Gellman: Parsing the Stem-Cell Arguments - Newsweek Rabbi Marc Gellman - MSNBC.com I don't necessarily agree with everything the Rabbi is saying but it's the right tone and well thought out. FOXNews.com - U.S. & World - Reporter's Notebook: Inside the Execution Chamber My thoughts as I sit here outside the damp cold gates of San Quentin are with the victims and the incredible hurt their families have endured and will endure throughout their lifetimes. Stanley Tookie Williams has paid the ultimate price. And as the governor stated, he never seemed to show any remorse. This is an excellent insight about the execution. A quick thought, I'd think that Williams would have at least said something about the victims. I know Williams claims innocence but he could have at least acknowledged them. We met with the founders of this organization tonight and I wanted to draw some attention to it. Please consider giving to support this life-saving and life-affirming organization.

La Shawn Barber's Corner » Terri Schiavo's Husband Cleared to Remove Tube In Three Weeks Check out La Shawn Barber's latest entry about the 3 week extension on Terri Schiavo's life. Make sure to check out the "update" paragraph. I'm just amazed how people are willing to take away her feeding tube and let her suffer, then die of starvation. Tip to Hyscience: VIDEO - Conversation with Terri Schiavo. Check out this video. Why can't Terri's parents just take her home? Why are people so insistent that her feeding tube be removed? A wise man called this a "culture of death". Where is the outrage? HoustonChronicle.com - Malkin: Saviors and safety for newborn hope Please read this incredible editorial from Michelle Malkin about abandon babies and how the group Newborn Lifeline Network is working to educate distressed mothers-to-be. Fellow blogger and WorldNetDaily columnist Kevin McCullough has a great article on partial birth abortion. The article really lays it down about what partial birth abortion is so please forward the article. Another judge thinks that partial birth abortion is just fine. This is an issue that is so clear that people against the ban only helps those of us on the right side. Go ahead, Howard Dean, take the wrong side, again. It's amazing to hear the Democratic Senators criticizing Judge Brown saying her views aren't in the mainstream. Well, those same people think PBA should be legal. Talk about being out of the mainstream. That's actually the biggest problem with the Democrats, they've totally lost the pulse of the American people. President Bush has signed the ban on partial-birth abortion. One small victory for life but I'll take it. I just don't how anyone can not be against this ban. Please explain.... Please take a look at the Science for Unborn Human Life web site. It shows a picture of a pre-born child at 16 and 20 weeks after conception. This type of evidence is needed for helping to change human hearts. I found some great answers to questions from Family Research Council that answers many questions about partial birth abortion. The document is here. Please read this entry about "death with dignity". The last 36 hours have been a time of running a 101 degree temperature but it was still great to hear about Terri Schiavo getting another chance to live and the Senate passing the ban on partial-birth abortion. I can't wait until President Bush signs it into law. I'll be back in full force within the next couple of days. I got the following information from a prayer site for Terri Schiavo: Bottom line, this is murder and it seems it's up to Governor Bush of Florida to stop it. Please go to the Terri's Fight page to sign a petition and get Bush's attention. From today's Breakpoint with Chuck Colson: Drawn Toward Death BreakPoint with Charles Colson October 17, 2003 For Terri Schindler-Schiavo, time is running out. The brain-damaged woman’s feeding tube was removed Wednesday after a Florida court refused her parents’ final appeal. At the request of her husband, Michael Schiavo, Terri was not permitted therapy that doctors say might have improved her health and allowed her to eat and drink on her own. Barring an intervention by the governor of Florida, whose legal team is trying to find some way around the court’s decision, Terri has less than two weeks left to live. You may have followed the story in the media. It is a heartbreaking one—and frightening. The fight over her right to live, and our society’s reactions to that fight, illustrate just how cheaply we now hold human life. As I reported two years ago on this program, Michael Schiavo’s fight to disconnect his wife’s feeding tube was marked throughout by dishonesty and conflict of interest. But over and over again, the burden of proof has been placed on Terri’s parents and siblings, who have fought for years to keep her alive. Michael’s attorneys claim that Terri is in a persistent vegetative state, even though numerous doctors have testified that she is conscious and her family has videotapes of her responding to them. Additionally, her husband Michael has used money from Terri’s medical fund in his battle to end her life. And he has been engaged for several years to a woman who is now pregnant with their second child. Come on. Despite all this, Michael Schiavo has won a long series of legal battles, including this last one. The courts and many in the media have been on his side, and the reason is clear: Michael Schiavo has made himself into a poster boy for the “right to die” movement. He and his lawyer—who is active in that movement—have insisted all along that they were acting for Terri’s benefit, trying to keep her from suffering. These days, that kind of argument is all it takes to win the sympathy of our society and our legal system. In a bizarre paradox, we’re now turning on our weakest and most helpless citizens in the name of protecting them. Terri’s court-assisted murder—and that’s exactly what it is—is a perfect example of the clash of two worldviews. One holds that we evolved out of nothing, meaning that no human life is truly sacred. And as we continue to evolve toward some future hypothetical state of perfection, disabled people like Terri Schiavo have no place. Since she doesn’t meet the prevailing “quality of life” standard, we can do away with her as we please. Unless Governor Bush acts in the next few days, Terri will starve to death. What can the governor do? He can, on the basis of reports of abuse and neglect filed with adult protective services, provide foster custody to Terri under the state of Florida. Call us here at BreakPoint (1-877-3-CALLBP) for information on how you can contact Governor Bush. Jeb Bush is a good friend of mine and a solid Christian. I greatly respect him, and I’m counting on him. As my friend Joni Eareckson Tada, who is in Florida at the moment, writes, “ … we need the governor to step in. The state can provide foster custody to Terri and thus prevent this horrible course of action … this execution of a woman whose only crime is that she is mentally disabled.” Take action: Contact Governor Jeb Bush and urge him to intervene on behalf of Terri Schindler-Schiavo, providing her foster custody under the state of Florida. You can e-mail Jeb.Bush@myflorida.com or you can call: 850-488-7146. I've not commented on this issue before but the more I learn the more I'm disgusted and join in the chorus of calling this action MURDER. This is just sick and we need to take some action. Let's contact Governor Bush and try and help save Terri's life. The absolute scariest part of this may be that Terri understands the actions being taken but can do nothing about it. We don't know what she's feeling. When in doubt CHOOSE LIFE.June 29, 2007
