Abortion – the truth about grief and breast cancer. . .

Pro-LifeSalt Shakers: E-News

With Victoria and Tasmania now allowing abortion up to birth, and forcing doctors to refer a patient to a doctor who they know will perform and abortion, it is vital that we know the truth about abortion. It is also important that women are provided with all the information – when the Victorian law was passed, amendments aimed at providing that information to women were defeated. Here’s some news from the past month or so…This email has three parts:

First is a moving interview with Anne Lastman, who lives in Melbourne and runs a ministry called ‘Victims of Abortion’. Anne counsels women who are suffering pain and hurt following an abortion, and has written a book titled Redeeming Grief.

The interview was published in National Review Online.The other two parts relate to new evidence about the link between abortion and breast cancer. The latest research comes from China and India.Of particular note is a new book, written by Dr Angela Lanfranchi she has compiled much of the information about the consequences of abortion to a new book titled Complications: Abortion’s impact on women . . .1.

Great Australia Day weekend in Melbourne as hundreds of Christians unite to pray for Australia’s transformation

Dear family & friends in Christ,

The Australia Day weekend gone by was an exciting one to remember, including the grand opening and dedication of our new Catch the Fire Ministries Centre in Hallam.

On Saturday morning, around 350 people from 50+ nationalities, many denominations, churches and generations united as the Body of Christ to storm heaven in prayer and worship for our nation Australia.

Prayers was led by a Catholic Priest, Anglican Minister, Presbyterian Minister, Salvation Army Minister, Baptist Pastor, Marketplace Minister, Messianic Jewish Minister, Indigenous Minister and several Pentecostal Ministers.  They prayed for Government, Marketplace, Schools, Universities, Armed Forces, Families, Protection from Terrorism and Bush fires, Revival, Israel, for Pastors & their Families, Churches, etc.

The prophetic worship was absolutely amazing with many thanks to a special Indonesian dance and worship team from Sydney.  

As the crowd sang ‘This is our Nation – The Great South Land of the Holy Spirit,’ the anointing fell mightily in the place. People waved their Aussie flags and sang with passion.

 Many were in tears as the presence of God was so mighty.

People from across the country from every state were present at the meeting which went on for more than 3 hours.

Pr Daniel Pandji from Indonesia greatly challenged the people to Rise Up in Prayer and push forward to take Australia For Jesus.

His powerful message and testimonies greatly impacted the people.

The National Australia Day Prayer in Melbourne was also followed by very special series of meetings with Pr Daniel Pandji from Indonesia, where many lives were radically impacted.

Christians prepare to face increasing persecution in India

Dalits are the group once known in India as untouchablesChristian Today -Published 29 November 2013

In national elections due in the next few months, observers warn that if a Hindu Nationalist government comes to power attacks on Christians in India will increase.

There has been a spate of attacks on Christians and Muslims in India in the last year. Mapping of the attacks on Christians and Muslims show that the worst affected areas are Gujarat and Orissa, where the upper-caste Brahmins hold significant economic power.

They use this power to enforce their ideology which is to reduce the “Dalits” – or lowest caste – and Christians and Muslims to be second class citizens.

In Kandhamal, Odisha, in 2008 attacks were carried out on “tribal” Christians and the agencies that helped them, with 38 Christians killed, 18,000 injured and 50,000 displaced.

World Vision, a Christian relief agency, was forced out of the area.

Economist says Christianity is Helping India’s ‘Untouchable’ Women Rise from Poverty

By CLG on DYoung professional women walk along the street in Bangalore, India. - CNA/Hilary Senourecember 30, 2013

A Georgetown University researcher’s pilot study found positive improvements for India’s Dalit women after converting to Christianity.

A researcher at Georgetown University in Washington has found that impoverished women in India are more likely to improve their economic circumstances after converting to Christianity.

“Conversion actually helps launch women on a virtuous circle. A woman feels better; she’s part of an active faith community; she works more; she earns more money: The extra money she earns and saves encourages her to earn more and save more and plan and invest in the future,” said Rebecca Samuel Shah, research fellow at Georgetown’s Berkley Center for Religion, Peace and World Affairs.

Shah presented her initial findings of a pilot study looking at “patterns and directions where conversion had an impact” on Dalit women in Bangalore, India, at a conference on “Christianity and Freedom,” held in Rome Dec. 13-14.

Shah and her team studied 300 women who lived in a Dalit slum community over the course of three years. When they began their research, they did not know that 23% of the women being interviewed were actually converts to Christianity.

Taliban Commander Sends 10-Year-Old Sister to Blow Herself Up

The ten-year-old sister of a Taliban commander has been arrested wearing a suicide vest, it has been revealed. Soldiers arrested the girl named as Spozhmay moments before she had planned to blow up local Afghan policeJanuary 6, 2014 by Daniel Greenfield

Joe Biden kept insisting that we had to negotiate with the moderate Taliban. Question for Joe, are these the moderate Taliban you’re looking for? (via Religion of Peace)

The ten-year-old sister of a Taliban commander has been arrested wearing a suicide vest, it has been revealed. Soldiers arrested the girl named as Spozhmay moments before she had planned to blow up local Afghan police.

The girl is being detained in Helmand Province and is thought to be one of the youngest recorded would-be suicide bombers to survive.

She was arrested on Sunday night in a remote village called Uwshi , in the Charchino Distric and taken to Helmand’s capital Lashkar Gah to be interviewed.

Sources say the girl, who was pictured eating an orange, claimed her Taliban brother had persuaded her to wear the vest – but she failed to blow it up.

In July it emerged that Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan are bribing starving children as young as eight years old to plant deadly roadside booby traps, be decoys in ambushes and even act as suicide bombers.

Against all the odds, abortion is losing at the UN

It is something that haunts the days and nights of the UN Population Fund and the International Planned Parenthood FederationLifeSiteNews.com Life, Family and Culture News – by Austin Ruse- Thu Jan 02, 2014 

NEW YORK, January 2 (C-FAM) – Pro-abortion forces have spent hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of man-hours in the past twenty years and they have not advanced their agenda even a single syllable past what they got at the Cairo Conference in 1994.

Let that sink if for a moment, because it is something that haunts the days and nights of the UN Population Fund and the International Planned Parenthood Federation. They have dedicated a significant portion of their lives to establish an international right to abortion and all they have achieved is vague language on reproductive health and rights that most countries soundly reject as having anything to do with abortion. They are no nearer to an international right to abortion than they were when they began.

It is something that haunts the days and nights of the UN Population Fund and the International Planned Parenthood Federation.

What’s more, they have even begun to see their slight gains fade. Two years ago the UN hosted the 20-year review of the Rio Conference on the environment. Delegates rejected language related to reproductive rights. Hillary Clinton denounced the outcome document as did many other pro-abortion figures including Nafis Sadik, former head of the UN Population Fund.

In the past several months the UN Population Fund has hosted regional conferences in preparation for the upcoming negotiations for new development goals and the 20-year review of the Cairo Conference. These stage-managed regional meetings are full of radical pro-abortion language. How have these documents been received by delegates in New York? With polite disdain.

Businessman’s near-death experience in hell transformed his life

Emerging from comaAugust 29, 2013 – By Mark Ellis of GodreportsBullet lodged in Matthew’s brain

He was attending a business convention with his brother and another family member when random shots sprayed a crowd outside an Atlanta restaurant.

Three intoxicated young men were denied entrance to the eatery and retaliated with a burst of nine-millimeter bullets from an Uzi submachine gun. One of the shots entered the back of Matthew Botsford’s head, lodging itself in the frontal lobe of his brain.

“They were angry, so they took a shot straight up the sidewalk,” says Matthew. “If you took a hypodermic needle, heated it up, and stuck it in your head, that’s what I felt,” he says. “It was a searing hot pain, then things went black.”

His body slammed to the pavement and the last thing he remembers is the cold, hard cement amid “inky” darkness.

He was at the edge of death – if not clinically dead — three times after his heart stopped once on the sidewalk, once in the ambulance, and once in the emergency room of Piedmont Hospital. But weak vital signs returned and doctors induced a coma that lasted 27 days to reduce brain swelling.

Matthew’s wife, Nancy, described the horrifying ordeal in her book, “A Day in Hell; Death to Life to Hope” (Tate Publishing).

Media Billionaire and Fox News Owner Rupert Murdoch Tells Christians to Pray for Middle East Counterparts

By Morgan Lee , ChRupert Murdochristian Post Reporter – December 24, 2013|

“Amid Xmas extravagance and festivities, Christians should pray for millions of fellow believers being killed and persecuted in Middle East,” tweeted the owner of News Corp, an American multinational media company which owns Fox News.

Although Murdoch has professed to be a Christian, his three divorces and the “sleaze, tabloid sex, scandal and nudity” promulgated by his publications have left some questioning his faith.

In 2004, however, while still married to his second and Catholic wife, Murdoch explained where he fell religiously.

“They say I’m a born-again Christian and a Catholic convert and so on. I’m certainly a practicing Christian, I go to church quite a bit, but not every Sunday and I tend to go to the Catholic church – because my wife is Catholic, I have not formally converted. And I get increasingly disenchanted with the C of E or Episcopalians as they call themselves here. But no, I’m not intensely religious as I’m sometimes described.”

Murdoch’s comments come at the end of a chaotic year for Middle Eastern Christians.

Five Signs of Hope (Maybe) for Europe

Prince CharlesEvery now and then readers of this site, while thanking me for my coverage of the Islamization of Europe, have kindly asked if it’s possible for me to provide an occasional break from the endlessly depressing accounts of jihad and appeasement and dhimmitude and, quite simply, report on some good news for a change.

Point taken. Here, in recognition of the hopeful message of Christmas and the New Year’s promise, is a year-end dose of tidings of – well, not great joy, but at least possible positive turnarounds on various fronts.

1. BRITAIN: Walking back a dhimmi policy

The Marks and Spencer story. This one went through the whole cycle (from proud corporate declaration of spineless dhimmitude to meek apology therefor) with incredible – and gratifying – rapidity.

Just a couple of days before Christmas, a customer of the posh London retailer told the Telegraph that a Muslim clerk had refused, albeit politely, to ring up her bottle of champagne because the item offended the clerk’s religious convictions. Confronted with this story, a spokesperson for M&S affirmed that, indeed, out of respect for Islam, the store had a policy of allowing Muslim workers to refuse to serve customers purchasing (for example) alcohol and pork, and to pass these haram customers on to other, less discriminating employees.

Result: a huge public outcry, including a Facebook page promoting an M&S boycott. Within hours, M&S was not only apologizing for its wrongheaded policy but (amusingly) insisting that, in fact, it had no such policy at all, and that in the champagne incident the store’s actual policy had not been properly followed.

Christians face ‘organised persecution’ from Islamists in Middle East, says Prince Charles

Prince Charles and Prince Ghazi bin Mohammad of Jordan arrive for a visit to a Syriac Orthodox Church in London -THE INDEPENDANT – Adam Withnall – 18 December 2013

Victims and family members of those being ‘attacked’ told the Prince about their experiences in the region.

Christians in the Middle East are being “deliberately attacked” in a campaign of persecution led by Islamist militants, Prince Charles said.

Many minority religious organisations have fled the region in the turmoil following the Arab Spring, and in Egypt particularly violence against Coptic Christians saw a marked increase after Muslim Brotherhood president Mohamed Morsi was overthrown.

Yesterday the Prince of Wales visited a number of British branches of churches based in the region, and heard from members whose families had suffered from religiously-motivated violence and murder.

Accompanied by Prince Ghazi of Jordan, he spoke to people at the Egyptian Coptic Church centre in Stevenage and the Syriac Orthodox cathedral in west London, before a reception at Clarence House with the Archbishops of Canterbury and Westminster and the Chief Rabbi.

“We cannot ignore the fact that Christians in the Middle East are, increasingly, being deliberately attacked by fundamentalist Islamist militants,” Prince Charles told the audience.

“For 20 years, I have tried to build bridges between Islam and Christianity and to dispel ignorance and misunderstanding.
