Couple of Media Appearances

Today I’m going to be on Family News In Focus, a production of Focus on the Family that is heard on many/most Protestant radio stations. I’m giving reaction to Sen. Kerry’s recent speech involving his Catholic faith and the role it does/doesn’t play in his political views. Check your local Protestant radio station’s listings for times if you’d like to catch it. Gave them the soundbites today. Don’t know how it’ll sound once they do the editing, but you might tune in.

On Wednesday I’m going to be on a state-wide PBS radio broadcast in California debating stem cells. It’s scheduled to run from 10 a.m.-11 a.m. on all the public radio stations in California. My opponent will be a researcher who I’ve debated a number of times before on this subject. Despite his views of stem cells, he’s a nice guy. He also works with mouse embryos, not human ones, which is a good thing (or I’d have to deck him). Given the liberal NPR audience, any pro-life Californians who read this and would like to call in on the show would be welcome!
