… [F]or those of us with anti-choice family members, how do you handle family gatherings?

However, I can’t do that with every confrontation. I’d love to find a few strategies for dealing with anti-choice family confrontations.

Planned Parenthood of Northern New England is running a “cheeky and irreverent” new ad campaign online, on buses, and in local newspapers…

• The Center for Reproductive Rights has asked for a rehearing of Texas’ ultrasound law in front of the entire 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.
• Abortions will resume at a Planned Parenthood in Columbia, Missouri now that the clinic has found a new abortionist.
• An Australian abortion clinic will stop performing abortions past 24 weeks. The clinic previously performed post 24-week abortions on women with “psychosocial reasons” including women who were “suffering mental health problems, have had a catastrophic change in their circumstances or have experienced difficulty accessing abortion services earlier.”

It’s Maddie v. Daddy as Daddy interrogates his baby daughter to reveal her favorite parent.  What takes place is a ruthless contest of cunning and skill… with one of them clearly out of their league.

It’s always interesting to hear how the other side views its political proponents.

But not lately.

I wrestle with gender-based abortion more than any other reason [a person might give for choosing to abort]… Gender? Geez….

But if you look at it at the individual level, which is what we do, I don’t have any right to say that one person’s reason is better or worse than another’s.

Yesterday, as the March for Life was taking place, pro-life Arizona Congressman Trent Franks (pictured right) introduced the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.

The backdrop, according to the National Right to Life Committee:

Article I of the U.S. Constitution established that the national seat of government would be placed forever not within any state, but in a special Federal District – and that the Congress would “exercise exclusive legislation in all cases whatsoever, over such District.”

But what would the Framers of our Constitution say if they returned today – and learned, to their horror, that well-developed unborn babies are legally being put to death, in terrible pain, virtually within the shadow of the U.S. Capitol?

And they are.

Washington Surgi-Clinic, located just eight blocks from the White House, advertises it will abort babies up to 26 weeks old (6-1/2 months)  “us[ing] a method called dilatation and evacuation (D&E).” Here’s a medical illustration of a D&E via National Right to Life. Click to enlarge….

A CBS slide show entitled, “Activists Hold Annual March For Life On Roe v. Wade Anniversary,” is inexplicably featuring seven photos of the exact opposite: a microscopic band of abortion proponents who protested the March.

There are no photos of pro-lifers!

Someone at CBS has a wicked (pardon the pun) sense of humor.

Meanwhile Matt at the St. Blogostine blog posted photos depicting the reality of the day, which must have been too big for CBS to see. Cold and rainy as it was, pro-lifers – mostly young people – came out by the hundreds of thousands…
