We got a call this morning from Jody, who wanted to let us know that she was outraged by PETA’s statement chastising President Obama for killing a fly during an interview with CNBC yesterday.

Here’s the deal. Alisa Mullins wrote this on the official PETA blog this morning about the fly swatting “He (Obama) isn't the Buddha, he's a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act.”

Translated: Even though he was being taped for national television indoors, Obama should have been humanitarian enough to stop what he was doing, think about the compassion he should have for the life of this fly and all who would be affected by its death, and find a more life-friendly way of dealing with this precious, fragile creature, aka the fly.

That’s all well and good, but if you’re going to scold the President of the United States for not having compassion and a life-friendly attitude toward something, shouldn’t it be for something like, say, I don’t know, a human life or more specifically, the life of an unborn child?

This is where PETA gets it wrong time and time again. Don’t get me wrong. I love animals. I’ve taken in my share of strays (cats, raccoons, opossums), but a line has to be drawn between the life of an animal and the life of a human being. PETA obviously doesn’t get that. I’d like to see them get behind the cause of the most popular mammal on the planet – the human race!

This is what Jody called to tell us. She said she rang up PETA before contacting us to give them a piece of her mind, too. Good point, Jody. Well put.

Oh, the horror.

Pro-life blogger Jill Stanek was named “Worst Person in the World” by MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann on June 4. Stanek will be one of our guest speakers at our 2009 Pro-Life Boot Camp in late July.

“…I proudly accept my award. Thank you for the badge of honor, Keith!” Stanek wrote on her blog.



“My award comes for supposedly making the supposedly last 2 late-term abortionists in the free world sitting ducks for Tiller copycat killers by posting their addresses and photos of their mills. Never mind that I didn't actually post the addresses of LeRoy Carhart and Warren Hern (see posts here and here), had I done so it would have been akin to posting the address of President Obama and being accused of making him a target for nutcases.

Libs, get a brain. These guys both advertise on the web. They want people to know where they operate, pardon the pun.

Tomorrow Keith had best make Google the 'Worst Search Engine in the World!' for posting a map and directions to Carhart's Abortion & Contraception Clinic of Nebraska and Hern's Boulder Abortion Clinic....

Furthermore, Carhart and Hern have enjoyed more positive press in the past 4 days than they've had over the course of their sick and sorry careers, gleefully taking every call from every news organization. Suddenly they're brain-sucking heroes. They love it.”


The world needs more “worst” people to stand up for the dignity of life, even if the mainstream media labels you and your readers as wackos. Keep up the good work, Jill.

Jacquelyn Smith, Catholic Pro-Life Committee (CPLC) Youth for Life Director, and her husband Andrew Smith, CPLC Communications Director, welcomed baby Felicity into the world! Felicity was born at 6 p.m. yesterday, weighing 8.9 lbs—the same as 2-year-old big sister Cecilia.




Thank God for small miracles that happen every day. Hey Smith family, way to keep the pro-life movement alive in your home!

The Catholic Pro-Life Committee may or may not put out an official statement about the shooting death of late-term abortionist George Tiller. Until then, we refer to and fully support the statement put out by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops on June 1.
