Over at Stark Reports, Mike Stark posted an interview yesterday with Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) on health care and in the course of the [...]

Correction

Tuesday, I wrote about Planned Parenthood’s endorsement of Barack Obama [this is a correction from the original post, I accidentally wrote "John McCain"-- this was WRONG].

Black Pro-Life Advocates Speak Out About Planned Parenthood Endorsement of Barack Obama

Presidential Candidates, Congress on Abstinence Funding, UK Acknowledges Abortion Can Cause Depression

It’s been a busy week and I have not had a chance to address anything that has happened. First up, John McCain has said that he will keep the pro-life plank in the Republican platform. This is always a source of controversy on some level every election year. To have the candidate announce his intention [...]

Transcribing Obama

Just as I transcribed Hillary Clinton’s July 17th speech before the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, I am hard at work finishing the transcript for Barack Obama’s speech. I’ll be posting highlights tomorrow.
