In August, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton highlighted sex-selection abortions as an abuse against women in India and China saying , “unfortunately with technology, parents are able to use sonograms to determine the sex of a baby, and to abort girl children simply because they’d rather have a boy.” But sex-selection abortions are not a phenomenon foreign to the United States. Oklahoma has taken an important step towards ending this abuse against women. With overwhelming bipartisan suppo

His latest stunt is to call for the burning of effigies of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi on Halloween. He claims this is in the great American tradition. That’s good, because it goes completely against the Christian tradition. Besides, being a Catholic for only five minutes, he clearly would not understand the profound anti-Catholic undertones of burning effigies around this date.

A follow-up and possible explanation to my previous post comes from The Hill, which reports on the way Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI) has made himself into the fly in the ObamaCare ointment. While Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-NC) tries to whip 218 votes out of the Democratic caucus, Stupak claims to control 40 of those votes, thanks to the federal funding of abortions in the House plan. Stupak now threatens to collaborate with Republicans on a procedural motion that will kill ObamaCare for the session unless

The folks at NBC’s long-running legal franchise Law & Order must have thought they’d garner headlines and praise for their ” balanced, thought-provoking ” take on abortion last Friday, an episode called ” Dignity ” based on the murder of an abortion provider. But balanced it was not: an episode that was meant to focus on the prosecution of a cold-blooded murder ended up putting women’s rights on trial–and viewers picked up on its slant right away.

-By Warner Todd Huston The Illinois Republican Assembly proudly announced today, October 27, that it is endorsing DuPage County resident Peter Breen in his race for the Illinois House seat in the 41st District.
