No Gig for a Pro-Abort Gov

THE OAKLAND PRESS, Feb. 13 — A Catholic high school for girls in Michigan has removed lunch with Gov. Jennifer Granholm from its list of items to be auctioned off in a fund raiser. The school omitted the item because of the governor's pro-abortion stance, reported the Oakland Press.

Mercy High School of Farmington Hills planned to auction lunch with the governor at their annual “Night With the Stars” auction. Sister Regina Marie Doelker, president of the school, said the lunch was canceled after a few Mercy parents and alumnae said offering lunch with the governor would contradict the Catholic Church's pro-life teachings.

Unborn Models for Senators

TIMES COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS, Feb. 11 — Richard Black, a Republican delegate in Virginia's House of Representatives, says he has “no apologies” for sending state senators pink plastic models of unborn babies at 12 weeks’ gestation.

Black sent the life-size models, which are about 2.5 inches high, to the Virginia senators’ offices Feb. 5, along with a letter condemning abortion in which he asked senators: “Would you kill this child?”

Boycott for Buffett

LIFE DECISIONS INTERNATIONAL, Feb. 6 — Two pro-life women have launched a boycott against The Pampered Chef, a seller of high-end kitchen tools, to protest its being taken over by Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which financially supports Planned Parenthood and is chaired by pro-abortion tycoon Warren Buffett.

The two women are former Pampered Chef associates.

Life Decisions International reported on its Web site that “Cindy” from Arizona and “Cathy” from Minnesota have worked with The Pampered Chef for years but have left it and are spear-heading the boycott. Buffett, estimated to be the second wealthiest man in the world, used his personal wealth to help get the abortion pill RU-486 into the United States.

Paternal Attachment Proved

THE AGE, Feb. 12 — New research on first-time fathers shows attachment to babies can intensify as early as the first three months of a pregnancy — even before there is any observable movement of the baby in the womb, reported the Melbourne, Australia, daily newspaper.

The study, by Cherine Habib of Australia's Monash University, followed 116 first-time fathers during the first three months of their partners’ pregnancies and looked at how they felt about the profound life change they were facing. While some men were “emotionally and psychologically” involved in the very early stages of their partner's pregnancy, for others it was “an unsettling period in their lives.”
