Pro-Abort Women Lament Dearth of Vocal Pro-Abort Men
Newsweek featured a conversation among liberal feminists about the future of the abortion movement.  Surprising to me was a recurring lament about the shortage of outspoken pro-abort men. 

How schizophrenic. How hypocritical.

What, now that they're losing the abortion battle they admit they can't handle it on their own?

They need men's help, seriously? 

Over 37 years ago feminists outlawed giving fathers any say whatsoever when aborting children they may want while forcing fathers to financially support children they may not want – and feminists are now calling on men to help uphold the status quo

Feminists are demanding that male pro-life legislators butt out because they have no ovaries while demanding that male pro-abort legislators intervene – on what grounds?

Feminists decry male pro-life activists outside abortion mills but ignore that most abortionists inside the mills are men...

Pro-lifer G.N. commented on my blog:
    Pro-choice men have been effectively neutered by the feminists. Now that they've created an army of lap dogs, they decide that they really want attack dogs.

    It's easier being a pro-life male. We get to be and act like men ought. And we get great women who aren't at war with their own nature, which means they aren't at war with the men who complement that nature and whose nature is complemented by women's.

One other reason pro-abort men may have trouble taking initiative. It must feel pretty slimy to grandstand killing one's own progeny.

Adult Stem Cells Benefit Heart Patients (4/04) PDF Print E-mail

A team of American and Argentinian researchers has proved that adult stem cells can significantly improve damaged heart tissue. [American Association for Thoracic Surgery in Toronto, 25Apr04] The patients' own stem cells injected into the damaged areas dramatically improved heart function after surgery.

Twenty patients with weak hearts participated in the experiment. Ten patients had their own stem cells injected into the damaged areas of their heart during surgery and ten had surgery alone. The results were conclusive. The stem cell patients, after 6 months, showed significantly more improvement in their hearts than those who had surgery alone. Researcher Prof R. Kormos said the findings "will revolutionize our approach, which is largely palliative, to one that is truly regenerative." More research is needed but the results are the most hopeful so far. Dr. Amit Patel [Div of Cardiac Surgery, Univ of Pittsburgh School of Medicine]: "What we do know is that stem cell transplantation led to significant improvement in cardiac function in these patients undergoing off-pump bypass surgery. But, further investigation is needed to replicate these results." This breakthrough follows a long history of successful experimental/therapeutic treatments with adult stem cells (cells taken from the patient's own body). No evidence has yet to be brought forward that such cures are likely with human embryonic stem cells.
