“People make thousands of dollars off the sale of fetal body parts.”
It’s interesting the path my thesis has taken me down. I had been proposing thesis ideas to the head of my Master’s program since the first semester. All of them were shot down. Now, I think some were maybe too conservative, but maybe I’m wrong. I hate to be paranoid. I’m sure some of them really weren’t good ideas or that I wouldn’t be able to find enough data on the topic to make my argument. Who knows? I was a little surprised, though, when my professor was all for my thesis about abortion: exposing the financial side of the industy. He thought it was cynical and he loves a cynic.
To me, it just seemed common sense that abortions cost money, so there was money to be made by performing abortions and, therefore, a financial incentive to promote abortions and fight for the legalization of abortion and against any restrictions on abortion. I had no clue the depth of what I was about to uncover, though. The financial incentives built into the abortion industry go far beyond what would strike most people as common sense.
I had a meeting with David Kyle, yesterday. He’s the director of the film Blood Money. If you’re a regular reader of this blog get used to hearing about this because this issue is not something I’m going to let go of any time soon. After the information I received, I now feel that it is my job to publicize this as much as possible and get the word out there about the industry that makes its profits off the slaughter of unborn babies. Watch the trailer below and make sure you visit the website to sign up and show your support.
Pay attention to the implications of socialized medicine. Remember, I have said before, as long as there is not specific language in the legislation prohibiting the use of government funding to finance abortion the health care “reform” being pushed in Washington right now will lead to your tax dollars paying for women to murder their child, and not just because their life or health is in danger, or because of rape or incest or any of the reasons the majority of Americans think abortion should be legal for. Your hard earned money will be used to pay for abortion for every woman, no matter what the reason, even if she is using it as a form of birth control. We should all be outraged, no matter how you feel about the legality of abortion, that our money is being stolen from us to finance this.
What isn’t included in this trailer, although plenty of disturbing things are, is the baby-parts market. Yeah, you read that correctly. There is a market out there for baby parts from the babies that are aborted. So, in addition to the financial incentive for places like Planned Parenthood to encourage abortion for the sole fact that they can turn a profit on it is the financial incentive of putting parts of the aborted baby on the market for resale after the abortion. Does that make you a little sick? Does it make you sick that I can talk about parts of a baby being put on a market for resale as if they are like any other commodity you can buy, as if they are a piece of furniture, an IPod, etc.? It makes me sick. Sick enough to want to puke.
Reporter Chris Wallace, on an episode of 20/20, reported:
A 20/20 hidden camera investigation has found a thriving industry in which aborted fetuses women donate to help medical research are being marketed for hundreds, even thousands of dollars…Opening Lines put out this price list: $325 for a spinal cord, $550 for a reproductive organ, $999 for a brain…Dr. Jones said the average specimen costs him just $50 plus overhead, but that he charges an average of $250. They law only talks about recovering costs. But on a single fetus Jones said he can make $2,500.
Still believe this is about a woman’s right to choose? And, it gets worse. Typically, they want the specimens from a “fetus” that is at or past the eight week mark, which gives doctors performing the procedure with intent to sell incentive to postpone the abortion to maximize their profits. And, as Appendic C lists, 30% discounts are given for livers and brains that are “significantly fragmented.”
Abortion is an industry. They are building mega-clinics because it is profitable. That is the reality. To continue to believe that abortion is about women and women’s rights is incomprehensible. That is beyond a mere case of denial. America, this is our reality. People get rich off of invading women’s bodies with foreign utensils in order to harvest profitable body parts from our unborn children before they murder them and dispose of them in garbages and garbage disposals. If that doesn’t make you sick there is something seriously wrong with you.

Why do good restaurants serve breakfast all day long? Without bacon, that would be impossible.
OK, I was over at Trak-A-’Crat, one of my favorite blogs (Simpsons reference alert: Fat Tony quote coming) “for cracking me so consistently up,” reading about Obama’s redistribution fever, when I stumbled onto this story from a couple months back about a fat kid’s mother being charged with neglect because her son was disgustingly morbidly obese:
Oh.
My.
God.
I only wish that I could’ve found a video of the whole 555 pounds of 14-year old Alexander Draper in motion.
Although… would he fit into the viewfinder? Wouldn’t you need a super-wide angle lens or summin’?
The Blob is in the news because his mother, Jerri Gray, has been charged with criminal neglect.
Watch the vid and listen to the amazing stream of self-delusion from the mother.
Quote: “A lot of times I had to work full-time second shift or full-time third shift and I wasn’t home a lot. There were times that I would have to purchase, you know, maybe some fast food when I came in.”
Some fast food?!
He ate nothing but fast food! Look at him!
And listen to the BS from the lawyer!
The child does not particularly like sweets. Yes, he does, he loves them!
He was eating several lunches each day at school. No sh*t!
There were also friends who were giving him snacks. What, like feeding an animal in the zoo?
Being hideously unhealthy is not a crime, though it is robbing Alexander of his childhood. The mother should not go to jail for this – that will only make the son’s life even worse.
But just wait until Barry’s forced health care plan comes into effect, for you and I will pay for every operation that Alexander “deserves” in order to counter his self-inflicted condition.
(PS – Rumor has it that the Troglopundit is nearly this fat…)
And, as I’m reading all of this–and, getting a good chuckle out of it, of course–I get an email about the greatness of bacon:
Friends, Pig Farmers, Countrymen. No fortune is too great to be sacrificed for the bellies of the porker. When the pig has done nothing but played in the mud and gorged itself so we can have one of the world’s most perfect food. How perfect is it? Why do the good restaurants serve breakfast all day long? Without bacon, that would be impossible. That is the power that bacon holds.
Looks like all of the stars aligned on this one.

M*$$hole’s governor let’s Kennedys hand-pick replacement
Nothing about Massachusetts’ politics and the Kennedy family really surprises me, anymore:
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick announced Thursday he has chosen longtime Kennedy friend Paul Kirk to fill the vacant seat left open by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy until a special election is held in January.
Patrick said Kirk will begin serving immediately, not in the 90 days that the measure passed by the Massachusetts House and Senate allowing for the appointment stipulates. The measure, which passed both chambers Wednesday, includes a provision allowing the interim senator to begin immediately if the governor declares it is an emergency.
“He’s a distinguished lawyer, volunteer and citizen and he shares the sense of service that so distinguished Sen. Ted Kennedy,” Patrick said. “Paul will not seek the open seat in the special election that’s coming up in January but for the next few months he’ll carry on the work and focus of Senator Kennedy, mindful of his mission and his values and his love of Massachusetts.
Kirk is a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee and currently heads the John F. Kennedy library in Boston.
Can anyone, please, tell me what is so great and/or special about the Kennedys? I realize I wasn’t alive during that time, but I just don’t get it. Why does Massachusetts love them so much? Why do MA voters allow their elected representatives to strip them of their right to elect their representatives and hand the decision over to the Kennedys? I realize that MA is a “blue” state, but there are plenty of people who are purple and or red. Don’t they get a say in the matter?
And, what’s the emergency? In order to bypass the 90 day waiting period the governor had to declare an emergency. So, I’m just wondering, what the eff is the emergency? Wild fires? No, that was California. Heavy rains and flooding? Nope. That was Georgia. Census workers being hanged and “Fed” written across their chest? No. That was Kentucky. What the heck is the emergency in MA that allows the circumvention of the voters?
Boston, let me remind you of your roots. With all of this talk about tea parties, maybe you have forgotten that Boston is where this all started. Maybe it’s time to bring it home. It really doesn’t matter whether you like the Kennedys or not; whether you are Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, etc. This is about your rights being taken from you in a blatantly politically motivated move. Power is not taken, but relinquished. Are you relinquishing your power to the politicians?

Nintendo Wii gets cheaper on Sunday!
Maybe I should go out and buy a Wii this weekend:
Nintendo said it is cutting the price of its popular Wii video-game console by $50 to $199.99.
The 20% price drop on the Wii, which features a motion-sensor remote, will take effect Sunday, according to a Nintendo statement released early Thursday.
I know, could I be any more behind the times? Doesn’t everybody own a Wii by now? My five-year-old niece has one, for goodness sake! But, not I. I’ve never even played on one. Maybe this weekend the time has come.

Illegals demand free health care
So, illegal immigrants think they have a right to break into our country and then receive free medical services once they are in? And, they say Americans have a sense of entitlement!
Publicly funded Grady Memorial Hospital has served as a lifeline for this city’s indigent for more than a century, but a plan to shutter its dialysis clinic has sparked a lawsuit on behalf of dozens of undocumented immigrants who say the decision amounts to a death sentence.
The case in Fulton County Superior Court throws into sharp relief some of the hottest issues in ongoing skirmishes over health care and the government’s role in providing medical services: how and whether undocumented aliens should receive free treatment, and how far hospitals must go to provide lifesaving care for them.
“The issue is, do my clients have a fundamental right to life?” said Lindsay Jones, an attorney for the plaintiffs, during a packed hearing before Judge Ural Glanville on Wednesday.
Mr. Jones said one elderly patient, a partially paralyzed and undocumented immigrant from Colombia who was wheeled into the courtroom on a bed, recently returned from Florida after being told he wasn’t immediately eligible for regular dialysis treatment there. He had been receiving such treatment at Grady.
Bernard Taylor, a lawyer for Grady, told the judge that the charity hospital can no longer afford to provide regular dialysis treatment for the slightly fewer than 100 patients of the clinic. He said the clinic is posting annual losses of about $2 million and would require another $2 million to bring the facility up to date even though it serves a tiny portion of the hospital’s patient base.
Mr. Taylor said Grady has taken steps to help about 90% of the patients find alternative care and is committed to finding solutions for the remaining patients, who require dialysis to prevent kidney failure. Grady is the only large hospital in Atlanta still providing regular dialysis for undocumented immigrants — most of whom can’t afford the treatment, which typically costs a few hundred dollars a session.
Judge Glanville said he expected to rule on the matter later this week. He ordered a temporary injunction last Thursday — one day before Grady planned to close the dialysis clinic — requiring the hospital to continue providing the service until it presents “a suitable alternative treatment plan” for affected patients.
Grady estimates about two-thirds of the patients who use its dialysis clinic are undocumented immigrants without health insurance. Mexicans make up the largest single group; others are from countries including El Salvador, Nigeria, Egypt, India and Cambodia.
Like I have said before, death is the risk that illegal immigrants take when they decide to enter our country illegally and become illegal immigrants. The absurdity of this is breathtaking! If we know these people are here illegally, why aren’t we deporting them? Has our immigration law enforcement become so lax that illegals now feel they can come out in the open and sue people for free services? They feel comfortable enough to be that blatant about their violation of our laws? That’s a problem, people.
It’s tough times and we can’t help everybody. If these people want help, they need to go back to Mexico or wherever else they came from and get it from their own government and fellow citizens. It is not our responsibility to save the world. The idea that we even have to waste tax dollars on the court proceedings for this case is ridiculous. They should round them up and send them back. They have no right to be here and no right to demand free health care.
And, by the way, unless the health care bill specifically prohibits illegal immigrants from receiving any benefits, you can expect a similar lawsuit to be brought in the future arguing they have a right to our “free” health care system. What do they care? They know that they can exploit our sympathies in order to take advantage of us. That’s what the pro-illegal immigration lobby has been doing all along. I’m sorry if I sound heartless, but we can’t save the world and we need to stop trying to. I don’t want to be giving out welfare to anyone, but as long as my government is stealing from me to do this I certainly don’t want it going to an illegal. If that means they die, so be it. If they don’t like it they can go home, wherever that may be, because this is not their home.

Jason Mattera vs. Campus Progress: The feud continues!
So, Jason Mattera (AKA Big Sexy…someday maybe I’ll give you the dirt on that! Just kidding, Jason! That will be our little secret. For now, I’ll just let their imaginations run wild!), gave a speech at the Values Voters Summit. Of course, Campus Progress got all upset about it because Mattera said that conservative women are hotter than liberal women and that liberal women look like men, submitting Rachel Maddow as Exhibit A:
During the panel, Mattera took the David and Goliath metaphor another perverse step: If conservatives (David) smite liberals (Goliath), they will be rewarded with the hot conservative women, just like King Saul promised his daughter to the warrior who slew the evil giant. “You know his daughter must have been beautiful because there’s no guy whose gonna die for an ugly girl,” Mattera chortled. “Our women are hot. We have Michelle Malkin. Who does the left have, Rachel Maddow? Sorry, I prefer that my women not look like dudes.”
It was not too long ago we ventured down this road and had this debate before. A quick review: Matthew Archbold asked the question of whether or not there was a hotness gap. S.Logan said, “Of course conservative women are hotter!” I think she reached that conclusion by looking in the mirror. She’s pretty hot (no, I’m not a lesbian, NTTAWWT! but, the beauty of being a woman is that we can say other women are hot without having your sexuality questioned). And, Pundette started making a list of hot conservative men, to which I later added to.
Mattera, who has had an ongoing feud with Campus Progress for about four or five years, now, if my memory serves me correctly, responded today on the YAF Blog:
Posner refers to the college activism panel that I participated in at Family Research Council’s conference over the weekend. What did hot women have to do with my talk? Not much, actually, despite Posner making it the basis of her piece. It was just a casual reference—me noting that even if I weren’t an activist, I’d probably still wander to the conservative camp because our women don’t look like the picture above.
Because I know you’re wondering what picture was featured above, here it is:
WARNING: The following picture is not pretty and could be considered by some to be the anti-Rule 5.
As Jason just wrote me, “I find this whole Maddow “controversy” amusing. Moe, literally, it was a 30-second swipe out of a 15-minute talk lol. And why would they defend Maddow? I mean, she does unequivocally look like a man!!! Ideology aside!”
It’s like he forgets what we have been battling together since college. Liberals, especially those in their 20s, have been coddled their whole lives. Their ideology is dominant in our schools, entertainment, and news. They don’t think; they regurgitate. She picked up on this 30-second swipe out of a 15-minute talk because she probably didn’t understand anything else he said. Her liberal sensibilities were insulted and she couldn’t get past the emotions she felt.
Her emotional nature, as John Hawkin would call it, was insulted. As Stacy McCain said, calling a woman emotional is going to offend her and she will respond by…getting emotional. So, instead of trying to refute claims made in his talk or developing a rational argument against what Jason said, she concentrated on this one little swipe because that’s all she had the mental capacity to concentrate on and write about. She probably went home and cried about it, first. Although, Little Miss Attila might disagree with my assessment of the situation. It’s a risk I’m going to have to take.

Pin-up Boys: Naked men featured in calendar.
Now we all know what to get grandma for Christmas:
The “nearly-nude” senior calendar from Atlantic Shores Retirement Community in Virginia Beach was unveiled Tuesday and features the “Pin-up Boys.”
The “Pin-up Boys,” aged 69 to 90 years young, agreed to pose for the senior calendar to raise money for their local rescue squad.
“The seniors went above and beyond what a normal person and/or group or community would do for us and this is just…we’re flabbergasted,” said Richard Otto of the PA Courthouse Volunteer Rescue Squad.
Unfortunately, these boys are out of my price range (price is my euphemism for age), so I won’t be donating to the cause, but that doesn’t mean you should check it out and think about buying one for the elderly women in your life. I think this would go over pretty well in my hometown in Connecticut, seeing how it includes Heritage Village, which is New England’s largest retirement community.

Flavored ciggies banned: Better stock up before they’re pulled from the shelves!
“Federal health officials” just sounds scary to me:
Federal health officials banned the sale of flavored cigarettes on Tuesday in the first major crackdown since the Food and Drug Administration was given the authority to regulate tobacco.
The ban is intended to end the sale of tobacco products with chocolate, vanilla, clove and other flavorings that lure children and teenagers into smoking. The agency will study regulating menthol products and hinted that it might soon take action against the far larger market of flavored small cigars and cigarillos.
“These flavored cigarettes are a gateway for many children and young adults to become regular smokers,” Dr. Margaret A. Hamburg, commissioner of food and drugs, said in announcing the ban.
In 2004, 17-year-old smokers were more than three times as likely as those over the age of 25 to smoke flavored cigarettes, and they viewed flavored cigarettes as safer. Among the more famous flavored cigarette introductions was that of Camel Exotic Blends by R. J. Reynolds, which had flavors like Twista Lime, Kauai Kolada and Warm Winter Toffee.
“Banning the marketing and use of strawberry, chocolate and other flavored cigarettes will help slow the rate of addiction among young smokers, preventing disease and saving millions in health care costs down the line,” said Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa.
Every day, 3,600 children and teenagers start smoking and 1,100 become daily smokers, studies show.
I would advise Senator Harkin, and those scary sounding federal health officials at the Food and Drug Administration, to read the book The Tipping Point. There’s some really good stuff about smoking and smokers. Specifically, about that last point that out of the 3,600 children and teens who start smoking every day only 1,100 become daily smokers. People who are going to smoke are going to smoke. Taking away flavored cigarettes isn’t going to stop them.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure that giving the FDA this authority is unconstitutional and an abdication of Congress’s responsibility, but who cares? No one likes a smoker, except for maybe all of those kids getting free health care from them. I would just like to know why I can’t get a vanilla flavored cigarette because some kid wants to smoke. That’s not my problem. Why am I being penalized because parents can’t do their job and talk to their kids about the danger of cigarettes?
And, what happens if they reach their goal of ending smoking in America? What happens to all of the tax revenue smoking generates? What happens to the programs being funded by that revenue? This is just another lie. They want cigarettes to be addictive and they want more people addicted to them. This is just another sound good policy. Well, I better go stock up before they clear the shelves. I think I just figured out what the trick-or-treaters will be getting from me this Halloween.
