To Vacation...Or Bust!

Last week I was visiting my grandparents. It was supposed to be a routine trip up to Michigan while my parents went on a trip with friends. However, it started out worse than anyone was ready for. Just as my grandparents and I were stopping at a fast-food restaurant just outside town for breakfast, my father called. He told us that their car had been wrecked by a deer who had jumped in front of the vehicle. Fortunately, they were able to get in another vehicle and continue their trip. We were ab...

Viability selection and genetic screening

Just a quick follow up to my post about genetic screening of embryos and subsequent implantation. The spontaneous abortion rate for humans is very high. Probably on the order of 50% of fertilized ova implant and complete to term. I've seen numbers all over the place. In any case, I assume many of these are chromosomal abnormalities. But I've also posted to data which strongly suggests that immunological incompatibilities between mother & fetus also play a role in spontaneous abortions and may re...

World mag, Beckel: Born Alive is Obama's "most difficult" abortion problem

I'd heard conservative commentator Cal Thomas had led Democrat strategist Bob Beckel to the Lord and have even observed Beckel's commentating style become less abrasive on Fox over the past year. In the July 26 issue of World magazine Marvin Olasky interviewed the pair, and my name came up in a discussion of Barack Obama. Read the World magazine piece in its entirety here. World has graciously enabled a link to the article for my readers. Following is the relevant excerpt: Beckel: Let me be pure...

Will Sebelius' abortion stance abort her chance as Obama VP?

On June 11 CBS News moved pro-abortion KS Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to the top of the list of Barack Obama's prospective running mates. Pro-lifers await the day, as a Kansas City Star editorial columnist surprisingly got right on July 10. Recall Planned Parenthood bestowed its Maggie Award to the KCS in 2006 "for editorials supporting reproductive justice, family planning, and the right to confidential health care." So KCS is no friend, making this candid assessment of an Obama-Sebelius ticket rema...
