I have seen two articles in recent weeks about doctors in Europe who want the door opened to “baby euthenasia” for severely handicapped babies. Apparently the problem is that scientific advancements have been made that are actually prolonging the lives of children once considered “terminal.” The Church of England has even given its blessing to this barbaric act. This is … Read More
Abortion and Illegal Immigration?
One argument in favor of allowing illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. is the fact that so many of them are filling the jobs that “Americans aren’t doing.” A new report to a legislative panel in Missouri on illegal immigration suggests that part of the reason there are so many unfulfilled jobs in America has to do with abortion. … Read More
Conservatives to Republicans: Stand Up for Your Values!
Jill Stanek, from World Net Daily, reports that perhaps election day was not really a set back for pro-lifers. The problem, in fact, was our pro-life, republican leaders going silent on the issues that are important the conservatives who put/kept them in office in 2004: “While Democrats boldly promoted embryonic experimentation, decried parental notification, and argued that privacy ranked higher … Read More
Killing Our Children
I have to give a big thank you to Bill O’Reilly. For over a year he has really been investigating the state of Kansas and their partial birth abortion policy – specifically with regards to George Tiller, often referred to as “Tiller the Baby Killer.” Tiller’s situation is particularly troubling. He will perforn late term, partial birth abortions, for just … Read More
Minnesota Researchers Get Lung Cells From Cord Blood
Researchers at the University of Minnesota were able to get stem cells from umbilical cord blood to differentiate into a certain type of lung cell. Another amazing achievement for adult stem cell research came out last week about scientists in the UK who were able to use umbilical cord blood to grow an artificial liver. This astonishing research is all … Read More
Could Missouri Turn This Thing Around?
Senator Matt Bartle thinks so! In an interview on Bott Radio Network yesterday Senator Bartle, from Lee’s Summit, outlined a plan to work with members of the Missouri Legislature to get something on the ballot in the future that would actually ban human cloning! One aspect of this that I had not considered is that the vast majority of counties … Read More

St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke released a statement on the passage of amendment 2. In it he says that amendment 2 will, among other things, “further erode respect for all human life and for procreation as the way new human life is to come into the world.” And that, “The election campaign for the passage of Amendment 2 has shown … Read More
Supreme Court Hears Partial Birth Abortion Arguments
If you haven’t already heard, the United States Supreme Court heard arguments yesterday about the federal partial-birth abortion ban. It is definetely a different court than the one that struck down the ban in Nebraska in 2000. Fr. Frank Pavone, from Priests for Life, was at the hearing yesterday and shares his reflections on the arguments: “This is not simply … Read More
Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled
In times like this I take comfort in the wisdom of our first Pope: “In this you rejoice, though now for a little while you may have to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith, more precious than gold which though perishable is tested by fire, may redound to praise and glory and honor at the revelation … Read More
We Need This Man in the Senate…
Or in the Oval Office! So, I wasn’t planning on posting anything today. But, I would be really sad to see this man voted out today. Senator Rick Santorum is an amazing defender of the family and human life and it would just be a shame to see the people of Pennsylvania not reward his good service. I pray that … Read More
