Neverborn / How Soon Is Now?

Neverborn as Morrissey, performing in the womb before an audience of ecstatic red and white blood cells. I substituted the word anybody for everybody from the lyric of How Soon Is Now? just because it looked a little better in the cartoon.

Neverborn Comes Alive

Had a lot of fun unveiling Neverborn on Tuesday at the Mall of America. Born with the help of a balloon and a number of cans of foam insulation, the character went over very well with the masses of surprised but amused wandering shoppers. He even scored a few free chocolates from the Godiva store across the way!

Neverborn is available for a free, pro-life presentation in the Twin Cities area, and also to points further for those churches/organizations able to cover expenses for travel and lodging. Please contact me at danlacey @ faithmouse (dot) com for more information.

Faithmouse at Mall of America

The reason I haven't posted much work in the past few weeks-I've opened a small store at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota (America's largest indoor shopping mall) called Affordable Oil Portraits. You can find me between Godiva Chocolates and The Mighty Axe.

Come down, say hi!

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed - Wikipedia

A form given to the Guantanamo detainees in late August and early September allowed them to request that the American Civil Liberties Union find them a lawyer, at no charge, to assist them in challenging the determination that they are enemy combatants... At least four of the detainees already have requested attorneys, according to people familiar with the process...

Strangers Pray For Youssif At Beach

Yes, I know-no new work posted in three days. I'm busily drawing, though.

In the meantime, a very worthwhile story-

Strangers pray for Youssif at beach -CNN

I've earned a return link from CNN (under 'From the Blogs') without having posted an accompanying cartoon concerning the actual story at hand-just part of a rework of the 'previously previewed' Well Water cartoon.

Well, now I feel guilty.

N.J. High Court: Doctors Need Not Tell Pregnant Patients 'Abortion Kills' - The Christian Post

The result of the New Jersey supreme court ruling cited in the cartoon above is that it's 'value-laden' and a 'non-medical moral judgment' to require a doctor to tell a patient that fetuses develop into human beings; that it would be a 'speech' to state what a woman must already understand, that abortion irrevocably ends a human life.

Faith's impulsive sister Taint becomes a little more than insulted here that the abortionist doesn't have the integrity to confess the obvious. She's getting an abortion, and he wants to pretend it could as well be a gallbladder. That's the game, and Taint hates games.

Let's imagine a similar medical situation-

Mother-"Doctor, I'm eight months pregnant. How's my baby?"

Doctor-"I have no idea if you have a baby in there or not, and I'm not required by law to give you that information."

Mother-"If it's not a baby, what is it?"

Doctor-"Beats me."

Only in a situation where someone is purposefully killing someone could it be legally verboten to be required to say what's actually going on. Medical personnel must tell you by law if they are sharing your dental x-rays with researchers developing tuna-flavored floss, but that the decision you're making this afternoon will halt a human life...why, what manner of anti-free-speech jackbooted thug are you?

Doctor-"Don't mind me, I'm just going to unplug your grandmother's clakkety-clak machine here."

Daughter- But, won't that kill her?"

Doctor-"Sorry, I'm not required to make those sort of value-laden judgments. I have my rights, you know!"

And so on.

I've read in a few forums (and it seems to be an unfortunate consensus) that a woman should already know what's happening when she has an abortion; she doesn't need to be reminded of the fact. In other words, a woman who needs to be told this must be dumb.

Woman-"Doctor, I'd like you to saw off my legs. Please don't tell me that I won't be able to walk."

Doctor-"But, you won't be able to walk."

Woman-"Got you, you value-laden bible-thumper!"

I have yet to see a study of any kind which shows that most women post-abortion don't suffer from depression and regret. And yet, the ACLU isn't championing the free speech rights of tobacco companies and demanding that they not be required to remind purchasers that smoking causes cancer-even though that must be obvious to all by now.

You tell me, unless of course you're an abortionist and not legally required to say.

Thanks to Young Dead Elms for the plug and post of a few days ago of my Shepherd Of The Snows pencil drawing.
