Oklahoma Senator correct - mainstream media wrong: Aborted fetal cells are used in development of flavor enhancers for food...
An onslaught of articles reported by the mainstream media earlier this week ranged from utter disbelief to crass remarks denigrating Oklahoma Senator Ralph Shortey (R) over the bill he introduced banning food products developed using aborted fetal material in his state. Unfortunately for the media, the good Senator is correct. A simple fact check would have revealed that Senator Shortey is correct about how some of our foods are being produced. The focus is on San Diego based biotech company Senomyx, who states on their website that, “We created proprietary taste receptor-based assay systems that provide a biochemical or electronic readout when a flavor ingredient interacts with the receptor.” What they don’t tell the public is that they are using HEK 293 (human embryonic kidney cells) taken from an electively aborted baby to produce those receptors. read more...

City repeals, replaces sign ordinance for pregnancy centers
The Austin City Council repealed an ordinance Thursday that requires some centers that counsel women with unplanned pregnancies to post entrance signs saying they don't offer or refer clients to abortion or birth control services. The council replaced it with a new, similar ordinance that omits "abortion" and "birth control" from the signs and instead requires the centers to say on the signs whether they offer medical services under the direction of a licensed health care provider. Attorneys for the centers said Thursday that the new wording still unfairly singles out their clients and that they plan to proceed with their lawsuit. read more...

Action Alert: Obama administration and Planned Parenthood attack religious freedom
The chairman of the USCCB pro-life committee, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, said this week that the religious exemption in the HHS ruling to require health insurance plans to cover sterilization and contraception free of charge is so narrow that Jesus himself would not qualify for it.
Yet the Obama administration has refused to broaden the exemption. In a move she says “strikes the appropriate balance between respecting religious freedom and increasing access to important preventive services,” Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, gave religious employers an extended deadline, until August 1, 2013, to comply. read more...

Oklahoma lawmaker wants to stop Pepsi from using aborted fetus cells in soda flavoring research
In order to simulate various flavors in processed foods, some food manufacturers are actually using aborted fetal cells to test and produce these artificial chemical enhancers that millions of Americans consume every single day.
