Yesterday John McCain took Q&A at Villanova University, during a Hardball with Chris Matthews taping. VU is PA's oldest and largest Catholic university, so it's probably no great news that students applauded when McCain said, "respect and cherishing of the right of the unborn is one of the fundamental principles of my party," although it sure was nice.

Interesting was the exchange between MSNBC's Dan Abrams and Matthews afterward. They drew from this - and considered it big news, almost astounding - that McCain unequivocably will not choose a pro-abort running mate...

Here's another mental health break post.

This one is all over the news today. Actress and playwright Tricia Walsh-Smith has posted a sad, funny, slightly shocking video on YouTube outting the guy divorcing her, Philip Smith, president of the Shubert Organization, "the largest theater owner on Broadway," according to AOL News, adding:

She goes through their wedding album on camera, describing family members as "bad" or "evil" or "nasty," and talks about how her husband is allegedly trying to evict her from their luxury apartment. She also makes embarrassing claims regarding their intimate life, and then calls his office on camera to repeat those claims to a stunned assistant.

So here we see the "All's fair" and "A woman scorned" lines taken to the YouTube generation. She may be a woman, but she has cojones.

I've been tracking the Senate Democrat obstruction of President Bush's judicial nominees, including the Republicans' recent threat to shut the Senate down if Dems continue to block confirmations.

The clock is ticking. When whoever the new president is assumes duties, all of President Bush's good nominees will be erased from the docket. The Dems are stalling for that day.

Well, the Committee for Justice blog is today reporting big news:

Tuesday was a big news day for the judges issue - perhaps the biggest since the confirmation of Justice Alito. Senate Leaders Reid and McConnell [pictured right together] made a deal to confirm three appeals court nominees by Memorial Day; Sen. Levin and the White House reached an agreement to fill two long-standing vacancies on the 6th Circuit; and Sen. Specter asked Sens. Obama, Clinton, and McCain to declare their position on a possible motion to discharge three circuit nominees - Peter Keisler (DC Cir.), Bob Conrad (4th Cir.), and Steve Matthews (4th Cir.) - bottled up in the Judiciary Committee by Sen. Leahy.

Here's our take on the day's news, followed by excerpts from news reports....

Yesterday, the American Life League ran the above full-page ad in the Washington Times. View the large pdf version here.

I was glad to see ALL added Sen. Robert Casey to its list of "Pro-abortion 'Catholics'," because he is. Despite claiming to the contrary, Casey voted last year to overturn the Mexico City Policy, which stops US tax funds from going to international abortion groups.

But Bob Casey's most flagrant affront to the sanctity of life was recently endorsing Barack Obama for president. CNS News covered that very topic today...

It's an exciting, beautiful morning in DC. In about an hour the President and a "mass" (pardon the pun... :) of 12,000 will greet the Pope on the South Lawn of the White House, the largest throng ever to gather there. What a memorable "Happy Birthday" they should sing to him, as today he turns 81.

My daughter is in the crowd, as is Dawn Eden of The Dawn Patrol, and Scott Johnston, friend to commenter Andrew and me, who used to work for Priests for Life. Just spoke with them, and they all made it through security and are now standing by the fountain.

The Pope is expected to address the Life issue while here, certainly when he speaks before the United Nations Friday on the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and hopefully more often than that.

The Passionate Pro-Lifer did note in an "Irony Alert" yesterday that one of the Pontiff's greeters as he arrived at Andrews Air Force Base yesterday was Nancy Brinker, US Chief of Protocol and friend of Laura Bush, who also who just happens to have founded the Susan G Komen Foundation.

As PPL reported, "Just this past week, it was revealed that Komen gave $700K to Planned Parenthood."

Life can't be perfect, but it is still a beautiful day, even here in Chicago!

Sunday night Hannity's America ran another exposé on Planned Parenthood.

The segment began by playing the 2nd of Lila Rose's audiotapes showing PP would accept money to abort black babies.

But the bulk of the story was about an Ohio PP that aborted a 14-year-old girl who had been impregnated by her 21-year-old soccer coach.

OH has a parental consent law, but PP never contacted this girl's parents, who were interviewed for the story. The girl, who said her rapist coerced her to abort, gave PP the man's phone number for consent.

The family now has hired a high-powered attorney and are suing the PP in a case to be heard by the OH Supreme Court. PP is also being charged with failing to report suspected child abuse. PP is fighting release of the girl's medical records, of course.

I'm not naïve. I know there are 12-year-olds in the world having sex. But it's not normal behavior. A 6th-grader seeking sex lives in a dysfunctional home. More likely she is being raped by an adult perpetrator. That's not what I say. That's what Planned Parenthood and Guttmacher Institute say:

The younger the mother, the greater the partner age gap.... Fathers are on average 9.8 years older than mothers 11 to 12 years of age.

I have never known or heard of a father, diligent or absentee, liberal or conservative, who pondered aloud that his 9-year-old daughter in three short years might have unprotected consensual sex, so we must make contraceptives and abortion available to her.

Such a father would be creepy, close to a pedophilia promoter.

Such a father would be Barack Obama, who indicated such at Sunday's Compassion Forum....

On April 5 the National Right to Life Committee's board of directors passed this resolution in response to GA Right to Life's endorsement of Mike Huckabee for president rather than NRLC's choice, Fred Thompson, and Iowa RTL's decision to go neutral:

BE IT RESOLVED that it is the policy and a goal and purpose of National Right to Life that no state affiliate, member or alternate of the National Right to Life Board of Directors endorse or support any candidate for President of the United States other than a candidate endorsed or supported by National Right to Life.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that if National Right to Life supports or endorses a candidate for President of the United States, then it is the policy and a goal and purpose of National Right to Life that no state affiliate, member or alternate of the National Right to Life Board of Directors publicly oppose or voice neutrality or non-support for that candidate.

NRLC does good work, to be sure. But I've noted before the same leaders have been in position far too long - decades - which IMO has led to a Beltway rather than grassroots mentality and a DC power rush that leads them to make some decisions not for the good of the organization or the pro-life movement but for the good of the ones in control.

This was one of those decisions....

Every now and then there is clarity on the Left.

Feminists hyperprotect contraceptives from adverse publicity, since they supposedly equalize the sex-playing field. They're also a huge money maker.

We on the Right are called Neanderthals for pointing out hormonal contraceptives in particular are dangerous to women, infusing small or large amounts of artificial female steroids into a woman's body on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and decades-long basis. With no more information than that, red flags should be raised. But feminists bat them down.

Now comes an April 14 New York Times editorial calling for harmed women to have the freedom to sue the manufacturer of the dangerous Ortho Evra bc patch...

I met moderator Bethany a little over 1 year ago via email when she sent me photos of her recently miscarried 6-week-old baby, who Bethany named Blessing.

I posted Blessing's photos, and to this day Bethany receives emails and comments from mothers wanting to share with Bethany the pain of the loss of their baby.

But the dark side of the world is inhabited by twisted, hurtful people. Over the weekend, Bethany received 2 emails from "Barbra Walters" with photoshopped pictures of Blessing. Bethany gave me permission to post.

See more photos on page 2. Can't fathom evil people who would do this. Sorry, Bethany... :(

I posted photos April 4 of hanging rubber chickens and such at the very creepy Northern Illinois Women's Center abortion mill in Rockford, IL.

I said I would blog on a lawsuit pro-lifers have filed when they were able to post a video substantiating their case. That day has come.

Pro-lifers are suing the City of Rockford for removing their pro-life message from a bus bench and also for failing to protect them as they protested at NIWC. Also included in the suit are Wayne Webster, the building's owner, and a neighbor, Keith Sterkeson.

Here is video of Sterkeson repeatedly calling a pro-lifer the n-word, throwing in the f-bomb for good measure. He also bizarrely yells kudos to an admitted "mom" for aborting, adding, "You're doing the right thing, and God will honor you!" as if that comment would bring her comfort?

Here's a photo Sterkeson pretending to take aim at pro-lifers during the same incident...

Don't know the outcome of this incident, whether the girl aborted. Pray not.

But politically-correct language checkers at these 2 papers slipped. The Centredaily.com story appeared April 13, and the Tribune-Democrat story was posted April 12. Click to enlarge:

[HT: son Tim, reader Ryan J.]

Obama is talking freakier and freakier about the projected sex lives of his young daughters.

Everyone is familiar by now with Obama's infamous March 29 statement:

Look, I got two daughters - 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn't make sense to not give them information.

At the time I wanted to puke at Obama's suggestion he would not just condone but push to abort his own grandchildren since he considered teen pregnancies punishment.

But at last night's Compassion Forum in PA Obama lowered the threshhold his daughters might "make a mistake" and have sex from age 16 to "12 or 13." What kind of sicko is this guy? First came the question from Newsweek's Jon Meacham...

In my previous post I discussed Hillary Clinton's contradictory statements on the life issue at last night's Compassion Forum at Messiah College in PA, emceed by CNN's Campbell Brown Newsweek's religious writer, Jon Meacham.

Yet Obama managed to surpass Clinton. There was this...

Last night Messiah College in PA hosted the Compassion Forum, for "Democratic presidential candidates to focus on the issues of faith and compassion," according to CNN's Campbell Brown, who emceed along with Jon Meacham, Newsweek's religious writer.

Conversation touched on aspects of our issue. It was frustrating that neither Brown nor Meacham had the knowledge, inclination, or wit to delve beyond easy answers. There was this...

About a nationwide poll it conducted April 7-9, the Associated Press reported:

Against McCain, Obama lost ground among women - from 57% in February to 47% in April. Obama dropped 12 points among women under 45, 14 points among suburban women and 15 points among married women.

Polls will come and go, but looking back over the past several weeks, why do you think Obama's support among women dropped so drastically?

An interesting aside: As bad as the poll was for Obama, it was still skewed in his favor: The AP interviewed 489 Democrat voters and only 369 Republicans.

The new poll question reflects the hot topic of blog discussion this week, thanks to the pending release of the movie, Expelled:

What is your view of the origin and development of human life on earth?

Re: last week's poll, most people thought Obama's brand suffered the most damage of recent Democrat presidential candidate gaffes...

by Steven Ertelt

Planned Parenthood continues to do everything possible to protect its abortion income -- including claiming a pro-life view is a turnoff for women voters.

Yet polling data shows 64 percent of women voters don't want a candidate who voted against the partial-birth abortion ban; 68 percent don't want a candidate who supports taxpayer-funded abortion; and 73 percent don't want a candidate who opposes parental involvement.

Who holds those kinds of radical pro-abortion positions? Oh yeah -- Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

With data like that, it's no wonder Bush had a 9 percent advantage over Kerry among voters who said abortion was important and won single issue abortion voters 3-1.

Obama and Clinton have a long way to go to prove to voters they're not the radicals they really are -- and with Obama's repeated attempts to block the "live birth abortion" bill in Illinois, he can't been seen as anything but an extremist.

Yet another confirmation that abortion didn't result in a reduction in crime. In fact, the trio of economists who analyzed the repeatedly-disproven Freakanomics theory found that violent crimes in the UK shot up tremendously following abortion legalization.

A lack of respect for lie fosters a lack of respect for life.

From the story

"Violent crime does not decrease at all over the period. The trends are not supportive of a link between abortion and crime," the economists write.

"Given all this, it seems highly unlikely that the legalization of abortion can, as Donohue and Levitt hypothesized, explain the dramatic drop in crime observed in the US in the 1990s."

Two other "disproofs" are mentioned in the article.

This week I interviewed Expelled producer Mark Mathis for my WorldNetDaily column.

The interview lasted an hour, and reading comments to my column from Darwinian apologists, I see Mathis covered many questions and misinformation: What exactly is Expelled about? Were Darwinian academics/scientists hoodwinked into being interviewed for the film? Did the film purposefully misinterpret their thoughts? What about that Scientific American review? Does teaching Intelligent Design violate the separation of Church and State? Is teaching ID just a backdoor attempt to teach religion in the schools?

Mathis has been conducting Q&A after Expelled screenings across the country and said the experience has been eye-opening. What was the biggest surprise, I asked?

Read his answer to that and all other questions on page 2.

Wichita late-term abortionist George Tiller is in the news again.

Highlights from an article from the Kansas City Star:

But according to attorneys representing the grand jury and the judges overseeing it, state law gives grand juries broad powers to seek whatever information they deem relevant. They said that Tiller can challenge any evidence if he faces a prosecution....

I received an email today informing me of these two videos, explaining the processes of dismemberment abortion and suction abortion.

Frank Pavone does a terrific job explaining the processes involved in these abortion processes, in a clear and straightforward manner I think everyone can understand.

I hope that these videos will be beneficial to viewers. If you find them helpful, please forward them to your friends, and family.

Paul Kengor on Bob Casey, Jr., Barack Obama, and abortion:

Sen. Barack Obama is so extreme on abortion that he has managed to achieve what I once thought impossible: He is to the left of Hillary Clinton on abortion. I say that as someone who has written a book on Hillary Clinton, with a special focus on her abortion fanaticism.....

Does Casey not understand the threshold upon which he and his nation now stand? Roe v. Wade is at last in peril, but if he achieves his dream of an Obama presidency, Obama can tip the Supreme Court's balance in a pro-Roe direction for decades to come. There have been 40 million abortions since 1973.

Consequently, Senator Casey's endorsement of Obama is an undeniable betrayal of his, his father's, and his church's pro-life work and commitment.

On April 18, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, will boast the largest U.S. opening of any documentary film ever.

Scheduled for release in 1,000 theatres, Expelled will be hotter than Farenheit 9/11, which debuted on 868 screens, and much more convenient to see than An Inconvenient Truth, which I was surprised to find opened on only four screens nationwide despite all the hype, peaking at 587 before
its appeal melted....

Liberals have been going ape about Expelled for months as it has been
screened around the country....

"This is not a scientific battle; this is a worldview battle," Expelled producer Mark Mathis told me.

Mathis has encountered unbridled hostility from the scientific establishment, i.e., avowed Darwinists, at reviews.....

Expelled connects atheism and Darwinism with no missing link, one of the film's two major flashpoints....

"What's driving it is Darwinism is a foundational principle - scientific validation of secularism, atheism, liberalism - and that it strikes at the core of who they are," said Mathis....

Not only is Darwinism foundational to atheism, it is foundational to eugenics, the other
reason for the left's apoplexy against Expelled, according to Mathis. They
cannot tolerate the connection Expelled draws between Darwinism and Adolf Hitler.

Or Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood.

"Planned Parenthood is a direct outgrowth of Darwinism," said Mathis....

I was just notified by email that the chain link fence around the area of the vacant lot owned by Safeway/Dominicks (across from Planned Parenthood Aurora), has been removed.

The fence went up in October, after PP launched a nationwide effort to harrass Dominicks with emails complaining about pro-life presence on their property.

It was supposed to be removed on December 10, 2007, however, it was not until yesterday.

We do not know whether they will be building a new permanent fence or whether they will leave the fence down... but what we do know is that the fence's presence did absolutely NOTHING to hinder pro-life efforts.

See a few of Jill's previous articles on the chain link fence below:

UPDATE 4/10: From a recent post on his blog, it appears the Newsweek reporter may taken liberties with Pastor Hamilton's position on abortion. It seems (from the blog post) that a more correct label for his position would be prolife-with-exceptions rather than pro-choice. I still haven't had time to listen to the audio of his sermon and I'm just starting to read the abortion chapter in his book which was recently made available online.

We've had many discussions on this blog about saline abortions. Abortion proponents claim saline abortions are not committed anymore, so our pictures of them are obsolete or faked.

But according to the CDC in 2004, there were 4,574 saline abortions for 43 out of 52 reporting area's. Saline abortions took place in approximately 1% of abortions since 1989; 2% of abortions from 1983 - 1988; and that it has been taking place under 3% of all abortions since 1981.

All of that sounds low, right?

Take a look at this:

1995 - 6,000 (approx) saline abortions
2000 - 3,400 (approx) saline abortions
2002 - 6,800 (approx) saline abortions
2003 - 7,600 (approx) saline abortions
2004 - 4,500 (approx) saline abortions

When it is put in numbers it makes a bit of difference, doesn't it? Now let's break it down further.

In 2004 there were:

375 saline abortions every month
87 saline abortions every week
12 saline abortions every day

That doesn't sound like something that is never done anymore does it?

****

Note: The medical term for this procedure is "Intrauterine Instillation abortion" The chemicals used can be consisting of either saline, urea or prostaglandin.

Yet another very real confirmation that pro-life advocates have been right all along on embryonic stem cell research. We don't have to sacrifice human life to improve it.

First, a report from England that its top stem cell scientist, Lord Patel of Dunkeld, is beginning to admit defeat:

"In terms of embryonic stem cell therapy, there is currently no such therapy that is available in a large number of patients. It may not deliver therapy for anything. We may find that stem therapy is quite a risky business."

Secondly, scientists in Boston used an ethical alternative, direct reprogramming, to alleviate Parkinson's in mice.

They are once again proving we don't need to destroy human embryos (read: tiny unborn children who are unique human beings) to advance science and help patients suffering from diseases. We need cures, not clones.

It's no surprise when the American media fails to cover the deaths of women from legal abortions. Now, it appears the same thing is happening in Mexico.

From the story:

Jorge Serrano Limón of the Mexican National Pro-Life (Provida) Committee says he has information showing several deaths: "We have the information, dates, and hospitals where they died" even though "the authorities will only recognize the underage girl who died in Balbuena Hospital."

Mexico City's leading newspaper already confirmed one death. How long will it take for them to report on the rest?

by Valerie Ryan

A Miami Heraldstory is about abortionists being legally required to show a women an ultrasound picture if she wants to see it. It is not required otherwise:

"Rep. Joyce Cusack, a Democrat... noted that not every abortion clinic has ultrasound equipment and those that do will have to charge patients more to offer the procedures.

Opponents of the measure said the procedure could cost a woman as much as $700, while supporters said the cost would likely be less than $100."

What I find interesting is that crisis pregnancy centers manage to do them for free.

Another thought, how do these people verify gestational age, without the ultrasound, to make sure the safest procedure is being performed?

Nice to get to break some big news for Jill today...

One of the leading pro-life groups has announced it is supporting John McCain for president. No surprise there. While National Right to Life and McCain disagree on embryonic stem cell research and campaign finance reform, it recognizes the very obvious and clear demarcation between McCain and Obama/Clinton on abortion.

McCain gives the pro-life movement a shot at overturning Roe and won't go back on the numerous pro-life gains we made during the Bush years. Obama and Clinton guarantee 35 more years of legalized abortion, paid for by our tax dollars, and with the assurance that it will also be funded and promoted overseas. A no-brainer between the two.

From the story:

"National Right to Life supports Senator John McCain for election as President of the United States and strongly opposes both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and urges all pro-life citizens to do likewise," the group told LifeNews.com on Monday.

"Senator John McCain, has consistently taken a strong pro-life position against abortion, has a strong pro-life voting record against abortion and opposes Roe v. Wade," NRLC said in its statement of support.

So the latest news out of France is that Chantal Sebire allowed herself to get in the condition she was in so she could press for assisted suicide.

Sebire, as Jill's readers will recall, is the woman with a terrible facial tumor who received international attention for her condition and French courts denying her request for a doctor to help her kill herself.

Well, now come to find out she a) refused medical treatment, b) refused offers of surgery to correct the problem and lead a normal life, and c) refused both drugs and palliative care to help her deal with the pain.

Sadly, this woman appeared to have a death wish and appeared more interested in promoting the pro-euthanasia political agenda than genuinely seeking legitimate medical care.

This reminds of the problems in Oregon - where the assisted suicide law is not operating as it should.

Sebire's situation was certainly heart-wrenching and she originally deserved all the support in the world, but these new revelations make it tough to consider her anything but a political opportunist. And it takes away from the real pain patients with no control over their situations deal with on a daily basis.

While I have fun in the FL sun this week with husband and family, including a 1-year-old grandson who thinks ocean waves knocking him over are the coolest thing ever, I am pleased to report 2 guest bloggers will be filling in for me.

This week Oprah and People magazine introduced the world to what most news organizations have mislabeled a pregnant "man."

In reality Thomas Beatie is a woman who had her breasts removed and injected herself with testosterone to take on male characteristics. She became pregnant by artificial insemination with the help of her female "wife."

On Friday, in a discussion of potential psychological ramifications for the baby, Good Morning America co-host Chris Cuomo said, "[B]iology aside, it is all about love of this child and as long as that's present, everything else is really going to be normal."

Do you agree that the traditional parental model - married man and woman - are inconsequential to a child's well-being as long as there is love?

I wrote earlier this week about the pro-life country song we need to help make a hit.

Butterfly, by the band Bluefield, has a beautiful message that has already saved at least 3 babies' lives.

Butterfly currently ranks in the 60s in the country music charts. It has met with some resistance by stations skittish about its message. I said it would help for you to call stations and request it.

I got this news from Bluefield this afternoon...

What week would be complete these days without news of the latest abortion mill freak show?

Today's featured mill is the Northern Illinois Women's Center, in Rockford.

I'll have more to say on this chop shop when our side works out the technical glitches with a video they're trying to upload in conjunction with the lawsuit they just filed against the City of Rockford for discrimination and against the mill owners for harrassment, which the video shows.

For now, enjoy these photos of the mill taken by pro-lifers.

Let me introduce the photos by explaining why some of the brick and windows are different. This is a 2-building complex, an old school. I've taken a Google photo to provide context, courtesy of Google maps:

And now, on with the slide show. Can you imagine any legitimate surgical center or doctor's office looking like this? See the rest on page 2. Click to enlarge...

I wrote a month ago that Senate Republicans, led by Arlen Specter, were threatening a work slowdown if Judiciary Committee chair Patrick Leahy didn't pick up the hearing pace of President Bush's judicial nominees.

According to the Committee for Justice blog, there was a "dramatic showdown" in yesterday's JC hearing:

This morning's dust-up over judges raged for more than 30 minutes and clearly got under Sen. Leahy's skin. The Chairman lurched from being defensive to trying to change the subject, but Specter, the ranking Republican, insisted that all 8 of the GOP senators present be allowed to address the obstruction of Bush's judicial nominees....

I have been encouraged to observe word spread on Obama's radical support of infanticide.

Time for a mental health break. Moderator MK just sent me this, a YouTube video of a young man with autism getting the giggles when singing the National Anthem during Disability Day at Fenway Park last summer. How uplifting when the crowd starts to help him out. We all have built within us a desire to help the underdog:

UPDATE, 4/4, 6:15a: As thought, O'Reilly bumped the Students for Life/Tiller video last night. Will let you know when it is next scheduled. Am told "soon."

O'Reilly's Talking Points Memo on Fr. Michael Pfleger and his segment on Pfleger follow. View the Fox producer's unedited interview with Pfleger here.

Gotta say Pfleger's friend, Louis Farrakhan, was actually preaching accurately in the clip O'Reilly ran. In it Farrakhan condemned "wicked Jews... false Jews" for spreading filth in America via their Hollywood influence.

We would call them liberal Jews, or perhaps Jews In Name Only. They do not practice the tenets of their faith but instead believe and promote the tenets of liberal ideology. Certainly O'Reilly could have found a clearer example of Farrakhan's anti-Semitism.

But I digress. I do appreciate O'Reilly taking on anti-American racist, and basically crazy hate speech from the pulpit.

Houston police are certainly being kept busy fielding calls to the scene of 14-year-olds delivering babies, one dead, one killed. From Click2Houston.com, this afternoon:

A 14-year-old gave birth to a baby in a junior high school bathroom and tried to flush the newborn down the toilet, killing the infant....

The baby was born alive, investigators said....

Well, this is rich.

The very day The Advocate releases its 2nd in a series of video exposés showing another pair of Planned Parenthoods willing to take bucks to abort blacks, one of the twisted twins spotlighted, Planned Parenthood of Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma, is hosting a funder tonight, "Cocktails for the Cause: Karaoke and Condoms," according to Tulsa World....

UPDATE, 4/2, 3:50p: I'm moving old updates to page 2. Read the story in chronological order from the airplane graphic, below. Here's the latest, from Click2Houston.com, today:

No charges will be filed in the case of a fetus found in a trash bin on an airplane....

Investigators said the 14-year-old mother was returning from New York with a chaperoned school group.

Police presented the case to the Harris County District Attorney's Office, which declined to charge the girl or the apparent 14-year-old expectant father.

I've blogged a couple times over the past 6 months (here and here) about the movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, to be released April 18. View the 7:30 "super trailer" if your interest is picqued by this shorter one:

The premise of Expelled? CNS News, today:

Expelled calls attention to the plight of highly credentialed scholars who have been forced out of prestigious academic positions because they proposed Intelligent Design as a possible alternative to Charles Darwin's 150-year-old theories about the origins of life .

Instead of entertaining a debate on the merits of competing theories, the scientific establishment has moved to suppress the ID movement in a "systematic and ruthless" way at odds with America's founding principles, the film asserts.

Liberals have been going ape about Expelled for months. On March 20, two Darwinian defenders, who were paid to be interviewed for the film but came out looking like buffoons, tried to bust into a private screening in MN....

5 weeks ago the UCLA student group The Advocate released a blockbuster video exposing Planned Parenthoods in various states accepting bucks specifically to abort black babies.

One of those PPs later issued a statement that acceptance of this $ was a 'serious mistake."

Well here are several more "serious mistakes." Today The Advocate released a 2nd video (in what it called "a series") exposing more PPs of the same Sangeresque genocidal money lust. These videos are so well done. Take a look:

Yesterday MSNBC interviewed the first "test tube" twins born in the US 25 years ago this month, Todd and Heather Tilton, and their mother, Nan:
