What is personhood?

When the term “Person” is granted to a human being, it refers to the presence of a particular set of characteristics that grant that individual certain rights such as the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In other words, to be a person is to be protected by a series of God given and constitutionally protected rights.

Listen to the interview, next Monday 02/22/10 in KVSS 102.7fm at 1:30pm on Loving Life Radio.

Super Bowl Sunday is a seminal event for just about every television-watching American because it offers something for everyone.

…This year’s commercial lineup has created a stir unlike any other because CBS has green lighted an ad produced by Focus on the Family. The as-yet-unseen ad tells the story of Pam Tebow, who, despite pressure to abort her unborn son, chose to carry him to term. That baby boy grew up to be college football phenomenon Tim Tebow-the first college sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy and the first college quarterback to both rush and pass for 20 touchdowns in a single season.

The standard script of many pro-abortion and so-called feminist organizations regarding this ad is that it is an affront to women’s rights, and that such examples oversimplify the issue (this despite the fact that they have not seen the ad). Planned Parenthood-the nation’s largest abortion provider-has even released a video featuring former NFL player Sean James and Olympic gold medalist Al Joyner responding to the ad. Yes, they are “responding” to an ad they haven’t actually seen. At one point, James states, “We’re working for a day when every woman will be valued.” Apparently that does not include the thousands of little girls who will never get the chance to mature into women of value because their lives will be taken through abortion.

Putting aside the tired talking points of those who worship at the altar of abortion, what’s really stoking this controversy is the abortion industry’s desire to hide the truth behind their agenda: racism.

Tim Tebow is the perfect foil for such bigoted fodder. He is a white, home-schooled Christian boy poised for great success in life-the left’s stereotype of the pro-life movement.

…This is intended to perpetuate the myth that Planned Parenthood and their ilk are more in tune with the needs and desires of minority cultures than pro-lifers. This coming from an organization that was founded by one of the most virulent racists in history: Margaret Sanger. She being the one who wanted the organization’s motto to be, “To Breed a Race of Thoroughbreds;” she being the one who bragged in her autobiography about speaking to the Klu Klux Klan, and not understanding the group’s controversial nature because it understood the problem that “negroes” represented; and she being the one who thought that eugenics was the only logical way to perpetuate the human race.

To help demonstrate this premise, consider a very similar situation from just five years ago, when rapper Nick Cannon released his moving single, “Can I Live?” Like the Tebow ad, this song told the true and very personal story of Cannon’s mother, whose own pregnancy was a textbook argument for termination according to that industry’s “logic.” She was only 17 and a single, minority woman without the supposedly necessary means needed to raise a child. Cannon’s music video features him hugging his mother and saying, “I love life. I love my mother for giving me life…Thanks for listening, Mama thanks for listening.” Like the Tebows, her gift of love and sacrifice by choosing life was met with great reward. Not only did it give young Nick Cannon the chance at life, but he grew up to enjoy success as a rapper, actor and now TV and radio broadcaster.

But Cannon’s song/video goes much further than the Tebow ad, which Focus on the Family has said does not even contain the word “abortion.”

Biography by Jill Stanek:
“I was a registered nurse in the Labor & Delivery Department at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, in 1999 when discovering babies were being aborted alive and shelved to die in the soiled utility room.
Went public when hospital leaders said that they would not stop. The disclosure immediately grabbed the attention of legislators and media.

Was asked to testify before a U.S. House committee in 2000 and 2001 for the Born Alive Infants Protection Act.

Was fired in August 2001 by Christ Hospital for reasons related to my public outspokenness to its abortion practices.

Was invited by President George W. Bush for his August 2002 signing of the Born Alive Infants Protection Act, which will protect live aborted children from infanticide.

Was also asked to his signing of invitation when he signed the signed the Partial Birth Abortion Ban in November 2003, which will protect partially delivered babies from being killed by abortion (if the Supreme Court lets it stand).

Was named by World Magazine in January 2003 as one of 30 prominent pro-life leaders over the past 30 years, an honor more deserved by innumerable others, but appreciated nonetheless.
I am now a weekly columnist for WorldNetDaily.com and a public speaker on the pro-life issue.”

As an anti-abortion pro-life organization, they fight to change the abortion picture – to end legal abortion and return the right to life to unborn babies from the moment of conception. Their motto is, “Pro-Life: without compromise, without exception, without apology.”

Life Dynamics was founded as a non-profit pro-life organization in 1992 by pro-life activist Mark Crutcher. They have gained a reputation among pro-life groups for their abortion research, their respected Abortion Malpractice Litigation campaign against abortion providers and their aggressive anti abortion Direct Mail Program that helps other pro-life organizations target Planned Parenthood, National Abortion Federation or other abortion clinics in their area.

In the pro-life movement their particular pro-life organization is also known for undercover investigations against abortion providers such as our baby body parts investigation. They have exposed the sale of baby body parts, and most recently they exposed a cover-up of child sex abuse by America’s two largest abortion providers, Planned Parenthood & the National Abortion Federation (NAF).

Mark Crutcher

Mark Crutcher is the founder and president of Life Dynamics Incorporated. Under Mark’s direction, Life Dynamics has done groundbreaking research on the abortion industry and has conducted several unique undercover investigations that have exposed scandalous and even illegal activities at abortion clinics. From documenting how Planned Parenthood and NAF clinics are concealing child rape, to exposing the practice of abortion clinics selling the body parts of aborted babies,
Life Dynamics leaves no stone unturned in it’s fight to return full legal protection to every child – born and pre-born.

Mark has been a recognized leader in the pro-life movement for many years and was the winner of both the Cardinal Von Galen Award presented by Human Life International and the Cardinal O’Connor Pro-Life Hall of Fame Award presented by Letatus.
