Sen. Barack Obama was sworn in today as the 44th President of the United States. Politically, I'm sure that in the coming years that I'll oppose many of the policies Obama and the Democrat congress enact. This will likely begin tomorrow when Obama rolls back many of the abortion funding restrictions that exist under GOP […]
Father Richard John Neuhaus, one of America's great pro-life thinkers and religious public intellectuals has died. He will be greatly missed, for writings such as this: We are born to die. Not that death is the purpose of our being born, but we are born toward death, and in each of our lives the work […]
Here are some stories that have been cluttering up my Firefox browser tabs and might interest you: What's the matter with Kansas? Some Obamatons are already pushing for a federal holiday for their revered leader. Gazillionaire Warren Buffett wants the Estate Tax raised and the rich to pay more in federal taxes -- then why […]
Ross Douthat had an excellent skewering of law professor and alleged pro-lifer Douglas Kmiec. What I don't understand at all is Kmiec's position, which seems to be that the contemporary Democratic Party, and particularly the candidacy of Barack Obama, offered nearly as much to pro-lifers as the Republican Party does.

For now, in the waning days before Tuesday's election, this article will have to do. Let me start […]
Robert George has an excellent article on Obama that reinforces the fact that Obama isn't just "pro-choice," he's "pro-abortion." According to the standard argument for the distinction between these labels, nobody is pro-abortion. Everybody would prefer a world without abortions. After all, what woman would deliberately get pregnant just to have an abortion? But given […]
One of the things you eventually learn in your college editing class is that the photos should reflect the story and vice versa. Both should also represent reality. Unfortunately, that's something that too many journalists occasionally forget when it comes to hot-button issues. For example, long ago at Cal Poly SLO's Mustang Daily the editors […]
Here's a little summary of the two candidates positions on abortion and stem cell research. Note: Barack Obama, Democratic senator from Illinois Supports most abortion rights. Favors allowing states to restrict late-term abortions. And if you go to ontheissues.org, you find out this is true enough if you're uniformed about the details of abortion law. […]
