(Prolifer)ations 1-14-11
Big Blue Wave points to a study out of Israel showing chemical Abortion may be less effective in women who have had a previous Pregnancy. The Family Research Council highlights an important article in the December issue of The Annals of Pharmacotherapy , co-authored by Dr. Donna Harrison , president of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists . It is in part directed to educate pharmacists on adverse events associated with Abortion drugs, such as the so-called “...

Abby Johnson's 'Unplanned' Journey to Pro-Life
In her new book, Unplanned, pro-lifer Abby Johnson exposes the reality of Abortion she once witnessed as the director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas. Johnson left the Abortion business in 2009 after witnessing a fetus respond to an Ultrasound-guided abortion. "I saw a 13 week old baby recoil and flee from the ultrasound Probe," she told CBN News. Planned Parenthood had led her and other patients to believe that a fetus could not feel pain or have sensory development until 28 weeks. "...

Top Ten Enemies the Pro-Abortion Left Fears
Now that Conservatives are gaining some power in Washington, the battle over Abortion is being reignited.  Pro-lifers could do very little to stop the pro-choice forces while so-called liberals controlled nearly every level of government.  But times have changed.  And that means those who fight for The Unborn are even more dangerous to the pro-abortion Left.  Here are a list of their top ten enemies. It is important to note that this list is meant to be for today and not all ...

Back to abortion
The Hill reports that an "intense" debate about Abortion will begin as soon as the debate on the Repeal of the Affordable Care Act resumes.  It could get very  nasty. If anything, the issue may have become even more divisive over the past week after the pro-abortion rights Guttmacher Institute released a report saying a steady decline in U.S. abortions between 1990 and 2005 appears to have stalled while incidents of harassment against providers are on the rise. Anti-abort...

Healthcare repeal will bring abortion debate to the forefront
An intense debate on Federal Funding for Abortions is expected to begin shortly as Congress resumes debate on repealing the healthcare law. The House is scheduled to vote on a Repeal bill next week, after a one-week hiatus following last weekend's shooting in Tucson that left six people dead and gravely injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.). Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have since called for the political Rhetoric to be toned down, but a looming showdown over abortion may make that...

Ann Coulter's Justifications for Murder
It is tragic that it took the attempted Assassination of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and the Murder and wounding of 18 others to bring home to most of us the horror of years of rightwing violence, threats of violence, and public Murder fantasies. While the actual views of alleged shooter Jared Loughner are hazy, and whether far rightwing influences on his thinking played any role in his motives for the shooting remains to be seen, we find ourselves nevertheless talking about the climate of hate a...

A new covenant: Scenes from the Branstad inaugural
DES MOINES — Representatives for Iowa’s Public Employees, School Teachers and universities are feverishly opposed to the cuts to education included within House File 45, presented by Republicans as the “Taxpayers First Act.” Iowa Democrats and Republicans have drawn very different conclusions about what role heated political discourse may have played in the Jan. 8 shooting of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and what changes politicians might make in the way they co...

Provocateur Lawyer Losing War Against Ladies' Nights
Ladies, meet Roy Den Hollander. He's single... Roy Den Hollander is losing the war against ladies' nights. The lawyer provocateur has spent the last three years filing class-action Lawsuits, appeals and petitions fighting the systematic destruction of society caused by bars giving free or reduced admission to women on ladies’ nights. This week, he learned that the Supreme Court had refused to hear his case. “Of course, the three females on the court probably voted against it. Fight...

Second Tucson victim buried
TUCSON, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- For the second consecutive day, mourners packed a Catholic Church for the Funeral of a Victim of the Tucson Mass Shooting. The service for U.S. District Judge John Roll was held under tight security, the Los Angeles Times reported. Everyone was screened before entering St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. Patrick McGrath, a bailiff at the state Supreme Court, drove from Phoenix for the service. He sometimes played golf and had lunch with the judge but said he was turned away ...

House Republicans Plan Next Moves At Retreat
The shooting attack on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords cast a pall over Capitol Hill this week. House Republicans postponed their vote to Repeal the Health Care law and there were calls for a less rancorous tone in congressional politics. Next week, Republicans will return to their legislative agenda. And in Baltimore on Friday at their annual retreat, they talked about how they will do it. Still, there were plenty of reminders of the past week's events at the retreat, starting with the large numbers of...

Arizona Republican: 'Bullets of fanatics' will not deter lawmakers from duties
Rep. Jeff Flake on Saturday stressed that last weekend’s shooting, which left fellow Arizona lawmaker Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) fighting for her life, would not deter lawmakers from talking and listening to the concerns of their constituents. Giffords was hosting a small event for voters in front of a Grocery Store in her district city of Tuscon when a gunman opened fire on the crowd, killing 6 people including one of her Staffers, a Federal Judge and a 9-year-old girl, and wounding 13 ot...

Federal judge remembered as a fair jurist
A hearse carrying the remains of U.S. District Judge John Roll arrives at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church before his Funeral on Friday, Jan. 14, 2011, in Tucson, Ariz. One day after mourning a bubbly 9-year-old slain during the attempted Assassination of a congresswoman, residents and fellow jurists gathered Friday at the same Tucson church to remember the Federal Judge. Judge John Roll, the federal jurist slain in the Arizona shooting rampage, was known for presiding over tough Immigration ...

Eleven Percent of This Memphis High School is Pregnant
​Pregnant teens! Here, there, and now here: Frayser High School in Memphis can now boast that the 90 (!) girls who were pregnant or had a baby this year comprise 11 percent of the Student body. That's a whole lot! The Daily News can't control its urge to apply the word "epidemic." But why is it happening? The same old reasons that get dredged out every time something like this happens, of course. Critics like Memphis' Girls Inc. Executive Director Deborah Hester Harrison places some of ...

9 Reasons Pope John Paul II mattered
By Dan Gilgoff , CNN Belief Blog Co-Editor Pope John Paul II is in the news today in a big way, with the Vatican announcing he will be beatified in May- the last step before sainthood. Most people know that John Paul was hugely important - one of the most consequential popes in history - without exactly knowing why. Here are 9 reasons: 1. John Paul II turned the role of pontiff into global celebrity. "He was the first pop pope," says Stephen Prothero, a Boston University relig...

Home video shows more bizarre behavior by Arizona suspect
Loughner does not appear in the video, released late on Friday by Pima Community College, and widely available on YouTube ">here It shows the Murder suspect walking around the college's West Side campus, rambling about the government and complaining about his grades. Loughner was kicked out of the school for what officials described as disturbing behavior. "Alright, so here's what we're doing. We are examining the Torture of Students," Loughner narrates as he walks past classrooms. In the 4 min...

Denver Planned Parenthood calls keystone cops for frosty pro-life caper
It was so cold the black vinyl sheet Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains uses to cover its fence to prevent clients from interacting with pro-lifers frosted over, which provides a fantastic medium for frozen messages.   When you use your finger to pen a message in the frost it melts and re-freezes, leaving what looks like a chalk message - until the sun melts it away. Pro-life Activists Debbie Evans and Jo Scott had just finished preparing the fence for that morning’s...

New Film Exposes Unions Decimation of Education
“Kids Aren’t Cars” is a new Short Film series set for release February 1st.  Using examples from the Midwest, it documents the impact Organized Labor has had on the American education system, creating a one-size-fits-all assembly line model that leaves Students behind and treats teachers equally, stifling innovation and improvement. Our government education system has been spending more and more each year, yet the results have been the same.  While unions demand higher spen...

Federal judge remembered as a fair jurist (Giffords shooting victim)
Source: AP TUCSON, Ariz. – Judge John Roll, the federal jurist slain in the Arizona shooting rampage, was known for presiding over tough Immigration cases but he was remembered as much for a gentler side, a man devoted to family who enjoyed walking his beloved basset hounds. One week ago, he had stopped by a Supermarket meet-and-greet for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and was killed, along with five others. The congresswoman, recovering from a gunshot wound to the head, was still in critical condition...

Lisa Hymas: 8 Things You Can Do About Population
As we zoom toward seven billion, Population Growth is looking ever more hairy and daunting. The big-picture solution is empowering women everywhere and making sure they have the tools, knowledge, and support to control the size of their families, but that's not something an average person can tackle on a lunch break. Of course you can (and you should) badger your congresspeople to fund family planning, both abroad and at home, and donate to nonprofits that work on these issues. But what can we...

Japanese government: Young men losing interest in sex
Stumble This! Young Japanese men are losing interest in sex, according to a study commissioned by the government, in a further warning sign for a nation notorious for its low Birth Rate, a doctor said Friday. The survey also found that more than 40 percent of married people said they have not had sex in the past month, said Kunio Kitamura, head of the clinic of the Japan Family Planning Association, who took part in the survey. "This is directly linked with falling birth rate. Policy actions ar...

Congresswoman Giffords and Congresswoman Bachman
What surprises me is how little Republican and Democratic politicians know about each other or even the fact that they don't know each other at all.   They work in the same building but they are worlds apart.  Their lack of familiarity with each other leads to rancor.  Not really knowing each other leads to the unthinkable (and I guess the media is also at fault for this): in talking about their political opponents, they seize upon soundbites of their political opponents take...

Suspect's violent descent came on chaotic night
(01-15) 07:52 PST Tucson, Ariz. (AP) -- Jared Loughner's descent into violence took place on a furious all-night excursion through the dark streets of his hometown, meandering from one store to another as he prepared to take revenge on a world where he became progressively alienated. He checked into a down-and-out motel. He picked up photos showing him holding a Glock 19 while wearing only a bright red G-string. He bought ammunition on one of three trips to two different Walmarts. He called a ...
