legislatjan98/news.html A "Human Life Bill" proposed by Senator Helms, declaring that the life of each human being begins at conception, was blocked in the Senate by a pro-abortion filibuster in 1982. On April 28, 1976, the Senate did conduct sort of a "test vote" on a proposed Human Life Amendment to the Constitution proposed by Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC). Although this shift in party control placed a few pro-abortion Republican lawmakers in positions of increased power, and diminished the clout of a few pro-life Democrats, on the whole, the change in majority control was dramatically to the benefit of the pro-life cause. www.nrlc.org /news/1998/NRL1.98/fedle.html   (2469 words)

US helps pro-life cause at UN At a Canadian NGO briefing at the Permanent Mission of Canada to the UN, Senator Landon Pearson, the head of the delegation and the appointed personal representative of Prime Minister Jean Chretien to the Special Session on Children, distributed what she termed a 'backgrounder" on the negotiating position' at this meeting. She severely criticized the positions that pro-life and pro-family groups advocate at the UN, including that the family is the basic unit of society, the primary role of parents have in the lives of their children, and views on the reproductive health of adolescents. When the EU tried to facilitate negotiations by compromising on reproductive health services language, Canada and several other countries formed a new negotiating block called the "Like-Minded Group" (composed of Canada, New Zealand, Norway and South Korea) in order to counter any potential compromise between the U.S. and the EU. www.freerepublic.com /focus/news/726345/posts   (821 words)

Washingtonpost.com: Gore Learns From Father's Life His father, the former United States senator who gave Al his name and his life's profession, rode ahead as usual this one last time, at the front of the funeral cortege, his body resting within a solid cherry casket inside a black Sayers and Scoville hearse. Al was 8 years old during the 1956 convention and watched it on TV in Tennessee while his father was behind the scenes in Chicago working himself into a frenzy the likes of which no one had seen before from the stately senator. In trying to tell the world who his father was and what he meant to him, Al Gore was explaining his sense of self as well; doubling back on his father's life, he unavoidably encountered many of the markings of his own unfinished biography. washingtonpost.com /wp-srv/politics/campaigns/wh2000/stories/gore100399a.htm   (2610 words)
