- Down on the Pharm reminds us that the old “hCG in the tetanus vaccine” scandal happening in Kenya right now is nothing new:
Pro-abortion authors Robin Marty and Jessica Mason Pieklo have co-authored a fascinating new book, Crow After Roe.
Marty is senior political reporter for RH Reality Check, and Pieklo is a senior legal analyst there. Over the past year or so I’ve developed a collegial relationship with Robin. Even as we both stand our ground, it’s refreshing to discuss and debate sans animus.
Robin was kind enough to give me a copy of her book, which I have been reading with interest. Even though Robin writes from a biased perspective, which she freely acknowledges, she writes intelligently, another refreshing difference from the typical pro-abortion fare I usually read.
The media and feminists like to accuse Mitt Romney of being a flip-flopper on abortion, simply because he converted from supporting abortion to opposing it.
They also like to point out Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, don’t even see eye to eye on the issue, since the former has a rape and incest exception and the latter doesn’t.
And then we move to the Barack Obama/Joe Biden ticket, which, on the issue of abortion, is actually all of the above on steroids. Yet we hear nary a peep from the press questioning the vast inconsistencies.
I gleaned all the following points from National Right to Life’s excellent piece, “Biden-Ryan Versus Obama on Abortion Policy.”
While Biden has never called himself pro-life, he was at one point considered so weak on the issue a Planned Parenthood official stated in 1986, “Joe Biden moans a lot and then usually votes against us.”
Click all graphics to enlarge… The pendulum has swung back. For the last 2 years Gallup’s annual poll asking the question, “With respect to the abortion issue, would you consider yourself to be pro-choice or pro-life?” swayed our way. This year it didn’t. What does it mean?
AZStarnet.com reports on a microcosm of a nationwide phenomenon: As the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade approaches, Tucson is seeing a increase in anti-abortion activism…. The election of President Obama, the push for health-care overhaul and Obama’s push for the Freedom of Choice Act – which would eliminate all state restrictions on abortion access […]
Pro-lifers tend to see the glass as half empty, understandably. Wherever we are not succeeding, innocent humans are dying. So I’m always interested to read how the other side views its glass. The pro-abort call right now is to overturn the Hyde Amendment, which bans public funding of almost all Medicaid abortions. Pro-aborts have never […]
by Feministing, a blogger named Rose shares bits of a conversation she had with Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards regarding health care and abortion and the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). Stephen Drake of Friends of Scott Roeder (the alleged killer of George Tiller) are planning to auction off random militant anti-abortion items on eBay […]
A bill has been presented in Congress, purportedly to reduce abortion. But the Prevention First Act contains many of the elements in the polarizing and subsequently back-burnered Freedom of Choice Act. Introduced by Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) and Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), the Pregnancy First Act would increase funding for Title X (Planned Parenthood’s main […]
