“pro-choice” label alienates, fewer self-identify

I wonder why. Support for abortion rights dropped to a new low in the 18-year Gallup survey.Witness feminist teeth gnashing over this one: The 41% of Americans who now identify themselves as “pro-choice” is down from 47% last July and is one percentage point below the previous record low in Gallup trends, recorded in May [...]

“My job is to take into account everybody, not just some.”

So argued Obama while shamelessly drawing comparisons between himself and Romney during a commencement speech in Joplin. Never let a crisis go to waste. Or a speech, apparently. But this idea of “I govern everyone” isn’t how liberals govern, and especially not Obama. He surely isn’t the president of Catholics, of supporters of traditional marriage, [...]

Bring on the jokes (because abortion is just soooo funny)

The abortion jokes, that is. For some reason liberals happen to think it’s such a laughing matter. Pat Archibold at NCRegister writes: “Newt Gingrich’s campaign is so dead, Mitt Romney wants to baptize it and Rick Santorum wants to put it in a jar and show it to his kids.” That’s the joke that Jimmy [...]

“Like, YAY” generation willing to trade “like, liberty” for that pack of free birth control pills

I can’t shake this out of my head. Pundette posted this gem among many yesterday of a college crowd’s response to a Romney rally [emphasis hers]: But there was no indication that Romney’s message resonated. Some of those watching called out “Obama 2012.” The first question was pointed: “So you’re all for like, yay, freedom, and all [...]

Planned Parenthood pleads: Pray for abortions!

I missed this earlier this month when LifeNews covered it, but I must say I’m awed at the brazen sacrilege of calling people to 40 days of prayer for infanticide. Today is Day 38: Today we pray for a cloud of gentleness to surround every abortion facility. May everyone feel calm and loving. Because gentle, calm [...]

“A woman who does this is a heroine of feminism. A man who does this is a louse”

So writes Instapundit of Rahna Reiko Rizzuto, a mother of two who decided she didn’t want to be a mother anymore and abandoned her family to live in Japan and pursue writing. He’s right, of course. She is a finalist for the National Book Award for her memoir, Hiroshima in the Morning.  From the article at Parenting: [...]

“The future belongs to the fruitful”

So argues James Taranto of the WSJ yet again in explaning the consequences of what he terms the “Roe Effect.” More: We have another thought as to why environmentalism seems to have peaked with the baby boom. The key is in that generation’s moniker: “baby boom.” The baby boomers’ parents were unusually fertile, especially when [...]

Why I miss Rick Perry (alternate headline: Obama administration chooses to jeopardize women’s health over politics).

Because he’s willing to put his money where is mouth is, or in this case, he isn’t backing down to the federal government. Via Hot Air, Tina Korbe relates the aftermath of the battle in Texas over “women’s health.” Perry cut Planned Parenthood out of the Texas’ Women’s Health Program, and now the federal government [...]

“We have revived the practice of child sacrifice to the new deities of casual sex and convenience.”

So writes an anguished and anonymous father after witnessing the abortion of two of his triplets in a selective reduction at his wife’s insistence: their round of IVF was a little too successful. This is heartbreaking to read: My wife didn’t look, but I had to.  I had to know what would happen to my [...]

Make this a Memeorandum thread and do the job of the MSM: HHS finalizes Obamacare $1/mo abortion coverage

Or, as Pundette says in Finding Out What’s In It: I don’t think the majority of Americans are going to be pleased with this. They may or may not be okay with abortion, but do they really want the blood on their own hands, per order of the federal government? Isn’t there a law against that? [...]
