Michael Gerson tackles this question today in the Washington Post. In early debates and statements, he has set out his views on this topic with all the order and symmetry of a freeway pileup. His argument comes down to this: “I hate abortion,” which is “morally wrong.” But “people ultimately have to make that choice. If a woman chooses that, … Read More
Was There a Winner Last Night?
Unfortunately I did sit through last night’s Republican presidential debate on Fox News and if there was a winner I sure couldn’t tell. I hate to say it, but I was pretty uninspired by most of the answers on all issues. I loved Sam Brownback’s answer when he was asked what he would say to a rape victim who found … Read More
SMILE! Your Mom Chose Life!
This Mother’s Day be sure to thank your mother, among other things, for choosing to give you the gift of life – especially if you were born in or after 1973! Thanks, mom, for life! These babies are VERY happy their moms chose life:
Dedication
The following video is a breath of fresh air in light of the recent news stories about parents who want to screen their embryos in order to weed out those who might be born with some disability, disease or other undesirable trait.

Cancer Free Children?
In the UK, two couples, whose families have a history of breast cancer, will be the first to be assured that the children they have will never suffer from the ravages of that disease. This is because, after creating embryos through IVF, they will have each embryo tested for a defective BRCA1 gene, which raises the risk of cancer in … Read More
Bush to Veto Any Anti-Life Legislation

President Bush has sent a letter to the Democrat heads of Congress vowing to veto any legislation that “weakens current Federal policies and laws on … Read More
Our Mother Surely is Weeping Today
MEXICO’s capital has legalised abortion, defying the Church but delighting pro-choice advocates in the world’s second-largest Roman Catholic country. Mexico City politicians voted 46 to 19 to pass a leftist-sponsored bill allowing women to abort in the first three months of pregnancy. Yes, Our Lady, who once came to this city to save her Mexican children, most certainly is in … Read More
Pro-Life T-Shirt Day
Yes, today was National Pro-Life T-Shirt Day and I didn’t get my shirt in the mail until I got off work this afternoon! I hope some of you were able to participate. I know that a few of our local Catholic schools did – not about any of the kids at the public schools. In case you haven’t looked at … Read More
Parents of Former Frozen Embryo Speak Out Against ESCR
This is why IVF gives me the willies. Erin is a former frozen embryo who was adopted by Tim and Dawn Smith after being conceived in a petri dish and left frozen on a shelf for 11 years because her biological parents didn’t want her. Now her adoptive parents are speaking out against embryonic stem cell research in their state. … Read More
America’s “Moral Free Fall”
I just found this video via Human Life International. It is from the CBS Evening News’ “Free Speech” segment. In it, Father of Columbine victim, Brian Rohrbough, responds to the shooting of the Amish school children last year and explains how these school shootings are a direct result of America’s moral freefall and the devaluation of human life. In light … Read More
