- FactCheck.org finds that the Obama campaign is twisting Romney’s position on abortion in their latest ad.
- In Colorado, a five-time DUI offender is responsible for a crash which injured a pregnant woman, her five-year-old son and killed her near-term unborn child.
- Another forced late-term abortion case in China is garnering attention:
Pan Chunyan’s pregnancy was terminated at nearly eight months in April because she had violated the one-child policy, Beijing-based lawyer Zhang Kai said.Her husband sought legal help after hearing about another recent forced late termination in Shaanxi province….
“They already paid a penalty but the pregnancy was still terminated forcibly,” Mr. Zhang told the BBC. He said Mr. and Mrs. Wu’s violation of the one-child policy did not give officials the right to terminate the pregnancy.
In an open letter published by US-based aid group China Aid, Mr. Wu said “a group of people” took his wife “forcefully” to a local hospital on 6 April after a brief detention, where she was given an injection.
China Aid has an open letter from Mr. Wu about the forced abortion of his unborn child.
That letter from the Chinese father is heartbreaking! I couldn’t help but cry and cry as I read it. So what can we do for them?????
I also kept thinking how VP Joe Biden said he doesn’t “second guess” China for their forced abortion of “illegal” children. Or rather he said he doesn’t second guess their policy and how they deal with it. Disgusting!

Sydney, I agree. My heart just breaks every time I hear something like this. What sort of country are we that we are willing to trade with China to get good economic deals and yet turn a blind eye to the anguish being wrought upon the people of China every day?
This administration above all doesn’t care. What calloused leaders we have!

P.S. And the Obama’s and Biden claim they’re pro-woman. Bull hockey! They’re only for women who fall lock-step in with their agenda.

I have a close friend who believes America should adopt a 1-child policy. He is extremely concerned about environmental issues and that concern appears to over-ride concern over the horrors that this policy has wrought.
We have to balance things out. National Review noted that ecological concerns can sometimes veer into becoming “anti-human.” China’s 1 child policy is a reminder of this. Overpopulation? What is the “right” population?
And how far should be go to ensure a supposedly “right” population?

Regarding the Colorado DUI story, it’s interesting how the article states that the women “lost her fetus”, rather than her child. Typical of our liberal media, and especially the Denver Post.
And remember that Denver is the same town where, in the last week, we’ve seen violent vandalism and attacks against pro-lifers.
And a sheriff’s department that has just implemented new policies to accommodate transgender inmates.
Sad story.

Hi Joe,
I wonder if this woman would refer to her dead baby as her “fetus”.

How can this administration denounce the Chinese government for their one-chikd policy when they actually agree with them? You are right Sydney M., Joe Biden told them so and his boss BHO and the 1st lady have sworn allegiance to PP and have written in a fund-raising letter for PP that partial-birth abortion “is a necessary medical procedure”. This is indeed the most radical pro-abortion administration ever elected in this nation’s history. He has been busy “transforming America” as he promised he would. Given a second term in office “you ain’t seen nothing yet” prolifers.

No news here. What would be newsworthy is if a single Obama campagin statement or position were true. Everything they put out is twisted. Everything.

Hi Jerry,
Now our hero is waging class warfare with this tax ploy, and it is only a ploy. Not that I’m surprised, its exactly what I expected him to do. I just didn’t know what his angle would be this time. He is pretending to put on this brave battle on behalf of the middle class, and people are actually suckering for it, when in fact he isn’t doing squat.
