Brief news post, April 20 Webcast, AUL’s legal guides for 2010, Three R’s

Just a brief news update post tonight. Tomorrow night, April 20 2010, 40 Days for Life is holding a live webcast. Register online now for this event. I’m looking forward to this. Also Americans United for Life has a list of legal guides on their site. You may have seen their guides before. I had the Defending Life 2009 guide already but I checked for updated material tonight and there’s a page of links to 2010 guides on their site. Family Research Council also has a site dedicated to helping concerned Americans learn how to take action to get our country on track after the recent Obamacare abomination. (I almost said “back on track”, but we’ve been off-track for so long it ain’t even funny.) Learn about the Three R’s: Replace, Repeal, Restore.

A Good Bad Example (from this past August 2009), written by Wesley J. Smith. Smith is a bioethics attorney, author and speaker, writer of the blog Secondhand Smoke at First Things, and writer/speaker of the podcast What It Means To Be Human, and a senior fellow of the Discovery Institute.
