As if having your kids groped at the airport by TSA isn't bad enough, even those with celebrity status must succumb to the same humiliation as everyone else. If this is similar to what our children must go through this is a complete violation of our privacy and Fourth Amendment rights. Not to mention sexual assault and molestation authorized by our government under the DHS and the Obama administration.  If you really want change don't vote for this administration again and continue to complain and expose the truth about these unconstitutional violations.

An invasive TSA pat-down at the Dallas airport left former Miss U.S.A Susie Castillo in tears. She said the search left her feeling violated, and she likened it to molestation.
Castillo made an emotional video shortly after the incident on April 21.

“I’m sure this woman was just doing her job. But she…I mean she actually…felt…touched my vagina,” she said. “And so I think that’s why I’m crying; that’s what I’m so emotional, because I’m already so upset that they’re making me go – making me do this. Making me choose to either get molested, because that’s what I feel like and, or, or, go through this machine that’s completely unhealthy and dangerous. I don’t want to go through it, and here I am crying.”
Ironically, a TSA nullification bill was filed in the Texas legislature last month, a bill that would ban the full body scanners and make it a crime to preform invasive searches. The legislation would make it a criminal offense to:
as part of a search performed to grant access to a publicly accessible building or form of transportation, intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly: (A) searches another person without probable cause to believe the person committed an offense; and (B) touches the anus, sexual organ, or breasts of the other person, including touching through clothing, or touches the other person in a manner that would be offensive to a reasonable person.

But Texas legislators seem more interested in playing politics, merely bouncing the proposed law around committee.
It’s time to take action.

The Fourth Amendment says:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.
No exceptions. No excuses. No extenuating circumstances.

SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED.
Let’s call this what it was.
A sexual assault.
The fact that the perpetrator wore a badge and acted at the behest of the federal government does not make it OK. In fact, it makes it that much more egregious.
And the state of Texas stood idly by, playing politics because some legislators didn’t like parliamentary maneuvering by the bill’s author, Rep. David Simpson. So they yanked support – took their ball and went home.
In the meantime, Miss U.S.A. had her vagina touched by a stranger in the Dallas airport.
Appalling.

From Susie's blog:

As a frequent flyer, I knew getting a “pat down” was inevitable, but I never expected it to make me so upset.  When it was over, I grabbed my things, walked over to my husband who was waiting for me, and was completely overcome with emotion.

I have never felt more violated in my life than I did that morning at DFW, and I’ve heard of others feeling the same way after these “pat downs.” Just a couple weeks ago, a video of a six-year-old girl being patted down by TSA made headlines. Talk about unjust and unacceptable. So I decided to speak to a TSA supervisor about how I felt, and make a video about what happened to post on my blog.

I came across this video on twitter today and thought it was well done and realistic depiction of what many women must suffer after making the life changing decision to abort their offspring. Once you make that 'choice' you can't turn back time;the clock can not be turned back. The child you abort is a real human being, who through no fault of their own was conceived and created by natural reproduction. Whether a woman is raped or forgot to take her pill or her mate didn't use a condom or it failed, the child conceived is innocent and deserves a chance to live and grow in the safety of the mother's womb.

If you truly do not want your child then let them go and give someone a newborn to adopt. Newborn babies do not sit around in orphanages, they are in high demand. People who adopt usually have money to raise a child and are wanting a child. Children in orphanages or foster care are often older and unable to be adopted due to court proceedings, reunification plans and the age of the child, as well as attachment issues. Not to say there aren't older children who are adopted, but there is never a reason to abort a child who would be easily adopted at birth by loving and caring parents.

In the end, most women choose to keep their child whether they have been raped or not. The mother-child bond cannot be broken once you hold your child in your arms. The woman in this video does an amazing job depicting the anguish many women feel after an abortion, why lose your chance at motherhood because you 'made a mistake'. The mistake you will live with the rest of your life will most likely be your abortion,not your child.

I follow @imaprolifeteen on twitter. I have watched some of Mary's other videos on Youtube for 'teen defenders'& find she has some great insight from a teen perspective. Today she put out a request on a video topic to help teens address the abortion issue. So I asked her to put a video out about abstinence and she did. Her words are simple and great advice for all to consider:

I ABSTAIN FROM SEX. You can too. All you need is will power. We can reduce abortions and the spread of STIs by abstaining from sex.

Here is the video which discusses the issue further:


I hope that Mary's dedication and persistence will inspire other teens to speak out against abortion and join sites like twitter&Youtube to spread the message of life. Despite what many on the pro-choice side say, the goal of teaching your children to be abstinent until marriage is not based solely on religious beliefs but self-respect, health benefits and to help decrease unwanted pregnancies and abortions. Many teens fear their parents and don't talk about sexual urges or emotions and end up getting their advice from friends who might glamorize sex, especially with all the sex in the media and advertising today.

Instead of leaving it to schools, friends or the media, parents need to keep an open dialogue on this topic just as they would about saying no to drugs and drinking and driving. Just as manners are taught at home, morals and self respect should be taught at home and reinforced in school. We don't need Planned Parenthood Pushing Intensive Sex Education for Kids as Young as 10 Having premarital sex is not only a pregnancy risk, but a health risk. You can die from an STD or be afflicted with herpes, or HIV/AIDS for life. Chlamydia can also cause infertility. Not to mention the risks of abortion, even under the current 'safe and legal' abortions. Also see, Teens Killed By Safe Legal Abortion.

In addition, according to recent reports, condoms fail to protect ~1/3 sexually active girls against HPV,the leading cause of cervical cancer, which kills about 7000 women per year. Thankfully more teens are getting the message and recently pop-star Justin Bieber came out and said he is prolife. It is my hope that teen idols like him coming out and speaking against abortion will help influence the younger generation to abstain from sex since teens like to emulate those they admire.

Many on the pro-choice side say abstinence doesn't work, but sex-ed and providing contraceptives such as condoms is the only way to protect against pregnancy&STD's. However, this is not true, if it were effective abortions would not be increasing and we would have less unwanted pregnancies. In fact, the largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood recently reached a gruesome milestone: 5 million abortions. Additionally, while the pro-choice movement claims to support 'choice', such as: adoption and parenting; the largest abortion provider in the US, Planned Parenthood also performed 134 Abortions for every adoption referral in the last year.

If we don't start teaching our kids about abstinence and refraining from sex like we do about the dangers of drugs and alcohol abuse they will not learn to abstain; and they will put themselves in danger. We don't hand our teens the keys to the car along with a six-pack of beer and say wear your seat belt and be safe, so why hand out condoms and tell them to be safe? Neither are effective and neither are responsible parenting. We must teach personal responsibility, including self-respect, along with abstinence from sex, drugs and alcohol in order to reduce the number of unwanted teen pregnancies.

Finally, should they still become pregnant, we need to encourage personal responsibility by having them keep the child and raise him/her or putting the child up for adoption, especially if raising the child would be too much of an economical or emotional burden on everyone involved. We need to become a culture of life that respects all human life from conception to natural death and we need to start by teaching our children the value of life and self-respect by teaching abstinence. If we wouldn't abort a dog or cat's litter;why do we abort our own offspring??

I just learned about this today while surfing the net and thought it was a cute idea for an expecting couple. A gender cake party goes like this:

From Projectwedding.com:

My husband and I would like to do a cake party to find out the sex of our baby. So basically we will have the ultrasound tech put the sex of the baby in an envelope and we will give that envelope to our cake maker. The inside of the cake will either be pink or blue so when we cut into it our family, friends, as well as ourselves will find out what were having. We planned on having our close family and friends over for this big moment....sounds lovely right?

Looks like a fun way to share the news and makes for a great excuse to eat cake and have a party to let your friends and family know you are expecting a new bundle of joy.

Recent headlines of mother's killing their children have been prominent lately in the mainstream news, yet the number of children's lives terminated in the womb before birth continues to go unnoticed by the majority of American's and news outlets.

While any kind of murder, suicide, abuse of a child is horrendous, I find the lack of attention to preventing and ending abortions even worse. There are nearly 3000 abortions per day in the US, most often on healthy fetus and healthy mother's who simply don't want the responsibility &commitment to carry her offspring for nine months.

Those who support abortion claim that more sex-education&access to contraceptives is necessary;yet this has increased since 1973 and the number of abortions have not decreased. There are more abortions performed now than before abortion was legalized and contraceptives are known to fail. Unless people can refrain from taking the risk of getting pregnant before they are ready to become parents the only guaranteed way to prevent unplanned pregnancies is to abstain.

The pro-choice movement claims this is impossible, yet many people and an increasing number of young people are abstaining from sex. Regardless if you choose to abstain or use birth control, the fact remains if and when you take the risk and become pregnant you need to take personal responsibility and be ready to parent or place the child for adoption because abortion is the inhumane choice.

Many pro-choice claim they support choice ie:parenting and adoption;yet the majority of them choose the less humane option and abort. Why is this?

While pregnancy is not always easy on a woman, due to physical demands, hormonal changes and emotional demands or family and career demands, it is the most unique and selfless thing a woman can do that men can't do, bring life into the world.

Yet the mother-child bond has become so easily broken when mother's are given the legal right to end their offspring's lives before they are born. How can this be humane in a civil society that wants to end child abuse and neglect?? Recently a 25 year old mother in New York took her life and that of her three young children under five, while the oldest, the ten year old son was lucky to escape as the van submerged into the Hudson River. The question we all ask is...Why?

"How could she?"

It's the headline du jour whenever a horrific case emerges of a mother killing her kids, as Lashanda Armstrong did when she piled her children into her minivan and drove straight into the frigid Hudson River.Our shock at such stories is, of course, understandable: They seem to go against everything we intuitively feel about the mother-child bond.

But mothers kill their children in this country much more often than most people would realize by simply reading the headlines; by conservative estimates it happens every few days, at least 100 times a year.

Experts say more mothers than fathers kill their children under 5 years of age.
And some say our reluctance as a society to believe mothers would be capable of killing their offspring is hindering our ability to recognize warning signs, intervene and prevent more tragedies.

I would like to add, the problem of mother's killing their offspring starts in the womb. Women have been self-aborting or hiring abortionists to kill their offspring in the womb by the thousands for centuries. While abortion has been legalized in most countries since the 1970's, others have banned it like Chile,Ireland and Poland, where maternal mortality rates have gone down and pre-natal and post-natal care have improved. Sadly, in the United States since the passing of Roe V Wade in 1973, over 53 Million children have been purposely aborted because the mother conceived at a time she wasn't ready. According to Planned Parenthood statistics, around 98% of women who abort choose to abort a healthy fetus simply because they were not planning or ready to become a parent.

This horrendous number is indication of the worst form of abuse and neglect of the mother-child bond, beginning at the earliest stage of motherhood and human development. Until our country stops intentionally killing over 3000 human offspring every day, the abuse and killing of children outside the womb will continue by mother's and father's.

And so the problem remains.

"We've learned how to reduce auto fatalities among kids, through seatbelt use. We've learned how to stop kids from strangling on the strings of their hoodies. But with this phenomenon, we struggle," says Jill Korbin, an anthropologist at Case Western Reserve University who has studied mothers who kill children. "The solution is not so readily apparent."

How common is filicide, or killing one's child, among mothers? Finding accurate records is nearly impossible, experts say. One problem is classification: The legal disposition of these cases varies enormously. Also, many cases doubtless go unreported or undetected, such as very young mothers who kill their newborns by smothering them or drowning them in a toilet after hiding the entire pregnancy.

"I'd say a mother kills a child in this country once every three days, and that's a low estimate," says Cheryl Meyer, co-author of "Mothers Who Kill Their Children."
Several databases track such killings but do not separate mothers from fathers or stepfathers. At the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System reported an estimated 1,740 child fatalities - meaning when a child dies from an injury caused by abuse or neglect - in 2008.

And according to numbers compiled from 16 states by the National Violent Death Reporting System at the CDC Injury Center, 130 children were killed in those states by a parent in 2008, the last year for which numbers were available.

"The horrific stories make the headlines, so we believe it hardly ever happens," says Meyer, a professor of psychology at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio. "But it's not a rare thing."

Meyer and co-author Michelle Oberman interviewed women at the Ohio Reformatory for Women. They found that of 1,800 women at the prison, 80 were there for killing their children.

It's also a phenomenon that defies neat patterns: It cuts across boundaries of class, race and socio-economic status. Oberman and Meyer came up with five categories: filicide related to an ignored pregnancy; abuse-related; neglect-related; assisted or coerced filicide (such as when a partner forces the killing); and purposeful filicide with the mother acting alone.

Different as these cases are, though, there are some factors that link the poor teen mother who kills her baby in a bathroom with an older, wealthier mother, and one of them, experts say, is isolation.

"These women almost always feel alone, with a total lack of emotional support," says Lita Linzer Schwartz, a professor emeritus of psychology and women's studies at Penn State, and co-author of "Endangered Children."

Read the full story at Miami Herald

Therefore, because mother's who kill their children after their born find themselves isolated or without a support system they end up taking their children's lives in hopes of saving them from further potential suffering. I have found this mentality is also a common belief in mother's of aborted babies. Many women I have chatted with say they aborted because they weren't ready to be a parent, often because they did not have the financial or emotional support of the father or her own family and friends.

In summary, until society works to encourage and helps support women in these situations they will continue to act in desperation. Abortion is a desperate act, just as suicide and filicide, the taking of one's children.

According to experts, and as mentioned later in the above article, many women who kill their own children also do it because they think they are being a "good mother" by protecting them from future harm or suffering. This is a fallacy and a selfish way to think about caring for your children. While those who are religious in some way might think they are sparing their kids for Heaven, they are not acting honorably in the name of God. Those who aren't religious should realize that if they truly believe we are given one life to live, then why not give everyone an equal right to live. Nobody knows what their future success will be, but if you at least strive to make the best of your life, your child is likely to follow in your footsteps.

Many will say, those who are born into poverty often grow up in poverty, but this cycle doesn't have to continue if children are raised to make something of themselves and they are encouraged and have mentors that are positive role models. Oprah Winfrey is an example of this, a woman who grew up in poverty and abuse but excelled and became her own brand and a successful talk show host and business woman.

We can't end a child's suffering or potential for struggles by taking their life from them at conception or beyond. For without life we have no rights and no opportunity to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as declared in our Constitution. But, we are all granted with an inalienable right to life and once that life is given we must respect all human life from conception to natural death. Until people learn to respect the value of all human life and honor their offspring in the womb and out of the womb the number of abortions, child abuse, neglect and filicide cases will decrease.

'

This is a satirical look at the thinking of many who support abortion. Especially those who claim they use science to base their facts on. What's funny is these 'bioethicists' have no ethics and don't even need a license to determine what is necessary in medicine and health care. They are the type of people who ration health care, and decide whether a persons quality of life is worthy of additional treatment or if they are better off euthanized. Or in the case of abortion, the video speaks for itself, but it demonstrates how little these 'bioethicists' and pro-choice advocates value human life. Because without treating all human beings equally and giving all the right to life we are denying them not only their human and civil rights, but also their Constitutional right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Without life we can do none of those things and we have no rights for which to stand for.

Abortion and euthanasia deny life, liberty and happiness just because someone else says your life is 'unwanted' or not worth saving. Nobody should have that authority but our Creator who gave us our inalienable rights.

This is what Planned Parenthood tells their clientele&students??

Planned Parenthood talking points:Science is not truth but opinion??
What's in a body can't function outside it's host?
They want focus on birth control not science,like images given when human life begins;a fetus is like a virus attacking you?
Science cannot be applied to my body??

These speakers representing Planned Parenthood remind me of several prochoice activists on twitter. They all must have gone through the same abortion talking point training. These are the same lies many of them say. Talk about indoctrination and brain washing.
