This week: The latest issue of New Evangelists Monthly awaits your perusal. Planned Parenthood’s lucrative revenue stream in baby parts continues to thrive. Extreme Christian persecution happening right now in the Middle East. What the secular world offers as fill leaves God’s children empty. The most important thing is for you to be on the right side of history (and accept what you are told that is). The youngest bookworm. A Benedictine monk, sunbathing atop a wind turbine.

Pro-abortion politicians are outraged over the continuing releases of videos documenting Planned Parenthood’s lucrative baby part business. They promise a thorough investigation and heads will roll. Not of PP of course, but of the non-profit who exposed it. PP on the other hand, will continue to receive the annual HALF BILLION taxpayer dollars for vital “women’s reproductive health” services.

In the latest (9th) video, new horrors are revealed (intact fetuses “just fell out”) while abortuary management receives “advisor fee” kickbacks. PP rakes in $60 for each body part. This is what Roe v. Wade has brought us.

Unspeakable persecution of large numbers of Christians continues unabated in the Middle East. Make no mistake, they are tortured, killed, enslaved and raped – including their children – by Muslims quoting their “holy books.”

This is another issue the main stream media has chosen to hide. The Knights of Columbus hopes to raise awareness:

This is a glimpse of the secular ideal. It is a vacuous life, filled with activity yet devoid of meaning, purpose or true happiness. This is not what God wants for us.

Are you on the wrong side of history? You don’t want to be in that boat! Jump into the one, you are told, is on the right side. Sail with the winners!

OK, everybody in the universe (4M anyway) has seen this already, but if you are a hermit you may have missed it. It is the saga of the “youngest bookworm.” He obviously understands the importance of reading in early development!

Even more people (5M) have seen this video of Brother Joseph Byron, a Benedictine monk, relaxing atop the wind turbine that he maintains. The story is here.

Some random thoughts or bits of information are worthy of sharing but don’t warrant their own full post. This idea was begun by Jennifer Fulwiler and is now continued by Kelly Mantoan. So, some Fridays I too participate when I have accumulated 7 worthy items. Thank you Kelly for hosting this project!

This week: Two more videos have been released to further document Planned Parenthood’s highly immoral and illegal practices. How would defunding Planned Parenthood actually impact women’s healthcare? Logically, from a secular and non-religious perspective, is abortion moral? Lutheran Satire looks at the “great apostasy.” Jeff Harris illustrates the key to sin’s shackle. Millennials explain the difference between Democrats and socialists. A magic carpet (sort of).

The Center for Medical Progress has been more effective in budging public opinion on abortion and Planned Parenthood then most recent pro-life efforts. The horror is not of organ harvesting but in the taking of innocent lives. We must not forget that or accept this as business as usual.

The CMA has released the 7th and 8th videos. The 7th documents the “harvesting” of a baby’s brain (while still alive). The indifference to human life is astounding.

In the 8th video, we see how the baby organ selling business at Planned Parenthood is thriving. The buyers want to bump their order by another 50 livers per week.

Pro-aborts, particularly pro-abortion politicians, still refuse to watch these videos.

BONUS: if you know someone who has not watched these but who might watch a summary, CMA has also released such a video:

There are SO MANY lies told by PP (and repeated by their admirers) that it is almost overwhelming. One lie is the catastrophe we will bring upon women who will lose healthcare in many areas served only by PP. Or so they claim, falsely, over and over.

Dennis Prager looks at the morality of abortion, in a secular, logical, non-religious way. Additionally, for this argument, he also sets aside the issue of legality. This asks only: is it moral?

Our friends at Lutheran Satire make many good points. Why they made this video confuses me. To my Catholic eyes, it indicts them almost as much as the more recent Protestant denominations.

Jeff Harris at Sword of Peter illustrates a simple truth:

This is an interesting video. Millennials are asked to differentiate between Democrats and socialists. I appreciate the difficulty in answering that. Draw your own conclusions.

Segways are really cool, but expensive and not portable. The perfect Segway would be only the platform under your feet. It would be thin, easily portable, and look more like a MacBook Air than a transportation device. It might be this:
