Pro-Life: January 2006 Archives

I was asked to post this.

To St. Blog's Parishioners:

For two years, we in Delaware have been fighting legislation that would allow the destruction of existing frozen human embryos as well as the cloning and then destruction of new human embryos, all for research purposes. Our opponents expected to pass this legislation easily, but have been defeated at each stage by unexpectedly strong opposition.

On January 12, the proponents of Senate Bill 80 (SB80) postponed what was to have been the final vote on this bill in the wake of our Rose and a Prayer campaign. Through this campaign, made up of Catholic and non-Catholic Christians throughout the state, 1000+ Delawareans committed to one hour of prayer each during the eight days preceding the vote. The prayer was intercessory, to ask the Lord to keep destructive embryonic research from Delaware. This campaign also sent a rose to the representative of each of the citizens who took part in that prayer commitment, asking them to vote against the bill.

An interesting article in the Massachusetts News reveals that condoms are not effective at stopping the spread of human papillomaviruses (HPV) or genital warts, which are spreading at epidemic proportions. HPV is an incurable disease, often asymptomatic, linked as strongly to cervical cancer as cigarette smoking is linked to lung cancer. It lives all over the pubic area, which is why condoms cannot stop it. Yet Planned Parenthood, CDC, and other organizations insist on stating or implying that condoms will protect you from HPV, and from the media reaction you'd think there wasn't a problem. As Dr. Stephen Curry, of the New England Medical Center in Boston, said in Time in 1988, "This virus is rampant. If it were not for AIDS, stories about it would be on the front page of every newspaper."

When will the truth be told?
