  • A Long-Time Baby Shredder is about to Have His License Shredded! | The Mark Harrington Show
    Notorious abortionist Martin Haskell is making his last stand.  An Ohio law passed in 2013 requiring abortion clinics to meet minimum ambulatory surgical standards--including the requirement that clinics have transfer agreements with local hospitals--is coming back to bite Haskell!  For years Haskell has been TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A LOOPHOLE in this requirement... UNTIL NOW!  In 2015, we delivered postcards in neighborhoods surrounding his last Ohio abortion facility to expose the physicians enabling him to use the loophole.  This exposure campaign discouraged those physicians and others from helping Haskell to keep his substandard clinic open.  Almost immediately after our campaign, Haskell was unable to find the necessary number of physicians to sign on to this loophole variance agreement.  This Tuesday (April 26th), HASKELL IS MAKING HIS LAST APPEAL to the Ohio Department of Health in a HAIL-MARY ATTEMPT to retain his license.  Created Equal will be in attendance, and will await a decision from the ODH!  Listen to this week's show to hear Mark's predictions and why Mark believes this hearing is a watershed moment for Created Equal's Killers Among Us project and for the pro-life movement at large.
    Additionally, Mark covers Senator Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska), who made headlines last week in DC after his passionate argument against Planned Parenthood's grisly baby parts trade, which outlined StemExpress' parts-selling site.  Their site included a horrific drop-down menu ALLOWING GUESTS TO THE SITE TO SHOP FOR DESIRED BODY PARTS and CHOOSE THE METHOD OF SHIPMENT!  Mark asks some important questions: Are we now living on another planet that we knowingly allow this this to continue?  Where has humanity gone?  Let's prove we're still here on earth, folks.  Look up your local Planned Parenthood and commit to attending  our annual ProtestPP National Day of Planned Parenthood Protest, which takes place on Saturday, April 23rd from 9-11am.  Over 220 cities will be protesting simultaneously!
    Created Equal will be in Cleveland for the Republican National Convention to inform voters of the moral gravity of abortion and the NEED FOR IT TO BE EMPHASIZED PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS!  We do not support or condemn a particular candidate.  We will simply emphasize the importance of the life issue to all voters.  Please RSVP for our Facebook event if you would like to witness with us!

  • Stericycle Prepares Second Restraining Order as CE and Counsel Enjoy Court Victory. | The Mark Harrington Show
    Listen to Mark interview Tom Brejcha--President of The Thomas More Society and lead counsel for Created Equal--about last week's victory in a lawsuit filed by Stericycle against Created Equal's ‪#‎ProjectWeakLink campaign.
     
    The Thomas More Society, a national non-profit law firm, defended a motion to dismiss and was granted a denial of Stericycle's temporary restraining order intended to silence Created Equal's exposure of Stericycle's relationship with Planned Parenthood.  Brejcha and Mark share experiences from their exciting victory in the CIRCUIT COURT OF THE NINETEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT in Lake County, IL last week.
     
    Additionally, Alutto, Stericycle and their team of powerful attorneys are PREPARING FOR THE SECOND ROUND with AN AMENDED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER!  Brejcha is also currently working around the clock to recover David Daleiden's undercover Planned Parenthood tapes, which were seized without cause from his California apartment last week by California authorities. Please pray for Brejcha and his talented team at Thomas More as they defend persecuted pro-life warriors around the country all while preparing for OUR NEXT ROUND with Stericycle!
     
    Mark Harrington said: “We will not be bullied into silence. This failed attempt to bully us only confirms that Stericycle is more interested in doing the dirty work for Planned Parenthood than being a respectable medical waste company. The campaign to expose Stericycle continues.”

  • Lessons Learned from an Oklahoma Abortion Ban (Senate Bill 1118) | The Mark Harrington Show
    Oklahoma Senator Joseph Silk joins Mark to recap a recently failed attempt to pass legislation in his state that would've classified abortion as murder, thereby making it illegal.
    Mark's unique experience in leading a push for an immediate ban in Ohio ("HB 228" as introduced by former Rep. Tom Brinkman) and in leading multiple pushes for the Ohio "Heartbeat Bill" (introduced in 2011, 2012 and 2015) gives him authoritative knowledge on the existing strategic obstacles to passing such legislation.  Mark believes the greatest obstacle to immediate bans is what he calls "legislative judicialism": legislatures choosing not to pass bills because they predict that they won't hold up in court.  This also may have been the case in Oklahoma with Silk's recent legislation--SB 1118--which modeled Ohio's Hearbeat Bill.
    Listen to Mark interview Oklahoma Senator Joseph Silk about his unsuccessful attempt at bringing an immediate ban to abortion in Oklahoma.  Silk--until recently--was investing in incremental legislation, and was convinced it was the most effective way to ultimately bring about an end to abortion.  But when he saw the aggressive opposition an attempt at an Oklahoma immediate ban received from pro-life legislative organizations, he was disillusioned by the plans of the pro-life lobby and became an immediatist.
    Mark believes that immediate abolition at the state level will only succeed if the state's governor and attorney general back the legislation with every atom of their being.  The Federal government will pull out ALL STOPS against state-level defiance to legalized abortion.  State legislatures MUST be willing to resist STRONG OPPOSITION--even the NATIONAL GUARD--if necessary!

  • Trump Should Focus on The REAL Enemy: Abortionists and Their Business Partners! | The Mark Harrington Show
    Though Created Equal does not support or oppose Donald Trump for President, Mark Harrington discusses Donald Trump's statements made to MSNBC's Chris Matthews regarding the punishment if abortion were made illegal.  Trump's position of punishing women who have illegal abortions is generally unrepresentative of most of the anti-abortion movement.  Women who abort their children ALREADY suffer the adverse natural consequences of abortion, and in order to add a legal penalty to these women's lives, we would have to prove a "meeting of the minds" between the abortionist and woman (which rarely exists) among other things that would prove a level of culpability.  Women have never been punished for committing illegal abortions for a variety of reasons, and that would likely be the case if it were banned in the future.  
    Additionally, Created Equal just finished a two-day flyering tour in Lake Forest, Illinois near Chicago, raising awareness of Stericycle and CEO Charles Alutto's involvement in the disposal of the body parts of murdered babies.  
    Also, on April 26th at 10am, late-term abortionist Martin Haskell will be making his last appeal to overturn the Ohio Department of Health's move to close down his Kettering, Ohio center.  Join us in front of the Ohio Department of Health on April 26th to observe the LAST STAND of Haskell, the founder OF THE PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION! METHOD!

  • Anti-Abortion Legislation: Should We Just 'Defy Tyrants,' or Should We Gradually Chip Away?
    In light of recent attempts at abortion bans and personhood initiatives, Mark discusses the “in house” debate within the pro-life movement regarding the strategy for achieving legal protection for the preborn. Mark spearheaded THE FIRST ABORTION BAN ATTEMPT IN US HISTORY in 2006--Ohio House Bill 228--in which he fought Right to Life forces tooth and nail to even get a hearing on the bill. Mark believes we need to be firing on all legislative cylinders and supports gradual measures and complete bans on abortion. Mark’s rationale: We need to save some babies now on the way to saving every baby later.
    Sadly, Mark’s show doesn’t do the subject justice because there is much more that should be said. Neither incrementalists or “all or nothing” activists are likely to be satisfied with the broadcast because of the brevity of the program. The bottom line is that BOTH strategies have positives and negatives, but the use of gradual and strategic legislation has more positives and less negatives. There will be much more to come on this subject in future shows!
