* CoG for Life Asks Medical Profession & Pro-Life Families: 'Just Say no 
to New Aborted Fetal Vaccine'

TENNESSEE, July 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- Children of God for Life is 
calling on the Medical Profession to "just say no" to the newly US 
licensed aborted fetal vaccine, Pentacel, made by Sanofi Pasteur. On 
June 26th the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP) 
recommended the vaccine be added to the immunization schedule for 
children, despite the fact that moral alternatives have been used in the 
US for years.

"We find it strange that the ACIP would recommend Pentacel in particular 
when children are already receiving untainted versions of these vaccines 
in their routine series of shots", said Debi Vinnedge, Executive 
Director for Children of God for Life.

Pentacel is a combination vaccine of Diptheria, Pertussis, Tetanus 
(DTaP) plus HiB and Polio. The polio portion of the vaccine uses aborted 
fetal cell line MRC-5, taken from the lung tissue of an electively 
aborted 14-week gestation baby.

"If a 5 in 1 vaccine is desired, why not recommend the ethical version, 
Pediarix, by Glaxo SmithKline?" Vinnedge wanted to know. "The only 
difference between the two is that Pediarix protects against Hepatitis-B 
instead of HiB. Doctors using Pediarix today give separate shots for 
HiB. With Pentacel they will still have to give separate shots for 
Hepatitis-B so its not like Pentacel is reducing the number of injections."

Vinnedge noted the push for Pentacel by the ACIP seems like a financial 
plug for Sanofi Pasteur, since sales of the vaccine may be lagging in 
both the US and Canada. Last year Canadian Physicians for Life 
successfully lobbied for access to Pediacel, a European version 
identical to Pentacel, except it does not use aborted fetal cell lines.

In May 2006, the Catholic Medical Association issued a formal statement 
noting that, "When alternative vaccines are available, they must be used 
in place of those produced by immoral means." Likewise, the Christian 
Medical and Dental Association have repeatedly called on the industry to 
stop using aborted fetal cell lines in vaccine production.

"It is our hope that physicians will simply continue purchasing the 
competing products they have used for years", Ms Vinnedge added. "The 
only way these drug companies will get the message is when their bottom 
line suffers and in the case of Pentacel, we certainly hope it will."

Pro-Lifers Picket NEA Convention: Chuck Donovan, Nellie Gray, Jim 
Sedlak, Rev. Childress, Bob Pawson Speak Out; NEA Endorses Obama

WASHINGTON, July 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- Pro-Life leaders united to 
confront the National Education Association leadership's pro-abortion 
resolutions, policies, and activism at two press conferences sponsored 
by Pro- Life Educators And Students during the NEA convention in 
Washington, DC. The first was held inside the Family Research Council 
newsroom; another outside the Washington Convention Center. Pro-lifers 
picketed the NEA convention and various state offices. Reports are 
coming in from organizers such as: Dr. Seriah Rein, NJ; Rev. Matt 
Trewhella, WI; Rod Clay, OH; Dan Cassidy, SC; Jeff White, CA; Mary 
Forester, NE.

FRC; Missy Smith, WAKEUP./

NEA's record of endorsing pro-abortion Democrats continued. Of NEA's 
9,105 delegates: 8,578 voted; 527 abstained. 6,841 or 79.8% of those 
voting chose Obama: the lowest percentage in recent history. Kerry 
received 86.5%; Gore 89.5%; Clinton 91.5% (1996) and 88.2% (1992).

"The letters N-E-A should stand for Never Endorse Anybody", said Bob 
Pawson of PLEAS, "Especially not candidates so fiercely committed to 
killing future students in their mothers' wombs. When NEA leaders 
complain about No Child Left Behind - understand that fifty million 
American children have indeed been left behind: in medical waste 
containers, incinerators, and landfills."

"Disappointed NEA delegates expected Obama to speak in person, not by 
satellite. Perhaps weeks of internet buzz about pro-life prayer-&-picket 
demonstrations at the NEA Convention and state- affiliate offices 
persuaded Obama's web-savvy, media- wary advisors to nix his appearance."

"NEA's leaders claim they support so-called 'friends of education'. 
Nonsense! Pro-abortion candidates can never truly be 'friends of 
education' or educators. Such morbid 'friends' are lethal to babies - 
and to teachers' jobs. Tragically, NEA's pro-abortion leadership also 
fails to qualify," said Pawson, a Trenton, NJ teacher. "Friends don't 
let friends kill babies."

"It is illogical, immoral, unethical and unprofessional for teacher 
unions to engage in abortion advocacy. NEA is supposed to use our dues 
monies to protect our jobs. Aborting babies - future students - also 
aborts teachers' careers. The leadership foolishly and perversely 
divides us over non-job-related issues - like abortion - then expects us 
to be unified for contract negotiations or strikes."

"Pro-Life NEA members across America can remedy this situation by 
running for office - at all levels of NEA. Especially run to become 
Convention Delegates. Let's regain control over our union! Restore 
proper stewardship over our professional association and profession. 
Help neutralize the NEA and state affiliates on abortion and many other 
social, political, and moral issues. Don't quit the NEA; take it back."
