Wednesday, December 5, 2012 | | Robbing Peter to Pay Saul ALL Report Seventy-four organizations receiving money from the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD) are promoting abortion, birth control, homosexuality, and Marxism either directly or through coalitions. But even more shocking is that one of the CCHD's biggest and longest-running recipients of CCHD funds lied directly to CCHD staff in order to cover up its relationship with a pro-homosexual coalition. American Life League, as well as other member organizations of Reform CCHD Now, is demanding that these wayward grantees return grant funds to the USCCB. Watch the latest edition of the ALL Report to learn more.

| HEADLINES |  |  Chelsea Zimmerman [I]s it really progress to go forward with some scientific research when certain ethical concerns arise (such as the destruction of human embryos) that compromise its inherent "goodness" for the future of mankind? "If technical progress is not matched by corresponding progress in man's ethical formation, in man's inner growth (cf. Eph 3:16; 2 Cor 4:16), then it is not progress at all, but a threat for man and for the world." (Spe Salvi, 22) | | |  Renew America During the months leading up to the passage of Obamacare, Sarah Palin was mocked and excoriated for her use of the term "death panels" to describe the comparative effectiveness approach embraced by architects of the legislation. Granted, the phrase sounds a bit hyperbolic, and downright macabre. Who could possibly be in favor of faceless bureaucrats making life and death decisions for the sick and dying? Mrs. Palin was just appealing to the fear and ignorance of America's Bible-thumping, gun-clinging know-nothings in flyover country. Right? A majority of the world's nations employ some kind of single-payer, government-run health care system, and they don't have "death panels." Or do they? | | |  Fox News Women who have a hormone disorder called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and who take the birth control pill have twice the risk of blood clots than do other women on the pill, according to a new study. The three to five percent of women in the U.S. with PCOS have a hormone imbalance, which can lead to irregular periods, extra hair growth and higher risks for being overweight and developing hypertension and diabetes. They are often treated with oral contraceptives, many of whose labels already include warnings about blood clots. A blood clot, also called venous thromboembolism, can be deadly if it spreads to the lungs. | |
