Getting Our Facts Straight
Here's a relatively neutral summary of the stem cell debate that even the liberal gadflies in Evangelical Outpost's comment boxes approve of.
The New York Times, known for it's painfully obvious liberal bias, has surprised me by publishing an even-handed, if a bit skimpy, appraisal of Bush and Kerry campaign statements regarding stem cell research.
Disenfranchised
I definitely sympathize with Democrats for Life.
"A Zogby poll showed 40 percent of self-declared Democrats say they oppose abortion."
How many Demcratic politicians are pro-life? I doubt it’s 40%. I’d be surprised if it’s as high as 4%.
Fraternity Catholicism
“Today, Catholics are so blinded by one issue that they don’t see their chance
to make history again.”
Somebody needs to tell David
McCarthy (Pitt News) that the Catholic Church isn’t merely a sports team one roots for.
To vote for someone just because they are a self-professed Catholic is irresponsible
even when the person demonstrates informed obedience to Catholic moral teachings.
Kerry doesn’t even have that going for him.
Pro-life Candidates in Pennsylvania
Regardless of one's take on the presidential election, there are other important posts up for election this November, including the race for senator, where pro-lifers are running. In the case of the Senate, Jim Clymer is running for Spectre's seat, and I will gladly vote for him over one of the biggest advocates for embryonic research anywhere in the federal government.

Go Clymer!
