John Kerry (D-Mass.), Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), Lincoln Chafee (R-R.I.) and seven other senators are sponsoring the “Putting Prevention First Act” (S.2336).

BERLIN, June 29, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A study has shown that parents who adopt an embryo for implantation do not tell the child of his true origins in most cases. Many methods of artificial procreation are available at most IVF facilities, one of which is to have an embryo implanted that is no genetic relation to the client. A study has shown that such parents are more reluctant to admit to these adopted-as-embryo children their origins. Researchers at City University, London interviewed 21 families who had adopted their children as embryos and found that most of them felt that to […]

The triplets were conceived using Charles’ sperm and a donor’s egg and were carried by Pepper.  The court chose to decide the matter based on the […]

FUNDY, June 29, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – John Herron, the pro-abortion former Tory MP who upon the merger of the Alliance and the Progressive Conservatives jumped to the Liberals saying, “as a Red Tory, the Martin Liberals represent my values and vision for the future of Canada,” has lost his seat in Parliament to a Conservative who considers himself ‘pro-life’.  Conservative candidate Rob Moore won the seat with 45% of the vote compared to Herron’s 35%.  The Campaign Life Coalition analysis said of Moore “he would be inclined to support pro-life legislation, provided majority of constituents agree,” and that he “favours […]
