New Stanek poll: How many states are down to one abortion clinic?

I have a new poll question up that will test your pro-life knowledge: How many states do you think are down to one abortion clinic? Vote on the lower right side of the home page. The majority of you were probably wrong on the previous poll, although to be fair I asked the question before [...]

Stanek weekend question II: Would you entrust the care of your baby to an abortion advocate?

Reader Marie posed this interesting question in an email to me this week. I’ve written before of wondering whether I could have shook the hand of late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart had he extended it when we were standing in line next to one another waiting to give a statement to the press after the Supreme [...]

Stanek weekend question I: Is Barack Obama evil?

My friend Judie Brown at American Life League wrote the following this week: No one else will say it, so I will. The President is evil. He continually lies directly to the faces of people of faith, to our Catholic Bishops, to everyone. Yet they give him a pass. They think he is someone he [...]

“You need to be out here”

I met Andrew Smith 12 years ago when he worked at Priests for Life in New York. It wasn’t long before he became one of my bffs. The pro-life world is a small place. Andrew ended up in Dallas, Texas, where his wife Jacquelyn (who he met at a pro-life conference – she was working [...]

Abortion proponents equate vaginal ultrasound – not abortion – with rape?

Abortion proponents are going berserk over a bill in the Virginia General Assembly that would require abortionists to determine the gestational age of babies about to be aborted by ultrasound.

Lunch Break: Adora Svitak – what adults can learn from kids

by LauraLoo Writeup provided along with the video post… Child prodigy Adora Svitak says the world needs “childish” thinking: bold ideas, wild creativity and especially optimism.

Supermodel Cindy Crawford’s daughter would rather be “baby nurse” than model

  I might model first because you don’t have to know how to do anything, but then I want to be a baby nurse. ~ Ten-year old Kaia Gerber , daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, commenting on her mother’s decision to remove Kaia from the modeling business, as quoted by Shine, February 16 [HT:Anne Marie]

Abortion vs immigration: can catholics disagree?

It’s a very interesting conundrum for the hierarchy in America: Catholic candidates unabashedly saying the bishops are flat out wrong on policy statements, those same candidates getting endorsed by catholic organizations that use the name ‘catholic’, and catholic voters lining up behind those candidates and those organizations with their money and their votes. ~ Michael [...]

What the Media says »

The modus operandi of these thought police… is to brand as racists and anti-Semites any writer who dares to venture outside the narrow corral in which they seek to confine debate. All the while prattling about their love of dissent and devotion to the First Amendment, they seek systematically to silence and censor dissent.

Without a hearing, they smear and stigmatize as racist, homophobic, or anti-Semitic any who contradict what George Orwell once called their “smelly little orthodoxies.” They then demand that the heretic recant, grovel, apologize, and pledge to go forth and sin no more.

Defy them, and they will go after the network where you work, the newspapers that carry your column, the conventions that invite you to speak. If all else fails, they go after the advertisers.

~ Conservative Pat Buchanan, describing why MSNBC fired him in his February 16 column, “Blacklisted but not beaten.”  Buchanan could easily have been describing how Planned Parenthood and the media attempted to blacklist Susan G. Komen for the Cure for dissenting. On a larger scale Buchanan could have been describing how liberals and the media attempt to silence pro-lifers. They are all members of the same ideological cartel.
