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
Giuliani Makes it Official
According to his campaign the Republican candidate plans to offer “unambiguous support” for abortion rights in the near future. He is hoping that he can cash in on the blue state primary voters, who may not be too concerned with his stance on life issues, enough for it to offset the support he may lose in more socially conservative states … Read More
No No No No NO!
Rudy Giuliani’s views on abortion are NOT acceptable. But some GOP leaders seem to think so. Fellow GOP vying for the Presidential nomination next year, Rep. Tom Tancredo, told the Associated Press: God knows we don’t want the alternative, being whoever the Democrats have in place. I repeat: a pro-abortion Republican is NOT better, and in fact is worse, than … 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
Bush to Veto Any Anti-Life Legislation
For all his faults, President Bush is at least keeping his pro-life promise. He has stood firm in his decision to veto expanded funding for ESC research and now he’s taking it a step further. President Bush has sent a letter to the Democrat heads of Congress vowing to veto any legislation that “weakens current Federal policies and laws on … 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
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
Will the Republican Party Lose its Soul?
It seems to me that many on the right are so frightened by the thought of a second Clinton presidency that they are willing to back any candidate who has the potential to beat her in the general election. Don’t get me wrong, I am equally as terrified by this woman, but what frightens me more is the nomination of … Read More
Rudy Does it Again
In case you needed more proof that Giuliani is not with us on life issues and will not be if he is elected president; when asked about abortion he recently told the Des Moines Register, “Our party has to get beyond issues like that.” You hear that? It sounds like he’s really getting sick of being asked about this topic. … Read More
