Comment by Rex Vollstedt in Why Germany is REALLY ahead in stem cell treatments
 

The problem is Dr.Charles Murray doesn't have a clue of what he is talking about. Bush funding restriction was on embryonic stem cells not adult stem cell. Adult stem cell are the cell being used to treat heart disease, not embryonic stem cells. There are many places in the world having great success treating heart disease with adult stem cells The fight between embryonic stem cells, and adult stem cells is over, winner aduld cells.

I cannot comment on the "bogusness" of XCell in Germany. I can comment on how in this article a US stem cell scientists says that the US is behind and it is because of Bush's funding restrictions. In this instance, this is clearly not the case because Germany has banned research on embryos all together.

Second, I am not "cursing" the FDA. If you read my original post on the FDA rules, I do not say that FDA rules are good or bad, just there. These rules are a major reason Americans have to overseas for autologous stem cell transplants. Funny how this article never mentions these rules. Too busy blaming Bush I suppose.

And third, I never forget about the nearly half a million frozen IVF embryos. They should not be there. Human organisms should never be manufactured in a dish and then left in the deep freeze, tossed out or donated to research. If you read my blog you would now that I think IVF is part of the problem.

Comment by C. Fitzroy in Why Germany is REALLY ahead in stem cell treatments
 

Your post is interesting as an example of someone who has already taken an ideological stand on an issue and then rearranges the "facts" to fit the ideology.

You say Germany "doesn't waste time or money on stem cell research that does not now, and may never, treat patients i.e. embryonic stem cell research and cloning." Not true. Legitimate stem cell researchers (e.g., Max Planck Institute, Robert Koch Institute, etc.) are working tirelessly to develop safe and effective stem cell-based treatments, whether using embryonic stem cells or so-called adult stem cells. The XCell center in Cologne is a bogus operation that does not offer scientific evidence of the success of its treatments. It instead relies on the comments of patients, most of whom are experiencing a placebo effect, but no real improvement in conditions.

Secondly, what do you think happens to the thousands of unused embryos frozen at IVF clinics? They are destroyed. Period. Without any research being done on them. Why aren't you doing something to stop that, if you're so concerned about embryos?

Lastly, the FDA approval system is in place to protect patients. That's what bothers the shady doctors in the U.S. who are dying to perform unproven stem cell treatments for megabucks. Do you really want to undergo a treatment that has not been rigorously tested for effectiveness and safety before going on the market? Probably not. But it's much easier to curse the FDA rather than admit the truth about the con artists like XCell Center.

Thanks Christina. This is true and I mention that later in the post continued at my blog. I just wanted to point out that Germany isn't ahead because of more liberal laws on embryonic stem cell research as the article suggests.

Comment by Christina in Why Germany is REALLY ahead in stem cell treatments
 

Actually, the biggest barrier to ASCR in the US is that each proposed treatment regimen is treated by the FDA as a new drug, and has to go through the same process for approval as a new drug -- unlike drugs, which can be approved for one purpose but then freely used "off label" for other treatments.

Comment by Charles N. Marrelli in New Stanek WND column, "The 3rd problem with personhood initiatives"
 

Pro-lifers have been discussing, and debating, contraception for decades; pro-choicers and their supporters use it, as they have with other issues, to shift the debate away from the civil rights of the new person in the womb. Contraception is the personal choice of those who practice it, and like any serious decision, they are responsible for the actions that follow from that choice. Contraception (that is not abortifacient) is related to abortion as a condition, not as a cause. The two issues, abortion (the act of killing a person) and contraception (that does not abort) are not intrinsically related; they are separate and distinct in their cause and effect. Pro-lifers must insist on holding the debate to the core question; then the end of legal abortion is inevitable. Writers for Life

Comment by Joseph Woodard in New Stanek WND column, "The 3rd problem with personhood initiatives"
 

"In other words, [the pill and IUDs] may abort.

Not that this educational process won't make those pro-lifers who avoid discussing contraception uncomfortable.

As it should."

This has simply not been discussed for way too long.

I AM SO FOR LIFE! I DO NOT LIKE ABORTION!
I HATE THAT PEOPLE WILL CREATE SOMETHING SO GOOD LIKE THAT AND THEN TARE IT APART! THATS JUST WRONG ON THEIR PART! I DONT THINK THAT IF YOU MAKE A BABY AND THEN CANT RAISE IT JUST PUT IT UP FOR ADOPTION! I THINK THAT MR.OBAMA NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS FACTOR NOW!

I am prolife and a faith based not for profit ministry. I am trying to raise money to purchase a home on Long Island for pregnant young women. These women need a safe place to live. They need to know that they do have choices and abortion is not their only choice. I want to help give them that chance. Do you know anyone that would like to help me and my committe raise the funds to purchase home for these young women and their babies? If you do please email me.

Comment by wow in New Stanek WND column, "Toys R Us linked to 'not rape-rape' Whoopi"
 

wow - I knew something about whoopi gave me the creeps (and NO it is not her skin color - I am not a racist).

I wasn't aware of her promiscuity and serial abortion problems.

She's sociopathic - that explains a lot about her way away from normal pov on things such as excusing an old geezer raping and sodomizing a 13 year old!

Comment by Richard Mandel in New Stanek WND column, "Toys R Us linked to 'not rape-rape' Whoopi"
 

What do you expect, when the term 'Whore,' is no longer "politically correct." It has been replaced, with,'sexually active.' Let's face it, todays men and women no longer discriminate when it comes to each other. That's because the term,'Lady' and 'Gentleman' has also disappeared, among the "politically correct" crowd. Homosexuality and bi-sexuality are now acceptable, suddenly, ancient Rome doesn't look all that ancient anymore.

I thought if personhood was granted to the unborn , the babies would be protected by the constitution of the United States. I am praying for the end of abortion so anything we can do to save the babies is awesome. Thanks for the hard work. Sincerely Harry J. Schroeder

Comment by Charles N. Marrelli in New Stanek WND column, "The 3rd problem with personhood initiatives"
 

Pro-lifers are waking up to the fact that the womb-phase of life is the crux of the life issue. We must focus relentlessly on the life in utero without exception to force the debate back to the preborn's humanity, who by nature is a member of our human family. Early pro-life voices were smothered by the pro-abortion language and imagery of choice, privacy, and woman's rights; we fumbled the ball and let them shift the debate, with the help of the media, from the truth and consequences of each abortion--the murder of an innocent living person. As the sciences have ammased evidence that proves what we've always known to be true from experience, and common sense; the zygote in utero is a tiny one-celled person with a full-sized right to life. Pro-choicers, in denial of reality, dodge logic and science to mitigate their guilt. Every preborn, from the earliest zygote stage to birth, is a separate, individuated person with a full complement of DNA; he or she is an innocent, voiceless, and defenseless with the right to be born, and to breathe free. The instant the womb-phase of life begins, that life is equal to every other living human person, be it b aby, child, child, teen, adult, or senior. It's our duty as responsible citizens to protect that life. Writers for Life

Comment by jimmi malarky in New Stanek WND column, "Ted Kennedy's letter to the pope"
 

It's pretty obvious that this woman loathes Ted Kennedy. So, she praises him and then expresses her "pity" for him regarding his letter to the Pope. That's pretty condescending. Why doesn't she just come out and say that she hates Kennedy because he was pro-choice? She said she has "mixed" feelings regarding him. I don't think her feelings are mixed at all. Neither is her thinking. It is rigid and inflexible, and contributes nothing.

Comment by Joanne in New Stanek WND column, "Ted Kennedy's letter to the pope"
 

OOO laa laa to you too! who are you to judge.
I have been unemployed in limbo for a year and a half and my mother has to pay my car payments and take care of me. My unemployment has extended and was lowered because I held down two jobs and had to quit the other when I was forced out of my house to move back in with my mother.
If it wasn't for my autistic grandson, being in the same house, I would have rather not be here.
Then she'll have to pay for everything else when the rest of the unemployment runs out. She is 79, turning 80 this year.You and your opinion don't take care of this house.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and your opinion is like what they say, so I am not impressed. You are jealous of his funeral and the many people that loved him. And you need to use spell check. I can't waste time changing your mind, it would be like trying to change the minds of the jealous, angry negative people that fired me and bad mouthed me out of every job I've applied to. One day everybody to include you, will get their just dues. You can take your opinion and put it back where it came from. I won't listen to this any more and unsubcribe, delete, and abort it.
And BTW, I have heard that unemployed people that live in other states, like you obviously do, have had a hard time getting any kind of unemployment to include having to pay it back once they find a job. It's good to live in MA, I have lived in the South and the West and politically they are in shambles and don't take care of their people. So, much for your opinion on living in the great state of MA!

Comment by Lubavitch Dude in A Physician testifies- watch, listen and learn...truth spoken before Congress
 

This video is a great reminder of an old lesson, one that I believe is found in both the Old and New Testament - it is not for man to kill man, we can do do, but the consequences are grave.

Comment by cheryl ringuette ciamarra in New Stanek WND column, "Pro-life martyr Jim Pouillon"
 

It should have been 'the shot heard round the world' similar to the beginning of the American Revolution, the beginning of the end of tyranny.

The media however prefers to utilize its most effective weapon "silence". Whereas they splash if a Christian is standing too close to the driveway of a killing center, claiming they are "blocking access" across international media outlets, you don't hear of the 70 year old grandmother thrown to the ground in Kansas or the loss of Jim Pouillon's life.

I believe the culture of life is growing in the hearts of Americans. We will win when the full effects of the loss of 30.6 percent of our under 40 population comes clearer into focus as the physical manpower needed to care for an aging population shrinks in the years ahead.

Comment by Jeff in Should Pro-Life Lesbians and Homosexuals be allowed to March for Life using their banner?
 

A few things more-
If PLAGAL marches with a banner, they are not promoting an agenda, except the agenda of Life. They are saying "We are lesbian and gay people who are pro-life". That's it. They are declaring that they exist. They are not marching for "Pride" or gay marriage or anything other than the rights of the unborn and letting people know that there are pro-life people where many would not expect to find any. By being allowed to display their banner, they are not compelled to appear to be something they are not.

The point of any demonstration is not just to get together with a bunch of people who think the way you do and have a good time saying what you want to say.
It is to project a united voice on an issue.
It is to show society that you exist.
It is to reach people who don't agree with you, and those who are not sure.
It is to encourage and embolden those who do agree with you.
Most of all, it is to bring about change.


One PLAGAL banner, like one "Atheists For Life" banner, will have a much stronger effect on many people watching than just one more banner like all the others. The pro-life movement, to succeed, must become a coalition of diverse groups which defies simplistic categorizations of the past. We cannot allow any voice in defense of Life to be stilled because their path is not as narrow, or their life not as pure, as another's.

The pro-life cause is compelling and specific. For some it is a religious cause, but for all, it is a human rights cause. We must keep our eye on the big picture.
To march in common cause with another does not have to mean you must agree with them on other things. Does God not know what is in your heart?

It is important to keep things in perspective.
I think abortion is far worse, far more destructive to society than homosexuality.
Abortion destroys an innocent life, and I don't need any religion or belief in God to know that. Maybe homosexuality condemns a person to Hell, which is bad for that person, but it does not deny another the right to exist.

In World War II, was the US wrong to ally with the USSR to defeat Hitler? Sometimes, we have to do something we don't like to achieve a greater goal.
Suppose you are pro-life and anti-death penalty, and you have a choice between two candidates for office, one pro-life, pro-death penalty, and one anti-life, anti-death penalty. Which will you choose? Both are morally objectionable to you. Would you refuse to vote, thereby becoming mute on both issues? Is that the right thing to do?
Or do you oppose the greatest evil, even though it means, in a sense, supporting the other? If you do, does God not understand why?

Comment by Jeff in Should Pro-Life Lesbians and Homosexuals be allowed to March for Life using their banner?
 

No one who is sincere should be excluded.
I am repelled by homosexuality, but I recognize that it exists, and that homosexual people are, in any other way, like heterosexuals. They are not devoid of morality, whether you or I consider them to be moral sexually.
It is good for the LGBT people to be there, with their banner. Strategically, it is very good for people to see that the revulsion regarding abortion stretches across all boundaries. It is much more difficult to be characterized and dismissed as narrow-minded religionists if people of different types are being represented in the pro-life movement. Did you ever hear the phrase "putting aside our differences"?

We are constantly being pigeonholed as narrow-minded intolerant right-wing conservative Christians. That hateful description and perception must be challenged!
Abortion is constantly being described as solely a religious issue. That false description and perception must be opposed everywhere it appears!
I am an agnostic and have ALWAYS been pro-life. I will NOT allow you to define it narrowly as the property of your group or your religion.

You must learn how to function outside of your comfort zone. It's a real world out there, and we have to deal with it, even when it means joining forces with those we might not otherwise agree with or maybe even not have anything to do with. We do not have the luxury of excluding people because some see them as sinners.
There have always been bad people inside religions and righteous people who are non-believers. Dr. Tiller was religious and Nat Hentoff is not.

To equate the LGBT people with Satanists or "masturbators" is fatuous. There is no time to waste on silly hypotheticals. The LGBT community is real, increasingly prominent and influential, and respected for their power as a bloc. If members of the LGBT community wish to express their pro-life views within the context of being LGBT, I say great! They can enlighten and influence others in their community as well as those sympathetic to them. We need every voice and every vote!

Comment by Anonymous in Pro Death Penalty, Pro Military, and Pro-life?
 

Your counter to this query does not address the question at hand. You seem to have missed the point.

Someone who claims to be "pro-life" is just that. In favor of preserving life in all its forms.

Since you are pro-death penalty you cannot claim pro-life status. You are merely anti-abortion.

This is a simply English lesson ... not a "crazy" (your word) liberal rant.

You may benefit from spending time studying the lives of those who engage in murder and are sentenced to death for their crimes. Contrary to your belief, people can be rehabilitated after they have engaged in egregious crimes. However, you (who are obviously ignorant on this point) are willing to support state sponsored murder from an emotional standpoint.

So I am sure the "crazy" liberals appreciate your attempt to talk down to them as if they were children who don't understand a math problem. But it is you who should do some soul searching, getting involved in educating yourself on the facts, and stop looking at the world as so black and white. Life is never that simple as pertains to death sentences and rehabilitations.

You are anti-abortion and pro-death penalty. When you state your label accordingly liberals will stop pointing out the hypocrisy that is inherent in your insistence in using the pro-life label incorrectly.

Comment by Cheryl in Observations Of The World We Live In, August 2009
 

I think that all these so called "pro-lifers" are hypocrites. They are pro-life as long as the topic is unborn children. Once it becomes about their pocket books, their views change dramamtically. I think all these groups should change from "pro-life" to "pro-birth, after that your on your own" supporters.

'Au contraire' Joanne! While yes, all will face a judgement and, yes, we all make mistakes, the remainder of your comment couldn't hardly be further from the truth. And, I must say, you don't know history, or at least very well. Ted Kennedy's "contributions" to our nation were demonstrably and inarguably primarily negative. I for one would very much like to disregard his so-called contributions, as most of his actions did considerable harm to us all. We, as a nation of peoples, as a country, and as a union of states, are certainly NOT better for him "being here." Yes, GOD will judge him for his beliefs and for what he did here on Earth. I don't imagine the Lord being too happy with Teddy.

Comment by Charles N. Marrelli in Observations Of The World We Live In, August 2009
 

Until we protect the rights of our preborn citizens we will remain a nation of barbarians. We are acting incoherently and have lost our sense of justice. Science now reveals that abortion activists had tricked many Americans into believing a lie, that the tiniest form of a person growing in the womb, the zygote, is a minute shapeless lump of human tissue. In reality, this human single-cell zygote is formed by two gametes–a female ovum fertilized by a male sperm, each having 23 chromosomes–that, at the moment of fertilization, become a new, individuated (DNA) living human person. Our barbarism began in 1973; the Supreme Court handed down two major decisions, Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton that legalized abortion on demand at any time, and for any reason. And in defiance of common sense, the Supreme Court said, “We need not resolve the difficult question of when life begins. When those trained in the respective disciplines of medicine, philosophy, and theology are unable to arrive at any consensus, the judiciary, at this point in the development of man’s knowledge, is not in a position to speculate as to the answer.” This evasion of reality made it easier for society to swallow the abortion horror. In the past we were the nurturers of our preborn babies, today a woman can have someone destroy the zygote/embryo/fetus growing in her womb. Common sense tells me that the promise of our Declaration of Independence must include every living member of the human family, regardless of its size or where nature initiates the miracle of the womb—new human life.Writers for Life

Comment by Monica Griffin in A Physician testifies- watch, listen and learn...truth spoken before Congress
 

Pro choice = no voice. I just watched a video explainig in depth the actual procedures of abortion and its quite grotesque. How can one justify tearing apart a CHILD's limbs by means of abortion? They conjure up excuses whether it be they are just "blobs of tissue" or "we don't know when a person has a soul" (i've heard that one)or if they have other issues that abortion "solves." The fact is abortion kills. No matter how you look at it, the same underlying theme remains. A precious, innocent life is ended. Honestly, it makes me sick to my stomach to think of the robbing of life...legalized. I wonder if the people that stand strong to the pro choice movement have ever seen pictures of the babies aborted. Have they seen limbs ripped off the body? Have they seen the seen the child's face, or the agitation of the child due to the instruments used during an abortion procedure, because they know, their heart rate accelerates, because THEY KNOW that they are about to die. I wonder what the pro choice people would have said if they had been aborted. What if their voice was silenced? In my opinion, one of the most dangerous places to be right now in America is in the mother's womb.

Comment by Charles N. Marrelli in Concerned Roman Catholics Blast the K of C Double-Standard on Abortion
 

After 36 long years of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, we still have not penetrated the top level markets where the major control of abortion resides, in politics and in the courts. And except for a few dozen Cardinals and Bishops, our Church leaders have been too timid, too careful and unwilling to fight the battle of true apostleship. Don’t expect the Knights of Columbus to do what the bishops won’t do. I have said, and still believe, that the American Church should be willing to risk its tax exemption to stop the killing of our preborn citizens. We have Christ’s promise that the Church will survive!

The new Catholic Catechism for Adults says it clearly, Christ chose his apostles, and the apostles chose men to be bishops to succeed them, and handed on to them “what they received from Jesus’ teaching and example, and what they learned from the Holy Spirit. The pope and bishops in union with him are successors of the Apostles and inherit the responsibility of authoritative teaching.” I believe Pope Paul's “be not afraid” message was directed primarily to our American Bishops. He was hoping that they would “act” heroically because he knew that the world would be watching the American Church, and the American media.

At the Capitol Mall in Washington, D.C., on October 7, 1979, Pope John Paul II said, “If a person’s right to life is violated at the moment in which he (or she) is first conceived in the mother’s womb, an indirect blow is struck also at the whole of the moral order, which serves to ensure the inviolable goods of man. Among those goods, life occupies the first place.”

We have suffered years of political correctness (censorship of language that may offend political sensibilities) from the secular and some of our religious media. It has infected our religious leaders to the point that they have become religiously correct (censorship of language that may offend religious sensibilities) and the damage has been so great that it has virtually shifted our American Church off of its "rock" foundation. Christ's Shepherds have allowed His sheep to scatter and become confused. That's why 54% of American Catholics voted for a radically pro-abortion candidate, and why millions more of our innocent preborn children will die!

First of all everyone should go and read the bill that you can find on healthcare. gopleader.gov. Then you will see everything that the President and the democrats are not telling you, and that is what is going to be detrimental to your beliefs, and there will be no more control over your own private hospitals because doctors and hospitals will only be paid from the government controlled "Health Choices Administration" which will tell the doctors what treatments are acceptible and what they can be paid for these treatments, Etc. Etc. By the way take a look at the bureaucracy, the extensive departments they have set up that everything has to go through and tell me you want your health decisions put in their hands!

Comment by Trent in C-FAM: UN Health Data Show Liberal Abortion Laws Lead to Greater Maternal Death
 

Before jumping to conclusions, we should remember that correlation does not imply causation. For example, it is widely known that in areas with a high density of churches, there is also a high crime rate. Does that mean churches cause crime? No. The third factor that more churches = more people is the real cause of the high crime rates.

In this article the author compares countries like Ethiopia and Mauritius and states that restricted abortion laws in Mauritius versus liberal ones in Ethiopia translates into the reason why maternal deaths are lower in Mauritius. But it could also be explained by the fact that Mauritius is 16x richer than Ethiopia (according to GDP per capita).

More money = better health care = lower maternal mortality rates. This same relation is also found in the Guyana/Chile and Nepal/Sri Lanka examples the author cites. This doesn't mean abortion has no impact on mortality, but only that there is not enough evidence to suggest that it is the only factor affecting maternal mortality.

No matter how much Catholic Charities USA denies it, it will go along with any program as long as it means money in their pockets. A few years ago, I would not have believed it, but since inception of the current administration, so many in power have lied to us for so long and are so indifferent to how we feel, that it will be a long time before I feel like I did under Bush. He made mistakes, but they were mistakes and not deliberate tactics to manipulate us. And, let's face it, the Iraquis are better off for what he did. Will we be after this adminstration is no longer in power? Hardley, and many of our aborted citizens will not even have the chance to experience the downfall. Maybe that is a good thing.
