I am very blessed to have Dr. Acuff as my spinal cord doctor. Last year he was outspoken in his field against Amendment 2. Now he is a member of Cures Without Cloning and speaking out in support of the CWC initiative to ban human cloning. For Dr. Acuff it’s all about the patients, about giving them hope in something … Read More
More on the Values Voter Debate
Yes Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, John McCain and Fred Thompson all skipped the debate citing “scheduling conflicts”. However, Giuliani was in Ft. Lauderdale (where the debate was held) just hours before the debate and Thompson was in Florida over the weekend and is due back Tuesday. Now scheduling conflicts can be a legitimate excuse, but when they didn’t even answer … Read More
Alan Keyes is Running Again!!
I know his campaign never goes anywhere, but the man is just fantastic. I have had the privilege of hearing him speak a few times and I can’t even describe to you what an amazing experience it is just to listen to him. This pic is from one of the anti-cloning rallies in Missouri last year against Amendment 2. Apparently … Read More
Exploiting Women and Families for Cloning/ESCR
A little late getting this one in, but this is despicable. In the UK women will be offered discounted IVF treatments if they will donate extra eggs for cloning research. I’m not sure what’s worse, that, or the morally bankrupt StemLifeLine which encourages parents to destroy their own offspring by allowing the company to “develop” and “transform” their unwanted IVF … Read More
Celebrating My Survival Today
Yes, today is my birthday – number 25. It’s always pretty sobering when I think that when I was conceived, my mother had the legal choice to have me killed before I was born. Thanks, Mom, for choosing life! I share this birthday with the feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Mary shared in the sufferings of Christ (Lk. 2:35) … Read More
I’m Worried About Republicans
An LA Times/Bloomberg survey asked Republican voters about supporting a GOP candidate who didn’t agree with their view on abortion: About 30 percent of GOP voters in each state said they would only vote for a candidate who shared their views and about 60 percent in each state said they would be willing to consider a candidate who takes a … Read More
Missouri Abortion Law Challenged Again
So the new law regulating abortion clinics that was put on hold last month has been heard again in court. The Family Research Council blog recently posted a response to a typically biased LA Times article about the Missouri abortion law. In the response, Andrew Schlafly, General Counsel for the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, offers a point by … Read More
The Importance of a Pro-Life President
President Bush Again Withholds Funding From Pro-Abortion UN Group This is the sixth year the Bush administration has said the U.N. Population Fund wrongly backs the one-child policy. Just another reminder of why Giuliani is a bad choice for the Republican party. Things like this would not happen under a Giuliani presidency. You can thank President Bush by going to … Read More
“I Am, Therefore I Matter”
Mark Pickup has some truly beautiful words, as always, up on his Human Life Matters blog this week: What gives human life value? What if my multiple sclerosis begins to attack the little grey cells of my brain that control cognitive thinking? It often does with this disease. As I mentioned earlier, my MS is increasingly aggressive. What if I … Read More
Loving Our Enemies
As pro-life people we must love and respect all human life, including those who do not love us in return, and even those who wish us harm. The Gospel reading at today’s Mass for peace was from Matthew in which Jesus tells us, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But … Read More
