I try to post as many adult stem cell/umbilical cord blood success stories as I can, but there is so much going on it really is hard to keep up. It’s also hard to find the stories since they’re not all covered by the media. Lucky for us the Coalition of Americans for Research Ethics does keep up on anything … Read More
Another Successful Rally
The No Cloning Rally was yesterday at the Capitol and it was a great success. Sen. Matt Bartle said that it was the biggest advocacy day turnout he’s seen for any issue in the eight years he’s been in the legislature. Missouri Right to Life estimated turnout at about 1,000. That’s incredible considering this was an all day event that … Read More
Child Born Despite Mother’s Best Efforts
You just can’t get good help these days. Jennifer Raper is suing Planned Parenthood and two other doctors for a failed abortion “causing the plaintiff to remain pregnant.” The “abortion” was performed in April of 2004 and a subsequent doctor visit in July failed to detect the un-terminated pregnancy causing her to give birth to a healthy baby girl in … Read More
What’s Going on in Missouri
The pro-life news sites constantly news have updates about pro-life laws in all of the states. I don’t normally comment on them just because there are too many to keep up with – I have a hard enough time keeping track of what’s going on in my own state. If they’re anything like Missouri, each state could have at least … Read More

Kathryn Jean Lopez has an article on Townhall.com about the recent resignation of the MSM’s favorite “Catholic” darling, Frances Kissling as head of Catholics For Free Choice.

Who’s Selling the “Promise?”

More on Giuliani
Here is a great analysis by Fr. Martin Fox of a recent Weekly Standard (a “conservative” publication) article promoting Giuliani entitled Lets Make a Deal… It is all part of the fever that infects more and more folks as elections near: the sense that winning the next election is so supremely important that more and more must be thrown overboard … Read More
Giuliani in His Own Words
I must admit that I am a little concerned about the poll numbers for the election so far, though I realize the election is still over a year away. I shudder at the thought of two very clearly pro-choice candidates. Thankfully, The Intellectual Conservative has a few words of encouragement: To the best of my knowledge: – No pro-abortion candidate … Read More
“Common Sense is Dying”
Social conservatives see “Two Americas.” Unlike the two Americas that John Edwards saw in 2004, these two Americas are divided morally. Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America says that we have one side that “says other human beings should be used for your own sexual pleasure, and if someone else is a burden to you, if they are … Read More
