David Hamilton is a hard Left, former ACORN fund-raiser and abortion radical who was rated “not qualified” by the ABA.
Now, via LifeNews, he is federal judge:
The Senate voted today 59-39 to confirm a pro-abortion federal judge President Barack Obama appointed to become a new appeals court justice. David Hamilton, of Indiana, is the first pro-abortion [...]

Democrat Rep. Dianne DeGette of Colorado is leading the charge to keep abortion funding in the Obamacare/Pelosicare government health care takeover bill.
She is fuming over the exercise of political speech by leaders of faith who oppose government abortion subsidies.
She wants to shut them up:
[DeGette] also said that religiously-affiliated groups like the U.S. Conference of Catholic [...]

There’s less than half an hour left of general debate on the House government health care takeover bill. *Update* More time for general debate. Govtrack says another House cmte gets time.
Next, there will be debate on the Kabuki Stupak abortion funding measure (which GOP leader Boehner exposed in his exchange with Charlie Rangel this afternoon). [...]

I called your attention last night to the Democrats’ struggle over abortion funding language in the House health care bill.
This morning, we learn that the majority is planning to evade sunlight and break its own 72-hour transparency rule by cutting a backroom deal with pro-life Democrats — and leaving out language on abortion funding from [...]

While leftist pundits wail and moan about the “extremism” of the Right, it’s pro-life House Democrats who continue to cause the majority the biggest headache as they wrangle over Obamacare:
Would abortions be easier or harder to obtain under the health care overhaul legislation that the House of Representatives is likely to consider later this week?
It [...]

Judge the Margaret Sanger award winner by the company she keeps:
Fundraising reports for all the candidates in the New York special election are due today, but the candidates have been required to report all donations above $1,000 in the final weeks of the race.
And, to get a sense why conservatives have been so cool to [...]

Stuck on stupid.

If you have given to the NRCC, RNC, or Newt Gingrich under the impression that they are using the money to support conservatism, you might want to ask for your money back.
As I mentioned in my column post on the NY23 special election, the NRCC is using conservatives’ money to back a radical leftist and [...]

Call. Them. Out:
Senate Finance Committee Democrats rejected a proposed a requirement that immigrants prove their identity with photo identification when signing up for federal healthcare programs.
Finance Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said that current law and the healthcare bill under consideration are too lax and leave the door open to illegal immigrants defrauding the [...]

President Obama says it’s a “fabrication” and “distraction” to assert that the Democrats’ health care takeover bills subsidize abortion.
Well, not to distract you, but the NYT reports today:
Representative Bart Stupak, a Democratic opponent of abortion, is pressing for a ban on health care subsidies for abortions.
Abortion opponents in both the House and the Senate are [...]

LifeNews reports:
Local officials and state police are confirming that a pro-life advocate was shot and killed outside a high school in this Michigan town. The person, who is described as well-known but whose identity has not been released, was shot multiple times while protesting abortion outside Owosso High School.
Officials say the shooting occurred at 7:30 [...]

Last month, I reported on how the Obama science czar’s office stonewalled my questions about John Holdren and his warm relationship with intellectual mentor and colleague Harrison Brown, a leading eugenics enthusiast who referred to the world population as a “pulsating mass of maggots.”
Investigative blogger Zombie provided an in-depth look at Holdren and Brown [...]

My syndicated column today presses again on the freaky-deaky science czar John Holdren and the implications for Obamacare. Related read: Stacy McCain sheds light on Big Money and the Culture of Death. And Matt Barber wonders: Will there be a co-pay for forced abortion under Obamacare?

It doesn’t get much more dishonest than this:
“Reducing the Need for Abortions Initiative.”
Steven Ertelt reports on the abortion bailout bill disguised as “pro-life” legislation:
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, a Connecticut Democrat who is a former NARAL staffer, and Rep. Tim Ryan, an Ohio Democrat whom Democrats for Life of America recently kicked off its board, are [...]

My syndicated column below contrasts the Left’s “unease” over the evangelical Christian faith of NIH director-designate Francis Collins with its radio silence on the eco-zealotry of Obama science czar John Holdren. But first, some late-breaking developments: As Zombie notes, the White House has responded to rising blogosphere unease with Holdren’s cultish ideas by pooh-poohing Holdren’s [...]

On Friday, I spotlighted the devastating reporting on Obama “science czar” John Holdren posted at zombietime and featured it as the lead story all weekend.
Refresher on Holdren’s eco-zealous views:
• Women could be forced to abort their pregnancies, whether they wanted to or not;
• The population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs intentionally put [...]

“Progressives” and eugenics.

My column today contrasts the White House and media responses to the Tiller murder with their silence on the deadly military recruiter attack. In the latest developments on the recruiter case, more targets were reportedly found on Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad’s computer. Yesterday, investigators said he told them “he would have killed more soldiers had they [...]

*Late-term abortion doctor George Tiller was gunned down at his church in Kansas Sunday morning in a thoroughly evil, cold-blooded act of domestic terrorism. Yes, terrorism. Not “extremism.” Interesting how the t-word has been rediscovered.
*Every mainstream pro-life organization has unequivocally condemned the killing.
I repeat: Every mainstream pro-life organization has unequivocally condemned the killing. [...]

“He might have called for toning down the rhetoric but his abortion policies are tuned up on steroids.”

An estimated 20,000 protesters are expected this weekend to oppose Catholic Notre Dame’s embrace of abortion militant Barack Obama.
Eighteen were arrested today at the gates of the university.
More than 360,000 have signed a protest petition.
The White House is pooh-poohing the controversy:
The White House has responded to opposition to President Obama’s appearance at the University [...]

She was yet another in a long line of tax-troubled Obama nominees. Worse, she lowballed the amount of campaign cash she received from infamous abortion doctor George Tiller. And yet, the two, pro-life GOP Senators from Kansas both voted for her confirmation. Kathleen Sebelius is your new HHS Secretary by a vote of 65-31:

GOP Sen. [...]

Wherever the wind blows

Math is hard.

A group of conservative leaders including reps from the Family Research Council, Concerned Women for America, the American Conservative Union, and others released the following statement this morning regarding the HHS nomination of Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. Yes, the back taxes issue is aggravating. But this is worse:
Gov. Sebelius May Not Pay Her Own Taxes, but [...]

More than 80,000 have signed the petition protesting President Barack Obama’s invitation to speak at Notre Dame.

Heckuva job, Kathy!

The Pope’s rebuke of pro-abortion Catholic Nancy Pelosi was diplomatically worded, of course.
But as transparent as Scotch tape.
Wham.
Pelosi’s response?
Blink, blink. Blink.

Yes, we can…subsidize foreign abortions.

GOP Sen. Jim DeMint flags the testimony of deputy Secretary of State nominee James Steinberg, who believes that abortion subsidies are constitutionally protected.
From Sen. DeMint’s blog:
James B. Steinberg, President Obama’s nominee to be the next Deputy Secretary of State, claimed in written testimony to the Foreign Relations Committee that Congress cannot constitutionally restrict taxpayer funding [...]
