As pro-life people we must love and respect all human life, including those who do not love us in return, and even those who wish us harm. The Gospel reading at today’s Mass for peace was from Matthew in which Jesus tells us, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But … Read More
Huckabee Wants a Human Life Amendment
I didn’t watch the debate last night, but as I was reading through the transcript and this answer from Gov. Huckabee caught my eye: HUCKABEE: I would love to see us have in this country what I helped lead in our state in Arkansas, and that’s a human life amendment to our state constitution, Amendment 65, that says that we … Read More

More Stem Cell Research Whining in MO
I find it amazing that, in a state which guarantees researchers a constitutional right to conduct ESC research and create and destroy human embryos for scientific research, supporters of such research can still find something to complain about. The NY Times ran this article last week about how the cloning amendment passed last year has changed very little in the … Read More
These People Really Are Fooling Themselves
Or, more accurately, they are trying to fool the rest of us: SoCons For Rudy Jay Anderson nailed it: If they were TRULY either social conservatives or pro-lifers, they would NOT support Rudy. They have other priorities completely unrelated to building a culture of life. Visit my Giuliani archive
“A Person is a Person No Matter How Small”
That famous pro-life mantra, adopted from the late Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who, will be heard on the big screen next March (HT: Pro-Life With Christ). It’s a re-write of the original, but I hope they leave that now famous phrase in there! Here is a trailer: You can also watch the original animated version from 1970 on You … Read More

I was also delighted to see that two … Read More
