5:35p: I read with alarm a story at CNS News today that the Colorado Supreme Court is allowing an injunction to stand that prohibits pro-lifers from publicly displaying graphic images of aborted babies at a Denver church.
The Court’s reasoning demonstrated the height of judicial hypocrisy. It ruled signs such as Exhibits 43 and 9, right, “cause ‘psychological harm’ to children under 12,” according to CBN.

But now word comes from National Right to Life that a vote will indeed be held July 31:
There is ample biologic, physiologic, hormonal, and behavioral evidence for fetal and neonatal pain….

Yesterday the U.S. House Judiciary Committee approved a late term abortion ban in the nation’s capital, where abortion is legal for any reason until the moment of birth. The vote was 18-14, split on party lines.
Now we have only two weeks to pass this legislation in the full House.
On February 21 pro-abortion advocates including District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray, Planned Parenthood African American Leadership and Engagement Director Ludwig Gaines, and District Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (pictured right) held a press conference to decry the introduction of the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act in the U.S. House.
