by Kelli Renee Ellmers, Chris Christie and their ilk are fools if they think we will go back and quietly graze like meek little sheeple. … I would rather be defeated by Hillary than represented by Ellmers… Or Christie, if he is truly so foolish as to say that pro-lifers do not care about children […]

I have a soft spot for pro-life converts, which Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is. I think pro-lifers could do a much better job of supporting them. I think it is time for that to happen for some of us who have been reluctant about Romney. The fact that he used to be pro-abortion is the major hang-up.
I’ve told the story before of meeting then-gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie at the New Jersey’s Rally for Life in 2009, where he was being maligned by his primary opponent as a fake, a political opportunist. There were even a few boos when he was introduced. Feeling sorry for Christie, who looked a little out of place, I approached his table during dinner, introduced myself, and sat down to offer encouragement for his conversion. He lightened up and talked a mile a minute, describing how he had changed his view on the life issue when becoming a father in the 1990s.
To start out pro-abortion and end up pro-life cannot be an easy process, particularly when one is in the public eye.
The far left organization Netroots Nation held its annual conference last week in Minnesota, and one of the breakout panels was “Protecting reproductive rights in your state.” The entire 1+ hour discussion is interesting, linked above. It’s always helpful to see what the other side is thinking. For this post I want to focus on […]
Politics Daily tells of Donald Trump’s announcement at CPAC yesterday that he has converted to being pro-life. The article quoted pro-lifers thinking this was “good news, I suppose,” “cautious,” and “intrigued.” I tweeted, “I would love to believe Donald Trump has converted,” getting back one response, “eye roll.” Welcoming converts is one area where I […]
The Gosnell live-birth abortion mass murders, in conjunction with the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, provided an opening for several political cartoons on our topic this week. Even liberals like Signe Wilkinson at GoComics.com were incensed… by Glenn McCoy at Townhall.com…
by JivinJ, host of the blog, JivinJehoshaphat At the Philly Post, Morgan Zalot (who describes herself as being “100% pro-choice”) examines Kermit Gosnell’s abortion business and asks “What About the Mothers?”: Infant Safe Haven laws, or “Baby Moses laws,” date back to 1999, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for […]
