Struggling for Life: How our Tax Dollars and Twisted Science Target the Unborn, (Fort Lauderdale, FL: Center for Reclaiming America for Christ, 2006.) $9.00.

Publisher's Description: The most dangerous time in any child's life is his or her first nine months. That's because abortion takes one out of every four children conceived in America, making the route from womb to tomb very short for millions of unborn boys and girls. "Struggling for Life" provides a shocking glimpse into how your tax dollars and twisted biomedical research are targeting the unborn. Written by Dr. Kelly Hollowell, WND contributor and founder of Science Ministries, Inc., this riveting, sometimes personal account details the gushing flow of federal dollars into the coffers of America's leading abortion performer.

It doesn't help that American taxpayers underwrite the nation's leading abortion performer, Planned Parenthood, which took in $265 million in government grants and contracts in 2003-2004 and killed 244,628 unborn children. Now taxpayers are being asked to fund medical research that kills five- to seven-day-old humans in order to harvest their stem cells. We are in an historic struggle to protect life from those who seek to profit from the unborn.

"Struggling for Life" also scrutinizes the inflated claims of those in the scientific community who want taxpayers to pay for research that destroys human embryos. Dr. Hollowell, a Senior Bioethics Strategist at the Center for Reclaiming America for Christ, also lays out an innovative four-step strategy to restore legal protection to unborn children.

Commentary: Jefferson once said, "To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." So how much more tyrannical is it to compel a man to subsidize with his taxes something that he believes to be murder? The U.S. Government, a corrupt and unconstitutional trustee that egregiously usurps the authority and powers delegated to it, as we, the people, routinely are forced to subsidize abortions with our federal tax dollars. If we refuse to pay this extortion to subsidize murder: then it's quite possible the government will come arrest you for tax evasion. But naturally, since the President supports a culture of life—which somehow allows for a needless war in Iraq that has resulted in 600,000+ casualties, he can find a little room subsidizing the murder of a quarter-of-million unborn children with our federal tax dollars.

In antiquity, the pagan Canaanites would erect sacrificial temples to slaughter the unborn to appease the deities of Baal and Moloch. A firey-hot hand of a statue was utilized to hold the infant before they were slid into the flames. To modern ears, this is barbaric and heinous, and yet in the United States of America we have tolerated the legal murder of over 50,000,000+ unborn children since the national legalization of abortion by an illicit court ruling without any constitutional authority. Babies are butchered in their mother's womb. Our immoral culture will not accept the consequences of intimacy: namely pregnancy. It wants convenience and immediate gratification to rationalize murder. The judiciary in providing intellectual cover for this immorality invented the genius sophistry that the right to privacy has a concomitant right to murder. The death toll of legalized abortion exceeds the number of casualties in World War II; it exceeds the numbers of Holocaust victims; and it exceeds the number of people who died in Joseph Stalin's forced famines in the Ukraine and Russia in the 1930s. All of it has the full blessing and even financing of our amoral U.S. government. Jefferson once said of slavery, "Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just." How much more should we tremble at the specter of culture that is so casual towards infanticide that its tax dollars are used to support it?

Uncle Sam turns our tax dollars into blood money under the auspices of Title X. of the Health and Human Services Budget. None of this constitutional and contravenes natural law. It violates the 10th Amendment and the 14th Amendment. To add insult to injury, our sitting President who always is mugging for cameras while talking about the culture of life he supposedly supports, never vetoes this legislation, but instead signs it into law. That's rubber-stamping murder. It's not like he does not know what it is for either.

Blame George W. Bush. Laura Bush says of Roe v. Wade, "No, I don't think it should be overturned." Such is the Bush family commitment to pro-life issues. Her husband lied and told you that he won't use tax dollars to fund abortions in 2004, after he had being using your tax dollars to fund abortions for the first four years of his administration. Harry Truman had a sign on his desk that says, "The buck stops here." The simple of fact of the matter is Bush can veto abortion subsidies, and it would take 2/3rd of the Congress overrule him, and even then the President could be just in executive interposition to arrest the practice because it's not constitutional anyway. This business of subsidizing abortion might have started under Clinton, but for all of George W. Bush's duplicitous hue and cry about how he supports pro-life issues, he does nothing at all to interpose his presidential authority and arrest this heinous evil. The Bush Justice Department never exercised any of its legal muscle pursuing cases against partial-birth abortions when Congress made it illegal. It was a hollow political gesture.
