I’m afraid we need a little Sunday morning theology. Hopefully someone at the White House will read this and realize just how ill advised the President was to do what he did this week and we should be praying hard for him to see the error of his ways on this. In the Bible we read these things: “And God blessed them. And God said | Read More »
The left and right can together admit that the Susan G. Komen Foundation has just had three days of horrible publicity. They did the right thing and should have mapped out a release strategy better. My suspicion is that they assumed the purity of their intentions would override the abortion lobby’s demands. I heard today that while small donations are up more than 100% to | Read More »
“The CDC told us last week there were ‘no plans’ to release the data. The CDC now says it is scheduled for ‘this month’. Did the CDC just not bother looking at the editorial calendar it now tells us is booked ‘well in advance’?” It’s never the action, it’s the cover up. Yesterday RedState broke a significant story which points to the Centers for Disease | Read More »
Let’s be clear: promoting science isn’t just about providing resources – it is also about protecting free and open inquiry. It is about letting scientists … do their jobs, free from manipulation or coercion, and listening to what they tell us, even when it’s inconvenient – especially when it’s inconvenient. It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a | Read More »
We can’t Bart Stupak go without a parting gift. Judas, after all, got 30 silver coins to sell out our Lord. Stupak needs something for selling out all the children sent off to be slaughtered thanks to his “compromise” that any President can pen away to oblivion — notwithstanding the questionable legal assumptions behind it. Let’s send him 100 silver coins. It’s only a $4.00 | Read More »
“The Democrats can give all the cover they want to Stupak, but the Senate GOP will show the cover to be the fig leaf it is.” Credit where it is due: the Senate GOP has come up with a great strategy to combat talk of compromise on reconciliation. The Senate GOP will block any effort to strip abortion funding in reconciliation. This may get a | Read More »
Quin Hillyer has a great article at the Washington Times about the canard that is reconciliation. Mark Thiessen makes a similar argument. In short, the Democrats are telling pro-life Democrats to vote for the Senate pro-abortion funding health care plan and then Nancy Pelosi promises to use reconciliation to defund abortion. There’s just one problem — abortion rights is not a deficit issue. As a | Read More »
This Sunday the nation will be treated to a very controversial thirty second advertisement during the Super Bowl. It will be about a mother whose doctor told her she had to have an abortion because she was ill and her son would either die or be severely handicapped. She chose life instead and her son, Tim Tebow, grew up to quarterback for Florida. There will | Read More »
“We renew our pledge … to work to support candidates who will do everything in their power to someday bring about the day when Roe v. Wade joins Scott v. Sandford as an aberrant footnote to our nation’s great history.” On this day 37 years ago, seven unelected lawyers (all male) spat on centuries of Western tradition, the plain text of the Constitution, and decades | Read More »
Editor’s Note: I’ve taken out the top of this post, which responded to Ramesh Ponnuru’s post about my NRLC criticisms. I’ve been saying we should not let this become a debate on abortion or other single issues and therefore don’t think I can justify in my mind continuing that conversation. But, the larger point on the “Stupak Minimum” is worth keeping as it plays to | Read More »
“The danger is that the GOP will start with the presupposition that the health care bill will pass and work to ‘improve’ it. The GOP must get out of that mindset.” It is more and more clear that the House of Representatives will not keep Bart Stupak’s amendment in the health care legislation. Harry Reid will put something abortion related in the Senate version, but | Read More »
The Democrats’ health care legislation passed the House of Representatives on Saturday by three votes. Under the Democrats’ plan, should you fail to obtain health insurance, you will go to jail for five years. Leading up to the vote, pro-lifers engaged in a battle against each other over the “Stupak Amendment” offered by pro-life Democrat Bart Stupak. By Sunday, pro-lifers were suffering numerous recriminations from | Read More »
Friends, I’m on vacation on a mountain top in rural Georgia. Cell phone service is non-existent. Internet is hit, but mostly miss. I have come down off the mountain today for one reason and one reason only: To make sure you read this. It is the one and only thing you need to read today and it pleases me greatly a friend wrote it. Someone | Read More »
That may be the case. In an interview with GQ, Michael Steele sounds very much like he is declaring himself pro-abortion. Are you saying you think women have the right to choose abortion? Yeah. I mean, again, I think that’s an individual choice. You do? Yeah. Absolutely. Now, to be fair, his solution is a federalist solution to let the individual states decide — a | Read More »
This should not surprise us: Planned Parenthood of Indiana has suspended a nurse after the release of an undercover videotape showing her coaching a supposed 13-year-old on how to duck Indiana’s laws about parental consent on abortion and the reporting of child sex abuse. Folks, they do this all the time. These reports come from all over the country. Planned Parenthood suspended the nurse. But | Read More »
Promoted up top in light of tonight’s debate. Editorial Note: People forget this issue came up more than once in Illinois. In 2001, Obama was concerned about abortion rights and the impact the Born Alive Infant Protection Act would have on abortion rights. In 2002, those concerns were addressed and fixed in the legislation. Now Obama’s concerns were more clear. His views on life had | Read More »
It took him a while to get the abortion ad to the press. He uses a planned parenthood nurse. No, not a nurse from the general medical field. He uses a nurse whose job it is to perform abortions to tell us all how we must not curtail the right to an abortion. Obama does not mention in the ad that reducing abortions would impact | Read More »
I’ll be on Hannity & Colmes tonight to talk about RedState’s coverage of Obama’s opposition to the Born Alive Infant Protection Act and our coverage related thereto, including today’s post on Obama’s statements from the floor of the Illinois State Senate. I should be on between 9:00 and 9:30.
