New Jersey officials said a quack “doctor” from the Dominican Republic was caught perpetrating what he was telling immigrant women was a surgical enhancement of their rear-ends this week.
You may ask why I am reporting this story? Is it proof of a great failure of the Democratic Party? Is it an example of the end of our civilization? How about evidence of the further degradation of our society and economy? No to all of these.
This story is here merely to give me a chance to say, “Mother’s Butt Caulker Gets Nailed.”
I mean, we don’t want this story to slip through the cracks, you know? This quack doc is a rear and present danger. Talk about “junk in the trunk.” Let’s hope if this guy is released he doesn’t do any back sliding.
Illinois State Senator Dale Risinger (R, Peoria) has offered a bill in Springfield that drives our society further along the path of making parts of the human body a commodity, undercutting the sacred status of human life.
SB 3613, the Presumed Donor bill, amends the Illinois Anatomical Gift Act to define all Illinois patients as “presumed donors” unless they specifically avail themselves of the opt out clause. In other words, unless you tell the government that in the case of your presumed brain death you don’t want your body parts cut out and donated to other patients, they will be cut out and given to others.
As the law stands now a potential donor has to opt in to the organ donor program in order to allow the government to authorize usage of organs in case of brain death. One must inform the state ahead of time that one will agree to donate his organs. This bill would reverse that process of consent. If SB 3613 passes all patients will be assumed to be fodder for transplants unless they’ve specifically told the state that they do not want their body parts to be parceled out to other people.
As the synopsis of the bill states: This bill, “Provides that, on and after July 1, 2012, each resident of Illinois who is of sound mind and who has attained the age of 18 years is presumed, by operation of law, to have given all of his or her body for any organ donation purposes.”
Proponents of this bill say that it will help alleviate the desperate need for donor organs and will help hundreds of patients live that might otherwise die due to their disease and lack of donor organs.
It does sound like a great idea until one begins to look at it all with a bit more logical eye. Laws like a “presumed donor” law could easily cause doctors to care less for the injured when looking to harvest organs for patients waiting transplants. And since the criteria for a transplant includes the donor’s “brain death” one is struck with abuse that such a designation could lead to.
Medical science is replete with cases of patients that were called brain dead and given up as a lost cause but who woke up, healed, and became sentient, active people once again despite the doctor’s negative expectations. Unfortunately, medical science is not always right with its determination of when an injured patient is permanently brain dead.
That being the case, to assume that every patient that is determined to be brain dead is a candidate for organ harvesting could easily put the life of that patient in danger of being given less importance when weighed against people waiting on an organ donor list.
Injured patients have to trust that a doctor has their best interest in mind and must hope that a doctor’s zeal to harvest organs takes a back seat to the welfare of the potential donor. This law, however, would upset that delicate balance and place the need for organs at a higher level of importance than the life of the potential donor.
This all tends to make the human body more of a commodity than a sacred vessel. Doctors could easily begin to see severely injured patients as temporarily breathing organ banks instead of living humans that need their utmost skill to heal them.
If you stand against this bill and want to see Illinois organ donor law stay as an opt in law instead of one of “presumed consent” you have a chance to voice your disapproval of the law by supplying written testimony to Senator Risinger via email at senatorrisinger@yahoo.com. Unfortunately I am only finding out about this now as a public hearing was held on Tuesday, March 2.
Please do email Senator Risinger with your opposition to this bill.
Lila Rose has done it again, exposing yet another Planned Parenthood clinic breaking the law. This is the tenth clinic exposed in the Mona Lisa Project with Live Action Films (you can see the great work she’s done in the past here), where she’s shown how Planned Parenthood clinics cover up the sexual abuse of a child and tell young girls how to avoid parental notification.
This video comes from Milwaukee, WI:
This debuts at a good time, considering the release of Barack Obama’s new health care plan. It was revealed yesterday that $7 billion is going towards community health centers, hidden in a provision. How much of that money will be going to Planned Parenthood clinics across the country? How much of it will be going to other abortion clinics?
At a time when it’s being shown that Planned Parenthood flagrantly refuses to follow the law, Obama is setting up his new health care plan to enable more abortion funding. What does that say about how extremist Obama is in his pro-abortion views? Pro-life or pro-abortion, what happens in these clinics should make you sick. Any rational person who had even the slightest hint of morals wouldn’t allow the actions of Planned Parenthood to continue unpunished — yet that is exactly what has happened in state after state after state.
And worst of all (though unsurprising), far from condemning this activity, Obama is gearing up to funnel even more money to this illegal organization.
At least there is someone out there who will keep working to expose Planned Parenthood as the evil organization that it truly is.

A pro-life billboard from Georgia Right To Life has liberals and feminists hopping mad, angry about being confronted with an uncomfortable truth. The billboard looks like this:
The billboards are clearly meant to catch your attention, and draw attention to the fact that minorities get a disproportionately large number of abortions, and especially in Georgia. Even the New York Times, which writes about the controversy with sentences dripping with disdain, is forced to admit the troubling statistics are real.
In 2006, 57.4 percent of the abortions in Georgia were performed on black women, even though blacks make up about 30 percent of the population, according to the most recent figures from the federal Centers for Disease Control. Of the 37 states that reported abortion data by race, Georgia was second only to New York and Texas in the number of abortions performed on black women. Only Mississippi and Maryland reported a higher percentage of abortions going to black women than Georgia.
The Census Bureau reported similar numbers for African-Americans nationwide. In 2005, black women had a rate of 49.3 abortions for every 1,000 performed as opposed to 13.6 for white women. Hispanic women came next at 26. Does this make black children “endangered”? Hardly. The fertility rate for black women is also higher, so of course black children are not literally in danger of becoming extinct. But I think it seems clear the the billboards are part of a shock campaign designed to get the attention of black women. Feminists and liberals know this, I’m sure, and are feigning outrage because Heaven forbid the public is exposed to any kind of pro-life messaging.
Most people, with the exception of strong pro-lifers, don’t know that black women get a disproportionate number of abortions. They also don’t know the disturbing background of Planned Parenthood… and that its founder, Margaret Sanger, was a racist who was a proponent of eugenics. This video from the American Life League, for example, details how deep racism and eugenics ran in Margaret Sanger.
So while this ad campaign may be shocking and a little over-the-top, it’s certainly making a valid point. The website featured on the billboards, www.toomanyaborted.com, exposes Planned Parenthood’s racist past and the sad statistics for abortions black women get in Georgia and across the country. Did you know, for example, that 94% of all abortion clinics are located in urban areas? Nationwide, blacks make up 12.8% of the population but account for 36.4% of all abortions. 43% of all black pregnancies end in abortion. Who can look at those statistics and feel their heart swell with pride? I doubt that there’s a vast racist conspiracy going on to exterminate the black race. I do think that Planned Parenthood happily profits off of underprivileged black women without ever giving them a chance to explore other options.
Once again, I can’t help but notice how “pro-choice” really means pro-abortion. Feminists and liberals howl with outrage whenever anything negative about abortion is even so much as mentioned. Why? Is the pro-abortion position really so fragile that they cannot handle the thought of Americans being informed about the gruesome nature of abortion? Most Americans don’t cheer the idea of a baby never getting the opportunity to live their life. They see it as a tragedy. But pro-choicers can’t handle that tragedy being brought to light… which, again, leads me to believe that it isn’t that they are for women making their own choice about their bodies. They want women to have abortions.
The abortion lobby, and especially Planned Parenthood, shows itself over and over again to be evil, out for blood and money. Black women deserve to know the truth about how they are being targeted.

Lila Rose is a well known pro-life advocate. As the president and founder of Live Action, she’s done a lot of really amazing work exposing Planned Parenthood for what they really are: an evil organization looking to profit off of the slaughter of the unborn by any means necessary. They’ll manipulate women into getting abortions. They’ll lie about the science. And time after time, they’ve been proven to look the other way when cases of alleged statutory rape are presented to them. All of this has been exposed to the light thanks to the hard work of Lila Rose. Whether you are for or against abortion is really irrelevant — every parent in America should be against Planned Parenthood for the crimes they commit and the lack of ethics possessed by this organization.
At approximately 11:50am on Thursday, December 17th, 2009, Live Action President Lila Rose was struck by a male uniformed Planned Parenthood escort. The attack occurred on a public sidewalk outside a Planned Parenthood affiliate located at 1691 The Alameda in San Jose, California.
Lila Rose was visiting the abortion clinic with a group of about 20 students and three adults to pray and provide information to women who might be open to abortion alternatives.
According to a police report filed at the scene, supported by several witnesses, the following interaction took place between Miss Rose and the uniformed Planned Parenthood escort:
Rose, from the public sidewalk: “Sir, are you familiar with the abortion procedure?”
Escort approaches Rose rapidly from Planned Parenthood parking lot, says, “You idiot. You’ve caused so much trouble. You piece of crap.”
Rose offers to show Escort a picture: “Can I show you a picture of what it really does to a baby?”
The Escort strikes Miss Rose’s hand, knocking literature and Bible to the ground. Rose steps further back on sidewalk, Escort steps towards Rose.
Escort, visibly shaking, says, “It’s a woman’s choice!”
Rose says, “What about the baby’s choice?”
Escort says, “It’s not a baby!” Escort turns around and walks away.
Police were called and interviewed the victim and several witnesses. Rose sustained no injuries from the attack. Charges of assault and battery are pending. There have been no apologies.
Live Action maintains a strong commitment to non-violent public discourse. We expect Planned Parenthood will respond to their escort’s attack by publicly disavowing the use of violence.
I was asked by Live Action to try to contact Planned Parenthood and get a response from them about this incident. I genuinely wanted to know their side of the story. Have they done their own investigation into this? Is the escort, a Gerard Nordley, still working with Planned Parenthood? Do they have a statement? Will they issue an apology?
I called their public relations department repeatedly for over a month. I left message after message. I never received a single phone call to follow up about this incident, or a single e-mail. This leads me to believe that Lila Rose’s statement is indeed accurate, and that Planned Parenthood is trying to keep this quiet. I understand the role of escorts for abortion clinics, and approaching the abortion protesters is not in the job description. Assaulting them is definitely not. Lila wasn’t hurt, thankfully, but what happens next time? If this man wasn’t even disciplined for his actions, what will keep him from taking it a step further with someone else? And if Planned Parenthood does not discipline this man in any way, or issue an apology to Lila Rose, then you have to assume that they approve of his behavior.
Just one more thing to add to the list of reasons why this organization is truly rotten to the core.
UPDATE: I wanted to issue a note to clear up the confusion surrounding the Gerard – Gerald Nordley website. I contacted Lila to confirm that the man on the website is indeed the man who assaulted her, and she did. Also, the church he says he attends on his website is apparently not far from San Jose, CA. Hope that answers some questions.
