Two weeks ago, scientists from Japan and Wisconsin announced they had come up with a method of converting adult stem cells into an embryonic-like state.

Planned Parenthood Under Fire for Accusing Pro-Life Advocates of Violence
In the latest saga in the battle over a new abortion business Planned Parenthood hopes to open next week, its local CEO is under fire for accusing a leading pro-life advocate of engaging in violence. Pro-life groups have engaged in massive protests and called on city officials to prevent the abortion center from opening.

Those comments are coming back to haunt Trombley as the Thomas More Society, a pro-life law firm, has said it will take legal action against him and the pro-abortion group if the comments are not retracted. Click here to read more.

CNN's Upcoming Miniseries "God's Warriors" Implies Pro-Lifers are Terrorists
CNN's upcoming miniseries "God's Warriors," hosted by left-wing bias exemplar Christiane Amanpour, looks like it will play the old liberal game of moral equivalence. Amanpour reportedly compares Christian chastity advocates to the Taliban in the miniseries. Even the promos for the miniseries which have been running on CNN for the past few weeks demonstrate the probable "game plan" that Amanpour and CNN have in mind, grouping together pro-life Christian college students protesting in front of the Supreme Court, Jewish settlers on the West Bank, and Islamic radicals. To paraphrase an old children's jingle, "two of these things are not like the other." An "unprecedented six-hour television event," the miniseries will examine "God's Jewish Warriors" on Tuesday night, "God's Muslim Warriors" on Wednesday night, and "God's Christian Warriors" on Thursday night.

House Bill Brought Back on Pain Unborn Children Feel During Abortions
One of the top pro-life members of Congress has reintroduced a bill in the House that tells women of the pain an unborn child feels during an abortion.

Case Raises Legality of Do-It-Yourself Abortions
The prosecution of a Maryland woman for causing the death of a “viable fetus” last week has led to more grisly discoveries and an ethical dilemma for the abortion movement.

Christy Freeman, 37, of Ocean City, Md., has been charged with murder in the death of a preborn son, estimated at 26 weeks, whose remains were found under her bathroom sink. Police suspected Freeman, who showed up at a hospital with heavy bleeding and telltale signs of childbirth, had performed a “self-induced abortion.” They searched her property and found the remains of three other preterm babies.

Prosecutors say they intend to use the case to test a 2005 Maryland law that could be interpreted to exempt the expectant mother in such a case. In an opinion piece posted at Townhall.com, Jon Sanders, policy analyst and research editor at the John Locke Foundation, wrote, “It would be logically and morally untenable for the state to hold simultaneously that it is murder for someone to kill a woman’s unborn child, but A-OK for the woman to kill it herself.”

Commentary on Michael Vick and Abortion: "To hell with the dogs until people count"
By Mychal Massie

Blacks, at the urging of their so-called leadership, are often quick to become incited at the least provocation – real or perceived. At times, this has been well-documented to lead to riot and mayhem.

Now, if there were ever a justifiable time to tear down the personified fences of racial injustice and storm the castles of those who, with forethought and malicious genocidal intent, propagate and perpetuate an injustice so sinister as to be without equal, today should be the day for all blacks to rally. It is a day that so-called black leadership should storm the halls of Congress and demand an end to this evil. But they are silent.

What am I talking about? I'm talking about the furor that now rages over Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's alleged involvement in dog fighting and the brutal killing and the double standard of same.

In the past seven days, approximately 10,500 unborn, defenseless black children have been murdered by abortionists. Abortionists supported by the "prince" who would be king – Barack Hussein Obama – the Congressional Black Caucus, Jesse Jackson, Julian Bond and the NAACP, and Mark Morial, president and CEO of the National Urban League.
