DEACON FOR LIFE

Were there to be no support in the whole history of ethical and moral thought, were there no acknowledged confirmation from medical science, were the history of legal opinion to the contrary, we would still have to conclude on the basis of God's Holy Word that the unborn child is a person in the sight of God. He is protected by the sanctity of life graciously given to each individual by the Creator, Who alone places His image upon man and grants them any right to life which they have.

Sen. Barbara Boxer introduces bill requiring federal government to promote use of “emergency contraception”

Of course this only makes for more abortions, but these people are either blind to the facts or don't care. Deacon John

Free PR for the morning-after pill

California Sen. Barbara Boxer, along with eight other colleagues, has quietly introduced a bill that would require the director of the federal Centers for Disease Control to widely publicize the so-called "morning-after pill," a drug used to induce chemical abortions.

The bill, S. 2108, titled the "Emergency Contraception Education Act of 2007," was formally introduced on Sept. 27. It was read twice on the floor of the Senate, then referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, where it remains today.

Co-sponsors, in addition to Boxer, include senators Hillary Clinton, D-NY, Patty Murray, D-WA, Max Baucus, D-MT, Maria Cantwell, D-WA, Christopher Dodd, D-CT, Daniel Inouye, D-HI, John Kerry, D-MA, and Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ.
