National Right to Life PAC Launches Obama and McCain Websites

Want the real scoop on Obama’s outrageous pro-abortion position and McCain’s pro-life record?  National Right to Life PAC has launched two very informative websites, one on each candidate.   Not only can you get the real deal on the Obama and McCain right-to-life positions, but you can guide your family, friends and colleagues to the site — again and again.

Young people, especially, need to have this information.    Every study we have seen tells us these first-time voters are very pro-life.    Polls also state that they support Obama in large numbers.  We need to get them to connect the dots.  A vote for Obama will relegate millions of unborn children to the dust heap of abortion.     Where is the hope and promise for them?

Planned Parenthood and Racism

In one of the most shocking developments linking Planned Parenthood and racism, the video below records an individual calling several Planned Parenthood offices in states like Ohio and New Mexico. The caller identifies himself as a prospective donor and states uncategorically that he wants to make a donation for the specific purpose of paying for the abortion of a black baby. The caller makes several racist remarks about wanting to have a black baby aborted because there are too many black people around.

The caller is assured by various Planned Parenthood officials, who are named in the video, that PP would be happy to oblige. The financial gift will be earmarked for abortion of a black baby. Listen for yourself, and you will find yourself as shocked as I am at the blatant racism displayed by PP. Anything for a buck, I guess.

More Men Coming Forward to Talk About Post-Abortion Pain

David Andrusko writing in Today’s News and Views for the National Right to Life Committee says pro-abortionists are taking notice with trepidation about new attention being paid to abortion consequences for men. “Abortion rights supporters watch this latest mobilization warily:  If anecdotes from grieving women can move the Supreme Court, what will testimony about men’s pain accomplish?  They can potentially shift the entire debate,” said Marjorie Signer of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, an interfaith group that supports abortion rights.  Signer was quoted in an article which ran in the January 7, 2008 Los Angeles Times.

Signer was referring to commentary which substantiated post-abortion grief for women in last year’s U.S.  Supreme Court decision to uphold the partial-birth abortion ban

Over the years, a few men have stepped forward to talk about the pain they experienced from losing a child through abortion.   I can remember a father coming to a public hearing in Madison many years ago, testifying tearfully that he found out about his wife’s abortion when he found the bill for it while cleaning the kitchen floor.   All who heard this dramatic testimony were profoundly affected by this man’s agony.

The subject of post-abortion men is no longer a now-and-then utterance as many more men come forward.   At a workshop at the National Right to Life convention held earlier this month, family therapist Greg Hasek explained that post-abortive men do not seek counseling because they do not connect their pain to the abortion. Hasek said that what impacts men deeply is not the concept of abortion itself but that of lost fatherhood.  Because of this, approaches to men must be different than those to women.

Kudos to the National Office for Post-Abortion Reconciliation and Healing for holding a major conference last November in San Francisco on “Reclaiming Fatherhood.”  With 170 participants from 28 states and nine countries, this conference was so successful that a second one is planned for September 8th and 9th, 2008 in Chicago.

And, we will watch the pro-abortionists squirm as they continue to try to shove under the rug the fact that there are major harmful consequences from abortion to women and men.

Adult Stem Cell Transplant Success Stories Mount

The June 2008 update on advances in ethical human treatments and research using adult stem cells reveals an amazing array of success stories for patients with little hope until they received adult stem cell transplants. The scorecard is now 73 - 0, with 73 conditions and illnesses successfully treated using adult stem cells and zero with embryonic stem cells.

Here is just one of the personal stories told in this update. Barry Goudy was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in May 1995. According to the update, “In 2003, Barry was accepted into Dr. Richard Burt’s study and received his adult stem cell transplant in July. After 4 months he was able to get back to work symptom free. In 2008, he will celebrate five years of being free of multiple sclerosis symptoms. ‘I look forward to continuing to live an active, productive MS-free lifestyle that includes my work as well as playing racquetball, golf and coaching hockey,’ affirms Barry.”

Other personal stories in the update involve progress with autoimmune disorders, genetic disease, heart tissue regeneration, breast reconstruction, leukemia, organ replacement, and neuroblastoma.

With all of the hype about embryonic stem cell research, it has yet to benefit even one single person in the entire world. In the meantime, quiet research which does not involve the destruction of human life is being conducted every day to benefit fortunate people like Barry Goudy.
