Re-submitted to the News: RTL Warns Colorado GOP

Re-submitted to the Rocky Mountain News, Nov. 5, 2008:

Politically speaking, our state's Personhood Amendment 48 was trounced, but 550,000 Coloradans voted 'Yes' giving us a firm baseline from which to fight for the innocent. But now that Colorado has also rejected the Republican U.S. Senate candidate Bob Schaffer, I would like to re-submit (as reported on by the Denver Post, LifeNews and appearing on the Rocky Mountain News site) Colorado Right To Life's June press release as a guest editorial:

Right To Life Warns Colorado Republican Chairman

by Leslie Hanks
CRTL V.P.
June 16, 2008

Colorado Right To Life is warning Dick Wadhams, the state Republican Party chairman, that by shunning their pro-life conservative base they're headed for another election defeat in November, three election-cycle catastrophes for the Colorado GOP, and two U.S. Senate losses for Wadhams.

Wadhams banned the nation's oldest Right To Life organization from their state convention while he welcomed a pro-abortion group. The state's top Republican is out of touch with his own party's base, where 4 out of 5 Republicans at the convention voted to defend life beginning at fertilization.

The thousands of convention delegates passed all forty resolutions offered, except for the only one that failed, the pro-abortion Resolution #21...

American RTL Unfurled DNC Sheets Of Shame

DENVER, Aug. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- An official Guinness Book of World Records^TM attempt to display the largest ever protest sign has succeeded. The 530-foot tall and 666-foot wide message is being shouted from the mountaintops overlooking the Democratic National Convention with the leading 2008 protest message.

Depending on their location, thousands of DNC delegates and journalists can look out their hotel windows to the west to see the sign. Sponsored by American RTL Action, the message initially appeared with three enormous 160-foot tall, bright yellow letters, D-N-C, stacked on top of each other.

After those letters suddenly appeared on a mountain just west of Denver, the actual full message of the sign began to unfurl. Three lines of white text, built on the vertical yellow letters read, D-N-C:

Destroys
uNborn
Children

"The tiniest boys and girls should be loved and protected," said American RTL Action president Steve Curtis, "but as nominating Barack Obama emphasizes, the DNC even supports killing kids in the womb old enough to know their mother's voice, sleep and dream, suck their thumbs, and play with their toes."

9News quotes CRTL on Embryonic Stem Cells

Colorado's NBC affiliate reported: "Colorado Right To Life urges scientists to use stem cells from umbilical cords and to stop harvesting parts from children, because it is wrong to kill the littlest boys and girls to treat others," said the group's vice president Leslie Hanks. (see video) CRTL also told 9News: "Adult stem cells have proved superior to embryonic cells, and it would be tragic if Kasie Burtard (see below) is getting inferior treatment just to make a statement about the 'right' to kill the tiniest persons."

From the 9News 5/6/08 report: Going across the globe to take a few steps

"Growing up on a ranch outside Carbondale, 26-year-old Kasie Burtard spent many days on horseback under wide open skies. ... It was a western lifestyle and way of life that, for Burtard, slipped away six years ago after a car accident on a rural road left her paralyzed from the waist down. ... Doctors told Burtard she would never walk again... That meant this woman of the West would look to the East for a controversial medical procedure in India. Burtard started to look into embryonic stem cell therapy, using cells from a single fertilized egg to try and rebuild the damage in her spinal cord. Because the procedure uses an embryo, it's illegal in the United States, opposed by many lawmakers and religious groups.

"Colorado Right to Life Vice President Leslie Hanks says there are other ways to benefit from stem cells without using embryos. 'The group urges scientists to use stem cells from umbilical cords and to stop harvesting parts from children, because it is wrong to kill the littlest boys and girls to treat others.'
