UW-Stevens Point pro-life display vandalized by student government member

From LifeSiteNews.com:
After having their display vandalized on the night of April 30th, several members from the UWSP pro-life group, Pointers for Life, were repairing the display around 11am on the morning of May 1st when a group of angry students, lead by UWSP Student Senator Roderick King, began to walk though the rows, taking crosses from the ground and throwing them.

King began to voice his complaints and said that Pointers for Life had "no right" to display the crosses, and that it was "his duty as a paying student" to take them down. 

When the campus Protective Services officer arrived, most of the students stopped vandalizing the display; however, Senator King did not stop.  He claimed, "The freedom of speech does not cover these signs and symbols!" Only after the Protective Services officer threatened to make him pay for damages did Senator King stop.

Funeral Mass held for aborted babies found in Michigan dumpster

 

Felician Sister Clare Klein offers flowers at the grave of the Hodari Babies, buried May 3 at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery, in Southfield, Michigan, Cemetery Section 71.

On May 3, more than 300 mourners gathered at St. Gerald's Church in Farmington, Michigan for the funeral Mass for 23 victims of abortion.  The aborted babies were retrieved from trash dumpsters at the WomanCare abortion facilities in Michigan owned by abortionist Albert Hodari. Bishop John M. Quinn, Auxiliary Bishop of Detroit, offered the funeral Mass.

 

Pro-lifers retrieved the babies on February 24 and March 2, amid bio-hazardous waste and numerous patient records.

HPV vaccine: Preventive care or human sacrifice?

 

Reports of adverse reactions to the new HPV vaccine Gardasil are escalating. One particularly heart-wrenching example is the story of 12-year-old Brittany, who lost all feeling in her leg and collapsed two weeks after receiving the Gardasil vaccine.

Adding insult to injury, people who are injured by the vaccine cannot even sue Merck, the maker of the Gardasil vaccine, because it is part of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Fund.

While the FDA claims adverse reactions to Gardasil are rare, a review of the U.S. Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) data shows that several thousands of adverse reactions have been reported in the United States alone. And hundreds of Australian girls have experienced side effects like paralysis, dizzy spells and seizures, but Australia's Department of Health and Ageing refuses to release any details.

Largest crowd ever participates in Canadian March for Life

 

From LifeSiteNews.com:

A massive crowd of pro-life demonstrators, the majority of whom were youth, gathered on Parliament Hill in Ottawa today to issue a call to legislators and Canadians as a whole to put an end to abortion in Canada. An estimate given by a police officer to Campaign Life Coalition president Jim Hughes was that a record-breaking crowd of 8,000 people participated in this 11th annual March for Life. Several other crowd-counters came up with almost identical numbers, making the 2008 March the largest March in the history of the pro-life event.
