"Creating civil unions gives government approval to behavior that is immoral", says pro-family leader

RICHMOND, Texas, March 26, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Texan man has confessed to killing his 19-year-old girlfriend after seeing Mel Gibson’s the Passion of the Christ. The man, who carefully planned the murder to make it appear a suicide, reportedly repented of the slaying and confessed to police. The woman’s body was found by her mother in January. The medical examiner later ruled her death a suicide. The man is alleged to have killed the woman because he didn’t want the burden of caring for their child he thought she was carrying. Seeking redemption, he turned himself in to police […]

LONDON, March 26, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A study published in the Lancet Journal Friday suggests there is no link between abortion and breast cancer.  “What we can truly rule out is an increased risk (of breast cancer)” said Dr. Valerie Beral the co-author of the study which purportedly examined 53 studies in 16 countries.  However, Dr. Joel Brind, a foremost expert on the topic told LifeSiteNews.com that the study published in Lancet is easily refuted.  Dr. Brind, a professor at Baruch College, spoke with LifeSiteNews.com about the Beral study saying it was “very badly done” and “very vulnerable.”  Beral, a […]

BRIDGEWATER, March 26, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Another US hospital has fought, – and lost – a battle to kill a vulnerable patient. Massachusetts General Hospital went to court to attempt, despite the presence of a legal health proxy and clearly stated wishes to the contrary, to have Barbara Howe starved and dehydrated to death on the grounds that “she was suffering.” Increasingly, hospital ethics committees are finding reasons to end the life of patients against their own or their family’s wishes. Barbara Howe suffers from advanced Lou Gehrig’s Disease. She has been on a ventilator since 1999 and her daughter, […]

VATICAN, March 26, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In an address to the Bishops of Australia today, Pope John Paul II thanked the Bishops for their defence of marriage and family.  Led by Cardinal George Pell, Australian Bishops gave strong backing to the Vatican’s recent document on homosexual unions which received cold reception even by some Catholic bishops around the world. Rather than distance himself from the Vatican’s strong statement on homosexual unions, Sydney’s Cardinal Pell defended its application not only for Catholics but for all people.  He said: “One does not need to have any particular religion to recognise this, or […]

VALENCIA, March 26, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Pro-life educators often make the argument that if individuals were fully aware of the dignity and value of human life in the womb, then even with legalized abortion, the demand for and availability of them would be reduced. This point seems to be proved by a Spanish pro-life organization that has found the great majority, 96%, of Spanish doctors, refuses to commit abortion. The International Planned Parenthood Website complains that “the Roman Catholic Church and `pro-life’ opposition in Spain is a constant factor in non-government organization advocacy for sexual and reproductive health” and that […]
