Catholic Fire

Johnson County District Attorney Phill Kline announced this evening that he is running for re-election to the post, just one day short of the filing deadline. As attorney general and later as district attorney, the pro-life Republican has been embroiled in a battle against Planned Parenthood due to their illegal late-term abortions. In his statement to the press tonight, Kline mentioned his unresolved criminal investigation against Planned Parenthood of Olathe. It appears PP, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, and the corrupt KS judicial system are trying to run out the clock on Kline's landmark criminal case against the abortion giant. Kline's announcement means a August primary face-off against Steve Howe, who KS Sens. Sam Brownback and Pat Roberts have already endorsed. Will Brownback now decide to back the man who once backed him when it wasn't cool? Had Kline decided not to run, it would have been admitting defeat to PP. You have got to love this guy for his determination and s...

Washington, DC - Led by Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS), thirteen United States Senators have called for end to Federal funding for organizations that promote abortions. The group of Senators sent a letter on Tuesday to Senator Tom Harkin, Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations, and Representative David Obey, Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, urging the passage of an amendment that would suspend Federal funding for abortions in light of the recent 107 criminal charges against Planned Parenthood in Kansas and other incidents of concern around the nation. The 13 Senators joined their voices with a coalition of 60 pro-life/pro-family groups , including Operation Rescue, in asking Congress to stop funding organizations that promote abortions. Senators signing the Brownback letter were David Vitter (R-LA), Jim Bunning (R-KY), John Barrasso (R-WY), Elizabeth Dole (R-NC), Mike Enzi (R-WY), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), James Inhofe (R-OK), Jon K...

The Wichita Eagle's attempts at demonstrating they are fair-minded about presenting human life issues is laughable. The majority of their articles defend late-term abortionist George Tiller and his political cohorts who accept blood money from him for their campaigns and look the other way when he breaks the law or give him a little slap on the wrist. To demonstrate that they are unbiased the Eagle published this short article on Senator Brownback's pro-life stance today. Today's Wichita Eagle presents an adapted excerpt from Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback's new book, "From Power to Purpose: A Remarkable Journey of Faith and Compassion" (Thomas Nelson). It's a straightforward excerpt of the Senator's position and thoughts on the The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists new guidelines recommending that all pregnant women be offered screening to determine whether their child may have Down syndrome, the consequences of that recommendation, a...

"We need to protect innocent life. Period." ~Senator Sam Brownback

By John Jalsevac TAYLORS, S.C., June 11, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – In a talk to the National Catholic Men’s Conference this past weekend, Senator Sam Brownback criticized the commonly held notion that abortion should always be allowed in cases of rape, reports the Associated Press. “Rape is terrible. Rape is awful,” Brownback said to the approximately 500 conference attendees, but then asked, “Is it made any better by killing an innocent child? Does it solve the problem for the mother that’s been raped?” “We need to protect innocent life. Period.” The June 9th conference was hosted by St. Joseph’s Covenant Keepers. The president of the conference, Steve Wood, in introducing Senator Brownback criticized politicians who call themselves Catholic, but who in their public life repudiate fundamental Catholic teachings, specifically on abortion. “I don’t know about you,” said Wood, “but this stuff by many Catholic politicians who say, ‘I’m personally opposed, but.’ But what?
