JUDIE BROWN COMMENTARY

Sometimes pro-lifers rival the pro-abortion crowd in their hysterical hyperbole. Such is the case regarding President Bush’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Samuel Alito.

I just cannot stand it! As a resident of the state of Virginia I find it more than disturbing that a pro-abortion Catholic was just elected governor.

My how the tables have turned. For years abortion advocates have accused pro-lifers of asking Congress to meddle in medical decision making because of our efforts to define abortion as the act of killing that it is.

Nearly three years ago, American Life League embarked on a serious campaign. We decided it was no longer possible to sit on the sidelines and watch while public figures, who claim to be Catholic, advocate, support, promote and vote for abortion.

Politics in science is nothing new, but sometimes it is so blatant as to be downright discouraging. Recent reports suggest that those specific human embryonic stem cell lines that President Bush approved for use in 2001 are problematic.

We don’t usually make positive statements about political appointments or nominations until after we are certain that the person in question is really a true pro-life representative.

A days-old preborn child is not a person according to the Arizona court of appeals. When a Phoenix couple tried to sue Mayo Clinic

Baylor College of Medicine in Texas is going to run a clinical trial that will invite couples to participate in a social experiment that permits them to choose the sex of the baby they want to have.

The news out of Topeka, Kansas proves a point – being a Republican is being whatever you want to be unless becoming a Democrat can aid in your defense of child killing.

The New Jersey Legal Center for Defense of Life announced a victory for babies! A court has agreed that the center can proceed with its claim for an award of attorneys’ fees against the infamous Englewood abortion mill that is known publicly as Metropolitan Medical Services.

Pro-death Senator Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) is proposing that the U.S. Senate wait until a “date certain” in 2006 to vote yes or no on the human embryonic stem cell research funding bill (HR 810/S 471) that would lift the ban on government funding for the deadly practice.

What a joy it was to read a news story about a Catholic bishop taking a stand against the Culture of Death!
