Reps and maps to their offices, see the full list below:

• Rep. Naomi D. Jakobsson 217-558-1009
  
• Rep. Constance A. Howard 217-782-6476
  
• Rep. Patricia R. Bellock 217-782-1448
  
• Rep. Sandy Cole 217-782-7320
  
• Rep. Annazette Collins 217-782-8077
  
• Rep. Mary E. Flowers 217-782-4207
  
• Rep. Timothy L. Schmitz 217-782-5457

I hope you'll find time today to make a call. Or six.

New Co-Blogger

Good morning! I'd just like to take a moment to introduce myself, the new co-blogger here at the Lake County Right to Life Blog.

My name is Paul Mitchell, and for nearly five years, I've written a pro-life blog (under the pseudonym, "Paul, Just This Guy, You Know") called Thoughts of a Regular Guy, where I've made the arguments for ending abortion and bringing about a culture of life, and defended traditional marriage. And written on other topics as they caught my interest.

In the middle of last year, I launched a campaign for state representative in the Illinois 62nd District, opposing Republican Sandy Cole. At the February 2nd primary, I captured only just over 38% of the vote in a two-way race, and so was defeated. But elections have consequences, even for losers, and one of those consequences is that Bonnie has asked me to blog here, in addition to my blogging at my own site (as well as Southern Appeal).

Although I am devoutly Roman Catholic (I am a parishioner at St. Peter parish in Volo, and Charter Grand Knight of Knights of Columbus Cure of Ars Council #14819), my approach to the life issues tends to make use of scientific and secular arguments, because I believe that they are more difficult for pro-choice (and pro-abortion) people to ignore. Here's an example, from my appearance at the Right to Life candidate forum last November, in which I also warn that the Illinois FOCA bill will be returning, as it has:

Haiti & Life

Wow! America thinks it's really helping Haiti. Haiti, a country that is almost 100% Catholic. Unfortunately Haiti, an economically broke nation without a rule of law, suffered a devastating earthquake, which killed millions of people. This quake also left millions homeless. It devastated any structure that may have been helpful to a society that suffers.

 

The Catholic Basilica and the Seminary were devastated. The Archbishop of Haiti, as well as all the seminarians, were killed in the quake. This disaster for the Church and it's outreach to the people of Haiti, has now necessitated complete rebuilding. But in spite of this tragedy, the faith continues.

 

Enter Planned Parenthood. As always, there immediate response to a disaster is to eliminate the unborn children. Thus ensuring their primary agenda and goal, which is eugenics.  Eugenics are always presented as a good to society that has a grossly mis-informed population. By eliminating poor people, they hope to ensure a "perfect race". Their answer to poverty, sickness and suffering, is always depopulation.

 

Now, shipments of medical aid to Haiti are being delayed by a massive condom overload.  These desperately needed supplies along with food and water, have been blocked for weeks by a massive supply of condoms, dominating the space in the main storage facility, supplied by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).

 

Medical supply buildings in the developing world being taken up mostly by condoms and severely lacking in health care supplies is not new.  In the aftermath of the Rwandan Massacre, it was noted that the military personnel referred to the UN and other foreign aid as "covering the country with rubber."

 

President of United Families of Africa in Enugu, Nigeria, Carol Ugochukwu, stated that the United Nations is trying to "exterminate the whole race" with their promotion of condoms. He further expressed exasperation, that Canad, the US and Europe wasted most of the time at the UN conferences, trying to gain approval for homosexuality, while the needs of African women such as food, shelter, and clean drinking water were largely ignored." "Bige organizations," she said, "spend so much money, but when they find out you are dealing with all that (dying children and mothers) they are not interested. You have to say you are dealing with reproductive rights before you are given support.

 

She concluded, "(Westerners) now come in with condoms - condoms are everywhere! They spend so much money on condoms and the make our children promiscuous."

 

So too in the United States. Condoms have increased promiscuity and abortion.

 

Now, condoms are blocking delivery of life-saving medical supplies to tens of thousands of earthquake victims in Haiti.
