October 26 , 2020 ( Live Action News ) — Julia Holcomb was a 16-year-old when she moved in with Aerosmith ’ s Steven Tyler — eight years her senior — in the 1970s , and he became her legal guardian .
Months after she became pregnant , she was forced into an abortion she didn ’ t want — an abortion Tyler himself later came to regret .
Holcomb recently appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News to discuss her experience with abortion , the struggle to recover from it , and what she thinks of the nomination @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Supreme Court .
“ I was thrilled that she was there as a candidate for the Supreme Court , ” Holcomb said of Barrett ’ s hearings .
“ I thought that she was a great potential justice and I ’ m happy that she was nominated .
I think that the left likes to portray abortion as pro-woman , and my story is a very personal example of how abortion damages women and how coercive it is.
” Tyler had told her that he wanted to have children with her , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ control pills off the balcony of their hotel one night .
As a young girl , she thought that must mean he really loved her .
But when Tyler learned about the pregnancy , he forbade Holcomb from seeing a doctor because she was still a teenager and he believed the doctor would ask questions about who the father was .
But Tyler told her not to worry and promised to marry her and take care of her and the baby .
“ Along the way , Steven had a change of heart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wanted me to have an abortion , ” explained Holcomb .
“ He came to me , he told me that his lawyers had set up a doctor .
This was very early after Roe v. Wade had been decided so there hadn ’ t been many abortions and I was pretty far along.
” She explained that because she wasn ’ t allowed to go to a doctor , she didn ’ t know exactly how far along she was , but she estimated it was about five months .
She had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t drive , didn ’ t have a car or money , and was “ completely dependent upon Steven in every way.

It took years to recover from that experience , ” she said .
“ You know , sometimes , we can think that coerced abortions only happen somewhere like China , where women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will .

October 26, 2020 (Live Action News) — Julia Holcomb was a 16-year-old when she moved in with Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler — eight years her senior — in the 1970s, and he became her legal guardian. Months after she became pregnant, she was forced into an abortion she didn’t want — an abortion Tyler himself later came to regret.
Holcomb recently appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Fox News to discuss her experience with abortion, the struggle to recover from it, and what she thinks of the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.
“I was thrilled that she was there as a candidate for the Supreme Court,” Holcomb said of Barrett’s hearings. “I thought that she was a great potential justice and I’m happy that she was nominated. I think that the left likes to portray abortion as pro-woman, and my story is a very personal example of how abortion damages women and how coercive it is.”
Tyler had told her that he wanted to have children with her, and according to Jezebel, threw her birth control pills off the balcony of their hotel one night. As a young girl, she thought that must mean he really loved her. But when Tyler learned about the pregnancy, he forbade Holcomb from seeing a doctor because she was still a teenager and he believed the doctor would ask questions about who the father was. But Tyler told her not to worry and promised to marry her and take care of her and the baby.

“Along the way, Steven had a change of heart and he made the decision that he wanted me to have an abortion,” explained Holcomb. “He came to me, he told me that his lawyers had set up a doctor. This was very early after Roe v. Wade had been decided so there hadn’t been many abortions and I was pretty far along.”
She explained that because she wasn’t allowed to go to a doctor, she didn’t know exactly how far along she was, but she estimated it was about five months. She had dropped out of high school, couldn’t drive, didn’t have a car or money, and was “completely dependent upon Steven in every way.” He told her if she didn’t abort she would be kicked to the curb. So she gave in.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (9/26/2020): With President Trump's nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by the death of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we are closer than we have been in decades to seeing Roe vs. Wade overturned. We now encourage the Senate to confirm Barrett as the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. Judge Barrett has a fantastic track recond on sanctity of life issues, has seven children, and is a devout believer. She is the perfect remedy for Ruth Bader Ginsburg's radical pro-abortionism. Please READ the full story here: 'BREAKING: Trump nominates Catholic mom of 7 Judge Amy Coney Barrett to Supreme Court' And then, please SIGN this petition telling the High Court that it's now time to end the activist Roe vs. Wade judgment. Thank you! __________________________________________________________________ PETITION UPDATE (6/29/2020): In a decision which has imperiled more abortion-minded women, sentenced more preborn to death, and upset pro-lifers across the nation,the United States Supreme Court decided 5-4 to strike down a Louisiana law requiring basic medical precautions in the event of abortion complications, with Chief Justice John Roberts reversing his own past decision to uphold a similar Texas law. Liberal Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the majority opinion, which held that the Louisiana law was unconstitutional for the simple fact that it was “almost word-for-word identical” to the Texas one the court already struck down in 2016. In his concurring opinion, Chief Justice Roberts acknowledged that he had “joined the dissent in Whole Woman’s Health and continue to believe that the case was wrongly decided. The question today however is not whether Whole Woman’s Health was right or wrong, but whether to adhere to it in deciding the present case.” We call on the Supreme Court to stop supporting the culture of death and overturn Roe vs Wade, now. PETITION UPDATE (1/20/2020): Hundreds of thousands of people will gather in Washington, D.C., this coming Friday, January 24th, for the March for Life. They will be praying for an end to Roe vs Wade, as the Supreme Court will hear a crucial, abortion-related case later this year in March. United our voices can change the course of history. Sign this petition TODAY! (LEARN MORE BELOW) PETITION UPDATE (1/3/2020): In advance of the Supreme Court's hearing arguments in an important abortion case later this year in March, 207 U.S. Senators and Representatives have signed amicus briefs supporting a Louisiana law requiring abortionists to have admitting privileges at a hospital nearby an abortion center. Some of these supporting briefs also suggest that now is the time to reconsider Roe vs Wade as sound law. Please SIGN this petition, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down Roe vs Wade. _____________________________________________________________________________ More than 60 million Americans have been slaughtered in their mother's wombs as a result of Roe v. Wade. This activist, unconstitutional ruling in 1973 has left countless women emotionally and psychologically scarred. It was believed by many that Roe would be overturned in 1992 with Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Despite having eight Republican-appointed judges at the time, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold it. Since then, major gains have been made in the fight for life, and many lives have been saved. However, Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land, leaving millions of defenseless pre-born children vulnerable to murder. According to a 2016 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 35% of aborted babies are African American, despite black women only making up six percent of the U.S. population. 19% of aborted babies are Hispanic. We thus again call on the court to do everything they can to end Roe vs Wade. Now is the time for pro-lifers to join together and ensure that all of God's children have a right to life. Roe v. Wade must come to an end!

“I went through a horrific late-term saline abortion that was just traumatizing.

But the truth is that coerced abortions happen everywhere abortion is legal and a woman can become pregnant. And the first thing she has to do is defend her baby’s right to be born.”
Tyler has also spoken about the trauma he experienced from Holcomb’s abortion and how he immediately regretted it. In an autobiography, he said, “It was a big crisis. It’s a major thing when you’re growing something with a woman, but they convinced us that it would never work out and would ruin our lives. . . . You go to the doctor and they put the needle in her belly and they squeeze the stuff in and you watch. And it comes out dead. I was pretty devastated. In my mind, I’m going, Jesus, what have I done?”
He told Holcomb that he was “racked with guilt” and that he “dreaded what God would do to him because of [the] abortion.”
Their relationship quickly deteriorated and he began an affair. Holcomb was devastated by the abortion and became suicidal. She returned home to her family with a “broken and wounded spirit.”
“I had terrible nightmares,” she said, “I would wake up in the night reliving that horrible abortion.”
Holcomb later converted to Catholicism, attended a Rachel’s Vineyard retreat for women who have undergone abortions, and received the sacrament of reconciliation. She now speaks at pro-life events, has been married for 30 years, and has seven children.

I feel that giving life to my children is the greatest gift that God has ever given to me.”
A larger percentage of women who have undergone abortions report feeling pressured into it. The Elliot Institute’s “Forced Abortion Report” cited a study saying 64% of aborting women were coerced into their abortions, usually by the baby’s father. In addition, a study published in the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, found 73.8% of women who have undergone abortions report feeling pressured to abort.

— Article continues below Petition — PETITION: Urge the U.S. Catholic Bishops to Defend Amy Coney Barrett Show Petition Text 18323 have signed the petition. Let's get to 20000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Chairman of the USCCB's Committee on Pro-Life Activities, Archbishop Joseph Naumann Every year, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) supports the March for Life. And, every year the March for Life concludes at the Supreme Court of the United States. The reason the USCCB supports the March for Life and the reason that the March for Life ends at the Supreme Court is to send a positive message about the sanctity of human life and to insist that Roe vs Wade is reversed. Suddenly, with Judge Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court, we now have reason to hope that Roe can actually be overturned. But, where are the bishops of the United States to be found when Judge Barrett is being attacked on the Senate floor for her Catholic faith and for her belief in the sanctity of human life? We now call on the USCCB to defend U.S. Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett against those who would attack her because of her Catholic faith and what that means in terms of protecting life from conception until natural death. Please SIGN this petition to urge the Catholic Bishops of the United States to defend Judge Amy Coney Barrett from attack. When Judge Barrett's Senate confirmation hearing began on Monday, hundreds of Protestants and their ministers gathered outside the Supreme Court to pray for Barrett. Please WATCH an exclusive LifeSite video showing this joyful gathering by clicking here. Defending Barrett, of course, is not only about defending a nominee to the Supreme Court, but also about defending ALL of the faithful against the suggestion that the Catholic faith somehow disqualifies one for service in public life. But, again, where is the USCCB on these important matters? Certainly, if the bishops called on their faithful to show prayerful support of Barrett, people would respond. Thankfully, a few U.S. bishops, including Cardinal Timothy Dolan, have made public statements defending Barrett's Catholic faith. However, the USCCB has not united to defend her. Cardinal Dolan supported Judge Barrett on September 29, 2020 in his show Conversations with Cardinal Dolan. Dolan commented that she is an articulate and committed woman of integrity and strength, and defended Barrett against what he called "nasty comments." After reminding listeners that the Constitution says “there should be no religious test for candidates,” he said, “When you look at some of the grilling they were doing in the past, it was like they were testing her on her faith. Well, that is just out of bounds, folks." Unfortunately, this line of questioning is still being pursued TODAY by some Democratic U.S. senators. And, it is utterly wrong. The USCCB should urgently consider following Cardinal Dolan's lead on this matter, defending Barrett against the outrageous attacks against her Catholic faith and her pro-life beliefs. Doing so would send a strong message about the right to practise Catholicism and participate in public life in America. And, it would also send a strong message to the U.S. Senate and the American public about the necessity of defending life in the public square. Please SIGN this urgent petition urging the USCCB to defend Judge Barrett who is a faithful member of the Church. Bishops must provide leadership to their flocks about the significant political circumstances of our day. Thank you! After you have signed the petition, please take a few minutes to politely call the USCCB's Respect Life Office and ask the bishops to issue a united statement in defense of Amy Coney Barrett's Catholic faith and her pro-life beliefs. Their phone number is: 202-541-3070.

The U.S. Senate voted 52 to 48 to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett, a pro-life mom of 7, to the U.S. Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, D.C., October 26, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – The United States Senate voted 52 to 48 Monday night to confirm Judge Amy Coney Barrett as the next Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, marking a rightward shift in the federal judiciary’s balance of power.
President Donald Trump selected Barrett, his third appointee to the nation’s highest court, to replace left-wing Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg following her death last month. Senate Republicans faced intense pressure from the Right to fill the vacancy prior to the November presidential election, amid intense opposition from the Left, which demanded the seat be left empty so whoever wins the election could fill it.
A Catholic mother of seven widely regarded as a pro-life originalist, Barrett was a member of Notre Dame’s Faculty for Life group, is reported to have signed another letter published by Becket Law criticizing the Obama administration’s contraception mandate, and signed a 2006 ad declaring “we…oppose abortion on demand and support the right to life from fertilization to natural death.” She has also written multiple articles critical of the stare decisis doctrine, which grants weight to past rulings’ status as precedent, regardless of whether they were rightly decided.
The final vote was 52 to 48 and as expected fell largely along party lines. Of particular interest were Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine. Both are pro-abortion, but Murkowski voted to confirm Barrett, while Collins, who famously voted to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh two years ago, voted against her. In procedural votes on Friday and Sunday, Murkowski had voted against moving the confirmation process forward.
Vice President Mike Pence was ultimately not needed to cast a tie-breaking vote.
“The conservative women I have been visiting all across the country in our ‘Women for Amy’ Bus Tour cheer loudly for this historic milestone for women,” commented Concerned Women for America’s Penny Nance, calling Barrett “an inspiration to millions.”
“A conservative, constitutionalist, pro-life woman at the Supreme Court is why we voted for Donald Trump. We congratulate Justice Barrett, and we are praying for her and her family. The task ahead will be a difficult one, but we have full confidence in her abilities as a jurist.”
Planned Parenthood director turned pro-life advocate Abby Johnson commented:
“I'm going to remember this day when Amy Coney Barrett, an accomplished woman in her own right, achieved the pinnacle of her profession while raising a family, embracing her role as a wife, and demonstrating that it's all possible without abortion. Her confirmation hearings were a testament alone to her astute legal mind, her compassion for others, and ability to fulfill her role as the next Supreme Court Justice. President Trump chose well and Amy Coney Barrett will hopefully remain on the Court for many decades, protecting the Constitution as it was written and protecting innocent life in all its beautiful stages. When she is sworn into the Court tonight, an unforgettable photo of her will be in our history books: one that depicts Amy Coney Barrett surrounded by her biggest supporters, her husband and children, pledging to interpret the law as it is written. She has done all of this by embracing her very femininity, not rejecting it.”
“Justice Barrett’s confirmation marks a turning point in the fight to protect unborn children and mothers,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List. “The American people can now see a glimmer of light at the end of a dark tunnel, when the Supreme Court may finally return to the people the ability to enact laws that reflect their values and save lives.”
Although it remains to be seen how some of the current Republican-appointed justices would rule on major issues such as Roe v. Wade, the replacement of Ginsburg with Barrett is widely recognized as a significant rightward shift for the Supreme Court, which conservatives hope will mitigate the damage to their causes should Trump lose to former Vice President Joe Biden last month.
At the same time, many on the Left have called for Biden to cancel out Barrett if he wins by “packing” the Supreme Court, or adding judges beyond its current nine members to create a new, left-wing majority. Biden has repeatedly refused to explicitly say whether he would answer such calls, but has said he wants to institute a “bipartisan commission of scholars” to brainstorm and propose unspecified “reforms” to the federal judiciary.
It has been reported that pro-life originalist Justice Clarence Thomas will administer the oath of office to Barrett later this evening at a White House ceremony.

lifesitenews--2020-10-27--After lawsuit, county forbidden to force minister to officiate at same-sex ‘weddings’

CLEVELAND , Ohio , October 26 , 2020 ( Alliance Defending Freedom ) — Faced with a federal lawsuit , Cuyahoga County has agreed to a proposed court judgment filed Friday that allows a Cleveland-area minister and wedding business owner to operate consistent with her belief that marriage is the union of a man and a woman .
In July , ADF attorneys filed suit on behalf of Kristi Stokes and her business , Covenant Weddings , to challenge a law that the county now agrees can not be used to force her to use her ministry and business to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and prayers for same-sex weddings even as she continues to officiate and promote weddings between one man and one woman .
As part of the agreed-upon proposed judgment , the county will not enforce its law — which threatens fines of $ 1,000– $ 5,000 per violation , depending on their frequency — against Stokes or other ministers because Stokes ’ business is not a place of public accommodation and because she and other ministers should not be forced to act contrary to her religious beliefs .
“ No one should be forced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ religious beliefs , ” said ADF Legal Counsel Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse .
“ Cuyahoga County ’ s law made Kristi face an impossible choice : disobey the law , defy her own faith , or ditch her business .
She no longer faces that choice .
No matter one ’ s views on marriage , we all lose when the government can force citizens to participate in religious ceremonies they oppose , speak messages they disagree with , and stay silent about beliefs they hold dear .
We commend Cuyahoga County for understanding and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quickly to ensure that Kristi and countless others need not fear punishment for merely living and speaking consistent with their conscience.
” ADF attorneys and attorneys for the county jointly filed their notice and proposed judgment in the case , Covenant Weddings v. Cuyahoga County , with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio .
The judgment , which the court must approve , states that the county agrees not to compel Stokes and her business “ to offer officiating and writing services against their sincerely held religious beliefs for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Kristi Stokes nor Covenant Weddings currently qualify as a ‘ place of public accommodation , ’ as defined by [ county law ] , because they do not have a physical storefront from which they provide goods or services in Cuyahoga County , Ohio .
2 .
Even if [ their ] services could be considered a place of public accommodation , the Accommodations Clause does not mandate or force Kristi Stokes , or any other minister , to officiate or solemnize weddings against their sincerely held religious beliefs .
3 .
Even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ considered a place of public accommodation , the ‘ Accommodations Clause ’ does not mandate or force Kristi Stokes or Covenant Weddings to author specific prayers , homilies , vows , or other writings that are inconsistent with their sincerely held religious beliefs.
” Last year , in other ADF cases , the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit and the Arizona Supreme Court ruled in favor of filmmakers and artists who brought similar challenges against laws like Cuyahoga County ’ s .

Remarks attributed to Pope Francis (and, not denied by the Vatican) in support of homosexual civil unions have caused grave scandal to the faithful.
Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify these heterodox and scandalous remarks on homosexual civil unions, and which will be delivered both to the Vatican and to the Papal Nuncio of the United States (the Pope's official representative in the U.S.).
As the last guarantor of the Faith, the Pope should clarify and rectify these remarks, which go against the perennial teaching of the Church, even including the teaching of his living predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.
"What we have to create is a law of civil coexistence [meaning civil union law, for homosexuals]...," Pope Francis is reported to have remarked, in what is arguably his clearest statement of public support for a practice morally prohibited by official Catholic Church teaching.
In fact, the Church has been crystal clear in Her opposition to homosexual unions.
Just in 2003, Pope Saint John Paul II approved a document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, titled 'Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons' and written by Cardinal Ratzinger (now, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), which concludes with the following:
"The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself."
It could not be more clear: the Church is calling people to repentance, not to be left to indulge in grave sin.
Since becoming public, several senior prelates as well as other notable Catholic figures have voiced their opposition to these remarks attributed to the Pontiff.
Cardinal Raymond Burke stated: "It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the private opinions reported with so much emphasis by the press and attributed to Pope Francis do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church, as it is expressed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition."
Cardinal Gerhard Müller commented: "Where there is tension between the plain and obvious Word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand, and private expressions of opinion even by the highest church authorities on the other, the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO [When in doubt, be in favor of God]."
And, Catholic theologian and apologist Scott Hahn, without directly quoting Pope Francis, shared on Facebook the 'Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,' published by the CDF in 1986, with the statement: "Holy Father, respectfully and humbly, I beg to differ... if that is indeed what you said. In any case, please clarify and rectify your statement, especially in view of the official teaching of our Lord through the magisterium of His Church."
But, the silence from the Vatican has been deafening, with no clarification forthcoming.
We must, therefore, ask the Pope for clarification in this serious matter.
Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify remarks attributed to him in support of homosexual civil unions.

“ It has been the goal all along , if necessary , to reach the Supreme Court of Canada .
@ @ @ @ @ has become a reality for Mary and the rest of us !
We , as @ @ @ @ @ me , Mary , Dr. Lugosi , are asking for your financial support .

Mary Wagner has launched a Charter challenge to the Canadian law denying the humanity of the unborn child.
OTTAWA, Ontario, October 26, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Eight years after Mary Wagner was arrested in Toronto while trying to save mothers and children from the violence of abortion, her Charter challenge to the Canadian law denying the humanity of the unborn child has reached the Supreme Court of Canada.
Her lawyer, Dr. Charles Lugosi, is now seeking leave to appeal Wagner’s challenge of Section 223 of the Criminal Code to the country’s top court.
The importance of the constitutional challenge can’t be overstated, he told LifeSiteNews in a telephone interview.
“This is a significant case because it involves a national issue and that is abortion. And that’s why it merits leave to appeal (to the Supreme Court),” said Lugosi, who earned a doctorate in juridical science from the University of Pennsylvania.
Section 223, which dates in part to 1892, states, “A child becomes a human being within the meaning of the Act when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother” (emphasis added).
“If we are correct that Section 223 of the Criminal Code is unconstitutional because it exceeds the power of Parliament to decide who is and who is not a human being, then what happens to the question of abortion?” Lugosi pointed out.
If the Supreme Court strikes down Section 223, “abortion then reverts to homicide under definition in the Criminal Code of Canada. … And because it’s planned, because it’s intentional, abortion then becomes the first-degree murder of an innocent human being,” he said.
“So that’s how the law would unravel. And that’s why there’s been such fierce opposition.”
Wagner also underscored the significance of the case.
“The courts have heard few voices pleading for our littlest brothers and sisters in the decades since abortion was decriminalized,” she told LifeSiteNews in an email.
“For this reason alone, this case is important. We (not ‘I’, since this case is not my own personal fight but ours), have an obligation to defend those who cannot speak for themselves in whatever ways we can,” Wagner said.
“Even if the courts refuse to rule in favor of the truth, thanks to all who support this case spiritually or materially, the truth has been spoken — and will be spoken to the highest court of this land — on behalf of God’s littlest ones,” she added.
“Above all, please pray for the success of this case in defense of the unborn and for the healing of suffering post-abortive mothers and all women considering abortion.”
14-year-old moms in abortion center the day Wagner intervened
Wagner’s court challenge dates back to her arrest while peaceful intervening at the Women’s Care Clinic in August 15, 2012 — a day when at least two 14-year-old girls were scheduled to have their unborn children killed.
It’s not known if the minors were in the waiting room when Wagner, then 40, arrived with red roses and offers of assistance, or if they came before, or after, Toronto police officers dragged her away.
But during Wagner’s December 2013 trial, abortionist Saira Markovic testified that the teenage mothers were among her intended customers that day.
A lapsed Muslim whose website advertises that she aborts unborn children up to 20 weeks’ gestation, and offers “services without parental consent” at the abortion facility run by her Catholic husband, Michael, Markovic described Wagner’s action as akin to a home invasion.
“My house is my clinic, this is my life,” the angry abortionist told the court.
“Why is someone invading my house, my property?”
Lugosi provided the court a comprehensive legal answer: His client’s defense for her action fell under Section 37 of the Criminal Code then in force, which stated, “Everyone is justified in using force to defend himself or anyone under his protection from assault …”
He argued that “anyone” includes the unborn child, and further argued that Section 223, which obstructs this defense, is unconstitutional.
By denying that the unborn child is a human being, Section 223 violates the Charter’s Section 7 guarantee of an individual’s right to “life, liberty and security of person,” and Section 15’s guarantee that: “Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law … ”
But when Wagner’s trial and attendant Charter challenge finally ended, Justice Fergus O’Donnell of the Ontario Court of Justice rejected all arguments, and on June 12, 2014, he convicted Wagner and sentenced her to time served.
Wagner, who has spent nearly six years altogether behind bars for her pro-life advocacy, was then released after almost 22 months in jail.
Road to Supreme Court long and costly
O’Donnell later amended his ruling and conceded Wagner’s right to a Charter challenge, thus clearing a road to the top court that has been long, costly, and marked by defeats.
In December 2016, Lugosi argued his appeal of O’Donnell’s decision in a three-day hearing in front the Ontario Superior Court Justice Tamara Dunnet. Scarcely three weeks later, Dunnet released a decision dismissing the appeal on all counts.
In February 2017, Lugosi filed a request for leave to appeal with the Ontario Court of Appeal. In June 2017, he filed an amended notice and in February 2020 his factum.
On September 14, 2020, a panel of three Ontario justices denied him leave to appeal.
But what appeared to be a final blow to the case has, in fact, opened the door to the Supreme Court of Canada.
That’s because Section 40(1) of the Supreme Court Act grants Canada’s top court the discretion to reassess any final or other judgment of the intermediate appellate courts on an issue of national importance.
“We are actually delighted that the Ontario Court of Appeal refused leave to hear this difficult question, because it speeds up the process for us to make our application to the Supreme Court,” Lugosi told LifeSiteNews.
He has until November 13 to file the application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court, and if the application is denied, “then that is the end of the road for this attempt to challenge the law.”
However, Lugosi believes that “ideally” the Supreme Court will hear the case.
“It seems to me that if the test in law is an issue of national importance, and I believe it’s clearly an issue of national importance, then one would be left wondering for a long time, well, if this isn’t a question of national importance, what is?” he said.
Moreover, he echoed Wagner’s conviction that it is essential to try.
“We can do the right thing in good conscience and hoping the truth will prevail. And it’s our duty to be witnesses to the truth,” said Lugosi.
“And if our witness is rejected, well, it’s not our fault, but we have had the courage to speak the truth to those in authority, and the responsibility for the decision rests upon those in authority.”
Crown prosecutors ‘mis-framed’ the legal question
The Supreme Court has never been presented with the legal issues raised in Wagner’s Charter challenge to Section 223, Lugosi contends, adding that there has been a “deliberate mis-framing” by the Crown prosecutors that Wagner’s case is “really all about ‘personhood.’”
But the distinction between “human being” and “person” is a “matter of common sense, dictionary definition, and jurisprudence,” he pointed out.
“Personhood” is a “legal fiction” and a status “bestowed upon a human being to give certain rights,” similar to the distinction between a citizen and a non-citizen, explained Lugosi.
“In other words, the classification of ‘personhood’ or ‘citizenship’ should not make any difference, because we are all human beings, and all of us deserve equal protection. So that’s the key argument in a nutshell.”
Section 223 was not “originally contemplated as a provision designed to permit abortion,” but is part of the Criminal Code’s section on homicide (defined in Section 222 as causing “the death of a human being … directly or indirectly … by any means”) and intended to clarify definitions for the purposes of criminal law, Lugosi observed.
But with abortion no longer sanctioned by law, “what Section 223 does, by legal definition, is permit the legal killing of all unborn children,” he said.
The “fundamental problem with this” is that Parliament does not have the authority to define who is and who is not a human being, particularly when “from the point of view of science and medicine and morality … a biological human being … is known in truth to be a human being,” Lugosi said.
“You cannot live in a legal system where the goal is truth and justice, and end up with basing a legal decision based upon fiction and fantasy, just to achieve, let’s say, political appeasement of people who have different values and different motivations,” he added.
Moreover, Section 223 reveals “a hypocrisy or inconsistency in the law” with regard to the “equality” Section 15 of the Charter.
“This is a unique and novel question, because how can it be equality under the law if someone below a certain age may be legally murdered by legal definition, and someone who’s over a certain age, if they’re murdered, it does constitute legal murder?” Lugosi pointed out.
Need for donations urgent
John Bulsza, the veteran London-based pro-life activist who has been doing yeoman’s service raising funds during the marathon journey to the Supreme Court, echoed Wagner in describing the crucial importance of the Charter challenge.
“This case is our case. It will mean the end of abortion in Canada,” he told LifeSiteNews.
“Thus, no more protests at abortion clinics and hospitals; no more 40 Days for Life and Life Chains, et cetera. It would mean society being retooled, including financially, to support all mothers and their pre-born children.”
He, Wagner, and Lugosi are therefore appealing to all “Canadians of good will” to support the case both materially and spiritually.
The need is urgent, Bulsza said.
“The legal defence fund is behind due to lack of donations, in paying Dr. Charles Lugosi’s law firm for his defence work for Mary’s case over the past several years at the Court of Appeal level, and now beginning at the Supreme Court of Canada level,” he told LifeSiteNews.
“Time is of the essence. There are about four weeks left to prepare the leave application for the Supreme Court. These costs could be high, especially if the leave to appeal is granted,” added Bulsza.
“It has been the goal all along, if necessary, to reach the Supreme Court of Canada. Now, that the goal has become a reality for Mary and the rest of us! We, as our case – you, me, Mary, Dr. Lugosi, are asking for your financial support. Prayers are especially in order too!”
For more detailed information about Mary’s case, donation options, please contact John Bulsza (co-trustee of the Mary Wagner Legal Defence Fund), 519-657-9009 or [email protected], or write John Bulsza at P.O. Box 52071 RPO Commissioners Rd, London, ON, N6C 0A1.

[CLICK HERE for our "Goodbye Google" resources page to find good alternatives to Google!] When you use Twitter or Facebook to communicate, or Google to search for something online, these companies can stifle your ability to share your thoughts and opinions and manipulate your search results, threatening your privacy, your freedom of speech, and even our democracy. Evidence suggests that Twitter and Facebook's 'community guidelines' are selectively enforced against conservatives and Christians, while Google rigs their search algorithms to direct traffic away from conservative and Christian websites, effectively choking traffic to those sites. Simply put, Twitter, Facebook and Google (who owns YouTube) appear to be actively suppressing access to pro-freedom, pro-family and pro-life news and opinion. Don't contribute to this assault on democracy: Stop using Twitter, Facebook and Google as your default social media platforms and search engine! [CLICK HERE to find a good alternative to Google.] To repeat: a few liberal and completely unaccountable computer programmers in Silicon Valley are dictating what we do and do not see in our Twitter and Facebook feeds, and in our Google searches. We, here, at LifeSite, also recently had our Twitter account suspended by the company over "misgendering" a man who claims to be a woman. LifeSite has also experienced a fall-off in Google search-related traffic since the company updated its search algorithms at the beginning of May. And, since the November election, Twitter and Big Tech appear to have dramatically INCREASED their censorship of conservatives and Christians as the President Trump disputed the results of the election and when evidence of election fraud began to mount. Now, it seems likely that they are trying to cut-off conservative leaders (like President Trump) from conservatives on the ground, and effectively exclude us from the national conversation. But, this tactic will not work. Because Twitter, Facebook and Google are not the only game in town!

lifesitenews--2020-10-26--Exclusive: Defender of Polish churches describes blasphemous pro-abortion attacks

KRAKOW , Poland , October 26 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A young man who recruited his friends to protect the churches of his city from pro-abortion activists says Polish Catholics are not ready to let their country go the way of the West .
Kraków resident Kay Łancucki ( pron : wan-TSOOT-ski ) , a married father of one , told LifeSiteNews that the citizens ’ defense of churches there was “ spontaneous ” and “ decentralized.
” “ It was a spontaneous decentralized initiative , and as it should be in a majority Catholic country , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to take a stand.
” Łancucki believes that there is a general sense of duty among Polish Catholic youths and that the “ call to duty ” was sounded when the country ’ s left wing reacted violently to Thursday ’ s historic declaration that eugenic abortion violates the Polish Constitution .
“ We do not want to repeat the mistakes of the West , ” Łancucki declared .
“ Polish conservatives will nip the issue in the bud.
” The Kraków defense was a case in point .
Łancucki stated that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than twelve hours .
“ Several organizations came up with the same idea , ” he said .
“ As many others were , I was texted by a friend , and I called a few more .
Before long , we had a large crowd ready to act.
” The Kraków group included people from the Academic Corporation Acropolis Cracoviensis , All-Polish Youth ( Młodzież Wszechpolska ) , the Konfederacja Party ( a confederation of the Ruch Narodowy [ “ National Movement ” ] , Korona , and KORWiN parties ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attenders , Łancucki said .
Their fears for their churches were not unfounded .
“ With my own eyes , I saw acts of vandalism and blasphemy , ” Łancucki stated .
“ People tried to create blasphemous installations consisting of rosaries , their slogans , and hangers .
I saw people sticking blasphemous posters with a pregnant woman nailed to the cross , and I saw people trying to spray-paint gates and doors .
I know from sources in other cities that some churches had their stained-glass destroyed with rocks , dirty @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Masses disrupted.
” Poland ’ s Catholic Church leadership has called for a reasoned discussion between Poles who support the right to life of unborn children with illnesses , disabilities , and genetic disorders and those who do not .
Łancucki does not believe this is always possible .
“ It seems that the Church is trying to reason with the mob and moderate the temperament of the crowds , ” he told LifeSiteNews .
As yet [ bishops have ] not called for public defense of Church properties .
Instead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a step back a try to engage in dialogue , ” he continued .
“ I believe it is possible to engage in a meaningful conversation with an individual , but never with a mob.
” And what a mob it was .

A young man who recruited his friends to protect the churches of his city from pro-abortion activists says Polish Catholics are not ready to let their country go the way of the West.
KRAKOW, Poland, October 26, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — A young man who recruited his friends to protect the churches of his city from pro-abortion activists says Polish Catholics are not ready to let their country go the way of the West.
Kraków resident Kay Łancucki (pron: wan-TSOOT-ski), a married father of one, told LifeSiteNews that the citizens’ defense of churches there was “spontaneous” and “decentralized.”
“It was a spontaneous decentralized initiative, and as it should be in a majority Catholic country,” he stated.
“People are ready to take a stand.”
Łancucki believes that there is a general sense of duty among Polish Catholic youths and that the “call to duty” was sounded when the country’s left wing reacted violently to Thursday’s historic declaration that eugenic abortion violates the Polish Constitution.
“We do not want to repeat the mistakes of the West,” Łancucki declared. “Polish conservatives will nip the issue in the bud.”
The Kraków defense was a case in point. Łancucki stated that the group of volunteers was formed within less than twelve hours.
“Several organizations came up with the same idea,” he said.
“As many others were, I was texted by a friend, and I called a few more. Before long, we had a large crowd ready to act.”
The Kraków group included people from the Academic Corporation Acropolis Cracoviensis, All-Polish Youth (Młodzież Wszechpolska), the Konfederacja Party (a confederation of the Ruch Narodowy [“National Movement”], Korona, and KORWiN parties), lay brotherhoods, and ordinary regular church attenders, Łancucki said.
Their fears for their churches were not unfounded.
“With my own eyes, I saw acts of vandalism and blasphemy,” Łancucki stated.
“People tried to create blasphemous installations consisting of rosaries, their slogans, and hangers. I saw people sticking blasphemous posters with a pregnant woman nailed to the cross, and I saw people trying to spray-paint gates and doors. I know from sources in other cities that some churches had their stained-glass destroyed with rocks, dirty underwear thrown [through church doors], and Masses disrupted.”
Poland’s Catholic Church leadership has called for a reasoned discussion between Poles who support the right to life of unborn children with illnesses, disabilities, and genetic disorders and those who do not. Łancucki does not believe this is always possible.
“It seems that the Church is trying to reason with the mob and moderate the temperament of the crowds,” he told LifeSiteNews.
As yet [bishops have] not called for public defense of Church properties. Instead the Church has asked us to take a step back a try to engage in dialogue,” he continued.
“I believe it is possible to engage in a meaningful conversation with an individual, but never with a mob.”

Let's get to 25000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Remarks attributed to Pope Francis (and, not denied by the Vatican) in support of homosexual civil unions have caused grave scandal to the faithful. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify these heterodox and scandalous remarks on homosexual civil unions, and which will be delivered both to the Vatican and to the Papal Nuncio of the United States (the Pope's official representative in the U.S.). As the last guarantor of the Faith, the Pope should clarify and rectify these remarks, which go against the perennial teaching of the Church, even including the teaching of his living predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. "What we have to create is a law of civil coexistence [meaning civil union law, for homosexuals]...," Pope Francis is reported to have remarked, in what is arguably his clearest statement of public support for a practice morally prohibited by official Catholic Church teaching. In fact, the Church has been crystal clear in Her opposition to homosexual unions. Just in 2003, Pope Saint John Paul II approved a document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, titled 'Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons' and written by Cardinal Ratzinger (now, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), which concludes with the following: "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself." It could not be more clear: the Church is calling people to repentance, not to be left to indulge in grave sin. Since becoming public, several senior prelates as well as other notable Catholic figures have voiced their opposition to these remarks attributed to the Pontiff. Cardinal Raymond Burke stated: "It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the private opinions reported with so much emphasis by the press and attributed to Pope Francis do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church, as it is expressed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition." Cardinal Gerhard Müller commented: "Where there is tension between the plain and obvious Word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand, and private expressions of opinion even by the highest church authorities on the other, the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO [When in doubt, be in favor of God]." And, Catholic theologian and apologist Scott Hahn, without directly quoting Pope Francis, shared on Facebook the 'Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,' published by the CDF in 1986, with the statement: "Holy Father, respectfully and humbly, I beg to differ... if that is indeed what you said. In any case, please clarify and rectify your statement, especially in view of the official teaching of our Lord through the magisterium of His Church." But, the silence from the Vatican has been deafening, with no clarification forthcoming. We must, therefore, ask the Pope for clarification in this serious matter. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify remarks attributed to him in support of homosexual civil unions. FOR MORE INFORMATION: 'Cdl.

And what a mob it was. Łancucki said there were there two groups of protesters on Sunday, the larger being thousands of Poles, misinformed as to what the constitutional ruling will actually outlaw, showing their anger again and hatred for the Church, and the smaller group composed of far-left activists.
According to the young Catholic, the first group rightly sees the Catholic Church as the source of moral order in Poland, whereas the second “consists of radical leftists, anarchists, and communists who know well what is their end goal — the same cliches that they want anywhere else in the world at this moment: to put an end to religion, to demolish the patriarchy, to fight with capitalism, and to sexually liberate all.”
There were many women among the pro-abortion demonstrators, Łancucki said, and the majority of them seemed between 16 and 35 years old. Their disgust for children with Down syndrome was audible.
“They were equating saving the life of an unborn with fascism, Nazism, totalitarianism, and hatred of women,” he said.
“Their language was far from civil: for hours they repeatedly shouted, ‘You raise your Down’ (referring to kids with Down syndrome); ‘F— off’; ‘F— the Church’; ‘Our body, our choice’; and the like. When we tried to talk with smaller groups, we often spotted individuals under the influence of drugs and alcohol.”
What has happened to Catholic Poland?
Visitors to Poland are used to thinking of the nation of a bastion of Catholicism, a place where saint John Paul II is still, somehow, the pope. However, Łancucki believes that the left’s “long march through the institutions” has come to fruition even there.
“The left has completed its march through institutions, the very same march Rudi Dutschke prescribed as a necessary condition for the revolution,” he told LifeSiteNews.
“One can say that it is a total failure on the part of the Church and Polish education system,” he continued.
“Conservatives neglected the education in Poland while at the very same time the international left has funded countless initiatives since the 1990s to reform and inform the educators. Far too long were we at ease, thinking that the living memory of JPII is all that Poland needed to remain Catholic and conservative.”
But the conservative movements ceded entertainment and pop culture to the left, with fatal results.
“There are hardly any popular TV shows or books even subtly promoting Christian and conservative values,” Łancucki said.
“Modern Christian music is unattractive, and Christian movie productions are often inaccessible to the modern mind, not to mention the art. Polish youths are the very same youths of France, Ireland, and the U.S.: not at all immune to the global trends and secularization. We need to be brave and restore everything in Christ.”
The Church has not risen to the challenge, he believes. Although orthodox “in many regards,” it has not found the new language necessary to connect with the new generation of Poles. Guitar Masses, an over-reliance on the memory of John Paul II, and “infantalized catechesis” has led to indifference and apostasy.
“Over the years, our youths started following and listening to the very same celebrities that corrupt the brains of many in the West,” the young father said.
“Poles are watching the same movies and subscribing to the very same Netflix.”
Meanwhile, the “revolution” now taking place in Poland is the same that became palpable in Western Europe of the 1960s.
“Little by little, we saw a formation of numerous Saul Alinsky–style community organizing associations and groups funded by the international left and the likes of George Soros,” Łancucki said.
“One notable source of such financial disruption is the [Soros-funded] Stefan Batory Foundation that funnelled tens of millions of zlotys [into Poland] over the course of many years.”
Ultimately, Łancucki is “proud” that he and other Cracovians managed to stop several acts of vandalism and “shown the anarchists that they are not welcome in the house of God unless they came to worship.”
“Further, we have managed to clean every single church, and we took down every single hanger, poster, and pro-abortion sign in the town,” he added.
“I am especially proud of what we have done with the candles scattered around town by the protesters. We disposed of those marked with [obscene] signs and stickers and turned the rest into makeshift prayer altars for the intention of the unborn.”
He added that despite the lack of hierarchical Church support, religious brothers and priests helped to remove the offensive anti-Catholic displays.
This morning, veteran Polish journalist Grzegorz Górny told LifeSiteNews that Catholic Poles are feeling very alone against the pro-abortion attacks.
“There were no voices of support from around the world for the Polish Constitutional Tribunal, the ruling right wing and Polish Catholics,” Górny stated by email.
Reflecting on earlier coverage, he said, “Nobody said it was a historic event. Nobody said that the Polish pro-life decision goes against all global trends.”
