lesforlife http://lesforlife.blogspot.com/ lesforlife@earthlink.net Pro-Life News PERSONHOOD AMENDMENT TO BE ON NOVEMBER BALLOT Colorado for Equal Rights Submits Nearly Double Required Signatures DENVER, COLORADO (13 May 2008) - Colorado for Equal Rights submitted 131,243 petition signatures to place the personhood amendment on the ballot this November, 55,000 more than is required. The amendment extends the legal definition of 'person' to include the moment of fertilization. "We are seeing an awakening of the powerful grassroots movement," said Kristi Burton, spokesperson for Colorado for Equal Rights Campaign. "Thousands of individuals along with myself are making the commitment to not rest until every human being is equally protected by love and by law." Colorado for Equal Rights enlisted the help of hundreds of churches and more than a thousand volunteers to collect the requisite number of signatures. "The Grassroots of Colorado made this happen. But we could not have done this without the help of pro-life organizations, such as 2008-05-13T15:39:11Z 2008-05-13T15:35:28Z tag:www.prolifeblogs.com,2008:/articles/2.3807 2008-05-13T15:35:28Z

But what's the point of preserving the earth and its greenness for future inhabitants if humanity does not have the right to be born?

marybeth http://www.mothermayibeborn.com marybeth.hagan@verizon.net Politics The global warming issue leaves me cold. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for conservation, recycling and such. But what's the point of preserving the earth and its greenness for future inhabitants if humanity does not have the right to be born? When did plant life grow to be more important than people? Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain's new campaign advertisement "There's a Better Way," here on YouTube, touts his global warming credentials. (Fortunately McCain also has decent pro-life credentials unlike either of his possible opponents, Democratic Senators Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton.) "We have an obligation to future generations to take action and fix it [global warming]," says McCain in the closing of his new ad. Still, we have a more pressing obligation to future generations. First, we must fight for humanity's right to be born.

barbara http://www.mommylife.net megamommy12@aol.com Planned Parenthood California citizens, reeling under their state government's rapid financial slide, are looking at Planned Parenthood's bloated budget and recently documented abuse of our federal and state grants abortion industry handouts and saying Enough is Enough. As a 30-7ear resident of California (I returned to Virginia in 2002), I can verify the truth of the saying "As goes California so goes the nation." While this has always meant a destructive slide, some citizens of California are determined that this budget crisis may be perfect timing for finally overthrowing Planned Parenthood's grip on state finances. Following is the beginning of an email I received last week from the Coalition to Eliminate Abortion Funding. During this state budget crisis, when our family healthcare services and children's school programs are experiencing drastic spending cuts, California taxpayers request the Elimination of Abortion Funding, especially from Planned Parenthood, from our state budget.

After years of infertility and being diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, Marlene Strege of California began to explore adoption. Her doctor recommended embryo adoption, and she and her husband, John, posed the idea to longtime friend Ron Stoddart, executive director of Nightlight Christian Adoptions. Stoddart investigated the idea and eventually created the Snowflakes Embryo Adoption program. After prayer and research, the Streges adopted a frozen embryo, and on Dec. 31, 1998, they became the proud parents of the world's first snowflake baby, Hannah. Ten years after her first Mother's Day, Marlene Strege spoke with CitizenLink about the adoption of their little snowflake. Read interview here.

Couples only recover their former blissful existence once their offspring have left the nest, according to an expert on what creates joy. Daniel Gilbert, professor of psychology at Harvard University, said studies across America and Europe had shown that while feelings of happiness spike during the early years of marriage, they fall heavily after having children. He told a Happiness and its Causes conference in Sydney that parents' desire to get a return on the time and money they have invested in their children is part of the reason they persuade themselves that their offspring are enhancing their lives. 2008-05-10T15:09:45Z 2008-05-10T15:05:20Z tag:www.prolifeblogs.com,2008:/articles/2.3799 2008-05-10T15:05:20Z

Carl Landwehr, founder and president of the Vitae Caring Foundation, saw a need for a way to reach more people concerning abortion. So he filled it with his foundation.

marybeth http://www.mothermayibeborn.com marybeth.hagan@verizon.net Abortion Carl Landwehr, founder and president of the Vitae Caring Foundation, saw a need for a way to reach more people concerning abortion. So he filled it with his foundation. "You've got to tell the story," Landwehr said to a group of pro-life supporters in West Chester, Pa., last Saturday evening. The mass media was a natural fit, he said, because "advertising changes the way people think and the way people behave." To ensure effective -- life saving -- advertising, the Vitae Caring Foundation invested in research that helped group members "learn how to speak to pregnant women," said Landwehr. They also realized that "one message does not fit all," that addressing abortion "was more complicated than sharing information." The group's goal is to encourage pregnant women with unplanned pregnancies, who "feel alone and desperate," to turn to pregnancy centers for help, Landwehr said. There's no "finger pointing, no relying for 2008-05-14T12:55:03Z 2008-05-07T14:03:32Z tag:www.prolifeblogs.com,2008:/articles/2.3797 2008-05-07T14:03:32Z

jill stanek http://www.jillstanek.com/ jillstanek@comcast.net Politics On April 24, KS pro-life U.S. Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts issued a press release endorsing Steve Howe for Johnson County district attorney. The release called the position an "open seat." It is not. Phill Kline is currently the appointed district attorney and has been urged to reconsider his decision not to run to retain his seat in November.... Kline is the only DA in the country with a pending criminal case against a Planned Parenthood.... Brownback knows pro-lifers are encouraging Kline to stay... because many influential pro-lifers called him and asked him to wait for Kline to decide before endorsing. There was no hurry. The filing deadline is still over a month away.... But Brownback... endorsed Howe anyway.... The question is whose help does Brownback want? RINOS and hacks want the Planned Parenthood investigation ended. They fear a run by Kline will stir more Democrats to vote 2008-05-07T01:08:08Z 2008-05-07T01:02:33Z tag:www.prolifeblogs.com,2008:/articles/2.3796 2008-05-07T01:02:33Z

The Roe decision on January 22, 1973 "was the triumph of positivism over natural law, said Judge Andrew P. Napolitano.

marybeth http://www.mothermayibeborn.com marybeth.hagan@verizon.net Pro-Life The Vitae Caring Foundation's fundraiser at the Iron Horse Farm in West Chester, Pa. this past Saturday night lived up to the group's name. It was a lively and lovely affair. (Vitae puts the mass media to good use by educating the public via well-researched, effective advertising that promotes respect for human life. Look for more on the foundation here on Thursday.) Fox News' analyst Judge Andrew P. Napolitano, Vitae's guest speaker, told several stories sprinkled with humor. Yet, there was no joking in the judge's lesson on the mindset that enabled passage of the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.

No one should suffer needlessly when a doctor's injection ends it quickly. Dignity - Euthanasia is necessary to preserve the dignity of a dying person. Better good of society - End-of-life care is expensive and drains the health care system. Sometimes we have to make hard choices for the greater good. Checks and Balances - Euthanasia can be carefully controlled through a system of checks and balances. These four arguments are hard to refute, which is why the Nazi leadership could present them so effectively in the era before World War II. 2008-05-03T04:59:36Z 2008-05-03T04:58:00Z tag:www.prolifeblogs.com,2008:/articles/2.3230 2008-05-03T04:58:00Z
