Adult Stem-Cell Research Advances in Iowa
An Iowa organization is trying to increase the production of ethical adult stem-cell research.
The John Paul II Stem Cell Research Institute was established in Iowa City, Iowa, to create a faster, more streamlined process in doing research that will find cures and therapies using non controversial adult stem cells.
Embryonic stem-cell research always involves the destruction of human life.
One goal of the institute is to increase the number of full-time scientists to 20. Another is to educate the people of Iowa on the issue.

Planned Parenthood protests cross display because it "likens abortions to killing" Hmmm, really?
On this National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers let's spotlight 1 of their finest, Planned Parenthood of Roanoke, VA.
The Roanoke Times reports today PP of Roanoke is upset with Rainbow Forest Baptist Church for erecting 729 crosses to represent the # of babies killed in 2008 in Alleghany and Roanoke Cos....
The church has assembled the 3-ft crosses into the shape of a larger cross on a grassy knoll the church owns next to Highway US 460 and plans to keep the display up until Easter.
"They wanted it to be a memorial and a message of redemption and peace for each woman who had an abortion," says Roanoke Times.
But PP, the apparent authority on redemption, is complaining the crosses send the wrong message:

Last week I wrote about Angie Jackson, who began live tweeting her RU-486 abortion on Feb. 18 to "demystify" us, thinking it would be a "4 hour bleed out."
We learned together Jackson was grossly uninformed about the medical abortion process.
For 9 days Jackson tweeted about recurring headaches, nausea, vomiting, bleeding, pelvic pain, backaches, and cramping so bothersome she went through an entire bottle of 20 Tylenol with codeine in a week and had to ask for more (which she was apparently denied, tweeting Feb. 27, "This is definitely the most pain so far. It's distracting & makes me unhappy... Ibuprofin is a joke, ya'll")....
Meanwhile, a copycat named Next Thursday, inspired by Jackson, decided to begin tweeting her RU-486 abortion on Feb. 25....
