The Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops (LCCB) has come out in favor of emergency contraception for cases of rape, despite the abortifacient nature of the measure and the Vatican’s insistence that it is morally impermissible.
In recent comments to Louisiana newspaper The Advocate, Tom Costanza, executive director of the LCCB, which speaks on behalf the Louisiana Catholic bishops on matters of public policy, endorsed a new state law requiring hospitals to dispense emergency contraception to sexual assault victims.
Act 513, passed in anticipation of the reversal of Roe v. Wade and signed last month by Gov. John Bel Edwards, a professed Catholic, requires “all licensed hospitals in this state” to offer emergency contraception pills to rape victims on demand.
“The treating healthcare provider shall inform the victim of the option to be provided emergency contraception at the hospital or healthcare facility and, upon the completion of a pregnancy test yielding a negative result, shall provide emergency contraception upon the request of the victim,” the bill states.
Support CPCs that are under attack by violent abortoholics by purchasing this great way to lower weight, a portion of proceeds goes to the work of PFLI in its mission to supply low cost prenatal vitamins, pregnancy tests and supplies to CPCs.
Want to help CPCs do their volunteer, unselfish support for crisis pregnancies? You can order this great aid to reducing weight and feeling healthy, while a portion of proceeds is donated directly to PFLI in its work of providing low cost prenatal vitamins, pregnancy tests and supplies to CPCs.
March for Life 2016, like many pro life groups, seems to embrace faux science, even in the face of repetitive fraternal corrections, says Prof. Dianne Irving, in her recent piece discussing the matter. It is not a matter of not knowing, but rather choosing to embrace outdated or ill informed statements that have no bearing in scientific data.
One such phrase that drives ESH up a wall is “from conception to natural death”, often quoted by religious and pro-life sources, which is prima faciae a gross scientific untruth. Such a phrase rules out defending the right to life of babies conceived by artificial means (e.g. IVF, ART, et alia) and natural means (e.g. twinning in the womb of identical twins).
Read Irving’s well elucidated truth in the link above and…PLEASE…stop using faux science and calling it pro life.
As end of year time brings us the need to select benefits for next year, ESH is just recalling all the upside benefits and selling points of Mohammedanism…
Here’s a great money report on how fund sent to Klan Barrenhood, over $500 million of it in taxpayer money, ends up supporting abortohilic Dems or opposing pro-life Republicans.
Sickening. It’s a money laundering scheme, akin to the union “dues” that heavily flow back to pro-union Dems:
BOUGHT AND PAID FOR —-
WITH 500 MILLION OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS
According to publicly available federal campaign donation records, every single Senator who voted not to defund Planned Parenthood, except one, has been awarded money from the abortion giant.
In order to fund nearly every Democrat in the U.S. Senate who voted against defunding Planned Parenthood, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund (PPA) and Planned Parenthood Votes (PPV), have spent $1,609,498. Roughly 2/3 of this money was spent in 2012 alone. “Planned Parenthood Action Fund”

From Greater Cincinnati RTL release today:
“The Center for Medical Progress has released its seventh video, entitled Human Capital – Episode 3: Planned Parenthood’s Custom Abortions for a Superior Product. Featured is a former StemExpress procurement technician describing abortion of intact babies bodies, then dissected for sale and distribution for research.
“Planned Parenthood abortionists manipulate babies before abortion so that they are aborted as complete as possible,” said Paula Westwood, Executive Director, Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati. “Some of these helpless intact babies still have a beating heart–the universal sign of life–but are still cut into pieces, while Planned Parenthood is treated as a legitimate healthcare provider.”
And tell Croatian Janko Kasich, a fallen away Catholic, to put up or shut up saying he’s pro-life and quoting Matthew 25 when it suits his politics. Please remind him he should appoint pro-life people to the state boards of pharmacy, medicine, nursing, etc, as these boards that he appoints are already loaded with people supporting the contraceptive/abortion mentality. We need equal time.
And also ask Janko to stop blocking passage and signing of the Heartbeat Bill while he’s at it.
You work hard for your zlotys. It takes prudence and discernment when and how much to contribute to your fave charities.
So, do the same when you donate to any of the usual fall campaigns, especially those promoted or pushed by your employer. This time of year, it’s United Way for many corporations and the Combined Federal Campaign for governmental employees.
You can do the alternate and ask that any donation be given 100% to PFLI, a total protection 100% pro-life group of devoted pharmacists, technicians and lay people who operate as all volunteers on a shoestring budget. Contact PFLI for more info.
Do the diced, sliced and minced aborted babies a favor. Boycott United Way this year. You have lots of reasons to do so. I’ll let Students For Life ‘splain it from their recent email letter:
“This week the U.S. Senate failed our nation, failed our children and families and made an embarrassment out of a government that is sworn to protect the right to life. They failed to defund Planned Parenthood. In fact, 40 Senators voted to keep sending over half a billion dollars to Planned Parenthood, who has been caught on video haggling over the price of baby body parts and talking about how to skirt the law that bans the selling of these baby body parts.
You may be asking yourself, what can I do? Or you may have participated in one of the 65+ #WomenBetrayed rallies last week and want to do more to defund Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood gets close to 46% of its total revenue from the government (aka taxpayers) and we are working hard to stop that money from ever going into Planned Parenthood’s bank account again. But did you know that Planned Parenthood gets a quarter of its revenue from corporations and other organizations?
One specific organization – United Way – sends almost $2 million every year to Planned Parenthood through 67 of their affiliates. They say that the money goes towards education inside of Planned Parenthood.
Oh really? You can’t just donate to Planned Parenthood and say your donation is earmarked for utilities or staff or paper clips but not abortion. The building and the staff and the utilities all contribute in some way to abortion and are involved it.
Any money whatsoever going to Planned Parenthood in any way contributes to the more than 327,000 abortions they commit every year and the harvesting and selling of the body parts of aborted babies.
Students for Life of America and LifeSiteNews have partnered together to launch Boycott United Way in efforts to put pressure on the organization to stop funding Planned Parenthood all together.
You can send an email directly to the president of United Way at www.boycottunitedway.org and ask him to stop funding Planned Parenthood right now.
Two million dollars is a lot of money. We have to stop every cent from going to Planned Parenthood. They are the nation’s abortion giant, doing one of every three abortions – and selling who knows how many baby body parts.
At www.boycottUnitedWay.org, you can also contact each individual United Way affiliate and demand they stop sending money to Planned Parenthood.
United Way does a lot of good but Planned Parenthood was caught selling the body parts of aborted babies for profit. These are the most vulnerable in our society. If we allow for this kind of atrocity, what does that say about the state of this country, about the state of our souls as human beings that we would allow a baby to be aborted and sold piece by piece?
Go to www.boycottUnitedWay.org now and send a letter to the president of United Way demanding they stop funding Planned Parenthood now.

Think the soulless ghouls at #KlanBarrenhood are a new phenomenon? No, they antedate Kermit Gosnell. ESH has been reporting on the merchants of baby body parts for 30+ years.
Case in point, here’s a 2012 story on Korea seizing “aphrodisiac” pills made in China by the commie government out of minced aborted baby body parts.
These monsters need to be #prosecuted and #jailed. Read it here….
It’s a sick, sick world in the land of soulless ghouls involved in Abortoholism, where they violate multiple laws, rip babies from their mothers’ wombs and sell the body parts like chattel.
There’s hue and outcry over Cecil the Lion, who’s fatherless cub was killed now by a rival male lion. But none for the millions of babies shred and sold like a slave at the market. The dripping hypocrisy of the left is telling and will leave many to be judged and judged harshly by the Pantocrator in due time.
Here’s the 6th and latest video from the Center for Medical Progress on #KlanBarrenhood and their gruesome continuing satanic story:
ESH strongly encourages all readers to join enmasse to #DefundKlanBarrenhood. #PPSellsBabyParts.
The big national rally protest against #KlanBarrenhood will be Saturday, August 22. People will be participating in over 180 cities.
Do try to join in your locale. For more info, see here….
Selling “crunchy” baby body parts so a medical director can buy a Lamborghini? The largest domestic terrorist group is crying foul.
It is readily apparent that the cries of Klan Barrenhood about being persecuted for 10 years by peaceful, prayerful, non violent pro-lifers ring hollow to anyone paying minimal attention to the abortion wars.
“…Let the public be reminded that Planned Parenthood has been harassing pharmacists for 15 years or more, in an attempt to force the pro-lifers to dispense abortifacient drugs, with their efforts leading to success in a number of states. In fact, Planned Parenthood of Southwestern Ohio intervened directly in the employment lawsuitbetween this pharmacist and K Mart way back in 2001, in order to delay the inevitable outcome…”
They were also active behind the scenes in the persecution of IL pharmacists by the convict Rod “Slobodan” Blagojevich going back to at least 2005. “Slobodan” worked with Walgreens executives to harrass and fired pharmacists with a conscience–sometimes during the overnight graveyard shift–as he had the IL assembly pass an illegal act, later overturned by all competent courts on the matter. Even a diktat from a felon Serbian ex-governor does not trump civil and religious rights of pharmacists in the workplace. PP was right there, egging Blago on.
Says Pharmer in the same piece: “Planned Parenthood has been attacking pro-life health care professionals and Crisis Pregnancy Centers for decades.” Let’s not forget their role in various states working to illegally strip the rights of religion and conscience for pharmacists and other health professionals, as well as harassing CPCs, as they did in CT and NY under Client #9, the ex-gov. and ex-AG Sidney Blumenthal.
In a wierd volte face, the GOP is fighting and clawing for OTC abortifacients (e.g. the Pill, Plan B, etc) and the Dems and Klan Barrenhood–the largest domestic terrorist group–are fighting AGAINST the measure. At least as far as who will pay for these carcinogenic abortifacients.
Naturally Sen Patty Murray (D-WA) and fellow abortoholics want more dead preborn babies and more womyn polluting their bodies with these high dose steroids. And GOP members led by some rookies like Cory Gardner (R-CO) and the two NC senators, are all for it, but not on the Obamacare ATM ride. Gardner, in fact, ran on the issue in his run last year for the Senate
Go figure!
The bill upholds requirements in the Affordable Care Act mandating access to prescription birth control covered by insurance companies, so over-the-counter birth control would be covered without new costs.
“I believe strongly that women should be able to get the comprehensive health care they need when they need it, without being charged extra, without asking permission and without politicians interfering,” Murray said.
So do Republicans, according to Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., who unveiled a GOP proposal late last month that also aims to make birth control pills available without a prescription. The bill makes good on a campaign pledge by Gardner in his successful election against incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Udall. The race focused almost singularly on women’s health care and reproductive rights.
Gardner’s bill would allow for over-the-counter birth control, and includes a proposal that would allow women to pay for it through health savings accounts. Gardner’s bill would put an age restriction for access to adults 18 years and above; Murray’s plan has no age restrictions.
This will mean more chemical abortions, more womyn contracting various cancers from these toxic steroids, and more health care costs related to the hundreds of side effects that womyn suffer from these abortifacients. And if approved, that will mean less follow up and care for womyn procuring these carcinogens OTC.
Although it may get some readings and generate some heat rather than light, the proposed bill in the OH Assembly–Abortion Inducing Drugs–will be DOA. Even if it were to pass the rigorous task of clearing the House and Senate, RINO Gov John “Janko” Kasich, busy getting ready for a presidential run, will also likely ignore it as well.
Why?
The bill only talks about the sole drug with an abortion indication–mifepristone–which is often used in combination with the protsaglandin misoprostol, the latter which increases contractions. the former which literally “starves” the developing baby of needed progesterone from mom early in the pregnancy.
The news release from Cincy RTL, while well intended, only addresses one other drug used as an abortifacient, methotrexate (MTX), a drug developed for cancer and also used in certain drug-resistant forms of thematoid arthritis.
It totally misses or intentionally ignores the other common abortifacients that makes some “pro lifers” squeemish and squirmy: the combination oral “contraceptive” Pill, Plan B (and its generic versions), ella (the chemical cousin of mifepristone…gasp!), Depo Provera, Implanon, various IUDs and so on…all ignored in the release and the bill. don’t want to offend those who are killing millions of preborn babies via their faux “contraceptive, now do we?
ESH guesses what the OH legislators and their non-pharmacist “consultants” at various pro life groups coulda-shoulda done was consult the real drug specialists in the pro life community the past 31 years, Pharmacists For Life International. ESH has confimed that never occured, a common snub by compromising pro life groups filled with “know nothings”. PFLI is a total protection, 100% pro-life group which doesn’t compromise on principles and that usually too much to bear by those who would, such as National RTL and Ohio RTL.

The great Springtime of Renewal promoted non stop by the modernist neocon Catholics, including all the way to the top, continues to sputter, falter and show continued signs of regression, not progression.
To think otherwise is to have the same psychiatric delusions of say, a Caitlyn Jenner. Just cause you want it don’t mean it will be so. If that were true, ESH would be the King of France. Yet we all know Hollande and his socialist friends won’t let ESH run things in Paris.
Read and weep. The Church in Amerikka is, and has been, missionary ground, if only the collegial conciliar fanatics would only have the same zeal for forming new vocations as they do for, say, ecumania and statements on the environment which they prefer to worship, rather than the Creator of that environment. Leaving them standing much as the profane, secular world that masonically worships man rather than the One, Triune God.
So Amerikka will import priests from Africa and Asia, if any remain after ISIS murdering ways. And some from places such as Poland, ravaged for decades by godless atheistic communism, now reeling as the West does from materialism, the flip side of communism.
On a positive note, despite the hostilities by the conciliar church leaders to conversion, a number of protestants (including former “ministers”) are making their way into the One True Church of Christ, several of them via the Byzantine and other Eastern Rites, where more sanity has prevailed since the revolution of Vatican II. But even there, all is not well. Ten years ago the Divine Liturgy of St John Chrysostum–the Mass of the Byzantine Rites–changed the millenial Nicene Creed to remove that long time bogey man of the Orthodox world, the filioque, conceding that the Holy Ghost proceeds from only the Father.
Only in the Traditional Rites does one see growth in vocations since the 1960s. One example: St Thomas Aquinas Seminary is bursting at the seems so much, that the SSPX is poised to open a new huge seminary in rural Virginia, moving that operation from Winona, MN where it has been for almost 30 yrs because they just cannot hold all the young men seeking a solid orthodox training and the insurmountable obstacle to heresy found in the Tridentine Rite Holy Mass. It’s getting hard for the dicosese of Richmond, VA to ignore them anymore.
In Pittsburgh, the SSPX took back once Catholic Sts James Church in the city’s West End right from under the nose of Bishop Zubik, after the diocese closed it in 2004. Zubik’s “inclusive” response was nothing short of a woman scorned with a fury reserved only to the faithful of Christ’s only True Church.
So much mercy, so much caring, sharing and “new evangeliszation” examples adorn these remains of the Novus Ordo’s “square earth society”.
Please pray for the repose of the soul of this saintly priest who took his vows quite seriously, and worked tirelessly–at the cost of much calumny and vituperation against his person–for the Message of Our Lady of Fatima of repentance and conversion, and the still-to-be-performed consecration of Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary by the Holy Father in unison with all the world’s bishops at the same time.
He never enriched himself from his aposolate and lived ascetically by today’s materialistic standards by many religious.
He was devoted to the Immemorial Tridentine Rite Mass as he progressed in years. He was fearless against attacks by enemies of the Faith, the Church and Our Lady, to Whom he was assiduously devoted.
ESH was fortunate to meet Fr Gruner several times, either at his own Center’s conferences or at one of the many times he spoke at Human Life International conferences.
Requiescat in pace!

from Catholic Family News editor John Vennari…
Father Nicholas Gruner
Requiescat in pace
By now you probably heard about the sudden death of Father Nicholas Gruner. He died of an apparent heart attack on April 29 around 7:00 pm while working at his office in Fort Erie.
Father Gruner was truly the world expert on Fatima. I can say this as one who worked closely with him for over 20 years. He was more knowledgeable on this subject, and on the true nature of the Fatima Message than anyone else. His devotion to Our Lady was strong and genuine.
Please remember Father Gruner in your prayers, a good personal friend and true Catholic Crusader.
In the Immaculate Heart,
John Vennari
Below is the announcement from the Fatima Center:
Rest in Peace
Father Nicholas Gruner
May 4, 1942 — April 29, 2015
The Management Team of the Fatima Center sadly announces the death of Father Nicholas Gruner, who passed away suddenly this evening.
Father died at his office, working to his last breath on the goals to which he dedicated his 38 years in the priesthood — the promotion of the Message of Fatima, especially the release of the full Third Secret and the Consecration of Russia to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart.
Details concerning the wake/visitation and funeral for Father will be announced in the upcoming days. For now, in your charity, please pray for Father and for his Apostolate, which will continue to seek to bring his life’s work to a successful conclusion.
We all know from expeirence in the abortion wars, that the abortoholics–those lovers of killing innocent preborn babies with glee but recoiling at, say, killing a caribou to survive–have wanted to impose THEIR immorality on the rest of normal, life loving everyday folks.
They did so in 1973 with the twin abortion decisions of Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton. They did so with the 1963 Griswold v Connecticut “contraceptive” decision. And with many other lawsuits, to many to mention.
With Obamacare, socialized medicine, they want to ram “contraception” and abortion down everyone’s throat, to like it, AND to pay for it. Without apologies. Although some of those impositions are being rolled back–5 decisions now have upheld conscience religious rights of employers and others–many have not. And that doesn’t include at least 38 instances where the Kenyan kommie has rewritten Obamacare rules on his own, by fiat, by his diktat.
Count on it soon: as part of the Kenyan kommie’s war on Christianity and life, it will soon be mandated: kill or get out of pharmacy or medicine. Period.
See here to get an idea where this is heading. It’s parallel twin evil is making sodomites mainstream, loveless sewer “luv” without the requisite propagation of human life as happens with normal marriage within the institution meant only for one man, one woman.
We can look to a famous propagandist for his view on rights of conscience for health professionals:
Well, we now have two biosimilars approved in the US with the FDA’s marketing approval of Sandoz / Momenta’s copycat version of Copaxone for relapsing-forms of multiple sclerosis (RRMS), a chronic disease of the central nervous system characterized by inflammation and neurodegeneration.
Glatopa (which sounds like something ESH’s parents left behind in stari kraj) will be the real game changer in the world of biosimilars. Maybe.
The first biosimilar approved (also from Sandoz….. a copy of Amgen’s Neupogen) doesn’t and won’t have the same market-changing impact in a well-defined therapeutic category like MS – so this would be the one to watch, ESH thinks.
Çekaj! TEVA, the Israeli firm which is very steamed up about this copycat stealing their market share, is still likely to find yet more roadblocks to keep Glatopa off the market (even the US Supreme Court refused to stop Sandoz) – at least for a short while.
We know that the ‘naming’ convention issue has not yet been settled with the FDA. So will the package insert say the same as Copaxone – glatiramer acetate injection? Curious minds want to know! And, the regulations related to ‘interchangeability’ have yet to be issued by the FDA.
So, will Glatopa be listed as an A/B rated product? Or some other designation? In the article here there is a clear reference to being fully substitutable at the pharmacy level. (Remains to be seen.)
Also, what about all those states (we know the Kenyan kommie thinks there are 57) that have a say in pharmacy regulations and some even have legislation already passed making biosimilar launches very difficult as we have covered in earlier alerts.
Another important point from reimbursement standpoint and economic impact to health plans and governmental payers: the cost for Glatopa has not been released (that’sno surprise…. Sandoz still has to factor in all their legal expenses and other A&O costs to get this product to market).
That may be one of the most interesting elements of this journey to the biosimilar side.
