This from FFL:

"The Washington Times is running its second annual contest for Noble of the Year and has nominated Patricia Heaton for 'her public support of the pro-life movement.'

The contest runs only through December 31. If you'd like to vote for Patricia Heaton, send an email to crousseaux@washingtontimes.com with the subject line 'Nobles contest'. If you prefer, you may send a fax to 202-715-0037.

The Times is also running a 'Knave of the Year 'contest, and this year they have nominated Dear Abby, for 'advising a terrified pregnant teen-ager to go to Planned Parenthood for help.' To vote for Dear Abby, use the same instructions above.

For more information on the contest, see the Washington Times website at http://www.washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20031226-085001-2143r.htm"

DO IT! Here are my emails:

"I'd like to nominate Dear Abby as Knave of the Year for advising a scared, pregnant teen to go to our nation's number one abortion provider: Planned Parenthood. Pretty sneaky."

-AND-

"I'd like to nominate Patricia Heaton for her public support of the pro-woman, pro-child, pro-life movement dispite its unpopularity with the majority of today's celebrities. She is a gutsy feminist who donates time and scads of money to a wonderful, positive cause. Patricia is not afraid to do what is right, and I think that's pretty noble!"

Join me in my New Year's resolution to oppose the violence and indignity of abortion even more! I for one am New and Improved for 2004! Make your own nominations and send them in TODAY!

Pregnancy after abortion. How does a new child affect the SICLE? This is an excerpt from an email I wrote a very dear friend. I thought it was worth posting.

"After this pregnancy is over you will begin to see once more updates on the cell. Motherhood is forever and thus abortion is forever. I started the cell after my son had already been born and was 4 yrs old. My first child is the
one who I destroyed. So even all this time later my heart is broken for my first child. No child can take the place of the other child. A new child will bring you joy of course, but she will not heal the loss of your first child. You are a mother and you know that that one child was as special as you are. We can never replace that, and that is the tragedy of abortion. Abortion doesn't put motherhood on hold at all. It simply makes us the mothers of dead children. Sad but true.

Many times during this pregnancy I have sat thinking of my first baby. I've had moments in this very hospital room where I have bawled and bawled like a baby thinking of that little one and who s/he must have been before I took
his/her life. I was on the verge of making it through the illness, but I didn't know it, and I killed him/her at fifteen weeks. This one kicks and I think of that one who kicked the day before I aborted him/her (but I ignored it). I saw this one's tiny perfect hand at 12 weeks. I saw bones, I counted fingers and toes, I even saw her face. All this at twelve weeks. And I killed my first at fifteen weeks. I will never ever ever get over it.

No, I have a job to do right now, and it takes all of the positive mental energy that I have to devote. But I am still in the cell. I will never be out of the cell. This is the self-imposed child loss experience. This is why we must be heard. No one should have to live with what we live with, and no child should have to die the way our children did."

After signing a petition (at care2.com) to get big tobacco ads out of children's magazines, a NARAL support page popped up and my eyes popped out. This is a hippy site, for pete's sake. Abortion-supporting hippies??? Good grief, this is as contradictory as "pro-choice feminist"!

Copy of email to them:
"i love you guys, but i was shocked and disgusted to see that, after signing a petition to have tabacco companies stop advertising to children, you posted your support of the naral organization, a smarmy, vile group that is as deceptive and deadly as the tobacco industry. very disappointed that you people call yourselves ecologically friendly while you support the absolute ruin of our country's most valuable resource: our children. NOTHING about abortion is natural. didn't you learn ANYTHING from genuine feminist mary shelly??? you can't mess with mother nature, and ripping a child out of her mommy's womb is certainly crossing the line.

please rethink your approach/support. you can NOT claim to be non-violent and support abortion at the same time.

p.s.
i will boycott your service from now on until you stop publicly supporting violence against women and children."

Then I got this in the auto reply:
"The time is always right to do what is right" - Martin Luther King, Jr.

Well that really burned me up so I wrote more (because I'm pregnant and on bedrest and hormones are making my knickers twist more than usual).

"what is right is to protect the world environments of all people, including gestating children. the womb environment is the most natural environment in the world. to promote the destruction of this environment for anyone is antithesis to the message of do no harm. it is anti-nature. one human being's right to "choose" does not trump another living human being's right to remain alive. thinking otherwise is a grave violation of civil rights. do what is right. stop supporting naral."

Then, when I checked their site a little more deeply, I saw all this crap on there about the fight against breast cancer. That's when my head exploded and my brain fell out. So they are sitting here suckling at the teat of the abortion industry... or better yet, feeding her their best like some grotesquely obese termite queen and then they are crying foul when she spits out women with breast cancer!!! WHAT CAN BE SAID AT A TIME LIKE THIS? Insanity, insanity... a song that all the world is singing.

I have some interesting news coming up from the underground. Pictures included. Stay tuned.

TRUTH!
