* Supporting Stem Cell Research: President Obama and Vice President Biden believe that we owe it to the American public to explore the potential of stem cells to treat the millions of people suffering from debilitating and life-threatening diseases. Obama is a co-sponsor of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007, which will allow research of human embryonic stem cells derived from embryos donated (with consent) from in vitro fertilization clinics. These embryos must be deemed in excess and created based solely for the purpose of fertility treatment.

* Supports a Woman's Right to Choose: President Obama understands that abortion is a divisive issue, and respects those who disagree with him. However, he has been a consistent champion of reproductive choice and will make preserving women's rights under Roe v. Wade a priority in his Adminstration. He opposes any constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in that case.

Change from life to death

ANSA reports

Official sources at the Vatican would neither confirm nor deny to ANSA whether the reports printed in the dailies Il Giornale and Il Riformista were true. Msgr. Lefebvre, who died in 1991, was excommunicated in 1988 along with four bishops he ordained without permission from the Vatican.

Today in Washington , many thousands of American women and men have proudly gathered on the National Mall for the March for Life. In a city of many competing political interests, these marchers have come to speak for only one cause: the goodness of every life, and the rights of the unborn.

Thirty-six years ago, those rights were denied by our highest court, in a decision that also denied the rights of all Americans to resolve the abortion issue through democratic debate and legislation. To their great credit, the organizers of the March for Life never let this anniversary pass without speaking to the conscience of America , and calling our nation to uphold its highest ideals in the protection of human life.

America owes these marchers a debt of gratitude for their perseverance in a noble cause. I am honored to count myself as their friend and ally. And because of their dedication and their goodness of heart, I am certain that one day this cause will prevail.

I noted TimesNews running the story. Now they are running everything he spits out.

Memo on Kent Williams' alleged acts prompts criticism, ouster call

GOP lawmaker hits Repubs on harassment release

TimesNews is also running the same stories. cept they are just listing them as Assocaited Press.

From these articles note Rep. Dale Ford again coming to the aide of House Speaker Kent Williams

State Rep. Dale Ford today downplayed a memo released by House Republican Leader Jason Mumpower's office that recounted another Republican lawmaker's claims she was sexually harassed by Williams in 2007.

"There's not a woman in Nashville that's afraid of Kent Williams," Ford said in a phone interview from his Jonesborough home. "He's one of the most unlikely people in the world to sexually harass anybody."

Ford shared an office suite with Williams, of Elizabethton, when both Republicans were freshman lawmakers during the last two-year General Assembly.

"They're just trying to trash Kent Williams," Ford said.

The original story never mentioned that Rep Jason Mumpower had been asked in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. It was worded that Rep Jason Mumpower released the memo on his own merit.

Rep. Susan Lynn speaks about he problems with sexual harassment and the new speaker.

Blue Collar Muse has a right up about Did the release of a memo violate the Confidentiality provision of the General Assembly’s Sexual Harassment Policy?
