ALL is keeping an eye on all of Planned Parenthood’s shenanigans. Now their survey reveals that Planned Parenthood is streamlining its business in order to commit more abortions.:
Protesting Underage Elephant Pregnancy
I guess human beings aren’t the only ones who should be offered birth control and abortion to compensate for their reckless sexual behavior. From Reuters: Sydney’s premier zoo is celebrating the news that its 9-year-old Asian elephant is pregnant, but animal rights groups are shocked that the zoo has let a juvenile elephant fall pregnant. Allowing such a young elephant … Read More
Engaging in the “Embryonic Debate”
Robert P. George & Christopher Tollefsen, who wrote the book, Embryo: A Defense of Human Life, have a column on National Review answering a review of the book by William Saletan of Slate magazine. Having not read the review, I can only gather by this column that Saletan’s main point was that a human embryo is not yet a complete … Read More
Breast Feeding Benefits
It turns out that there is more to the benefits of breast milk than we originally though. It appears that breast milk contains stem cells that aide the further development of the infant after birth (h/t Mary Meets Dolly): “We already know how breast milk provides for the baby’s nutritional needs, but we are only just beginning to understand that … Read More
Scientists Prepare for New Stem Cell Clinical Trials

Or will it prove to be a horrible mistake that unleashes untold devastation upon humanity, like the accordion?… Q. Oh, OK. What is cloning? A. In scientific terms, it is a procedure by which … Read More
Election Thoughts…
A Hillary, Obama or McCain Presidency is not a win for anyone, but it would have been more of a loss if dedicated pro-lifers had set aside their principles in order to avoid either one. I was impressed with the resilience of the pro-life voters who, after being ridiculed and criticized over the past year for their unfair and irrational … Read More
A Prayer for Super Tuesday
“Most merciful Jesus, I beseech You through the intercession of Your dearest Mother who nurtured You from childhood, bless my native land. I beg You, Jesus, look not on our sins, but on the tears of little children, on the hunger and cold they suffer. Jesus, for the sake of these innocent ones, grant me the grace that I am … Read More
Who is Acceptable?
Though I may not refuse to vote for either in the general election (I’ll have to do some soul searching on that one), I don’t see a Romney or a McCain victory against the pro-abortion Democrats as a “victory” for pro-lifers, or Republicans in general. It just means that the status quo in pro-life politics has once again been settled … Read More
