At one point in 2006 the Stowers Institute in KC promised to add hundreds of thousands of square feet to their research facilities if only Amendment 2 would pass and give Missouri researchers a constitutional right to clone and kill human embryos. Now almost two years have gone by, Amendment 2 has passed and two attempts to let voters truly … Read More
Defending Life and Dignity
From a recent column by Dr. Leon Kass in the Weekly Standard: Three important values, differently weighted by the contending sides, were (and are) at issue in the debates about cloning and embryonic stem cells: scientific and medical progress, the sanctity of human life, and human dignity. We seek to cure disease and relieve suffering through vigorous research, conducted within … Read More
It’s Official
John McCain is now officially the Republican nominee (as if that outcome was ever really in doubt) and the last remaining even vaguely pro-life candidates in the race. Obviously Obama and Clinton have no pro-life credentials, and in fact frequently argue over who is more pro-abortion. But is John McCain altogether much better? We all know that he is committed … Read More
Do We Have a Rendezvous With Destiny?
Dear Readers, this Presidential election has really been giving me a head(and a heart)ache. I have found my values tested like never before and I find myself constantly questioning my convictions.

Kenny Hulshof for Governor!!!!
This would be a breath of fresh air after Gov. Blunt’s pro-cloning Governorship! Not only did Rep. Hulshof oppose Amendment 2, he also voted against expanding federal funding for embryonic stem cell research and has a strong pro-life record. He has not made any formal plans to run yet, but he’s considering it. From the St. Louis Post: U.S. Rep. … Read More
And the Winner Is…
Missouri Right to Life finally voted and endorsed Mike Huckabee. For an organization whose sole concern is life issues there simply is no other choice. Two are glaringly unacceptable – Rudy, who is pro-abortion, and McCain, who wants to expand federal funding for embryonic stem cell research – and Romney screwed up when he said he supports scientific research on … Read More
Life News From Missouri
Several things to report from the Show Me State: First, Missouri may soon be offering “Choose Life” license plates after a federal court approved Choose Life of Missouri Inc.’s 2006 application for the specialty plate. It was previously rejected by a joint House and Senate Transportation Committee. This is great news! Not only are these plates a good way to … Read More
