Obama Administration Covering Up Abortion Data *Updated*

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  February 3rd at 03:03 PM  | 

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 »

By: Marjorie Dannenfelser (Diary)  |  February 3rd at 11:30 AM  | 

Promoted from the diaries. – mgmt By now, I am sure most RedState readers (and 232,000+ Americans according to the latest YouTube count) have watched the shocking footage of a Planned Parenthood manager coaching a man and a woman posing as sex traffickers on how to secure secret abortions and other services for their female underage sex slaves.

Banning abortion the EPA way!

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  February 2nd at 03:30 PM  | 

Thomas Sowell has an article out today about the latest incidence of mission creep from the EPA.  To summarize: the EPA has wide discretion when it comes to oil spills.  Milk contains oil.  Therefore, the EPA has wide discretion over milk spills, too – which includes requiring ‘emergency plans’ and ‘first responders’ and ‘extra storage tanks’ from dairy farmers in order to handle such life- | Read More »

Santorum Analogy is No Gaffe

By: Curt Levey (Diary)  |  January 20th at 01:42 PM  | 

The most remarkable thing about Rick Santorum’s comparison of abortion and slavery is the mainstream media’s initial reaction treating it as a gaffe. That reaction reflects the intellectual smugness that has made “mainstream media” a bad word in much of America. The analogy between the slavery debate in the 19th century and the abortion debate in modern times is a solid one because both centered | Read More »

Kanye West Had A Point: Modern America Hates Black Unborn Children

By: Repair_Man_Jack (Diary)  |  January 20th at 10:49 AM  | 

Bureaucratic inertia is not exactly news. We understand that. But we think this was something more. We think the reason no one acted is because the women in question were poor and of color, because the victims were infants without identities, and because the subject was the political football of abortion.

The RNC Race and the Truce on Truces

By: Marjorie Dannenfelser (Diary)  |  January 13th at 03:16 PM  | 

Erick wrote a post earlier this week about the race for RNC chair titled, “Are RNC Committeemen Even Listening?” As the head of the Susan B. Anthony List, a 285,000 member non-partisan pro-life group, I’ve asked myself a similar question – Is the Republican Party listening to the grassroots on Life? This question was prompted in my mind (and in many others) by those within | Read More »

MTV’s Teen Abortion Sales Pitch: It’s Just “A Ball of Cells”

By: Lori Ziganto (Diary)  |  December 30th at 09:00 PM  | 

In July of this year, leftist Feminists were openly, and proudly, rooting for an abortion to be portrayed on prime-time television. And in April of this year, leftist Feminists like Jessica Valenti of Feministing were grossly bemoaning the fact that Mtv’s show, 16 and Pregnant, did not portray any teenage girls having abortions. They wanted sixteen year old girls to have abortions. On television.  Way | Read More »

On Vick and values

By: Bill S (Diary)  |  December 29th at 02:00 PM  | 

This past week, the President again made the mistake of speaking without consulting his handlers – this time on the topic of Michael Vick.  In this particular case, his comments came in a call to Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, who subsequently shared Obama’s comments on Vick and the Eagles with the news media.  According to the WaPo: The president has not spoken publicly about | Read More »

Put Personhood Amendments Aside to Defeat Obama, Stop Abortion

By: Steven Ertelt (Diary)  |  December 21st at 03:20 PM  | 

From the diaries by Erick With today’s release of new census figures putting the focus back on the must-win states necessary to defeat Obama in 2012, it’s important for social conservatives to understand something necessary to achieve that goal.   In order to defeat Obama and ultimately stop abortions, personhood amendments must be put aside in 2012 so the pro-life community can focus on the | Read More »

The American Idol-ization of Abortion

By: lexington_concord (Diary)  |  November 29th at 01:30 PM  | 

Last week the smut-peddlers at Gawker.com introduced us all to Pete and Alisha Arnold. Alisha Arnold is apparently 17 weeks pregnant, and the Arnolds have allegedly decided to let the Internet vote on whether Alisha will carry their son to full term or abort him. I say “allegedly” because I am fairly skeptical of whether the Arnolds intend to follow through with their plan. In | Read More »

Joe Pitts for Chairman of Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health

By: Marjorie Dannenfelser (Diary)  |  November 19th at 01:22 PM  | 

It is critical that the Energy and Commerce Committee reflect the values of the pro-life American majority that sent a freshman class to Congress with marching orders to end all federal funding of abortion. That’s why it is absolutely crucial that Rep. Joe Pitts — champion in the fight against abortion in health care and many other pro-life battles — is named chairman of its | Read More »

What’s Next for the Pro-Life Movement

By: Marjorie Dannenfelser (Diary)  |  November 9th at 04:30 PM  | 

From the diaries. Marjorie Dannenfelser is the President of the Susan B. Anthony List, one of the most effective pro-life activist groups in the country. I’d be preaching to the choir if I told Redstate readers that victories at the ballot box don’t mean a thing until they produce legislative victories. So, with major electoral gains for the pro-life movement at the ballot box this | Read More »
