Physicians for Life

Physiciansforlife.org exists to draw attention to the medical realities of abortion, human embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, out-of-wedlock sexual activity, sexually transmitted diseases, and euthanasia.

Physiciansforlife.org strongly encourages sexual abstinence outside marriage in order to curb and eliminate the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases/ infections, to reduce the high rates of teen pregnancies, and to prepare our youth to develop strong and healthy life-long relationships in the parameters of marriage.

Physiciansforlife.org also encourages non-embryonic stem cell research which uses human adult stem cells, umbilical cord stem cells and placenta (after birth) to successfully treat over 70 diseases including cancers, heart disease, and even diseases such as juvenile diabetes and lupus. iPS (induced Pluripotent Stem) cells have also emerged as the focus of ethical, cutting edge stem cell research. In August 2008, scientists announced the transformation of adult cells into other types of adult cells. All of these ethical means of cell research will undoubtedly transform medical treatments in the near future.

The overriding goal of every physician should be to Do No Harm, to help every person live the longest and healthiest life possible.

Baby Samuel at 21-weeks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This photo features 21-week-old human fetus Baby Samuel, still inside his mother's uterus (womb). As the doctor prepared to close the uterus after the surgery, Baby Samuel's hand came out. The physician lifted the child's hand to put it back in the uterus. The photo was taken during the operation (Vanderbilt Univ, 1999) to correct spina bifida, a congenital condition. The child is progressing well.

"Fetus" is a Latin word meaning "offspring" or "young one".

2010-2009: Authentic Health "Care" Reform?

CURRENT NOTE: See 12 March 2010 update below...What you can do:
Contact by phone (best), or email/Fax (or write - see below), your U.S. Rep & both U.S. Senators (www.congress.org). Make the message plain: "Vote NO on tax-funded abortions." That's all you need to say.
To write your U.S. Representative, go to:
https://writerep.house.gov/writerep/welcome.shtml

To write your U.S. Senator, go to:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

1. Call Minority Leader Boehner’s office at (202)225-6205.

2. Tell the staffer who you are and where you are from.

3. Tell them that since Congressman Boehner is the Minority Leader he represents the 72% of Americans who do not want federal funding of abortion in health care reform. Tell the staffer you would like the Minority Leader to ask this question to Obama on Thursday:

Obama, on September 9, 2009, you promised the American taxpayers that under your health care plan there would not be federal funding for abortion. Why then, was the bipartisan Stupak amendment, which banned federal funds from going to pay for abortion on-demand, not included in your health care proposal?

Do Not Be Lulled into believing that Health "Care" "Reform" is dead.

It is NOT dead.

It should be on the floor for a vote THIS WEEK!

OR -- they may magically make a new rule so they can pass it without a vote...read the latest update [12 March 2010]

Senate Parliamentarian: Democrats Can't Use Reconciliation for Pro-Abortion Bill
In what may be a blow to Democrats and their effort to push the pro-abortion health care bill through Congress, the Senate parliamentarian has ruled that Senate Democrats can't use the controversial reconciliation process to make the changes needed to get enough votes for the Senate bill in the House.

The Senate Parliamentarian issued a ruling saying Obama must sign the pro-abortion health care bill first because Congress can use reconciliation to make changes to it as federal law.

One idea Democrats had been exploring to ensure enough votes for the abortion funding bill is to have both chambers pass a reconciliation bill first so recalcitrant Democrats in the House who may otherwise vote no will be persuaded to support the Senate bill.

Despite the ruling, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid sent a letter to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell saying he will attempt to use the reconciliation process to get changes made to the Senate bill.

Meanwhile, Democrats May Use Slaughter Rule to Pass Pro-Abortion Health Care Without A Vote. A new strategy has developed apart from the reconciliation plan that has pro-life advocates concerned that Congress could pass the bill without taking a vote on it.

House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter has developed an idea. When the House considers any legislation on the floor, it first adopts a Rule for debate that sets the parameters for debate, amendments and other procedures.

The problem Democrats have in the House is that pro-life Democrats are joining with Republicans to hold up the Senate bill because it contains massive abortion funding and other pro-abortion problems.

To get around that, Slaughter has mentioned proposing a Rule that would "deem" the Senate bill having already passed the House without an actual vote by members of the House.

The Rule would apply to the reconciliation package that makes the changes Democrats need to secure enough votes.

Under the Slaughter Rule, a majority would be needed to approve it and the idea behind adopting it is to give Democrats in tough re-election campaigns the ability to say they didn't vote for what is an unpopular pro-abortion health care bill. Instead, they can say they merely voted on a procedural rule. 

The Administration and Senate Majority leaders are furiously working to pass this dangerous legislation -- containing abortion, end of life "counseling", and NO Rights of Conscience for doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals, with tremendous control over citizens, among other things, at astronomical costs -- as is, any way they can. This is definitely NOT OVER...

You may wish to contact your U.S. Rep and 2 U.S. Senators (www.Congress.org) to tell them:

"Do not support any health care reform bill that does not include the Stupak language to block government funding of abortion!"

The TIME to Be PRO-ACTIVE is NOW...
