Holiday holds special meaning after family's prayers are answered At Thanksgiving dinner today, our baby girl will gum her grandma's sweet potato casserole (with marshmallows!) for the first time. My husband, Steve, and I will give thanks. Thanks for all the simple, adorable baby things Elise does. Thanks that our odyssey as new parents, which began with so much pain, ended in renewed faith and growth. And thanks to God -- for by His grace Elise has been granted not just her life, but her amazing strength and miraculous health. Encephalocele. The word sounded foreign and ominous on my ...

FDA unleashes new threat to human babies "In the midst of a terror campaign and a frightening battle against anthrax, the FDA has somehow been able to find the time to sanction yet another form of baby killing," said Judie Brown, president of American Life League. "The newly-approved birth control patch uses the same abortion-causing chemicals used in many other so-called contraceptives." With its approval of the birth control patch, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has now approved its fourth new "contraceptive" option in the last year. The skin patch has been added to a collection that already includes ...

The Massacre of Innocents (The following is excerpted from a homily given by Fr. Thomas Euteneuer on 8 October 2001 at the opening Mass for the 9th International Week of Prayer and Fasting in Washington, D.C.) I saw a news story on the television when I was traveling recently which was titled, “A defining moment for America.” It was about the WTC disaster, and spoke of other “defining moments” in American history, like the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the assassination of JFK, the first walk on the moon, etc. It was making the case that the WTC disaster was ...

When Kevin and Amy McMullen adopted Ryan 3 years ago (WORLD cover story, June 6, 1998), they knew something about adoption because they had already adopted Dalton (now 8) and Seamus (now 6). But Ryan's birth was something different. He was born at 26 weeks, weighing 1 lb. 12 oz. He was so tiny that he fit easily into the palm of Kevin's hand, with his miniature feet barely reaching his father's wrist. His skin, his lungs, his eyes were all underdeveloped, leading the doctors to think he would either die or have a medically troubled life. That their ...

"It's an outrage that the entire Foreign Operations bill has stalled because of the United Nations Population Fund's support of forced abortion and sterilization," said Steven Mosher, president of Population Research Institute (PRI). "An overwhelming majority of Americans would be horrified if they knew their tax dollars were going to a group that funds such coercive programs." Mosher said that the Foreign Operations Appropriation -- totaling $15.4 billion this year -- contains much-needed funds for life-saving basics. Tragically, however, the bill also contains tens of millions for the UNFPA. UNFPA claims that its family planning programs throughout the world are ...

GOP front-runner courts conservatives, shifts some positions JACKSONVILLE - Peggy Vance has been one of Jesse Helms' political foot soldiers for three decades. In fact, she has all but canonized the Republican senator, referring to him as "Saint Jesse." Which is why it bodes well for Elizabeth Dole that Vance showed up last week at a Dole campaign lunch at Hilda's Restaurant in this Eastern North Carolina military town. "Jesse Helms' shoes are going to be hard to fill, but I believe Mrs. Dole's small feet will fit in his shoes very well," said Vance, a 70-year-old Republican from Jacksonville. ...

<p>A member of Congress has asked federal officials to investigate why $91,000 in abstinence-only education funding has been awarded to a Wisconsin group that says on its Web site that it doesn't do abstinence-only education.</p>
<p>"Because of the limited federal resources available to promote abstinence, it is extremely important that this money is wisely spent and provided to individuals and organizations that have proven to be effective abstinence advocates," Rep. Mark Souder, Indiana Republican, said in a Nov. 14 letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson.</p>

BIOLOGICAL WAR-FEAR Smallpox vaccine usesfetal cell line Some Americans may refuse shot, worsening potential outbreak By Jon Dougherty © 2001 WorldNetDaily.com A company that would use a stem-cell line from an aborted fetus to manufacture a new smallpox vaccine is one of only a few firms being considered for a major new government contract despite concerns that the use of such tissues could lead many people to refuse the shots, thereby worsening any outbreak. The company, Acambis PLC of England, in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, has already been contracted by the federal government to ...

Is the FBI Framing Fugitive? By Fred Martinez James Kopp, renowned in the San Francisco Bay Area for his support of pro-life causes since the mid-80’s is now known nationally as a fugitive accused of murdering abortion doctor Barnet Slepian. Fifty-two years old Slepian was killed in his Amherst home near Buffalo, New York on October 23, 1998. The accused Kopp disappeared eleven days after the killing. CBS sources said he escaped to Mexico. He arrived in Ireland around the spring of 2000. He had been hiding in Ireland for a year but fled March 10 or 11, possibly to ...

NARAL On The Attack Again by Dr. J. C. Willke The abortion industry has again declared war on pregnancy help centers. NARAL has sent a how-to manual, "Unmasking Fake Clinics", to its activists advising how to do this. We've been here before, about two decades ago. A few hard lessons were learned back then, so it behooves us to look once again at the activities of this crucially important two-thirds of the pro-life movement. Back then, the major lesson learned was for the staff of the pregnancy help center to never lie - always tell the truth. A very few ...

Abortion and Rights: Applying Libertarian Principles Correctly [ The Library ] [ Life, Rights, and Rock 'n' Roll ] [ Links ] [ Order Literature ] [ Contacting Us ] Abortion and Rights: Applying Libertarian Principles Correctly by Doris Gordon Libertarians for Life Copyright 1995, 1999 About This Article In arguing that abortion should not be legal, pro-lifers generally focus on proving that a human being's life begins at conception. This argument often fails to persuade, because it does not confront the right of the woman to control her own body. Many pro-lifers talk as if they have lost the rights argument — or worse that they can never win it — and they end up painting ...

12-Nov-2001 -- EWTN Pro-Family News NEW UNFPA REPORT CONTRADICTED BY MORE AUTHORITATIVE UN SOURCE A new report issued by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) contends that population growth has resulted in human misery and environmental ruin throughout the world. UNFPA claims these problems will become calamitous unless women gain access to reproductive services, which includes abortion. UNFPA's annual "State of the World Population" ("Footprints and Milestones") issued this week almost completely contradicts a report issued a few weeks ago by the UN's official statisticians, the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs. In "World Population ...

Well on his way to becoming Wayne Newton, impeached former president Bill Clinton recently instructed his advisers to "devise ways to remind the public of his accomplishments and defend his legacy" – as was dutifully reported by Clinton's image-makers at the New York Times. Liberals are now on notice: It's time to start getting prolix at Manhattan cocktail parties on the issue of Clinton's legacy. So far, the best the Times has been able to cough up in the way of material for the Clinton Legacy Project was a sad little op-ed titled "Winning With the Military Clinton Left Behind." ...

As pundits mull whether America's next target in the war on terrorism should be Iraq or a smaller quarry first – such as the Sudan or Somalia – it's time to consider another petri dish of ferocious anti-American hatred and terrorist activity. The Bush doctrine is: We are at war not only with the terrorists, but also with those who harbor them. We've got to attack France. Having exhausted itself in a spirited fight with the Nazis in the last war, France cannot work up the energy to oppose terrorism. For decades now, France has nurtured, coddled and funded Islamic ...

We can only hope the government will deal with California Talibanist John Walker as harshly as it did with Elian Gonzalez. Encouraged by his indulgent liberal boomer parents to find his own spiritual path, Walker responded predictably – and quickly became a walking left-wing cliché. The one spiritual path it is absolutely positively certain Walker could never have chosen is one founded in Scripture. In his hometown of Fairfax, Calif., the conventional spiritual paths include Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Sufism, Rastafarianism, Native American spirituality and voodoo. But according to the Boston Globe, "only 12 percent of residents attend traditional churches ...

Feverish, angry mail poured in from bitter Manhattan termagants in response to a Maureen Dowd column in The New York Times about the "hunks" at Ground Zero. Dowd had ruefully noted that feminism "has done a back flip" since women "now ogle the macho men they once spurned." The letters weren't complaining about the wild double standard that allows a woman columnist for a major newspaper to objectify men – calling firemen, for example, a "sizzling accessory." No, the bitter letter-writers took issue with Dowd's claim that after Sept. 11, "women get in a swoon when a hard hat with ...

The Hun is at the gateThis week's winner for best comedy line about the war is New York Democratic Sen. Charles Schumer. Referring to – well, it doesn't really matter what he was referring to, but it was military tribunals – Schumer said: "To come up with the best way to do this, Congress ought to be involved." Congress came up with the Internal Revenue code, right? And the whole United States code? That's just what we need – Congress involved in emergency national security measures! Under the self-aggrandizing delusion that their input is necessary during wartime, various congressmen are ...
