Oceanfront Property in Arizona

OK, I'm not Catholic. But I am pro-life, and all I gotta say today is "Go Pope!" That being said though I must admit an uncomfortable laugh slipped past my lips today, and it was no laughing matter.

President Barack Obama promised Pope Benedict on Friday that he would do everything possible to reduce the number of abortions in the United States, the Vatican said.

What? Are you kidding me? I mean, really?

President Obama (1) rescinded the Mexico City Policy on his third day in office opening it up for American taxpayer-dollars to fund abortion internationally. (2) He's lifted the ban on governmental funding of embryonic stem cell research. (3) His new budget calls for the removal of the Dornan amendment which prevents taxpayer dollars from paying for abortions in the District of Columbia. (4) He believes in the removal of the Hyde Amendment which prevents taxpayer dollars from paying for abortions nationally. (5) He and his Democrat colleagues believe taxpayer funded abortion should be part of any new Health Care Reform. (6) On the campaign trail he aligned himself squarely with the likes of Planned Parenthood and other Pro-Abortion ideologues promising that his first order of business in office would be to enact the Freedom of Choice Act. (7) He also promised to never nominate a Supreme Court judge that would not support Roe v. Wade–something that should be coming to mind with current nominee Sonia Sotomayor.

Now let me take a breath and continue...

On May 22 in a meeting to discuss "common ground" on abortion objectives, Wendy Wright of Concerned Women for America was abruptly shut down when she tried to suggest methods of "reducing the number of abortions." Melody Barnes, Domestic Policy Council Director, cut her off to make it clear, "It is not our goal to reduce the number of abortions." Well, it doesn't get any more blunt than that. Believe it or not, no one outside the 26-year-old director of the faith-based office, Josh DuBois, has ever said that the administration wants to reduce the number of abortions. Apparently, the media started propagating that language, and people believed it.

So what must have been running through the President's mind as he sat before Pope Benedict? I can only imagine him squirming in his seat, and hastily making his remarks just to get through the 40-minute private meeting. Apparently the Pope not only grilled him on the Catholic Church's position on defending and promoting LIFE, but he also got nailed on Embryonic Stem Cell research and physicians right to abide by their conscience.

Again I say, "Go Pope!"

And He's Outta There

Daschle Withdraws Nomination for Health and Human Services Secretary

#EpicFAIL

Daschle Ad = Ironic

Well, if you're following the Tom Daschle scandal you'll feel a little indignant at this ad. Obama's pick for Health and Human Services Secretary campaigned with this ad in 1986. Ironically, he's now being scrutinized for income tax evasion, and critics say he neglected to make things right with the IRS until his nomination forced him to. Ironically, part of what is in question is the limo service that he's been using for years.

No Stimulus Money for Abortion Industry...For Now

Nancy Pelosi's social engineering project will have to be put on hold for now.

House Dems Axe Birth Control Funds From Stimulus Bill

No one expected this ridiculous idea to be such a lightning rod of controversy, but thanks to the moral outcry and staunch resistance that erupted in the last 48 hours the current stimulus proposal will not be used to fund the abortion industry. It was absurd to even suggest that this was legit in the context of job creation to begin with.

While President Obama still believes in the federal funding of "family planning" services, for now he has become involved in removing it from the $825 billion stimulus which he desperately needs to pass quickly. Perhaps Barry will have to reevaluate the determination of the pro-life community and his dismissive caricature of what he called "a stale and fruitless debate" last week.

No. 08A407

Just FYPI- For Your Public Information

Justice Souter denied it, but Justice Clarence Thomas found enough merit in the petition to put No. 08A407 to conference.

On December 5th, just 10 days before the Electoral College actually casts their votes (You didn't actually think they already had done that did you?), the nine Supreme Court judges will conference together to discuss the petition challenging Barack Obama's birth certificate and U.S. citizenship.

This is an easy one, right? If he's got one, then show it. If not, then we should know...right?

Right?

Another Ad Breaking Today

Some things are more important than others

The Wedge Issue

Last night’s debate was definitely better than the other two. I enjoyed seeing a little banter between them. Both are crushing with their negative attack ads. The amount of media dollars being spent right now is staggering.

Concerning the short section concerning Roe v. Wade:

McCain: “I thought it was a bad decision.”

Obama: “I am somebody who believes that Roe versus Wade was rightly decided.”

All the sweet subtleties and eloquent sentences don’t sway me while the dreams of God are being snuffed out in wholesale numbers. I believe the Church will be held accountable for where she stands on November 4th.

It’s not like I really needed it, but Obama’s words last night encouraged me beyond measure that my solemn stand in prayer in front of the Supreme Court is desperately needed now more than ever.

Obama: (concerning the appointment of Supreme Court Justices) “And it is true that this is going to be, I think, one of the most consequential decisions of the next president. It is very likely that one of us will be making at least one and probably more than one appointments and Roe versus Wade probably hangs in the balance.”

The Bluff is Called

My head’s still spinning this morning. I could rewrite the whole synopsis, but you can just read it here. For 40 years the abortion industry has capitalized on nobody seriously questioning when life begins. This is the major presupposition of Roe v. Wade. Now that’s changing in the most meaningful way. The 8th Circuit Court yesterday ruled overwhelmingly (7-4) in favor of SD’s informed consent laying a bedrock foundation for arguing “personhood”–acknowledging that life begins at conception. We must understand that Planned Parenthood was bluffing all along. They’ve got nothing. The Court noted that Planned Parenthood “submitted no evidence” to the contrary. This is no longer to be excused as a theological or philosophical debate. The science is there.

This makes the Colorado Personhood Amendment very important this November. Not only will South Dakota be voting on restricting abortion from being used as birth control, but Colorado will also be voting on defining life as beginning at conception. Many thanks to the brilliant campaigns in those states that mobilized overwhelmingly successful signature campaigns to make all that possible. Vote Yes for Life and Colorado for Equal Rights.

Also, thank you Tony Perkins for this brilliant little piece. CALL THE BLUFF!

Whacha Gonna Do?

Sorry for the lack of well thought out content lately. But this just had to go up.
