This video is a Planned Parenthood video promotion piece for birth control implants. The video below is a very casual “review” of the implant from a teenaged mom who is using it. Be advised that she speaks frankly about personal body issues. None of the side effects she describes are medically necessary, since the implant itself is not medically necessary. Side effects of Implanon include irregular periods, acne, dizziness, facial hair growth, viral infections, mood swings, depression, anxiety and the... Read more

Remember Yaz? I’ve lost count of the Yaz commercials I saw. Here are a couple of examples. Notice the lack of warning about side effects and the age of the girls this pill is marketed to in the first one.   And another ad pushing Yaz, but this time with warnings:     And the FDA finally takes note of the young women who are dying because of this totally unnecessary medication:   The important thing to remember is that... Read more

America gave China its industrial base and its technology in exchange for cheap/slave labor. These are the weapons we built. SHANGHAI (Reuters) – China has carried out its first successful landing of a fighter jet on its firstaircraft carrier, state media said on Sunday, a symbolically significant development as Asian neighbors fret about the world’s most populous country’s military ambitions. The home-built J-15 fighter jet took off from and landed on the Liaoning, a reconditioned Soviet-era vessel from Ukraine which only came into service in... Read more

Vatican City, Nov 18, 2012 / 04:27 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- During his Sunday Angelus remarks at the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI said that the Sunday gospel reading about the passing of the world is a reminder that Jesus Christ is the focus and source of all creation. “Everything passes, but the Word of God does not change, and each of us is responsible for his behavior before it,” Pope Benedict said Nov. 18, from his window overlooking St. Peter’s Square. “It is... Read more

Jesus Christ is King. That is the summation of our faith. The cross, which absorbs many people, including me, is a stepping stone to the fact that Jesus rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and now sits at the right hand of His Father. Jesus is Lord of our lives. This usage comes from the days when one’s Lord was also his or her master; the ruling agent in a person’s life to whom fealty was sworn. By saying... Read more

Christians seldom hear the good news of their faith from contemporary media. Instead, we are inundated with attacks on the faith which seek to condemn all Christians and indeed Christ Himself based on various “crimes” committed by Christians, many of them hundreds or even thousands of years ago. No one in the popular media talks about the civilization-building influence of Christianity, the total reversal of the view of the value of individual people from that of the ancient world. Instead,... Read more

The grisly logic of abortion is most apparent in the debates and discussions concerning what to do with and for babies who, against all the odds, manage to survive an abortion. In most places, these little ones are discarded. Left alone, untended and untouched, they die the lonely death of a human who has been deemed less than human by other people. As one nurse here in Oklahoma described it to me, “No one does anything to keep them warm... Read more

More and more stores are staying open on Thanksgiving. Black Friday sales were pushed back to Thanksgiving Day in a lot of places yesterday so that eager shoppers could forego the necessity of staying home with their families and go buy things. What does this say about us and our sense of family, community, and even our ability to just stop for one day and be at home? The National Catholic Register ran an interesting article on the topic today.... Read more

A funky Thanksgiving is on the way to my house! My husband and my sons are cooking, due to Gimpy the Foot. I offered, but they were adamant that there was noooooo way that they want me re-injuring the Gimpster by a long-standing session in the kitchen. Not, mind you, that they’re being all that altruistic. As my youngest told me, “You’ve been such a baby about this. I want you back the way you should be.” (I’m assuming he... Read more
