Drake took the stand in his own defense and told how he felt no remorse for the killings, yet believed that he deserved to die or be locked away for what he did. Today is Abortionist Appreciation Day (!) Our Supreme Court buffer zone challenge was not among last Friday's listed cases, which means the court has not decided to take the case -- yet. It might still, however. Two more babies were reported saved last week. One Friday (# 9) at P.P., and one Saturday at WHS (# 10). THU, MAR 4 -- Eleanor, a sidewalk counselor, took a woman to A Woman's Concern yesterday. She was an off-the-sidewalk save (# 8), as Eleanor met her after the woman had talked to Father Martin.

ASH WED, FEB 17 -- 111 Harvard Street abortion mill will be a topic for tonight's discussion on Dan Rea's talk show on WBZ-1030 AM. The show runs from 8:00-12 Midnight, but we don't know the time for this topic. Fitchburg pro-lifers on the sidewalk six days per week!
Effort continues to keep Planned Parenthood Express out! Current Status as of 16 Feb 2010: Fitchburg City Council withdrew the petitions 040-10 and 041-10 which would have kept PP off main street. The city solicitor gave the opinion that even if on the face of it the petitions would pass constitutional muster (perhaps one of the two), the very fact of the debate and the input from the citizens would provide evidence of animus against PP and would subject the city to lawsuits. The city would have to pay all the attorney fees on both sides. How are we supposed to be able to discuss things given this chilling climate?
When it was time for the public to speak, a certain councilor repeatedly interrupted the public speakers when they said the words 'Planned Parenthood' or the word 'abortion.' Alone among the councilors, Rosemary Reynolds challenged this abuse of the right to speak, and defended the right of the citizens to speak openly about what is really at stake which is that Planned Parenthood does abortions. She also repeatedly challenged the other councilors to take more time to defend Fitchburg, the life of Fitchburg, and the life of her children and not cave in to "unlawful laws". Picket Schedule: Mon-Fri -- 3:45 pm to 5:00 pm, Saturdays 12:00 Noon to 2:00 pm, Sunday is for rest.
Location: 391 Main Street, Fitchburg, Mass, the proposed site of Planned Parenthood beginning in March or April.

Secession in the air -- Pat Buchanan TUE, FEB 9 -- Women's Hell-th Services opens: Globe covers us at 111 Harvard St.
A letter to the Globe reporter who wrote the article linked above: Hello, Mr. Parker,
I read your February 9th article, "Abortion Protesters Show Up ...
"You focused on complaints that the protesters' signs and graphic images scare young children. You failed to inquire as to what, exactly, it is about such signs and images that might be frightening.
Children, in seeing things without the filter of preconceptions that adults almost inevitably accrete, can at times be more perceptive than adults are. Those signs and images ought to scare, not only children, but any decent person; that is their intended purpose. It is ridiculous to admit that a sign or an image is upsetting, without acknowledging that the reality it depicts is far more upsetting than is the mere image of that reality. But if there is nothing wrong with pregnant women hiring someone to kill their preborn children, why should an image of a killed preborn child be upsetting?
You wrote the superficial story, but ignored the underlying reality. -- David Rydholm
The Puppet Masters: George Soros and the Obama Administration -- The meteoric rise of Barack Obama to the pinnacle of political power despite his woeful lack of leadership experience, lends credence to someone pulling strings like a puppeteer.

Worcester Telegram article The Reverend Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK) of Faith and Action in Washington, DC, was one of the first to greet newly elected Massachusetts senator Scott Brown when he arrived on Capitol Hill. THU, JAN 28 -- Report from Fitchburg picket of proposed Planned Parenthood Express site: "When I arrived ( an hour late ), it looked to me like they had a good and effective showing, and my sense was that the local community was by and large supportive of the protestors. I joined the few that stayed on for another hour or so, and I think that if there were a petition to sign against PP's moving in, it would have been signed by a number of pedestrians passing by. In fact, I overheard a few of the locals asking if there was a petition that they could sign.
"So that's encouraging ... if my sense of things is correct, there's a significant number of locals in the Fitchburg area who are willing to join an effort organized to oppose bringing PP into their neighborhood." State of the Union address (Human Events) Karl Rove on the State of the Union WED, JAN 27 -- In the decade after the federal government began its meager funding of abstinence education, teen pregnancy fell steadily.

Join a Thursday protest: Eyewitness account of March for Life rebuts media lies Krista Gesaman of Newsweek.com's Gaggle blog said that "young women" were "missing" from the March for Life. GOP lawmakers sent a clear message to thousands of anti-abortion activists gathered on the National Mall on Friday: The healthcare reform bill died because of the strength of the pro-life movement.
More than a dozen lawmakers remained in D.C. for Friday’s events organized by the March for Life Fund on the 37th anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court ruling in favor of a woman’s right to choose [child killing] in the case Roe v.

Conservatives: Beware of McCain Regression Syndrome by Michelle Malkin FRI, JAN 22 -- When she herself was 18 weeks pregnant, Dr. Harris performed a D&E abortion on an 18-week-old fetus. Harris felt her own child kick precisely at the moment that she ripped a fetal leg off with her forceps: Instantly, tears were streaming from my eyes—without me—meaning my conscious brain—even being aware of what was going on. I felt as if my response had come entirely from my body, bypassing my usual cognitive processing completely. A message seemed to travel from my hand and my uterus to my tear ducts. It was an overwhelming feeling—a brutally visceral response—heartfelt and unmediated by my training or my feminist pro-choice politics. It was one of the more raw moments in my life.
Harris concluded her piece by lamenting that the pro-choice movement has left providers to suffer in silence because it has “not owned up to the reality of the fetus, or the reality of fetal parts.” Indeed, it often insists that images used by the pro-life movement are faked.

Location: 470 Pleasant Street (1 block from Park Ave.), Worcester Time: 5:00 - 6:30 PM [They have been seen to be open at this time recently.] THU, JAN 14 -- Our third baby (# 3) of the year was saved at Planned Parenthood yesterday. Mary, our sidewalk counselor, spoke her male cousin who had accompanied the abortion-minded woman. He went back into Planned Parenthood and persuaded the young woman to come out -- after which she was "exuberant." Number 4 was this morning: Baby's father did NOT want the mother to abort this morning. They went inside, came back out and went back inside again. Just as we were about to leave and getting into our car Fr. Andrew noticed that the couple had come back out once again. Only this time they kept walking. He ran to our car and said, "LOOK!" I ran after them and, sure enough, the husband said, "SHE ISN'T GOING TO DO IT!" When the couple got inside their car I looked in and said, "Thank you Jesus! You are really keeping your third son." And she smiled, "Yes," as she shook her head. I can't tell you the look of relief that comes over a couples face when they do the right thing.
A very good morning with Br. Pio, Fr. Andrew, Sean and Marie.
-- Janet Operation Rescue announced today that it is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of abortionists who are breaking the law.
The campaign, known as Abortion Whistleblowers, is encouraging abortion clinic workers and others to come forward and tell what they know about abortion clinic abuses. "Democrat Martha Coakley is the voice of the “little people” the way Ted Kennedy was the voice of sobriety. If Massachusetts voters want another privileged liberal who talks a good “social justice” game while ignoring public corruption, pocketing gobs of money from Beltway fat cats and pandering to corporate special interests, Coakley’s the one."

TUE, JAN 5 -- Globe article on the respective stands of Brown and Coakley on abortion Looks like Brown is TOAST -- hard to rebut Globe's analysis. MON, JAN 4 -- Contrary to an earlier report we had received, Planned Parenthood remained CLOSED Saturday morning. The sign on their door said that their "Holiday" schedule included being "Closed" on Friday, January 1 and Saturday, January 2.
Perhaps our earlier information was in error. Or perhaps their schedule was revised as a result of the weather forecast.
As I told Ruth Schiavone, who was also out there Saturday, "I'd rather show up and have them closed than show up and have them open!" "We have seen the number of Planned Parenthood non-express clinics fall from a high of 938 in 1995 to 797 today," said Jim Sedlak of STOPP. "More significantly, 2009 saw the rate of Planned Parenthood closings go from one a month to over two a month." Full story at LifeNews.com. TUE, DEC 29 -- Nancy Pelosi said in a new interview that the "free will" of women wanting abortions outweighs pro-life Catholic teachings. At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the question is not whether we will preside over the creation of a New World Order, but whether America's decline is irreversible. -- Pat Buchanan THU, DEC 24 -- Report from an abortion mill sidewalk today: "It was SO busy at the Clinic, like never before. Cars were actually lining up to drop off the girls! One right after another. At one point, there were four cars letting the girls out! Taxi Cabs, too, dropping off the girls.
"Busy, busy busy! And I am very glad we did go to Planned Parenthood this morning. They may be closed for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, but today...! They did enough for all of the three days that they will be closed.
"Very depressing, until we got the SAVES [two, # 98 & 99]. That makes it all worthwhile. Thank you JESUS!!" -- Janet, a sidewalk counselor Post-script: The two saves followed a remote recital of Christmas carols by Father Tom DiLorenzo conveyed by one of the pro-lifer's cell phones to the sidewalk.

After reviewing her account of the morning, there are a solid five children (# 92-96) saved -- and maybe as many as eight! According to Janet, the changed women started coming out of the abortion facility just after two other anointed ones arrived -- Brothers Michael and Pio, of the Franciscans of the Primitive Observance (FPO). They were key -- by the Grace of God, of course! Brother Pio prayed, while Brother Michael counseled and prayed. Dec. 17, 2009, from Janet: PRAISE GOD!!

[??] 8. An older couple -- looked like heavy metal rockers -- came out of P.P. and left. Look relieved but didn't talk to us, and were not receptive earlier. [??]

SUN, DEC 13 -- Deaf at the Cathedral Tour was in front of Holy Cross Cathedral yesterday and today. Led by Randall Terry, four local pro-lifers joined Terry and three friends to issue an urgent public plea to Cardinal O'Malley to enforce Canon 915, denying Holy Communion to politicians in the archdiocese who support abortion.
The tour made stops at cathedrals in nine states -- Boston is the last -- whose Catholic politicians support abortion but are allowed to receive Holy Communion. FRI, DEC 11 -- Baby saved (# 89) at Planned Parenthood this morning, according to Connie, our sidewalk counselor. Population control is not an answer to any problem, not starvation, not poverty, not environmental degradation (both real and imagined). It is an idea based on hate and deep ignorance. The fact that it popped up at Copenhagen is telling. -- Editorial, Investors Business Daily SUN, NOV 29 -- Bill Clarke, a veteran pro-lifer who was in sub-par health in recent years, died on Monday, November 23.

This morning's spectacle is evidence of the corruption which pervades the Catholic Church in the United States.
