Cardinal Daniel Dinardo of Houston-Galveston, Texas, chairman of the Committee on Pro-Life Activities of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. (CNSNews.com) - The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is soliciting the support of Congress for the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act (H.R. 5939), introduced by Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) at the end of July. It would codify a permanent ban on taxpayer-funded abortions.

“H.R. 5939 will write into permanent law a policy on which there has been strong popular and congressional agreement for over 35 years: The federal government should not use taxpayers’ money to support and promote elective abortion,” Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston/Houston and chairman of the USCCB Committee on Prolife Activities, wrote in a recent letter to members of Congress.

The letter addresses assumptions that a ban on federally funded abortion already exists under the Hyde Amendment.

A group of Republicans on Capitol Hill are taking a stand for traditional marriage by blasting the federal judge who ruled against California's Proposition 8."It simply doesn't get much worse than this: you have a biased judge imposing his personal views contrary to the wishes of the majority of the people of the state," Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said."Until the American people change that Constitution, it's not up to a judge to hold their own constitutional convention every time the court is in session," added Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn.Those are two of the 15 Republicans speaking out against Judge Vaughn Walker's decision to strike down Prop 8.

Crowley said the department is sending imam Feisal Abdul Rauf to Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates, where he will discuss Muslim life in America and promote religious tolerance."We have a long-term relationship with him," Crowley told reporters. "His work on tolerance and religious diversity is well-known and he brings a moderate perspective to foreign audiences on what it's like to be a practicing Muslim in the United States."Rauf is leading the controversial Cordoba mosque project two blocks from Ground Zero.

Off Shore Drilling in Brazil

"Today, even though President Obama is against off shore drilling for our country, he signed an executive order to loan 2 Billion of our taxpayers dollars to a Brazilian Oil Exploration Company (which is the 8th largest company in the entire world) to drill for oil off the coast of Brazil ! The oil that comes from this operation is for the sole purpose and use of China and NOT THE USA ! Now here's the real clincher...the Chinese government is under contract to purchase all the oil that this oil field will produce, which is hundreds of millions of barrels of oil".

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Members of the Senate began their debate today on the nomination of pro-abortion activist Elena Kagan to replace retiring pro-abortion Justice John Paula Stevens on the Supreme Court. Two things appear likely: that Kagan will secure enough votes and that she will become a judicial activist.But that didn't stop lawmakers from exposing her judicial activist background."It is all but certain," pro-life Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama said, "that, if confirmed, Ms. Kagan will bring to the [Court] a progressive activist judicial philosophy which holds that unelected judges are empowered to set national policy from the bench." Sessions said she lacks "real world" experience and would be tempted to engage in "political spin" from the high court.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israeli officials have identified many of the protestors who took part in the Gaza freedom flotilla as Islamic radicals. 

    The flotilla protestors declared the army of Mohammed was coming, hoped for martyrdom and some even prepared their wills, begging the question - was the freedom flotilla a humanitarian mission or a radical Islamic plot?    "This is an effort to delegitimize the state of Israel and deny it its fundamental rights," said Dore Gold, Israel's former ambassador to the United Nations. "What Israel engaged in was a legal blockade of a terrorist entity," Gold continued. "Blockades are used by the British, by the U.S., by many countries who are engaged in war. And Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, is at war with the state of Israel, calls for its destruction; launches Iranian rockets at our civilians."J
