**Written by Doug Powers Some of you might be familiar with Cassy Fiano, a writer/blogger I’ve gotten to know over the years. Cassy’s husband is in the US Marine Corps and is currently serving in Afghanistan. It’s through them that I became aware of, and have taken part in, the Project Valour-IT fundraisers (which Michelle [...]

File under: “How to fake a walkback.” With its unconstitutional, coercive, discriminatory Obamacare abortion mandate under fire, the White House announced…nothing today. A supposed “accommodation” to the policy will result in no compromise in the impact of the HHS edict forcing religiously affiliated health care providers and employers to provide insurance coverage for contraceptives, abortifacients, [...]

‘To Stop the Multiplication of the Unfit’ by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2012 If you aren’t creeped out by the No Birth Control Left Behind rhetoric of the White House and Planned Parenthood, you aren’t listening closely enough. The anesthetic of progressive benevolence always dulls the senses. Wake up. When a bunch of wealthy [...]

My latest column examines the Obama administration’s continuing war on religious health care professionals, which I spotlighted when the ACLU first launched its salvo against Catholic hospitals in 2010. What’s noteworthy now is the united front that Catholic bishops (who have traditionally taken big government positions) are now taking against the Obamacare abortion edict. Better [...]

As I note every year, it has become an annual ritual to watch the national media and liberal commentariat strain to ignore or marginalize the burgeoning movement of increasingly young and minority activists taking [...]

Culture of Corruption…Mwah! For the past four years, I’ve spotlighted the fight to bring Planned Parenthood’s predators to justice in Kansas. In October 2007, then-AG Phill Kline filed a 107-count criminal complaint against the PP racket, with counts ranging from falsifying documents to performing illegal late-term abortions. In February of this year, I noted the [...]

**Written by Doug Powers On Thursday, Republicans brought to the House floor a bill on prohibiting federal funds from being used to pay for any part of a health plan that covers abortions under the Obamacare law. Predictably, Nancy Pelosi immediately flew into full-Pelosi mode: At a press conference on Capitol Hill today, a reporter [...]

But it’s unsustainable

Still in London until the end of the week. The papers here have been chock full of NHS horror stories and health care cautionary tales as the British health care system marks its 63rd birthday. Meet some of the victims of nationalized health care ignored by Obamacare fantasizers stateside: – Neglected elderly patients. Health service [...]

5/19 update…Senate GOP blocks Liu nomination…”The final vote was 52-43, eight votes shy of the 60 needed to overcome the filibuster.” 5/19 update…Vote expected at 2pm Eastern today…RedState targets…Alexander, Brown, Chambliss, Collins, Graham, Isakson, Kirk, McCain, Murkowski, Snowe, and Thune…202-224-3121 I’ll repeat what I said back in January: President Obama just can’t let go of [...]

**Written by Doug Powers We had about ten updates and several hundred comments on the other budget/shutdown watch thread, so we’ll move to a weekend version for more discussion. One of the greatest tragedies this nation has ever encountered was narrowly averted last night. I speak of course of the devastation a government shutdown would [...]

The Left’s best and brightest have a new plan: Incorporate women’s uteruses (uterii?). This morning, I re-tweeted Van Jones’s effusive reaction to the ACLU stunt (h/t the_zarf): Here’s the story: The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida has a message for women who want complete control over their reproductive health: Incorporate your uterus. To help [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Here’s a lesson on the Constitution that’s worthy of a Schoolhouse Rock parody if anybody can think of a word that rhymes with “Lautenberg.” Sen. Frank Lautenberg was speaking at a Planned Parenthood demonstration and let loose with this (transcript by way of Hot Air): The Republicans in Congress claim they’re [...]

**Written by Doug Powers For those of you keeping score at home, this amount of money is the equivalent of about 1.2 million packages of Ramen noodles. Jim Geraghty at NRO: In Mike Allen’s morning newsletter, we learn Planned Parenthood will spend $200,000 on television ads, urging Congress to not cut federal funding for Planned [...]

In 2007, Johnson County, KS DA and former Kansas Attorney General Phil Kline brought a 107-count criminal complaint against a Planned Parenthood operation. In response to his whistle-blowing investigative work, Kline was put on trial and faces disbarment. NRO’s Kathryn Lopez reports on the witch hunt: He has been portrayed as a nutty prosecutor with [...]

If PolitiFact actually stuck to checking facts, as opposed to getting into scraps over political opinions, it might still be able to call itself a neutral watchdog. But PolitiFact is a political organization wrapped in the false mantle of objectivity. Karl in the Hot Air Green Room put it well in December when the group [...]

I am going to celebrate the bipartisan passage of the De-Fund Planned Parenthood amendment by…eating Ramen, of course! The GOP Rep. Mike Pence-sponsored proposal passed on a bipartisan vote this afternoon 240-185. Nine Democrats joined the GOP majority. Seven Republicans crossed over to hold hands with the Planned Parenthood predation enablers. Steve Ertelt at LifeNews [...]

The House is currently debating the GOP proposal to de-fund Planned Parenthood. Abortion radicals are raging mad. Raging mad that Republicans are exposing the abortion predators with story after story of criminal negligence, death, and exploitation at America’s taxpayer-subsidized death clinics. Raging mad that Republican women dare to talk about the psychological harm and trauma [...]

The White House and the Democrat leadership in Washington may not care, but the people of the state of Pennsylvania — in both parties — have not turned a blind eye to the innocent victims of the Philadelphia Horror. GOP Gov. Tom Corbett announced the firing of six state workers who aided and abetted the [...]

Republicans have had the opportunity to de-fund Planned Parenthood many times over the years and failed. Do they have the will and the courage to pay more than lip service now? In the wake of the Philadelphia Horror and related “women’s health” butcher cases, the momentum to strip the abortion industry racket of taxpayer funding [...]

Photo credit: ProtestShooter I reminded you last week that accused Philadelphia Horror baby butcher Kermit Gosnell was far from alone. The latest on the government-enabled mass murder that the White House doesn’t want to talk about: *Democrat Delaware AG Beau Biden has launched a “wide-ranging” investigation of Gosnell to see if he broke any state [...]

The butcher of Southern California.

Photo credit: ProtestShooter Washington DC – Pastor Luke Quinn, Quinn Chapel A.M.E. Frederick MD, asks: “Where is President Obama? Where is Jesse Jackson? Where is Al Sharpton?” Today marks the 38th annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. Throngs of peaceful activists — increasingly young and minority — will fill the streets of the nation’s [...]

The “fetal material”-stuffed freezer at Philadelphia’s “Women’s Medical Society” The mainstream news reports about Philadelphia’s serial baby-killer Kermit Gosnell and his abortion clinic death squad only scratch the surface of his barbaric enterprise. You must, must, must read the entire, graphic, 281-page grand jury report (embedded after my column below) to fully fathom the systematic [...]

President Obama paid lip service to opposing taxpayer funding for abortion. So, let’s see him join with GOP House Speaker John Boehner in supporting a common-sense codification of the bipartisan ban. Make your words matter, Mr. President. Via Speaker Boehner’s office: House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) held a press conference [...]

Just one word: Evil. Pure, monstrous evil that was ignored for decades by state regulators: An abortion doctor killed hundreds of babies by cutting their spinal cords with scissors after removing them from mothers late in their pregnancies, prosecutors said on Wednesday. Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams charged Dr. Kermitt Gosnell, 69, and nine associates [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Nancy Pelosi last seen having a fit of jealousy: The NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation dedicates the 2011 edition of Who Decides? The Status of Women’s Reproductive Rights in the United States to secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. Prior to her appointment to this post, Napolitano served for [...]

The ACLU’s Unholy War on Catholic Hospitals by Michelle Malkin Creators Syndicate Copyright 2010 Ho, ho, ho! Just in time for Christmas, the American Civil Liberties Union has launched a new salvo against people of faith. Even as billions around the world celebrate the birth of Christ, joyless, abortion-obsessed secularists never take a holiday. On [...]

**Written by Doug Powers There’s soon to be an entire wing in the Nancy Pelosi Hall of Ecclesiastical Shame dedicated to Lindsey Graham: (CNSNews.com) – Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said that Jesus’s Golden Rule inspired him to vote to confirm Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court and suggested it would be [...]

**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers …an alleged Catholic and an alleged Methodist. Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Stabenow, both supporters of the right to partial birth abortion even when the life of the mother is not at stake, got a nod of appreciation last night from all the members of Planned Parenthood whose mothers didn’t take [...]
