Obama says, "Just lay there and die, please."

Even Hillary Clinton and NARAL are in favor of giving abortion survivors medical rights.

And by 'abortion survivors' we mean babies who survive being ripped out of their mother's wombs by abortionists and, despite being left alone to die in sterile metal basins, have the audacity (as some have called it) to breath and cry and urinate and flail their precious arms and legs around in search of SOMEBODY to cling to despite their attempted murder.

Are you crying yet? Did you even know this happens? Where are the tissues?

Hillary and NARAL and other liberal pro-choicers may be in denial about personhood within the womb, but at least they are willing to admit that if it looks like a baby and sounds like a baby then it must be a baby and is therefore entitled to medical attention... just like the preterm babies that are being born 3 floors up in the same hospitals.

But Obama is a freaking radical. As Illinois Senator, Obama has BLOCKED legislation that would require doctors to give immediate medical attention to babies who survive abortions!!!!!!! Come ON!!! Talk about a sicko!

I wish i could say it more intelligently, but i am really angry about this new piece of info i came across and cannot help but post something about it, in hopes that any of my pro-life-but-still-Obama-for-Change-readers will do more research about the basic human rights violations that this man has aided in permitting.

Don't you dare overlook this or pass it off as subordinate to all the other "changes" he promises the nation.

Still want to give him power over the rule of our precious country?

Mouthful of Frozen Goodness

I no longer have high expectations for tiny people's mealtime tidiness (like i did when i wore those rose-colored glasses they give you upon the birth of your first child. Nobody told me you had to give those back after the birth of #2!!).

Instead, I thank God for dishrags and running water.

What I didnt know about the Olympics

Normally, i think it's really boring and uncreative to simply link to an article written by somebody else and call it my very own blog post, but this occassion calls for it.

After reading it, i (ashamedly) count myself among the population i normally criticize - that is, those swept-up by cultural phenomenons who also fail to question what goes on behind the scenes.

A few sentences of his to get you interested, and then the link:

"By now, everyone has seen pictures of the beautiful new stadiums that have been built by the Beijing regime. What you won’t see are the military camps on the outskirts of Beijing, where units of the People’s Armed Police, armed with tanks and armored personnel carriers, have been placed on high alert. But local observers say that the police and military presence is even greater than that of June 1989, when deadly force was used to put down the pro-democracy demonstrations in Tiananmen Square and a massacre ensued....

Tragically, the decision to allow Beijing to host the 2008 Olympics has led directly to more human rights abuses. An estimated two million residents of Beijing have been rendered homeless, their homes destroyed to make way for various Olympic venues....

Like the XI Olympiad held in Adolf Hitler’s Berlin in 1936, I believe that the Beijing Olympics contravenes both the history and the spirit of the Olympic Games. I have signed the petition at http://www.beijingboycottcoalition.com/ pledging not to view broadcasts of the events, or will patronize any of the Games sponsors."

Baby Bell-Ringer

On Wednesday, I had the extreme privilege of attending the first profession of vows of one of my college friends.

Sister Karol Joseph (that's JPII's baptismal name), along with 13 other young women, made the simple vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience for the duration of 3 years, and, after that, will make a final profession for life. (!) For me, one of the most beautiful and real moments was when the bishop handed them their new veils (newly blessed with holy water, of course!) and said, "...may you present it unblemished before the judgement seat of Christ."
Sweet!

This order, the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, which was founded in 1997, is - despite their recent establishment - deeply rooted in the ancient monastic traditions of the Domincan Order. And as a testament to the beauty and authenticity of this religious order, be it known that they have 75+ young women whose average age is 28. TWENTY_EIGHT!!!!

After attending the solemn ceremony, i can't help but pour out gratitude to the Lord for taking these beautiful souls as His consecrated spouses! What a gift these religious are to the Church and to the world!

Here we are at the Mother House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Rosemarie got the privilege of ringing the huge monastery bell, as you can see in the picture. She loved being hoisted up by the hundreds of ringing pounds at the other end of the rope! Not obvious.



And here's the Mother House Chapel. Marble floors. Gilded altar. Choir stalls. Gotta love all that.


And of course, the newly professed. A beaming bride!

who transformed a drafty, drippy, spider-infested, boring old useless porch


into a whole new rusticly elegant room for our growing family!!!



It's not quite finished out (needs trim around windows, door, floor, and false beams in the ceiling), but looks so beautiful to me already!!!

Thank you, my talented and irreplaceable husband! I LOOOOOve you!
