Moral Outcry

What would happen if a conservative supreme court justice were to retire? Jeff Greenfield of CBS news tackles that "possible" scenario. Honestly, if this doesn't get you to the voting booths come November, not much will.

We don't need no stinkin' hearings: The recess appointment of rationing advocate Donald Berwick, to become the director of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is so important that Congress has decided to hold hearings refused to hold hearings.

Women who rejected the “choice” to abort their babies will be bringing their children to Washington D.C. this week to tell Congress how thankful they are for the life-saving work of pregnancy help centers.

"The real problem isn’t unwanted children, but unwanting adults."

For as much as the pro-abortion side wants the public to think abortion is a perfectly normal procedure with little to no adverse side effects or consequences they simply cannot get away from stories like this:

In September 2008 (aged 17) I got an IUD because I got fed up with having to take the pill in secret daily (my parents didn’t know I was sexually active). In September 2009 (aged 18) my period was late and so I took a pregnancy test and found that I was 5 weeks pregnant. I went to my local sexual health clinic and they confirmed that I was pregnant and asked me what I would like to do. I decided to have an abortion as I feared that my family would disown me and also I had always said I didn’t want to have any children. Furthermore, I barely had enough money to support myself, never-mind myself and a baby. I felt like an abortion was my only choice. My partner said he would support me no matter what I decided to do.

The Nebraska Abortion Law May Be Reworked reports the AP:

A new abortion law requiring health screening for women wanting abortions in Nebraska may be flawed enough that Attorney General Jon Bruning won’t exhaust all legal options to try to keep it on the books.

Bruning said Friday he is considering whether it is worth the time and expense to defend the law through what could be a lengthy appeals process, or whether a new bill should be drafted instead.

“Despite the fact I’m very pro-life, I need to be realistic in utilizing the legal resources of the state,” Bruning said.

Our Declaration of Independence lends itself to the pro-LIFE cause:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Ok - self-evident, unalienable rights = life and liberty.

So how do pro-abortion organizations get around this fantastic document?

Well, the folks at Physicians for Reproductive Choice and Health (PRCH) decided to scrap the original idea and rewrite it in a way that best fits their needs

Now that the Senate Judiciary Committee has confirmed pro-abortion Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says the full Senate vote will come before the August recess.

Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) is planning to introduce the "No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act" on July 29.  If passed, this bill would establish as permanent many of the pro-life policies that currently rely on regular congressional re-approval, and which are attached as riders to annual appropriations bills.
