Janet LaRue has a great column highlighting the fantasy and the false hope perpetuated by ESC research advocates. Proponents of ESCR consider acceptable the destruction of human embryos after we extract their cells. Unlike Munchkinland, however, there are no talking embryos to prick a conscience.

YES! I unfortunately missed Sen. Brownback’s speech to the March for Life crowd yesterday. I wanted to watch the whole thing but I was running around most of the day and didn’t get to catch any of it. The Washington Post reports that the Presidential hopeful was more than well received at the Family Research Council’s “Blog for Life” event … Read More

I don’t think the White House could have chosen a better spokesperson. Tony Snow is fiercely accurate and unafraid to take on media criticism. In a recent exchange with one reporter, Snow defended President Bush by stating: “There’s quite often a regrettable implication that in opposing [embryonic] stem cell research — which, in the President’s view, involves the taking of … Read More

Meet Noah Markham and his mother Rebekah. Two weeks after hurricane Katrina hit, 1400 embryos were rescued from a flooded New Orleans hospital. Noah was one of those embryos.

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

Rick Santorum last November, is a pro-life Democrat and is, so far, planning to vote against the ESC research funding bill that just passed the House when it gets to the Senate floor.
