Illinois is a fortunate state to have a coalition of organizations that work together to fight abortion. It’s called SpeakOut Illinois and is a powerhouse for melding of ideas, supporting billboards, keeping up to date on the victories and failures in the abortion battle.

Dems May Pick Pro-Life Leader
The abortionists are losing it, and they know it. Former Rep. Tim Roemer, pro-lifer from Indiana, wants to be the Democrat party chairman, and he wants to spark a heated debate on abortion.
Roemer, a Catholic who opposes abortion, says he respects the pro-abortion position of many Democrats but thinks Democrats should be more inclusive. He wants to expand the party ideology.
He will face at least five other Democrats for party chairman next month. Kate Michelman said his election would signal that the Democrat Party is retreating from one of is core principles.
While we think Roemer is a wimp for claiming to respects those who wrote abortion into the platform, if he can cause a little trouble for the Democrats, why not?
Lutherans Mull Gay Ordinations
The Lutherans (ELCA) are trying to decide on ordaining active homosexuals. The Methodists and Episcopalians have gone through the same thing We feel sorry for people who have to vote on morality, when God has already made it clear. It’s so much better to know for sure the difference between right and wrong and not have to figure it out from scratch.
Berman Clueless on Love
Laura Berman has a sickening column in Monday’s Sun-Times , “Women need new birth control options.” She has no idea what she’s talking about. Her column, “The Language of Love,” has nothing to do with love. She just doesn’t get it.
