- Politico notes that John Boehner seems to be putting a large emphasis on defunding Planned Parenthood:
But all signs are that Speaker John Boehner is making the PP funding cutoff a higher priority in the negotiations than the 9 House-passed riders that defund all or part of the health care law. It’s not that he has given up on the defunding riders – it’s just that PP seems to be higher on his list.
- Jake Tapper also notes Planned Parenthood funding seems to be the major sticking point in budget negotiations:
Democratic sources tell ABC News that things “feel better now” in terms of a deal being cut, but the major sticking point remains the GOP rider prohibiting any federal funding to Planned Parenthood or any of its affiliates.
- A federal lawsuit has been filed against Angel Dillard for allegedly sending a threatening letter to abortionist Mila Means, who is attempting to open an abortion business in Wichita. Here’s a PDF of the letter. Here’s a portion of the documentary, “What’s the Matter with Kansas” featuring Dillard:

After reading only a few sentences into Ms. Dillard’s letter – I am ashamed for her – and here is another example of a (non-)pro-lifer doing the opposite of what is called for. We are to LOVE – and love big.
with standards, of course – but WITHOUT VIOLENCE. We are not to take matters into our own hands. We are not to commit violence or slander. We are to LOVE and LOVE BIG. Correct, yes; offer solutions, yes, do the golden rule, absolutely – but no conduct unlawful, hateful, hurtful or destructive.
Mt 10:16 Be as wise as serpents, as gentle as doves. spoken by Jesus himself.
And again – we will be painted with a broad brushand pay the price – but do not be disheartened. The good will outweigh the bad, and all of those behaving rightly must continue to do so. Love and Love BIG.
Dillard’s letter is scary. We’re called to speak the truth in love, and she did anything but.
