9News quotes CRTL on Embryonic Stem Cells

Colorado's NBC affiliate reported: "Colorado Right To Life urges scientists to use stem cells from umbilical cords and to stop harvesting parts from children, because it is wrong to kill the littlest boys and girls to treat others," said the group's vice president Leslie Hanks. (see video) CRTL also told 9News: "Adult stem cells have proved superior to embryonic cells, and it would be tragic if Kasie Burtard (see below) is getting inferior treatment just to make a statement about the 'right' to kill the tiniest persons."

From the 9News 5/6/08 report: Going across the globe to take a few steps

"Growing up on a ranch outside Carbondale, 26-year-old Kasie Burtard spent many days on horseback under wide open skies. ... It was a western lifestyle and way of life that, for Burtard, slipped away six years ago after a car accident on a rural road left her paralyzed from the waist down. ... Doctors told Burtard she would never walk again... That meant this woman of the West would look to the East for a controversial medical procedure in India. Burtard started to look into embryonic stem cell therapy, using cells from a single fertilized egg to try and rebuild the damage in her spinal cord. Because the procedure uses an embryo, it's illegal in the United States, opposed by many lawmakers and religious groups.

"Colorado Right to Life Vice President Leslie Hanks says there are other ways to benefit from stem cells without using embryos. 'The group urges scientists to use stem cells from umbilical cords and to stop harvesting parts from children, because it is wrong to kill the littlest boys and girls to treat others.'

Republican Candidate Bob Schaffer in the Twilight Zone

Here is the Twilight Zone interview with 'pro-life' Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer regarding Colorado RTL's accusation of his disregard for Chinese women forced to abort their children, and read the excellent Rocky Mtn News report on the Schaffer scandal, and ask yourself, would anti-slavery statesman William Wilberforce ever have behaved in this way...

April 28, 2008

Monday Morning Politicking with Bob Schaffer by Jeremy Pelzer: ...discussed recent reports regarding his 1999 trip to the Northern Marianas Islands... Schaffer was accompanied by his campaign manager, Dick Wadhams, who jumped into the conversation at several points.

PolitickerCO: The campaign's been fairly quiet about the whole Marianas Islands controversy since it came out in the Post about a week or so ago. What's your take on this whole controversy and how it's played out?

Schaffer: Why don't you describe the controversy? [Read the rest of this wild interview...]

CRTL on Birth Control in Godless Schools

A local TV news report regards a Denver Public School proposal to distribute birth control and the morning after pill to high school students:

Denver's CBS affiliate News 4 reporter Raj Chohan: Not everyone agrees. Groups like Colorado Right to Life strongly oppose the plan, and believe it will send a wrong message to kids in high risk communities.

Bob Enyart, CRTL: A Denver Public School is a good place to send your daughter to become sexually active. Now, the task force wants to make it more efficient, condoms to the boys, abortion pills to your daughter, get her ready for the next guy to use her. It's called godless education.
