Comments:

As is being done in Ohio for Issue 1 (Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety Amendment) pro-choice advocates are pouring vast sums of money into Virginia to promote legislation disregarding “the sacredness of human life” that includes the preborn as well as “the vulnerable who cannot protect themselves.” In Ohio, the proposed amendment would eviscerate parental rights; minors would be able to “obtain abortions and life-altering medical procedures without parental consent.” A Catholic priest in Ohio urged voters to reject the “demonic” pro-abortion amendment and send it “back to hell.” Virginians, Ohioans, vote to defeat evil.

We need more conservative bishops to speak out and use these issues as teaching moments, not only for the faithful, but for the wider society. Christ taught us to be the yeast in the bread. He sent his Apostles out into a hostile and pagan world; they and their disciples transformed it over a few hundred years. The work of evangelizing is never done as the battle between good and evil waxes and wanes. We happen to live in a time of apostasy. It is a time of great opportunity to share and spread the Gospel of Christ. If looked at in a certain way, we live in very exciting times for Christians. The missionary field is huge!

All the Catholic bishops should be saying this. Yes, the risk is that our secular government will revoke their tax status in retribution, but so be it.

Planned Parenthood is an organization that proclaims a lie. It has nothing to do with parenthood, it's only function is the practice of killing babies for profit. Even the flesh of the unborn is harvested for profit.

The schism in the Catholic Church is very real and getting worse. Pro-choice Catholics sincerely believe they are on the right side of the abortion issue. They have talked themselves into believing that the “choice” part supersedes the life part. In addition, there are Catholics that are very much anti-abortion, but hold their nose and vote democrat anyway because they feel the democrat will serve the wider mission of the Church. In fact, IIRC, Catholics were “given permission” by the Church to vote for Obama, even though he staunchly supported partial birth abortion, a particularly cruel and grizzly procedure.

AMA Considers Endorsing Killing Patients
in Assisted Suicide

The American Medical Association (AMA) will debate whether to reverse its stance on assisted suicide this month at its next interim meeting. A set of resolutions, proposed by AMA’s Resident and Fellow section, suggest the AMA should abandon its opposition to assisted suicide, adopting instead a neutral stance on the practice. The resolutions also propose changing the official language from “assisted suicide” to “medical aid in dying” (MAID) at the meeting,[Snip] These proposals, if adopted, fundamentally change the AMA’s position on assisted suicide. The AMA determined in its last policy deliberations that assisted suicide is “fundamentally incompatible with the physician’s role as healer.”

Ohioans vote Tuesday on Issue 1, a referendum question that would write abortion on demand through birth into the state constitution.

No restriction on abortion prior to birth would be constitutional in Ohio. [Snip] Not requiring doctors to be have admitting privileges in a local hospital.

LANSING, Michigan - Michigan Democrats continued their push to remove any limits on the intentional killing of preborn babies up until the moment of birth, with a late-night passage on Wednesday of House Bill 4949. The “Reproductive Health Act” legislation follows up on a vote last November to enshrine a “right” to abortion in the state constitution.[Snip]Although the legislation will allow for the unrestricted killing of preborn babies at any stage of the pregnancy, it did not go far enough for Planned Parenthood, which criticized the minimal restrictions still in place.

CINCINNATI, OH - Just days ahead of a statewide vote on whether to enshrine abortion “rights” in the Ohio Constitution, vandalism is reportedly on the rise against Catholic churches in the Buckeye State. On November 7, Ohioans will vote on Issue 1, the proposed “Right to Reproductive Freedom with Protections for Health and Safety Amendment,” [Snip] According to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office, the amendment would go far beyond even the Roe v. Wade and block prohibitions on partial-birth and dismemberment abortions, allow abortionists to target disabled babies, and end parental consent requirements for abortion as well as minors’ contraception, sterilization, and “gender transition” decisions.
Medicare Advantage is great. Except for taxpayers 16 replies

Every year, from mid-October to early December, millions of Medicare beneficiaries get the chance to pick a new health plan. With dozens to choose from and a blizzard of advertising, more seniors are going with the simplest, cheapest option: privately run plans known as Medicare Advantage.[Snip]Yet Medicare Advantage has drawbacks--notably, its exorbitant cost. Government reports show the program routinely overcharges taxpayers relative to original Medicare--to the tune of $27 billion this year alone--at a time when the system’s solvency is at risk.[Snip]How did Medicare Advantage become, as one study put it, a “money machine”? (Or, less charitably, a “great big rip-off”?)

DAYTON, OH – On Wednesday, October 25th, Womens Med Dayton, Dayton’s remaining abortion facility, had another ambulance call to 911. The patient was a 33-year old female experiencing bleeding from a “complicated procedure.” This facility performs approximately 61 abortions every week in Montgomery County, according the 2022 annual Ohio Abortion Report.[Snip]“...Year after year, women are hospitalized and babies die at the hands of their abortionists.” “Clearly this is another reason to stop Issue 1.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The inflammatory language targeting a reproductive rights measure on Ohio’s fall ballot is the type of messaging that is common in the closing weeks of a highly contested initiative campaign--warning of “abortion on demand” or “dismemberment of fully conscious children” if voters approve it. Only the messaging isn’t just coming from the anti-abortion groups that oppose the constitutional amendment. It’s being promoted on the official government website of the Republican-controlled Ohio Senate. And because the source is a government website, the messaging is being prioritized in online searches for information about Issue 1,

Throughout the debate, the Issue 1 opposition repeatedly called out the deceit and fearmongering coming from the groups supporting Issue 1 and demanded answers to the tough questions, including why Issue 1 allows for late-term abortions and eviscerates parental consent laws.

A group of orcas managed to sink a yacht off the coast of Morocco last week, after its 45-minute attack on the vessel caused irreparable damage, a Polish tour company said. The incident happened Tuesday, Oct. 31, as a crew with the boat touring group sailed through the Strait of Gibraltar. The narrow waterway bridges the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, which separates the southern tip of Europe from northern Africa. A pod of orcas, colloquially called killer whales, approached the yacht and "hit the steering fin for 45 minutes, causing major damage and leakage," the tour agency Morskie Mile, which is based in Warsaw and operated the yacht,
