SENATOR STROM THURMOND SUPPORTS CLONING RESEARCH CNN reported Friday that “Sen. Strom Thurmond became the second Republican opponent of abortion rights this week to split with the Bush administration, signing onto a bill that would ban most human cloning but allow an exception for research purposes. The 99-year-old senator followed the lead of conservative Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, who threw his support behind the legislation earlier this week.”  https://www.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/05/03/thurmond.cloning/index.html   HIDE THE CHILDREN The latest syndicated columns by conservative columnist and TV commentator Bill O’Reilly and Dr. Laura Schlessinger discuss some of the risks to children in today’s increasingly libertine society.

President Bush’s visit to the state last week to help the Simon campaign has dispelled many of their concerns, according to an article in WorldNetDaily and Human Events.  https://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27496   WILL PLANNED PARENTHOOD APOLOGIZE FOR EUGENIC PAST?  “The public apology by Virginia’s governor for the state’s role in the ‘eugenics’ movement has created an opportunity for conservatives to criticize the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA),” reports Cybercast News Service today. “Ed Szymkowiak, a spokesman for STOPP International, a subsidiary organization of the American Life League, said PPFA continues to use Sanger’s name at its awards dinners. He called on PPFA to issue its own apology.”  https://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCulture.asp?Page=Culturearchive
