I just got word today that the Secretary of State has approved the ballot title and language for the Cures Without Cloning initiative and it is an absolute disgrace: Constitutional Amendment to Add Article III, Section 38(e), Relating to Limiting Stem Cell Research, 2008-014 [full text] Submitted by: Lori Buffa, M.D. Contact Information: Lori Buffa, M.D. Cures Without Cloning P.O. … Read More
Finally, I’m on the News!
I did an interview with KOMU TV a number of weeks ago regarding the cloning debate in MO. It wasn’t my best interview, but I made it through. Here is part of the story: COLUMBIA – The secretary of state’s office issued a ballot language on Wednesday evening. The ballot initiative was proposed by the Missouri Coalition for Cures Without … Read More
I Never Thought of it This Way!
Thank you Jivin Jehohaphat! In light of one blogger’s football analogy for the 2008 election and the possibility of a Hillary/Giuliani race (in favor of electing Giuliani), Jivin J offered one of his own. It’s 4th and goal from the 35 yard line and we’re down by 4 points. Our chances of scoring a touchdown (electing a prolife third party … Read More
Respect Life/Life Chain Sunday
I forgot to do a post yesterday about Respect Life Sunday. I wasn’t able to participate in any Life Chains. Come to think of it, I don’t think I heard of any being organized around my area. Maybe I will have to do something about that in the future. This is a picture of me at the Life Chain in … Read More
I Can’t Wait to See Him Debate
I found this video via Catholic Tube, of Alan Keyes debating Barack Obama in 2006: Golly, he just explains it so well! FYI there will be a Republican debate on CNN November 28. CNN is partnering with YouTube on this debate, so people can submit video questions to be aired and answered during the debate.
The Great Giuliani Divide
Almost a week has gone by since pro-life leaders vowed third party support in the event of a Giuliani nomination and the fires are still burning on both sides of the Giuliani divide. I’m sick of this whole thing already. The way I see it, much of this infighting can be avoided if we would take a break and focus … Read More
ESC Research and the Presidential Candidates
One of the best things I think President Bush has done during his presidency (notice I said “one of”) was to take a stand and twice veto a bill to expand federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Of course it doesn’t exactly excuse the fact that he was the first president to actually provide federal funding for ESC research, … Read More
My Letter to the Editor
I finally got in my letter in response to the Quadriplegic lawyer who filed a complaint against Cures Without Cloning. It was a little harder than other letters I’ve written because they only allow up to 150 words. I’m used to at least 2-300. You can find it at the KC Star’s Unfettered Letters: This letter is in response to … Read More
Proving My Point About Republicans
In recent years, retired Sen. John Danforth, no fan of the “religious right” wing of the Republican party, has been a consistent disappointment to me as a Republican, culminating in his unwavering support for human cloning, ESC research and the passage of last year’s Amendment 2. Now he is spending his time encouraging like-minded moderate Republicans to run for office. … Read More
Who’s The Most Conservative Candidate?
Via Stop the ACLU: Forbes Magazine rated the 2008 Presidential hopefuls on five policy issues, each on a scale of 1-10 (ten being the most conservative), making the highest score 50. Not surprisingly all of the Democrat candidates had scores of 10 and under, with Dennis Kucinich winning the prize for most liberal (2.8) followed closely by John Edwards (3.6). … Read More
