Found this interesting little video via: Stop the ACLU It is part 2 of a (so far) 3 part series (parts 1 and 3 deal with marriage and gun control). By the end of part 3 a rebellion is rising among grassroots conservative bases all over the country…
It’s About the Killing, Stupid?
On my last post about politicians insisting on funding ESC research despite the recent advancements in ASC research rendering it virtually unnecessary, Paul commented that: It’s all about the killing. Always was. That reminded me of a recent column in the Chicago Tribune by John Kass, Abortion at the heart of Stem Cell Research: Though I can’t begin to explain … Read More
People With Disabilities Can Live “Normal” Lives
What is “normal” after all?? H/T: Cause of our Joy Check out this new movie, Mr. Blue Sky. From it’s website: Mr. Blue Sky is a ground-breaking film that explores the romantic relationship of a woman born with Down syndrome and a “normal” male, as perceived by today’s society.

Love the Suffering
My post yesterday, and further reflection on the movie Bella, got me thinking about the importance of loving those who are suffering. How do we know the love of Christ on earth except through the love of others? Owe nothing to anyone, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You … Read More
Praying for All Souls
Today we remember and pray for all the souls who have died with the hope of rising again, and that includes the victims of the culture of death. I love this post by Annie from After Abortion: On All Souls’ Day, another priest spoke directly to mothers who have lost their babies before baptism and said, “If we are to … Read More
Blunt’s Task Force
I’ve been giving Gov. Blunt a pretty hard time lately, not that he doesn’t deserve it – with his unwavering support for human cloning research. But I suppose I should give him credit when he stands on the right side of life issues. He is consistently anti-abortion and has done some good things in that area as Governor. Now he … Read More
Evidence: Contraception is NOT the Answer
I did not get to watch the Fox documentary, Facing Reality: Choice, about three women and their unexpected pregnancies, but Jill Stanek did some live blogging while it aired. According to Jill, Kayla, the college co-ed, was on birth control – though she was sloppy with taking it. Thus, Fox cameras were present for her second abortion. Not surprisingly, when … Read More
Reclaiming the Truth and Meaning of Human Sexuality
Regarding the WHO abortion study that I mentioned in Wednesday’s post another conclusion that many come to upon seeing the numbers of abortions carried out world wide is that something must be done to prevent so many “unwanted pregnancies” in the first place. Now that is a rational conclusion. What is irrational, however, is the promotion of contraception as a … Read More
Crunching Abortion Numbers
For the past few weeks news outlets and the blogosphere have been buzzing about the new world wide abortion study from the World Health Organization and the Guttmacher Institute. Most of the numbers are “lost in ideological fog” as Deirdre McQuade puts it, but that doesn’t stop people from reporting and commenting on what these abortion numbers mean. For the … Read More
Fox to Air Abortion Documentary
“Facing Reality, Choice,” will air Saturday, Oct. 27, at 9 p.m. ET on FOX News Channel. It profiles three women and their “agonizing decisions to have their babies or terminate their pregnancies.” I’m not quite sure how this will effect, or add to, the abortion debate as a whole. It will be a purely emotional look at why each woman … Read More
