Abortionist skirting partial-birth abortion ban
10 August, 2007, 2:19 pm

This is just disgusting:

In response to the Supreme Court decision upholding the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act, many abortion providers in Boston and around the country have adopted a defensive tactic. To avoid any chance of partially delivering a live fetus, they are injecting fetuses with lethal drugs before procedures.

That clinical shift in late-term abortions goes deeply against the grain, some doctors say: It poses a slight risk to the woman and offers her no medical benefit.

The benefit, of course, is purely legal...as in protecting doctors and medical facilities from being prosecuted for performing a partial-birth abortion. They...

Reports that firemen in San Diego were forced by their superiors to march in a gay pride parade is calling into question that city's commitment to the notion of religious liberty.

From World Net Daily:

Four firefighters are suing the city of San Diego for being forced by their superiors to attend the annual "Gay Pride" parade where they endured a barrage of sexual taunts and lewd gestures.

San Diego's fire chief, Tracy Jarman...

50 Senators Vote NO on Unborn Baby Health Benefits
3 August, 2007, 2:02 pm

50 uncaring Senators last night voted to not fund health care for pregnant women AND their unborn babies, a program which President George W. Bush authorized in a change to a children's health insurance program (SCHIP) in 2002. In a mostly party-line vote, the Democratic Party -- with votes from a few liberal Republicans -- voted to cover only pregnant mothers, but not their unborn children.

As LifeNews.com reported this morning following the Senate vote, "In an ironic vote, Senate Democrats led a fight against an amendment to the SCHIP bill on Thursday night that would have helped poor pregnant women and their unborn children obtain prenatal care. They voted against restoring a program that allows states to provide...

Democrat's UnDemocratic Outrage
3 August, 2007, 1:26 pm

Last night the Do Nothing Party -- otherwise known as the Democratic Party -- undemocratically pulled a fast one on the American people. The Republicans in the House of Representatives were attempting to attach an amendment to an agriculture bill which would prevent illegal aliens from receiving federal benefits, an amendment supported by the overwhelming majority of the American people. When the time expired on the vote for the Republican amendment, the vote tally on the tote board -- right above the chair of the Speaker of the House and the "In God We Trust" motto -- showed 215 FOR the amendment denying federal benefits to illegal aliens to 213 against the Republican Amendment. Yet, the substitute speaker in the chair ruled that the Democrats won the vote and...

Federal Court to rule on free speech rights for Christian students
3 August, 2007, 12:04 pm

As strange as it seems, we need a federal court to clarify the free speech rights of students when it comes to their religious beliefs. Check this out:

A future ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is expected to clarify the extent of free speech available to public students in the Boyd County (Kentucky) School District after students were instructed to withhold Christian viewpoints on homosexuality.

The instruction came in the form of a video that was part of school curriculum designed to teach students about "sexual diversity training." Boyd District's diversity training requirement began as a result of...

Sen. Jim DeMint on earmark reform
1 August, 2007, 12:35 pm

The following was an email received from Senator Jim DeMint this morning:

I need your help!

You have the right to know how your money is being spent in Washington. Currently, undisclosed earmarks (federal spending on Congressional pet projects) lead to billions of dollars in hidden pork barrel spending every year. Even under Democrat Speaker Pelosiís control, the House passed a bill which required the disclosure of all earmarks on the Internet 48 hours before they are voted on. I introduced a similar measure in the...

GOP playing hardball on judges?

From a reader email:

Politico reported Tuesday that “a plan by GOP leaders to slow down Senate business to protest Leslie Southwick’s stalled judicial nomination” may be playing out in the Judiciary Committee. The evidence:

“Senate Judiciary Committee business stalled last week after all but two Republicans failed to show up at two panel meetings on Thursday, preventing a quorum and frustrating Democrats, who had to adjourn in...

Gay marriage spreads to New Mexico
1 August, 2007, 11:56 am

For those who weren't too worried about the legalization of gay marriage in Massachusetts, check this out:

CBNNews.com - BOSTON - Gay couples from New Mexico can marry in Massachusetts because their home state has not explicitly banned same-sex marriage, Massachusetts officials say.

New Mexico joins Rhode Island as the only states whose gay residents are allowed to marry in Massachusetts, the only state that has legalized same-sex marriage.

Step by step. Anyone who thinks this isn't a national issue is kidding themselves.
