Works for me. . .

From Joe. My. God.:

If you know the name Father Frank Pavone, it's probably from when he infested our television screens every night as the "spiritual adviser" and "Godly spokesman" for the comatose Terry Shiavo. Following that bit of limelight hogging, Pavone recast himself as the nation's most virulent Catholic in the battle against abortion rights, often appearing shoulder-to-shoulder with the murderous loons of Operation Rescue. (Pavone is "credited" by some for the idea of waving placards featuring bloody dismembered fetuses.)

Pavone is now the national director for Priests For Life, an anti-abortion group with a reported annual donation base in excess of ten million dollars. And whoopsie, his bishop just suspended him for (among other things) suspected financial "mismanagement" of those millions.

This story broke a few days ago and I've been amusing myself twitting the twits who are defending him, thus:

What a relief! Anti-choice priest goes down for $$ foolery. #MakesAChangeFromChildRape #prochoice

At LifeShite all the usual suspects are issuing statements of support.

Some groups are going further.

The Center for Bio-Ethical Reform* recently announced that the group will be picketing “Catholic facilities and activities in the Diocese of Amarillo, Texas.” The anti-abortion group wants to force Bishop Patrick Zurek to allow Father Frank Pavone “to resume full-time anti-abortion ministry.” Zurek recently suspended Priests for Life leader Frank Pavone for “concerns about financial improprieties.”

Hee. Nutbars protesting nutbars. Give 'em a taste of their own medicine. And leave women and abortion providers alone. At least for a while.


*the abortion = genocide/holocaust gang

Canadian Taxpayers Subsidize Priests for Life

There are many whackadoodles among the fetus fetishist set, but Frank Pavone of Priests for Life is one of the whackier.

He was one of the vultures hanging around not-quite-dead Terri Shiavo and practically did a jig when Dr. Tiller was assassinated.

He's been in trouble with his titular bosses, the Catlick Church, for among other things, financial improprieties.

But just before The Tragedy, he outdid himself.

Ahead of Tuesday’s presidential election, the Rev. Frank Pavone took an aborted fetus, laid it upon an altar Sunday and posted a live video on Facebook. Pavone, a Catholic priest who heads New York-based Priests for Life, said the fetus was entrusted to him by a pathologist for burial.

There's a five-minute clip of the video here.

Not knowing anything about things sacred or profane, I was simply appalled at the disrespect and well, just plain tackiness. But it's worse than that to Catlicks. It was sacrilege.

Okey-dokey.

Why am I going on about this? Because you, dear readers, and I have given these offensive nutbars more than $75K over the last five years.

Here are Priests for Life Canada's Canada Revenue Agency filings.

Look at that nice acid green. That's us. (Graph from 2015 filing.)

From 2011 to 2015, Priests for Life in 11 constituencies (one in Alberta, ten in Ontario) applied for and received $76,784 in funding from Employment and Social Development Canada under the Canada Summer Jobs program.

Here's the listing for Ontario. Irritatingly, they list grants by province and riding.

On their CRA filing, Priests for Life specify their purpose as running convents and monasteries.

So, why the fuck are they hiring kids? And what the fuck kind of "meaningful work experience" do the kids get? And why the fuck are we paying for it?

From the eligibility page of the program.

The job must provide meaningful work experience for the student. It must not contribute to the provision of a personal service to the employer (e.g. the job must not involve gardening, domestic services, child care services, etc., for the employer).

I've been feeling pretty helpless these past ten days, but this I can do something about.

UPDATE (November 25/16): Patricia Maloney, aka the Amateur Statistician, commented. Says Priests for Life Canada is totally different from Pavone's gang. Yeah. Except for the shared name and goals and the fact that one gets to the Canadian outfit through a link called "International" on the US site.

All of which does not matter much. Because the fact remains that Canadian taxpayers are being scammed by eleven different branches of this misogynist "charity" for five years that we know of. For a total of more than $76K.

The Cdn gang furiously back-pedalled away from Pavone's dead-fetus-on-the-altar stunt. Not because they were disgusted, but because it was a big no-no to the sky fairy. Or something.

Who cares? I care about the money, the lies, and the misogyny.

Initiallly, I didn't realize whose handiwork it was so I asked.

Co-blogger Niles replied.

@fernhilldammit a very special place in the mental attic of someone who lives in abject fear of the imaginary

By then I had found out that it was Father Nutbar and revealed that info.

To which Niles replied: "So, I was right."

Fetus fetishists live in an alternate reality where they think this ridiculous stuff is compelling.

And idiocies like this.

Luckily for us sane people, it has no currency outside their tiny base.

And it is wonderfully fun to mock.

BTW, I like the devil's mani.

Cue the SHRIEEEEEEKING

Grab a pair of these because the SHRIEEEEKING is going to be deafening.

LifeShite: 'Pro-Life Advocate Murdered Outside Michigan School While Protesting Abortion!!!!!111!!!'

Local officials and state police are confirming that a pro-life advocate was shot and killed outside a high school in this Michigan town. The person, who is described as well-known but whose identity has not been released, was shot multiple times while protesting abortion outside Owosso High School.

There is apparently a second shooting that the police are investigating as possibly related. A suspect is in custody.

So, you know this is going to be spun as Just Exactly the Same as the decades-long harassment, stalking, vandalizing, wounding, and finally murder of Dr. George Tiller.

Oh, look.

Father Frank Pavone, the director of Priests for Life, has commented on the shooting in an email to LifeNews.com.

"We do not know the motive yet. But this is a time to console one
another, and to renew our determination to organize peaceful protests," he said. "It is no time for fear."

Pavone called on abortion advocates to comdemn the shooting.

This pro-choice advocate will condemn the shooting IF the accused is found to have acted on pro-choice beliefs.

Ah, looky here.

But [Business manager for Owosso Public Schools Julie] Omer stressed that police are not making any connection between his views and the shooting.

Given what we know about your average anti-abortion harasser/stalker/panty-sniffing busybody, it's not unreasonable to speculate that such a person could have pissed off any number of people around him for any number of reasons.

Or, it could just be ordinary, everyday violence in gun-crazy Excited States.

UPDATE: SUZY ALL-CAPS is 'suspicious'.

I ask myself: Why?

Why this person? Why at that time?

I hope this does not scare any pro-lifers from protesting.

Nah, if pro-liars stop protesting, it will not be on account of fear. According to HER, remember, the supply of abortion providers is NOT affected by fear of anti-abortion terrorism, but by the Stigma/Yuckiness of abortion. I should think pro-liars would quit protesting because of similar Stigma/Yuckiness/Braindeadedness of harassing vulnerable women seeking legal medical care.

UPDATE 2: Lots more info at the Detroit Free Press. The other man shot and killed was the owner of a gravel company. The 33-year-old suspect is the son of a former employee of the company. The pro-liar sounds like your typical clinic harasser.

(Edited to remove fetal porn redirect. Grow up, SUZY.)

Yeah, Totally Alike. . .

They're unbelievable, aren't they? JJ at Unrepentant Old Hippie comments on the fetus fetishists' pathetic attempt to equate the assassination of Dr Tiller with the death of a woman undergoing a medical procedure. (Hint: guess what kind of medical procedure.)

Now the pro-lie crowd are shrieeeeeking about threatening emails.

In the aftermath of the shooting of late-term abortionist, Dr. George Tiller, American pro-life leaders have been receiving death threats prompting round-the-clock protection from authorities.

Death threats! Aieeeee! Who's getting death threats?

Well, Jill Stanek for one. She has been

receiving credible threats from a "troubled man involved in the abortion industry." Jill said that this individual is the child of a pro-choice advocate/writer and his mother had aborted several of his siblings. Following the Tiller shooting, the stalker emailed Stanek again. Federal agents are currently monitoring his movements.

'Involved in the abortion industry'? Because he's the child of a pro-choice advocate who -- shrieeeek! -- aborted several of his siblings? Sheesh.

Pro-life leaders have uniformly been forced to increase security measures to address threats of violence. In recent days Stanek has been placed under continuous police and federal protection following email threats to kill her at church or as she left her home.

So the authorities are taking this seriously, when they did not do the same just before Dr Tiller's murder?

So, who else? Ah, it looks like the usual suspects are lining up.

Frank Pavone, founder of Priests for Life, said that he needs armed escorts at speaking engagements to guard him against disruptive pro-abortion demonstrators. Individuals from groups such as NARAL, Planned Parenthood, and Catholics for Choice are often bussed in to derail these presentations. Even peaceful prayer vigils, so common to the pro-life movement, can be dangerous. Fr. Pavone was leading a prayer service in Bellingham, WA when someone confronted him and spit in his face.

Oooo. Disruptive demonstrators! Confronted and spat at!

There's more!

Lila Rose, the young woman who pretends to be under-age and then covertly films Planned Parenthood counsellors as she lies to them. What about her?

She's getting 'menacing emails'! Oooo!

How about Jenn Giroux (so prominent a pro-liar that we at Dammit Janet! have never heard of her)? How has her life been changed?

Following the shooting, she suspended her website, ChargeTiller.com, due to a barrage of profane and violent posts.

(Shrieeeking is tiring. I need a :shrieeeeek:)

OK, how about Judie Brown, leader of the nutters who hallucinated pro-abortion doughnuts? Well, somehow the evul pro-choicers must have forgotten about her.

In response to our questions the league issued a statement. It calls to mind the hostility pro-lifers face at every level as they, "stand in beautiful and striking contrast to both the violence inherent to the abortion mill and the street-side violence and drive-by intimidation of abortion supporters."

Hostility? Hostility? How's this on the hostility scale?

In the U.S., violence directed toward abortion providers has killed at least nine people, including five doctors, two clinic employees, a security guard, and a clinic escort.
. . . According to statistics gathered by the National Abortion Federation (NAF), an organization of abortion providers, since 1977 in the United States and Canada, there have been 17 attempted murders, 383 death threats, 153 incidents of assault or battery, and 3 kidnappings committed against abortion providers.

And for further 'hostility', we have the anthrax threats, arson, bombings, vandalism, and on and on and on.

Keep trying to equate the law-abiding pro-choice way with the terrorism enabling and enacting of your side. It's really working for you.

deBeauxOs adds- :shrieekkky: icons are difficult to find.  All I got for you is this, fern hill.

Upgrading 'Baby Killers'

While #FetusLobby foot-soldiers regularly SHRIIIEEEEK lovely epithets like 'baby killer' at women entering clinics and some go even further, rasping out death threats at pro-choice pregnant women, the honchos of the obsession movement prefer to pretend they are all about the poor deluded, coerced, mentally unfit, misinformed women.

Frank Pavone, the ethically challenged Catlick priest, continues the charade in his latest hand-wringer.

Question: “When abortion becomes illegal again, are we going to start throwing all the women who have abortions into jail?”

Answer: No. The people who should go to jail in that case are the abortionists.

Butbutbut, isn't that giving the sluts and skanks a free pass?

No. The sluts and skanks are needed to testify against the abortionists.

Moreover, the woman who gets an illegal abortion is the best source of information and evidence needed to convict the abortionist. If she feared prosecution, she would never admit to the abortion, which would make it harder to find the abortionist.

Butbutbut, what about the sluts and skanks themselves?

Ah, the true misogynist colours come peeping out.

This doesn’t excuse the woman’s wrongdoing; rather, it is the same principle by which the state grants immunity to a small-time drug user in exchange for information leading to a big-time drug dealer.

There you have it. Women who have abortions are murderers, unless they turn their doctors in, then they're upgraded to mere 'small-time drug users'.

But fear not, #FetusLobby. Those sluts and skanks won't get away with it in HarperLand at least.

Dr George Tiller Murdered

We called it here. The insanity that is rightwingnuttery in the US has -- as was inevitable -- manifested in the murder of Dr George Tiller.

Here is the complete story at the moment:

George Tiller shot to death at Wichita church
BY STAN FINGER
The Wichita Eagle
George Tiller, the Wichita doctor who became a national lightning rod in the debate over abortion, was shot to death this morning as he walked into church services
Tiller was shot just after 10 a.m. at Reformation Lutheran Church at 7601 E. 13th, where he was a member of the congregation. An anonymous police source confirmed Tiller was the victim.

A very brave man. A very sick society.

UPDATE: A bit more here. Suspect, white male in his 50s, fled the scene.

UPDATE 2: If you have the stomach for it: Freepers respond.

UPDATE 3: Suspect in custody.

UDATE 4: Sanctimonious statements from the Forced-Pregnancy Gang. I particularly like these two (emphasis mine):

"I am saddened to hear of the killing of George Tiller this morning. At this point, we do not know the motives of this act, or who is behind it, whether an angry post-abortive man or woman, or a misguided activist, or an enemy within the abortion industry, or a political enemy frustrated with the way Tiller has escaped prosecution. We should not jump to conclusions or rush to judgment.

"But whatever the motives, we at Priests for Life continue to insist on a culture in which violence is never seen as the solution to any problem. Every life has to be protected, without regard to their age or views or actions."

--Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life

George Tiller was a mass-murderer. We grieve for him that he did not have time to properly prepare his soul to face God. I am more concerned that the Obama Administration will use Tiller's killing to intimidate pro-lifers into surrendering our most effective rhetoric and actions. Abortion is still murder. And we still must call abortion by its proper name; murder.

Those men and women who slaughter the unborn are murderers according to the Law of God. We must continue to expose them in our communities and peacefully protest them at their offices and homes, and yes, even their churches.

Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue
