A Festival for Death
By: Kim Moreland|Published: February 6, 2012 6:05 PM
What a sad statement about the growing culture of death in the Netherlands: Advocates for euthanasia and assisted suicide are celebrating a decade of their legality by hosting a weeklong film festival called the "Week of Euthanasia."
Sadly, after getting their foot in the proverbial door, the advocates continually redefine the criteria for which people "request," voluntarily or involuntarily, suicide.

By: Ginny Mooney|Published: February 6, 2012 2:28 PM
I wear pink socks.
I have a pink visor with a pink ribbon.
I’ve had two cousins with breast cancer saved by early detection.
I support the tremendous work The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation is doing to raise awareness of breast cancer, increase early detection, and help reduce mortality rates form the disease.

Holy cow, that was fast! Given everything they've just said about PP, I wonder how they can possibly justify this reversal.

The Susan G. Komen Foundation's decision to defund Planned Parenthood has erupted into a firestorm. Komen officials have quit, donations to both organizations have gone up, and the media is full of controversial statements and opinions from all sides. The Washington Post, National Review Online, and LifeSiteNews all cover the situation today.
All this has exposed a lot of facts that had been glossed over or ignored before. It's quite something when you see the founder of Komen stating on the front page of the Washington Post that Planned Parenthood does not do mammograms, only referrals.
