The fight to see every unborn child protected in law and welcomed in life heats up in a major way this week with the expected vote on Obamacare, which will mandate public financing of abortion. How fortunate for us, then, to have a new Connecticut ally in the pro-life cause.
Concerned Catholics for Connecticut and Friends [...]

That’s the question asked by a (Danbury) News-Times article this past weekend and I am inclined to answer yes–when every unborn child is welcomed in law and protected in life. A day that will never come, you say? The News-Times quotes me on the present darkness…and the glimmers of hope:

We live in troubling times. Throughout the United States – at the local, state and federal levels of government – assaults continue upon our religious freedom. Recent examples include:

Enforcement action by San Diego County against a local pastor and his wife, for daring to hold a bible study group in the privacy of their home. [...]

I’ll be on Dan Lovallo’s radio program at 5 pm to discuss the first-ever Gallup poll showing that most Americans are pro-life. Go to www.talkofconnecticut.com to find the station near you.

I’ll be on the Dan Lovallo show this afternoon following the 3:30 news to discuss the CT Catholic Conference’s Special Report on The State of Abortion in CT…and Obama will likely be a topic as well.

Asked whether he thinks religious issues–such as abortion–could derail or at least [...]

First there was the typically overwrought pro sex-ed Susan Campbell column:
Connecticut is one of the bluest states imaginable, yet public discussion about sex education in schools can easily jettison us back to the days of the Scopes trial, when fiery preachers railed against modernity, and movie theaters were considered Satan’s temple…
Yet the opposition shouts down [...]

According to today’s Courant it is still an open question as to whether or not one Yale student’s disgusting abortion “art” project was a hoax:
The artwork that the press flocked to Yale on Tuesday to see was nowhere to be found. Walking past colorful prints and abstract landscapes, the reporters descended into a sunken gallery [...]

First, the good news. Embryo-destructive research has become so obviously pointless that even our state’s scientists have begun to notice it:
The Connecticut Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee doled out almost $10 million in state grants to Connecticut scientists Tuesday [April 1st], including one that has the potential to take some of the controversy out of [...]
