too bad the majority isn't going to mean squat because of Specter. As for those polls, while it is encouraging that so many people recognize abortion is murder, believe it or not, a good number of people both believe it is murder and that it should be legal. Boggles my mind, but it's true. I would like to see a poll about how many people would be in favor of overturning Roe v Wade.

They should have to do a real filibuster. Frist seems to have some "tricks up his sleeve". This is gonna get risky for the Dims, since they will be seen as racist, due to the nominees GWB has in mind...

On Election Day, the majority pro-life American voters put a pro-life Republican in the White House. American voters increased the pro-life majorities in both House of Congress, knowing full well that their decision will also mean a pro-life majority on the Supreme Court.

I think the author speaks much too soon in assuming our Rat congressfolk in either party will adhere to the will of the people.

End the filibuster. It's too bad that Frist had to call this his 'nuclear option'..this just gives the old media a sound bite to harp on.

Fifty-five percent of Americans agreed with the statement; "Life begins at conception."

I don't believe only 55% believe a unique human life begins at conception.

I think that some have confused "legal person-hood" with "human being".

One of the indicators of person-hood: prosecution for murder for the intentional non-defensive killing of same. Most would not prosecute for first degree murder a fertility clinic tech who destroys an 8-celled "excess zygote".

December 28, Feast of the Holy Innocents

The Holy Innocents saved the Child Jesus from death by King Herod by the shedding of their own blood. The Holy Innocents are the special patrons of small children, who can please the Christ Child by being obedient and helpful to parents, and by sharing their toys and loving their siblings and playmates.

The feast of the Holy Innocents is an excellent time for parents to inaugurate the custom of blessing their children. From the Ritual comes the form which we use on solemn occasions, such as First Communion. But parents can simply sign a cross on the child's forehead with the right thumb dipped in holy water and say: May God bless you, and may He be the Guardian of your heart and mind—the Father, + Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
