I was on the road yesterday afternoon when the news broke that Susan G. Komen for the Cure was defunding Planned Parenthood. Since then abortion proponents and news organizations have worked themselves into a frenzy speculating why it happened and who is to blame – from George W. Bush, to new SGK VP of public […]

UPDATE, 5:10p: Quoting The Hill: Planned Parenthood said it has established an emergency fund to offset the loss of the Komen funds. … Hey Cecile, if you and your affiliate CEOs agree to take a 1% paycut, that should about cover the $680K loss in funding. 4:53p: Huge, great news from the Associated Press, within […]

This morning Family Research Council will host its annual event geared for online pro-life activists: ProLifeCon. ProLifeCon is always a fascinating, fast-paced three hours, packed with great speakers and information specifically for those of us with a passion to spread the message of the sanctity of life through blogging and social media.

I attend many conferences, and Students for Life of America’s annual conference is about the best. I’m here today with son-in-law Andy Moore of AbortionWiki.

UPDATE, 7:52p: Personhood USA Life-stream choppy. CNN has great live-streaming here.

I can hear better with earbuds. Tweet at hashtag #ProLifeForum.

I say, “RIP,” sadly thinking Christopher Hitchens is not. The renowned liberal author and journalist died yesterday at the age of 62 following a short battle against esophageal cancer, since summer 2010. Hitchens spent his latter years evangelizing atheism. So he wanted it known he would not convert to Christianity at the end, and if […]

UPDATE 12/15, 7:24a: This is a big enough story that CNN is covering it, as is the Associated Press. This is a huge embarrassment to Komen and further exposes its relationship with Planned Parenthood to the general public. Kudos to Lifeway for doing the right thing. Kudos to pro-life groups, news sources, and blogs for […]
