		<description><![CDATA[With government funding vanishing for programs that prevent abortions and value a pro-life perspective, how are ministries and other non-profits to fund their efforts?

Many of the Christian Ministries I work with are dismayed to find that few foundations, even Christian Foundations with conservative values, are interested in truly saving babies.

I am hopeful that as 2010 progresses foundations will recognize this need and bgin to respond to the changes in government funds to address the issue.

My company, Here-4-You Christian Grant Consulting is working with crisis pregnancy centers, single parent programs, adoption resource centers, residential services for pregnant teens, and other programs that are in desperate need of funding to continue the work they have started.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Clinton’s Attorney General Janet Reno cleared the way for the nation’s first assisted suicide law by deciding that physicians may provide lethal doses of medicine to terminally ill patients without losing their licenses to write prescriptions.&quot;

I&#039;d forgotten about this! George W. Bush&#039;s administration must have overturned this, right? If not, why not?

As for the political appointments, I&#039;m not sure pro-lifers are as uncompromising and bureaucratically savvy as the Left. Do they have anything like the 55-page plan &quot;Advancing Reproductive Rights and Health in a New Administration&quot; on all the key positions?]]></description>
