The Hidden Agenda behind the Stem Cell Debate
It may provide a cure for cancer, brain tumors, diabetes, Cushing’s syndrome, infertility, hypertension, endometriosis, ulcers and even AIDS.
These bold claims were made in the late 1980s and early 1990s, not on behalf of embryonic stem cell research, but for the abortion pill RU-486 or Mifepristone. The left – more specifically the abortion/feminist lobby – boldly asserted that this deadly drug could be the cure for everything from ingrown toenails to aging, all for the purpose of getting our government to lift the import ban on the chemical abortion pill.
Funny thing, after the Clinton FDA approved RU-486 for abortions, we stopped hearing about the “possible” beneficial uses of the drug. For the record: Mifepristone has not completed clinical trials for any of these other uses. Read the rest of this entry »
Ms. Mistakes
Angry feminists are out waving wire coat hangers again. In its latest issue, Ms. Magazine has a picture of one bent into the shape of South Dakota. In November, residents of the Mount Rushmore state will vote on an initiative to remove a law that bans most abortions there. The wire coat hanger would be a much better symbol for the feminist brain, more air than substance.Ms. went trolling for women who had abortions, who were willing to come forward and say they are proud of their decisions. The magazine plans to send the list to legislative bodies across the nation and to the president. Read the rest of this entry »
Have They No Shame?
Last Thursday, the FDA announced that it has approved over-the-counter sales for “Plan B,” the morning-after pill, which is essentially a mega-dose of the drugs found in birth control pills.
Birth control pills require a doctor’s prescription because they can cause life-threatening problems for women with certain health conditions. A prescription assures that a woman buying birth control pills has been screened to make sure that these pills don’t harm her health or take her life. That is being responsible.
Making mega-doses of this drug available over-the-counter, without a prescription, is not only irresponsible; it is unconscionable! Read the rest of this entry »
The President’s “Plan B”
Everybody needs a “plan B” in case “plan A” doesn’t work. However, few would come up with a plan B that could cause serious harm.Unfortunately, the “Plan B” that Andrew von Eschenbach, President Bush’s nominee to head the Food and Drug Administration, now wants sold over-the-counter to prevent pregnancy could cause serious medical complications for some women. That makes von Eschenbach completely unqualified to lead one of the agencies charged with safeguarding the nation’s health. Read the rest of this entry »
Supreme Court to open window to the Womb
Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in all 50 states, for any reason during the full nine months of pregnancy, is on a collision course with science. When the 1973 court handed down that infamous decision, it overlooked the most important issue: when life begins.
Since there was no window to the womb, seven of the nine justices felt perfectly free to classify pre-born children to be non-persons, property of the mother that could be discarded at will.
During the last 33 years, technology has given us that window through ultrasound and fiber optics. Not only can we view these tiny humans, doctors can treat them in utero, performing lifesaving surgery on their miniature patients. Others study the growth and behavior of these babies as they develop and have made startling discoveries. Read the rest of this entry »
