Pro-Life Powerhouses Rally Around Controversial Embryo-Death Suit
CHICAGO, Nov. 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- On Friday, briefs were filed in the Illinois Appellate Court over the wrongful death of frozen embryos at an in vitro fertilization clinic, the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR) in Chicago. With major reproductive rights issues at stake, nine national and Illinois based pro-life and pro-family organizations including Concerned Women for America, Illinois Citizens for Life and the Catholic Conference of Illinois filed an amici curiae or "friends of the court" brief. The Chicago-based Thomas More Society, which represents the Coalition, has been involved in several high-profile cases of this nature. Thomas More Society brings added legal expertise to a potentially volatile issue, with sweeping ramifications for reproductive technology and stem-cell research.
New smoking ban in effect, as is old black market for loosies
Gregory Laurence walked into a West Side gas station last month with a handful of change and what's become a routine request in some parts of the city. Offering a dollar's worth of quarters, nickels and dimes, Laurence asked for "two Newports." Fellow smokers lined up behind to make the same transaction: A couple of smokes for a dollar, or one for 65 cents.
For many, this exchange wouldn't sound like a good deal, especially when a pack of 20 cigarettes hovers around $7. But in some of Chicago's most impoverished neighborhoods, the practice of buying individual cigarettes -- known as "loosies" or "loose squares" -- has long been a way of life.
"You go in every station here, they're asking" for one or two cigarettes, said Iqual Randhawa, owner of the Phillips 66 at Western Avenue and Lake Street.
Domestic Spying
Cenk Uygur: Why Do You Need Immunity If You Haven't Broken the Law? (1 comments) The Bush administration is desperately trying to get immunity for the telecom companies inserted into the next wiretapping bill. But let me ask a simple question - why would the telecom companies need immunity if they didn't break the law? I'm not trying to be clever here. I'm asking a literal question. Isn't this an obvious admission that the administration did ask the large telecommunication companies to break the law ? Tuesday, October 9: Dave Lindorff: What are Progressives Waiting For? (8 comments) The Democrats have made it clear: They're not going to end the war, and they're not going to impeach. They're not even going to stop the spying on Americans. How much more abuse do progressives plan to stand for? Dean Powers: On Wiretapping, Democrats Ask Bush: "Would You Like it Gift-Wrapped?" (6 comments) Rooting for the Democrats is like rooting for the Chicago Cubs...
Scapegoating Home-Schoolers
Obama confronts a history of often uneasy and competitive relations between blacks and Hispanics, particularly as they have jockeyed for influence in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and New York. "Many Latinos are not ready for a person of color," Natasha Carrillo, 20, of East Los Angeles, said. "I don't think many Latinos will vote for Obama. There's always been tension in the black and Latino communities. There's still that strong ethnic division. I helped organize citizenship drives, and those who I've talked to support [Mrs.] Clinton." Is there any way the Democrats bridge the fissures opened by identity politics? A reader calls our attention to an old CNSNews.com story from October 2001, which seems oddly relevant today: Former President Bill Clinton was honored as the nation's first black president Saturday at the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Annual Awards Dinner on in Washington, DC.

Good And Green is designed to teach mainstream national marketers the techniques, benefits and bottom line impact of connecting with today's ecologically-concerned consumers through green marketing efforts.
