With an upcoming mayoral election, I’ve only recently started learning about local politicians and their views in my relatively new city of Anchorage. This morning I read in the Anchorage Daily News that State Representative Bob Lynn of Anchorage has had a Blogspot blog since 2002.
His most recent post entitled Unofficial Things […]

Yippie!
Governor Mike Rounds has a spine:
“I’ve indicated I’m pro-life and I do believe abortion is wrong, and that we should do everything we can to save lives,” Rounds said. “If this bill accomplishes that, then I am inclined to sign the bill into law.”
The bill makes exceptions for pregnancies that threathen the life of […]

An article in The Independent presents to us a glimpse of what a “sexual revolution” can do to a society:

A survey by Li Yinhe, China’s only female sexologist, shows that 70 per cent of Beijingers have had pre-marital sex, compared with 15.5 per cent in 1989. In the major cities, the average age at which […]

According to the Anchorage Daily News, Alaskans for Life is bringing a suit against Aurora Productions which hosts the Alaska Women’s Show each year. Aurora Productions is a private company not acting on behalf of the government and they did not allow Alaskans For Life to participate in previous Shows.
While I think Aurora Productions […]

Horrifying.
About 1.6 million women had an abortion last year, a fifth of them under the age of 18, and about 1.5 million gave birth, said Vladimir Kulakov, vice president of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. “Many more� abortions weren’t reported.
According to the World Factbook, Russia’s population is at 144,526,278 (July 2003) and […]

We’re going to play “Guess the Author.” Won’t you play along?
Quote 1:
“While the deep concern of a woman bearing an unwanted child merits consideration and sympathy, it is my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places on human life. Wanted or […]

…that Senator Frist was pro-life…and here he supports funding medical research that takes the lives of preborn humans.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist on Friday threw his support behind House-passed legislation to expand federal financing for human embryonic stem cell research, breaking with President Bush and religious conservatives in a move that could impact […]

“Priscilla Owen is now the proud owner of a lifetime appointment to the second highest court in the United States, where she can inflict her utter disregard for individual rights on the people of Louisiana and Mississippi—as she has been doing for the more than 10 years in Texas.”
-Kim Gandy, NOW President
No, Kim, (graphic pictures) […]

Atwood at Here We Stand reports that the “choice” crowd in Illinois is now rallying to require a doctor’s referral to perform an ultrasound on a pregnancy. Why? The article he quotes explains it:
“We should be concerned about the long term health of the fetus,” Mulligan, who has voted against a ban […]

It pains me to do this, but it makes me wonder how people fifty or a hundred years from now will look back on the figures of today.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Executed for conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler who, as we all know, set up special facilities to butcher Jews. Was Dietrich defending life?
Eric Rudolph: […]

The groundswell of support for life drummed up during the effort to save Terri Schiavo has remained in place and has just been central in saving an 81-year-old woman named Mae Magourik from death, though she has suffered through 12 days of starvation.

Mae Magouirk, an 81-year old grandmother, is not terminally […]

Alaska has a new website about abortion. Governor Frank Murkowski signed a bill that required women be provided with “basic, medically accurate information to help them make informed decisions about their pregnancy options.”
The site contains fantastic pictures and some illustrations of babies in the womb from 2 weeks through birth. The second trimester […]

Timotheos at Balaam’s Ass has thought-provoking commentary on the death of Terri Schiavo.
Random Daniel has a sweet dedication to Michael Schiavo.
Bunnie Diehl uses a few highly effective words to summarize the execution.

Terri Schiavo died this morning after 14 days of court-ordered dehydration and starvation. Michael Schiavo refused to allow her parents and siblings to be at her side when she drew her last breath.
I’m disappointed. We kill thousands of children each day in this country out of convenience. It was just […]

On the murdering of Terri Schiavo:
“She is being starved to death, she is being dehydrated to death. That’s immoral and unnecessary.”
Shock of all shocks - it came from Rev. Jesse Jackson. I didn’t think I’d ever be on the same side of an issue with him.
It’s been 11 days since Terri has had been […]

FOXNews reports:
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. — Florida Gov. Jeb Bush filed a request to take custody of Terri Schiavo on Thursday after the U.S. Supreme Court once again refused to order the severely brain-damaged woman’s feeding tube reinserted.
Circuit Court Judge George Greer, who has consistently ruled that Schiavo did not want to be kept alive […]

BlogsForTerri.com is reporting:
According to the Empire Journal, Terri qualifies for the Witness Protection Program.
It is possible she may be placed in this program under the Witness Security Program Act of 1984.
They’re going to have to hurry up with this.
Read the Empire Journal article here.

From BlogsForTerri:
Michael Schiavo has suspended all visitations, including those by Terri’s parents. He is in contempt of court because there is a court order allowing the Schindlers to be with Terri in her court ordered final hours. I’d be surprised if this court actually upheld its own order and brought consequences to […]

Judge Greer quits his church.
The politicians get it right…
As a deal in Congress was worked out to have federal courts decide Terri Schiavo’s fate, emotions swelled outside the brain-damaged woman’s hospice room Saturday, with protesters arrested after they symbolically tried to smuggle in bread and water on her second day without a feeding tube.
And […]
