Even if one could magically rid all misogyny from the world, there would still be a basis for an anti-choice movement: the belief or the conclusion that nascent human life deserves legal protection.  This proposition needs no misogyny to originate or gain widespread assent.  And assent it has. 

Anything less and you’re at best overgeneralizing and almost surely wrong.

One of my favorite tweeters for the other side is RabblePro-Choice. She’s like a wild-eyed pro-abort terrier.

Last week Rabble went after pro-lifer marylikesbagles, who had posted the following video with the invitation, “Everyone who believes in abortion should watch this video. It’s only 30 seconds anyways.”

Apparently Rabble thought all the hyperbolic use of pro-“choice” euphemisms in the video is really the way the world should be.  I’m not sure Rabble even understood the point of the video, which is that if an offspring of the species homosapien is wanted she’s called a “baby” and if  unwanted she’s called any number of nonhuman terms.  Actually, I’m not sure I understand what all Rabble was mad about. Maybe you do?…

• Want to know why the NY Times editorials are consistently horribly reasoned and argued? Here’s Andrew Rosenthal, the Times’ editorial page editor, attempting to argue that abortions are rare in the United States. Seriously, abortions are rare because they are less common than blood transfusions and because there are more cancer-related surgeries? He also delusionally thinks that if abortion was banned, the abortion rate would remain the same.You gotta love this line though:

  So was I right to call abortion “rare”? It’s relative, but the numbers don’t really matter.

Politico’s Keach Hagey has predicted Planned Parenthood’s successful ambush of Susan G. Komen for the Cure last week will “likely to go down as a textbook case of the political power of social media.”

She’s right, and pro-lifers need to learn from it.

This post does not discuss reasons why Planned Parenthood felt it had to bring Komen down. In this post I’ll only be discussing what PP did in three short days to totally annihilate Komen.

Komen’s first mistake was underestimating the enemy. Worse than that, Komen didn’t even realize Planned Parenthood was the enemy.

Komen started by handing Planned Parenthood its talking points (Did leadership really think marking a memo “FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY” would stop that from happening?), followed by handing PP control of the narrative by maintaining silence. From the Huffington Post, today:

Which raises a serious question: What if you end up pregnant because of the packaging mix-up?

Or to pay for other health-related costs, like the cost of buying another form of birth control?

After all the hype the last few weeks about the Super Bowl halftime show being her most nerve-wracking performance ever, did Madonna deliver or didn’t she?

Many reactions have been voiced or posted.  I personally loved Vogue the best.

The American public was made aware of two previously hidden facts during the liberal assault last week against Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure for attempting to sever financial ties with Planned Parenthood:

1) that the two were even connected to begin with

2) that Planned Parenthood does not perform mammograms

There have undoubtedly been some Planned Parenthood employees who were shocked as heck to learn their own clinics do not perform mammograms.

Such as the chipper but ignorant staffer in the following video, just up on YouTube but taken on Planned Parenthood Lobby Day in Sacramento on May 3, 2011.
Note her t-shirt, more about…

CANCER
SCREENINGS

…than anything else. Yet she was never trained about what that included. I almost feel sorry for her. Fortunately, a grizzled Planned Parenthood exec stepped in to save the day…

Ads showing the graphic reality of abortion have begun airing during Super Bowl pre-game shows in various parts of the country.

Three pro-life activists registered as federal candidates have placed ads in 11 metropolitan areas throughout the U.S. to air during the Super Bowl and/or during pre- and post-game shows as well as during NBC news broadcasts tonight and tomorrow morning.

As previously reported, federal law stipulates television stations must air ads submitted by federal candidates uncensored.

Due to attempted interference by the Obama machine, Democrat presidential candidate Randall Terry, Democrat congressional candidate Angela Michael, and Republican congressional candidate David Lewis will not publicize where the ads ran until tomorrow.

But comments – pro and con – are coming in to their sites…
