UPDATING THE STEM CELL WARS (PART I)

4/28/2011

 
As soon as scientists begin discussing the differences between embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and altered nuclear transfer, most non-scientists become overwhelmed by the technicalities and quickly lose their moorings in the ethical and funding debates. This is needless and easily cleared up with a simple analogy.

Suffer the Little Children: Cohabitation and the Abuse of America’s Children

4/28/2011

 
Cohabitation does not serve the “best interest” of children, regardless of what the courts say.In just one month last year, Tyari Smith Sr. of suburban New Orleans shot and killed his 2-year-old son, Tyari Smith Jr., and his girlfriend, Marie Chavez, because she was considering leaving him and heading back home to California. A week later, 4-month-old Aiden Caro was thrown into a couch by his mother’s boyfriend, Samuel Harris, when Harris could not get him to stop crying. Shortly thereafter, the Louisville baby stopped crying forever. The next week, in Gaston, South Carolina, 5-month-old Joshua Dial was shaken by his mother’s boyfriend “in a manner so violent that the baby immediately lost consciousness and suffered severe brain trauma,” according to local police reports. Joshua died soon thereafter.
Are these tragic cases of fatal child abuse around the nation in one month just random expressions of the dark side of the human condition? Not according to a recent federal study of child abuse and neglect, the Fourth National Incidence Study of Child Abuse and Neglect.
This new federal study indicates that these cases are simply the tip of the abuse iceberg in American life.

Youngest surviving premature baby released from hospital

4/23/2011

 
The baby weighed just 460 grams when she born in early November at just 21 weeks and five days, and was not initially expected to survive. The general view of the Association of Neonatology is that babies born before the 22nd week of pregnancy will not live. 
Yet the little girl, called Frieda, now weighs in at a healthy 3,500 grams and is being sent home in Fulda near Frankfurt.

Gender-selection abortions spreading in India

4/23/2011

 
India is a fast-changing country where luxury companies, car makers and cell-phone manufacturers all covet a piece of the growing market. But it’s also a nation with deep-rooted, centuries-old cultural traditions.
Families here have typically pined for a son, to carry on a father’s lineage, contribute to his household’s income and care for his parents as they age. Parents also want a boy because someone with their own last name is required to light their funeral pyre when they are cremated.
For the past four decades, since ultrasound machines were introduced in India, parents desperate for a son to carry on their lineage have had technology on their side, turning a cultural preference into a ruthlessly efficient girl-killing system. If their fetus is female, some mothers opt for an abortion rather than carry to full term.

NOW Prez: “We’re afraid that the Supreme Court might actually take the opportunity to overturn Roe v. Wade”

4/23/2011

 
David Schmidt and Jill Stanek made great observations earlier this week pointing out reports that the abortion industry has yet to challenge strong and innovative new state abortion restrictions, such as Nebraska’s trailblazing fetal pain 20-week abortion ban. The reason, as an insightful and, for pro-lifers, exciting Slate piece argues, is that Roe is fast becoming obsolete in the face of state legislatures emboldened by a friendly Supreme Court. Ironically, the clearest reading of the tea leaves comes from Rachel Maddow and NOW President Terry O’Neill:
Maddow, for all her pro-abort bluster and scare-mongering, is spot-on when it comes to what laws like the Nebraska ban, Ohio’s heartbeat bill, or Personhood amendments mean for the future of abortion in America. The new laws are taking full advantage of ground the Supreme Court ceded to legislatures in Gonzales v. Carhart(2007). And the abortion industry and their fellow travelers are terrified of challenging these laws because the Roberts Court, unafraid to question precedent, may be ready to forsake slowly pounding nails into Roe‘s coffin and instead drive a stake through its black, black heart:

Planned Parenthood Holds Back on Challenging Wave of Anti-Abortion Bills

4/23/2011

 
Despite a wave of late-term abortion restrictions being signed into law in state capitals, advocacy groups like Planned Parenthood so far have held back on filing any legal challenges. 
The hesitation could be a sign that the groups are concerned about their chances in court. The new proposals would ban most abortions after about 20 weeks into pregnancy, narrowing the window in which a woman can seek an abortion, based on claims that a fetus can feel pain after that period. Though these proposals are seen by pro-choice advocates as an assault on reproductive rights, the litigation hasn't started flying.

Papa John’s, Huggies, others pull Wonkette ads after Trig-bashing post

4/23/2011

 
A popular pizza chain, a top diaper company and several other companies have vowed to pull advertising from a major liberal blog after it ran a post mocking former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s three-year-old son Trig, who has Down syndrome.
A Fox News article Thursday reported the announcements by Papa John’s pizza and Huggies diapers in the wake of a post on Trig’s birthday April 18 entitled “Greatest Living American: A Children’s Treasury of Trig Crap On His Birthday.”
In the post, Wonkette’s Jack Stuef mocked the boy as “retarded” and the product of incest.
Dana Loesch of Andrew Breitbart’s Big Journalism has been keeping track of Twitter responses to the offending post, and lists numerous other companies that have also responded by saying they will pull their ads.
They include the Vanguard Group, Holland America Cruises, Nordstrom, Bob Evans Farms, Reliant Energy, DealSwarm, Coldwell Banker and J. Jill.

WINDSOR, Ontario, April 21, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Baby Joseph and his family arrived in Windsor, Ontario on a medical transport flight from St. Louis, Missouri this morning. He is now at the family home, according to Brother Paul O’Donnell.

Fetus Found Outside Of Central El Paso Abortion Clinic

4/23/2011

 
EL PASO, Texas -- The remains of a fetus were turned over to El Paso police when a group of people outside the Hilltop Women's Reproductive Clinic on Friday morning.
El Paso police told KFOX14 they were called to the scene around 11:45 a.m. after a prayer group reported finding the remains of a fetus near a dumpster.
Police investigators told KFOX-14 the fetus appears to be between 9 and 12 weeks old. Because of the young age, police spokesman Mike Baranyay told KFOX-14 the department would not investigate.
