JUDIE BROWN COMMENTARY

South Dakota lawmakers, at least a couple of them, must be suffering from severe disorientation as they reflect on post election results.

While reading one of the hundreds of post-election commentaries masquearding as news stories I came upon a coment from a Missouri voter that really put the entire election into perspective.

The wee small hours of the morning caught many of us stunned by the results in South Dakota’s abortion referendum, and anxiety ridden over what might happen in Missouri’s human embryonic stem cell balloting.

Having seen the commentaries of not a few people on the outcome of the election and what it means, I am left wondering if most writers are simply in denial.

When I read about the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Britain putting forth a proposal to kill newborn babies I was shocked. How could this be, I asked myself.

Our culture regards the intentional infliction of death as a legitimate problem-solving technique.

A dear friend sent this note to me, and I join him in fervent prayer and ask that you do likewise. Partisan politics will not save babies; you will!

Just days ago a scandal was finally ended at Most Holy Redeemer parish in San Francisco. The parish had been the sight for “Revial Bingo” hosted by the “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” a group of drag queens parading around as nuns.

Since there are pro-lifers out there taking John Cardinal O’Connor out of context when it comes to how a serious pro-lifer could or should vote, I thought it might be helpful to provide his entire comment.

Michael J. Fox breaks my heart. I’m sad to see him suffer with Parkinson’s disease-but sadder to realize that someone has given him false hope about human embryonic stem cell research.

In South Dakota those two words — healthy families — are fightin’ words. Oh yes, I kid you not.

States where history is being made, most notably Missouri and South Dakota, are in the last stretch before the vote takes place and is tallied.
