Constituent ‘Violated’ by Durbin Change on Abortion
Posted Thursday, August 18th, 2005 by Justin(cnsnews.com) Sen. Richard Durbin will vote against Supreme Court nominee John Roberts in the Senate Judiciary Committee if Roberts disagrees with the Illinois Democrat’s view that the U.S. Constitution guarantees a right to abortion. But that vote would directly contradict Durbin’s beliefs as expressed in a 1989 letter to a constituent.
The recipient of that letter, Frank Tureskis, says he feels “violated” by Durbin’s abandonment of the right-to-life position. He lived in Springfield, Ill., when Durbin was running for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1981.

Posted Friday, August 5th, 2005 by Justin(cnsnews.com) Two days after the birth of Susan Anne Catherine Torres and the death of her brain-dead mother, pro-life groups now believe this “miracle baby” will help preserve life and convince abortion rights supporters to switch sides.
“It will cause people to stop and think twice about abortion and what the truth and the reality of it is,” Amber Dolle, media director for the pro-life group, American Life League, told Cybercast News Service.
“[The birth of Susan Anne Catherine] really helps people that maybe have sat on the fence and don’t know if the child living in the womb is really a person … to see that this is a living human person [who] we need to do all we can to protect by nature and by law in this country,” Dolle said.
“It has shown the humanity of the child in the womb,” she added.

I heard on the radio last week that there was a new pro-life music video by some rapper. I just found out today that it is by Nick Cannon, the star in the movie Drumline.

“I will always be a part of you/Trust your soul know his heart is true/If I could talk I would say to you/Can I live? Can I live?”
