Human Dignity Activist's blog

All too often we lose sight in our passion. We know we want to make a difference, but we are so caught up in everything we do we forget to remind ourselves who we are doing this for and why we are doing this. Tonight a speaker said, "We have to help those who noone else will help." Tonight I also bumped into Hal Samples. I met this man before and what he does is truly inspiring. The Human Dignity Society (an organized I will be forming) and a project we will engage in is very much inspired by Hal.  Read More »

Anyone else see Porter Goss resigning from the CIA a continuation of the disgusting political games this administration is playing with the intelligence community?

Does anyone remember that Porter Goss was a Republican congressman at the time of nomination? The fact that he is a Republican didn't worry me, but the fact that he was an obvious partisan either Democratic or Republican greatly troubled me. The CIA is one of those institutions that should be civilian and non-partisan operated.  Read More »

A friend shared this with me. I am adding my own thoughts at the end. I don't care if you're pro-choice or anti-choice... this is too far. Be as skeptical as you want, but if somehow the people on the pro-choice side could mimic this and did so i would be just as outraged. That's all I will say before allowing you to read it.

An Indiana mother recently accompanied her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend to one of Indiana's Planned Parenthood clinics, but they unwittingly walked into a so-called "crisis pregnancy center" run by an anti-abortion group, one that shared a parking lot with the real Planned Parenthood clinic and was designed expressly to lure Planned Parenthood patients and deceive them.

The group took down the girl's confidential personal information and told her to come back for her appointment, which they said would be in their "other office" (the real Planned Parenthood office nearby). When she arrived for her appointment, not only did the Planned Parenthood staff have no record of her, but the police were there. The "crisis pregnancy center" had called them, claiming that a minor was being forced to have an abortion against her will.

The "crisis pregnancy center" staff then proceeded to wage a campaign of intimidation and harassment over the following days, showing up at the girl's home and calling her father's workplace. Our clinic director reports that the girl was "scared to death to leave her house." They even went to her school and urged classmates to pressure her not to have an abortion.

The anti-choice movement is setting up these "crisis pregnancy centers" across the country. Some of them have neutral-sounding names and run ads that falsely promise the full range of reproductive health services, but they dispense anti-choice propaganda and intimidation instead. And according to a recent article in The New York Times, there are currently more of these centers in the U.S. than there are actual abortion providers. What's more, these centers have received $60 million in government grants. They're being funded by our tax dollars.

A bill has just been introduced in Congress to stop the fraudulent practices of fake clinics, but it desperately needs more support. Tell your representative to take a stand: anti-choice extremists must not get away with this any longer!

This is the article published front page of the Dallas Morning News this morning. Bono coming to speak obviously should be welcomed as big news, but I'm surprised that a paper that most articles are reproduced from other publications and is grossly bias toward the right wrote such an accurate article on the amazing evening. It is not the transcript I promised and still want to get and it has a few misquotes, but I would like to share it with everyone.  Read More »

Tonight is a night that I hope never leaves my permenant memories and I venture never will. Tonight I was graced with pleasure of seeing one of my long-time heros speak.

If you know me or if you simply read the title of this blog you may be able to guess that I am speaking of Paul Hewson, known to the world as Bono. As he aptly referred to himself: he is a rock start with a cause.

While he spoke of this sarcastically as a horrible thing, I have heard many mention how they are sick of hearing him preach and that he shouldn't talk about things he does not know about. To this I have a two comments:  Read More »

I'm going to keep this short, but I absolutely have to mention this:

There are plenty of news articles and blog posts about exactly how insane the proceedings of this trial have been. I am not going to talk about that… I am more interested in the finale of this peculiar modern play.
