Cathy Ruse takes on the KC Star and the St. Louis Post for their biased reporting about cloning and their defense of Secretary of State, Robin Carnahan’s disastrous and inaccurate ballot summary of the cloning ban. Wesley Smith does the same, offering some scientific and medical sources which all say SCNT is cloning. We can’t really expect much in the … Read More
More on Gov. Blunt
Update: The St. Louis Post has more on Blunt’s and other’s campaign contributions. A lot of it has to do with the restrictions put in place this year on the amount that can be donated (which I think is stupid). In the article, regarding the contribution to Blunt’s campaign from the pro-ESC research group: Blunt spokesman John Hancock said the … Read More
Blunt Gets $250K from ESC Research Supporters
The St. Louis Post reports that Republican Gov. Matt Blunt received $250,000 this summer from the Supporters of Health Research and Treatments. That’s one of the political-action committees set up by supporters of Amendment 2, and Missouri Pulse reports that Blunt has raised just over $1 million in the last quarter. So the pro-ESC research donation accounts for 1/4 of … Read More
NARAL For Rudy?
Not quite yet. But, in an interview with the Huffington Post, the abortion rights group’s political director, Elizabeth Shipp said that it: “would help” the pro-choice movement if a Republican proved it was possible to win the presidency while still supporting abortion rights. “The Republican Party used to be about the conservative principles of limited government intervention in private life,” … Read More
“Missouri Manipulation”
Cathy Ruse writes at National Review about the disastrous ballot language approved by the Secretary of State yesterday for an attempt to ban cloning in Missouri: The only way to keep human cloning legal in Missouri is through lies. And Secretary Carnahan has just dropped a whopper. Isn’t that the truth? Even Bill McClellan of the St. Louis Dispatch, a … Read More
Response from Missouri Right to Life
Attributed to president Pam Fichter from MRL’s press release today: “Missouri Right to Life is outraged at the Secretary of State’s blatantly inaccurate and biased summary of the Cures Without Cloning ballot initiative. The ballot summary is profoundly different than the proposed amendment. Secretary Carnahan is greatly abusing the powers of her office and ignoring the legal requirement to use … Read More
Disgraceful Ballot Language Approved
I just got word today that the Secretary of State has approved the ballot title and language for the Cures Without Cloning initiative and it is an absolute disgrace: Constitutional Amendment to Add Article III, Section 38(e), Relating to Limiting Stem Cell Research, 2008-014 [full text] Submitted by: Lori Buffa, M.D. Contact Information: Lori Buffa, M.D. Cures Without Cloning P.O. … Read More
I Never Thought of it This Way!
Thank you Jivin Jehohaphat! In light of one blogger’s football analogy for the 2008 election and the possibility of a Hillary/Giuliani race (in favor of electing Giuliani), Jivin J offered one of his own. It’s 4th and goal from the 35 yard line and we’re down by 4 points. Our chances of scoring a touchdown (electing a prolife third party … Read More
I Can’t Wait to See Him Debate
I found this video via Catholic Tube, of Alan Keyes debating Barack Obama in 2006: Golly, he just explains it so well! FYI there will be a Republican debate on CNN November 28. CNN is partnering with YouTube on this debate, so people can submit video questions to be aired and answered during the debate.
The Great Giuliani Divide
Almost a week has gone by since pro-life leaders vowed third party support in the event of a Giuliani nomination and the fires are still burning on both sides of the Giuliani divide. I’m sick of this whole thing already. The way I see it, much of this infighting can be avoided if we would take a break and focus … Read More
