Editor") Dear Friends for Life,Some companies have been called on the carpet for internet porn. Google has a disgusting amount of porn. Making porn available to all ages and the likelihood of many to become addicted to it mandates greater oversight. The vast majority of child molesters admit to viewing porn. Children have easy access to google. Many get addicted to porn and cyber sex like drugs. Why is it necessary for Google to be in the porn business, they don't need the money and its irresponsible. Let your voice be heard. Write to them.God Bless, ******************************************************* ITEM #1: Illegal trade in babies ITEM #3: Report Supports Embryo Genetic Tests In Germany Comment: This should be a good development. However, it will take followup with truly ethical Catholic education. -Nancy Valko, RN Comment: Another attempt to undermine conscience rights. "Life of the mother" is often used as a false scare tactic by abortion rights supporters. For example, treatments for a true medical condition such as the removal of a fallopian tube for an ectopic pregnancy that is causing a medical emergency is not an abortion but rather a medical treatment where the death of the unborn baby is unintended and unavoidable. And I will never forget an article by a female abortionist who states that she considers every abortion a "life of the mother" situation because she felt that childbirth was always riskier than abortion. -Nancy Valko, RN **************************************** Comment: According to even biased polls, the majority of us doctors and nurses refuse to kill our patients. If legalized, euthanasia will eventually force us to participate or refer suicidal patients (or their relatives) to other doctors and nurses who will. We are already seeing conscience rights increasingly being dismantled or undermined as a so-called threat to "patient rights." Then, who will you trust when you want to live but are poor, elderly, disabled or face a life-threatening illness? We must not discriminate when it comes to prevention and treatment for the suicidal. Our humanity itself is at stake. -Nancy Valko, RN **************************************** ITEM #7 Comic-book heroes make daring donations to Japanese youth charities In over 100 separate donations, beginning on Christmas Day itself, people assuming the names of characters from this manga and others have donated valuable school backpacks; school supplies such as pencils and notebooks; money; and sometimes even vegetables and rice. **************************************** ITEM #8: The Question of Discrimination in Same-Sex Marriage **************************************** It is "puzzling" that government policy makers are still pushing the morning-after pill (MAP) on young people, when it has done absolutely nothing to reduce teen pregnancies, Professor David Paton told LifeSiteNews.com today. In fact, he said, the MAP project seems to be making the situation worse by increasing teen rates of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). ITEM #11: France's first genetically-engineered baby bornThe embryo was screened for the disease using pre-implantation genetic diagnosis before being implanted in the womb using in vitro fertilization. ITEM #12: Planned Parenthood deceptionsOver the past week, Live Action has released six videos revealing Planned Parenthood's willingness to aid and abet the sex traffickers of underage girls. The growing body of evidence reveals that Planned Parenthood unequivocally covers up the sex abuse of young victims and is willing to work with the abusers. Our undercover actors could not have said who they were and what they represented more clearly. Planned Parenthood repeatedly looked the other way. It is a federal crime to aid and abet in the trafficking of underage persons. What is a better way to aid and abet a pimp of young girls, then give him all the secret abortions, birth control and the services that a pimp would need to keep his sex slaves on the street?** Pattern Emerges: Three More Virginia Planned Parenthood Clinics Caught On Tape Willing to Aid and Abet Sexual Exploitation of Minors** Top Six Deceptions of Planned Parenthood From Videos of Sex Trafficking** Top 6 Planned Parenthood Lies About The Sex Trafficking Sting That Exposed ThemFor clear thinking about crucial issues, visit LifeIssues.net

The mother laughs continually at the child, the lover laughs continually at the lover, the wife at the husband, the friend at the friend." - G.K. Chesterton****************************************

(Focus on Asia): "End Gendercide in China" - This video makes it simple to share with your family and friends about gendercide. We hope to see it become 'viral' and reach thousands before Valentine's Day. There's lots of ways to share the video: on Facebook, Twitter, your own blog, email or even mobile devices.

Feel free to send Tessa an email with any questions or comments.
Authorities are struggling to control the underground sperm donation to women desperate to become mothers. The internet-based baby-making business has boomed since laws introduced in 2005 banned sperm donors from remaining anonymous.

A Keio University bioethical panel has given the green light to a university research team to create human reproductive cells using induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, it has been learned. Research to create sperm and ova will be the first of its kind in this country since the Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Ministry approved stem cell research in May.

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.
