Vitae Caring Foundation’s Bottom Line

Carl Landwehr, founder and president of the Vitae Caring Foundation, saw a need for a way to reach more people concerning abortion.  So he filled it with his foundation.

Vitae Caring Foundation


“You’ve got to tell the story,” Landwehr said to a group of pro-life supporters in West Chester, Pa., last Saturday evening.  The mass media was a natural fit, he said, because “advertising changes the way people think and the way people behave.”

To ensure effective—life saving—advertising, the Vitae Caring Foundation invested in research that helped group members “learn how to speak to pregnant women,” said Landwehr.  They also realized that “one message does not fit all,” that addressing abortion “was more complicated than sharing information.”

The group’s goal is to encourage pregnant women with unplanned pregnancies, who “feel alone and desperate,” to turn to pregnancy centers for help, Landwehr said.  There’s no “finger pointing, no relying for help from legislators or the president,” simply a Vitae bottom line that says “I saved a life.”

Vitae takes its ads into the toughest markets, places with skyrocketing abortion rates.  It counts successes, saved lives or lower abortion rates, in New York City, Dallas and Atlanta, among other areas, said Landwehr.

The powerful, award-winning ads, here, speak for themselves.

Advertising is expensive.  In order to keep those commercials coming, the Vitae Caring Foundation would welcome your support.

Student Forced to Remove Pro-Life Abortion T-Shirt

This is a guest post by The Diva.  The script was written by The Diva of the Penta-Posse.  Really.




The Talent on screen, The Diva ; Camera-Direction, The Dude;
Grip #1, T-shirt, clapper, The Dancer;
Grip #2 ALL paper, Baby-Boo
My name is Helena Yoest, and I was harassed by the principal of my school because of a shirt.

Ok, so I went to class, just like a regular school day, I had the shirt on, no one was offended or anything by it.

Then my teacher- Mr. Young- says “Mrs. Schaffner wants to see you”

I walk over to her in the hall, she was talking to some other teachers with one or two students flocking around her.

Mrs. Schaffner stops talking when she sees me, pulls me over to a corner, and says plainly

“you can’t wear the shirt”

Wow. 5 minutes into the day and I’ve been caught in this t-shirt. (I say sarcastically) Shoot.

I say very politely “may I go get something from my locker?”

Mrs.Shaffner says, “eh, yes.”

So I go down to my locker to get a piece of paper, it’s a magical piece of paper that gets me out of trouble.

pro-life_t_shirt_day_2008_penta-posse_yoest.png

National Pro-Life T-Shirt Day
From the American Life League.

Actually, it states my civil rights and how I CAN wear the shirt, no harassment.

I hand over the letter and she hands me a t-shirt with the school name on it. Oh joy.

So I head to the bathroom to change and I hear her say, “were going to have to visit the principal about this.”

So there I am, in the principal’s office. Mrs. Annan (the principal) reads the letter Mrs. Shaffner is babbling about how they’ve never had this happen before, while Mrs. Annan is reading.

Mrs. Shaffner gets called away to do vice principal stuff and

Mrs. Annan pulls up a chair to sit beside me. “How do you know about this political issue?” she asks. “My mom” I say.

“What would you think if a kindergartner went up to you and asked you what it is?” she says pointing at my shirt.

“I would say ‘it’s where doctors and hospitals kill babies’”

You should’ve seen her face when I said that. “I just don’t want you to be uncomfortable.”

She leads me to a bathroom “you can turn it inside out, or you can change, whichever you want” so I change into this ew yucky t-shirt with the school name on it, so they would be happy and quit bothering me.

This is how it was in the classroom:

“Whydya change your t-shirt?” my classmates ask.

“She made me” I say, which isn’t stretching the truth.

I went to art, and my teacher came in the middle of it and said, “walk with me” so I walk with him and he says “you can change into your shirt now, or after art, what do you want?”

I changed after lunch.

Can you believe that?

The principal of an elementary school, pressured and manipulated a 5th grade student to do her wills.

The principal, of all people! Wow.

Lessons on Vitae from Judge Andrew Napolitano

The Vitae Caring Foundation’s fundraiser at the Iron Horse Farm in West Chester, Pa. this past Saturday night lived up to the group’s name.  It was a lively and lovely affair.

(Vitae puts the mass media to good use by educating the public via well-researched, effective advertising that promotes respect for human life.  Look for more on the foundation here on Thursday.)


Vitae Caring Foundation


Fox News’ analyst Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Vitae’s guest speaker, told several stories sprinkled with humor.  Yet, there was no joking in the judge’s lesson on the mindset that enabled passage of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.

“Fatally Flawed” The Party, The Policies, The Candidates

“FATALLY FLAWED”
The Party - The Policies - The Candidates
By Gerry M. Kaye

Outspoken, former U.S. Democrat Zell Miller:
“What has happened to the (Democrat) party I’ve spent my life working in?”
“Military shortages, Social Security crisis, and illegal immigration all linked to abortion.”....
... ....and “Abortion has contributed to the military’s manpower shortage, the
Social Security crisis, and the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States. ... How could this great land of plenty produce
too few people in the last 30 years? Here is the brutal truth that no one dares to mention:
We’re too few because too many of our babies have been killed,” Miller said.
.
“Former Democrat President Carter Condemns Abortion Culture”
Former Pres. Jimmy Carter, while in Washington to promote a book, condemned all abortions and chastised his party for its intolerance of
candidates and nominees who oppose abortion. “I have always thought it was not in the mainstream of the American public to be
extremely liberal on many issues,” Mr. Carter said. “I think our party’s leaders - some of them - are overemphasizing the abortion issue.”

“The ‘Audacity’ of Abortion Friendly Democrat Presidential Candidates”
Political science Prof. Paul Kengor points to a larger question that both abortion friendly Dem. pres. hopefuls
consistently avoid answering. There’s only one word to describe the mindset that would dare to legalize abortion,
or defend the right to abortion, without answering “the difficult question of when life begins. Audacity!
God help us if such audacity keeps passing for leadership. ... Article: http://www.gerrymkaye.org/fatallyflawed.html

New Stanek WND column, “Is Brownback betraying pro-lifers?”

WND%20logo.gif

On April 24, KS pro-life U.S. Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts issued a press release endorsing Steve Howe for Johnson County district attorney.

The release called the position an "open seat."

It is not.

Phill Kline is currently the appointed district attorney and has been urged to reconsider his decision not to run to retain his seat in November....

Kline is the only DA in the country with a pending criminal case against a Planned
Parenthood
....

Brownback knows pro-lifers are encouraging Kline to stay... because many influential pro-lifers called him and asked him to wait for Kline to decide before endorsing. There was no hurry. The filing deadline is still over a month away....

But Brownback... endorsed Howe anyway....

The question is whose help does Brownback want?

RINOS and hacks want the Planned Parenthood investigation ended. They fear a run by Kline will stir more Democrats to vote than might otherwise.

They also consider the Johnson County DA position a launching pad to a bigger and better thing: The AG's office.

Was Brownback enticed to support Howe for a promise of support in his gubernatorial bid by non-conservative Republicans?

Or perhaps he fears sharing the ticket with Kline in 2010?

Last Thursday a group of Kansas pro-life leaders paid Brownback a surprise visit in his
Washington, D.C., office....

July 2 - NEA Teacher Convention Prayer & Picket

Pro-Lifers: Let’s Picket NEA Teacher Convention in Washington, DC & NEA HQs in State Capitals July 2

“Pro-Life teachers, school employees, parents, and students are invited to come pray and peacefully picket the National Education Association’s convention at the Washington Convention Center, July 2nd between 10:00AM and 2:00PM,” announces Pro-Life Educators and Students (PLEAS)

Coordinator, Bob Pawson.

“Especially pro-lifers from DC, Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. Bring your families, friends and pro-life signs and banners. One thousand citizens publically admonishing NEA’s leaders would create national media coverage and inspire the Pro-Life Movement worldwide. So, let’s go!” Hillary Clinton and/or Barack Obama will surely address NEA’s 9,000 Delegates, as they did last year; especially the eventual Democratic nominee.

NEA-PAC may vote for and announce NEA’s endorsement during the convention.  Late-term abortionist George Tiller spoke at NEA headquarters for the Feminist Majority Foundation’s Leadership Conference in March 2008.

METRO Yellow and Green Lines provide convenient transportation for pro-lifers to ‘Mt. Vernon Sq/7th Street & Convention Center’ station.

Click here for directions

Pro-life groups and activists across America are urged to organize lunch-hour pickets at NEA State Affiliate HQs in all fifty states July 2nd, 11AM–1PM. Most prolife groups have school employees, including NEA members, in their ranks. Alert and activate them.  “Please unite in a high-profile rebuke of the leadership of America’s largest, socio-politically meddlesome union for misrepresenting so many teachers on abortion. Seize this opportunity to focus nationwide attention and condemnation upon the pro-abortion activism of arrogant educrats disingenuously pretending to protect both children and teachers’ jobs.”

“A pro-abortion position isn’t just morally outrageous; it’s stupid; economic suicide.  Twenty-five abortions equal one lost classroom, lost teaching careers, and catastrophic losses to America’s future,” said Pawson, an NEA-NJEA teacher in Trenton.

“We teachers love children. Most are pro-life. It’s unacceptable for union representatives to condone or promote killing babies, future students, in their mothers’ wombs. We resent having our dues used to subvert our moral, social, and political values while creating hostile divisions among the rank-and-file. NEA must repeal Family Planning Resolution I-15 and similar policies to respect the diversity of 3.2 million members.”

To recruit picketers, PLEAS is contacting pro-life organizations across America, including over fifty headquartered in the greater DC area.

Pro-Life groups and individuals committed to picketing NEA should e-mail:

Bring traditional pro-life signs or messages like:

PRO-LIFE NEA MEMBER
PRO-LIFE TEACHER
PRO-LIFE STUDENT
REPEAL NEA RES I-15
MAKE NEA ABORTION NEUTRAL
PRO-LIFE PARENT
FORMER FETUS & CURRENT STUDENT
ABORTION=FEWER STUDENTS
ABORTION=UNEMPLOYED TEACHERS
25 ABORTIONS=1 LOST CLASS
