Stem Cell Developments
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Embryonic Stem Cells have been in the news again.
Last week a federal district judge issued an injunction against NIH using federal funds for embryonic stem cell research.
He reasoned that the President’s executive order permitting such funding contravenes federal law, at least pending the outcome of a case working its way through the courts.

Simple, Powerful, Pro-Life Ad
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Monday, August 23, 2010
Here’s an amazingly simple and yet powerful pro-life ad. It was originally produced as a radio ad in Ireland, but was banned for being “too political.” Now, thanks to the power of YouTube and the efforts of Irish pro-life group Youth Defence, it’s finding a wider audience. Perhaps you can help pass it on!

The show, which is a project of the Life Issues Institute, won the award on the strength of an episode in which Mattes interviewed Missy Davert, a woman who is 2 feet 11 inches tall and... READ MORE

Bert was always my favorite character in Mary Poppins, but I like Dick Van Dyke even more now.
The actor is donating his time as the new spokesperson for the Cell Therapy Foundation, which supports and educates about adult stem cell research. It’s good work!
You can see the first PSA featuring Mr. Van Dyke at the Cell Therapy Foundation’s website.
Loving Them Both

We went to my brother’s high school graduation, and there was a pregnant girl in his class.
She must have been close to full-term, because even though she was capped and gowned, you couldn’t miss the reality of her condition.
My sister elbowed me as we watched her walk across the stage. “Look at that. Good for her!”
I agreed. A part of me wanted to find the girl after the ceremony and tell her how... READ MORE

Last Saturday, the pro-life movement lost one of its most cogent Jewish thinkers.
Prof. Hadley Arkes was received into the Church.
He writes a little bit about it here.
I am only kidding about losing a Jewish thinker. In remarks he made at the celebration dinner following his initiation as a Catholic, Hadley made it clear he doesn’t consider himself to be leaving Judaism behind, but only following it to its fulfillment.... READ MORE

I think this might be the most pro-life ad I’ve ever seen—and it’s advertising a snack.
Doesn’t that remind you of John Paul the Great’s remark that among the goods parents strive to give their kids, the greatest is siblings?
With a polite nod to First Thoughts

I blogged about this very cool ad campaign from Catholic Vote at NCRegister last week. I am so thrilled to see this video of the ad on the streets and people’s positive reactions to its pro-life message. You can see the ad up-close here.
Are Domestic Violence Shelters Pro-Life?

“When I was reading your post about not being able to donate some (or all) of your 40 bags at your normal donation site and the Vincent de Paul society being closed, I saw that several people commented about making donations to domestic violence shelters.
I was recently told by a friend in another state (I’m in NC) that in her town, the 3 domestic violence shelters provide assistance... READ MORE
