Quote of the Day 4-22-10
The liberal Supreme Court litmus test (and there is one) mandates an outcome – a general abortion right – that cannot be democratically overturned. The conservative litmus test allows pro-choice Americans to fight for their views and, if they persuade a majority, prevail. The liberal litmus test prevents pro-life Americans from prevailing, no matter what a democratic majority is persuaded to believe.
In spite of his protests, Obama is employing and defending a litmus test, which insists on a certain controversial constitutional interpretation, which imposes a legal and ethical outcome on the entire country.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
I don’t think that conservatives want to vote on abortion any more than the left does. Ideally, we’d like the Supreme Court to rule that the 14th Amendment applies to the unbonrn.
