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:
Congratulations Dr. Onder!
A good friend of mine, Rep. Bob Onder, was approved yesterday to serve on the Life Sciences Research Board here in Missouri. I just found out yesterday, as I was listening to the Senate floor debate at work, that he was even nominated. Dr. Onder is a new edition to the MO House of Representatives and a great friend for … Read More
Wonderful Pro-Life Tools!
The National Geographic Society recently released a brilliant book, In the Womb, depicting the wonder of fetal development with the help of some 3-D and 4-D ultrasound images. From the website: In the Womb is a week-by-week chronicle of the mysterious, magical progress from embryo to fetus to full-term infant. It was released sometime last year, but this is the … Read More
Standing Up For the Most Vulnerable
I love this editorial by a student from the University of Minnesota. He writes in the University newspaper against the practice of embryonic stem cell research at the University’s Stem Cell Institute and against a measure in his state’s legislature to protect the cloning and destruction of human embryos while pretending to ban cloning. Morally, embryo-destructive research turns justice on … Read More
MO Supreme Court Protects Children, Families
At least some good pro-life news is coming from my state. The state Supreme Court upheld the law that says “no person shall intentionally cause, aid, or assist a minor to obtain an abortion without the consent” of a parent or court. It also gives parents the ability to take legal action against those who break the law. It only … Read More
HJR 11 Defeated in Rules
This evening the Rules Committee voted on HJR 11, the resolution to give Missouri voters a chance to really ban human cloning. The vote was 4-3 against, effectively ending any chance of getting the resolution through the legislature. One of the representatives who voted no represents a district that voted against amendment 2 by over 60% – not much of … Read More
NFP vs. Contraception
Alright, I am getting really behind here. The second and third installments of Fr. Euteneuer’s mini catechesis on contraception are out. This second topic addresses the misconception that natural family planning is just “Church approved birth control.” The third topic regards the myth of overpopulation. A few words on NFP and contraception. First, it is important to remember that for … 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
Can’t Trust Rudy
Man, I’m really picking on this guy, huh? I might not spend so much time on this if it wasn’t so important. Please check out Jay Anderson’s post at Pro Ecclesia on Giuliani’s partial birth abortion stance (I think if I tried to do my own post on this I’d just end up copying the same thing). It is worth … Read More
Justice for the Unborn
In a 5-4 ruling, Chief Justice John Robers joined Justices Anthony Kennedy, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia in upholding the ban on the barbaric partial birth abortion procedure. God bless them all! A daily prayer for the Supreme Court: “May the Guardian Angels of the U.S. Supreme Court Justices guide them today.” PBA Information: Partial Birth Abortion Ban … Read More
