It appears Michelle Rollins may have been more than personally pro-choice. She was a donor to Wish List (see the excerpt from the website below), which identifies those who disagree as extremists seems to only recognize one type of woman. It seems to be trying to remake the GOP. More than half of Republican women need [...]

Stop Pro-Abortion Health Bill say the Catholic Bishops in a final appeal. I concur. There is no health value in increasing abortion. It is the gravest of evils. I oppose this bill because I believe it is poor policy. The other side believes that more Americans benefit than are harmed. I believe it is possible [...]

A bipartisan group of legislators is working to ban sex selection abortions and targeting racial groups for abortion. Planned Barrenhood is organized genocide. From the very beginning, racist Magaret Sanger planned to target the groups that did not meet her standard for population control. From The Citizen At a March 1925 international birth control gathering in [...]

CBS is airing a commercial celebrating life and family during the Superbowl because they were paid two and half million dollars (just like any other ad). It features Heisman Trophy recipient Tim Tebow and his mother. She was advised to get an abortion but chose life and celebrates that decision today. Somehow, that is controversial among [...]

January 22, 1973 is a the day America abandoned the pretense of absolute law. The Roe v. Wade decision based upon tortured emanations from the penumbras of the 14th amendment was nothing more than an intellectual exercise to unleash open season on our most vulnerable of citizens. It had no legal basis and overturned the [...]

Senator Nelson from NE finally got close to his language restricting abortion funding. He also got some language to get more funding for medicaid in his state. The problem with the compromise is that it is not the same language as the house Stupack amendment. The reason the senator offered the same amendment originally is [...]

Senate Democrats have included a monstrous pro-abortion mandate in health deform legislation. According to the NY Times, the senate bill has a requirement that an insurance plan covering abortion be available in every market. The so-called funding ban is viewed as an accounting sham. It may use private money for the abortion part and subsidize [...]

An abortionist killed two women by accident and is now involved in a lawsuit where a woman was not allowed to change her mind correction she was deceived into thinking it was another procedure and they covered her mouth and held her down when she objected to an abortion. I guess safe and legal means [...]

I commented early on Dave Anderson’s thread on social conservatism vis a vis Fiscal Conservatism and I thought that the question was one of political strategy. I like those kind of questions because political strategy and organization is where one wins elections on the margins. There is no secret to winning elections in Wilmington. Be [...]

A Planned Parenthood Director saw an abortion on ultrasound and quit. She had a spiritual conversion and now volunteers outside the abortion mill to get preventative alternatives to women. PP responded with legal persecution of her to “protect the confidentiality of their clients.” I love stories like this because they remind us all there is [...]

The vote is Monday on a bill to require signage posted saying the centers do not provide or refer for abortions, it does not require abortion mills to do say they do not encourage adoptions. In other news, Baltimore is requiring churches to say they do not offer porn and McDonalds to say they do [...]

The Stupak amendment banning abortion funding has been dropped from the combined Health Care bill in the House. National Right to Life explained the situation. The full release can be viewed on the first draft page. Forget about bi-partisanship in both houses it seems that they don’t even want to hear from Democrats with concerns. [...]
Thanks to the assistance of Pandora I have raised my lazy blogger self out of oblivion. I originally posted about voting procedures in North Carolina on this site. The comments meandered through every conceivable Constitutional Argument one can imagine. Near the end of 54 comments about we drifted into a discussion on sexism. Reading this [...]

Senator Tom Carper has no vote of conviction on the health care debate. He votes with Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus limiting abortion and against the Rockefeller amendment for a so-called public option. He then votes against the Hatch amendments including the very important conscience clause which would prevent health care workers and hospitals from [...]

If there is no need to be concerned about abortion in health care reform like the majority of Americans are? Why did the Senate Finance Committee including our own Tom Carper vote down the Hatch amendments?

Members of the U.S. Senate Financial Services Committee will be voting NEXT TUESDAY on amendments to keep abortion coverage out of Sen. Max Baucus’s (D-Mont.) health care bill. Sen. Baucus’s health care bill explicitly includes abortion and would subsidize health plans that cover all elective abortions. Such subsidies for abortion goes well beyond the status [...]

Recent birthday man, Governor Mike Huckabee is blowing the whistle on a stealth movement by the far left to make America’s liberal abortion laws (among the least protective in the world) even worse. I can hardly think of any proposed legislation that is more evil. I believe that is the reason some members were trying [...]

By Nicole Collins On the national front, healthcare reform is saturating the headlines. President Obama and the Congressional Democrats are fine-tuning their rallying cries to try to make us believe that the passing of this bill will be akin to landing on the moon. Whether it will be or won’t be, requiring abortion coverage in [...]

25 house Democrats have said that they will not support a bill that includes abortion funding. Congressman Tim Ryan is trying to reach a “Third way” or common ground approach with some success. He is raising concerns by some because his approach would by off family planning organizations with more money in exchange for no [...]

The Democrat regime may end up either sinking health care reform or sinking the concept of a pluralistic society which they once championed. This will be a test of which objective is most important, radical social policy or expanding health insurance coverage to those who need it. It has been long recognized that forcing people [...]

While we were looking at the budget, our friends at the Delaware Family Policy Council also paid attention to the senate. We all know that illegal activity at abortion mills is forbidden under FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances). Last night, the radicals decided to go after legal education and free speech. This bill [...]

Gallup found Pro-life support an absolute majority of their sample. I am not surprised to see more pro-life Americans than pro-choice Americans. That is consistent with other polls and election returns. Why else would Rahm Emanuel and company have worked overtime to find pro-life Democrats to run in so many districts? The spread of this [...]

America is the greatest nation in two thousand years. No one nation has advanced the cause of human dignity more in that time. It is the place where human rights such as life, liberty, and universal right to own property emerged as central governing principles. It has served as a beacon to the world. Unfortunately, [...]
