Friends,

Many of your heard that Mrs. Reagan favors Human Stem Cell Research but this was not the position of her husband. Read Michael’s response — very interesting.

Also, for more information on Bio-tech, read Cheryl Sullenger’s very informative book. Bio-Ethics in an Age Emerging Bio-Technology. ($7)

For the least of these,
Troy

I’m With My Dad on Stem Cell Research
Making Sense By Michael Reagan

The media continues to report that the Reagan “family” is in favor of stem cell research, when the truth is that two members of the family have been long time foes of this process of manufacturing human beings — my dad, Ronald Reagan during his lifetime, and I.

The media should keep in mind that we are also members of the Reagan “family,” and my father, as I do, opposed the creation of human embryos for the sole purpose of using their stem cells as possible medical cures.

Moreover, using the widely promoted and thoroughly discredited argument that stem cell research can lead to a cure of Alzheimer’s disease, the media and proponents of stem cell research have suggested that had the research been done a long time ago, my dad might have avoided the ordeal he endured. This is junk science at its worst.

As William Clark, dad’s national security advisor, interior secretary and one of my dad’s closest friends and aides wrote in a recent op-ed piece in the New York Times my father’s “suffering under Alzheimer’s disease was tragic, and we should do everything we can that is ethically proper to help others afflicted with it. But I have no doubt that he would have urged our nation to look to adult stem cell research — which has yielded many clinical successes — and away from the destruction of developing human lives, which has yielded none.” And he warned, “Those who would trade on Ronald Reagan’s legacy should first consider his own words.”

Here’s what my father said way back in 1983: “My administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning.”

Friends,

This story comes out of the UK. I am honestly shocked by the callous, cold hearted “doctor” quotes. This reminds me of the testimony from the recent PBA trials. Only now they are saying the same thing in the newspapers.

What have we become? Monsters!

Live babies being born after abortions
By Rebecca Smith, Evening Standard Health Reporter
http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/11493605?version=1

Leading doctors today called for a major overhaul to avoid babies being born alive after abortions.

Pregnancy expert Professor Stuart Campbell has demanded rules should be tightened after it was revealed that at least nine babies are known to have survived terminations in recent years.

He said injections that were supposed to end their lives in the womb failed to do so – and he called for stricter regulations to be enforced on the methods of abortion.

Professor Campbell said that all abortions carried out after 18 weeks of pregnancy should include an injection, followed by drugs, to induce labour and a stillborn child.

Some consultants only give the injection in abortions after 22 weeks. Others, he claims, do not use it at all.

We have returned from St Louis where ORW co-sponsored the Vision for Victory pro-life outreach with Angela and Daniel Michael of Small Victories. We were blessed to see God work so powerfully.

Braving hot and humid weather conditions, pro-lifers from across the nation gathered to save lives and help women at the Hope Clinic for Women in Granite City, IL, just across the Mississippi from St. Louis. On an average day, approximately 45 women are scheduled for abortion appointments at the mill owned by Californian Hector Zavalos and operated by troubled abortionist Yogendra Shaw. Shaw has been involved in three wrongful death suits and numerous other problems with the state’s medical board.
