In the unholy trinity of controversial topics – abortion and religion being the first two – stem cell research represents the third issue that is sure to get a rise out of people. Proponents and opponents alike are steadfast in their beliefs and before long debaters are so locked in that rational discussion ceases. It is interesting to note that at least some of the hot points actually do not have to be issues of debate at all.What Are Stem Cells?In simplest terms, stem cells are the kind of bui

Written by Operation Rescue Posted October 2, 2009 at 8:21 amWashington, DC – On Friday, October 2, 2009, the Christian Defense Coalition and other pro-life groups will raise a 100 foot image of the number 71 on the west lawn of the White House to remind Congress that, according to a recent Zogby Poll, 71% of Americans oppose taxpayer funding of abortion in the proposed health care reform package.In support of this effort, Operation Rescue is launching th

The NY Times reports on a new Pew poll which indicates Americans are evenly split on the issue of abortion : For most of the last two decades, a clear majority of Americans has supported the right to abortion. A new poll, though, shows that support for abortion appears to have declined, with the public almost evenly divided over the issue. The apparent shift has occurred in just the last year. In 2008, a poll conducted by the Pew Research Center found that those in favor of keeping abortio

President Barack Obama has been silent about the weekend murder of a pro-life advocate outside a high school in a small town near Flint, Mich. And he’s said nothing after a white student was beaten by black students on a school bus in Belleville, Ill., a few miles southeast of St. Louis. It’s as if these recent events did not happen. The White House double standard is painfully evident. Following the May 31 murder of Wichita abortionist George Tiller, President Obama’s Attorney Gener

In this week’s video report, the American Life League leafs through the 1k+ pages of Obamacare to show how abortion is a Trojan horse in the bill. Then ALL challenges Catholic Charities and the Catholic Health Association for supporting Obamacare, dropping this little bombshell: 5 days after endorsing Obamacare Catholic Charities got its 1st ever government contract - for $100 million . Quid pro quo …. On a grander scale, Deal Hudson at InsideCatholic.com has be

By Robert Cruickshank I’m certainly not the first observer to note that for the conservative “pro-life” crowd, concern for life seems to magically end at the moment of birth. In their world, once the mother has been forced to carry the pregnancy to term, mother and child (and their family…

As predicted on Bearing Drift , Deeds for Governor has gone on the attack, says this morning’s Washington Post . Let’s just cut to the chase — why is Deeds doing this? A skeptical WaPo gets straight to the heart of the matter: Deeds’s appeal is directed at moderate suburbanites in Northern Virginia and elsewhere who might be turned off by McDonnell’s views. It’s also an attempt to rally support from Democrats who have joined Virginia’s electorate in recent years but who might be ambivalen

Right to Life are continuing their bid in the high court to have embryos granted full human rights . Should they succeed, that will render most forms of abortion and some forms of contraception illegal overnight. The motion is therefore being vigorously defended by the Abortion Supervisory Committee. I found the article quote to be curiously slanted as it seems far more interested in the cost of this legal action to the taxpayer than in the implications of the legal battle. Since the start o

WASHINGTON – In their zeal to protect their members from politically hazardous votes on issues such as gay marriage and gun control, Democrats running the House of Representatives are taking extraordinary steps to muzzle Republicans in this summer’s debates on spending bills. On Thursday, for example, Republicans had hoped to force debates on abortion, school vouchers and medical marijuana, as well as gay marriage and gun control, as part of House consideration of the federal government’s contri

WASHINGTON – Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor determinedly sidestepped volleys of Republican questions on abortion and gun rights Wednesday, keeping her demeanor cool and her opinions mostly private as she neared the end of a marathon Senate grilling on the road to all but sure confirmation. After two long days of questioning by Judiciary Committee senators, Sotomayor had yet to make a slip — certainly not the gaffe that even Republicans concede would be necessary to derail her nomination t
