From Life News, Lawmakers Still Want Destructive Embryonic Stem Cell Research Funding, despite the recent breakthrough in reverting human skin cells into embryonic-like cells. But then what can you expect when the very researchers who made such a profound discovery are still encouraging the unethical, and now unnecessary, use of human embryos for stem cell research?

Thompson’s Powerful Pro-Life Endorsement
Thompson’s National Right to Life endorsement has been major news in the pro-life world this week, following other major endorsements (Robertson of Giuliani, Brownback of McCain). Today NRLC issued another statement on their endorsement after getting a chilly and sometimes hostile response from the pro-life community. One of the major criticisms is that Thompson does not support the Human Life … Read More
MO Cloning Ban Update
I haven’t heard much about the cloning ban lately until I got a few news alerts in my email today and yesterday. All of them come from the Pathway from the Missouri Baptist Convention: Article one: JEFFERSON CITY—The case of Cures Without Cloning (CWC) v. Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan and Missouri State Auditor Susan Montee is likely to … Read More
Is Mike Huckabee Fooling Everyone – or is He Worth Looking At?
With Sam Brownback out of the race, I have been looking at the other Republican candidates to see who I will throw my weight behind. Mike Huckabee has been making his way up the ladder, slowly but surely. His impressive win at the Washington Briefing recently has gotten many people talking. Social conservatives are hungry for a viable alternative to … Read More
More on Gov. Blunt
Update: The St. Louis Post has more on Blunt’s and other’s campaign contributions. A lot of it has to do with the restrictions put in place this year on the amount that can be donated (which I think is stupid). In the article, regarding the contribution to Blunt’s campaign from the pro-ESC research group: Blunt spokesman John Hancock said the … Read More
Blunt Gets $250K from ESC Research Supporters
The St. Louis Post reports that Republican Gov. Matt Blunt received $250,000 this summer from the Supporters of Health Research and Treatments. That’s one of the political-action committees set up by supporters of Amendment 2, and Missouri Pulse reports that Blunt has raised just over $1 million in the last quarter. So the pro-ESC research donation accounts for 1/4 of … Read More
NARAL For Rudy?
Not quite yet. But, in an interview with the Huffington Post, the abortion rights group’s political director, Elizabeth Shipp said that it: “would help” the pro-choice movement if a Republican proved it was possible to win the presidency while still supporting abortion rights. “The Republican Party used to be about the conservative principles of limited government intervention in private life,” … Read More
I Never Thought of it This Way!
Thank you Jivin Jehohaphat! In light of one blogger’s football analogy for the 2008 election and the possibility of a Hillary/Giuliani race (in favor of electing Giuliani), Jivin J offered one of his own. It’s 4th and goal from the 35 yard line and we’re down by 4 points. Our chances of scoring a touchdown (electing a prolife third party … Read More
I Can’t Wait to See Him Debate
I found this video via Catholic Tube, of Alan Keyes debating Barack Obama in 2006: Golly, he just explains it so well! FYI there will be a Republican debate on CNN November 28. CNN is partnering with YouTube on this debate, so people can submit video questions to be aired and answered during the debate.
The Great Giuliani Divide
Almost a week has gone by since pro-life leaders vowed third party support in the event of a Giuliani nomination and the fires are still burning on both sides of the Giuliani divide. I’m sick of this whole thing already. The way I see it, much of this infighting can be avoided if we would take a break and focus … Read More
