After adding the first video by Gianna to this page, I received great feedback and thought you might like to hear about her encounter with her mom -- in the video above.

Prayers are being sent from all over the world for this little boy; as people open their hearts to this victim of a senseless crime. The parents say they believe in prayer and beg everyone to pray for their helpless son -- in the video, the father cries that he loves his son so much and cannot think of living without him. He says only prayers for a miracle can help him .
Dr. Janet Smith - Discusses Why Men May be Less Attracted to Women on the Pill!!!!
(Saw a 2 hour TV program which confirmed this. In a human experiment men suddenly became more attracted to women they had rejected when the same women were in ovulating. Looking for more info. If you have any, please share.)
She starts out talking about experiments with male monkeys and how their normal high attractions toward female monkeys dwindles to near nothing when the same females are given contraceptives; some of them even started showing a preference for male monkeys.
What experiments like this may be telling us is something we instinctively know -- that deep "attraction" to females is not necessarily because of the beauty or sex appeal of the female (as cosmetic advertisers would have us think), but is really about the presence of natural (real) hormones or fertility. Contraceptives deliver synthetic hormones which do not trigger other necessary body chemistries -- such as a sense of "well being", confidence, energy, etc. which also make a woman more appealing.
This could also explain why the increase in certain variant male behaviors map to increases in females taking the pill -- such as pornography (a healthy young man should not need this to become aroused unless there is something missing in the chemistries). Hear the audio -- with an open mind. The research in this area is still new. More to come!

36 ANNUAL MARCH FOR LIFE, Jan, 2009. Washington D.C.!
This is an annual march to protest abortion and protect human life from conception to natural death. Take a look at some of the exciting videos.
These last videos were generated by random groups of young people who represent a growing trend in America, the U.K., and other parts of the world -- of young people who see abortion as today's "holocaust". They put God and humans first, and economic growth second. Those in better universities and especially economics programs are also winning notice. They are going the distance to research how we can increase a country's streams of revenue and overall economy by protecting human life. With God's help, they will find the ways, reconcile the two philosophies (of freedom and population control), and pave the way for peace in our world.
NEW: The Soloist. Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. are terrific in this true story about Nathaniel Ayers, a former violin prodigy whose bouts with schizophrenia landed him on the streets after two years of schooling at Juilliard. Steve Lopez (Robert Downey, Jr.) is a disenchanted journalist stuck in a dead-end job. Steve is wandering through Los Angeles' Skid Row when he notices a bedraggled figure playing a two-stringed violin. The figure in question is Ayers (Jamie Foxx), a man whose promising career in music was cut short due to a debilitating bout with mental illness. The more Lopez learns about Ayers, the greater his respect grows for the troubled soul. This is a heart warming movie.
Scrooged. Bill Murray is at his comic best here. Scrooged is director Richard Donner's contemporary take on Charles Dickens's classic tale "A Christmas Caro." -- which has been read and shown for over 150+ years and is an accepted part of American literature. This 1988 version, is the latest of many.
Like all others, it describes the need for mankind to not be so selfish. By three ghostly apparitions over a 24-hour period, an old miser is shown the error of his ways.
A Christmas Carol. This is an older version, 1984, considered one of the best.. You might enjoy seeing it too and contrasting it with Scrooged. It follows the original story by Charles Dickens very closely. In this version, George C. Scott captures the old miser very well That is, the meanness of him, but with a trace of sadness that makes us hope that the three ghosts who visit him will be successful in showing him the error of his selfish ways and prompt him to change.
Padre Pio, Man of God....This movie is an incredible documentary. It includes interviews with those who knew him. Many people, Catholics and non-Catholics are amazed at the soul readings, healings and prophecies this discerning but very humble Friar did and the crowds of thousands of people he regularly attracted. He always said is was grace from God. The most dramatic sign of his special grace was the stigmata. Read about this very sacred life. Obtain this at www.janson.com IsBN# 1-5656839-075-0
The Ultimate Gift....This winner includes Academy Award nominees Abigail Breslin and James Garner, and Brian Dennedhy -- in an engaging story about a young man of privilege who receives a very unusual inheritance of 12 tasks, call gifts that lead him to discover the real meaning of "wealth".

Bella...See adoption in a new light. "The Bella films leading man, actor/producer Eduardo Versastegui, spoke at the White House...saying: 'Families have changed their lives forever after adopting a child . Because it's not only that a family can give a child a home, but they themselves would have the gift of motherhood and fatherhood. So in adoption...everybody wins' To view the article and video of Eduardo

The Inn of the SIXTH Happiness....This is a 1958 favorite American movie with a favorite actresss -- Ingrid Bergman. An English missionary makes her way to China and there wins the respect of the local mandarin, but the greatest accomplishment is leading 100 homeless children to safety across enemy-held terrain. This is adapted from the novel "The small Woman" and isa true-life story of Gladyse Aylward -- very inspiring from beginning to end!
Juno....Juno is a whip-smart teen confronting an unplanned pregnancy by her classmate Bleeker. With the help of her hot best friend Leah, Juno finds her unborn child a "perfect" set of parents: an affluent suburban couple, Mark and Vanessa, longing to adopt. Luckily, Juno has the total support of her parents as she faces some tough decisions, flirts with adulthood and ultimately figures out where she belongs.
God Grew Tired of Us.....A moving documentary narrated by Nicole Kidman, explores the impressive spirit of thousands of "Lost Boys" from Sudan who are forced to journey from their homeland due to a tumultuous civil war. In this movie, we track three of them who were helped to get to America. The movie shows their triumph over many obstacles as they try to build active and fulfilling lives for themselves. It is "impressive" because they do not let anything stop them from becoming what God wants for them or behaving in ways that God would want them to.
Amazing Grace.....This is an inspiring story of how one man's passion and perseverance changed the world. Based on the true story of William Wilberforce (played by Joan Gruffudd), it follows his courageous quest to end the British slave trade. Along the way, he meets repeated oppositions from Parliament but sees the cause through to victory. This film is called a "Sweeping Epic!"
The Mighty....This is an inspiring story for teens, young adults and people of all ages with young hearts. It is about a disabled boy who makes the best of his circumstances to live a rich life and inspire others. It is an older movie but the message is ageless. Actors/actresses include Sharon Stone and Kieran Culkin. It was produced by Jane Startz, Simon Fields, and won best film editing, best art direction, best costume, and best original dramatic score as well as best actor and actress. ,
Key News Flashes
In the Media Section (above right), we have an audio by Eileen Smith who shares her great distress over her daughter Laura's death during an abortion. Eileen also did allot of work to bring the abortionist and that clinic to justice. You can read about it below. It is so sad that Eileen's beautiful daughter, Laura, was a victim of the carelessness and risky medical practices of this clinic. Let's applaud Eileen for the work she did.
It is abominable that this is not unusual. Here in America, as in other countries, there is a lack of governmental regulations and enforcement. This means that the medical practices and personnel of these clinics, and hospitals, are not monitored closely, if at all. Because of this, women who go for or are forced to have abortions
are at as much risk today-- as they were before abortion became legal.
(See a doctor's testimonies on this on the abortion page.)
Those of you in other countries who are visiting this site, take heed. It is not true that just by making something legal it becomes safe. Full suites of government regulations must be put in place, and they must be enforced -- with harsh penalties for non-compliance (just as is done in the banking or computer industries). This is generally not done, because it is too costly in terms of money and manpower. Do not be fooled by the global abortion-contraceptive industryand the governments and officials they fund. Unfortunately, most Pro-choice Americans (including young women and their friends, parents, boyfriends or husbands) have been fooled into a false sense of safety as well as moral correctness.
To stay informed on this, you all may want to periodically read the regular news posts on this at Operation Rescue .
Massachusetts, USA, Grand Jury Indictment Against Abortionist In Patient's Death http://www.operationrescue.org/
July 16th, 2008
Details of efforts to cover up aspects of Laura Smith's death were exposed by the grand jury investigation.
Hyannis, MA - A Barnstable County Grand Jury issued an indictment today against abortionist Rapin Osathanondh for Involuntary Manslaughter in the death of 22-year old Laura Hope Smith. According to Smith's mother, Eileen, efforts to cover up details of her daughter's death came to light during the grand jury investigation.
Mrs. Smith told Operation Rescue that a Sheriff's Deputy in another county had provided Osathanondh and his abortion clinic staff with CPR training, then backdated the session to a date prior to Laura's death, with the full knowledge that someone had recently died at the clinic. Osathanondh and his staff had been uncertified in CPR until that time.
"I'm appalled that an officer of the law would be involved in that," Eileen Smith told Operation Rescue. "Thank God this has been exposed!"
Mrs. Smith has filed a complaint in Bristol County against the deputy.
Laura Smith had sought an abortion from Osathanondh on September 13, 2007, at his office, Women's Health Center, in the Cape Cod town of Hyannis. Smith was placed under full anesthesia when only Osathanondh and a non-medical receptionist(not a nurse) were present. When Smith suddenly stopped breathing, the receptionist phoned 911, but it was too late. Smith died later that day.
Five months later, in response to a complaint filed by Eileen Smith, Osathanondh relinquished his medical license to the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine in the wake of pending disciplinary action and a criminal investigation. Osathanondh's two abortion offices were closed.
"We are gratified that Osathanondh will have to account for Laura's death in a court of law. It is not enough that he can no longer practice medicine. He must be held legally responsible for his crimes that resulted in the death of this young woman," said Operation Rescue spokesperson Cheryl Sullenger. "Only then can we say that some small measure of justice has been served."
"As for those who attempted to help Osathanondh cover up for his shocking lack of emergency training, we share Eileen's dismay that someone involved in law enforcement would lie to provide the abortionist cover," said Sullenger. "That is completely unacceptable behavior and that person should be fired immediately."
Operation Rescue was the first to break the news of Laura's death, and worked with Eileen to help bring Osathanondh to justice.
FYI: Introducing the Creighton Model
FertilityCare System
for Women and Couples!
We would like to introduce you to the "all natural" Creighton Model, FertilityCare systemfor thefull spectrum of women’s health issues, to assist women and couples to maintain their fertility throughout all stages of their reproductive lives, and manage pregnancies.
This wonderful system of care was advanced by Dr. Hilgers from 1976, and is based on technologies and scientific research that had been going on quietly in the background since the 1920's. Good doctors and scientists devoted their lives to contribute to it. Its goal has always been to give you a natural way to do family planning. Scientists worked especially hard after the 1930's when contraceptives were approved for use by most religions. Their motivation was the awareness of the medical risks contraceptives would introduce and their respect for women. Later, their repository of science and technology, was expanded by Dr. Hilgers to treat the full spectrum of female problems. Today many doctors are trained in it, but it is not well publicized. The medical profession, especially here in the US, is as you know very slow to incorporate a new technology and embrace it, even if it is backed by numerous studies/trials and is superior. For example, twenty years before hospitals started giving low-cholesterol menus to heart patients, research institutes had been publishing papers prescribing such diets.
Currently, there are hundreds of trained doctors and practitioners in the US who are trained in. Doctors and patients are seeking it because of the benefits it delivers. Here are some http://www.fertilitycare.org/teacher.htm
Benefits are many:
All “Natural” method of female care – no side effects
Low-cost system of fertility care – from monitoring to birth
Validated 80-85% success rate for infertility cures (vs. 30-35% for IVF).
High reliability pregnancy postponement (competitive 98.7-99.9% method effectiveness)*
Nationally standardized charting-diagnostic tools
Sophisticated techniques for early pre-cancer detection
Integrated multi-discipline techniques quickly address “causes” & the “whole person”
Treatments are more versatile and effective because they respect the fact that each woman's menstrual cycle is very unique. This means that treatments must be coordinated with the woman's own cycle. For example, introducing progesterone at a time when a woman's body is in heavy production of estrogen would be detrimental as well as ineffective.
1) doctors use all-natural treatments that are in sync with the woman's own cycle
2) doctors are trained in a licensed in methodologies that tap the latest in reproductive science -- developed from the 1976 to present -- that have not yet found their way into most medical training programs. Medical schools are very advanced in much of their teaching, but in the reproductive area, they still include methods developed prior to the 1970's that do not allow for the variances in woman's menstrual cycles.
3) doctor's practitioners work closely with patients to help them observe and record characteristics of their individual menstrual cycles on a daily basis for several months. Doctor will then use these inputs plus typical testing techniques to analyze conditions and prescribe treatments. There is no "one size fits all" mentality here.
4) doctors, practitioners and patients bond as they work together to help the patient. It is an ongoing process that helps women will all types of problems as well as to successfully plan a pregnancy or postpone a pregnancy. Doctors who offer this technology enjoy overflowing practices. Women readily refer other women.
Without specific and personal patient feedback, traditional doctors are forced to apply generic solutions, prescribe the pill for many things such as excessive bleeding or cramps, or treat symptoms rather than causes. While these treatments may help symptoms, they often mask the real causes of problems. An example is the way doctors help women who are infertile to have children by doing IVF -- which is only 35% effective, expensive and inconvenient -- while the infertile condition is allowed to remain untreated and to get worse or become permanent. Another example is the common practice of giving the pill for many female problems, but it uses "artificial" hormones which may treat the symptoms but again leave the cause untreated, do not integrate well with other normal bodily processes, can introduce other problems, and may be less reliable. Note: for information on variables that make the pill less reliable -- see thebirth control page..
The table below gives you a list of some of the female problems that FertilityCare doctors can address. Often the doctor will diagnose them before a woman has symptoms or realizes she has a problem. PMS is a good example. Many women who suffer symptoms of it, such as depression, think it is normal "for them" and do not report it to doctors. But, these doctors can detect it, tell a woman she has it, and treat it.

Our volunteer organization and partners are making a big push to introduce this technology to doctors and nurses in the Tri-State area, RI and PA, to more effectively help women throughout their lives.
We had a seminar on Jan 17 which was very successful. The doctors and nurses who came were enthusiastic and energized, and invited us to present to other groups or in other states as far as S. Carolina.
The seminar gave enough information about this technology to make a decision whether or not to take training in it and obtain a license. The instructors were Dr. Scanlon, who is an OB/GYN (listed below, who is also known globally for his frequent visits to Africa to bring American technologies to them), and Dr. Watson, a family doctor (listed below, who has been teaching about this technology for many years ). The agenda included a presentation by a practitioner couple, who will relay the patient point of view and why patients prefer this methodology -- for its effectiveness and ongoing monitoring, attention and caring (the monitoring is found to be necessary when woman's mentrual cycles change frequently). As for couples, they report it enhances their marital relationship because they too learn about the variances in a woman's menstrual cycle and come to understand how it affects the wife physically and psychologically. With this understanding, they have the choice to adjust their expectations accordingly. Husbands report how astonished they are with their new knowledge of their wife's reproductive system and how it integrates with all of her other systems -- they say they have a new respect for women and love of God.

A Current List of FertilityCare Doctors
in the USA
Tri-State Area & Massachusetts
Below are doctors in the Tri-state area and Massachusetts that practice FertilyCare:
Dr. Judy Mascolo
Is known and referred to by all the pregnancy centers listed on this site. She has been actively working to introduce Natural Family Planning to communities and medical professionals, and has participated in legislative hearings to testify to the damages of contraceptives and abortion. If you need a Pro-life OB/GYN, she will refer you.
Dr. Leonie Watson
Is In Mountainside, New Jersey which is very close to CT. Dr. Watson has been a leader in this type of female counseling and treatments for over ten years and is our speaker at seminars. She readily points out the damage that contraceptives do to females (aside from the STDs) and how they can quickly destroy emotional intimacy in marriages. If you need a Pro-life OB/GYN, she will refer you.
Dr. Paul Carpentier Has won a special award, "The Outstanding Medical Consultant in Natural Family Planning" award which is given to only five doctors in the world. Dr. Carpentier practices FertilityCare and welcomes discriminating patients who prefer an all-natural system -- 1) to diagnose and treat the full range of female problems and 2) for family planning. He is also a part-time faculty member for the Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction in Omaha where the NaProTECHNOLOGY was developed..
Dr. Robert Scanlon Is theonly OB/GYN trained in the natural Creighton Model, FertilityCare system at this time in the Tri-State area. Like Dr. Watson, he speaks out about how the Creighton Model FertilityCare techniques can help cure what most doctors consider to be chronic conditions such as repeated miscarriages or ongoing infertility. Traditional medicine is less effective in the treatment of female problems because it generally fixes symptoms rather than addressing the causes of problems, as when contraceptives are given to treat cramps or extensive bleeding. Contraceptives also introduce risks because they use artificial hormones.
Dr. James Samuel
His practice is centrally located in CT for CT females and immediately off Route 95 for those of you coming from out of state. Dr. Samuel is one of the best internists in the area and ready to support those of you who are seeking a Pro-life doctor.
The wonderful things about these doctors is their courage to expand their practices into new medical arenas, their dedication, and their accessibility. Each of them will be happy to talk with you, and there is nothing you cannot share. In them, you have a friend.
