Quote Of The Day

“A lot of Republican leaders could care less about Roe and would prefer, if anything, to see it upheld, and even if Roe were overturned abortion would remain legal in most of the country. Nonetheless, it remains the case for all the pro-choice sympathies of leading GOPers, the Republican Party nearly succeeded in overturning Roe […]

Quote Of The Day

“When I first came to understand that Roe v. Wade was logically incompatible with the idea that babies had a right to life, I feared that if this decision were to stand it would eventually lead to the erosion, if not the complete abandonment, of the idea on which this country was founded, that “all […]

Supreme Court Upholds Late-term Abortion Ban

It took Republicans having control of the Senate, the House, the Presidency and to nominate two Supreme Court justices to finally get this gruesome procedure banned. If Democrats had controlled anyone of these, they would have prevented its passage.
The Supreme Court decision to uphold the ban is a great sign for women, for unborn children, […]

Quote Of The Day

“What the Holocaust taught me – as did communism – is that the denial of God can lead to genocide. There is a German scholar who wrote that one of the main reasons for Hitler’s ravenous anti-Semitism was that Judaism was the first religion to believe in the sanctity of human life. Judaism says that […]

Quote Of The Day

“I notice that the liberals within the Catholic Church are a big part of the organizing brains and muscle behind the huge illegal immigrant rallies in cities across the U.S. They are arguing that it is unkind and un-Christian to want to arrest people who have entered America illegally. They also fear prosecution if aiders […]

Quote Of The Day

“You cannot morally treat children, or fetuses, as if they have the same rights and obligations as human adults; they have fewer freedoms, but more entitlements. Children are not only uniquely vulnerable, but also uniquely innocent; that fetus did not ask to be in your body, and has no means at his disposal to get […]

Quote Of The Day

“Making the less-than-heroic assumption that legalizing abortion did not make it suddenly less prevalent, the most conservative analysis of the impact of Roe would suggest that it increased the pregnancy rate by 30%, the abortion rate by more than 50%. In other words, the effect of Roe dwarfs any other effect we have seen on […]

Quote Of The Day

“Education works by countering ignorance. That’s why initial anti-smoking education worked well. But after people knew that smoking caused cancer, telling them so again didn’t much deter them. Likewise, once people know how to get pregnant, and how to prevent it, telling them so more elaborately doesn’t get you much bang for your buck”.– Jane […]

Quote Of The Day

“The Democrats are trying to “reframe” their message to make people think they believe abortion is wrong. I think this is going to be a hard sell if they plan to continue ferociously defending abortion-on-demand right up until the moment the baby’s head is through the birth canal”. –Ann Coulter

Quote Of The Day

“Imagine my shock when I found a sensitive and balanced portrayal of pro-life counselors in the New York Times (”Some Abortion Foes Forgo Politics“). Too often, all we hear are the political arms of the movements of life and choice, and we forget that at its core these movements are both about women. […]

The High Cost Of Roe vs. Wade

Yahoo reports:
WASHINGTON - Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito turned aside Democratic attacks on his judicial record and credibility at contentious confirmation hearings Wednesday that left his wife in tears. …
Under persistent questioning, Alito also declined for a second straight day to say whether he believes, as he did in 1985, that the Constitution contains no […]

Quote Of The Day

“In other words, the post seems to suffer from the view of abortion that pro-choicers like to sell themselves: that it is the province of desperate women unfairly singled out by fate. Let me offer an alternative, and in my view much more plausible view: abortions are obtained by women largely because they, or their […]

Abortion And Risky Sex

Thomas Stratmann, Professor of Economics at George Mason University, and Jonathan Klick, Professor of Law at Florida State University, came out with a study that states:
Incentives matter. They matter even in activities as primal as sex, and they matter even among teenagers, who are conventionally thought to be relatively myopic. If […]

A Compromise On Abortion I Would Accept

Radley Balko, writing in Fox News, discusses a compromise on abortion I would accept:
While it’s unlikely that the Founding Fathers anticipated the abortion debate, they did give us a framework around which to govern on issues just like it — highly emotional, high-stakes issues that go to the core of one’s personal values and beliefs. […]
