Princeton's Dark PrinceBy Katherine Sabelko
The newest addition to Princeton's facility has caused a worldwide uproar for his clear and unmovable position of supporting infanticide. Dr. Peter Singer has been appointed to the Ira. W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics in the University Center for Human Values. Singer is clear on his position that newborn children - even up to the age of three months - could be legally killed for reasons of disabilities. Surprisingly, animal rights groups has joined in the criticism of his theories - but not for what reasons Christians would expect. For more, click...

Who Is Kidding Whom?The National Pro-Life Democrats Committee issued a press release October 5 declaring Sally Winn, former coordinator for Indiana Democrats for Life, named as the Chairman of the group, which will be an outreach of the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC).
In an effort to "clean up" the Democratic party name, Winn stated, "The Democrat Party has historically been based on protecting the defenseless and voiceless members of our society. The National Pro-Life Democrats Committee plans to educate the Party so that they once again recognize that unborn children are a part of that group and deserve our protection. My question is: Where have they been for the last 25 years? For more, click... Are We On YOUR List?Every month you receive multiple pleas for financial aid. All families have to balance out which groups will receive help. That is reality, but we hope that this month we will be on your list for a special reason.
Last month we told you about a large additional financial commitment CoR made to help finance radio and televisions advertisements. Those ads inform women that there is a confidential number they can call if they are in a crisis pregnancy. By now, many of you have seen the clips on television or heard them on the radio. They are effective, powerful, and they cost money! For more, click... Internet Exposes Hospital Practice of Live-Birth MurdersThere is a hospital in the Chicago suburbs — named, if you can believe this, after our Lord and Savior (Christ Hospital) — that engages in a form of live-birth abortion called a "therapeutic abortion." Theoretically, after a fetus has been diagnosed with a life-threatening condition — ostensibly one that would not guarantee life after birth — doctors give mothers the choice of aborting the fetus during the second trimester of pregnancy.
Basically, what happens is that a mother is given a cervix-relaxation drug, the baby is born live, then given nothing other than "comfort care" — consisting only of holding the baby — until it dies. For more, click... Are You Really You?My Grandma says
I've got Daddy's nose. Before I came He'd two I s'pose? She always adds, They say I've got He died before I understand But what I'd like Or do you think - Author Unknown After reading this short poem, reflecting on the need of individuality of each person and the enjoyment in noting family resemblances in a newborn child, abortion takes on a different aspect.

It is a wonderful way to receive the information we need to convince friends and family to become more active.
I had picked up my copy at a women's meeting at church and after reading, "casually" left it on the kitchen counter for my teenagers to read! Hopefully we will be at your next big function. Gail Hopkins, Congratulations to all who joined in the boycott of General Mills products. The corporate headquarters recently announced they will stop their financial support of Planned Parenthood.

Doctors of Life or Death?Pope John Paul II again spoke out against death by the hands of doctors, September 30 in Vatican City. Referring to his encyclical "Evangelium Vitae," in which he addresses the human meaning and ethical aspects of professionals involved in medicine, the Holy Father said: "In today's cultural and social context, in which science and the practice of medicine risk losing sight of their inherent ethical dimension, health care professionals can be strongly tempted at times to become manipulators of life, or even agents of death.

The Price of Electing RINOsBy Colleen Parro
RNC/Life Fax Notes A RINO is a "Republican In Name Only". A RINO is one of those politicians who runs on the Republican ticket, gets large amounts of establishment money and support, and thumbs his nose at the principles in the Republican platform. There are numerous RINOs or Democrats in disguise currently serving in Congress. Last week, they joined with pro-abortion Democrats in a disgraceful vote for Senator Tom Harkin's amendment that reaffirmed Roe v. Wade. The Harkin Amendment was attached to the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, so that Senators who wanted to cast a pro-life vote for the PBA ban had to accept the reaffirmation of Roe in order to do so.

Quote of the Month"I deplore any medical procedure that treats human beings as chattel, as a subject fit for harvesting. The humanity of every fetus should be respected and treated with dignity and not like a laboratory animal. The fact remains, though, that its legal, and 1.5 million abortions are performed every year in the United States. It is legal, and tens of thousands of body parts from aborted babies are used in scientific research. It is true, too, that our laws provide no human-being status to an unborn baby. But despite this, unborn babies are considered human for the purpose of scientific experimentation." State RoundupAlabama

Spanish Judges Oppose Decision to Strip Unborn of Rights: Experts in Bioethics Highlight Contradictions In statements to the Spanish newspaper "La Razon," Jose Luis Requero, spokesman of the Professional Association of Magistracy, to which most Spanish judges and magistrates belong, said that the ruling of the Constitutional Court, which states that the fetus is not entitled to the right to life, and that embryos can be used for experimentation "breaks with the jurisprudence that the Court itself established on protection of life of the unborn in 1986, where it stated that the fetus needed some kind of protection."

The Facts and the OpinionThe Facts:
By Katherine Sabelko International news was made when the Catholic Church offered a 12-year-old girl financial help so that she would not have to have an abortion. Though the Catholic Church has always offered aids to women in crisis pregnancies, pro-abortion groups lashed out in this incident, exposing their true goals - kill as many babies as they can possibly kill. And the Opinion! By Sue Widemark Taunts of pro-choice advocates have told us for years, "If you are against abortion, why don't you pay for the 'unwanted' children?" And of course, we've known for years that whereas pro-choice advocates never pay for women to have abortions (words are cheap), clinics supporting mothers of unborn children, run primarily by the donations (money and hours) of pro-lifers, are in every city.
