From Conservative VA Senator Ken Cuccinelli's newsletter...... Life and a “Change of Heart?” Last week I shared with you Dem Senator Yvonne Miller’s concerns about increasing competition in the Commonwealth… and my resulting indignation. Well, this committee continues to be a source of liberal amazement. At our second meeting, Dem Senator Henry Marsh was attacking a bill addressing how the death penalty is implemented, i.e., the mechanics of putting someone to death that has been convicted of capital murder. He didn’t like some of the proposed changes and as part of his statement in opposition he declared (please note, this...

“In medical practice, there are few surgical procedures given so little attention and so underrated in its potential hazard as abortion.”- Dr. Warren Hern, MDAbortion practitioner and author of Abortion Practice (1990), the textbook most widely used in the United States to teach abortion to medical personnel"Probably nothing has been as damaging to our cause as the advances in technology which have allowed pictures of the developing fetus, because people now talk about the fetus in much different terms than they did 15 years ago. They talk about it as a human being, which is not something that I have...

New Day in Washington for Pro-Life Marchers By Susan Jones and Payton Hoegh CNSNews.com Staff Writer/Correspondent January 19, 2007 (CNSNews.com) - For more than three decades, pro-life activists have been coming to Washington every January to mark, with sadness, the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion.

Pro-life activists plan to address that reality at a Monday-morning news conference on Capitol Hill. The news conference will be followed by a pro-life worship service and the annual March for Life. "It's...

There is only one new photograph of the President today but on the Anniversary of Roe V Wade being decided click here for details of the case it was fitting that the President made a telephone call to the March for Life parcipants. Although there were no public engagements or those that were photographed anyway obviously the President has been hard at work today probably putting finishing touches/practicing his State of the Union address which he...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Two of the Republican presidential candidates with strong pro-life views spoke to tens of thousands of people at a rally preceding the annual March for Life. Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback and California Rep. Duncan Hunter both said they favor overturning Roe v. Wade and allowing states to prohibit abortions. "We recognize a tragedy of life in Roe v.

Brownback Draws Cheers During March for Life Senator Sam Brownback (KS) drew an enthusiastic response during the recent March for Life in Washington DC that was arguably bigger than that of any other politician. To some extent, the positive reaction was fueled by an exceptional turnout by Brownback's Kansas constituents who appeared to be well represented, organized and vigorous in their applause. In my opinion, however, it wasn't just Kansans who were excited by Brownback's attendance at the March or his announcement to seek the country's highest office in 2008. The Senator is a breath of fresh air in a...

This Monday, January 22, 2007, the Washington Mall, home of our most sacred monuments, will be brimming with people. More than 100,000 from all over America will flood every vacant corner of free space. Why? Because Monday is the 34th annual March for Life, an annual plea to the U.S. Congress to end the tragedy of abortion on demand. As a young man serving in the Reagan Administration, I always took the day off to participate and hear a message from my boss, President Ronald Reagan. He was a regular participant in the march. President Reagan felt passionately about the...
