She buried 11 children, endured an alcoholic husband, then Jesus spoke to her in dreams

4/4/16 – by Mark Ellis & Katie Kuykendall of God Reports

Selmira was a young teen when she married, older than most of the girls in her Napo Quecha village in Peru.

She had asked if she could wait until she finished primary school before her marriage. She wanted to learn to read first.

Shamanism and alcoholism are widespread in the culture of her village, according to Wycliffe Bible Translators. Alcohol flows freely at gatherings that invoke a multitude of spirits. In many families, heavy drinking leads to violence.

When the men are too drunk to fish or labor in the fields, poverty usually falls upon them like a bandit. Their babies frequently go hungry and are given alcohol to stop their crying and put them to sleep.

American College of Pediatricians: Gender Ideology Harms Children

Penny Starr/CNSNews : Mar 18, 2016 : CNS News

…no matter what sex a person imagines themselves to be, they remain either a biological male or a biological female.

Reprinted with permission from CNS News The American College of Pediatricians issued a position statement last month entitled “Gender Ideology Harms Children,” which will be followed by a peer-reviewed statement on the subject that’s expected to be released by summer, the college told CNSNews.com.

“The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex,” the statement issued on Feb. 2 stated. “Facts—not ideology—determine reality.”

Pakistan: Public schools teach hatred of Jews & Christians, “passion for Jihad

April 2, 2016 Robert Spencer

“Children in Pakistan are learning disturbing things about other religions in school,” by Nafees Takkar, Christian Science Monitor, March 31, 2016:

… In recent years in government-approved schools, students are using textbooks that teach hostility towards all forms of thought and expression – except orthodox Sunni Islam….

The books claim that Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Sikh faiths, and even minority Muslim ethnic groups are inferior if not dangerous and should be opposed. They often present stereotyped images from history – the crusades in the Middle Ages, unjust colonial British civil servants, Jewish moneylenders, or of marauding Sikhs warriors – as if these are current affairs and represent popular views in the West and India today.

The texts also adopt fundamentalist arguments that Muslim individuals are responsible for taking independent action against those who are not virtuous.

Dear liberals: Planned Parenthood is leading killer of unarmed black lives

Fri Feb 26, 2016Abortion 2

February 26, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) — Black lives matter. Or so we’re told. The left gets enraged when you put their rhetoric into context.

Nationwide, #BlackLivesMatter leaders decry the tragic deaths of unarmed black lives at the hands of what is sometimes accurately called police brutality. In 2014, there were a total of 444 reported “unarmed deaths” according to the FBI (labeled as “justifiable homicides” with no racial/ethnic specifics).

Yet over 330,000 deaths of unarmed black lives in the womb happen every year due to abortion brutality and this movement embraces the violence as “reproductive justice”.

 

Hamer, who was passionately prolife and an adoptive mother, would hammer today’s racially divisive #BlackLivesMatter movement that willingly supports the most institutionalized form of racism—population control (aka abortion).

In her denial opinion piece, “Dear conservatives: Abortion clinics don’t ‘target’ the black community”, Representative Gwen Moore (D-WI) wants to cry racism because prolifers invoke the #BlackLivesMatter hashtag to expose the movement’s blatant hypocrisy. (The Washington Post refused to publish my factual response to challenge her diatribe of lies.) Pro-life Congressman Sean Duffy (R-WI) rightfully called out the pro-abortion Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) for their silence. But the CBC and other black-led, liberal “civil rights” groups aren’t silent; they’re boldly vocal about their support of the number one killer in the black community. As an award-winning creative professional and citizen journalist, I’ve highlighted this betrayal by organizations like the CBC, the NAACP, (which I unapologetically call the National Association for the Abortion of Colored People), the National Urban League and others in our TooManyAborted.com initiative.

Dr. Mildred Jefferson (1926-2010), the first black woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School and the first woman employed as a surgeon at the Boston University Medical Center, denounced population control and its conduit, Planned Parenthood. She dedicated her life to caring for the sick and speaking globally about abortion’s violation of humanity: “I will not accept the proposition that the doctor should relinquish the role of healer to become the new social executioner. It is unconscionably unfair that the victim selected on which to test this social remedy of expendable lives, is the most defenseless member of the human family–the unborn child who cannot escape, cannot riot in the streets, cannot vote.”

Representative Moore wants to pretend that institutionalized racism isn’t inherent in a billion-dollar abortion empire that regularly celebrates its eugenicist founder. Planned Parenthood, according to its latest Annual Report, killed 323,999 [disproportionately black] human lives via abortion last year. Moore uses Planned Parenthood-funded Guttmacher to defend what is obvious to anyone living in urban America—the majority of abortion centers are located in predominantly black and Hispanic areas. Guttmacher makes the bogus claim (with zero demographic/geographic data) that 1 in 10 abortion centers are located in majority-black neighborhoods. In that same report, however, Guttmacher contradicts itself declaring “abortion services are concentrated in cities”.

Rep. Moore continues to falsify reality: “The inability or outright refusal to recognize the barriers black women encounter in accessing quality prevention services and reproductive care walks the line between sheer blindness and malice.” Black women have abortions at rates 5 times higher than the majority population. They are obviously accessing places that claim to provide prevention services and “reproductive healthcare”. Although, Planned Parenthood’s vital medical services to women have only declined every year in the last 5 years, including breast cancer screenings (down 41.3%), pap tests (down 58.1%) and barely existent pre-natal care (down 53.8%).

Moore also cites a sloppy 5-year “longitudinal study” by the pro-abortion Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health, referred to as the “Turnaway Study” which can hardly be trusted. This is an organization that boasts that their work has led to: “new abortion methods, an expanded abortion industry workforce, and increased number of trained abortionists.” Their collaborative effort with the University of California resulted in their outrageous claim, and outright lie, that “95% of women who had abortions felt it was the right decision both immediately and over 3 years.” When contacted to join the study, 62.5% of the respondents declined to participate. More dropped off during the process leaving only 31% of the original post-abortive women contacted to participate. Yet these researchers used the non-representative sample to provide false results about poverty and post-abortive regret.

Commercialized abortion isn’t just about women being exploited, victimized, and sometimes even killed. It’s about all three lives involved—mother, child (born and unborn), and father. We have an epidemic of fatherlessness in this country which directly causes increased poverty, higher abortion rates, and other negative outcomes. Communities that are fatherless are perfect prey for an industry that relies on men to abandon their responsibilities and their own posterity. In NYC, home of Planned Parenthood, there are 1,180 abortions for every 1,000 live births in the black community—more aborted than born alive. Compare that to 240 abortions for every 1,000 live births among whites and 610 abortions for every 1,000 Hispanic live births. Abortion apologists like Moore always talk about context, but never give any. Nationwide, Hispanics are uninsured at far higher rates than blacks, 24.4% and 15.9% respectively, yet have lower abortion rates. The poverty level among Hispanics, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, is almost identical to the black community—20.5% versus 22.5%.

How about access to the truth, Ms. Moore? GetYourCare.org is an online, easily searchable, database of over 13,000 comprehensive health clinics that provide far more real healthcare than Planned Propaganda, and without the violence of abortion. Sadly, Moore and her fellow pro-abortion Democrats pretend these thousands of resources don’t exist and legislatively try to shut down thousands more pregnancy help centers that offer real life-affirming care, at no cost, for mother and child.

The only extreme position here is justifying the deaths of those who could one day make history. Ms. Moore’s article is a reminder that many women and men confuse being empowered by being fooled by those in power. There is no dignity in willfully destroying our Future. There is no equality when it’s not extended to the most vulnerable among us. #BlackLivesMatter? #AllLivesMatter? Liberals like Moore show that hashtags are rather meaningless. Human beings, in and out of the womb however, are not.

Cops rescue 9-year-old girl from wedding

04 March 2016 – by Mubasher Bukhari

Lahore – Pakistani police rescued a nine-year-old girl from being married off to a 14-year-old boy to settle a family dispute on Friday and arrested four village elders who had ordered the “compensation wedding”.

The intervention in Pakistan’s largest province, Punjab, is rare in a country where it is often culturally acceptable to use marriage to build and strengthen alliances, settle disputes or pay off debts.

Police arrested all four members of the village council who had decreed that the girl be given in vani, or compensation marriage, to settle a dispute between two families in Rahim Yar Khan district of Punjab province.

“The girl’s brother’s wife died due to some health problems a few weeks ago, and (the wife’s) relatives suspected foul play and accused her family of murder,” deputy superintendent of police Mamoonur Rasheed told Reuters.

Please help stop the Safe School Coalition in Victoria!

Be encouraged to please sign this petition below to stop the Labor State Government from going ahead with The Safe School Coalition in Victoria. Please keep this issue in your prayers.

By CitizenGO · 04/06/2016 – http://www.citizengo.org/en/fm/33898-sign-here-stop-safe-schools-coalition-program-victoria-now

The Victorian government thinks it knows best when it comes to children. The Premier Daniel Andrews and the Education Minister James Merlino are now forcing the implementation of the “Safe Schools” Coalition Program (SSCP) in Victorian schools without parental consent, despite a recent U-turn on the program from the federal government.

Immediate action needs to be taken to ensure that vulnerable children are protected and that parents are not pushed out of their right to be the first educators of their children.

All students deserve a safe school environment, there should be no tolerance for bullying of any kind. We all want our schools to be safe spaces for children to grow, learn about themselves and to flourish as confident and resilient individuals. The current SSCP is not the way to achieve it.

The SSCP was designed by Safe Schools Coalition Australia, a national coalition of organisations and schools to create safe and inclusive schools for students, families and staff who are same-sex attracted, intersex and/or so called “gender diverse”. The Safe Schools program was designed to protect LGBTI school students from bullying and to educate teachers and school staff about LGBTI issues. The program, however, does more than this, it pursues and teaches opinions like:

What Really Happens in the 4 Most Common Abortion Procedures?

Brian Gottstein /Live Action : Feb 24, 2016 : Charisma News

“This unique window into the womb dispels the myth that abortions remove ‘clumps of cells,’ and instead shows that they kill real children with beating hearts and forming brains at just 3 1/2 weeks gestation.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: You’ve heard the faulty saying, “Ignorance is bliss.” There is NO bliss related to abortions. It’s so important to actually KNOW what happens with each kind of abortion procedure, and to not be ignorant; because I believe any abortion-minded person who actually takes the time to see the facts with their own eyes, will change their mind. These videos are NOT graphic, not actual ultrasound images, but animated demonstrations of what happens in each procedure–including RU486. Click here to view these videos. -Aimee Herd, BCN.

With the right to life as a major issue in 2016, pro-life investigative video producer Live Action released videos today aimed at changing the abortion debate in America. For the first time ever, a former abortionist will use medical animations to clearly depict what actually happens to a baby and her mother during an abortion.

Indian doctor fights gendercide by delivering baby girls for free

PUNE, India, February 16, 2016 (LifeSiteNews)

As a child, Dr. Ganesh Rakh wanted to be a wrestler. Now he wrestles with one of India’s most destructive prejudices. The hospital he started in 2007 to serve the poor in the city of Pune, 60 miles southeast of Mumbai, delivers girl babies for free as part of his effort to reverse India’s murderous – and growing – preference for male children.

“As a medical professional I have seen the torture that a mother undergoes when she comes to know that she has delivered a girl,” Dr. Bakh told reporters, “because regressive social norms are not only anti-women but are even anti-girl child.”

Often wrongly termed infanticide, the Indian preference for males has led to an estimated 12,700,000 sex-selective abortions of girls from 2000 to 2014, according to the pro-life Population Research Institute. The Virginia-based PRI’s executive director, Stephen Mosher, says Indian gendercide is especially acute among the country’s middle class, which allow 800 girls to be born to every 1,000 males (the overall ratio is 927:1,000).

U.S. Students Given Head Scarves to Wear on “World Hijab Day”: Can You Guess Their Parents’ Reaction?

Meira Svirsky : Feb 16, 2016 : United With Israel

“What lesson will they wear a Yarmulke in? Or the Christian cross? Or the Hindu turban? Funny how it always seems to be the Muslims they learn about, even in Common Core.” -Dan Lane

(Rochester, NY)—[United With Israel] School officials in Rochester, New York are getting flak from angry parents and teachers for holding an event in solidarity with World Hijab Day. The event, held at the school and during school hours, encouraged the high school girls to wear the Islamic headscarf for the day. Boys were given carnations to wear in solidarity.

Unsuspecting students put on the 150 headscarves that were brought by teachers before the first bell rang. They were encouraged to participate in the “cultural event” by the school’s principal Sheela Webster, who insisted the headscarf had nothing to do with religion, but rather all about the “experiential” and “was actually around learning about the cloth.”

Aussie family group stands up to LGBT program for 11-year-olds

Feb 17, 2016

AUSTRALIA, February 17, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – An Australian Christian organization is warning school principals to keep out of a federally funded Safe Schools program that is pitched as anti-bullying but is actually promoting premature sexual activity and transgenderism.

The Australian Christian Lobby says many of the 500 principals who have permitted the Safe Schools program into their schools “are probably not aware of what Safe Schools is really promoting and may be unwittingly acting as agents for rainbow activists.”

“We are in a battle for the innocence of our children,” ACL spokesperson Wendy Francis told LifeSiteNews. The program, which was produced by an alliance of homosexual activist groups, is funded to the tune of $8 million by the federal government. All state governments have made it optional for each school, except for Victoria, which will require all schools to teach it by 2017. The state of Victoria provided initial funding for the Safe Schools Coalition.
