Meet Patrick Henry Hughes, a extraordinary young man that will inspire you. Patrick, born without eyes and unable to walk, “sees” his abilities instead of his disabilities.
And just as special as Patrick – his loving and sacrificial Dad. I would say they are each other’s heroes!

At least 20 states have passed laws that require ultrasounds for women seeking abortions.
[U.S. District Court Judge Catherine] Eagles, who was nominated by President Obama last year… said the North Carolina abortion law “goes well beyond” requirements that patients give informed consent to medical procedures.
The ultrasound provision could compel “an unwilling speaker to deliver visual and spoken messages to a listener who is not listening or looking,” the judge wrote.
Eagles said the provision is “likely to harm the psychological health of the very group the state purports to protect.”

So evidently we should sacrifice a mother to save a fetus, but pumping that fetus full of heavy metals is just dandy. Okay, then.
I really wanted to work this point into the cartoon, but there’s only so much inanity you can address in four panels.

E! News host Giuliana Rancic, married to The Apprentice winner Bill Rancic, announced October 17 that at the age of 36 she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
People reported Rancic underwent a double lumpectomy on October 18. Surgeons also removed potentially cancerous lymph nodes.
Rancic will begin radiation treatment in six weeks. Thankfully her prognosis is good because her cancer was caught early.
While the cause of Rancic’s breast cancer cannot be ascertained, her reproductive history was sure to have played a part.

Now there are lots of things said by outside interest groups during the heat of political campaigns that turn out to be untrue. What the SBA List said about the so-called pro-life Democrats who gave Obama the votes he needed to pass healthcare just doesn’t happen to be one of them….
Driehaus’s suit… goes directly at the heart of our First Amendment protections and criminalizes what is at least a difference of opinion….
What is equally curious, however, is why Judge [Timothy S.] Black has allowed the case to move forward and why he did not recuse himself from it since… he apparently is the former president and director of the Planned Parenthood Association of Cincinnati. As seeming conflicts of interest go this one is a real humdinger.

Brody: Are you for some sort of pro-life amendment to the Constitution that in essence would trump Roe v. Wade?
Cain: Yes. Yes I feel that strongly about it. If we can get the necessary support and it comes to my desk I’ll sign it. That’s all I can do. I will sign it.
