Black Sticks dismiss spy claims from Australia
Relevant offers
The Black Sticks have laughed off suggestions they have been spying on Australia ahead of their crucial first round women's hockey match at the Olympics.
The two sides square off on Sunday in a match that will shape their destiny at the tournament.
And Australia are convinced the Black Sticks have secretly taped two of their training sessions, one in New Zealand and more recently in London last week.
The report in Brisbane's Courier Mail newspaper went on to say Australia even checked the identity of a film crew in the stands in London last week, believing they may have been sent by the Kiwis to get video of the Hockeyroos' penalty corner variations.
They were later identified as Argentinian media.
Black Sticks coach Mark Hager burst into laughter when told of the claim.
"We were in France (last week)," Hager said.
Ironically Hager is an Australia, having been to three previous Olympics as a player and two as an assistant coach.
New Zealand and Australia are ranked sixth and seventh, respectively, in the world. Hager hit back, saying the Aussies must be feeling the pressure.
"From my point of view it is great, they are obviously concerned about us. I know we haven't been doing that," Hager said.
"The only filming we have been doing was when we played the Four Nations, when we played each other, and the other games (Australia played at the tournament).
"It gives us a little bit of confidence that they know we are going to be a challenge and that is plus for us."
Hager joked he may wind up Australian coach Adam Commens, when they next cross paths.
"I will have a bit of sledge or a jest in jest with Adam and some of their staff," Hager added.
"I know them very well. We were going to send Ian Hicks, our video guy, who is an Aussie, to say "hi" and take a couple of pictures."

Ok, people.
They know WE know it was a hoax, and its revelation is either intended or they are not too thorough. The are pulling incriminating images and videos from the net that blow their bullshit story.It is ON!!
So the news is protected by law FROM disclosing the truth, meaning EVERYTHING on ANY news outlet is suspect from its inception.
LEO's right to lie to non-LEO's is protected by the supreme court. Thus, ANYTHING emanating from Lt Paul Lance's mouth is suspect from the beginning.
We have come a long way since 9/11 in the way of technology, social awareness, and collective will to fight the NWO. We need to take this new 9/11 to a different level.

You are 100% correct.
The military and the media and the people who secretly rule us are one in the same.
The media isn't our whistleblower. They are in on the scams and cover them up.
They're all in it together.
And we are their enemy - not terrorist hiding in caves.
The law CLEARLY states that the media has NO obligation to tell us the truth.
Watch this:
"In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by FOX News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States," writes Mike Gaddy.

Cheka Man's original 30 Generals led me to thinking, and so I've a few more for the till ...
Understanding that the planets in the universe are simply eggs, waiting to be torn apart by the creatures inside, gave birth to more questions than answers.
In the desolate wastes of Antarctica, under thick layers of ice and snow, forgotten by the world and only remembered in a few databases of the ancients: There lies Psilabs; a major research complex into the human psyche and the powers of the human mind.
The United States Space Ship Ticonderoga is the largest space vessel ever built. Constructed over 500 years ago, it now orbits earth, most systems shut down - It is a treasure ridden derelict juggernaught.
A leftover relic of the ancients.
Or so would seem.
"Something weird heah! Get yer weird things!" I raised an eyebrow. Street vendors rolled by the Woflo Inn about five hundred blighted times a day, screeching like strangled gulls. I got sick of the racket by the second day, but it was midsummer, and closing the shutters would've choked us with the heat. Blight take this human city anyway, I'd take the Altanian jungles if I had a choice. At least there are no street vendors there.
Chav was on her feet and grabbing for her belt pouch like a shot. "Where are YOU going?" I drawled.
"You GOTTA come see this, Eve! This guy is great!" And with that, she was right out the door and pelting down the stairs.
"Something weird heah! Get yer weird things riiiight heah!"

The cramped and tightly knit Palestra -- the University district of the City -- is a law unto itself. It is dominated by the great University, and by the thousands of students, scholars and hangers-on attached to the school. The University has no dormitories, and many of the buildings and businesses in the district have upper stories crammed with any who do not commute from other areas of the City.
Here are five locations which can add some spice to your city's university district.
This slum reveals the darker face of the City. Shanteytown is exposed to the elements and unprotected by wall or guard. A seedy mixture of driftwood shacks, impromptu shelters, lean-tos and camps thrown up on old ruins, and filled with the underclass and those with nowhere else to go, Shanteytown is for many the end of the line.

Time manipulation has a special place in the realm of the supernatural. It offers endless possibilities and limitless power, but because of this can easily become game-breaking, create onerous repetition, or cause excessive confusion. This post has taken special care to present chrono-themed special abilities that play well with others and mesh with the role-playing format, all while still presenting a new collection of choices and mechanics to explore.

The adventure can take place in a slightly shifted reality, where everybody has a totem (an animal guardian). The totem should be chosen randomly and not by the player, it is ok if "Gorflin the Large," a gigantic and aggressive barbarian, has a mouse for a totem.
These totems will assist the characters in small way. It is up to the characters to determine how to get the assistance; the animals won't solve mysteries for the characters only supply the clues. The character may even have a dream where his or her totem actually speaks to them and reveals some sort of clue.

Carly and Brent first met in San Diego, and three weeks later, decided they wanted to be together forever. "The idea of a destination wedding, the charm of Charleston and the romance of a southern wedding led us to the Cotton Dock at Boone Hall Plantation, the perfect elegant and rustic waterfront venue," shared the bride. "Our chic wedding design combined the neutral tones of materials like burlap and wood, with wrought iron accents and pastel flowers for subdued pops of color under the romantic cafe lighting. For me, it really was a fairytale wedding."
The stunning overarching trees and spanish moss, open air ceremony and rustic reception venue are the prettiest backdrops for Carly and Brent's wedding images, captured by Taylor Rae Photography. The pretty flowers, designed by Branch Design Studio, featured lots of baby's breath, cabbage roses, astilbe and silver leaf, for a romantic and feminine touch.

Costumes worn by Michael Jackson commanded hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction, and Lady Gaga was among the collectors.
Gaga tweeted Sunday that she bought 55 pieces in the sale administered by Julien's Auctions and said she plans to keep the items ''archived and expertly cared for in the spirit and love of Michael Jackson, his bravery and fans worldwide.''
Auctioneer Darren Julien said the jacket Jackson wore during his ''Bad'' tour fetched $240,000.
Two of Jackson's crystal-encrusted gloves sold for more than $100,000 each, as did other jackets and performance costumes.
The auction featuring the collection of Jackson's longtime costume designers Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush raised more than $5 million. Some proceeds benefited Guide Dogs of America and Nathan Adelson Hospice of Las Vegas.

The rabbi talked about innocent *gentile* babies but will surely not hesitate, as Yigal Amir did not hesitate, to eliminate adult *Jewish* opposition. These people are not governed by reason. Thanks Akiva Eldar for putting meat on what were until now only allegations and rumours. When Jews like Meir #15 understand fully what has transpired here thanks in large part to American Jewish money, there is hope that change might come from inside the American Jewish community if Obama does not have the clout to impose it from the outside.

McGuinty's 'sexual political agenda' is 'using our children as pawns' warns Sun News host
OTTAWA, Ontario, May 29, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A conservative culture critic pulled the lamb's fleece off McGuinty's anti-bullying legislation last week, arguing the Bill's "sexual political agenda" aims to take down "Ontario's Catholic School system by forcing them to accept secular doctrine that goes against their religion."
Brian Lilley, host of Byline on Sun News Network, told viewers of last week's show that McGuinty's Bill 13 would "force every school to set up and let students run clubs on their own – meaning without the teachers – and the purpose of these clubs, even if it is not in the name is to have gay straight alliances."
Lilley said that while just about anybody is against bullying, "homosexuality is not the main cause of bullying in schools, not by a long shot – that would be body image."
Researchers in Toronto found that the most common type of bullying was based on body image, followed by school grades, with bullying based on sexual orientation coming a distant fifth after cultural background and language.
Don Hutchinson, Evangelical Fellowship of Canada vice-president said recently that media coverage leads the unsuspecting viewer to erroneously conclude that children are most often bullied for reasons relating to sexual orientation or gender identity.
"[S]tudents are actually most frequently bullied, both in traditional forms of aggression as well as through cyber-bullying, for three primary reasons: body image or appearance; school grades or marks; and cultural background and race," he said.
During his show, Lilley highlighted the testimony of psychiatrist Dr. Tim Lau, who critiqued Bill 13 for promoting student led Gay Straight Alliance clubs that are purposefully devoid of teacher or parental guidance.
Dr. Lau referred to a website created by Canada's most influential homosexual lobby group Egale, a group devoted to the promotion of GSAs, to point out the kind of material that school children in unsupervised GSA clubs will be exposed to. On MyGSA.ca, schoolaged youths are invited to a support group of "gay, bi and queer young men ages 18-29 who use drugs and alcohol."
"We support guys who use drugs to use in safer ways. No one will be told they have to quit. We talk open and honestly about drugs and alcohol free of judgment. We are sex-positive. We talk about sex from an encouraging point of view. We talk about the kinds of sex we want to have, the sex we have when we're sober and the sex we have when we're high or drunk."
"That's not a student support group, that's a hook-up service for stoners," said Lilley. "Will this sort of thing be supervised properly in these clubs? I doubt it."
Lilley also pointed out that Bill 13 violates the rights of denominational schools as guaranteed by the Constitution. Section 93 of the Constitution Act of 1867 states that "In an for each Province the Legislature may exclusively make Laws in relation to Education" provided that "Nothing in any such Law shall prejudicially affect any Right or Privilege with respect to Denominational Schools which any Class of Persons have by Law in the Province…".
"Catholic schools are being told they have to accept that which goes against their faith in order to stop discrimination even though that itself is a form of discrimination," said Lilley.
"McGuinty's move here is not about stopping bullying. There are five previous laws passed to stop bullying and more laws won't stop kids from being mean to each other. … This bill is about pushing a sexual political agenda and smashing any opposition in the way using the courts and legislature and overturning the constitution if they have to. Right now the main opposition is the Catholic school system and that makes them the target."
"Whether you are Catholic or not, support those schools or not, this story should bother you. It is agenda politics at its worst and it's using our children as pawns."
BlogsCatholic Church, Family Wed Apr 27, 2016 - 8:06 pm EST
Pope Francis seems out of touch with the reality of modern Catholicism
April 27, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Pope Francis' apostolic exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, his final word on the two Synods on the Family, shows a remarkable depth of knowledge about the struggles of families, their joys, and sorrows, their struggles and their triumphs. Much of the 250+ page document can be read with interest by couples discerning marriage to see what they are in for and garner a good amount of sage advice, especially psychological advice on how to have a happy and lasting union.
That same keen insight however seems lacking when Pope Francis assesses the modern Church. The exhortation gives evidence that the Pope is misinformed about the interior life of parishes. While getting very detailed information on the realities of family life, the Pope proffered what seems like pure fantasy as he suggested that when presenting marriage, pastors often do so with "an almost exclusive insistence on the duty of procreation," overshadowing love, mutual assistance and unity.
As the countless Catholic couples in Catholic marriage prep classes over the last 40 years will attest, the opposite is true. The duty of procreation is given a nod if mentioned at all. You'd never guess that procreation is the primary end of marriage as the Church actually teaches.
It is almost as if the Pope seems to be envisioning the Church today as if it were the liberal perception of 1950s Catholicism. As New York Times columnist Ross Douthat mentioned in a conference speech the other day: "The idea that there is this glorious future church waiting to be born as long as we get rid of the dead hand of 1950s Catholicism that the pope seems to perceive everywhere he looks, is nuts! It's just nuts. That's not where Catholicism in the West is right now."
In another example from the exhortation, Pope Francis claims the Church has failed to encourage an openness to grace and is simply "stressing doctrinal, bioethical and moral issues," as if that would be "providing sufficient support to families, strengthening the marriage bond and giving meaning to marital life." Once again, the couples in marriage prep and those in most parishes would wonder how they totally missed this supposed stress on doctrinal, bioethical, or moral issues.
It is reminiscent of the first year of his papacy when Pope Francis suggested that Catholic clergy were over-focused on "abortion, gay marriage and the use of contraceptive methods," causing many to wonder, as did Santa Rosa Bishop Robert Vasa, where exactly those preachers obsessed on those issues might be hiding. Vasa suggested rather that the "vast majority" never talk about those matters. Francis' suggestion was a marked contrast to Pope St. John Paul II's admonition to propose those same truths "constantly and courageously" (Evangelium Vitae 82).
"We also find it hard to make room for the consciences of the faithful," says the Pope in Amoris Laetitiae, "who very often respond as best they can to the Gospel amid their limitations, and are capable of carrying out their own discernment in complex situations." In the exhortation the Pope also repeats his stern warning from his 2013 Gospel of Joy, that priests are not to treat the confessional as "a torture chamber" or reserve Holy Communion as "a prize for the perfect."
If such a form of Catholicism ever existed among the majority of priests, it is long dead. I'm sure there are some such priests alive today, but they are the tiniest minority. The pendulum has swung so far to the opposite extreme, that in the vast majority priests say hardly anything about the duty of procreation in marriage, and we've had virtual silence from most pulpits on abortion, contraception, and homosexuality.
When is the last time you saw any priest anywhere denying someone Holy Communion for not being perfect? If you have heard something of it, it was so rare as to make the national news. For crying out loud, what part of 1950s Catholicism can remain alive if Catholic abortion-pushers like Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden are not denied Communion but rather invited to give talks at the Vatican!?

Planned Parenthood's definitely not happy Ted Cruz picked a pro-life woman as running mate
Updated at 5:15 p.m. EDT to include remarks from Carly Fiorina.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 27, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Sen. Ted Cruz has named former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina as his running mate, if he wins the Republican presidential nomination in July.
"After a great deal of time and thought, after a great deal of consideration and prayer," Sen. Cruz said at a rally in Indianapolis, he decided that "I will run on a ticket with my vice presidential nominee, Carly Fiorina."
Cruz hailed Fiorina as "brilliant and capable," saying she was a strong female leader who had "shattered glass ceilings."
Sen. Cruz said he and his family had "come to adore Carly."
He said Fiorina has the knowledge, judgment, and character to assume the presidency, if need be.
"This is an individual who I trust," he said. "This is an individual you can trust to lead this country, no matter what might happen."
Sen. Cruz said the American people deserve "a choice and not an echo," a reference to the 1964 book of the same title written by Phyllis Schlafly, the founder of Eagle Forum. Schlafly has endorsed Donald Trump.
In her remarks, which she glanced at only intermittently, Carly Fiorina saluted Cruz as a "principled" leader who had fought for religious liberty and would not waver in his defense of the Constitution.
At one point, Fiorina broke into a snippet of a four-verse song she wrote for Cruz's two daughters, Caroline and Catherine.
Becoming more serious, she invoked her mother's Sunday School lesson that the life you forge "is your gift to God." That taught her that "everyone deserves the right to use his God-given gifts to live up to his potential," and the American genius was reckognizing that this right had been endowed by the Creator.
To allow maximum human flourishing, she said, Sen. Cruz would return as much power as possible to the states and to the people, a view that jibes with the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, as well as the principle of subsidiarity.
Republican frontrunner Donald Trump dismissed the Cruz-Fiorina announcement as "a pure waste of time."
"Cruz has no path to victory," he said. "He is only trying to stay relevant."
In his speech this afternoon, Cruz responded that "nobody is getting to 1,237 delegates" before the convention.
Pro-abortion groups called the ticket out-of-touch with the feminist movement.
Planned Parenthood tweeted that the pairing was "loathsome":
Meet the most loathsome pair of anti-abortion extremists in America. https://t.co/nAGLu3BVfF #NotMyCandidate pic.twitter.com/nZ0NCbIE0B— Planned Parenthood (@PPact) April 27, 2016
"If Ted Cruz thinks he will fix his problem with women voters with Carly Fiorina, he's making a huge mistake," agreed EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock on MSNBC this afternoon. "They want to dismantle Planned Parenthood. This is not a team that women voters are going to be taking a serious look at."
Carly Fiorina, she said, would offer an "incredible contrast" with Hillary Clinton.
But Cruz's decision was hailed by pro-life leaders.
"Carly Fiorina would have been a great presidential candidate. Barring that, she is the ideal choice for a Vice Presidential candidate. She will take Hillary Clinton head on," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of Susan B. Anthony List. "Carly is ideally suited to challenge Hillary Clinton's entire platform, especially issues related to women."
"Hillary has claimed the 'women's advocate' mantle, without offering any compelling fresh perspective," Dannenfelser continued. "Carly, on the other hand, has challenged and bested the entrenched feminist politicos, who purport to advance women's rights even as they advance the usurpation of the rights of children."
The last time a presidential candidate named a running mate who had no legislative experience was 1972, when George McGovern tapped Sargent Shriver, the last pro-life Democrat to appear on a presidential ticket.
Indiana will hold its primary next Tuesday, May 3. Polls show Donald Trump leading handily, but they were taken before Gov. John Kasich of neighboring Ohio agreed not to contest the state, leaving the anti-Trump vote to Sen. Cruz.

Catholic expert dismantles dissident theologians' campaign against Polish abortion ban
April 27, 2016 (LifeSiteNews) – Dr. Joseph Shaw, a research fellow at Oxford's St. Benet Hall and chairman of the Latin Mass Society of England and Wales, has written a strong critique of a campaign spearheaded by dissident British theologian Tina Beattie urging the Polish bishops not to support the current proposed abortion ban.
In his essay, presented below, Dr. Shaw writes that the "Beattie Petition" selectively and misleadingly quotes the Second Vatican Council; fails to acknowledge the benefits of criminalizing abortion; and illogically suggests that an increase in contraception will reduce abortion in cases of rape, fetal disability, and threats to the mother's life. Furthermore, Shaw writes that the petition is incompatible with Catholic doctrine because it is written with the presumption that abortion is not always an act of injustice toward the pre-born child.
Polish law currently allows abortion in cases of rape, when the baby has a disability, or when the mother's life is in danger, and the proposed ban would eliminate these exceptions.
Shaw skewers the petition signers' appeals to compassion and mercy in their argument for abortion. "It is difficult to see 'mercy, forgiveness, and compassion' at work in the decision to abort a disabled or sick child," he writes.
A response to the Beattie Petition, by Dr. Joseph Shaw
Executive summary
The 'Open Letter from Concerned Catholics' (the 'Beattie Petition') directed to the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Poland attempts to discourage the Polish Bishops in their support for the full criminalisation of abortion in their country. It claims that, since in particular hard cases women are faced with 'agonizing decisions' about abortion, its criminalisation is contrary to a 'woman's freedom of conscience'. It is a principle of Catholic teaching, and of common sense, however, that freedom of conscience does not imply a freedom to inflict injustice on others, and that the State is obliged to protect the innocent. The Beattie Petition attempts to confuse matters by the selective quotation of Vatican II's Dignitatis humanae, ignoring this limitation on freedom of conscience, and ignoring the condemnation of abortion by Vatican II in Gaudium et spes, not only as a sin on the conscience of the individual, but as a crime to be 'guarded against'. Finally, the Beattie Petition fails to acknowledge the good consequences of the criminalisation, even if the law is only imperfectly enforced, notably in reducing the number of abortions, and freeing the medical profession from official involvement in a procedure contrary to the very nature of the medical vocation.
An 'Open Letter' or petition has been publicised calling on the Catholic Bishops of Poland to withdraw their support for a legislative initiative to criminalise all abortion. The signatures are arranged in alphabetical order, but the second name, Tina Beattie, Professor of Catholic Studies at Roehampton, is one of the very few which will be widely recognised, and it will be convenient to refer to the document as 'the Beattie Petition'. The text, purporting to come from signatories who 'respect the Church's moral stance against abortion', is a disgraceful, but wholly unsuccessful, attempt to justify a failure to protect the unborn. It's central contention, that abortion is not always an act of injustice towards innocent life deserving of legal protection, cannot overcome, and only ignore, Pope St John Paul II's powerful declaration the Church's infallible teaching on abortion, in his 1995 Encyclical Evanglium vitae §57:
Therefore, by the authority which Christ conferred upon Peter and his Successors, and in communion with the Bishops of the Catholic Church, I confirm that the direct and voluntary killing of an innocent human being is always gravely immoral. This doctrine, based upon that unwritten law which man, in the light of reason, finds in his own heart (cf. Rom 2:14-15), is reaffirmed by Sacred Scripture, transmitted by the Tradition of the Church and taught by the ordinary and universal Magisterium.
Before analysing the Petition, it is well to consider what legislation can hope to achieve on the subject of abortion. The answer is simple: the criminalisation of abortion will reliably suppress the openly practiced, legal abortion industry.
Abortion's proponents, including the Beattie Petition, invariably argue that 'driving abortion underground' is of no benefit, but this is far from being the case. Most obviously, in times and places where abortion has been illegal, but where the availability of illegal abortion has been widely known, and efforts to stamp out illegal abortion far from vigorous, the number of abortions actually carried out has been very small compared with the number performed when abortion has been decriminalised, even under apparently restrictive legal regimes.
There are in addition three other important benefits of criminalisation.
First, the abortion industry's legal existence creates permanent pressure for the easing of restrictions on abortion, by its support for political campaigning in favour of abortion; similarly, its existence acts as an advertisement of its services, even if some forms of open advertisement are not permitted.
Second, the abortion industry, as countless examples from around the world have demonstrated in recent years, has scant regard for the legal limitations under which it is supposed to operate, or for the safety of its clients. Indeed, it is also a fallacy, exposed in the most painful manner by recent criminal convictions in the United States that, unsafe and even illegal abortions, with poorly trained abortionists and in unsanitary conditions, necessarily disappear when abortion is legalised.
Third, the existence of legal abortion is corrosive to the ethos of the medical profession, whose training and practice is obliged to take account of abortion as a supposedly legitimate procedure. In practice, where abortion is legal and hospitals carry it out, administrators will put pressure on practioners to perform this unpopular procedure, and will ensure that it is included in medical training. A section, at least, of the medical profession will, often against their will, necessarily become involved in abortion, and its putative legitimacy will have to be taken into account in any discussion of medical ethics, undermining a proper understanding of the role of the doctor in relation to his or her patients, in the tradition of the Hippocratic Oath and of Catholic teaching on the Natural Law.
The central contention of the Beattie petition bears on another benefit of criminalisation, which is the most important of all: its effect on women in crisis pregnancies. The Petition claims:
We appreciate the complex ethical challenges involved in any intentionally abortive act. However, we also believe that our Catholic faith calls us to be attentive to suffering in all its forms, and to respond with trust in the mercy, forgiveness and compassion of God when faced with with [sic] profound moral dilemmas that offer no clear solution. In situations where abortion is deemed necessary – such as those currently permitted under Polish law – we believe that access to early, safe and legal abortion is essential.
The cases currently permitted by Polish law are those where a pregnancy is the result of rape; where the mother's life is endangered by the pregnancy; and where the unborn child is severely disabled or terminally ill. It is these cases alone which will be affected by a complete ban, and which are addressed by the Beattie Petition.
It is difficult to see 'mercy, forgiveness, and compassion' at work in the decision to abort a disabled or sick child, particularly when the serious psychological and physical dangers abortion, compared with childbirth, has for mothers. Abortion is the preferred answer, rather, of a medical and social system which would rather not be burdened by the task of supporting mothers and their children in these difficult circumstances.
When a child is conceived in rape, the motivation of the rape victim and her friends and family in seeking abortion is easy to understand. It is equally clear, however, that it can never be a healing choice for a mother to consent to the destruction of her own child. The testimony of many women to the psychological trauma caused by abortion does not encourage the view that abortion is an easy way out for victims of rape.
The Petition focuses, instead, on the case of mothers whose health in endangered by continuing a pregnancy. In this case, the question arises of whether, in the context of modern medicine, such cases actually occur. The 2012 Dublin Declaration on Maternal Health states:
As experienced practitioners and researchers in obstetrics and gynaecology, we affirm that direct abortion – the purposeful destruction of the unborn child – is not medically necessary to save the life of a woman.
This has been signed by more than a thousand medical practioners. The Declaration clearly distinguishes, as the Catholic moral tradition does, and as laws restricting abortion typically do, between abortion, as a procedure aiming at the death of an unborn child, and the medical treatment of a pregnant mother which may endanger the child's life. In the Catholic tradition, as in the law, the latter can often be legitimate, taking account of the seriousness of the threat to the mother, the possibility of alternative treatments, and so on.
The Beattie Petition appeals to the tragic circumstances implied in each of these cases, with the implication that offering the possibility of abortion is the compassionate thing to do. For a mother in a crisis pregnancy, in some cases traumatised by rape, in other cases seriously ill, or struggling to come to terms with the news that her child is severely disabled, the offer of abortion is not a compassionate intervention. When offered, perhaps with the encouragement of doctors or family members, it will generally present itself as a recommendation. Like all medical recommendations, it will in such circumstances require a special strength of character to resist it, particularly when accompanied by the implied threat: if you don't abort, the baby will remind you of the rape, the baby will be disabled, the baby will kill you: claims which will not necessarily be true. Such recommendations may be accompanied by pressure, of a subtle or not so subtle kind, from partners or family members, who may for a variety of reasons prefer the baby not to exist. The open door to abortion will distract the attention of all involved from the alternative possibilities: of accepting the unique and sacred character of the child's life, and of coming to terms with the problems implied by the pregnancy with the support of doctors, family members, and where appropriate the state. Offering abortion to mothers in these cases can, in practice, be hard to distinguish from dispatching them down a pathway of convenience for others, a pathway in which the complications of a crisis pregnancy are swept aside, and the mother is left to cope with the trauma of abortion instead, a trauma the existence of which the advocates of abortion, like the signatories of the Beattie Petition, do not wish even to acknowledge.
It is precisely in these tragic circumstances, more so than in cases where abortion is motivated by apparently frivolous considerations, that the reality of abortion is apparent, as an injustice not only to the unborn, but to the mother. Legal abortion opens up the most vulnerable women of all to pressure to consent to a crime against their unborn child, and against themselves. The criminalisation of abortion, as proposed today in Poland, is a step towards the protection of women and the unborn alike.
Two other claims of the Beattie Petition should briefly be considered. First is the claim that abortion could be reduced by greater availability of contraception:
Finally, there is a body of evidence to show that the best way to prevent abortion is to respect women's human dignity and freedom of conscience with regard to reproductive decisions, by guaranteeing access to reliable methods of birth control.
Such evidence as is commonly cited is far from decisive, however; what is widely observed and agreed is that the majority of women seeking abortion had been using contraception. The connection between a contraceptive culture and the demand for abortion was set out by Pope St John Paul II in Evangelium vitae (1995) §13. It is strange, in any case, that this claim should be thought to have bearing on the cases of pregnancy resulting from rape, or where abortion is suggested because an unborn child is disabled, or the pregnancy is supposedly a danger to the mother's life. However rare or common such cases may be, reliable contraception is not going to prevent them arising.
The second claim is the alleged relevance of religious freedom, and Dignatatis humanae, the Declaration on Religious Liberty of the Second Vatican Council, §2. This section deals with the freedom to profess religious beliefs. Any understanding of religious freedom must distinguish between the manifestation of beliefs in harmless ways, and the alleged manifestation of religious beliefs in ways which are unjust to others, particularly others who are do not, or cannot, consent to this treatment. What is unjust must, in turn, necessarily be assessed objectively. Dignitatis humanae makes precisely this distinction, in §7, and ignoring this fact is an indication of a lack of intellectual integrity in the Beattie Petition:
The right to religious freedom is exercised in human society: hence its exercise is subject to certain regulatory norms. In the use of all freedoms the moral principle of personal and social responsibility is to be observed. In the exercise of their rights, individual men and social groups are bound by the moral law to have respect both for the rights of others and for their own duties toward others and for the common welfare of all. Men are to deal with their fellows in justice and civility.
As a matter of fact, the Second Vatican Council directly addressed the issue of abortion, in the Dogmatic Constitution Gaudium et spes, §51, which stressed the obligation to guard against what is a crime, and not just a private sin:
For God, the Lord of life, has conferred on men the surpassing ministry of safeguarding life in a manner which is worthy of man. Therefore from the moment of its conception life must be guarded with the greatest care while abortion and infanticide are unspeakable crimes.
The Beattie Petition also includes an appeal to 'the call to mercy and compassion mercy' of Pope Francis. The petitioners can find no comfort, however, in the Holy Father's most recent publication, the Post-Synodal Exhortation Amoris Laetitia (2016) §83:
So great is the value of a human life, and so inalienable the right to life of an innocent child growing in the mother's womb, that no alleged right to one's own body can justify a decision to terminate that life, which is an end in itself and which can never be considered the "property" of another human being.

When I was invited to "An Evening With India Hicks," I immediately wanted to attend because I had a vague idea that she was somehow related to the royal family, that she was fabulous and stylish, and that an evening with her should not be missed. [Read more…]
Horsey Living Room Refresh With Minted
Until recently, I'd had the same Marimekko fabric print hanging above our couch for, oh, a dozen years? I rather liked it and was proud to have kind of DIY'd it—as in I bought the fabric and the assembly-required frame and put it all together. That's pretty much the extent of my DIY abilities.
And since said abilities are limited, the fabric always seemed to have unsolvable wrinkles which became one of those eyesores in the house that you don't even see anymore because your brain figures it shouldn't care since you're not in any way addressing the issue.
So when Minted got in touch about a collaboration on their art selection, I jumped at the opportunity. This beautiful horse photograph by Jenni Kupelian caught my eye and while I wondered how the husband would feel about it, I almost didn't want to ask him because I was really falling for this horse. If he wasn't on board, it would be a problem. [Read more…]
My 20-Year Skincare Secret + a Giveaway!
Hey everyone! Here I am with my face, wearing my old glasses because I broke my newer ones. I've been obsessed with my skin since I was in my 20s, mainly because of my issues with acne over the years. But also, I won't lie, because of vanity. When I was a nanny in Colorado in my 20s, the mother of the family I worked for convinced me to go to her aesthetician. Perhaps she thought I had a trust fund because one facial plus the products I couldn't resist buying cost the equivalent of about a week's worth of nannying.
But, like I said, I was vain, and that's where my priorities were. Never mind rent and health insurance.
Outfit Serendipity: Backyard Sneaks + Mara Hoffman Jumpsuit
A friend recently introduced me to Eliana and Doug Reffue, the couple behind finally bringing Backyard sneakers to the United States. They've been sold in Denmark since 1972, but this is the first time they're being imported to the US. I thought sneaks were so cute and they immediately gave me a Camp Collection vibe. When I got my pair in the mail, I was racking my brain on how to style them just right. My initial thought was jeans and a tee… but then I thought well isn't that expected and couldn't you try getting a little more creative, Ms. Fashion Blogger?
What if Albaloo Polo (Sour Cherry Rice) Were an Outfit?
Even though I've been part of a Persian family for nearly 15 years, I only recently tasted albaloo polo, or sour cherry saffron rice with tiny meatballs and pistachios (and I think almonds on this version), for the first time. I'm guessing my mother-in-law hasn't made it when I'm around because historically I was vegetarian and/or pescetarian. But in the past couple years I've been eating everything, and this was served at a family party just after I completed the hormone reset diet, so it was good timing (Thank you Hengahmeh!). And it was DELICIOUS! So delicious that it deserved an outfit.

The Embarrassing Joy of Appliances
Is this not the most stunning kitchen you've seen in your entire life? To be clear, it's not mine, and my kitchen looks 100% nothing like this. Mine features cabinets from 1974, formica countertops (at least they're white), and a linoleum floor that we'll discuss no further.
But since starting the Hormone Reset Diet that I've been going on about, I've been spending much more time in said kitchen, and a few appliances have made me feel a little bit like I'm in a luxurious one. I actually have to remind myself to calm down sometimes, I mean, it's just a blender. But it's so good at making smoothies! Give me a fizzy-water maker and I'm feeling fancy as hell. A nice new toaster oven has me roasting beets like nobody's business and feeling like Gordon Ramsey (but nicer).
If you, too, are stuck in a rental with an aesthetically-challenged kitchen, modern machinery can do wonders for your mental health. Here are my current happy-making appliances. [Read more…]
The Beauty of Brunch Without Stressing Over the Menu
Photos by Sofala Knapton
I love clothes, accessories, shoes, jewelry. I love acquiring new versions of all of the above. But I would trade new things any day for an amazing experience. A catered brunch with my closest friends like the one IfOnly hosted for us this past weekend is the perfect example. Actually enjoying time with friends instead of stressing over food preparation is a luxury more valuable than any pair of shoes. Pretty much any pair of shoes. OK maybe not these.
But seriously, I feel so fortunate to have wonderful friends to spend a Sunday afternoon with, and this was a really special group. [Read more…]
Wearing Dresses in the Fog
Pacifica is not known as a place to rock your new summer sundresses. Most people walking around here are wearing sweatshirts and jeans, often with a hat out of necessity rather than style. But I love dresses because they're so easy to throw on and feel a bit put together. So over the past five years of living here, I've stocked up on long-sleeved maxi dresses. No worries about a blown-up skirt or chilly exposed arms.
I fell in love at first sight with this orange and black one from Osei Duro, an LA-based, sustainable brand that supports the local apparel industry and produces beautiful fabrics that are hand-dyed in Ghana. They design the best dresses, jumpsuits, tops and pants. I also really dig their jewelry.
Also can you believe these shoes? [Read more…]

Andrew Roberts: The Case for Pre-Emptive War, From Goliath to the DardanellesRoundup: Historians' Take
tags: Andrew Roberts, pre-emptive war
Mr. Roberts, a historian, is the author, most recently, of "The Storm of War: A New History of the Second World War" (Harper, 2011).
When—and it is most probably now a question of when, rather than if—Israel is forced to bomb Iran's uranium enrichment facilities, the Israeli government will immediately face a cacophony of denunciation from the press in America and abroad; the international left; the United Nations General Assembly; 20 secretly delighted but fantastically hypocritical Arab states; some Democratic legislators in Washington, D.C.; and a large assortment of European politicians. Critics will doubtless harp on about international law and claim that no right exists for pre-emptive military action. So it would be wise for friends of Israel to mug up on their ancient and modern history to refute this claim.
The right, indeed the duty, of nations to proactively defend themselves from foes who seek their destruction with new and terrifying weaponry far pre-dates President George W. Bush and Iraq. It goes back earlier than Israel's successful pre-emptive attacks on Iraq's Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981 (not to mention other pre-emptive Israeli attacks like the one on the Syrian nuclear program in 2007). It even predates Israel's 1967 pre-emption of massed Arab armies, a move that saved the Jewish state. History is replete with examples when pre-emption was successful, as well as occasions when, because pre-emption wasn't employed, catastrophe struck.
When it became clear that the Emperor Napoleon was about to commandeer the large and formidable Danish navy stationed at Copenhagen in 1807, the British Royal Navy attacked without a declaration of war and either sank, disabled or captured almost the entire fleet. No one screamed about "international law" in those days, of course, any more than statesmen would have cared if they had. Neither did Winston Churchill give any warning to the Ottoman Empire, a German ally, when he ordered the bombardment of the Dardanelles Outer Forts in November 1914, also without a war declaration....
