Tea at Trianon: Pro-Life Leaders Unite

John Wilson Croker on Marie-Antoinette

"We have followed the history of Marie Antoinette with the greatest diligence and scrupulosity. We have lived in those times. We have talked with some of her friends and some of her enemies; we have read, certainly not all, but hundreds of the libels written against her; and we have, in short, examined her life with– if we may be allowed to say so of ourselves– something of the accuracy of contemporaries, the diligence of inquirers, and the impartiality of historians, all combined; and we feel it our duty to declare, in as a solemn a manner as literature admits of, our well-matured opinion that every reproach against the morals of the queen was a gross calumny– that she was, as we have said, one of the purest of human beings."

~from History of the Guillotine by John Wilson Croker, 1844

Edmund Burke on Marie-Antoinette

"It is now sixteen or seventeen years since I saw the queen of France, then dauphiness, at Versailles; and surely there never lighted on this orb, which she hardly seemed to touch, a more delightful vision. I saw her just above the horizon, decorating and cheering the elevated sphere she had just begun to move in, glittering like a morning star full of life and splendor and joy. Oh, what a revolution....Little did I dream that I should have lived to see such disasters fall upon her, in a nation of gallant men, in a nation of men of honor and of cavaliers! I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards, to avenge even a look which threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone; that of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded...."

~Edmund Burke, October 1790

Pro-Life Leaders Unite

From Church Militant:

America's top pro-life advocates gathered forces in a live webinar Thursday night to rally support for David Daleiden, head of Center for Medical Progress (CMP). In the livestream titled "The Abortion Empire Strikes Back," the pro-life investigative journalist was on camera with his legal team to speak about his enormous legal battle. The abortion industry has been targeting Daleiden and the CMP in court owing to their undercover videos exposing the illegal harvesting and sale of aborted babies' body parts. When asked what CMP has in store in the future, Daleiden promised there are "more videos from CMP coming down the pipeline very soon."

"Close to half of the video footage I have gathered still has never seen the light of day," he noted. He added that "the most damning and incriminating tapes" have yet to be released. (Read more.)
