This may be one of the most important things that I think I have ever shared. Regardless of what party you belong too, what your religious beliefs are, or what stance you take on abortion you need to watch this video! It could save an unimaginable amount of lives. It could even save the life of someone you know and love.

I had to share this video that I recently found and I truly hope that everyone will watch it and share it with everyone they know. This is one that everyone no matter who you are man or woman you should watch and share with all your family and friends and anyone else who will listen! 

Have you ever wondered why there are still so many unplanned pregnancies even in this modern age of widely used and available birth control? More women and men use some form of birth control than ever before and yet there are still an astronomical amount of unplanned pregnancies each year, - which leads to more abortions than ever before. Because organizations that are in the abortion industry like Planned Parenthood are purposely giving FAULTY birth control to women. This is truly chilling! Hear the true details of how some "women's health care" facilities purposely give low dose birth control and faulty condoms to their clients knowing that it will result in unplanned pregnancies to bolster their abortion businesses. They make much more money from abortions than they do from any other service they provide. It's time to expose the truth and stop this tragedy from happening! It has already taken to many lives and ruined to many others already! 

It's time to blow the lid off of what is really going on!



Spanish Version click here

Blood Money is a documentary narrated by Dr. Alveda King (niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.), Bloodmoney takes a critical look into the dark origins of abortion, and return with a deeply disturbing picture: how a movement based on racism and population control usurped the momentum of the women’s rights movement to create something truly despicable– a multi-billion dollar industry that literally thrives on the destruction of unborn babies and the traumatizing of young pregnant women.

It’s not about hearsay. It’s not about political bias. They went right to the historical documents and got it from their own lips. The producers went directly to the women involved in the cases that made abortion legal. They went directly to abortion clinic owners.  They spoke directly with women who’d had multiple abortions, and they let them tell of how the industry really works. >As you can see from the trailer, we discovered some very shocking, very unsettling facts. In the documentary you will also see...
  • Evidence that the courts and abortion doctors know that a fetus is a living human being
  • The evidence of a racist agenda in Planned Parenthood, back when it was still called the Birth Control League
  • How the women in both court cases that made abortion legal were duped by their attorneys — and why neither ended up having abortions
  • Proof from former clinic owners that abortion is an incredibly lucrative business, and the manipulative tactics they use to isolate abortion prospects from their support network so they can pressure them into having an abortion
  • Confessions that clinics will sometimes perform abortions on non-pregnant women so they can still make money
  • First hand evidence of multiple doctors conspiring to cover up botched abortions to avoid law suits
  • Testimony from women that abortions have triggered post traumatic stress disorder, suicidal depression, an inability to feel emotion, and other psychologically devastating effects
  • Why abortion clinics have been immune to regulatory control, even regarding basic health codes
  • The story of the abortion video footage that caused a former clinic owner to retire and become avidly pro life (note: this footage is not shown)
  • And much more.
You can watch a shortened twenty minute version of Bloodmoney meant to be shown to someone contemplating an abortion for FREE below. But it is a shortened version and there are many more important and startling facts and stories shared in the full length version so if you can get them to watch the full version that is the best choice the full film is about an hour and 20 mins long. You can order your copy here... http://bloodmoneyfilm.com/spread-the-word/





There is actually a link on Youtube where you can see the entire documentary for free but I HIGHLY recommend you buy this one and support these great pro-life people in exposing the truth about abortion and share it with as many people as you possibly can! It's about saving lives and saving women from the horror that is abortion. Women deserve better than this! If the real truth on abortion where exposed and widely shared it would end now! We have to not be silent and expose the truth to others and end this ungodly practice that is killing our nation and hurting so many in our world today! Don't be silent be part of the solution!


Help Women in Crisis Make a Better Choice

woman after abortion A Powerful Pro Life ResourceWe can pontificate all day about how terrible abortion is. We can dump endless time and money into trying to get the laws changed. But when it comes to what you and I can do today, it’s all about helping young women in a crisis pregnancy make a better choice. And we are hearing readily that young women, when confronted with these truths, are doing exactly that.
So if you want to help with abortion, you don’t have to run for office. You don’t have to donate thousands of dollars if you don’t have it. You don’t even have to go to marches and picket clinics if that doesn’t suit you. All you have to do is keep your eyes open, and when you come across a young women in crisis, be there to listen, to support, and then tell her the truth. If you need to, give her a copy of Bloodmoney. That’s exactly what it’s for.

Today marks the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade and it's companion case Doe v. Bolton. Since 1973 over 55 million children have been killed "legally" in the U.S. through abortion.
 

They call this "choice" and a "right" to women. While they deny the choice and the rights of others, that of their beautiful children who are innocent and have done nothing wrong what about their rights? What about all the choices that they should have and should be allowed to make? God is the giver of all life and he is the only one who has the right to take it. He said in his Holy word "Thou shalt not kill" it truly doesn't get any clearer than that. And for those that aren't believers you have to look no further than our own Declaration of Independence (which also points to the providence and authority of God and rightly so) which states..."We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

There is a reason that LIFE was the first thing that they mentioned when they stated a person's rights. Because without the right to life all other rights are meaningless.

Many want to say that abortion is a political issue but it's NOT it is a civil rights issue it is a human issue it's literally life or death. It is the "choice" to take away every right from another human being.

The abortion industry has recently started a campaign to try to separate themselves from the word "choice" and are thinking of rebranding themselves and moving away from the term "Pro-choice" because they realize that their bottom line is starting to hurt as more and more people realize what abortion really is and what it's doing to not only the children that they are killing, but the women who they lie to and deceive into thinking that it's an easy fix to their problem. The abortion industry tells them  that it's not taking a life it's just a blob of tissue, it's not a baby "yet", it's a just fetus. Those who once worked in the abortion industry like Abby Johnson, Carol Everett, and many others that have since seen the light and now are speaking out and telling what really goes on behind the closed doors of abortion clinics, and the tactics that they use to mislead women all admit this. They have testified stating that to dehumanize the baby everyone at the abortion clinics never, ever uses the word baby or child in a clinic because doing so could put the image and thought that what the woman is actually carrying is indeed a baby into the mother's mind and they might not go through with the abortion if they thought of it as anything but blob of tissue or a fetus. So they always call the unborn child a fetus to try and make it sound like it's not a baby "yet" it's just a bunch of cells that hasn't formed yet. Then they rush them through with the abortion as soon as they can before they can have a chance to think, and change their minds. To them life is not life it's all about money, it's all about the bottom line. They care nothing about the babies they are killing and they care nothing about the women who they are hurting. But these poor women have to suffer the rest of their lives with that decision and the pain and grief that comes along with it. Many of them are tortured and haunted for the rest of their lives by that "choice" and some even suffer physically with problems that affect them for the rest of their lives. Some even die due to the "safe and legal" abortions and the abortion causing drugs they are given.

Each and ever one of us if you want to get extremely technical are still a bunch of cells and blobs of tissue! We are all grown up fetuses! The only difference between us and those beautiful little children that are being killed everyday all over the U.S. is that we had a mother who chose life for us and we were allowed to grow where they were not. We are no better than them and it could have just as easily have been us or those that we love, that those people in the abortion clinics so heartlessly and carelessly dismember and throw in the trash as if we were nothing.

GOD gives each and every one of us life, and every one of us has a living soul that has immeasurable value! Every life matters and is put here for a reason. And when those lives are killed and not allowed to do what they were put here for how much has the world been altered by that? No one can truly know the answer to that, but stop and think for just a moment, what could the over 55 million people who lost their lives to abortion have done to help this world how they could have changed it for the better! What has America already given up and what blessings and invaluable advances to mankind has it already aborted? Who of those children could have grown up and would have already found a cure for cancer, discovered unimaginable new medicines and procedures to help those who are sick and suffering with all kinds of diseases and illness. How many could have been helping to end world hunger, abuses, and injustices. They might have found ways to help countless millions the world over in immeasurable ways but they never had the chance because their lives were discarded as a "choice".

If you believe in that choice are you willing to listen to and truly LOOK at the truth of what that "choice" really is? To truly SEE what abortion really is and does...

Look at this website to see the truth of abortion... http://www.herestheblood.com/

Read and watch the real testimony of people who worked in the abortion industry and find out what abortion is and does...




Testimony of Former Abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino http://prolifeaction.org/providers/levatino.php

So you see Pro-Choice is really NO CHOICE at all and it truly is never the right choice. It only kills one and hurts another. Please if you or anyone you know is experiencing an unplanned pregnancy there is real help available for you that offers life and a good future to both you and your baby contact a life giving pregnancy center in your area and make the right choice of life for you and your baby!

Make the right choice that is good for everyone! CHOOSE LIFE!

Let's all PRAY and work together to end abortion and may God help us to see an end to abortion very, very soon!

How will you honor those who are lost to abortion tomorrow on the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton?  

The thought occurred to me a week or two ago when I was trying to think of some way to honor all the children who have been lost to abortion, and all the women who have been hurt by abortion as well. I thought that white roses would be a beautiful way to pay tribute to them. 

Why a white rose you ask? Everyone knows when people die one of the first things that many people think to do is to give or send flowers. And the more I thought on it I thought that a white rose would be very fitting and symbolic as well on several different levels. A rose is itself is very fragile much like life and if you "choose" to you can crush it and kill, but if you do you loose so much beauty. And if you take care of it and nurture it and let it grow it blossoms and brings forth so much beauty and fragrance to fill your life and the lives of others. The color white because white represents the purity, light, and innocence of every precious life. And lastly but certainly not least, in fact it is the most important is that white is a holy color that represents God and the fact that all men and women are made in the very image of God, who is the giver of all life.  




I personally won't be able to make it to one of the many events and memorials tomorrow marking the anniversary of these horrible laws, but I wanted to share with you all two graphics that I made last week in honor of the over 55 million children lost to abortion. So that if you are like me and can't make it to one of memorials tomorrow you can post these on your social media pages, blogs, etc. in honor of all the beautiful and precious lives lost to us from abortion since 1973 and show that we have not forgotten them, that we will always remember their lives, and that they did matter.




And this one is one that you can use as a profile image or avatar. 



Please feel free to download these images and share them on your own pages, social media sites, blogs, etc. Let's all fight harder than ever to make this anniversary of Roe and Doe the last!

Also there is an online event that will be taking place tomorrow started by Jill Stanek called 
"Ask Them What They Mean By “Choice” Day"  that all pro-lifers can take part in! Read more about it here...http://www.jillstanek.com/2013/01/tomorrow-ask-them-what-they-mean-by-choice-day/
Let's all work together and pray to end abortion!

We are only one week away from the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. What I and many others consider to be the blackest day in American history. No other day in U.S. history is responsible for more deaths of American citizens than January 22, 1973. 

Today I wanted to share a great video that explains why it is so vitally important that we all recognize all unborn children as legal persons by law. It features actual audio from the hearings on the ridiculous argument of if the unborn child was indeed a person or not. Granted they did not have all the technology that we have available today in regards to ultrasound and other imaging equipment but still for these judges who were suppose to be very educated and smart men to rule that they couldn't tell if an unborn child in the womb was a person or not is nothing short of unparalleled ignorance and just down right stupidity. They ignored even the most basic scientific facts in their rulings. Top embryologists, geneticists, biologists and all kinds of physicians in various fields agree that a distinct and new life of a human being is present at the very moment of conception. These are not new revelations they have been widely known and accepted in the medical and scientific fields for many, many years. You need not look any further than even the most basic textbooks of Human Embryology and Biology that "human life" begins at fertilization, or conception, which is the same as fertilization and they have been there for over a century. 

Their horrible and disgraceful judgments (and I say judgments because many again forget that Roe v. Wade had a companion case Doe v. Bolton that was ruled upon the exact same day as Roe. What little was restricted by Roe... Doe came along behind it and removed. Essentially legalizing abortion on demand right up until the moment of birth.) Those rulings have cost the lives of over 55 million children since 1973. All the deaths from all of the wars that America has been involved in since the beginning of the U.S. as a nation combined don't come anywhere close to the number of lives that have been lost to abortion. It is long past time to put an end to the blood bath that has been going in our nation since that day almost 40 years ago. 

This video from Personhood USA shows the vital importance in legally recognizing unborn children as persons and how it would cause all the arguments from Roe and Doe to collapse. Please watch and share it and also visit Personhood USA to sign the petition to recognize all children as what they are PERSONS and our fellow Americans! Let's work together to make this anniversary of Roe and Doe the last!

I made these graphics last week for the upcoming 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. I intend to make a few more in the next week God willing. Please feel free to download these and share them on all your social networking sites, websites, blogs etc. and share them with all your family and friends.

No other court decisions have so greatly impacted our country as Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. They have taken the lives of more Americans than all of the wars that have been fought by the U.S. since it's founding combined. It's truly staggering when you actually think about the sheer numbers of people who's lives have been snuffed out before they ever had a chance to take their first breath outside the womb. Since 1973 over 55 million children have been aborted in the U.S. More than 3,700 are killed everyday that is more than were killed on 9/11. It's like having a disaster worse than 9/11 happening every single day. I ask you why is there not a cry so loud that it could be heard around the world over so many needless killings of our fellow American's?

And we wonder why our country is in so much trouble?

"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."  Mark 12:31 

Is killing our fellow Americans our brothers and sisters love???
 

Please remember to pray for the young women who are struggling with unplanned and difficult pregnancies, pray for an end to abortion, take part in sidewalk counseling in front of the abortion mills, share some pro-life graphics on Facebook or twitter or one of the other social sites you belong too. Share some pro-life stories and videos with others, post links to crisis pregnancy centers. And most of all don't be SILENT talk about and teach others the truth about abortion. Everyone can do something to help. If you are being silent in fear of hurting anothers feelings or being politically correct you (however unintentionally) are part of the problem that has allowed this travesty to continue for these almost 40 years. Please stop and think and ask yourself truly what is more important? Hurting a few people's feelings which if you ever take a stand for anything you are going to do it is inevitable...or saving LIVES??? That includes the lives of the women who are hurting and being damaged for life everyday by abortion. Apathy is destroying our nation. Will you take a stand for life and help to put an end to abortion for the good of all American women, children and men!

Let's all work together and harder than ever to END this tragedy once and for all. 40 years is way far to long, it's time to Abort ROE and DOE!








(These graphics have also been added to the graphics page and the new ones will be added as soon as I finish them. So please check back on the graphics page often for more to share! It's an easy way to get the word out on abortion and about standing up for LIFE!)

Some of the easiest and best ways to get people to stop, take notice, and listen to what you are saying online and even in everyday life is if you share an eye catching image. So I am always on the lookout for great pro-life graphics to share on Facebook and my other social networking sites. Some of the graphics I have found say the message loud and clear without needing many words at all. And others with a combination of the image and the words on them can really deliver a truly powerful message to all who see it! I wanted to take the time today to share a few of the best graphics and pro-life cartoons that I have collected recently. Some may not be really new but their messages are still priceless and desperately needed in the pro-abortion world that we live in today! 
Please feel free to share these on your own social networking sites and link to the great pro-life sites that posted them (I have listed links with the images that I know for sure what sites or groups they came from. If no site was listed the source wasn't listed where I saw the images online almost all of these I got via Facebook. No copyright infringement is intended in anyway.) These can make a person stop and think sometimes where they may not have before. They are a great easy way to get a conversation started on pro-life issues. If you can open the door God willing you will have a chance to change people's hearts and minds and you might just save some lives! :)
This might become a regular post here on Voice for Hope let me know if you like the idea! :) Also if you have a pro-life story that you would like to share please contact me via the contact page and I might feature your story soon on Voice for Hope! 












The rest of these I'm not sure where they are from but they are AWESOME! 
So much truth in these please share! 















I am also adding a page for graphics that I have personally made myself HERE. The permanent link has now been added to the menu as well. Please check back often for more graphics as I will be adding them as I make them.  I have several more in mind that I am going to be making very soon God willing.  Please share the graphics on your social media sites and blogs and help me spread the word. If you wouldn't mind I would very much appreciate a link back so that others might find out about Voice for Hope and that it might continue to grow! I'm almost up to 100 likes now on the VOH Facebook page! It's at 88 now and I would love to see it reach a 100 before the end of the year. The VOH Twitter followers is current at 61 and it would be so great to see both the Facebook and Twitter followers hit 100 by the end of the year but I can't do it alone I need your help to spread the word. If you would tell your friends and family about Voice for Hope I would be so grateful. I also want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who have already followed and liked Voice for Hope! Your support and comments mean so much to me! God bless you all and keep standing up for and being a voice for the voiceless! Let's be their voice for hope!

Wednesday I posted about Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton and about how many don't really know or realize what those cases truly did and made legal for abortion in all 50 states. Today I want to talk about another aspect of both of those landmark cases that many don't know and that the media has helped to cover up in their almost overwhelming support of abortion ever since the rulings of those cases back in 1973.

Both Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton were both built upon lies, deceit, manipulation, and in the words of one of the plaintiffs in one of the cases fraud. NEITHER case by the admission of both of women who were used as the plaintiffs in these cases were based on truth. Which begs the question why with these now known facts have these two cases not been retried and the judgments and decisions in both cases reviewed and indeed overthrown with vast new evidence in recent years on so many fronts that were fundamentally involved in both cases?

"Jane Roe" of the Roe v. Wade lawsuit, whose real name is Norma McCorvey was a very troubled young woman in 1969 and was pregnant with her third child that she did not want. Friends had advised McCorvey to say that she had been raped and she would then be eligible to obtain a legal abortion (with the understanding that Texas's pro-life laws allowed abortion in the cases of rape and incest). But due to lack of police evidence or documentation, the scheme was not successful and McCorvey would later admit the situation was a total fabrication. She was never raped. She also attempted to obtain an illegal abortion but the clinics that she went to had been closed down by authorities. Eventually, McCorvey was referred to attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington who took her case (still based on the false accusation that McCorvey was raped and by the time the case had gotten to trial the lie had ballooned into that she had been gang raped) all the way to the Supreme Court. In the meantime in the time that it took for the case to make it through the courts, McCorvey had given birth to the baby in question, who was eventually adopted. McCorvey never had an abortion herself before or after the famous Roe case. Norma McCorvey revealed herself to the press as being "Jane Roe" of the decision within days of its issuance and stated that she had sought an abortion because she was unemployable and greatly depressed. In the 1980s, McCorvey asserted that she had been the "pawn" of two young and ambitious lawyers (Weddington and Coffee) who were looking for a plaintiff with whom they could challenge the Texas state law prohibiting abortion.

I highly recommend you read her story here it's very eye opening on many points about McCorvey as a person and on the details behind the scenes and what really led up to the Roe case. http://www.paprolife.org/voices/Normas_story.html

Norma McCorvey while working at an abortion clinic in 1995 was befriended by several pro-life advocates and went through a very dramatic change. She was converted and became a Christian. Since then she has become a very outspoken pro-life speakers and advocate as well. McCorvey has since dedicated the rest of her life to helping end the Holocaust of abortion and to see the law that she helped pass overturned. 
  
On January 21, 1998 McCorvey spoke before the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Federalism, and Property Rights of the Senate Judiciary Committee 105th Congress, 2nd Session. (You may read the entire transcript here... http://www.endroe.org/mccorveytestimony.aspx)

She had this to say “My name is Norma McCorvey. I’m sorry to admit that I’m the Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade. The affidavit submitted to the Supreme Court didn’t happen the way I said it did, pure and simple. I lied! Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffey needed an extreme case to make their client look pitiable. Rape seemed to be the ticket. What made rape even worse? A gang rape! It all started out as a little lie, but my little lie grew and became more horrible with each telling.”

"Not only did I lie, but I was lied to. I did not come to the Supreme Court on behalf of a class of women. I wasn't pursuing any legal remedy for my unwanted pregnancy. I did not go to the federal courts for relief. I met with Sarah Weddington to find out how I could obtain an abortion. She and Linda Coffey said they didn't know where to get one. Sarah already had an abortion but she lied to me just like I lied to her! She knew where to get one, obviously, but I was of no use to her unless I was pregnant. Sarah and Linda were looking for somebody, anybody, to use to further their own agenda. I was their most willing dupe.

Since all these lies succeeded in dismantling every state's protection of the unborn, I think it's fair to say that the entire abortion industry is based on a lie.”

Likewise and even more disturbing in it's own way is the true story behind Doe v. Bolton. "Mary Doe" of the companion case whose real name is Sandra Cano was a pregnant mother who was seeking a divorce from an extremely abusive husband (after being the victim of domestic violence for many years) and was also looking for legal help in getting her other three children back who had been taken from her and put into foster care. She never went to the lawyers looking for an abortion and she has sworn under oath that she never wanted an abortion at all nor asked for one at any time. She had always been pro-life and didn't believe in abortion. Abortion was never even mentioned. However she soon became the focal point of the lawsuit that was Doe v. Bolton and was used to legalize abortion on demand and the horrifying partial birth abortions. 

Doe allegations stated that on March 25, 1970 Doe applied to the Abortion Committee of Grady Memorial Hospital, Atlanta, for a therapeutic abortion . . . Her application was supposedly denied 16 days later, on April 10, when she was eight weeks pregnant. Because her application was denied, she was forced either to relinquish "her right to decide when and how many children she will bear" or to seek an abortion that was illegal under the Georgia statutes.

This is not what happened as Sandra Cano has since testified in court and before Congress. She states implicitly "Abortion is against every belief I have. I've never been for abortion. I never went for an abortion. I was not the person they say I was. This case was based on lies." Sandra states that her lawyer, Margie Pitts Hames, tricked her into signing the affidavit that formed the basis of the plaintiff's charges in Doe. "I do not believe it is my signature on the affidavit, and Margie either forged my signature or slipped this document in with other papers while I was signing divorce papers. I never told Margie that I wanted an abortion. The facts stated in the affidavit in Doe v. Bolton are not true." 

There is no record at Grady memorial hospital of her alleged application for an abortion and the hospital has no records of ever treating Cano or even reviewing her case. In fact, she says, she was so opposed to the idea of having an abortion that when her mother and Hames tried to make her have one later on during the case she fled to Oklahoma until they promised that she could keep her child! But Hames managed to persuade her to return and appear in court as a plaintiff in the initial hearing of the Doe case also under false reasons. Then Cano was told that she would appear in the courtroom but that she would not get to speak or even tell anyone her name. Cano stated that "The way she phrased it to me, it was a woman's liberation right. She said, "If you're working a job, and you're doing the same job as a man, don't you want to make the same salary?" I said, "Well, of course." So that's what I thought the issue was about and everything. It's really hard for people to believe something like that. God knows my heart. He knows the truth. I really was that naive and that stupid."

After the end of the case and the decision had been handed down and Sandra Cano learned what all had truly transpired in Doe v. Bolton Sandra tried to get the courts and media to hear her side of the story but they ignored her and refused to let her tell her story. She fought unsuccessfully for many years to have her case records unsealed but was unsuccessful. Finally in 1988, Cano went to some Christian lawyers (one of whom was Michael Farris, who now heads the Home School Legal Defense Foundation) once again to try and have her records unsealed. Hames objected, telling the court that there was nothing more to be gained, that the case was decided 16 years before and that was that. But this time the records were unsealed, and Farris says he was sure enough of the fraud they contained that he and attorney Wendell Byrd asked to have the entire case reopened. That motion was denied, because by then, the law against abortion had been struck from Georgia's books.

Other legal professionals and some people in state legislator have befriended Cano and have worked to verify Cano's story they have an impressive stack of documents to show she's telling the truth. They have letters from attorneys and hospitals, Supreme Court transcripts and affidavits.  



Plaques signed by Norma McCorvey and Sandra Cano - March 23, 1997. These plaques can be seen at the National Memorial for the Unborn.

  
Sandra's plaque at the national memorial for the unborn reads: "I AM SANDRA CANO, I BECAME KNOWN AS MARY DOE WHEN THE U.S. SUPREME COURT RELEASED ROE V. WADE'S COMPANION CASE, DOE V. BOLTON, WHICH ALLOWED ABORTION FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON.

"I AM AGAINST ABORTION; I NEVER SOUGHT AN ABORTION; I NEVER HAD AN ABORTION. ABORTION IS MURDER. FOR OVER TWENTY YEARS, AND AGAINST MY WILL, MY NAME HAS BEEN SYNONYMOUS WITH ABORTION. THE DOE V. BOLTON CASE IS BASED ON DECEIT AND FRAUD.

"I STAND TODAY IN THIS PLACE OF HEALING, THE NATIONAL MEMORIAL FOR THE UNBORN, AND PLEDGE TO THE MEMORY OF THESE INNOCENT CHILDREN, THAT AS LONG AS I HAVE BREATH, I WILL STRIVE TO SEE ABORTION ENDED IN AMERICA."
-SANDRA CANO, MARCH 23, 1997


Sandra has kept good on her promise she has since then started her own Pro-life ministry and is an adamant pro-life advocate. 

In 2003, she went to court herself in an attempt to reverse Doe, arguing that new laws and scientific evidence provide justification for overturning the 1973 decision. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia denied Ms. Cano's motion to reconsider Doe on procedural grounds. 

On June 23, 2005, for the first time, members of the United States Congress heard the truth about the Doe v. Bolton case from Sandra herself. She testified before the United States Judiciary Sub-committee on the Constitution.

She testified, "The Doe v. Bolton Supreme Court decision bears my name. I am Sandra Cano, the former ''Doe'' of Doe v. Bolton. Doe v. Bolton is the companion case to Roe v. Wade. Using my name and life, Doe v. Bolton falsely created the health exception that led to abortion on demand and partial birth abortion. How it got there is still pretty much a mystery to me. I only sought legal assistance to get a divorce from my husband and to get my children from foster care. I was very vulnerable: poor and pregnant with my fourth child, but abortion never crossed my mind. Although it apparently was utmost in the mind of the attorney from whom I sought help. At one point during the legal proceedings, it was necessary for me to flee to Oklahoma to avoid the pressure being applied to have the abortion scheduled for me by this same attorney.

Please understand even though I have lived what many would consider an unstable life and overcome many devastating circumstances, at 
NO TIME did I ever have an abortion. l did not seek an abortion nor do I believe in abortion. Yet my name and life is now forever linked with the slaughter of 40-50 million babies.

I have tried to understand how it all happened. How did my divorce and child custody case become the basis by which bloody murder is done on infants thriving in the wombs of their mothers? How can cunning, wicked lawyers use an uneducated, defenseless pregnant woman to twist the American court system in such a fraudulent way? Doe has been a nightmare.

Over the last 32 years, I have become a prisoner of the case. It took me until 1988 to get my records unsealed in order for me to try and find the answer to those questions and to join in the movement to stop abortion in America. When pro abortion advocates found out about my efforts, my car was vandalized on one occasion and at another time, someone shot at me while I was on my front porch holding my grandbaby.

I am angry. I feel like my name, life, and identity have been stolen and put on this case without my knowledge and against my wishes. How dare they use my name and my life this way!

One of the Justices of the Supreme Court said during oral argument in my case "What does it matter if she is real or not." 
Well I am real and it does matter.

I was in court under a false name and lies. I was never cross-examined in court. Doe v. Bolton is based on a lie and deceit. It needs to be retried or overturned. Doe v. Bolton is against my wishes. Abortion is wrong. I love children. I would never harm a child and yet because of this case I feel like I bear the guilt of over 46 million innocent children being killed. The Supreme Court is also guilty. The bottom line is I want abortion stopped in my name. I want the case which was supposedly to benefit me, be either overturned or retried. If it is retried, at least I will have an opportunity to speak for myself in court, something that never happened before. My lawyers at The Justice Foundation have collected affidavits from over one thousand women hurt by abortion. We have filed those affidavits and a Rule 60 Motion to reverse Doe which is now on its way to the Supreme Court through the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta. I am also giving you a copy of my affidavit in the case. Millions of babies have been killed. Millions of women have been hurt horribly. It is time to get my name and life out of this case and its time to stop the killing."

You can read the full transcript here http://www.endroe.org/sandracanotestimony.aspx .

With it being common knowledge now that both cases were based upon false evidence and lies WHY have these cases not been retried and overturned? WHY with the sworn affidavits of both of these women that the very cases themselves were based upon stating that they were founded on lies, falsehoods, and yes even fraud WHY do they still stand and are costing thousands of innocent lives everyday? These cases are nothing short of a disgrace and a mockery of the judicial system and of the founding principles of the United States themselves. 
   
Those who wanted to see abortion legalized pushed through these falsified cases and under the gross Unconstitutional judgments that were handed down by those judges in the Supreme Court they have cost our country more than can ever be truly be realized. I find especially sickening and extremely sad that the judges in these cases used the 14 Amendment that so emphatically states that no one shall deprive any person of life to legalize the murder of so many innocent and defenseless U.S. citizens. The 14 Amendment states - " All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." 

They took one small peace of that Amendment (the due process clause) and ruled by a vote of 7-2 that a right to privacy under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment would overshadow the right to life for countless human beings who were and are U.S.citizens. SERIOUSLY think about that logically for just a moment. One person's right to privacy justifies them killing another innocent human being.? Under that kind of warped thinking wouldn't any murder be justified because the killer's right to privacy? Just a thought…but it is an extremely scary one! When you open the door to that kind of thinking, where can you legally and morally close it again for other situations? When another person's life can be decided on the by the choice or opinion of another my friends all LIFE at every stage is in danger. It started with abortion but it is quickly going down the slippery slope to opening even more right to life issues. You need look no further than the recent attempts to legalize doctor assisted suicide /euthanasia in several states.


In their decision to legalize abortion which takes the LIFE of an innocent person who is a child and a citizen of the United States they violated not only the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of our country but all of the beliefs that our forefathers founded our great country upon. And yes it is another person's life. Why that should have been such a hard question for supposedly very well educated people as the judges and lawyers in these cases is nothing short of pathetic. Our forefathers realized that children in the womb were people their personhood didn't come into question back then and it never should have been an issue in the first place in these cases it's absurd honestly. Every human being is a person and every unborn child in their mothers womb is a human being from the moment of conception. It is both a religious and a well known and accepted scientific fact. Top embryologists, geneticists, biologists and all kinds of physicians in various fields agree that a distinct and new life of a human being is present at the very moment of conception. These are not new revelations they have been widely known and accepted in the medical and scientific fields for many, many years. You need not look any further than even the most basic textbooks of Human Embryology and Biology that "human life" begins at fertilization, or conception, which is the same as fertilization and they have been there for over a century. 

Read this great article here on the subject 
http://www.all.org/abac/aq0203.htm by Dr.  C. Ward Kischer Ph.D. He states it perfectly in his article, "Abortion, partial birth abortion, in-vitro fertilization, human fetal research, human embryo research, cloning and stem cell research are all core issues of Human Embryology. Yet, in all of the Supreme Court cases since 1973 and at all of the Congressional hearings on these issues, no human embryologist has been called as a witness and no reference to Human Embryology has ever been made. Further, among the NIH Human Embryo Research Advisory Panel, the National Bioethics Advisory Commission, and President Bush's Council on Bioethics, no human embryologist was appointed as a member, nor called as a witness.

Justice Harry Blackmun wrote in the Roe v Wade decision: "we need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins." Blackmun smeared the distinction between the biological (or embryological) meaning with the legal meaning, and conflated the two into his declaration. His inference was that he was talking about biological life without specifically stating so.

From this source followed a science of Human Embryology that has been parsed and perverted, revised and redefined, changed and corrupted. In fact, the transcripts of President Bush's Council on Bioethics clearly show how extreme the adulteration of the science of Human Embryology has become. The media have especially ignored Human Embryology in their many articles on the core issues. The media have preferentially published a distortion of this science while totally ignoring the many references available for factual information. The impact of this on public policy has been staggering. 

Every one of the core issues identified above is ultimately distilled down to the question of "When Does Human Life Begin?"

The answer is there in the textbooks of Human Embryology, that "human life" begins at fertilization, or conception, which is the same as fertilization. It has always been there, at least for 100 years."

Again you can read the rest of this great article at http://www.all.org/abac/aq0203.htm 

The Declaration of Independence states boldly - "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

How very sad how truly far our country has fell from it's great beginnings and how blind, disillusioned, and callus have it's people become when they would deny the first great right of all, that of LIFE, to their fellow human beings. For without the right to life all other rights are meaningless and irrelevant. 

Those judges and lawyers are responsible for the legalized murder and legal holocaust of over 55 million U.S. citizens and legalized the greatest breach of human rights ever to be allowed. Because abortion truly is at it's very core the greatest civil rights violation ever. How is it so different than that of slavery? Both tried to take away the rights of a group of human beings. And just as the evil of slavery was abolished the evil of abortion should be abolished as well!

I pray that God will have mercy on the U.S. and help us to see these abominable cases retried and these laws abolished once and for all very soon. That the men and women of the U.S. will once again embrace a way of life that allows for the LIFE of everyone not just themselves and their loved ones, but for every human being.

This is a question that comes up a lot when you start to talk to people in depth about abortion. I have found personally that many people aren't really aware of the real facts and laws about abortion. Many people still think that abortions are only legal for a certain period of time early on in a pregnancy like in the first and possibly second trimesters. Many think that late term abortions are still illegal at least in most states. So it is extremely shocking to many to find out that indeed abortion is actually legal up until the very moment of birth for any reason and in all 50 states.

When many people are told this by pro-lifers some question whether it's really true or if we are over exaggerating what the law really allows because of our pro-life beliefs and trying to make abortion sound "worse" than it really is. I have had people tell me personally that they thought that late term abortions were still illegal. But the sad fact of the matter is as stated above abortions are completely and 100% legal anytime during a pregnancy in the U.S. from the time of conception until the very moment of birth and for any reason due to the way that the laws were written.

So I wanted to make this blog post to help show others briefly what the laws say and to show. As well as that is not just something that Pro-lifer's are making up to try and further our views on the matter. I'm offering just a short summary of the cases here. I won't go into all the legal wording and points of both cases due to time, however I will post links at the end of the post to where if you can find transcripts and the actual audio from both cases if you would like to learn more about them.

Almost everyone has heard of Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion in all 50 states in the U.S. in 1973, but many have never heard of and aren't even aware that it wasn't the only case that the Supreme Court ruled on in 1973 to legalize abortion. Roe v. Wade actually had a companion case called Doe v. Bolton whose decision in fact was handed down on the same day as Roe on January 22, 1973. The way that the cases were presented and ruled on made it to where Roe actually legalized abortion by ruling that a right to privacy under the >clause of the 14th Amendment extended to a woman's decision to have an abortion. But that right must be balanced against the state's two legitimate interests in regulating abortions: protecting prenatal life and protecting women's health. Arguing that these state interests became stronger over the course of a pregnancy, the Court resolved this by tying state regulation of abortion to the trimester of pregnancy. 

 The Court later rejected Roe's trimester framework, while affirming Roe's central holding that a person has a right to abortion until "viability" which they ruled to be "potentially able to live outside the mother's womb, albeit with artificial aid", adding that viability is usually placed at about seven months (28 weeks) but may occur earlier, even at 24 weeks. Now what Roe didn't legalize Doe came in and finished. Doe v. Bolton (again that was decided on the same day as Roe) removed the rest of the restrictions that Roe didn't legalize by it's broad definition of "health" in the life of the mother exception. In the court's opinion in Doe stated that a woman could obtain an abortion even after "viability" if necessary to protect her health. The key to this is their very broad definition of health which they defined as follows... 


"Whether, in the words of the Georgia statute, "an abortion is necessary" is a professional judgment that the Georgia physician will be called upon to make routinely. We agree with the District Court, 319 F. Supp., at 1058, that the medical judgment may be exercised in the light of all factors - physical, emotional, psychological, familial, and the woman's age - relevant to the well-being of the patient. All these factors may relate to health."


With their very liberal and broad definition of health in light of all these factors that they ruled made it to where any condition that might impact a woman's physical, emotional, psychological or financial well being could be used to obtain an abortion. This effectively wiped out the viability restriction of Roe as well as paved a clear path for abortion on demand for the full nine months of pregnancy. 

Let's make that doubly clear just so there is no confusion on that matter their definition and clause of  accept in the "health or life of the mother" is not what many think that it means. It does not mean that a woman's life must be in extreme danger as one would logically think by that phrase. No, not at all by the Supreme Courts definition it means she can state any reason that might hinder her well being in anyway as a grounds for an abortion. For an example she could state that she would be put under extreme emotional stress due to financial situations because of the pregnancy etc. and therefore the pregnancy is endangering her emotional and physical health. Another example of how easily this can be manipulated is the mother could say that she is going through psychological problems such as depression or anxiety and the pregnancy is making the condition worse and is therefore damaging to her health. Sickeningly if a woman even said that she had bad nausea and heartburn that could qualify her for an abortion legally. The courts extremely broad and virtually interminable definition of the health of the mother restriction is in reality as you can see no restriction at all. It has allowed abortions to be available to women up until the very moment of birth for truly any reason. In essence Roe opened the door and Doe broke down all the rest of the restrictions and barriers for abortion  that were left and that allowed for the system that we still have in place today of abortion on demand and for any reason up until the moment of birth.


I want to share this article that I read several months back on LifeSiteNews.com . It was written by Kelly Clinger and she graciously has gave me her permission to re-post it here. Thank you so much Kelly. Please read this and please share it with others people need to know that things like this are still going on every day all over the U.S. and it's a perfect example of how women are getting late term abortions for any reason. 


Twenty weeks pregnant with twins, but last week she had an abortion
by Kelly Clinger

Wednesday is late term abortion day at Orlando Women’s Center (the clinic where I had my abortions 12 years ago). When I first started visiting the sidewalks of abortion clinics to pray and minister, I had no idea that late term abortions were even legal. I remember hearing about the Partial Birth Abortion Ban in 2007 and assumed (like most) that this stopped abortions late in a woman’s pregnancy.


Shock can’t even begin to describe my feeling when I first counseled on late term day. “These girls are so pregnant,” I kept thinking to myself. Of course that’s silly since there’s no such thing as being a “little pregnant”, but I couldn’t get over the size of their beautiful bellies so full of life. These women have felt their babies kick. Many of them even know the sex of the child and this is sometimes the reason for the abortion. These girls have carried these babies for six months. They are more than halfway done!

I just cried and cried. I couldn’t even speak at first. Not only is the size of their bellies overwhelming but the hardness of their hearts is just as shocking. I began to think about family members, friends, and co-workers of these girls who know they are pregnant. Is our society so lacking of accountability that they will return to their lives and no one will think this is a problem?

This past Wednesday my friend John posted a picture of a girl who arrived at OWC to abort her twin baby girls. She already had daughters and didn’t want anymore. She was about 20 weeks along, but because she was pregnant with twins, she had a big belly. Within a few hours, the picture went viral. I began to get phone calls and emails from friends who had no idea abortions like these happen. Many offered financial help and many offered to adopt her babies. Thousands of people all of over the world were praying that this girl would change her mind…and thousands were saying the picture was a hoax or that what she was doing was illegal.

I found myself repeating over and over again, “Abortion is legal in America up to the day you give birth.” In fact, in our nation’s capital, there are two doctors who “specialize” in abortions this late in pregnancy. One of those doctors has been working with a suspended license for several years. The Partial Birth Abortion Ban only stopped the use of that procedure late in a woman’s pregnancy. Now, as long as the baby is dismembered before removing him or her from the womb, it’s perfectly legal. Look up the laws in your state. Keep in mind that in any state that has exceptions for the health of the mother, this can mean that if a woman has bad heartburn that’s a threat to her health. A late term abortion starts around $2,000 and can go up to about $15,000 depending on how far along a woman is in her pregnancy.

I’ve been to the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC. They have piles and piles of hair shaved off of Jews in the concentration camps. They have millions of pairs of shoes belonging to children who were killed simply because they were Jewish. The pictures of thousands of dead bodies piled on top of each other are shocking and appalling. At one point I decided I couldn’t look anymore. I was disgusted that this could happen without a revolution rising to overthrow a government that would accept murder as status quo.

I know it’s controversial to say this, but abortion truly is the holocaust of my generation. What if we had the bodies of 50,000,000 babies piled on top of each other in a museum somewhere? What if we took all of the clothes they will never wear and toys they will never play with and you had to pay to see them? If each of us had to watch a late term abortion, surely there would be a revolution, right? After the Holocaust ended, German civilians were taken to Buchenwald concentration camp to see the atrocities that happened there. Over and over they were heard saying, “We didn’t know.” Now, because of the internet and social media, we have no excuse for ignorance. The hands of America are covered with blood…perhaps her eyes and ears are covered as well.

The girl I mentioned earlier ended up aborting the twin girls in her womb even though we had every kind of help she would ever need ready for her. She admitted that she didn’t want girls and that she had no compassion for the babies she was carrying. Through a two day process, she actually had to go into labor and deliver her sweet babies into a toilet. Abortions like these happen all over the country every day. I hope that this girl’s picture made many so outraged that they are provoked to do something. When I spend hours on the Planned Parenthood sidewalk alone, I want to cry out “WHERE IS THE CHURCH?”

This article shocked me even though I knew that things like this do go on all the time but knowing it and reading about the details of it and seeing the picture makes it really hit home even more. This kind of story is playing out all over our country everyday. There countless free programs out there to help mothers with crisis pregnancies, as well as crisis pregnancy centers that offer life giving assistance to women and their children free of charge, there are positive solutions and options available to every woman. And every woman and child deserves better than abortion. There are so many loving people that are praying and waiting to adopt a baby who would love those children that others want to abort with all their hearts as their very own. But there are those out there who like this woman have bought into the lies that have been spread and poisoned so many women's and men's minds in the U.S. since the legalization of abortion, that abortion is a quick and easy fix to their problem.

That is why it is more vital than ever to try to get the truth out there and to stop being silent about this issue! It's time to stop worrying about about being politically correct and worrying if by telling the truth that can save women from so much pain and save so many lives we might hurt someone's feelings. We need to be thinking more about that while we remain silent and don't talk about abortion that close to four thousand more children will continue to be killed in the U.S. everyday and being silent and choosing to ignore the problem is not going to stop it. Make no mistake we will all answer for our actions one day whether we do good or whether we do evil and if we knew to do something good and don't we will answer for that too. This is truly a life or death issue and everyone is needed to help speak out and help to change people's minds and hearts by showing them in a lovingly way the truth about what abortion really is and does. Help pregnant women and their children by showing them that there are healthy and good alternatives that will help them and their babies to live happy lives and that abortion is not the answer. It only hurts the mother and kills the child. Don't be silent any longer you never know just how many lives you can truly change and how many lives you just might save by talking to others about abortion and helping them to see the truth.

There are other ways that each and every one of us can help fight abortion you can call and write your elected officials and tell them to ban abortion and to Defund Planned Parenthood from getting federal funding and using your tax dollars to pay for and further abortion. There are even several organizations that have already done most of this leg work for you and you can easily send these messages to your elected officials both locally and federally by filling out pre-made forms on these issues see these great tools at http://capwiz.com/sbalist/home/ and http://takeaction.aul.org/action/


Every life matters and every life can be touched and transformed by the actions of another. Please come back Thursday for a special post about another thing that many don't realize and maybe have never heard. I'm going to be posting about how both Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton were both based upon lies, deceit, manipulation, and according to one of the plaintiffs fraud from start to finish. It's no surprise that the main stream media has tried to keep this under wraps for so long but its past time that the truth was known and that people really start to see just how corrupt and unjust these laws were and how they were equally and unjustly passed.
