There’s a glimmer of hope that there might soon be room for pro-life candidates in the Democratic Party.
Democrats at a Crossroads Over Abortion, Activists Won’t Compromise
Putting ‘Life’ Back Into the Democratic Party
As a fringe benefit, rabidly pro-choice members and supporters of the party might go Green – a boost for “third party” politics.
Green Party Says It’s Boosted by Democrat Compromise on Abortion
I’ve already blogged
about the pro-life
wristbands, but since the Walk for Life is coming up, I thought I’d remind people
and inform newcomers from Blog
Explosion and elsewhere.
Wear this PROLIFE wristband to boldly display the message that you Pro-Life! This royal blue wristband/bracelet is made of durable silicone rubber and costs only $1.
In late 2004, Maria and Jeff Geerling were researching ways to get the Pro-Life message out to the public in a new, strong way. They created T-Shirts and Bumper Stickers (in limited quantities) with a strong Pro-Life message, and now they have designed PROLIFE wristbands.
bLogicus has a few posts on recent advances in adult stem cell technology, namely that some Taiwanese scientists have isolated stem cells from placentas, that rats injected with human umbilical cord stem cells after having heart attacks regained nearly normal function, and Stem Cells Inc. has filed with the FDA to start a study on using adult stem cells to treat Batten disease, which affects children’s central nervous systems. To judge from Stem Cell Inc.’s website, it looks like this program would only help recover neurons destroyed by Batten’s disease, not eradicate the root cause itself.

Tests reveal strongest brands of condoms
A melon-colored model [condom] distributed by Planned Parenthood performed the worst [in independent testing by Consumers Union], bursting during a test in which the latex condoms were filled with air.
Oh, the irony. 😉
Poking fun at Planned Barrenhood aside, I’m not sure the test CU used, though widely accepted for condom testing, is really representative of the repetitive stresses put on the latex during intercourse. How is inflating a condom like a balloon similar to poking it repeatedly and subjecting it to friction from rubbing?
