George Will has a column this week about the latest announcement from American and Canadian OB-GYNs that all pregnant women have their unborn child screened for Down syndrome. Will’s son, Jon, was born with Down syndrome over 30 years ago. His column examines what he calls a “search and destroy mission” to rid the world of people living with Down … Read More
Giuliani Presided Over Declining Abortion Numbers
Deroy Murdock has a critique of former mayor, Rudy Giuliani’s abortion position. Apparently during his time as mayor of New York City decreased by a little over 16%, which was slightly more than the national average of the same time period. Murdock suggests that this occurred because, while Giuliani has claimed to support a woman’s right to choose, even suggesting … Read More
All Life is Sacred
Today is the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. There is so much that I would like to say, but I have a very busy day today. But I did not want to leave you empty handed all day. Some appropriate reading today would be Humanae Vitae, Pope Paul VI and Evangelium Vitae by JPII. Both are wonderful encyclicals that reflect … Read More
Rudy Giuliani
As a pro-life ‘conservative’ I consider myself Republican because the pary declares on its platform that the right to life of the unborn must be protected. So I am a little concerned about the person who many consider one of the Republican front runners. Rudy Giuliani is very popular and a proven leader, mostly thanks to his wonderful performance as … Read More
Lives Not Worth Living, Take II
It seems that both American and Canadian OB-GYN doctors have agreed that all pregnant women not just those over 35, should screen for Down Syndrome. On the outside this seems reasonable, I mean many women already find out whether their child is male or female prior to birth, so what’s wrong with testing to see if that child will also … Read More
‘Personhood’ to be Defined in Georgia
A big thanks to my Uncle in Georgia for pointing this out to me. There is a bill proposed in the Georgia state legislature that declares that “a fetus is a person for all purposes under the laws of this state from the moment of conception” and consequently bans all abortions. HB 1, authored by State Rep. Bobby Franklin is … Read More
Updated ‘Boycott’ List
Life Decisions International has updated their list of companies that give money to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider. I must admit that I am not very good at keeping up with these things and ‘boycotting’ the appropriate companies and charitable organizations. As a friend of mine pointed out to me, it’s almost impossible to avoid some of these … Read More
Excellence in Broadcasting
Rush Limbaugh had some great commentary today on the politics of embryonic stem cell research. He spoke specifically about the left who support ESC research and their unwillingness to accept research that does not require the killing of innocent human life. As expected they are blowing off the recent report of amniotic fluid stem cells as irrelevant to the ESC … Read More
NY Times Update
Last week I told you about the hit piece the NY Times did on the abortion laws in El Salvador and the fact that the entire article was based on false information. The article claimed that Carmen Climaco was sentenced to 30 years for having an illegal abortion when she was actually convicted of strangling her newborn infant. Well, this … Read More
Women Deserve Better
Well, Nancy Pelosi has been sworn in (and I have had to stop myself from vomitting a few times). She’s made history as the first female speaker of the house and many are calling this an advancement for women, but SanFranNan’s stron pro-abortion views, and voting record, is actually a disservice to women everywhere. With a 0% pro-life voting record … Read More
