A federal judge has blocked federal funding for embryonic stem cell research because–gasp!– it’s illegal! Finally, someone with authority over this issue recognizes that fact. The Dickey-Wicker amendment prevents federal funds from being used to kill human embryos and it’s currently in force. However, the Obama administration issued an executive order in 2009 that allowed [...]
This article by Daniel Allott of American Values in American Spectator explains in a wonderfully simple way the complexities involved in how this pro-abortion administration has pushed abortion overseas– especially in the new Kenyan constitution. Years ago, pro-abortion groups found that certain phrases resonated with the American public (“Freedom of Choice” is the prime example). [...]
Elena Kagan, President Obama’s pick for the U.S. Supreme Court, has very little to commend her in terms of her written opinions. The big complaint seems to be that she has written very few articles or papers that showcase her judicial philosophy. However, based on what she has said, it is very possible that she [...]
While many may be upset that Franklin Graham made a not-so-subtle political comment about the president, I think that Graham has the right of it. His father was not public in his criticisms but Franklin Graham is not his father and I think he recognizes that he cannot shy away from issues that the Bible [...]
The President plans to have a nominee in place by the end of May. And, as expected, claims he has no litmus test. Yet he also says he wants a nominee who recognizes women’s rights, etc. No litmus test? Yeah, right. More later.
Hillary Clinton, representing this administration, has put forth the idea that abortion should be part of “health care” for women in third-world countries. We’ve known this administration is very pro-abortion and it should not come as a shock that it is pushing for abortion on demand in countries where delivering running water is a challenge. [...]
The president announced fifteen recess appointments yesterday. They include one to the labor relations board who is mired in controversy since Republicans opposed him as a nominee. Thankfully, the president did not stir more Republican ire by appointing nominee Dawn Johnson. Johnson has an extensive history with pro-abortion organizations and her appointment during a recess [...]
Press not invited, only pro-life Democrats have been invited. And does this Executive Order amount to anything? N.O. It’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. Am I still disappointed in Bart Stupak? Well, yeah. This legislation had more in it that just abortion– the fear is that this legislation will also lead to the [...]
The president just finished speaking on the Hill in hopes of encouraging Democrats to vote for health care reform. Hoyer came out and said they have the votes. Stupak is holding strong but it’s questionable how many pro-life Dems are with him. The parliamentarian for the House said the House could vote on changes before [...]

My friend Steven Ertelt over at LifeNews.com has a rundown of all of the abortion provisions to be found in the proposed budget from Barack Obama.
This is a great video on the budget freeze done by a math-type, non-political-type of guy. I love the ice cube. If you want to see more of what Shapiro did and how he came up with his calculations visit his blog Political Math. h/t National Review
FRC sent out a press release commenting on the less than stellar aspects of the President’s speech: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 27, 2010 CONTACT: J.P.

I know I don’t usually deal with issues outside of bioethics, abortion and so forth but I was really annoyed with, yet again, the unbelievable spin this White House engages in. I don’t want to put words in anyone’s mouth but clearly statements coming out of the White House seem to indicate staff there believe [...]
The Weekly Standard’s Blog posted the text of Senator McCain’s release.
I received a text yesterday telling me that Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Of course, I responded to the sender with the question, “For what?” I almost posted something on this blog immediately but decided to wait and really think about what I wanted to say. Sometimes, responding too fast is worse than [...]
Apparently, in the Baucus health care bill, if a person fails to pay the $1,900 penalty (tax) for not buying insurance, he or she could face jail time. Teddy Davis, writing on ABCs blog “The Note,” reported that on Thursday, Thomas Barthold, who is the chief of staff for the Joint Committee on Taxation, wrote a [...]
Sarah Palin’s speech in Hong Kong was right on target and what she needs to be saying right now. I know many griped about her leaving the governorship of Alaska but with the bias in the media against her, she will need this time to shore up supporters and get her message out directly to [...]
My in-laws live in New Jersey so this really hits home. The children in this video were recorded performing the song this past February for Black History Month. � I find the whole thing offensive because it sounds like we are praising “the Great One” or something. And of course the tune of the Battle [...]
