RANDALL L. TOBIAS, ADVOCATE OF ABSTINENCE TILL MARRIAGE AND FAITHFULNESS WITHIN MARRIAGE WAS A REGUALR CUSTOMER OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY MADAM, Deborah Jeane Palfrey. Tobias took on leadership of the Bush administration's Presidential Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, a.k.a. PEPFAR, a five-year, $15-billion program to provide treatment and HIV prevention to millions of Africans, Vietnamese, Haitians and Guyanese - far less funding has been devoted to encouraging condom use. In order to receive funding, countries and aid organizations had to officially denounce or oppose prostitution, which, when it equates with unsafe sex, is a vector for the spread of HIV. Tobias, who is married, said that he liked "to have gals come over to the condo to give me a massage." He insisted the massages were not sexual. But the State Department's call for abolition of prostitution is an absolutist moral declaration, which, in principle at least, Tobias appears to have violated. Tobias also spearheaded efforts to prevent AIDS primarily through other faith-based values programs that seek to delay first sexual experiences in teenagers, encourage sexual abstinence except for married couples and encourage faithfulness within marriage. more...

VAN GOLDEN, A CHRISTIAN , PRO LIFE, TEXAN, RECEIVES MEDICAL TREATMENT FROM ABORTED FETUSES. Van Golden has sold his house so that he could travel to communist, ATHEIST China to obtain treatment for his damaged spine which resulted from a car accident. Golden says, " I wish there was another way they could do it. There are 4,ooo abortions a day in the US. Partial-birth ones are murder on a most terrible level. What they are doing here is a whole lot more humane." Dr Huang, the Chinese doctor who pioneered the treatment says that the fetuses used should be around 16 weeks for best results. more...


PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, PRO LIFE AND FAMILY VALUES ADVOCATE, GIVES SAUDI ARABIA THE O' OKAY FOR SEX SLAVERY. He decided to waive any financial sancions on Saudi Arabia for failing to do enough to stop the modern day slave trade in prostitutes, child sex workers and forced laborers. Earlier on In his speech at the National Training Conference on Human Trafficking he stated that "...Human life is the gift of our Creator - and it should never be for sale. It takes a special kind of depravity to exploit and hurt the most vulnerable members of society. Human traffickers rob children of their innocence, they expose them to the worst to life before they have seen much of life. Traffickers tear families apart. They treat their victims as nothing more than goods and commodities for sale to the highest bidder." more...


PAT ROBERTSON, PRO-LIFE ADVOCATE & CHIEF OF THE CHRISTIAN COALITION SUPPORTS ABORTION OF CHINESE FETUSES: Asked about China's "one child" policy that can result in state-ordered abortions, Robertson said: "I don't agree with it . But they've got 1.2 billion people, and they don't know what to do. If every family over there was allowed to have three or four children, the population would be completely unsustainable...I dont' think the United States needs to intefere with what they're doing internally in this regard." Robertson's interview provoked the right and the left. Kate Michelman, president of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights League, said she saw the interview and "was astonished." NARAL opposes forced abortions and laws prohibiting abortions as violations of a woman's right to control reproduction. Michelman, said Robertson revealed "the deeply cynical side of his views...The only thing he is consistent about is his opposition to the right of women to choose." more...


WILLIAM BENNETT, A TRADITIOAL VALUES ADVOCATE STATED THAT IF ALL BLACK BABIES WERE ABORTED THE CRIME RATE WOULD GO DOWN: In 1993 he wrote "The Book of Virtues." which stresses traditional family values and became a lecrurer on moral issues. In 2003, he admitted he was a heavy gambler after news reports that he had lost millions of dollars in casinos. more...

(It seems Robertson and Bennett believe that the aborting of white Christian fetuses is murder, while the aborting of Chinese and black fetuses is not. If abortion is murder, then it should make no difference whether the population is 1.2 billion or 1 thousand or whether black fetuses are perceived to be future criminals. After all, fetuses are all innoncent regardless of colour or nationality. Pro-lifers never tire of telling us that abortion is the worst possible crime/sin that one can committ. Robertson and Bennett may be sexist, racist and ignorant but they do have a role to play - to educate the public of the hypocricy of the religious right!)
