Deroy Murdock has a critique of former mayor, Rudy Giuliani’s abortion position. Apparently during his time as mayor of New York City decreased by a little over 16%, which was slightly more than the national average of the same time period. Murdock suggests that this occurred because, while Giuliani has claimed to support a woman’s right to choose, even suggesting … Read More
All Life is Sacred
Today is the Anniversary of Roe v. Wade. There is so much that I would like to say, but I have a very busy day today. But I did not want to leave you empty handed all day. Some appropriate reading today would be Humanae Vitae, Pope Paul VI and Evangelium Vitae by JPII. Both are wonderful encyclicals that reflect … Read More
National Sanctity of Human Life Day
For all of the criticism President Bush may rightly deserve, there is one area in which he has not failed to please. He has remained consistent in his support for the protection and defence of the fundamental right to life. This coming Sunday, Jan. 21, by proclaimation of President George Bush, is National Sanctity of Human Life Day. America was … Read More
Tony Snow on Fire in Defense of Pres. Bush’s Stem Cell Policy
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
Embryos are People Too
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. Noah is, was, and always will be a human being. Nothing was done to that embryo to magically make it become a human being. The same embryo that was rescued from … Read More
Rudy Giuliani
As a pro-life ‘conservative’ I consider myself Republican because the pary declares on its platform that the right to life of the unborn must be protected. So I am a little concerned about the person who many consider one of the Republican front runners. Rudy Giuliani is very popular and a proven leader, mostly thanks to his wonderful performance as … Read More
Lives Not Worth Living, Take II
It seems that both American and Canadian OB-GYN doctors have agreed that all pregnant women not just those over 35, should screen for Down Syndrome. On the outside this seems reasonable, I mean many women already find out whether their child is male or female prior to birth, so what’s wrong with testing to see if that child will also … Read More
‘Personhood’ to be Defined in Georgia
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
Updated ‘Boycott’ List
Life Decisions International has updated their list of companies that give money to Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider. I must admit that I am not very good at keeping up with these things and ‘boycotting’ the appropriate companies and charitable organizations. As a friend of mine pointed out to me, it’s almost impossible to avoid some of these … Read More
Bob Casey, the “Swing Vote?”
Apparently Sen. Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, who defeated my beloved Sen. 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. This is great news, however he will most likely be under tremendous pressure from supporters of … Read More
