IL’s Manzullo takes on IL’s Blagojevich et al

Wendy Wright, Senior Policy Director for Concerned Women for America, Washington, DC, just forwarded the following press release, adding that Manzullo “did a great job today chairing a hearing on the forcing of pharmacies to provide morning-after-pill”: Manzullo: Pharmacists Shouldn’t Be Forced to Choose Between Their Business, Beliefs Monday, July 25, 2005 (WASHINGTON) House Small [...]

Glamour Magazine laments “The mysterious disappearance of young pro-choice women”

Leon at RedState.org has handsomely critiqued the biased article in this month’s Glamour Magazine entitled, “The mysterious disappearance of young pro-choice women.” As Leon says, the piece provides pro-lifers with encouragement in an unintended way. Here’s an example, a graph from the article:

“When even Borking might not work”

About the Democrats’ quandary regarding Roberts, Pruden wrote this in his July 22 column: The shrewder Democratic pols and their brighter liege men in the media understand what has happened to them. First they lost their domination of the media; the New York Times, The Washington Post and the television networks no longer dictate what [...]

Republicans do the Pro-Life Dance

I’m tired of Republicans dancing around the Roe v. Wade issue, these days as it relates to John Roberts and the Supreme Court. What are they afraid of? Can we get a pro-lifer to the Supreme Court only by being stealth about it? I don’t like it. There’s nothing to be ashamed of or secretive [...]

Woo woo

“Dems urged to reach out to pro-life voters” is the title of an Associated Press piece today reporting on former Planned Parenthood board member and current Democrat chairman Howard Dean’s latest attempt to woo pro-lifers. His solution? “I think we need to talk about this issue differently,” he said. Dr. Dean et al have come [...]

Federal embryonic stem cell bill has surprisingly stalled

Although MSM has reported for months that passage of a federally-funded embryonic stem cell bill by the US Senate is a done deal, Reuters is now reporting otherwise. Specifically note the last paragraph, which gives a helpful hint in stopping this sort of legislation in the states: Despite a veto threat by President Bush, the [...]

Lindsey Graham: “[John Roberts] is pro-life”

This just in from Hannity and Colmes. Being interviewed was Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, who in reference to Supreme Court nominee John Roberts said, “I can tell you his position, he’s a pro-life person…. He’s pro-life.”

What’s wrong with Beaubien’s logic?

Jeff Berkowitz, host of Public Affairs tv show and blog host, conducted a refreshing interview with IL Republican state Rep. Mark Beaubien (pictured, right), a potential candidate for Congress. I call it refreshing because Berkowitz didn’t allow Beaubien to get away with typical pro-abortion soundbites. For example: Berkowitz: Does that mean you’d be opposed to [...]

Abortion diaries

Here’s a sadly fascinating, open diary sort of read on some truths about abortion, written by now-dueling pro-abortion women. On July 17, journalist Helaine Olen wrote a story in the New York Times about the impact her nanny’s blog had on their working relationship. (Eventually the nanny’s blog got her fired.) Olen wrote: The blog [...]

Roberts wife: Executive of Feminists for Life

Several sources broke the news that Supreme Court nominee John Roberts’ wife Jane Sullivan Roberts is a former executive board member of Feminists for Life. Today’s LifeNews.com posts a story on her history with FFL, as does the Chicago Tribune, which dwells on the topic. (See page 2 for that.) The online encyclopedia Wikipedia lists [...]

tasmania

I think that people will look at that and think that’s a step too far…. I find it really abhorrent to see the sort of campaign that’s been raised now on a really sensitive issue.

I’m concerned to see young kids involved in a debate like this.

There was a good point made in some of the commentary that I saw, that these young people are at an age that they haven’t actually lived long in the life to experience the competing issues that adults have to confront in their lifetime.

~ Australian Premier Lara Giddings (pictured above right; click to enlarge), commenting on silent protests at the Tasmanian Parliament involving “more than 200 people… [including] young children – some in school uniform… rall[ying] against proposed changes to the state’s laws to allow abortions up to 24 weeks into a pregnancy,” as quoted by ABC News, April 10
