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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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? Ghoulish science + Obamacare = health hazard by Michelle [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

“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.” – Greg Mueller.

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

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

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. *** More from Ed Morrissey: Message from Benedict: Study more. And he sent another message as well — that those with higher positions have higher responsibilities not to formally cooperate [...]

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 [...]

Thump, thump, thump.

There’s a very powerful read from Gerald Warner in the London Telegraph today. A snippet: This will end in tears. The Obama hysteria is not merely embarrassing to witness, it is itself contributory to the scale of the disaster that is coming. What we are experiencing, in the deepening days of a global depression, is [...]

Today is the March for Life 2009. Throngs of pro-life activists will flood Washington, D.C. You will barely hear about it in the MSM. Go here for more info.

Nope. Not shedding any tears over this recession-related news. Not one tear: Hit with declines in funding from the economic crisis and the Madoff scandal, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is laying off around 20% of its staff. Roughly 30 people were let go earlier this week, according to a source who works for [...]

A devastating loss for conservatism. Peter Wehner’s tribute at NRO says it all: The death of Father Neuhaus is a terrible blow. Not for him, who is now united with his Savior and his Redeemer, in whom Father Neuhaus placed all of his trust and all of his hope; but for us, who have lost [...]

From the American Life League: Bill Maher, Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel, Pelosi, Planned Parenthood, and Barack Obama make the list. Here.
