Bound4LIFE's Monday Roundup
Each Monday we will brief you on last weeks top 5 blog posts. This is your way to see what the community is talking about and stay up-to-date on the musings and movement of Bound4LIFE.
I have a well-worn copy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s book Why We Can't Wait. I picked it up today, and it fell open to a page with this thought:
So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be.
- Just in case you had any doubts, new documents confirm Elena Kagan is as liberal as they come.
- Gallup: Support for Kagan on par with Harriet Miers. We all know how that turned out.
- Long gone are the days of promising "transparency" as Obama considers using executive privilege to block Kagan documents.
- Washington DC has outlawed Prayer and Free Speech on public property. Way to keep it classy, DC.
I saw this video floating around on twitter and thought it well done. Check it out:
Part IV - From clone to cadaver
Until Dolly the Sheep made world headlines in 1996, cloning was an issue we reserved for sci-fi stories. Then suddenly we were presented with the reality of the viability of cloning. And the abortion industry already knew it. Cloning makes for great movies about doppelgangers, but in the real world, cloning is planned abortion.
As 2004 opened, New Jersey passed a frightening law that essentially allowed human cloning of an embryo to be implanted in the womb as long as the baby was aborted. Some believe this restriction on growing a new life would actually result in fetal farming by cloning the baby and then killing it before birth and taking the fetal remains for research. Although the bill’s text bans the sale of humans, it allows for “reasonable” payment of service. Ethicist Robert P. George from Princeton University, was one of several on a presidential ethics council who addressed this concern to the governor of New Jersey who wrote:
Although the legislation purports to ban trafficking in fetal body parts for "valuable consideration," it expressly permits "reasonable payment" for "removal, processing, disposal, preservation, quality control, storage, transplantation, or implantation of embryonic or cadaveric fetal tissue." This is a virtual invitation to cloning entrepreneurs to conduct …what would amount to fetal farming for research...
Excellent question.
It seems that the epic summer battle so many on the left and right were gearing up for has, well, been a bust. This is most likely due to the fact that Kagan has no judicial record and thus nothing to really discuss or debate over.
Life News reports:
Alaska voters this August will have the opportunity to vote on a pro-life ballot measure that would allow parents to know when their minor daughters are considering an abortion. If enacted, the law would reduce teen abortions by protecting parental rights to help their children find better alternatives.
The Alaska Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a trial court’s finding that petitions for a parental notification initiative do not contain confusing and misleading language and are therefore valid.
The decision means that the parental notification measure will go on the ballot for voter approval during the August 24 primary despite opposition from Planned Parenthood.
What does this have to do with state elections? Everything.

"Free government is founded in jealousy, not confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind those we are obliged to trust with power.... In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in men, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."
- Thomas Jefferson
