NARAL is a bunch of blatant liars.
Sunday's "Meet the Press" featured a conversation between law professor Douglas Kmiec and former New York Governor Mario Cuomo, a Democrat. The subject was Catholics and the Supreme Court and whether a devout Catholic can actually be allowed to serve on the Court. If you didn't see the show, then you should definitely read the […]
Los Angeles Times media critic David Shaw died last night. Though Shaw was disdainful of bloggers (they don't have "four experienced editors" checking their copy), he was also a talented and honest journalist. I first ran across Shaw's work nearly a decade ago as I was working on my senior project at Cal Poly SLO—an […]
Democrat Party Chairman Howard Dean is trying to "reach out" to pro-lifers -- kinda. He discussed the abortion debate after a student questioned why the party was supporting Bob Casey Jr., a Pennsylvania Democrat challenging incumbent Republican Sen. Rick Santorum.

Now, federal prosecutors in Buffalo are pressing their charges against Mr. Kopp, among them a charge that […]
Poor and Stupid's Don Luskin points to an article (which has unfortunately fallen behind a subscription-only wall) that suggests something rather obvious -- that without abortion, there would be more Americans alive to pay Social Security taxes. Look at the amount of Social Security taxes paid by the average taxpayer in 2004...and then multiply that […]
Nothing new there -- National Review's Ramesh Ponnuru posts his take on David Brooks' recent column on Roe v. Wade and the level of vitriol in American politics.
David Brooks' column in Thursday's New York Times is well worth a read. While I don't agree with his assessment of the effects of the proposed change to the Senate's filibuster rule -- or even the accuracy of his portrayal [PDF document] of it. In response, Republicans now threaten to change the Senate rules and […]
