We already know Hollywood puts unrealistic expectations on mothers, expecting their bodies to bounce back as if they never bore children.

Case in point: Kourtney Kardashian’s ”adoring” boyfriend, Scott Disick recently dissed her for not lose her baby weight fast enough after her last pregnancy.

For the record, if Kourtney is 5′ tall, Scott’s ideal of 93 pounds for her would be considered underweight.

Last week Republican U.S. Senator Ted Cruz got Democrat colleague Dianne Feinstein’s “dander up,” as she later described her temper tantrum, when during a Judiciary Committee meeting he questioned the constitutionality of an assault weapons ban she had introduced. Feinstein snapped:

I’m not a sixth grader. Senator, I’ve been on this committee for 20 years. I was a mayor for nine years. I walked in, I saw people shot. I’ve looked at bodies that have been shot with these weapons. I’ve seen the bullets that implode. In Sandy Hook, youngsters were dismembered. Look, there are other weapons. I’m not a lawyer, but after 20 years I’ve been up close and personal to the Constitution. I have great respect for it.

Feinstein claimed one reason to outlaw assault weapons is they more than kill children, they dismember them in the process, which apparently is worse in her mind, since, as she said, “there are other weapons.” Meaning what? Cleaner kills are acceptable?

Whatever, this is the same Dianne Feinstein who as U.S. senator voted against partial birth abortion bans in 1995, 1997, 2000, and 2003.

As we all know, to commit pbas the abortionist delivers a baby up to the head in a breech position, punctures the nape of her neck with either fingers or scalpel, inserts tubing through the hole into her brain, suctions her brain, collapse her skull with forceps, and deliver the dead baby. Gruesome. Yet Feinstein said she was “truly shocked [about this] major strike against a woman’s right to choose” when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the ban in 2007.

As a supporter of the unfettered “right” to abort, Feinstein also supports late-term dilatation and evacuation abortions, wherein the abortionist dismembers the baby to kill him.

Senator Feinstein is indeed “not a sixth grader.” She is not as smart. Any sixth grader who was to hear a PBA or D&E abortion described would be horrified. Some adults, like Feinstein, lose childhood sensibilities when they grow up.

She said the doctor told her after the procedure that everything was “good and clear,” but she was constantly ill and in pain days afterward, leading to the emergency room visit where she learned she was still carrying a fetus.

“The look on (the doctor’s) face when he found out, he was like, ‘Oh my goodness, honey, you’re still pregnant,’ she said, adding that she and her fiance ‘were kind of in shock.’”

She is now suing the abortion clinic for failing to successfully commit the abortion, which eventually led to the birth of her “miracle baby” daughter, as reported by Canton Rep, March 15

The Dubliner, in Washington, DC, is the beloved Irish pub where pro-lifers congregate to inspire, conspire, and console before and after the March for Life each January as well as other meeting times throughout the year.

It is fitting, since Ireland is abortion free.

Last year President Obama violated our sacred space on St. Patrick’s Day.

A few words for President Obama from the saint himself…

I am at a loss to know whether to weep more for those they killed or those that are captured: or indeed for these men themselves whom the devil has taken fast for his slaves.

and…

You shall not murder. A homicide may not stand beside Christ. Even “He who hates his brother is to be labeled murderer.” Or, “He who does not love his brother dwells in death.” Therefore, how much more guilty is he, who has stained his own hands in the blood of the sons of God….

and this, also our prayer…

May God inspire these men sometime to come to their senses in regard to God again, so that they may repent, however latter day, of their grave crimes, namely homicide against the brothers of the Lord, and that they free these baptized women whom they have taken, so that then they may deserve to live to God and be made whole once more, here, now and for eternity.

Meet Christopher Duffley, a young man who was born prematurely in 2001 with several physical challenges, including blindness, from Oxycontin and cocaine which were passed into his system before birth. After spending his first six months in the hospital, the State of Florida took custody of Christopher.

At about that time, Christopher’s paternal aunt, Christine Duffley, began the process of seeking custody of Christopher, who had by that time developed double pneumonia. At 14 months, his aunt and uncle took him into their home.

Diagnosed with autism, Christopher did not begin speaking full sentences until first grade. His aunt noticed his love of music and decided to utilize music therapy, during which time it was found he had perfect pitch. At age 7 he began performing and has been in demand for church groups and singing the national anthem ever since:

Watch him perform singer/songwriter Paul Baloche’s well-known worship song “Open the Eyes of my Heart” at age 10, and “Lean On Me” recently at age 11.

Jivin J reported last week on a teacher who was fired from a Christian school because she got pregnant while unmarried, which violated her contract.

In that mother’s case, the school displayed hypocrisy by allegedly inviting the father of her baby to take her job.

I’ve seen this up close and personal a couple of times. One church handled it abysmally, and one church handled it gracefully.

What do you think should be done in situations where an unmarried employee of a religious institution gets pregnant or gets someone pregnant?

I can’t handle shots anymore. And I always think of the next day: If I’m hungover, how am I going to take care of Lorenzo? I had a hangover once, three months after I had him. It was bad. I wanted to kill myself. Never again….

I used to think my life was just perfect. No worries. I had a great guy and I could do whatever I wanted, like go to Las Vegas with my girlfriends. But having Lorenzo, he’s way better than any freaking Vegas club – he’s my whole life. It’s weird.
