The LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, powerful, and awe-inspiring God. He never plays favorites and never takes a bribe. He makes sure orphans and widows receive justice.

On January 23 CNN’s Piers Morgan interrogated pro-life Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on his position that there be no abortion exceptions for rape and incest, using an emotional appeal that in my opinion was way out of bounds:
You know, if you have a daughter that came to you who had been raped…. and was pregnant and was begging you to let her have an abortion, would you really be able to look her in the eye and say, no, as her father?
As an aside, Santorum handled the question well, one of the reasons I support him for president.
But journalists never delve into the issue with pro-abortion candidates. Never. If only.

Yes, that’s an IUD cookie.

You know, I saw two bumper stickers on a car the other day, and it still frustrates me when I think of it: One side of the car had a “You Can’t Be Catholic and Pro-Choice” bumper sticker, and the other side had an “Obama 2012″ bumper sticker. Can you say disconnect?

This perfectly describes our government’s overspending and who will pay for it.

When last I wrote about ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy in September 2011, abortion proponents were “thrilled” that Christina had aborted husband Owen’s baby.
A recap: Christina (played by Sandra Oh) is a career-oriented resident surgeon who doesn’t want kids. Owen (played by Kevin McKidd), also a surgeon, does. The couple’s clashing belief systems create turmoil when Christina accidentally gets pregnant. But she ultimately gets an abortion with glum but supportive Owen by her side.
Pro-aborts were happy Christina killed her baby. The ACLU thanked Grey’s Anatomy for “provid[ing] an opening” to “change the culture.” NARAL gave show writers “kudos.” RH Reality Check thought the episode was “a reflection of current attitudes” and that ABC execs must have “realize[d] that a majority of their viewers think abortion should be safe, legal, and available.”
Not so fast.
The advancing storyline: Owen and Christina don’t talk about the abortion afterward and try to awkwardly move on.
But in the January 19 episode Owen snaps. You can skip to :41 in this well-acted, heart-wrenching scene:
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
