DENVER, February 21, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver, Colorado commenced the Lenten season today, Ash Wednesday, by issuing a message to his diocese reminding the faithful “As we offer our prayers to God this Lent, let’s ask Him to restore us as a culture of life — a culture committed to the sanctity of every life, from … Read More
Romney Stands Firm on Embryo Issue
Mitt Romney, whose wife is diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, is staunchly opposed to ESC research and is sticking to his position. Supposedly it was this issue that brought him see the light on other life issues. I have not been one to criticize Romney’s pro-life conversion because I knew about his position on ESC research a few years ago. Cal … Read More
“Her Prognosis is Excellent”
Those were the words of Dr. Paul Fassbach who has cared for Amillia Sonja Taylor, the first baby to survive outside the womb after a gestation period of fewer than 23 weeks (she was born after just over 21 weeks). The doctors have changed their minds about letting her go home today, but she is still a miracle baby! Let’s … Read More
Media Cover-up of Ethical Stem Cell Sources
Michael Fumento has a great piece about the media’s dismal coverage of the amniotic fluid stem cell discovery lately. A summary: Adult stem cells cure and treat more 70 diseases and are involved in almost 1,300 human clinical trials. Scientists also keep discovering that adult stem cells are capable of creating a wider variety of mature cells. Perhaps the most … Read More
Women Will Be Paid to Donate Eggs for Science
And you thought advertising for egg donations on college campuses by fertility clinics was bad enough. Now women will be coaxed into undergoing this dangerous and potentially deadly procedure in the name of science! Women “will be paid £250 plus travel expenses, the existing maximum compensation for any egg or sperm donor.” But don’t worry, lest you think the women … Read More
Dad Returns Baby’s Body to Abortion Clinic
Here is a story similar to the one I posted earlier about baby Rowan. This story is about a man who brought his dead child into an abortion clinic after an induced labor abortion, I guess because he couldn’t think of anywhere else to bring it. One of the sidewalk councelors out that day called various law enforcement offices trying … Read More
Proof of the Existence of a Higher Power
I just find this kind of thing amazing. It really is awesome to learn about the complex make-up of the human person (even of animals), and how the body works to regenerate and repair itself. It is unthinkable that something as complex and structured as the human body could have come about purely by chance. This story from Reuters shows … Read More
The Life of the Embryo is the Issue
Princeton professor Robert P. Geore recently spoke at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and accurately pointed out that the issue of embryonic stem cell research is not whether or not it will ever lead to treatments, but should deal with the life of the embryos used for research: “The reason we should be opposed is a moral reason. [Embryonic stem … Read More
True Love
As the world celebrates romance and love today I thought I would say a few words about true love. “So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love” (1Corinth 13:13). So what is love? Or more accurately who is love? St. John answers this question telling us that, “God is love, and he who abides … Read More
Can I Live?
While I’m posting video, check out the video for Nick Cannon’s “Can I Live,” a song he wrote about his mother’s decision to give him life after initially contemplating an abortion. It is very well done.
