Dismantling the Culture of Death

Written by Paul Dean

Wednesday, 06 August 2008

“The New York Times article ‘Abortion Proposal Sets Condition on Aid’ incited
great controversy and ambiguity regarding rights of health care workers to
exercise ‘objections of conscience’ when asked to perform abortions or prescribe
medicines that destroy pre-nascent human life,” writes Jennifer Kimball, the
Executive Director of the Culture of Life Foundation located in Washington D.C.
The pro-abortion lobby claims that enforcing such rights limits women’s access
to contraceptive services. Kimball responds quite plainly, “What is at stake,
however, is not a woman¹s access to contraceptive services or abortion, but the
progressive allowance of coercive practices in the health care industry that
force medical practitioners to perform non-medical acts and prescribe
non-therapeutic medicines, such as abortifacients, against their right to
conscientiously object to what they know to be the killing of human life.” She
is concerned that our most basic freedoms are being eroded. We agree.

On today’s edition of “Calling for Truth,” we’ll speak with Jennifer Kimball
about this issue. We’ll then wrap-up the broadcast with worldview implications
and a biblical response.

The Culture of Life Foundation is a social policy research institute that exists
to reveal and present the truths about the human person at all stages of life
and in all conditions.

We aim to affect public policy by promoting and making available to the public
scientific and other factual information relevant to debates about human life
and dignity. To this end The Culture of Life Foundation seeks as educator to
deepen public understanding of bioethics, marriage and family, human dignity and
human solidarity.

What we do:
•    Inform people in government, media and citizens of the scientific facts
and resources pertaining to life and related social issues.
•    Shape public policy to reflect the essential truth and dignity of the
human person.
•    Publish and promote scholarly work intended to inform the broadest
possible audience.
•    Organize conferences and events domestically and internationally to
further public debate.
•    Work collegially with like-minded organizations.

Vision:

The Culture of Life Foundation believes that true freedom flourishes within a
responsible and cohesive society respectful of the dignity of the human person
central to its subsistence. We aim to foster a culture that will transmit to
each new generation a commitment to the profound inherent and equal dignity of
every member of the human family.
