The Pro-Life Week in Review
Part One of Four By Dave Andrusko Good evening, and thanks once again for reading Today's News & Views. Part Two explains a remarkable medical technique that researches hope to use to communicate with patients with "locked-in" syndrome. Part Three directs you a one-stop center to know where the candidates stand on life. Part Four reminds us that what used to be a one-day election is now a one-month election. Over at National Right to Life News Today (www.nationalrighttolifenews.org), we talk about the con job on the "Medicare Advantage" plans that the Obama Administration is trying on us. We also talk about the "World Stem Cell Summit, the not-so-hidden practice of euthanasia in Belgium, and a summary of the latest election numbers. Please send your comments on Today's News & Views and National Right to Life News Today to daveandrusko@gmail.com. If you like, join those who are following me on Twitter at http://twitter.com/daveha.
We've covered the upcoming mid-term elections from stem to stern (or maybe port to starboard would be more apt). We did so not just to update the grassroots but to remind them there is lots to do in a very limited amount of time. (The election is November 2.) Be sure to check out http://www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/Oct10/nv100410part4.html and http://stoptheabortionagenda.com/downloads/compare-the-candidates. Some of the kindest, most generous
responses were to our stories about children with Down syndrome. If you've
been busy, please take time to read For my money, the most interesting story all week was written by Burke J. Balch, J.D., director of NRLC's Powell Center for Medical Ethics. His "Are Obamacare 'Death Panels' Truly a Myth?" is a real eye-opener. (http://www.nrlc.org/News_and_Views/Oct10/nv100110part2.html.) And if you needed a picker upper for the week there was, "Pro-Life Governor Christie Defunds Planned Parenthood in New Jersey" (www.nrlc.org/NewsToday/NJ1005010.html). To quote from the story, "New pro-life Governor Chris Christie (R), elected in a stunning upset in the fall of 2009, was able to keep funds for Planned Parenthood and similar organizations out of the state's latest budget by holding fast to his convictions." Catch that? "By holding fast to his convictions." There is an awful lot to read today, both at TN&V and at "National Right to Life News Today" (www.nationalrighttolifenews.org), so I will end here. Please forward as many of these posts as you can using your social networks. Remember: the last mile of any operation is no longer than the first, but because there is a finish line at the end it is the one that pays the greatest dividends. |
A
kind reader, as part of her response to the question of what format she
likes TN&V in best, said she'll read it regardless because she just loves
what she's presented. Another respondent echoed that sentiment and added, "I
have especially enjoyed all your articles this week." Thank you to both, and
yes, these four days have been particularly interesting time in which to
write.
