British churches may be forced to hire gay and lesbian staff beginning next year if the Equity Bill passes. This makes sense. Given the logic of gay rights advocacy, and its comparison of gay rights to civil rights, if a church cannot decline to hire someone on the basis of their race, then neither can they decline to hire someone on the basis of their sexual orientation. This may be coming to a U.S. church near you! Remember New Hampshire? Their House of Representatives initially voted down a same-sex marriage bill because they didn’t want to allow religious organizations to opt-out of participating in same-sex ceremonies. The trend is moving toward decreased religious liberty.

New York is Buying Eggs (and not from chickens)
Posted by Jason Dulle under Apologetics, Bioethics, Cloning[2] Comments
Does anyone remember the promises from the legislators, scientists, and bioethicists that they would not pay women for their eggs for use in cloning research? As with most bioethical promises, they are handed out like candy in order to obtain the desired political result, only to be taken back once that result has been realized. Apparently, New York has decided it will pay as much as $10,000 for women to donate their eggs for cloning research. What’s the problem with that, you say? The problem is that the hyper-ovulation drugs used for the procedure can have adverse effects including sterilization, and even death.
