Pro-Life Group’s Ad Rejected By Major Newspapers, Image of Baby “Too Controversial”

LifeNews.com:

A national pro-life organization is outraged after three major American newspapers rejected a pro-life ad as “too controversial.”

The Chicago Tribune, USA Today, and the LA Times refused to run an advertisement created by Heroic Media.

The ad features a hand holding a 20- to 24-week-old baby with the quote, “This child has no voice, which is why it depends on yours. Speak Up.”

Heroic Media Executive Director Joe Young said he was shocked and angered that the media outlets were willing to talk about the issue but were unwilling to show the reality of life at 20 weeks.

“I am disturbed that these papers would run article after article promoting the notion that abortion is a victimless act without consequences,” Young said. “The fact remains, children who are unique individuals – never again to be duplicated – are being killed in the most violent way imaginable and they feel the excruciating pain of that death.”

The newspapers took issue with the image of the baby.

“It seems as though it is okay to talk about the issue in general, but when you actually put a face to the discussion, then it becomes controversial,” Young said.

Last week after the House passed the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, Heroic Media put out a statement requesting that the pro-life community contact their senators and encourage them to consider and support the Act.

“Americans deserve to know the truth about the children sentenced to die for no fault of their own and that we have a chance to spare some of them through this legislation,” Young said.

The Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act prevents an abortionist from performing an abortion at or after 20 weeks, based on empirical scientific medical evidence that proves that unborn babies can feel pain.

Science shows that at eight weeks after fertilization, the unborn child reacts to touch, and at 20 weeks, the unborn baby responds to what would be felt as pain.

The image shows a 20- to 24-week-old baby in a person’s hands. Heroic Media’s goal was to show what life looks like at 20 weeks. The non-profit organization has resubmitted the ad with a different image, now one of a 20-week-old baby in utero.

The Chicago Tribune has now agreed to run the ad with the second image as long as Heroic Media indicates that it is an advertisement.

“Our hope is that the American public begins to advance this debate with both the mother and child in mind,” Young said.

Heroic Media is a non-profit whose mission is to educate the public in general and reach women facing unplanned pregnancies with life-affirming alternatives through the use of mass media, such as television commercials, internet outreach, and billboards.

Secretary of State John Kerry Was Sailing On A Yacht While Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi Was Ousted in a Military Coup

Priorities for a rich, white, liberal and epic failure as a presidential nominee, are clearly not in order:

A spokeswoman for Secretary of State John Kerry reversed herself on Friday, now saying that Kerry was — indeed — sailing in Massachusetts as Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi was ousted in a military coup. 

“While he was briefly on his boat on Wednesday, Secretary Kerry worked around the clock all day including participating in the president’s meeting with his national security council,” the spokeswoman, Jen Psaki, told The Boston Globe. 

On Wednesday, Psaki denied a CBS News report on Twitter that the nation’s top diplomat had been seen boarding his yacht, Isabel, off Nantucket just hours after Morsi — Egypt’s first democratically elected leader — was deposed. 

“Any report or tweet that he was on a boat is completely inaccurate,” Psaki said, seeking to quell any notion that Kerry was not on the job. 

Another Kerry aide who was not authorized to speak publicly told the Globe on Friday that Wednesday’s denial stemmed from “confusion,” adding that Kerry had apparently taken his grandson out for an hourlong sail. 

The secretary’s aides bristled at the suggestion that Kerry was simply lounging around on Wednesday, saying that he has been working the telephones with world leaders and participating in White House meetings about the Egyptian situation and other foreign policy matters, the Globe reports.

Godless, Bisexual Singer Lady Gaga Inserts 'Home Of The Gay' Into National Anthem

No surprise here, coming from a woman who bit her whole style from anti-religious, fame-whore Madonna, whose consumers are mostly gay (or support homosexual behavior), who sleeps with women and who has promoted the myth that gays are "born that way":

Lady Gaga sang the national anthem at Pier 26 to kick off New York City’s gay pride celebration Friday night, changing some of its words to fit the occasion, The Blaze first reported.

Holding a rainbow flag, the performer sang, “O say does that star-spangled flag of pride yet wave,” then substituted “land of the free, and the home for the gay.”

On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a federal provision that denied benefits to legally married same-sex couples and, in a separate case, cleared the way for California to resume offering marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Lady Gaga posted a photo of herself in a wedding gown to her Twitter account Wednesday.

“We stand tall today.#DomaStruckDown So many fought for so long. Be proud, the prejudice are now the minority,” the singer tweeted.

Godless Pro-Choice Protesters Shout "Hail Satan!" At Abortion Rally

As Barack Obama and the rich, Godless, white liberals who control his social agenda become more and more powerful, their true goal of destroying and making a mockery of all tenets of Christianity becomes more and more transparent:

Tensions in Texas ratcheted a bit higher Tuesday as activists on both sides of the abortion issue squared off at the  Capitol in Austin for a somewhat odd religious-themed shout-down.

Gov. Rick Perry has called for a second special session to pass an abortion law that would prohibit the procedure past the 20th week of pregnancy.

Pro-choice protesters shouted, “Hail Satan!” as an attempt to drown out pro-lifers’ rendition of “Amazing Grace.”

A Texas blogger, Adam Cahm, captured the scene on video: “It’s been a very interesting day at the Texas State Capitol. … LetTexasSpeak has been doing a live broadcast from the rotunda where women have been sharing their abortion related testimonies. The pro-abortion crowd has responded with repeated chants of ‘hail Satan.’ It’s taken us all day to get a video recording,” The Blaze reported.

Cornel West: Barack Obama Pushes Blacks to Back of Bus in Favor of Gays

Speaking truth to power:

Cornel West praised the Supreme Court’s ruling last week on gay marriage, but lamented that “we black folk are just being pushed to the back of the bus in terms of our visibility.”

Speaking on his radio show with co-host Tavis Smiley, the Democrat made the case that while the court’s decision advanced the rights of gay couples, it hindered the rights of blacks by striking down part of the Voting Rights Act.

“We’re living in an age where we black folk are just being pushed to the back of the bus in terms of our visibility,” Mr. West said, “of our suffering in terms of the intensity of our exclusion, especially our poor black youth, especially with the new Jim Crow and so on. And we have to be honest about that. Again this has something to do of course with what history books will say.

“The irony of the age of Obama in which black folks found themselves pushed to the back, our gay brothers and lesbian sisters more and more pushed to the center,” he added.

Angry Black Woman Michelle Obama Says Living In White House Like Living In ‘Really Nice Prison’

Nothing pleases this woman, nothing. It's too bad the voting American public was too dumb and naive to not do Michelle O. a favor and return her angry ass back to civilian life:

Speaking at the African First Ladies Summit this morning in Tanzania, First Lady Michelle Obama described living in the White House as living in a “really nice prison.”

Obama was in the middle of an on-stage conversation with former First Lady Laura Bush, when moderater Cokie Roberts reportedly noted that Martha Washington (wife of first President George Washington) once described the First Lady role as being similar to state imprisonment.

According to The Washington Examiner, Obama found that assessment slightly accurate, joking to Roberts that “there are some prison elements to it, but it’s a really nice prison.”

Bush reportedly then reminded the crowd that First Ladies have their own chef, prompting Obama to admit: “You can’t complain. But there is definitely elements that are confining.”
