45 New Pro-Life Members Sworn in to The House of Representatives
NATIONAL DAVE ANDRUSKO JAN 4, 2021 | 8:32PM WASHINGTON, DC
Understandably, almost the entirety of the news coming out of yesterday’s swearing in of the Members of the House of Representatives was the very narrow margin by which pro-abortion Nancy Pelosi was chosen once again to be Speaker and some eye-rolling, nonsensically PC-on-steroids verbal idiocies.
Pelosi received only 216 votes–less than a majority of 218—but she prevailed because 216 was a majority of the Members present. “Two members, both Democrats, voted for somebody else and three members—also Democrats—voted present,” Matthew Boyle reported.
Of course, this diminution in support from her caucus will not slow Pelosi in her attempts to pass pro-abortion legislation and eliminate the life-saving Hyde Amendment. If anything, it will make her more determined. This thirst to enlarge the number of aborted babies reminds us yet again of the importance of Republicans maintaining control of the Senate which will be decided by two run-off elections Tuesday in Georgia.
For us, the larger story Sunday was the swearing in to the 117th Congress of many, many new pro-life women and men.
According to National Right to Life, there are 18 new pro-life women. That number would increase to 19 if pro-life challenger Claudia Tenney defeats pro-abortion incumbent Rep. Anthony Brindisi in New York’s 22nd Congressional District. Tenney leads by 29 ballots out of 311,695 cast.
Other good news. There are 27 new pro-life men! Together, that means, if Tenney carries the day, a whopping 14 House seats will have flipped from pro-abortion Democrats to pro-life Republicans. That reality is music to the ears of pro-lifers. “I’m very excited about the new GOP members in the 117th Congress!,” said Karen Cross, NRLC Political Director. “Every one of them is pro-life and will work with us to protect unborn children!”
This massive turnabout was accomplished in the face of an avalanche of pro-abortion money. But resources wisely spent and the faithful efforts of millions of pro-lifers overcame not only the huge money disadvantage but also non-stop media predictions that pro-abortion Democrats would add seats.
New Study Finds Autism Linked to Fetal-contaminated Vaccines

As the incidence of autism has tripled since 2000, the Centers for Disease Control has denied any connections with vaccines, but one researcher says a new study backs up a little-known theory for the vaccine-autism link: that the rise in autism is due not to the use of metals in developing vaccines, but to the use of human fetal cell lines.
Theresa Deisher, the founder of Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute in Seattle, says it’s time for the CDC to wake up and look at all the data linking the autism hike to vaccines, especially Sound Choices new study showing a strong association between child autism and vaccines against chickenpox and Hepatitis A.
“Not only are the human fetal-contaminated vaccines associated with autistic disorder throughout the world, but also with epidemic childhood leukemia and lymphomas,” Deisher declared in a news release.

She added that there are “a large number of publications” linking the HERV retrovirus “with childhood lymphoma,” and that widely-used chickenpox and Hepatitis A vaccines “manufactured with the fetal cell line WI-38 are contaminated with this retrovirus.”
Deisher’s team studied data from the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Western Australia and found that the big increases in the diagnoses of autism started in the early 1990s after the introduction of several vaccines containing human fetal DNA and Respect Life Corner
retroviruses, and again after the expanded use of these vaccines.
Human fetal tissue is used to grow vaccines, says Katie Doan, the lead researcher on the study, because it triggers fewer auto-immune responses in the recipients than animal tissue.
But Doan told LifeSiteNews it is impossible to use fetal DNA without contamination with broken DNA strands, despite efforts at purification. When these are injected into children they can combine with the recipients’ genes to trigger autism, she explained.
Why does the CDC urge calm—or, some would say, complacency? Because it denies any actual increase. Though the CDC reports autism incidence increased from one in 150 American children in 2000 to one in 50 in 2013, they claim that what has grown is awareness, and hence the frequency of its diagnosis, as well as the growth of the diagnosis now called “autism spectrum disorders” (ASD) to include more and more conditions.
This belief is reinforced by a recent Australian synthesis of autism studies around the world showing virtually no increase since 1990. Instead the study states that the increase in ASD diagnoses results from reclassification of behaviors previously associated with mental illness and other conditions. But the Sound Choice study factored out increased awareness by concentrating on one of the narrowest, oldest, and best-known components of ASD called infantile autism, whose criteria have remain unchanged. It also addressed another prominent explanation for the increase in autism diagnoses, which does accept that autism itself is really on the rise, but attributes it to the increasing age of fathers (and therefore the increasing incidence of defective DNA in offspring).
But the data on aging paternity does not match the increase in autism, whereas the increase in fetal-DNA contaminated vaccines does.
Autism is caused by a combination of factors, with about half comprising genetic defects either generated during development of the unborn child or inherited from parents, including auto-immune deficiencies and mutations.
While the CDC rejects any link between vaccines and autism, late last month one of its scientists admitted that in 2004 a CDC research team deliberately omitted data from a study indicating just such a link. Senior epidemiologist William Thompson admitted data showing a correlation between the MMR vaccine and autism was deliberately left out of the study. “I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information,” he said.
But the CDC does no research on any autism-vaccine link and according to Doan has lately ceased reporting annual vaccination numbers that would enable further research. “The CDC has known for decades about the dangers of insertional mutagenesis by using fetal cell lines and yet they chose to ignore it,” asserted Deisher. “These discoveries should generate an immediate investigation by [Federal Drug Administration] officials if not an outright ban on the use of fetal cell lines as subtrates for vaccine production.”
Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute is a non-profit arm of Dr. Deisher’s AVM Biotech, which develops products and methods to improve the effectiveness of adult stem cell treatments, in conformity with Catholic moral teaching.
If you haven’t already done it, I highly recommend going to www.lifenews.com and signing up to get the weekly snippets of “respect for life” news. I have found this to be a very good way to stay current on pro-life legislation and news.
Rose Sale
The Squires will be conducting the “Rose Drive” on the weekends of January 9th/10th and 16th/17th. The proceeds will be used to support future Squires pro-life projects instead of the 2021 “March for Life” bus trip to Washington, DC..
Baby Bottle Boomerang
The “Baby Bottle Project” will begin by passing baby bottles out the weekend of January 23rd/24th with collections the weekend of February 6th/7th. The proceeds will benefit Pregnancy Resource Centers. (Care Net, Birth Haven, Several Sources, Lighthouse PRC’s)
Right to Life March on Washington
The 48th March for Life in Washington is scheduled for January 29th. Given the current COVID situation and that it would require over 10 hours for a round trip on/in a bus, we will not be participating in the “2021 March for Life.”
