Have you been following the New Jersey Senate race? Cory Booker’s abortion extremism is the focus of this new video. During Friday night’s Senatorial debate, pro-life Steve Lonegan called out Booker for his support for late-term abortions at the expense of taxpayers:

Republicans in the House of Representatives have offered to start funding the federal government again if President Obama orders an immediate ban on all abortions.
In a lengthy press conference this morning, House Speaker John Boehner hailed the idea as a compromise solution to the ongoing crisis and blasted Democrats for refusing to consider the proposal.
“Last night I spoke to the White House and offered the Democrats what I thought was a very reasonable compromise to end this government shutdown,” Boehner explained. “All President Obama has to do is immediately end all abortions in this country, and we’ll consider funding the government again.”

In another example, transgender pregnancy is defined as the “last frontier” in assisted reproductive technology. Intrauterine insemination has made it possible for a transgender woman born with a male body and her bisexual lover to have a baby.
Charlotte Allen writes about the surrogacy business — a direct result of in vitro fertilization’s acceptance. Allen reports from the perspective that surrogate motherhood is acceptable in our culture. She apparently does not view the practice as morally fractured.
The three-parent embryo is another good example of an experiment with no concern about the potential risks. Actually, the only reason for such research is to prove that science can rid the world of defects in preborn children. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration will hold public hearings on this practice. While we have not heard about this in the media, we also will not hear about the tragic risks associated with it.
There are so many examples of these reproductive technology horrors that one could write a book about them. But the overriding problem is the public’s acceptance of the manipulation of the human being who is treated as nothing more than a science experiment.

Anna is a woman from Rome who at age 35 became pregnant. But the father, who she discovered was married, advised her to have an abortion. Desperate, she wrote Pope Francis of her situation.
She received a personal phone call from the Pope, who told her “not to let people rob her of hope”, and even offered to baptize the child himself!

We have made a significant impact, abortion clinics are closing… in our evolution, we believe the next step is adoption….
More adoptions will lead to less abortions. More women will see opportunities to have their child and keep their child or place their child for adoption….
We’ve adopted two children, domestically and internationally, and what we’ve noticed, my wife and I, it was actually easier to adopt in Guatemala than to adopt our son from Cleveland.

Above was the headline on Drudge until a few moments ago. Below was the message one got when trying to access amberalert.gov until a couple hours ago:
The latest, from The Guardian:
The Amber Alert child abduction notification system remained fully functional during the government shutdown, the Department of Justice insisted on Monday, despite its website being taken offline for a week.
The site was brought back online on Monday morning after a weekend of speculation, criticism and crowing over the weekend, particularly from rightwing commentators….
But the fuss was misplaced, the Justice Department said….
Although the amberalerts.gov website did carry a message saying it was unavailable “due to the lapse in federal funding”, the DOJ said the site merely carries information “about DOJ’s role in providing trainings to states on how to have amber alert system”, CNN’s Jake Tapper reported.
But erecting roadblocks to Ambert Alerts in any way whatsoever hinders the program. As I tweeted earlier this morning:
.@freddoso That DOJ claims Amber Alert fully functional despite website shutdown defies logic, ie who needs phones when we have morse code

Meanwhile, not only has Michelle Obama’s letsmove.gov website continued throughout the government shutdown without interruption, ”Barack Obama’s federally funded golf course remains open,” according to Erick Erickson.
So Obama has gone from targeting elderly World War II veterans to targeting missing children. But who should be surprised? Pro-lifers warned that a president who endorses partial-birth abortion and post-abortion infanticide will show similar disregard to persons at other stages of life.
But if we didn’t know it before, we know now via the Amber Alerts snafu that Obama/Democrat decisions on what government functions remain open and what don’t are completely arbitrary. As a matter of fact, did you know…
… the Washington Examiner on Saturday reported that only 17% of the federal government is shutdown, which would beg the question as to why a safety system such as the Amber Alert system is down.
This is another reason that, as Erickson reported:
Republicans are winning the shutdown fight, and Democrats know it.
People turning on the news this week came away with the knowledge that it was about Obamacare and kept hearing that Democrats wouldn’t negotiate. They also learned that for some reason the President didn’t want Word War II veterans to tour their own memorial, and Harry Reid won’t turn the funding on for cancer clinical trials at the NIH. Oh, and the rollout for Obamacare is one big glitch.
In addition to, and/or put another way:
Since the shutdown, John Hawkins of Townhall.com on Friday noted six things that the public has learned about the Democrats from the government shutdown.
Hawkins listing includes Harry Reid doesn’t care about kids with cancer, Barack Obama is willing to deliberately tank the stock market for political reasons, Democrats don’t care if Obamacare works or not, the Democrats absolutely, positively will not compromise, Democrats don’t care about veterans, and Democrats in Congress believe they should be exempt from Obamacare.
There is one shutdown I’m particularly happy about, even as I roll my eyes…
Due to Congress’s failure to pass legislation to fund the government, updates to this account will be limited. #Shutdown

If she were living today, October 6th would have been the 105th birthday of actress Bette Davis (1908-1989).
Today we feature a scene from The Nanny in which Bette’s character learns of her daughter Janet’s illegal abortion that resulted in her death. In this riveting scene, she is reprimanded by her daughter’s doctor for being there for her 25 years too late, looking instead after other people’s children.

One has to wonder how painful this movie was for Bette, having gone through three abortions herself.
In 1985, Bette’s daughter Barbara published an account of her childhood, portraying her mother as “a ghastly, neurotic, foul-mouthed, pugnacious boozer.” Bette never forgave her.
