lila rose

As part of her undercover stings at Planned Parenthood offices, Lila Rose of Live Action recorded employees (including a “doctor”) lying about fetal development and advising the “underage” Lila Rose to lie about her adult “boyfriend’s” age.

One of the clinics, Birmingham Planned Parenthood, has been put on probation for killing the unborn babies of minors without complying with the parental notification law. Steven Ertelt at Life News asserts that the minors were “obviously victims of statutory rape.” Lila Rose’s tape prompted state officials to investigate the abortion mill.

As I said, fetus-hating screws up your brain.

In other news, did you see the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ads? To call Focus on the Family’s pro-life message mild would be an overstatement. I didn’t expect to hear the Gospel, of course, but I expected a stronger message with a clear focus on Pam Tebow choosing to give her baby a chance to live, because his unborn life was precious.

Well, considering the kind of world we’re living in, it’s a miracle anything with Focus on the Family’s stamp on it made prime time. The ads may well plant a seed, and they just might be forerunners of explicit pro-life messages on TV.

At the very least, Focus on the Family and the pro-life movement got a lot of publicity from women’s groups raising a ruckus, and we’re clear that these women frown on the choice to keep, rather than kill, an unborn baby. Beyond odd.

Unlike some who call themselves pro-life, I believe an unborn baby should live even if conceived in rape or incest. That’s just the kind of extremist I am.

Carrying a baby conceived in a brutal, illegal, immoral, or ill-advised act has got to be tough, whether you want him or not. But this is where sacrifice comes in. The innocent child should not be murdered because of how he was conceived.

The Advocate is a student magazine created by Lila Rose, the pro-lifer who exposed Planned Parenthood covering up statutory rape and lying about an unborn baby’s development. In the Winter 2009-2010 issue is a story about a woman conceived during a rape. The five-page PDF file may or may not open. No idea why, but you can read it at Live Action.

Warning: to read the story, you must scroll past graphic images of fetal parts and an intact dead baby.

Rebecca Kiessling almost didn’t make it. An excerpt:

“In 1968, her mother was brutally attacked at knife-point by a serial rapist in Michigan. The police quickly referred her mother to a rape counselor, who presented abortion as the only option. Abortion was illegal in Michigan at the time, but the counselor recommended a ‘back-alley’ abortionist. Her mother refused the abortion due to the unsanitary conditions of these clinics.

“Rebecca’s mother was then referred to a more expensive abortionist, and she was told to meet someone at night near the Detroit Institute of Arts. The person would approach her, say her name, blindfold her, put her in the back seat of a car, and drive her to the secret abortion clinic for the procedure. Uncomfortable with these requirements, Rebecca’s mother decided to carry the pregnancy to term and put Rebecca up for adoption.”

The pregnant woman’s motives for changing her mind are irrelevant. That she decided to spare her baby is all that matters. It’s easier, I suppose, for a pregnant woman who doesn’t want her baby to kill him, rather than tolerating his presence for nine months and giving him to a family who wants to love him.
