AZ sees 1st silver lining from Obama appts
CitizenLink reported on February 12:
For years, AZ Gov. Janet Napolitano [top right] vetoed virtually every piece of pro-life legislation that reached her desk.
After President Barack Obama named Napolitano secretary of Homeland Security, pro-lifer Jan Brewer [bottom right] took over as governor.
And life advocates are wasting no time in pushing pro-life bills toward her desk.
The AZ House is considering the Abortion Consent Act, which covers informed consent, parental consent and doctors’ rights of conscience.
Here’s Ms. magazine’s take…
There is also a silver lining in Obama’s liberally-stuffed stimulus package and move to take over the Census: These jolted sensibility into incoming Republican pro-life Commerce Secretary Judd Gregg, whose NH U.S. Senate replacement was to be pro-abort J. Bonnie Newman. That deal is now off.
I suppose having Gregg on Obama’s cabinet as a pro-life voice would have been a good thing, but who knows how long he would have lasted. Meanwhile yet another pro-abort woman would have sullied the Senate.

well maybe we can be hopeful…
maybe all the proaborts will just keep moving up the political foodchain and then onto the nursing homes where they will be euthanized by their abortion-survivor children who can’t find a use for these old goats anymore!
Gee, things ARE looking up!
BTW, since when is emergency contraception a women’s health and safety issue. Again the idea that pregnancy is a disease and a dangerous disease at that.
When will women stop viewing their bodies in this unhealthy manner?
I’m really glad that Senator Gregg finally saw the writing on the wall. Obama probably would’ve sent him out the back door just as quickly as he came in the front door, and then gleefully laughed to his ultra liberal supporters about how he “tricked the stupid conservatives”, and got his veto proof senate.
This saves Rahm Emmanuel sticking a knife in him. Judd would have been taken out quickly.
xppc
…..or sending him a dead fish.
Some real class acts in this administration.
Just a reminder. states have a lot of fine Republican governors. Obama is striving for a strong centralized regime and will battle state sovereignty. This is starting to smolder.
“maybe all the proaborts will just keep moving up the political foodchain and then onto the nursing homes where they will be euthanized by their abortion-survivor children who can’t find a use for these old goats anymore!”
Couldn’t have said it better myself. ;)
I couldn’t figure why Judd was agreeable in the first place. No conservative could really stand to work for the O administration IMO. Someone like Snowe or Collins yes but not Judd.
Good news about Arizona!
Yes, we in Arizona are THRILLED with Gov. Brewer. Jan is a delightful, intelligent, thoughtful person who will add integrity and responsibility to the governor’s office.
We couldn’t be more thrilled to see Napolitano out the door… although we apologize to the rest of the nation for whatever horrors she is about to wreak on national security. Honestly… she’s not our fault.
Elizabeth,
Wasn’t Napolitano the attorney for Anita Hill?
Janet Napolitan’s Arizona legacy was the biggest budget deficit in state history and liberalism run amok. This from a Governor who wanted to issue driver’s licenses to illegal aliens so they could ultimately vote in elections, of course, for the Democrats. She bankrupted our state when many illegal aliens bought homes in Phoenix, refinanced them, took out the equity, abandoned them, and retired to Mexico leaving all of us Arizonans and US citizens left to pay the bill.
She is nothing but a complete disaster, a godless lesbian, and political opportunist. She is absolutely the worst type of leader.
Her appointment to Homeland Security Chief can only, and I mean only seen as ont thing, strict judgement from God in regards to the security of this country.
HisMan…. wait a minute… our state? I had no idea you were here. Good to know that!!
I’d have to look that up about Anita Hill, although it wouldn’t surprise me. I was living in Oregon when Napolitano was first elected and came home to find the mess our state was in.
On a more personal note, I hope that this means that the plundering of federal funds for hospitals that Napolitano has been using to “balance” the state budget will stop. I work for a hospital system that provides the vast majority of the care for the indigent and uninsured and so, while the other hospital systems felt a bit of a pinch when she held onto federal funds not meant for her use, for us it caused major problems. Napolitano leaving can mean nothing but an upturn for us…
Although I must agree with HisMan about the likely consequences of her appointment to that particular position.
