JUDIE BROWN COMMENTARY

The news report that British experts in human embryology have the technology to allow parents to choose non-defective human embryos is more than disturbing.

There is a continuous theme running through the Planned Parenthood Federation of America web site, a recurring message that equates “pro-life” with violence.

As a society, we love to count things. In fact, we count almost anything that can be counted. Whenever there are a lot of things to count, official counters seem to pop up

Sen. Bill Frist betrayed the babies. So what does National Right to Life have to say? Oh, not much really. Their pro-Republican but not-so-sure-about-pro-life position is that they are “disappointed” with Frist for supporting human embryonic stem cell research.

Senator Richard Durbin, who defines his religious identity as Catholic, is very, very confused. He says that even though he used to oppose abortion consistently

udge John Roberts’ nomination to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court has people along the fringes, both on the pro-abortion and the pro-life side, so busy positioning for the “big battle” that it almost makes one dizzy.

Professor David Barash, writing on the subject of human embryos, startled this woman by writing that “there is no moment of conception.”

Never in my 33 years of pro-life activism have I seen a slur so despicable that it barely deserves repeating. One of the most eloquent defenders of life, Jim Sedlak of American Life League’s STOPP International, has been described by ?feminazi?

Senator Arlen Specter, known for his love affair with any kind of abortion, is now touting a possible strategy for adding on a human embryonic stem cell research funding amendment to the Health and Human Services appropriations bill.

We live in a world that is upside down, yet far too few people seem to care. And that troubles me. We go along, doing what we do, never stopping to question the media reports that suggest this topsy-turvy reality is the proper direction for culture, our nation and our very lives.
