I was standing in the middle of the crowd when the police started moving in. I was screaming, “I am pregnant, I am pregnant. Let me through. I am trying to get out.”

…Right before I turned, both cops lifted their pepper spray and sprayed me. My eyes puffed up and my eyes swelled shut.

• Herman Cain has signed Susan B. Anthony List’s Pro-Life Presidential Leadership Pledge.
• CNN has an article on a clinical trial using fetal stem cellsfrom an aborted child in an attempt to treat ALS:

  In an operation than lasted about four hours, [the patient] received five injections into the cervical, or neck, area of his spinal cord, each delivering 100,000 cells. The cells came from Maryland-based biotech company Neuralstem, which is funding this clinical trial and devised a procedure to grow millions and millions of motor neuron cells from the donated spinal cord tissue of an 8-week-old aborted fetus.

Country superstar Collin Raye, recently named national spokesperson for Terri Schiavo’s Life & Hope Network, is donating a portion of the proceeds from his newly released CD of Christian hymns and ballads, His Love Remains, to help the Life & Hope Network continue the legacy of protecting and saving lives.

This is a wonderful Christmas gift idea for family and friends, and it will help our cause.

I got a couple surprises when watching the following video about the making of Raye’s new album.

First, I was happy to spot the Schindler family at 3:52 on the video. I love those three.

Caitlin M. is a homeschooled high school senior taking a film class at a local university. Caitlin found a letter from a post-abortive mother online and decided to make a movie about it.

“Since the media is so influential, my goal is to one day produce Hollywood films with a pro-life message,” Caitlin wrote me in an email. She’s well on her way. This is so sad and touching…

In 1989, the Supreme Court ruled… that language alone cannot be used to justify the regulation of abortion. In other words, calling unborn human beings “persons” under the law does nothing to prevent the legal abortion of these “persons.” …

Even if induced abortion were ultimately made illegal, it still would not necessarily apply in cases which endanger the health of the mother. There is a huge difference between a life-saving operation for the mother which also results in the death of the unborn baby and one which only seeks to end the life of the baby.
