Bush's Morning After 'Election' Pill
FDA likely to approve Plan B pill over the counter
The Bush administration is likely to reverse its recent decision on a controversial emergency contraceptive and make it available over the counter this year, a key House Republican said. After meeting last week with Steven Galson, acting director of the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Rep. James Greenwood (R-Pa.) said he is very confident the agency will make the contraceptive Plan B available over the counter in 2004. Carol Cox, spokeswoman for Barr Pharmaceuticals, said that she was optimistic the FDA will change its policy but that she believes any such decision will probably not be made in 2004. She said the company hopes to submit a new request to the agency within a month, noting that the FDA then has six months to make a decision.

"Under the Bush administration over 4,500 American babies are slaughtered everyday. By shedding innocent blood G.W. Bush has defiled his office and abrogated his authority! He is a murderer! It is a monstrous lie perpetrated by devils suggesting this blood guilty man is "pro-life." Instead of calling the murderer to repentance through Jesus Christ, it is a great shame upon Christians voting for the damned!"

Bush's After 'Election' Stem Cell Policy
Senate Vote on Stem Cell Policy Not Likely
WASHINGTON -- Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Monday it is unlikely the Senate will vote this year to relax Bush administration rules on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research, despite widespread support in the Senate. Frist, a heart-lung transplant surgeon, did not express his own views on the topic but said stem cell research was too sensitive a matter to confront so close to the November elections.

Bush Administration Pushes First National Stem-Cell Bank
WASHINGTON -- The government plans to open a "national bank" to better grow the only embryonic stem cells eligible for government-funded research, holding firm against critics who want Bush administration restrictions on the controversial cells lifted. In addition, the National Institutes of Health plans to spend $18 million over four years to establish three "centers of excellence" to speed research on the currently available cell lines. "The president's embryonic stem cell policy holds tremendous and yet-untapped potential," Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson wrote in a letter to be sent to members of Congress on Wednesday. "Before anyone can argue that the stem cell policy should be broadened, we must first exhaust the potential" of currently available lines.

Bush's RU-486 distribution
Groups Renew Pressure to Bar RU-486
RU-486 has become a renewed target for influential pressure groups who want the Food and Drug Administration to suspend its use. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the pills in September 2000. Under the brand name Mifeprex, the pills are distributed by the New York-based Danco Laboratories LLC and sold only to doctors or other clinicians who are trained in their usage. They are now available through doctors' offices or clinics in every state. Since 2000, 280,000 women in the United States have made the choice to have nonsurgical abortions in the first seven to nine weeks of pregnancy.

Bush allows nationwide distribution of RU-486
In 2001 the Bush administration allowed the nationwide distribution and use of RU-486 under each States' existing abortion laws. RU-486 was approved under President Clinton and is being distributed by George W. Bush -- the biggest baby murdering President in the history of the United States.

Abortion rate rises during Bush administration
Dallas Baptist Standard WASHINGTON -- A new statistical analysis by an evangelical seminary professor suggests the abortion rate has risen under abortion opponent President Bush, after falling for years under his pro-choice predecessor, Bill Clinton. Glen Stassen, a trained statistician and ethics professor at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, Calif., wrote an article for the Sojourners magazine website and other media outlets detailing his research. "When President Bush took office, the nation's abortion rates were at a 24-year low, after a 17.4 percent decline during the 1990s," he wrote. "This was an average decrease of 1.7 percent per year, mostly during the latter part of the decade.

Bush affirms No 'Litmus Test' for Judges
The Associated Press & News 14 Carolina, NC (7/7/2004) -- President Bush wrapped up his visit to Raleigh on Wednesday. He told reporters that he picks judicial nominees who are willing to "faithfully interpret" the law. But then he denies giving them any kind of "litmus test" on controversial issues like abortion [or even for the crime of sodomy].

We are accountable to God for our voting decisions
On Nov. 2, we do not have the opportunity to cast piece-meal votes on individual issues. We vote for a candidate and for all that he promises to do. Regardless of what issues attract you to a candidate, when you cast a vote for a politician, you are acting to authorize him to govern and implement his campaign promises. If you vote for a candidate who has stated he will keep abortion legal, then you are participating in the legalization of abortion. Therefore, you incur moral guilt for the slaying of unborn children. Moral voters, especially Christian voters, should bear that we are accountable before God for our votes. John Kerry states he "will support only pro-choice judges to the Supreme Court." John Edwards told abortion activists he would "help lead fight."

The Only Pro-Life President
He will call abortion illegal and immoral,
he will call it what it is - murder.
By Pastor David Whitney
Many Americans have successfully been deceived into believing Bush is pro-life. The evidence is against that fact. I have the distinct impression that he was without any real interest in the goals of the movement to end abortion. What is that evidence? Here it is. We've been told that the Partial Birth Abortion Ban signed by Bush proves that he is pro-life. That is a flat out lie. Actually it proves the opposite.

Like sheep to the slaughter
Bush draws more black support because
of his stance against abortion?
Since Planned Parenthood has gotten away with lying to the Christian black community for all these years, it appears the baby murdering Republican Party thinks it can get away with lying to these Christians as well.
Some recent polls show President Bush increasing his share of the black vote in 2004, both in Florida and across the country. And the venues where he is gaining support are specifically black churches. "We support him because of his stance against gay marriage and abortion," said Donald Foy, 57, an elder at the Potter's House Christian Fellowship, a large black Jacksonville congregation, but a decidedly conservative one. "We're convinced God would want us to vote against gay marriage and abortion."

Voting With Bloody Hands For Bush or Kerry
It is commonly held that GWBush is the pro-life candidate in comparison to Kerry being the acknowledged choice of the pro-abortion camp. The salient question should be… Have the actions and positions taken by GWBush disqualified him from being considered pro-life? There are numerous sources detailing that GWBush is not a pro-life candidate.

Choose Liberty over "Sustainable Development"
The red states from the 2000 election are made up of the desperate Americans who rushed to the polls hoping to get a breath of fresh air - a champion to turn these smothering policies around. But in four years, other than throwing a few bones on roadless areas, President Bush has yet to undo a single Clinton Executive Order on Sustainable Development. It's still the official policy of the United States government. ... The system has been set up with the help of groups like the Sierra Club, the National Education Association, and Planned Parenthood, to name a few.

Record of Pro-Life George W. Bush
Compared With Pro-Choice Bill Clinton
Christian Gallery News Service
Recently a Christian, Father Peter West, submitted a list of President George W. Bush’s pro-life accomplishments over the last four years. His purpose was to demonstrate why people who care about unborn babies should vote for George W. Bush rather than John Kerry for President. ... Here is why I was moved to write this response to Father West’s list: I compared the list submitted by Father West with a list of accomplishments made by President Bill Clinton during his eight years in office and that comparison leads to an incontrovertible conclusion that sheds much light on the present condition of life in America: Both President Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush were responsible for saving exactly the same number of unborn babies from legalized slaughter: Zero.

Dysfunctional Pro-Lifers
Like dogs returning to their vomit, pro-lifers
line up behind Republican candidates.
Forgetting the betrayals of the past 4 years, like dogs returning to their vomit, pro-lifers line up behind the Republican candidate. President Bush's budget request for the domestic population control program, Title X of the Public Health Service Act, is $278,300,000 for fiscal year 2005.

NARAL Pro-choice America says today it is supporting his Democratic challenger, Joe Hoeffel. NARAL interim president Elizabeth Cavendish says Specter's votes to confirm conservative judicial nominees and to fund abstinence programs nullify his claim that he supports abortion rights.

The Pennsylvania Treason
I have often asserted that, for the pro-life movement, the only practical distinction between the Democrat and Republican parties is that one is an enemy who will stab us in the chest and the other is a friend who will stab us in the back. Tuesday's Republican primary in Pennsylvania proved my point. President George W. Bush personally rushed to Pennsylvania and implored Republicans to get behind the candidacy of ... Arlen Specter. Equally amazing, Pennsylvania's other senator, Rick Santorum, also chose to walk away from his long-espoused pro-life principles. He joined Bush on the campaign trail and urged voters to defeat the pro-life challenger... Through their participation in The Pennsylvania Treason, the Republican Party, George Bush and Rick Santorum have lost the right to ever again ask for the support of pro-lifers.

Bush's FDA Weighs Morning-After Pill for Teens
Barry Pharmaceuticals has submitted a second proposal to sell its deadly drug the Morning-After Pill over-the-counter to people 16 and older. On July 13, 2004 the House greased the skids for the FDA to approve over-the-counter sells by quietly attaching an amendment to the Agriculture Appropriations bill (HR 4766). The amendment passed unanimously by voice vote. With the Agriculture bill now in the Senate the pharmaceutical company feels confident the baby murdering FDA will make a decision after this election cycle sometime early next year.

WASHINGTON -- Two Food and Drug Administration advisory committees Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to allow the sale without prescription of an emergency contraceptive commonly known as a morning-after pill. The advisory panels' 23-to-4 vote is not binding, but puts pressure on the FDA to back the proposal, which it will take up in February. There's no date for final FDA action. The country's largest gynecologists' group, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, estimates that the move could cut in half the 3 million U.S. unwanted pregnancies each year.

The "Morning After" Pill:
Another Republican Sponsored Disaster!
The "morning after" pill is called "Preven," and according to the manufacturer, has the potential to produce serious side effects including blood clotting, chest pain, coughing of blood, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, vomiting, dizziness, disturbance of vision or speech, etc. Can you imagine any other medication with such risks being approved for over-the-counter sales? However, the worst part of Preven is that it terminates an early pregnancy. By preventing the fertilized egg from attaching itself to the wall of the fallopian tube, Preven aborts a newly conceived baby. If the Bush administration allows Preven to be purchased without a prescription, can you imagine the numbers of babies that will be aborted? The numbers would be incalculable!

GOP Led House Passes Birth-Control Bill
House passes bill to make abortifacent birth-control easier for public to access -- Bill will lead to over-the-counter morning after pills
The House of Representatives approved a move Thursday night July 15, that could smooth the way to over-the-counter use of emergency contraceptives like Plan B (morning after pills). Lawmakers unanimously passed a measure barring the FDA from keeping any contraceptive off the over-the-counter market once the agency has found it to be "safe and effective." While the bill does not specifically mention the controversial emergency contraceptive known as Plan B morning after pill, supporters were quick to point to the product as their motivation for pushing the vote. Next, the Senate must vote on the bill, and then President Bush must sign the bill, which would be necessary for it to become law.

Bush's Global Family Planning Program
Bush Administration Agrees to
Global Family Planning Program
UNITED NATIONS -- The Bush administration says it supports a United Nations' plan to ensure women's rights are upheld when it comes to reproduction, as long as the document doesn't promote abortion as an option. Earlier, the U-S refused to join 85 other governments in signing a statement of support for the so-called "Cairo plan." But, Thursday, an ambassador indicated strong support from Washington, once he received repeated assurances the plan would not promote abortion. The "Cairo plan" was drafted with the help of former President Clinton. It states that abortion should not be used as a method of family planning (An Exercise in Doublespeak), but that it shouldn't be treated as a crime, either.[?] (Sounds like Nation Right to Life Committee: National Right to Life says this is not a good time to pass an abortion ban, Also read: Bush's abortion funding, Dysfunctional Pro-Lifers, Bush's Moral Bankruptcy)

The State as Serial Killer
If one person kills another, he is a murderer. If he kills 100, he is a monster. But if he kills 10,000, he is a hero. And the only way one can become this type of "hero" is through the agency of the State. The victims of the worst serial killer in the world are but a drop in a lake compared to the political victims of Mao Tse Tung, Pol Pot, Stalin and Hitler. They are still but a drop compared to the victims of Lincoln, Wilson, and FDR. They're a drop compared to what Bush has done, and to the murders that will be committed by those who come after him. The State is the worst serial killer in the world. ... It's astonishing so many people see the State as a good thing. It's almost a form of insanity, if insanity is defined by that old joke: "Trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result."

Senators confirmed President Bush's choice by voice vote and no debate. At a Senate committee hearing Thursday, McClellan seemingly did little to satisfy lawmakers who want the administration to reverse itself and let Americans buy prescription drugs entering the country from Canada and elsewhere. McClellan did not commit to supporting legalized importation of drugs. But he pledged to work with senators who are developing legislation to address safety issues, such as giving the FDA more money for drug inspections, that McClellan and other government officials have identified.

The Deafening Silence about RU-486
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the 2000 elections, it’s that the pro-life movement has been hoodwinked by the Republican Establishment. Essentially, it has been told to live with the hope, but not with the promise, that the Republican leadership will remain true to a pro-life platform that President Bush now treats like an embarrassment.

Abortion group’s radio ads under fire for political tone
WASHINGTON -- A Bush administration lawyer on Monday urged the Supreme Court to reject a Wisconsin anti-abortion group’s effort to run ads that criticize Democrats. A 2002 campaign finance law restricts election-time commercials. Paul Clement, the acting solicitor general, said in a filing on behalf of the Federal Election Commission that many groups would want to get around the law’s restrictions. “Granting the injunction would invite an enforcement nightmare in the immediate run up to a national election and undermine the effectiveness of Congress’ carefully considered and recently upheld restrictions on corporate electioneering,” he wrote. The Supreme Court has upheld the law, which bans certain interest group ads 30 days before the primary and 60 days before the general election. Feingold helped write the law.

From 1994-2000, USAID provided 41,967,200 units of Depo-Provera into the developing world, at a cost of over US $40 million. Even the Reuters newswire story included a sober note on the implications for foreign depopulation programmes in Africa.

Again and again, President G. W. Bush has betrayed the pro-life cause. The latest example is his push for $15 billion in U.S. tax dollars to be sent to Africa for A.I.D.S prevention. According to British sources, "President George W. Bush dismissed a bid by conservative Christians to restrict his $15 billion foreign initiative to fight A.I.D.S. to only those programs that reject abortion and promote abstinence." In other words, Bush proposes to send federal dollars to those organizations that promote abortion and promiscuity.

Bush Administration considers FDA Condom Warning
WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration is considering requiring warning labels on condom packages noting that the contraceptive devices do not protect users from all sexually transmitted diseases. The FDA "has developed a regulatory plan to provider condom users with a consistent labeling message and the protection they should expect from condom use," Dr. Daniel G. Schultz, director of the agency's Office of Device Evaluation, said Thursday. The agency "is preparing new guidance on condom labeling to address these issues," Schultz told members of a House Government Reform subcommittee.

Biohazard Bags, Buckets and Babies
The passage of the federal Born Alive Infants Protection Act in 2002 has apparently not deterred doctors from leaving live aborted babies to die without medical intervention - because they have not been told about BAIPA. The nurse I spoke with by phone worked at a late term abortion clinic chain on Florida’s west coast. She described wanton barbarism, on par with Nazi Germany’s Dr. Mangele: I saw a lot of babies born alive…. Dr. X said that was a side effect of a medication. They always said to leave the baby alone, and they would stop breathing…. Two hours was the longest I saw a baby live…. One girl was 26-27 weeks….

They put the babies in red biohazard bags when they were still moving… tied the bag up… put them in a biohazard box. The biohazard medical service would pick boxes up Monday and Thursday.

Dr. X would insert the medication and send the women home. They were told to come back the next day.

There was one incident where the woman had the baby while she was waiting at the door for the clinic to open. She got there a 7a. The clinic opened at 8a. She said the baby was born alive. The baby was now dead, and she was holding the baby in a bag. She was bleeding.

I was in the room when Dr. X gave the digoxin to stop that baby’s heartbeat beforehand. [Digoxin is a medication inserted by needle through a mother’s abdomen into a baby’s heart to cause instant cardiac arrest.]

Well, he didn’t have an ultrasound machine that day. He inserted the needle blindly. He said he’d been doing it so many years, he knew the location. But he didn’t actually know if he hit the heart.

I know this nurse Bridget. She was working there when the new doctor held a baby under water in a bucket when she told him the baby was alive. That baby was between 25-26 weeks. Bridget left two months ago because of that.

I left because I got tired of everything going on and the fact Dr. X would coach women into saying they were going to kill themselves if they didn’t abort. Then he said he had a legal right to do it past viability. He did them all the way to 40 weeks.

First Degree Murder: Premeditated
[A]lthough it varies from state to state, it is generally a killing which is deliberate and premeditated (planned). The specific criteria for first degree murder, are established by statute in each state and by the U.S. Code in federal prosecutions. It is distinguished from second degree murder in which premeditation is usually absent, and from manslaughter, which lacks premeditation and suggests that at most there was intent to harm rather than to kill.

The Born-Alive Infants Protection Act
H.R. 2175, the `Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2001,' was designed to repudiate the pernicious and destructive ideas that have brought the born-alive rule into question, and to firmly establish that, for purposes of Federal law.

An overwhelming number of conservative Christians believe that George W. Bush is a pro-life president. After all, he cut off funding to organizations that promote abortion, didn't he? Well, not quite. Financial support that previously went to the United Nations Population Fund has been diverted to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Bush's budget for fiscal year 2005 earmarks $8.8 billion for USAID, $425 million of which is going to "family and reproductive health programs."

Stars and Stripes: Military Abortions
Proposed amendment would have Defense Department pay for abortions in cases of rape and incest
Stars and Stripes
ARLINGTON, Va. -- Sexual assault victims advocate Christine Hansen wants to see female troops, especially those deployed to combat zones under the Bush administration, have the same access to reproductive health — from contraception to abortion — as any other American woman. According to the Pentagon’s Care for Victims of Sexual Assaults, a committee formed by the Bush administration after reports of rapes and sexual assaults by troops in Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan, there were 901 reported cases of sexual assault in 2002, and 1,012 in 2003 throughout the military. Of those, 118 (24 in 2002 and 94 in 2003) were reported from the Central Command area of responsibility, which includes Iraq, Kuwait and Afghanistan. Still more attacks have been reported to the Miles Foundation, (Miles Foundation blasts Defense Department`s sexual assault report) an organization that provides services to victims of violence associated with the military, said Hansen, the group’s executive director. Under current law, abortions are permitted only in three cases: when the mother’s life is in danger, and in cases of rape or incest, and with the latter two, the woman must pay for the procedure. In March, Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, co-wrote an amendment to the Defense Authorization spending bill that would have the Defense Department pay for abortions in cases of rape or incest. The measure made it into the Senate version of the bill, but not the House of Representatives. In September, lawmakers will begin hashing out the differences.

7 U.S. presidents since Roe v. Wade

Q. Since Roe v. Wade, which presidents used their constitutional power to issue an Executive Order outlawing abortion?

Richard Nixon, R, (1969-74) No.
Gerald Ford, R, (1974-77) No.
Jimmy Carter, D, (1977-81) No.
Ronald Reagan, R, (1981-89) No.
George H.W. Bush, R, (1989-93) No.
Bill Clinton, D, (1993-2001) No.
George W. Bush, R, (2001-present) No.

Five Republican presidents and two Democrat presidents have all promoted or maintained the murder of innocents human beings while in office. It is a blatant lie to suggest anyone of these presidents are 'pro-life' when they failed to use the power of Executive Order to outlaw the murder of children by abortion.

Executive Orders Defined
An Executive Order (EO) is a directive issued to executive-level agencies, department heads, or other employees from the President under the President's statutory, or constitutional powers. In many ways, the EO is similar to written orders, or instructions the president of a corporation might send to department heads or directors. Thirty days after it is officially published in the Federal Register, an EO becomes law. While the EO does bypass the U.S. Congress and the standard legislative law making process, no part of an EO may be illegal or unconstitutional. The first EO was issued in 1789 by none other than George Washington. Not until 1907 were EOs given official numbers.

Constitutional Authority for Executive Orders
Article II, section 1 of the Constitution reads, in part, "The executive power shall be vested in a president of the United States of America." And, Article II, section 3 asserts that, "The President shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed..." Since the Constitution does not specifically define executive power, critics of Executive Orders argue that these two passages do not imply Constitutional authority. But, Presidents of the United States since George Washington have argued that they do.

Michael A. Peroutka: "I am 100% pro-life,
all nine months, no exceptions."
"In fact, I am so pro-life, that if elected I promise that abortion will end my first day in office. As President, I would advocate a total ban on all abortions and a total ban on any federal funding of abortions, here or abroad. As President, I would do everything in my power to end the national disgrace of abortion, starting with a formal acknowledgment of the legal person-hood of every child from the moment of conception.

Bush's Stem-Cell Policy

Bush Administration Pushes First National Stem-Cell Bank WASHINGTON -- The government plans to open a "national bank" to better grow the only embryonic stem cells eligible for government-funded research, holding firm against critics who want Bush administration restrictions on the controversial cells lifted. In addition, the National Institutes of Health plans to spend $18 million over four years to establish three "centers of excellence" to speed research on the currently available cell lines. "The president's embryonic stem cell policy holds tremendous and yet-untapped potential," Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson wrote in a letter to be sent to members of Congress on Wednesday. "Before anyone can argue that the stem cell policy should be broadened, we must first exhaust the potential" of currently available lines.

What’s Wrong With the Pro-Life Movement
Pro-life support for Mr. Bush is creating more threats to the structure of constitutional government than even Roe v. Wade. ... The pro-life movement seems to be committed to gauging its influence by endorsements it gets from national political celebrities, but time has proven that those platitudes won’t stop babies from being killed. The movement’s support for the current president might even help to finish the work of destroying the U.S. Constitution that was so hideously forwarded by Roe.

U.S. Military Abortions
Critics want military abortion rules changed
One of President Bill Clinton's first acts after taking office in 1993 was to lift a ban on abortions at U.S. military hospitals, giving servicewomen access to a procedure that had been available to civilians for 20 years. Two years later, the new Republican-controlled Congress reinstituted the ban, which remains in effect today as scores of soldiers become pregnant on the battlefield. Now, with lengthy deployments in a military that is 15 percent female and with revelations of sexual assault (fornication, torture and sadomasochism) in the armed forces under the Bush administration, critics say it's time for a change.

Bush/Kerry Both Anti-Life
In principle, there is no difference between President Bush and Kerry/Edwards on Federally-funded human embryonic stem cell research. Mr. Bush and Kerry/Edwards are just arguing about "the price" to be paid. They agree on Federal-funding of this hideous, grotesque, anti-life research. They differ only as to how many dead, innocent, unborn human beings ought to be the victims of this "research." As noted, Kerry has said, regarding this barbaric human embryonic stem cell research idea, that we must say yes to "knowledge" and "discovery." Well, I agree, but in a very different way. What Mr. Bush and Kerry/Edwards need to have "knowledge" of and "discover" is that human embryos are --- every one of them --- innocent human beings made in the image of God. Thus, they cannot be killed for any reason! If I am elected President, I will do everything within my Constitutional power to see that there will be no research of any kind, funded by anybody, on human embryos.

Bush and Abortion
If George Barna is to be believed, 86% of evangelicals will cast a vote for George Bush in November. Barna’s data was recently confirmed by Ralph Zallow writing in the Washington Times. He wrote that Kerry and Edwards are “losing ground to President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney among white evangelicals.” ... When I’ve asked my Christian brothers and sisters why they intend to vote for Bush there is usually some innocuous statement about Bush being a “man of faith” and adhering to “Christian principles.” They say that he is a man of “integrity” and humility” and that he is honest.

Approximately halfway between the February 26, 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center in New York, engineered by the famous "blind sheik," Egyptian Omar Abdel-Rahman, and the April 19, 1995 truck-bombing of the Federal Murrah building in Oklahoma City, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno established, in August 1994, a secret, and probably illegal, computer database known as VAAPCON, the Violence Against Abortion Providers Conspiracy. ... Throughout the eight years of the Clinton regime, and continuing through the presidency of George W. Bush, a steady drumbeat of media propaganda has demonized America’s pro-life citizens as "terrorists," as a succession of executive, judicial, and legislative acts was issued to monitor them (as VAAPCON), and restrict their free speech activities.

``THE BIG SHOW"
U.S. Appeals Abortion Ban Injunction
Just in time for Bush's campaign swing to make a fresh appeal Roman Catholic voters
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Bush administration on Monday appealed a federal judge's June order blocking enforcement of a federal ban on a type of abortion. U.S. District Judge Phyllis Hamilton, in a challenge brought in San Francisco by Planned Parenthood Federation of America, ruled the ban was an unconstitutional limitation on a woman's right to choose. The law, which President Bush signed in November, is aimed at stopping a procedure, usually performed during the second trimester of pregnancy, in which a fetus is partly delivered, its skull punctured and its brain removed, often by suction. (Bush sets out on campaign swing through the nation's heartland; Bush to speak to Knights of Columbus in Dallas)

Partial-Birth Ban of No Effect
The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act only applies to a "living fetus" -- and there is nothing in the Act to prevent abortionists from killing viable late term babies in the womb first! If the "fetus" is killed before being pulled out of the womb then the "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act" is moot!

Hitler's Cross: The Revealing Story of How the Cross of Christ Was Used As a Symbol of the Nazi Agenda
Book Review: Although the power by which he hypnotized an entire nation is legendary, one question in particular begs an answer: Where was the church of Christ? Seduced by the Satanic majesty of The Fuhrer, church leaders throughout Germany allowed the Swastika a prominent place alongside the Christian cross in their sanctuaries. Nationalistic pride replaced the call of God to purity, and with few exceptions the German church looked away while Adolph Hitler implemented his "Final Solution." In this book, Erwin W. Lutzer examines the lessons that may be learned from studying the deception of the church: the dangers of confusing church and state, and how the church lost its focus... ."

The Death Camps tour looks at the history of holocaust. By comparing Germany's Nazi holocaust and America's abortion holocaust you'll see there is practically no difference between the mindset of holocaust then and now.

What's It Going To Take?
What's it going to take before the truly God-fearing, those genuinely concerned about how many dead babies this country disposes of each day, get that George W. Bush fooled'em once and is on target to fool 'em again?
I often joke that loyalists to King George W. Bush could watch him assault a nun on TV and somehow find a reason to excuse his behavior- like they do now- after each new piece of damning information that shows the current president to be inept and blatantly dishonest. What's it going to take before the base that elected Bush 43 figures it out. Some point to Bush being a "Pro-life" president. They're wrong there, too. Bush is a pro-abortion president if ever there was one. For those who still labor under the delusion that they're supporting a man who supports the unborn, dig this: Bush said four years ago he would not outlaw abortion through a human life amendment. He could have but he didn't. Bush recently made it clear he would not use abortion as a litmus test for his judicial appointments. Why not? And since the G.O.P. controls both houses why can't the guy get his judges confirmed?

Bush’s $15 Billion Abortion / AIDS Initiative
President George W. Bush’s $15 billion, five-year AIDS initiative took a beating recently at the 15th International AIDS Conference in Thailand. For starters, the United States is taking a shamelessly unilateralist approach to dispensing its largesse, preferring to dole out assistance to 15 stricken nations like a neighborhood don at Christmastime rather than risk losing some PR by sending the money to a more effective global effort, namely the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

Bush Backs Condom Use
PHILADELPHIA -- President George W. Bush has said for the first time that the United States should endorsed the use of condoms to prevent its spread of AIDS, an important issue among conservative groups that have fought the adoption of a U.S. Condom Policy -- strategy that does not focus on abstinence.

Bush Approves $5.6 Billion BioShield Bill
WASHINGTON -- President Bush on Wednesday signed legislation to develop and stockpile vaccines and other antidotes to chemical and germ attacks. The legislation, called Project BioShield, provides the drug industry with incentives to research and develop bioterrorism countermeasures. Federal health officials also hope that the $5.6 billion program will provide antidotes for botulism and anthrax, a safer smallpox vaccine and a long-awaited children’s version of an anti-radiation pill. U.S. officials are hoping that Project BioShield will yield enough new-generation anthrax vaccine to dose 25 million people.

Smallpox Vaccine Has the Pox
BioShield Bill turns Pharmaceuticals into BioWeapons Factories
Looking at Bush's Smallpox Vaccination program reveals the kind of unscientific and fraudulent thinking on the part of the pharmaceuticals that leads to these kinds of death and injury rates. When the program began, Bush called for vaccination of 500,000 health care workers, the so-called "first responders" to a possible biological attack of smallpox.

Communist Vietnam looks to Bush for AIDS funding
CAN THO, Vietnam - Displaying a model of a naked man is not the sort of thing polite women do in the Mekong Delta. But when it comes to fighting AIDS, Anh Thu believes in the direct approach. ``This is the way we put a condom on,'' said the 26-year-old health worker, holding up a lifelike wooden model matter-of-factly. ``Watch me.''

Has “the Lesser of Two Evils” Become Too Evil?
When initially faced with the evidence of George W. Bush’s betrayal of some of their conservative ideals, the conservative will enter a phase of denial. Since the media portrays George Bush as a Bible-thumping Christian conservative, it must be true, they presume. If they are innocently ignorant, it is easy to prove that Bush has betrayed their conservative ideals. The evidence is overwhelming to the open mind. Rarely, however, do they change their allegiance to President Bush at this point. They might admit the fact that Bush has not upheld their conservative ideals in some areas, but they almost always resort to the conservative’s default defense of the Republican candidate: “But he’s the ‘lesser of two evils’.”
