Stanek weekend question: Do Americans still value born life?

Our weekend question today comes from moderator Tyler, who writes:

I am astonished why so many people fail to appreciate that four Americans were killed in Libya. I believe this is a pro-life issue.  The respect for the lives of these Americans seems to be lost on the MSM, and even the general/world wide public.

The question is: Do Americans still value born life?

Check out this video of John McCain.  Why does he have answer such questions and emphasize the loss of life that has taken place in Benghazi?  Why doesn’t the MSM appreciate the seriousness of what happened?

Video intro, from YouTube: “After being asked whether the Petraeus scandal was a bigger national security threat than the Benghazi consulate attack, John McCain coldly tells a reporter, ‘That’s one of the dumbest questions I’ve ever heard.'”…

Pro-life news brief 6-21-12

by JivinJ, host of the blog, JivinJehoshaphat

  • At The Atlantic Cities, Richard Florida discusses the geography of abortion in the United States. Much of it shows how incredibly wrong pro-choicers are when they act as if pro-life policies do nothing to affect the abortion rate (emphasis mine):

    First and foremost, the geography of abortion follows the red and blue political patterning of the states. It is positively associated with the share of state voters who voted for Obama in 2008 (.60 to .65) and negatively associated with McCain votes (-.58 to -.63). This is a dramatic change from 1974-1988, the period covered by the 1994 NBER study, which found that “extensive Republican or Democratic control in a state is uncorrelated with abortion rates.” …

    Abortion is most strongly associated with the fault-line of socio-economic class, across three key dimensions—income, education, and occupation. Abortion rates track closely with the wealth and affluence of states: the richer the location, the higher the rate of abortions (the correlations between the two range from .53 to .65). This effect is in line with previous studies and thus appears to be of long standing.

Senate committee throws weight behind military abortion push

Over the past couple of months, the military has upped the ante in its fight to reduce sexual harassment and assault through education and prevention programs. This is all good, but it will take time to see whether or not these initiatives actually work. In the short run, women are still being assaulted, and some […]

Obama plugs Planned Parenthood in new video

Barack Obama and Planned Parenthood are Siamese twins that share one heart, cold and dark as it is. One cannot survive without the other.

Imagine the dire straits Planned Parenthood would find itself in today without Obama fending off its attackers these past three years. Planned Parenthood’s fortunes rest on Barack Obama. And vice versa. From the Boston Globe, March 27:

Obama’s support of infanticide takes center stage in Republican presidential debate

2/24, 6:40a: Conservatives are ripping Politico’s Alexander Burns for incorrectly identifying the object of Newt Gingrich’s criticism as Barack Obama’s opposition to a partial birth abortion ban rather than the Born Alive Infants Protection Act. Read this Newsbusters piece and this Red State piece. I’m also heartened by the volume of commenters who called Burns […]
